VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Chapter 54 The Assualt

And that night...

We launched an assault on Gimora.

▽

There was already talk on the message board about organizing a large-scale raid to defeat Gimora.

The enemy is a field boss specialized in "escape."

To defeat it, you first need a location where it can't escape. That requires a large group to surround it and block its escape routes.

Jackjack stroked his long beard.

His white beard, flowing in the night wind, twisted like a dragon. His wrinkled eyes narrowed sharply as he glared down at Gimora wandering beneath the cliff.

"According to Rasetsu-sama, the group battle will take place in three days. I doubt Gimora will be caught by a mob... Considering how troublesome Gimora is, it's likely a diversion."

"Diversion?"

Liora, who was clutching her scythe behind him, muttered.

Jackjack turned to her, smiling in the moonlight.

"Those familiar with Gimora in its prime would understand why it runs. It's waiting for its enemies to gather, planning to wipe them all out in one swoop."

"Why doesn't it always do that?"

"Perhaps because the goddess will freeze time again. Or... it could be luring the enemy, anticipating that Elf Land's defenses will weaken, allowing the demon army to overrun it."

"Wait, is Gimora intelligent?"

Jackjack shook his head.

The old man, gripping his rapier, sighed as he closed his eyes.

"I've never known a bigger fool than him, aside from myself."

"That's a harsh statement, Johan. No way he's on the same level as you, the one who held back the lady."

"!?"

Behind Jackjack.

In a place that should have been an impassable cliff, a ghostly knight hovered in the moonlight.

"Liora."

"On it!"

Liora had already begun to run.

She clashed her scythe against Gimora's sword, sending sparks flying. Due to his overwhelming attack power, Liora's slender frame was blown away.

She crashed into a tree behind her, barely coming to a stop.

But she remained collapsed on the ground.

Gimora, landing on the hill, cracked his neck and sheathed his sword with a deep sigh.

"Again, Johan? You've always been good at getting girls to protect you."

"... Gimora, it's not too late to come back. Bring the lady back."

"That's over and done. She chose you, and you couldn't save her. That's the end of that story, and the beginning of the tale of the wandering knight Gimora... Man, you're as annoying as ever, Johan."

A fleeting grin crossed Gimora's face beneath his helmet.

"If you make me seriously want to kill you, I might just forget about running away."

A shiver ran down my spine.

It was the same overwhelming feeling I had when I first witnessed a raid boss—a terrifyingly superior enemy.

Jackjack's rapier clashed fiercely with Gimora's sword, too fast for the eye to follow.

Sparks erupted moments later.

Amid the intense swordplay, sweat trickled down the old man's cheek.

It seemed... Jackjack was being pushed back.

But reinforcements soon arrived.

Hilda and Zerotape launched a surprise attack.

"Aqua Fortress!"

"Wind Lance!"

Gimora's lower half was submerged in a wall of water, while wind spears struck his upper body. While the damage wasn't significant, it created a clear opening.

Ribbit looked around at all of us.

Though we may differ in specialties, we all possess considerable skill. Just from those few exchanges, we've identified our weaknesses.

Each of us has likely found a way to defeat Gimora.

The biggest issue is Gimora's tendency to flee...

"The next time we meet, she will probably escape again, despite that we should destroy Gimora."

"You can't escape from God!" Liora declared.

"Indeed, that's what we aim for."

In three days' time—

We decided that the day a large number of players would gather to subdue Gimora would be the decisive day. We'll take advantage and finish the subjugation.

Zephyr has leveled up. Zephyr's Dark Magic has leveled up. Zephyr's Create Dark has leveled up. Zephyr's Dark Aura has leveled up. Zephyr's Regeneration has leveled up. Zephyr's Appraisal has leveled up.

Zephyr's Item Box has leveled up. Liora has leveled up. Liora's Scythe Technique has leveled up. Liora's Moonlight Scythe Technique has leveled up. Liora's Gardening skill has leveled up. Liora's Light Magic has leveled up.

Liora's Light Magic has leveled up. Liora's Solitude Resistance has leveled up. Liora's Kagura has leveled up. Liora's Chant Extension has leveled up. Liora's Angelic Factor has leveled up.

Three in-game days had passed.

In the Catacombs, following the death of the prince, we indulged in leveling up. For Liora, who specializes in Light attributes, this was an ideal place for leveling.

Desecration of the dead is highly recommended.

The main goal was to level up Moonlight Scythe Technique and other Sycthe skills.

Without surpassing the enemy in weapon skills, we can't feel at ease. It seems Gimora, like us, is using some kind of cheat.

In terms of raw totals, Liora's stats exceeded 100 during the battle against Gimora.

Gimora must have some technique that allows them to wield skills above level 100. If we've closed the gap even slightly over these three days, then that's great.

At the same time, we also leveled up the Angelic Factor skill.

Name: Liora

Durability 292, Agility 397

Luck 337

Unique Skill: Killing Blade, Head Hunt.

This is how things stand.

We raised her scythe skills to a total of 136. Gimora's skill level is probably around 200, so we're still numerically lacking... but that's what I'm here for.

That's what spirits are for—two against one.

Moreover, Liora acquired a new art through the Angelic Factor skill, called Angelic Wing II.

Currently, the wing is positioned above and to the left. Now that she also has Angelic Wing I, they form a pair. Balance has been achieved.

This art provides an HP boost buff.

It also has the option to "use" the wings. Doing so makes the wings disappear for a set period, but in return, the effects are extremely powerful.

It's our trump card.

Angelic Wing I, when used, has the effect of "converting critical hits into normal damage for five minutes."

On the other hand, Angelic Wing II has a very unique and interesting effect when used.

I'm looking forward to using it soon.
