Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 157: Astaroth Battle

As Astaroth and the Astaroth Dragon approach the intercepting point, Astaroth points her finger out and a flash of black light hits the interception point. The intercept point explodes in a huge explosion.

After eliminating the trap, Astaroth and the Astaroth Dragon were about to attack Tristan and the others, when their progress was blocked by a thread. It was a wire trap using Aranea's hard thread.

As they were caught in the trap, Kitsuneko and Luna used an illusion.

This is the strategy I had in mind. If it's aiming for a trap with its eyes, you'll have to trick its eyes. As a result, Astaroth fell into the trap beautifully. She tried to break it by force, but there were many hard threads fixed to the large trees that we and the farmers had grown with Grow. It was not so easy to break.

And Astaroth, entangled in the threads, stopped moving.

"Ruin-san, now!"

Understood

----------Second Base----------

In the second base, where several catapults have been set up, Ruin-san gets a call from Takuto and orders Yug-san to attack.

"Yug!"

"I've got the order to attack! Everyone! Light the fire!"

The producers, who acquired fire magic through cooking, set fire to the huge rocks wrapped in wool. Wool is a highly flammable material, so the huge rocks burst into flames. Yuuna-san and Haru-san tell Yug-san on behalf of the group.

""Ready!""

"Understood! Now, let's show the boss the horror of being a producer! Catapults, fire!"

For some reason, all the male players shouted their own names and said Here we go!, and then they let go of the string and huge burning rocks flew towards the boss.

"What are you doing..."

"It can't be helped? It's tradition for Japanese boys to say this when using a catapult"

"That's an electromagnetic catapult!"

A catapult is a catapult!

Ruin-san was puzzled by the insistence of the male producers.

"All right, let's get ready for the next one!"

"Report! All catapults hit! Astaroth and the Astaroth Dragon have fallen to the ground! All players have begun their assault!"

"We're on target...and we're going to score some points here!"

Oo!

The morale of the producers was very high and they immediately began to prepare for the second shot.

----------Intercept point----------

At the site where Astaroth and Astaroth Dragon had crashed, the players launched an all-out attack.

"Archer Corps, all members, unleash!"

"Mage Corps, all members, unleash!"

Countless arrows and countless spells rained down on the fallen Astaroth and Astaroth Dragon.

"Now! Everyone! Charge!"

"Mofumofu Corps, charge!"

"Let's go! You guys! Let's get some points!"

"Everyone, charge!

Mel and the other short-range classes attacked at once, and the beast unit led by Tyrol and the tame monster unit led by Retsuku all bit the boss under the direction of their respective summoners and beastmasters.

I also gave orders to Gray and the others and with Gray as the leader, Kotetsu, Chess, Gale, Byakuya, Yuuga, Sabik, Kitsuneko, Airy, Route, Seguro and Rex attacked.

Chess and Seguro were here because no one could keep up with Ion's speed. Rook seems to be busy directing the goblins.

Chiffon and the others are also participating, but they were thinking back to the catapult attack earlier.

"That was a scary moment..."

"Se...isnt it. I'm sure Takuto and Ruin-san didn't think about the rocks after they hit the boss"

The rocks that hit the boss naturally shattered and fell, towards them below. The attack on the players will be nullified, but the sight of a huge rock falling towards you will shorten your life.

"I'll definitely complain about this at school after the holidays"

"That's right. By the way..."

Chiffon turns her gaze. There are male players flocking to Astaroth...or more precisely, what they are aiming for.

"Astaroth-san's boobs are mine!"

"No, it's mine!"

"I'll be the first!"

Ill do it! Uoooo!!

What they are aiming for is Astaroth's chest. They are calling out obscene words and making beeping noises here and there. It had become a chaotic battlefield. Of course, Arleigh was in the middle of it.

But this game would not allow that. Their feet sank into Astaroth's body before they could reach her chest. They desperately shouted for help, but there was no one to help them.

"...That Arleigh guy is a death sentence in real life too"

"'Yeah...is there no excuse for quicksand?"

