Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

Chapter 157

chapter 157

holding an orichalcum sword and wearing an orichalcum armor, helmios was floating in the air.

the audience gazed at the hero in the golden armor floating in the air.

he is the strongest human and the hope of humanity in a world that is about to be destroyed by the demon king.

it took even my breath away, as if i had just witnessed the existence of a myth.

(he used recovery magic, but i wonder how much damage he took. anyway, i’ve come to understand his status.)

i finished my analysis of helmios’ status.

equipment such as weapons and armor have the effect of increasing [attack] and [endurance] respectively. it does not change the status of the person itself.

in addition, accessories such as power ring may have the effect of raising the status itself, since the grimoire shows the effect of increasing status.

total status of helmios (status, increase by talental skills, equipment)

attack 10400 (2400, 3000, 5000)

endurance 10400 (2400, 3000, 5000)

agility 8400 (2400, 3000, 3000)

(his status even without anything else is already the highest possible in that category, but he is still fully equipped with the best weapons, armors and accessories. just how much does he want to win?)

i feel that orichalcum armor and weapons have the same effect of increasing status by about 5000.

“oh, god, that’s dangerous.

helmios shouted in frustration from a position considerably higher than the arena where i was standing.

“what? the match isn’t over yet. i can still fight.”

“ha ha. what are you talking about? you can’t hit me anymore. i can fly pretty fast, you know?”

helmios was floating quite a bit higher than my b-rank dragon.

“what are you talking about? i’m just so grateful that you’re flying above everyone.”

“what?

i smiled and put my right hand in front of me.

“kabeos, [self-destruct].”

with my words, 10 e-rank stones kabeos appeared in the air at once, surrounding the hero. then all at once they turned bright red and exploded.

boom

i could hear screams from the audience along with the boom caused by the explosion.

i knew that the audience would not be harmed, but they probably didn’t know that. as long as no one was going to die, i was not going to let up my attack, no matter how much the audience screamed.

the second and third year students, who were at a higher level, were completely unaffected by the little blast, and the knights had started evacuating the royalty and guests as soon as the dragon appeared.

i had already decided not to injure the audience by fighting near the center of the 50 meter long and wide arena.

then, as the smoke blew away, helmios revealed himself.

“i’m in a lot of pain, you know?”

“i did tell you i was going to beat you up.”

(okay, he used recovery magic again. it’s safe to assume that this attack also worked.)

i summoned 10 more strengthened kabeos.

before helmios could react, they blew up again.

“everyone please calm down!”

after i used the [self-destruct] technique for the second time, i heard an announcement made by the magic tool, which was pretty late, to the entire noisy arena. however, the announcement was barely audible due to the people screaming.

( is very useful. i can’t wait to unseal .)

i watched the explosions and flames and was impressed by the i unlocked when my reached level 7.

up until now, , , and all took about 0.5 second per use. a summon being ready for battle at a rate of less than 1 second was very fast, but when my reached higher levels i was able to summon higher ranked summons, that time kept increasing.

i didn’t surrender. instead i waved my hands in the air and provoked him more.

(this confirms that his 4th skill is an attack skill. okay, go all out. i’ll show you that a hero can be defeated.)

in normal mode, you get 6 skills. 2 of them are status-enhancing passive skills, so there are 4 left. helmios has already used 3 of these skills: appraisal, recovery, and flight.

the other one was definitely an attack skill.

“well, it can’t be helped then. i’m not going to go easy on you.”

helmios still didn’t stop smiling. then, with a smile on his face, he put all his strength into his sword.

the golden orichalcum sword began to glow even brighter. it seemed to me that something tremendous was being put into the sword.

i was holding up my sword with two summons on either side of me.

helmios’ voice leaked out, ” huh, you won’t try to dodge?”

“phoenix sword!”

“okay, now! dora-dora! kerolin!”

“oh!”

“ha!”

helmios accelerated quickly and closed in on me.

i quickly retreated and sent dora-dora and kerolin that were standing beside me towards him.

“haha, i figured you’d do that. you can’t fool me, okay?”

with a single blow by the golden sword of helmios, dora-dora turned into a glowing bubble.

and kerolin who tried to attack at that moment was also easily defeated.

then, in order to prevent being blocked by new summons, he approached me at once.

the orichalcum sword was shining even brighter with his skill active.

it looked like helmios was about to unleash his full-powered blow.

the arena is only 50 meters long and wide from one end to the other. it was a distance that helmios, who had over 8,000 [agility], could cross in an instant. he was able to save kurena in an instant.

(you fool. you misjudged my summoning speed.)

my doesn’t take any time at all. it’s so fast that i was able to summon a c-rank stone tekki behind kurena and had it use its special skill [substitute].

if it were a turn-based game, and i could only launch an attack of mine after receiving his, then i would have lost. but this is a real battle where both sides’ time always flows equally.

if the conditions are met, events such as late rock-paper-scissors can be created.

at the moment when the distance between helmios and me was very little, a summon instantly appeared between us.

it’s a b-rank stone, about 10 meters in size, wearing a full plate of shiny, horn-less material all over its body.

b-rank stone raises its circular shield in front of me and takes on helmios’ skill head on.

helmios probably judged that i would let b-rank stone, a summon, that looks good at defending, protect me and escape. so, he increased the power of the skill indicated by the increase in the sword’s brightness.

the b-rank stone’s shield sparked under helmios’ attack, and the huge shield, which seemed to be half the size of its body, cracked with a sound. the cracks extend to the entire body of the shiny full plate. it looked like it was about to shatter into pieces.

i thought that helmios was a very difficult opponent. that was when it happened.

the light of the skill in his sword faded away.

then, the same light that his sword was shimmering was coming out of b-rank stone’s shield.

“well done! mirror! [reflection]!”

“...”

doooh!

as if backfiring from a round shield, the b-rank stone summon named mirror silently repelled all the damage it received.

helmios was engulfed by the light and impact from the shield.

helmios was blown away by the impact and was rolling on the arena.
