Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~
chapter-443

The Fish S summon had defeated Ramonhamon with [Freeze Cannon].

The other enemies looked nervous having witnessed that.

(Alright, that's one down, now for the main one. I'll get those 100 Levels no matter what.)

Allen had wanted to get a few more of the Demon Great Generals before challenging the Evil God, but there was no other choice now.

Having completed its transformation, the Evil God's Tail stepped forward.

'Gahhhhhhhhh!!'

The enormous monkfish roared like he had no mind of his own as he swung his arms.

No intelligence could be felt from him.

His body had grown hundreds of meters long.

The swing of his arm was so powerful it almost broke the crystal flower apart.

'Why would you turn Master Axilion into such a hideous form? Kyuplas, is this truly what you desired?!'

The Arbiter God made a painful expression, glaring at Kyubel.

'...Yeah. Merely resurrecting him won't change anything.'

Kyubel did not look at the Arbiter God, his eyes focused on the Evil God as he spoke like he knew everything.

(Kyuplas? I haven't heard that name before. Is it Kyubel's true name? And I guess they know each other somehow.)

Everyone could tell that Kyubel and the Arbiter God knew each other.

And that involved the Evil God too.

Allen had been a servant for a noble house, attended the Academy, and traveled as adventurer.

He had never heard the name Kyuplas.

"Let's defeat them before the Evil God goes wild."

Allen's most important objective was to take down the Evil God and obtain 100 Levels.

The divine realm was being kind, and he would gladly accept their help.

'I shall do so! I won't let them close to the cityyy!!'

Allen had told Makris to defeat the Evil God too.

The Evil God could not be allowed to leave the crystal flower's style.

'aAAaaAAaaaaaaaaaa!!'

'Rahhhhhh!'

THUUUUUUUUUMBBBBB!!

The two giants locked eyes and moved towards each other.

They collided with as much power as they had, creating a powerful shockwave and making a loud sound.

Makris opened his mouth wide, sticking to the neck of his enemy that was many times bigger than him.

Creak creak

'AaaaAAAAAaaAAAAAaaaahhhh!!'

The Evil God looked like he was struggling to fend off Makris' attack.

'Bildiga, Basque, stop that!!'

Kyubel was getting distressed, his voice tense as he told Bildiga and Basque to stop Makris.

Bildiga rushed there, swinging his sharp arms at Makris.

Basque's sword also reached Makris, but the blade barely pierced into his tail.

'Hmph! Rahh!!'

Makris swung his enormous tail to swat off Bildiga.

It packed so much power that it seemed like Bildiga had been shot away.

'Ghuh?! This is insane!!'

Taking that hit from Makris' tail made Bildiga annoyed with Makris' power.

Bildiga's metallic shell had many cracks all over it.

(So Demon Great Generals can't put up much of a fight anymore. Though that was obvious when Special Skills were enough to defeat Ramonhamon. So this is the power of S Rank summons, and a supporting one.)

Allen checked his Grimoire to see Makris' stats.

-Makris' current stats:

[Strength] 88088

[Mana] 90090

[Attack] 80530

[Endurance] 117173

[Agility] 68900

[Intelligence] 95870

[Luck] 65000

Thanks to the Spirit King's Blessing, and the many buffs from his allies, as well as his Awakened Skill [Royal Aura], Makris had become powerful enough to fight Demon Great Generals.

Fish summons usually had more supportive roles, and considering the weight of Awakened Skills, it made him quite more powerful.

It was hard to imagine just how powerful a more offensive summon like Insect, Beast, or Dragon would be.

Makris also had one Awakened Skill sealed, so he could become even more powerful.

'Damn you!!'

Basque was also flung away similarly.

Not even the Cursed Sword Onuba helped him do more damage, but he recovered faster than Bildiga thanks to his superior physical abilities.

'You call that a summon? That's essentially a demi-god. I'm going home! I can't stand being in this place any longer. T-teleport!!'

'Giiiii?!'

"W-wait you bastard!!"

Sinorom was intimidated by Makris' power and used his teleportation magic.

The eyeball monster could not stay on its own either, so it followed him.

Doberg's sword that was about to reach Sinorom simply cut through the water.

(So Sinorom got away. At least things are looking good up north.)

Things had changed drastically in northern Patlanta.

