Chapter 42 – Holy Spear Gungnir
I light up the ‘torch’ Alfred gave me. With this, visibility is good. Before, I couldn’t calmly analyze the inside of the cave, but now that there are no boss monsters around, I can investigate with peace of mind.
It seems that the cave is really like a proper cave and it seemed to be deep. The Grimbrusti didn’t seem to have a nest, just using it as a sleeping place.
“I wanted to ask you this before. Havamar, what other skills do you have?”
“My housework skill is ‘Sewing’. Attack skill is ‘Spear’ or something like that.”
“That’s it! What do you mean by spear?”
“Well, it can’t be helped. let’s call it a reveal.”
Raising her right hand, Havamar summoned a ‘Spear’. … Wait, she can summon it? Moreover, what is that divine spear?
It glowed white and emitting a light intensity that made torches unnecessary. With this, there’s no need for a torch!
“This is the ‘Holy Spear Gungnir’. A sacred treasure that is woven and embodied by my magical power. Although it is despised as a ‘demonic spear’ in the world.”
My little sister let out a deep sigh.
Wait, what part of it is ‘demonic’?
It’s shining so brightly.
However, this is an amazing light. It shines golden, and has a huge amount of energy wrapped around it like lightning.
“That looks really amazing. Can’t you show me the details?”
“I can’t show you that yet. But I will reveal it eventually.”
“Promise me.”
“Okay.”
Uh… why is she nodding her head in such a strange and honest way? Well, she said she’ll tell me one day, so there’s no need to force her to tell me.
While we were talking, a suspicious presence was approaching from inside the cave. This must be a monster.
“Havamar, be on high alert.”
“Understood. I’ll follow big brother’s instructions.”
I grip my Gale Tulle tightly.
I stared into the darkness.
Now… what will come out?
“――Giiiii!!”
Wow, what’s with that screeching sound? It’s an amazing cry… and I smell a strong monster scent. Is it another boss monster?
As I prepare myself, a small monster with red eyes comes out from the depths. It looks like a small person…? It was the size of a child but it’s holding a big sword-like weapon.
“That looks strong.”
“Big brother, that’s a Death-type monster called “Executioner”. It only inhabits high-difficulty dungeons. It’s dangerous.”
“De-death type!? What is that?”
“Most likely, this cave is connected to a dungeon somewhere. It’s safe to assume that it came from there.”
So it’s lost and ended up coming out here. A formidable enemy monster. This is bad!! Can I defeat it?
When I was worried, the Executioner with a big sword comes towards me. It’s fast…! Its speed is extraordinary. He came at me like the wind and swung that big sword. T-This is…!
“Ugh! It’s heavy!!”
I try to block it with Gale Tulle, but it’s so heavy. My hands are tingling and numb, and I feel like it might be taken away from me at any moment.
“Big brother!!”
“Don’t worry, Havamar. I can defend myself somehow, but the enemy’s attack is too heavy! It’s because of that bstrd sword!”
“That sword is also an “Executioner”, big brother.”
“What!?”
An Executioner holding the weapon Executioner?!? Anyway, I have to defeat it somehow.
