Chapter 202.1. The War Is Coming To An End
Aegir fled, and the bonus event ended, leaving Mii-chan feeling down. However, she quickly regains her composure and turns her attention to her allies.
It’s a relief she didn’t engage in direct combat with Aegir. He’s much stronger solo without summoning his legion.
So, it was fortunate that he escaped.
He mentioned running out of mana, so there might have been a chance to defeat him.
But for now, let’s put Aegir aside and focus on Yamiyo’s situation.
From within the forest, new monsters have emerged, engaging in fierce battles with Yamiyo and the others.
They include Forest Bears with four arms, Hellhounds with two heads, and Forest Gorillas with fur resembling wire.
They seem stronger and have higher levels than earlier monsters.
They must be elite monsters, numbering around 300.
After analyzing their strength, the average level seems to be around 30.
Furthermore, 3 Hill Giants approached from behind.
They’re the main enemy.
As for the combat helicopters, the Royal Guards engaged in aerial battles.
They seem evenly matched, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
Mii-chan isn’t surprised the elite Royal Guards can hold their own against the combat helicopters.
“It’s turning into a chaotic battle. I guess I can’t use Diamond Breath in this situation…”
Kongo-neesan and the old man party led by old man Martini are desperately fighting, with armored vehicles unleashing machine gun fire and magic projectiles.
While observing everyone’s movements, Sena uses recovery magic to tend to the heavily injured allies.
Nimue shoots water serpents at locations where the defense line seems to be breaking, taking down enemies, and providing support.
She assists old man Martini’s party.
Despite being vastly outnumbered and evenly matched in levels, my allies hold their ground.
The monsters’ lack of coordination is their weak point, and my allies suppressed them somehow.
Now, what should Mii-chan do?
Because Mii-chan couldn’t use area attacks, she contemplates providing rear support, just like Sena.
However, as she ponders, a confident voice catches her attention.
“Seeing injustice and not acting is the same as lacking courage. I happened to pass by and rushed here, recognizing the crisis!”
Because she hears a crow’s caw, and Mii-chan analyzes the person who spoke.
-Outomo Sourin: Level 51, equipped with the large-scale magic armor Iron Armor Type 11, weak against Lightning-
Mii-chan saw a man wearing Iron Armor Type 11, a large-scale magic armor that resembles a motorboat with limbs.
Behind him, others wearing magic armor soar through the sky.
It’s Count Outomo and his group.
Oh, right, they were here.
Seeing them wearing outdated large magic armor, evokes melancholy.
Moreover, since they get integrated with the ship’s bow, it seems highly likely that they will get hit by enemy attacks.
Just by sheer coincidence, it’s absurd for them to wear such cumbersome, heavy magic armor.
Although Mii-chan and the others give him a bewildered look, the firepower of the outdated large magic armor is still formidable.
Count Outomo, positioned on the bow of the large magic armor as if he’s casually sitting, tilts his body and activates the thrusters, closing in on the combat helicopters.
“You sly devil! Let this Outomo Sourin take care of you!”
[Window Wave Missile]
When the shoulder part of the large magic armor opens, it launches a round crystal ball. The crystal ball heads toward the enemy helicopter and generates multiple magic circles before reaching it.
As the magic circles shine and explode, they create countless wind blades, slicing through nearby combat helicopters’ armor.
While the combat helicopters crashed, I could hear an unpleasant metal-warping sound.
“You scoundrel! How’s Count Outomo’s power?
Wearing motorboat-like magic armor, Count Outomo unsheathes a long sword attached to the hull and swings it forcefully.
“Take this! Sword of Justice!”
[Blade Vanisher]
The blade becomes red-hot, turning crimson, and Count Outomo rotates the armor, bringing it alongside the next combat helicopter.
He thrusts the sword, passing through it with great momentum. With a screeching sound, the combat helicopter, its body severely sliced, spirals down and crashes.
A combat helicopter flying near Count Outomo turns around, aiming its machine guns and firing at him.
Sounds of gunfire fill the air as bullets assail Count Ootomo, who doesn’t even attempt to evade. But, before the bullets make contact, multiple layers of magic barriers formed by honeycomb structures materialize, intercepting them all.
“Hmph, this Iron Armor Type 11 is equipped with the [Dragon Scale Magic Barrier]. It seems no ordinary attack can leave a scratch!”
With a triumphant expression, Count Otomo laughs and fully activates his armor thrusters, ascending rapidly. Then, he opens the top part of the armor, revealing a cluster of missiles installed within.
“These are the ultimate missiles. Take this!”
[Flare Dust]
The cluster of missiles is launched, leaving exhaust trails as they head toward the surrounding combat helicopters.
Upon impacting the helicopter, the homing missiles maintain their magic circles at the tips.
Explosions ensue as intense flames engulf the combat helicopters, destroying the magical barriers and melting the armor.
Despite burning, the combat helicopters attempt to regain their stability, but Count Outomo’s subordinates drive their swords into them, shooting them down.
Impressive. Even though the large magic armor is outdated, it’s still quite strong. It underwent some modifications.
The reason it’s an outdated model is to avoid attention during acquisition.
If they obtained the latest model, suspicions would follow.
And now I understand why Count Outomo is so confident in this operation.
It’s money. The cost of those large magic armors is substantial. It’s not a small amount of money. It’s a fortune.
Having developed an interest after witnessing the Iron Spider’s performance, I researched magic armor prices.
Count Outomo fired missiles that damaged the combat helicopters but didn’t shoot them down.
Based on that, the estimated missile level is around 30. It must cost about 200 million yen per missile.
It’s the same for other magic armors as well. In that time, Count Outomo spent over 5 billion yen.
It’s one of the reasons large magic armors aren’t popular. They’re exorbitantly expensive.
Those missiles are probably fixed at level 30 since magic armors are limited by their fixed magical power.