They were still focusing on defending, but thanks to Royal Aura their Attack and Intelligence had gone up, so they could take out the enemy more easily while remaining behind the golems and summons.

Even the summons there had been surrounded by glowing bubbles of Royal Guard and Royal Aura. The numerous Insect A and B summons were quickly taking out the enemy.

Buffs did not work on golems, so they remained mainly as shields, though the monsters were turning to ash one after another.

Allen double checked with his Bird E summon, but their victory seemed certain.

[Royal Aura] had been powerful enough to turn the tides of battle.

'Hmph!'

Things had also changed atop the crystal flower.

Makris was not the only one who had become strong enough to fight the Demon Great Generals. The angel with six wings had reached that point as well.

'Ghugh? You're getting cheeky too, huh!!'

Merus' fist dug itself into Basque's stomach.

Makris' [Royal Aura] had also made Merus stronger.

Now Merus could fight against Basque.

-Merus' current stats:

[Strength] 72358

[Mana] 61490

[Attack] 65190

[Endurance] 96249

[Agility] 55900

[Intelligence] 65190

[Luck] 52000

Allen and the rest also joined the fight, with Makris and Merus at the forefront.

"This is weird, I feel like I shouldn't be hitting them so easily, my instincts might end up getting dull like this… Blizzard!"

Cecile cast ice magic.

"Just keep doing that. All your shots should hit."

Bildiga was marked by Makris' [Shooting Star] now.

No matter how much he moved, Cecile's magic powered by Royal Aura would keep hitting.

The same applied to the spirits Sophie used.

Bildiga was essentially driven into a corner.

(So Shooting Star makes all attacks hit no matter what.)

Allen was almost done checking what all of Makris' abilities did.

He was rather impressed by the effect Shooting Star had on Cecile and Sophie.

[Shooting Star's properties]

-Ranged Attacks would always hit the target

-Only applied to one enemy

-The effect lasted for a determinate amount of time

Magic would not always hit its target in this world.

Depending on how long one took to chant, cooldowns, and the enemy's movements, sometimes magic would not reach its target.

Having the guarantee that anything would hit made things much easier.

Cecile did not longer have to worry about aim or timing, instead casting spell after spell.

(Let's defeat all of them while we have the upper hand. I'm sure they've realized their position too.)

While Kyubel still did not join the fight, Allen wanted to get rid of Basque and Bildiga at least.

Bildiga's element had been made weak to ice by Merus too, so he was taking more damage.

Makris' attack, and Kurena's [Energy Dash] had chipped away large chunks of his shell.

If they focused fire on the exposed portions now, they would be able to defeat Bildiga.

'AaaAAAaaAAaaaaaaa!!'

THUUUUMBBBB!!

The Evil God had put his limbs on Makris' head to push him down.

A large crack ran down the crystal flower's style, Makris' head lodged in it.

'This huuuuurtss!! Freeze Cannon!!'

Even with pained and teary eyes, Makris used [Freeze Cannon] from close range.

The attack pierced deep into the Evil God's throat, which looked pained in response.

(Hmm, it's still slow. I don't really want the fight to drag on too much, but I doubt we can change the Evil God's element either. What's his innate element though?)

Speed was key to stop Kyubel's plan.

The longer they took, the more time Kyubel would have to do something else.

Allen wanted to end everything quickly, but Merus was unable to change the Evil God's element.

Basque seemed to have darkness equipment, so it had not worked with him, and the same seemed to apply to the Evil God.

'I want to finish it soon. Try to match your attacks.'

Using the Bird F summon's Special Skill [Transmission], he gave everyone the signal.

One of Allen's strengths was being able to give orders even when everyone fought different enemies.

"Guard Break!!"

'Ghuh?!'

Doberg used Guard Break, stabbing his greatsword into Bildiga's body.

While the shell cracked further, Cecile and Sophie also attacked.

Merle began switching the Stone Slabs in her Magic Board.

Her golem transformed into a large cannon.

Merus, Kurena, Dogora, and Shea, focused on Basque.

All of them attacking at the same time.

(Now, let's see how you handle attacks with no element.)

The golem that transformed into a giant cannon was aimed at Basque by Merle.

Her Magic Board had many long range attack Stone Slabs, but there were many no-element attack ones.

All of them focused their power on Basque, and Allen pulled them out with the Bird A's Awakened Skill [Homing Instinct] so they would not be in danger.

