「Pierce through!!」
While the 《Squall Arrow》 left behind a green track, it closed in several times faster than the arrows from before.
The other Elves placed their thoughts of “Go! Pierce through him!” into it.
Rem and Shera called out Diablo’s name.
Diablo didn’t evade it.
Invalidating 《The Hollow of Jet Black》’s Damage Reduction effect, the arrow’s speed didn’t fall even by a little.
——If I were to receive something like this with my own flesh and blood, it would probably go straight through to my back.
Pain ran through his abdomen.
It wasn’t a stabbing pain like he had expected, it was a reverberating pain like being hit with a fist.
「Guh……」
A dry sound was raised on the ground.
The green arrow didn’t pierce through Diablo. It tumbled to the ground.
Voices that were similar to screams were raised by the Elves.
Rem and Shera looked like they were going to hug each other and were delighted.
「……As expected of you.」
「Thank goodness~!!」
And then, Selsio opened his eyes wide and quivered.
「……How could this be……You’re telling me, the arrow I was granted by His Highness, had no effect?」
「Hmph……The arrow wasn’t bad, but you were just unskilled.」
Selsio’s face warped.
People really do laugh when they’re driven into a corner, is what Diablo thought.
「Wh, what in the world, are you……Are you really a Magician? Then that talk of you being a slave trader……What was that about?」
「I don’t know who inspired that idea, but I am no slave trader, and I’m not an ordinary Magician either.」
「……As I thought……Just what, are you?」
「You should engrave this in your heart together with fear. My name is Diablo. A Demon King of another world.」
At Selsio’s group’s back——towards the forest, he fired a 《Freezia》.
Thunderously, the wind rumbled.
The frost effect fluttered about and fell.
The Man-Eating Forest froze from the cold air of the magic.
A beautiful flower of ice opened up.
The nearby monsters ran away in confusion. There were also wild animals that jumped out from the forest.
What ran out from the swamp were the 《Spotted Snakes》. Though, since the quest was a trap, they were no longer needed.
Additionally, wild animals that were several meters large were running away while raising screams.
It seems that the wild animals were more well attuned in regards to danger than the people of the races. There was nothing that went towards Diablo.
Selsio’s group sank down to the ground while gazing at that spectacle. Going by their appearance, Diablo confirmed that they had lost their fighting spirit.
Diablo lowered his 《Staff of Tenma》.
