Chapter 71
The Knight of
the Holy Remains
Translator : PolterGlast
After taking a nap, I
felt a little calmer.
To organize my
thoughts, I tried to summarize the information in my head by speaking it out
loud.
"I think that was
probably the knight himself, from whom this dungeon's name is derived... I
think."
That must be the
knight who is enshrined in the deepest part of this dungeon.
For some reason, I was
convinced of that.
"Since he was the
knight in the deepest part of the [Knight's Holy Remains], let's call him... the
Knight of the Holy Remains."
That Knight has
characteristics of both a Skeleton and a Revenant.
This is something that
wouldn't normally happen.
A Revenant has the
body and memories of its previous life, while a Skeleton wanders without any
memory of its previous life.
It has the properties
of both of these.
I guess this means
that the common sense of this world doesn't apply to boss monsters.
That technique called
Holy Magic Reversal was also strange.
The black aura that
had been erupting initially turned pure white the moment he used it.
Now that some time has
passed, I realize that those were the mana of darkness and light.
Judging from the name,
that must be a technique that switches the elements of darkness and light.
It's natural to assume
that the form of the Knight changes depending on the current element.
It's like a final boss
with two forms that switch depending on the situation.
And that monster also
used a technique I had never seen before.
It was a technique
called Grand Cross, which was activated by pushing out the cross-shaped slash
that was hovering in the air with light mana.
The necessary motions
should have been many, but the movement was too smooth.
The activation time
seemed to be quite short, though.
That technique was so
powerful that it shattered the door that even the Wind Bastard's magic couldn't
break, so its power is probably quite dangerous.
Even if I used
Judgment Ray to counter it, I don't know if I could win...
With that kind of
technique, it's probably some kind of level cap bonus for a skill.
Considering that, he
should have a lot of techniques he can use.
On top of that, he can
fight in that skeleton state, so I can't see his bottom at all right now.
He might even have a
way to attack me in my home with a different approach than the enemies I've
faced so far.
If possible, I don't
want to show him any openings.
"For now, let's
figure out the trends and countermeasures..."
I washed my face at
the sink to wake up from my dazed state and entered the simulation room.
But I have the power
of this simulation room.
Even if he's a
powerful opponent that I can't defeat at first sight, if I can analyze his
strength and come up with countermeasures, I should be able to defeat him.
I don't think that god
would create such an unfair boss.
[Please select an
opponent to train with.]
My hand, which was
about to select that monster, stopped.
"...What does
this mean?"
It said something like
this.
The Knight of the Holy
Remains (Degraded)...
Oh, so the name is
decided as the Knight of the Holy Remains.
But what does degraded
mean...?
"...Well, I guess
I'll just have to fight and see"
I selected him, and
after waiting, a monster that looked exactly like that knight appeared in front
of me.
"This is... yeah,
it's definitely degraded."
I can feel the
pressure from that skeleton.
But it doesn't have
the kind of danger that makes my skin tingle and sense the danger of death.
Probably, there's a
limit to what the simulation room can reproduce.
"Well, in any
case, I'll make good use of it."
I charged at the
Knight of the Holy Remains with the intention of defeating him seriously.
And then... no matter
how many times I used magic, it didn't work at all, and I couldn't find an
opening to use a big technique. When I allowed him to approach me, my head was
cleanly cut off in one blow--.