The cannon's attack with no element hit Basque.

'Freeze Cannon!!'

While Bildiga and Basque suffered heavy wounds, the Evil God was still under attack.

The enormous cone of ice hit the Evil God's head, cracking a little, and then the world's hero ran at the Evil God.

"Phoenix Sword!!"

Helmios' Extra Skill [Phoenix Sword] hit the Evil God's forehead.

(I think everyone timed their attacks perfectly. Hm?)

Helmios' orichalcum sword landed on the Evil God's forehead, but it did not pierce.

It was like the sword had been stopped the moment it touched the Evil God.

(A divine element attack didn't do much, and Freeze Cannon didn't freeze him either.)

After piling up buff after buff, Makris' Intelligence had reached 150000, and he had been shooting [Freeze Cannon] at the Evil God for a while.

The Evil God's enormous size was also a factor, but no matter how many ice cones hit him, he had not shown a single frozen spot.

'Heheh. I knew divine attacks would not work after all.'

"What's the meaning of this, Kyubel?"

Kyubel seemed reassured that his strategy was still working out.

'The Evil God has the most powerful element of them all, immortality. It stands above all other elements.'

"Hmhmm."

(Kyubel doesn't call him Axilion like the Arbiter God does. And I've never heard of that element before. Are there really immortal beings then?)

Kyubel's grin was obvious through his mask as he mentioned an element Allen had never heard about in the Academy.

'Huh? Weird, I was expecting a stronger reaction.'

Kyubel had wanted Allen to look more shocked at that revelation.

"Well, Makris' attacks seem to be working somewhat. I'll just keep going until I defeat him."

It seemed like Helmios' Extra Skill [Phoenix Sword] had also been the wrong element.

But Makris' Intelligence made [Freeze Cannon] do considerable damage.

Basque and Bildiga's Strength had gotten quite low from the attack earlier too.

Helmios and Doberg had used their Extra Skills, but they still had plenty of other abilities left.

Allen wanted to at least defeat Basque and Bildiga with his next move.

'Oh my, the new hero has no mercy, I see. To me it looks like you're about to fall though.'

(There's no reason to wait around. I have to move fast.)

'Let's go everyone!!'

Allen spoke through his summon.

Hearing that, everyone charged at Bildiga, Basque, and the Evil God again.

'Nghuh!'

A large volume of Bildiga's body fluids had dispersed into the water.

He had been wounded so much he could no longer stand up properly.

It seemed like Bildiga was going to be the next one to fall.

"Blizzard!!"

Cecile chanted a spell to give Bildiga the finishing blow.

Everything was a sure-fire hit, the spells chasing after Bildiga.

'I see, so that's your answer.'

Bildiga muttered to himself, unable to fight back or defend from Cecile's magic.

Whatever emotion he felt at that moment was impossible to tell from his insect face.

'Hmph!!'

"Huh?"

Someone appeared out of nowhere, completely covering Bildiga from Cecile's attack.

"Who the hell are you!!"

It was not just Bildiga though, someone had also protected Basque.

Dogora yelled as he tried to swing from the side, but it was not just one body stopping him.

5 figures had come out of magic circles and stood in front of Basque, Bildiga, and the Evil God.

'Huh? Why are the Six Fallen Angels here? I thought they were waiting to invade the divine realm.'

Basque seemed to know all of them.

'Bildiga, that's quite an unsightly situation you're in. You're supposed to be a cornerstone of us Six Fallen Angels. Don't bring shame to us now.'

'I'm in your debt, Commander Ordo.'

Bildiga thanked Commander Ordo, who had blocked Cecile's magic with his fist imbued with mana.

(Wait, wasn't Ordo some leader of the Demon King's Army?)

Merus had once told Allen about the structure of the Demon King's Army, and someone considered the Demon King's right hand man.

His name was Ordo, likely a Demon Great General.

He wore a large coat, and had a rather dignified posture with a muscular body.

'So you didn't trust we could handle this on our own, and the Six Fallen Angels were brought for the plan to succeed?'

Kyubel also joined the conversation.

'Hmph, we came for our king. This was the plan all along after all. He might be cautious, but sometimes he'll choose to be bold too.'

It seemed like Commander Ordo was working on something completely different.

Yet another magic circle appeared, and one more figure appeared behind everyone.

The magic circle vanished, leaving behind a man with crimson hair and red eyes.
