Chapter 135.1. The Enemy’s Trump Card

“What do you think? Will you be able to defeat an army this large?”

Gerðr moves backward. She believes she has the upper hand. She realizes that the small fry can’t beat her.

I look behind me and see that Odin has finished petrifying the 9 brain-treants. Odin was indeed a master at this. He was completely unscathed.

We, equipped with our magic armor, were no match for the inferior fighters stalling for time.

Odin and Frigg’s armor was the weak stuff sold in stores at level 40 in the game. Sorry, I don’t have the materials.

So I’m using mithril and such, but the performance is a drop compared to the dedicated machines. Still, the performance is far better than the clothes I’ve been wearing. I’ve also turned on the equipment effects. Since they’re a strong enemy, we decided to bluff them with the equipment.

“All going to attack at once!”

Gerðr, with a fluorescent manicure painted on her fingernails, waved her hand quickly in a desperate gesture.

“………”

The army treants without vocal cords silently kick the ivy and walk over, pushing aside the debris.

Staggering about, they look like zombies. They release their monstrous strength and the poisonous pollen from their bodies. That’s all the army treants have to offer. They’re small fry that the boss can only use as a wall. They’re only to be defeated.

After giving the order, Gerðr rushed to the Evil Tree of Life and slid her body into the trunk, which was made up of twisted trees.

If I wanted to catch up, I could. In that case, I would resist with the offensive magical tools I had on hand.

If I did that, what I was doing now would be pointless. The enemy had scattered the small fry all over the place.

“Army treants. Crush them!”

The army torrents kicked the ground following Gerðr’s instructions. Army treants, with their monstrous strength, stepped hard and came bouncing toward them, gouging the ground.

The sight of a thousand monsters all coming at once was terrifying. Moreover, the army treants are full of monsters that bring fear, including one with a human face growing out of the center of a bloody, poisonous flower, and another that stares at us with its bare eyeballs, with only its brain and eyeballs in the intertwined branches of a tree.

“They’re worse in quality than zombies. Well, running zombies are all the rage.”

Muttering, Miu’s face shows neither fear nor dread. Her eyes are cold, showing mechanical emotionlessness, and her mouth is sarcastically crooked in a small smile.

I calmly observe army treant, with both hands on a tree branch. 5 of them spread out from in front of me, left and right, and 3 enemies who fly high and tried to hit me. Behind me, army treants continued to pour in.

“I’ll show you that even hordes of zombies are useless against Ninja.”

[Ground Shrink]

Miu’s body disappears before army treants touch Miu’s body.

Miu’s body becomes lighter than a feather, faster than the wind, and passes by army treants.

Leaving a slight impact on the ground, I move through the enemy’s movements, which are slow and sluggish, as if time has stopped. Miu ran through a world of super-speed where no one could catch up with me.

A gust of wind rushed through the army treants, sewing a small gap between the onrushing monsters without leaving even an afterimage.

With her toes to the ground softly and her feet tapping on the ground, Miu was far behind, her gray hair flowing.

The army treants would have felt only the wind caressing their bodies. The horde of a thousand scurried around and searched for the object as it disappeared, but then Miu had already run past.

The [Ground Shrink] is a ninjutsu skill that increases your speed by 200% for three turns after use and greatly increases your evasion rate. I am using it for the first time, but I know what it can do.

I thought I knew it. When I use this skill, I can avoid most attacks. It’s the same evasion rate as Stray Poyopoyo.

“I knew about the ability, but this is what happens in real life?”

I can run through the ground as if it had shifted. The enemy’s movements have stopped, and my body is too light. It’s as if the world were a cyborg using an accelerator.

Already, the evil tree of life is in front of me. I can see Gerðr being taken in by the trunk.

“Chiiiiiii! How fast!”

Gerðr is upset by the unexpected speed, and her face contorts as she pours her mana into evil tree of life. The red mana is transmitted like blood to the branches of the evil tree of life, and the trunk begins to tremble.

She’s about to take her final form. In the game, when Gerðr gets damaged to some extent, she fuses with evil tree of life and changes into her final form.

[Evil Arc Change]

Gerðr uses her trump card magic. Evil tree of life pulls her roots out of the ground and detaches the tree branches and ivy that covered the area. Cracks appear in the ground, and the trees around them break and fall.

“Kuhahaha! This is my final technique Evil Arc! It sucks people’s life force, infinite endurance, and overwhelming ah, magical power. There is only death for you now!”

Gerðr, smiling broadly, lifts her huge body fused with evil arc. The ivy and tree branches covered the ceiling and fell, rustling, crushing some army treants.

It must be a hundred meters high. Evil arc becomes a giant humanoid, and Gerðr’s upper body is pulled out from the heart of her torso.

Its oddly shaped wings are made of tangled tree branches, its legs have spread roots and do not exist, and the countless ivy and tree branches that grow from its torso slither about like snakes.

Gerðr’s loud laughter echoes around the area as she raises her claw-like hands and fully fuses into evil arc. The evil arc’s body glowed red, and its aura spread to the ground, transforming the world that was dominated by darkness into a world of eerily pulsating red light.

“Ah! Loki, I’m going to nourish you too!”

Evil Arc roared.

Maybe the warriors’ guards watching the forest can see evil arc and might be in big trouble, I sigh, ignoring Gerðr and turning back around.

“Odin! Diamond Dragon!”

“Roger that.”

Odin releases his cypress spear and thrusts his hands forward in a complicated motion. Magical power resides in his hands, sending purple electricity rushing through them.

“Let me show you the grand mage’s magic.”

[Summons Diamond Dragon]

The one-eyed grand mage held his hands to the heavens and used his summoning magic. A huge magic circle was drawn in the star-filled sky, creating beautiful characters with intricate and exquisite geometric patterns.