The death penalty for the dream seekers was quietly decided.

While the players were having fun, I was watching the battle from a distance when Tristan-san came back with Liqueur.

"Thanks for the mission"

"Thanks to you...Liqueur-chan, you've been a great help. Give him a lot of praise"

It's true that everyone has worked hard so far, including you, Liqueur. I have to give you a reward.

"Thank you for your hard work, Liqueur. I heard you worked hard. I'll prepare a proper reward for you later, so for now, take a good night's rest"

Liqueur's eyes seemed to light up. Well, I'll be sure to live up to his expectations. Then the girls asked if I had a reward for themselves.

I say of course, but when I tell them that the reward will depend on the outcome of the final battle, they all light up.

"It looks hard"

Tristan-san laughed at me as she said that. I'm used to it now...

Then a change came on the battlefield.

Astaroth's eyes glowed suspiciously and she tore off the hard thread with force.

"The wire!? Everyone! Get back!"

"Everybody, get back!"

"Get out of here! Returning to death is a negative!"

Players and summoners are rushing to escape.

"We'll cover your retreat! All members, ready! Release!"

"'We'll hit it with magic after the bow! Now! Fire!"

They attack with a wave of bows and arrows and magic, but Astaroth only looks annoyed.

However, I also received a report from Ruin-san that the catapult is ready. I ask Tristan-san to signal that the catapult is ready. Tristan-san shoots an arrow into the sky.

"That's the signal for the catapult! Lets buy them some time to fire! Everyone, keep firing as long as you can!"

"Same here! We'll shoot as many as we can to buy some time!"

Understood!

Yoichi-san and Rekka's troops successfully bought time. And then the second catapult shot comes in.

But Astaroth Dragon inhaled and unleashed a dragon breath that is synonymous with dragons.

A reddish-brown flash of light hits the flying rocks and explodes in midair.

"What crazy firepower..."

"It's too cheat..."

The players stopped dead in their tracks at the sight.

In the midst of this, Ruin-san, who is in the second base, immediately makes a decision.

"Everyone, abandon the base and retreat! This place will be targeted soon! Hurry up!"

Ye, Yes!

While the producers are withdrawing, at the intercepting point, Astaroth raises one hand to the heavens and a huge magic circle is drawn in the sky.

"Great magic! Run!"

While the players were in a panic, Al-san remained calm.

"Sound Bat Squad! Jamming!"

The Sound Bats generated ultrasonic waves to interfere with the activation of the great magic.

Astaroth saw this and targeted the Sound Bats.

But Astaroth was hit by a rock that flew at her with great force.

Although she didn't fall, Astaroth glared at the culprit. In front of Astaroth's gaze, there was Kurogane holding a huge rock.

I've never used it before, but Kurogane can throw things with Throwing.

And before Kurogane could throw another shot, a ray of light shot out from Astaroth's fingers toward Kurogane.

But that ray hits the light shield. Kurogane was the first to be targeted when Robot was here. I've already taken care of the beam!

Kurogane throws another rock at her. But the Astaroth Dragon rises up and destroys the rock with its claws.

"Tsk! It's in the way. That dragon"

Kurogane's rocks are out of stock. Then we'll have to fight in close quarters!

Kurogane starts walking towards Astaroth. Astaroth points her finger at Kurogane.

However, something falls from the sky to such Astaroth. It was slime.

"Air strike was successful! Chick Commander!"

"You did it! Chick Commander!"

"Not my idea, though..."

This idea was realized at the ardent request of some male players. The strategy itself is effective because it doesn't make sense if the slimes don't stick together, but the picture is terrible.

When Astaroth shouted, red lightning ran from Astaroth's body and the Slime Unit was wiped out.

Yeah...it's natural to be angry, right?

Then Astaroth's aim turns to Kurogane again, but her aim is forcibly changed. It's Mangetsu-san and the others.

"She's coming!"

Come!

Astaroth signaled to the Astaroth Dragon and the Astaroth Dragon screamed, took on a reddish-brown aura and rushed at Mangetsu-san and the others!

