chapter 342: hunting demon generals

the red hot rock burrowed itself halfway into the ground.

allen and his friends watched as it came to a still.

"lady shea!!"

rath went running to shea when he noticed her.

but she did not pay him any attention, she was more interested in allen's reaction.

his entire group was still in position to attack.

"did we do it?"

the last time they saw him, he was underneath the meteorite, but he was also a formidable foe.

it was hard to tell whether he had died or not.

shea ended up asking allen for confirmation, somehow she felt like he would know for sure.

"i'm checking right now."

allen replied with a plain voice.

cecile stood behind him, peeking at his grimoire.

"he's not dead."

"seems so."

there were no new entries in the grimoire.

"..."

shea figured there was something in front of them that only allen's friends could look at.

(i guess we can't take any chances. i'm afraid of his accessories breaking, but merle, shoot the vulcan cannon.)

allen got rid of a bird f, summoned it again, and used its awakened skill [transmission].

he wanted basque's accessories, but if he had a way to regenerate his health, the entire fight so far would be for naught.

there was the possibility he was laying low and waiting for an opening to attack.

"alright! vulcan cannons engaged!!"

merle was still aboard tam-tam and waiting for orders. she double checked that the sights were still centered on basque's position under the meteorite and opened fire.

the rock began getting chipped away and shattering.

there was still no grimoire entry about basque's defeat even after a while of continuous shooting, so allen decided to approach the meteorite, or at least what was left of it.

"it seems he got away somehow."

allen muttered, unable to think of any other possibility.

"so he can teleport like you?"

"probably. i don't know if it was a skill or one of his accessories, but i guess this means we should've planned for the case he tries escaping too."

"hm."

(i'm so annoyed. he took my accessories and experience.)

kurena looked bothered by the result but allen, who really wanted basque's equipment, was the most frustrated.

this was the first time their prey had managed to get away after they got so close.

"i-i see. what should we do then?"

shea was surprised seeing how disappointed everyone in allen's party looked, even allen's strategy had worked almost perfectly and they had managed to drive off such a powerful enemy.

"well, first of all we know pretty much for sure that those altars are being used for no good, so we'll go around the continent destroying each one of them. and take down the demon generals guarding them while we're at it."

"j-just like that..."

prince zew had told her that allen did not seem to follow common sense, but she had not expected him to be this disconnected from it.

when they told the dark elf elders that they would be fighting the demon general in one day, he came out with his best soldiers to support them.

he wanted to see how the demon general would fall, and he wanted to meet the leader of sophie's party.

first he asked if he was 'the boy who wards off darkness', and allen did not know how to answer.

in the end he settled for simply saying "i'm allen."

king arbus, his generals, and his army of 10'000 soldiers were all looking at allen.

then they looked at merus standing next to him.

"alright sophie, use the spirit king's blessing."

"yes, right away."

'hahah, you're using it right off the bat again.'

the spirit god rosen began shaking his hips as he cast the spirit king's blessing on them.

"cecile, it's your turn. are you ready?"

"i am. small meteorite!!"

cecile rode on a bird b summon and looked at her target.

she pointed her palm towards the oasis that had mysteriously sprouted a few decades before, and the city of luqoack built next to it.

she adjusted her aim further to center on the temple in the city, where the demon general was.

the streak of light was emanating from that same building.

with that done, she cast [small meteorite].

cecile was wearing makris' sacred bead, and was buffed further by sophie's spirit king's blessing, giving her a ridiculous amount of mana.

"""ohhh!!"""

the dark elves raised their voices, and their bodies began trembling seeing what was unfolding in front of them.

a large rock, more than a hundred meters wide, fell down from the sky while glowing red hot.

the enormous meteorite fell dead onto the oasis city, crushing the entire temple and the buildings around it.

luqoack had been the source of all the evil plaguing the desert now, so they decided to get rid of the entire city.

many weeks had passed since the disaster occurred, but just in case the wraith a summon and merus had gone to check for survivors the night before, not finding a single living soul.

"so? did that do it?"

the bird b summon cecile was riding landed softly.

"just wait a moment. oh, ohhhh!! i've leveled up!"

'you've defeated one demon general. you've reached level 85. strength +100. mana +160. attack +56. endurance +56. agility +104. intelligence +160. luck +104. kingship has been unsealed.'

allen had only used his fish c summon's special skill and awakened skill, and the bird b summon to help attack from a higher point, but that was enough for him to gain experience the way he wanted.

a demon general had been defeated, so rather than getting a fixed amount of experience, he leveled up instantly.

this also helped prove that if cecile killed a monster while riding on allen's bird b summon, he would get experience as well.

it was similar to something merle had mentioned before, about dwarves that rode inside golems and gained experience without having to do anything.

"let me see. wait, kingship was unsealed."

"you're right! he can use kingship now!!"

cecile and kurena celebrated allen's unsealed skill like it was their own.

"""..."""

while king arbus and princess shea, as well as their respective soldiers watched in confusion, allen's party celebrated something completely different than the defeat of the demon general.

they could not comprehend what was going on.

that way three demon generals were defeated, while basque ran away. the four light streaks and the altars that caused them were destroyed by allen's party.
