Chapter 50 – Attack Three Times!
“What is this person thinking?!”
Lucia held her head and screamed at the sight of Tiaran proudly speaking of defeating the enemies.
“As expected, we were in the same group.”
“How do you know this?”
As she was watching them, Anise asked curiously that Tia Ran was doing exactly as expected. He shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“How do you know? Haven’t you heard that the world is big and there are a lot of assholes?”
“… Where on earth does such a thing come from?”
“You learn it as you live.”
Lucia found it fascinating as well. If you follow him, he may seem absurd and ridiculous, but he has never suffered any loss.
Since she was in charge of the party’s finances, she couldn’t help but notice that her profits had increased exponentially after recruiting him.
“Now that they’ve shown their true colors, let’s do our part.”
“Are you sure you want to deal with all these people?”
Lucia looked around and asked anxiously. As the bandits appeared, all the people guarding the top were facing the bandits except for them, so they could be seen at a glance.
The number, including the bandits, was more than 100 people, and after detecting them through search, it was exactly 147 people. I wonder if I should say that they are all enemies.
‘Are all the people at the top really the enemy?’
‘I guess so. These guys are used to soaking people.’
Because Tiaran already answered Anise’s question that way. They weren’t just playing around pretending to guard the top.
‘How has the number of people changed again?’
‘Yes, the number has increased from 89 to 90.’
Under Tiaran’s instructions, every time we used the search engine to count the number of people, there were often people who joined or disappeared as if they were trying to communicate with someone.
There were a lot of people running the top, and they were all strangers, so if there had been no search, they would have passed over without knowing.
“I know when I see it. When I see it.”
That’s why, despite Tiaran’s vague answer, Lucia thought there must be some way for him after seeing what he had done so far.
“… What is this? Who is this crazy guy?”
“When you say something nice, give it all away. Algan?”
Even the bandit leader spoke as if it were absurd to see such a proud appearance, but Tiaran still seemed to be speaking sincerely.
Haha! What is this? What is this?”
Haha! What kind of bastards are there?”
“Is it because of this stupid bastard that we went through all that trouble?”
Everyone who was watching that scene burst into laughter, regardless of whether they were bandits or people at the top.
“Hey, you idiot. Don’t you understand the situation yet?”
“Oh, it’s really meaningless.”
While Lucia was anxious about what to do as everyone was laughing at Tiaran, she suddenly turned her head when she heard a hand pulling the hem of her clothes, and saw Anis.
“Lucia, Lucia.”
“Anis? What’s wrong?”
“Can we check people’s locations through search?”
“Now that I think about it…”
When Lucia confirmed the location of the people as she said, she was able to realize Tiaran’s intentions.
“Everyone is looking at Tiaran, right?”
Even around them or in the carriage carrying the cargo, there was not a single person riding or guarding it. While confronting the bandits, everyone was distracted by Tiaran’s appearance and were laughing at him.
A situation that would never have happened if it were a normal top. Lucia already knew why this situation happened.
‘There are very few people who properly watch the night.’
Although it is normal to have a few people on watch, it was after confirming with Tiaran that even those on watch were often drinking or making jokes.
‘I guess it’s not something to sell anyway, but something to be disposed of.’
He said that the disposal site would be the canyon where they would arrive for sightseeing reasons.
“Anis, please protect me just in case.”
“Yes.”
As soon as I realized the situation, I got out of the back of the carriage and asked Anis, and she held up her holy sword. Everyone was preoccupied with Tiaran anyway, but his Maka was so noticeable that there was no harm in being careful.
-Passy!
That was when Lucia was concentrating and gathering her Maka’s energy.
‘Ugh, there are two people coming this way, right?’
“Giggle, you said Nimakara. That’s a complete idiot, isn’t it?”
“Well, if it was a bastard like that, there wouldn’t have been a problem if we just dealt with it.”
“First, Danju said we’ll need it when negotiating with the bandits. Let’s take the women with us first.”
Concentrating on the vaguely heard voice, it seemed like Capoa had told me to bring them.
“Ah, those women are gorgeous. Can’t I just have a peek at them too?”
“The bandit leader and Ketan are targeting these women at the same time. Can you handle them?”
“Ugh, no way.”
As they got closer and closer to them, Lucia frowned at the clearer sound of the voice and Anis prepared to swing her sword at any moment.
