chapter 98: madegarsh (3)
with only one day left until we reach grandver, an eagle discovers a magical beast approaching towards us.
(ah! madegarsh. it is coming straight at us.)
the distance between us was only a few kilometers or so. we were pretty close.
(what should i do? will i be able to escape? i’m much faster than i was three years ago.)
i pondered about what i should do. if possible, i would like to escape without fighting because of the situation.
i think about whether i could escape from it or not.
(it’s been about three years since i last saw madegarsh. i am much higher leveled and faster now, but i’m carrying cecile on my back.)
with dagraha out of sight, i don’t know where he’ll come from. i don’t want to take any chances.
“what’s wrong?”
i don’t seem to be very good at poker faces or maybe cecile’s intuition was sharp. she noticed something was strange about me.
“we’re being chased by the madegarsh.”
“what?”
i told her that the madegarsh is currently a few kilometers away and was running straight at us.
“it’s tough to be pursued by two parties in this situation, so i think it’s better to defeat madegarsh and move on.”
i think that i can defeat madegarsh even in this situation, so i want to defeat it and then move on.
“what? you can defeat madegarsh?”
“i think i can do it. it’s not my first time.”
i have already verified madegarsh strength roughly three years ago.
“all right then.”
cecile knew that i was strong and thought that i would be able to defeat madegarsh.
a few minutes later, madegarsh was right in front of me and cecile was staring at us from a considerable distance.
(all right, cecile is safe. i should defeat this madegarsh quickly.)
“aaaaaaahhhh!”
the five-meter tall magical beast with a face like a mangy dog, an upper body made to look like a human, and a lower body of a wolf was right in front of me. the beast, which had lost one of its eyes, was grinning, as if it was happy to see me after a long time.
“hey, doggie, i don’t have much time. so, i will defeat you at once.”
i declared an instant kill to madegarsh and summoned 20 bears around it. they began to attack madegarsh at once.
my strategy was quite simple. i was going to use the same method i used to defeat the orc king and the queen armored ant.
(spyder’s [spider thread] is still not effective, i don’t see any speed reduction. i can’t let it kill all my bears in vain. brons, hold it down.)
using my experience when i fought against b-rank magical beasts, the orc king and queen armored ant, i summoned four d-rank stone brons to hold it down from all sides. this way, it is easier for the attacks to hit and the bears won’t die unnecessarily.
“aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!”
the water from madegarsh’s eyes splashed around and it screamed in pain.
(okay, i’ve crushed both of its eyes now. and)
as i twisted my arm further, i thrusted my dagger deeper into it’s eye until my whole arm went in. even so, i didn’t stop putting strength into it.
“what’s the matter? doggie, put some pressure on your mouth or i’m going to kill you!”
madegarsh was in a painful situation, but it didn’t spit me out.
madegarsh put pressure on its chin and tried to stop me.
“i am getting harder and harder, aren’t i? you didn’t kill me soon enough, now you’re gonna die.”
i was using
madegarsh used both of its hands to try to constrict me but i didn’t react to it and continued to push further into its eyeball.
in the midst of the attack and defense, i made 48 stone d-rank cards that increased my [strength] and [endurance] by 20, raising my [strength] to nearly 2000 and my [endurance] to nearly 1500.
“look, doggie, status doesn’t lie.”
i don’t know the status of madegarsh, it was unable to defeat bron with a single blow. from that, i determined that its [attack] was not as high as 2000 or 3000.
i decided that taking [grass of life] would be enough to stop it in that condition. i had prepared hundreds of [grass of life] when we were resting while running. i prepared them for dagraha.
i checked my own stamina in the status column of my grimoire, and used [grass of life] at the right time.
my dagger had already hit the bone at the base of madegarsh’s eye and was slowly digging in. even though the tip of the dagger stopped when it hit the bone, i continued to apply force. the bone in the base of its eye began to crack.
and...
“aaaaaaahhh!”
the bone at the bottom of its eye cracked, and my dagger reached its brain. madegarsh let out its loudest yell and collapsed on the ground. it spat me out, convulsing but eventually stopped moving.
“you have defeated one madegarsh. you have acquired 82,000 experience points.”
“hmm, an unquestionable winner. though my lower half is sticky.”
“allen!”
cecile came running up to me to check if i’m okay.
“now, what shall we do?”
“what? oh...”
dagraha appeared in front of me and cecile at this moment. cecile noticed dagraha’s presence.
“haha, i finally found you...!!!”
(mmm, he’s really angry.)
dagraha was so angry that his voice trailed off.