"Don't back down! We have a new technique! We'll give him back our impact!"

Ou!

Astaroth Dragon's thrust hit the shields of Mangetsu-sans party.

"Now!"

Counter Impact!

The impact of Astaroth Dragon's thrust is returned to the Astaroth Dragon. The Astaroth Dragon, having been hit by the impact of its own thrust, flipped over and Astaroth who was riding it also fell.

"Now, degozaru! It's all yours! Ninpo, the art of sticky thread!"

There is no such ninpo. It's just sticky threads made by Aranea and applied to Astaroth.

Aranea and the other spiders and caterpillars join in.

They try to restrain her again with the threads, but Astaroth just looks annoyed. I'm not sure if the threads will work.

"This is the way to go, everyone, degozaru!"

Yes!

Hokages party makes symbolic signs with their fingers.

"Let's go! Ninpo, Fire Escape Technique!"

"Ninpo, Water Escape Technique!"

"Ninpo, Earth Escape Technique!"

"Ninpo. Lightning Escape Technique!"

"Ninpo, Wind Escape Technique!"

From Hokage, something like a lit match comes out of his mouth. Kazekage emits a gentle breeze, Tsuchikage emits a pebble, Mizukage emits a drop of water and Raikage emits static electricity.

...... Eh?

The players who had gathered to attack Astaroth again, the thieves who were there and even the summoned beasts and tame monsters stopped moving and silence flowed.

What? That weak ninjutsu just now...is ninjutsu like that?

Astaroth punches the Tsuchikage.

Tsuchikage~!!!

It was a bad idea to give Astaroth time. Astaroth tries to get up again.

"Woon!"

In order not to do so, Gray roars and upsets Astaroth's balance, but Gray is caught by Astaroth.

However, Gray strengthens his defense with Iron Wall, claws Astaroth with his indomitable Fighting Spirit, bites her and resists to the end.

Kotetsu and the others also rush towards the Astaroth Dragon. But Gray is knocked to the ground and knocked down. Astaroth cries out again and red lightning strikes Kotetsu and the others.

Tyrol and the others gave the order to retreat, but Kotetsus group continued to bite until the end. It was as if they were trying to answer the unyielding fighting spirit that Gray had shown them.

In order not to waste the time that Gray and the others had earned, Kurogane challenged Astaroth to a fight, but Kurogane's fist was stopped by Astaroth and his fist was crushed. In addition, the Astaroth Dragon's powerful tail strike hit Kurogane and he was blown away and knocked down. He was blown to pieces.

"Not good! I don't think we can attack anymore!"

"It's a shame, but it can't be helped. Let's all retreat!"

Mel and Mangetsu decide to retreat. I also return to the old lake with Return. I have to live up to the resolve of Gray and the others.

While the players were running away, Konoha and the others attacked Astaroth from the sky under the direction of Al-san.

In response, Astaroth unleashes the Astaroth Dragon's Dragon Breath on Konoha and the others. Some damage was done, but Konoha and the others avoided it and hit Astaroth in the face with the objects they were grabbing.

Astaroth's face then bursts into flames. What Konoha and the others were carrying was oil made by the alchemists through alchemy. It wasn't oil or gasoline, it was just oil, not even edible, but they had used the piece of cloth I had given them to make a molotov cocktail.

Astaroth's face was burned and she was furious. She held up her hands and black light gathered on Astaroth, creating a black ball of light.

Then it was released. Countless flashes of darkness attacked the flying summoned beasts.

Konoha and the others tried desperately to avoid them, but the black flashes tracked them and Konoha, Hiyori, Himari and the others were struck by the black flashes and knocked down. Still, they avoided it and attacked with feather throwing and wind magic.

The black flashes also rained down on the catapult, ripping the base to shreds. However, thanks to Ruin-san's judgment, no players were harmed.

After the attack subsided, lightning struck Astaroth. The lightning was fired by me on the raft.

Astaroth and we confront each other.

This is how our final battle for this event began.