“Come out! You bitches!”
Finally, they approached the carriage and banged on the door before swinging it open.
“Come out quickly… Huh?”
“What? Why no one?”
They couldn’t be found because they had already left the carriage and were hiding in the back. And just then, Lucia’s preparations were finished.
“[Raudo Fulgor]!”
At almost the same time, the lightning that had gathered in a ring shape above Lucia’s head was shot into the sky, and at almost the same time, lightning struck the top of everyone’s heads exactly according to the number of people except them and Tiaran.
-Roaring!!
At the sound of thunder that followed, Lucia opened her eyes wide in surprise, even though it was Maka I had created. That’s because I heard a louder sound than I expected.
Originally, [Raudo Fulgor], Unlike [Quito Fulguetra], Which focused on destructive power, boasted precision in accurately targeting the target, but there was a feeling that a certain amount of destructive power was sacrificed.
I also think that maybe it’s because the number of targets is higher than usual.
‘Even taking that into account, the sound was too loud.’
In terms of the lightning produced by [Raudo Fulgor], It was normal for the power itself to not be that much different from shooting [Raudo Tellum] In succession. I didn’t even receive Tiaran’s buff.
“Anis.”
“I will take the lead.”
First, it was clear that all the lightning she created through [Raudo Fulgor] Had hit, but she left the front to Anis in case there were people who survived, and slowly got out of the back of the carriage and looked outside. Br〉
“Wow, this is amazing! This is magic after all! Our newbie is the best!”
There, among the people who had been charred by Lucia’s marker, was Tiaran, fussing as if he were a child.
“Puh-huh, I really can’t survive.”
Seeing that, all of her concerns and any remaining doubts about her role disappeared.
‘When you see something like that, you can’t help but like it.’
This alone made Lucia quite proud of the fact that she had become a Macacia.
“Well, I wish my Maka was as gorgeous as Lucia.”
“Heung♪ Isn’t Anise’s Maca quite gorgeous?”
Anise was also a Maka who used light, so she was second to none in terms of splendor, but her gaze toward Lucia was sullen.
“… Are you taking revenge?”
“Hehe, I’m just telling the truth.”
However, while Lucia’s Maka focused on wide-area attacks and destructive power, Anise’s Maka was largely similar to all attack, defense, and self-buffs that supported body protection and attack.
That alone was flashy and impressive enough, but Tia Ran was particularly fond of the spells created by Lucia’s Maka, so she was able to make Anise jealous.
“But isn’t it a bit surprising that there are people who are fine even after being attacked by our rookies?”
“What?!”
She was startled by the sound of Tia Ran’s voice and when she raised her head, there were two figures who stood up unsteadily.
“Ugh, you bastard. Aiming for this…!”
“Damn Nimaka bastard!!”
It was none other than the bandit leader and Ketan. How did she recognize him wearing armor?
She had noticed from the beginning.
‘That guy is wearing the equipment he stole from Crusha?’
‘Then who is that person?’
‘It’s the only gold level one here, and I can’t see him, so I’m sure.’
Not only was Ketan, who was obviously acting like a Kapoa leader, not visible, but he was wearing equipment that should have originally belonged to Tiaran.
‘Should I take it away right away?’
‘Calm down. If you kill it like that, it will be hard to take it off.’
‘That’s right. And that’s not the only thing we need to find.’
Anis, who found out about this, became distracted for a moment and sharpened the blade of the holy sword, but was able to calm down with the persuasion of Tiaran and Lucia.
Even though she continued her seemingly peaceful journey, it was a struggle for her to stop her from sneakily holding her holy sword every time she walked around them pretending not to be Ketan.
“So you told me in advance? You were going to rob them.”
“How did someone like Nimaka know about our plan?!”
“Why don’t you take off my armor that you’re wearing? Pretending not to know is another thing. Man.”
“Kkeukkeuk, that famous adventurer made a big mistake.”
When the bandit leader who heard Tiaran’s words laughed at him, Ketan irritably took off his helmet.
“Who makes you think I’m wearing this armor that doesn’t fit my body!? I can’t even show my face in the territory because of the newspaper you spread!!”
“Ah, so who threatened me with a knife to have a kkwachu show in the middle of the guild?”
“You did it!!!”
Ketan’s unfair voice rang out.
