A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 336: Hero and Scout (1)

Hero party.

They are now the representatives of the goddess who were chosen by the goddess, the opponents of the devil, and the hope of mankind.

– Kwaaaaang!!

I was running away with all my might.

"Run a little more!"

"I said just a little bit! How long do I have to run?!"

"If you don't like it, get crushed by that!"

"One more shot is coming!"

-Whoa... !

Just by hearing the sound, something scary flew heavily through the wind.

"Huh!"

Gaidon, the tank that was following the party at the back, jumped up with enthusiasm and blocked the flying object with his shield.

– Kwaang!!

The object that collided with Gaidon with a roar was a huge rock.

A huge rock that can easily weigh several tons.

Normally, it would have been natural for it to be destroyed rather than blocked, but Gaidon, a tank, did an excellent job blocking it with his shield.

At the same time, he even used the impact to launch himself in the opposite direction from which the rock came.

That direction was the direction the party was fleeing.

"Gaidon! Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. Silphiere. "It's just a little tingling in my arm."

"It's not throbbing, it's broken! Bertie!"

"Are you okay. "If I get hit one more time, it would be really dangerous."

"Ugh... "Once you escape, you will receive treatment right away!"

Even while talking, the hero party did not stop running.

After that, rocks flew in a few more times, but fortunately the aim was not correct and everyone was safe.

"There is!"

"Get in quickly!"

When they finally arrived at their destination, they threw themselves into the circle drawn on the floor without a moment of hesitation.

When Gaidon, who was guarding the rear of the party, entered the circle again, the inside of the circle began to glow and draw a magic circle.

"Quickly, quickly!"

Disposable teleportation magic circle.

It was a magic circle set up just in case. I never thought I would really use it.

When the magic circle gradually began to glow, a huge shape began to appear beyond the magic circle.

The figure, as large as an ogre, was made entirely of rock. It was a being commonly called a golem.

"Rockmel... !"

The hero, Serena, gritted her teeth and muttered as if she were indignant.

That giant golem was the one who defeated the hero party.

Demon King's Army Executive, Rockmel.

He was characterized by a huge body and powerful physical attacks that made use of his rock-like body.

But that alone would not be enough to be called an executive.

The most characteristic and most absurd thing about Rockmel was that the rock that was his body regenerated.

And that too in an instant, like a troll.

If you look at the chunk of rock that fell from the body, it looks like an ordinary stone, but it is continuously regenerated in Rockmel's body.

Since it's just a rock, no matter how much you cut it, it doesn't produce a single drop of blood, and fire, which is generally considered a troll's weakness, doesn't work either.

Fortunately, it seems to retain the basic characteristic of a golem, which is that it is destroyed by breaking only the core, but Rockmel knows this, so he strictly protected the rock corresponding to the body.

In the end, the hero party was unable to break through the defense and regeneration and had to run away like this.

As Rockmel's appearance got closer, the party members also became a little more anxious.

It is impossible to go from the inside to the outside after activating the disposable teleportation magic circle, but on the contrary, it is possible to go from the outside to the inside.

In other words, it meant that if a long-distance attack was made from outside, it would have to be dealt unilaterally.

Rockmel finally reached the front of the magic circle and lifted a nearby rock...

"It's done!"

As soon as a voice filled with relief burst out, the hero party disappeared.

"..."

Rockmel looked at the spot where the hero party disappeared for a while, then dropped the rock he had lifted and returned to its original position.

◆

– Let's take a break first.

As soon as we returned to a safe place through the teleportation magic circle, no one objected to what anyone said.

After dispersing to their respective rooms and taking a break, the hero party gathered together.

It was to establish measures against Rockmel.

"Why are there all these guys? "Isn't it a foul?"

The archer, Silpierre, was the first to open his mouth.

It was just a simple complaint that wasn't particularly productive, but it was enough to brighten the mood of her place.

"The things I prepared were useless."

The hero party's scout, Lev, also sighed.

I already knew that Rockmel's characteristic was her regenerative power. Because the executives of the Demon King's Army were famous enough to match their status.

Of course, before taking on the challenge, she brought a bunch of stuff to prepare for it.

A cursed dagger that hinders the regeneration of the body, a flame enchantment that burns the cut edge, a strong acid that continuously remains in place and melts, etc.

The terrible thing about the situation was that the prepared items were not effective.

Rather, it was a problem because it was effective.

Even though it was effective, it was not helpful because Rockmel's regenerative power was beyond imagination.

If it didn't work, I would have found another method that would work. Now I was at a loss as to what method to use.

"Whew. "Can't we just avoid it and not deal with it?"

Such an opinion was also raised, but it was soon rejected.

"No. If you can't use that road, you'll probably have to go around for a month."

"Yes? "I knew."

Lev sank down on the table, saying he was just saying it once.

It wasn't very polite, but no one pointed it out. Because we all felt the same way.

After that, various opinions emerged.

Let's attack until the limit of regenerative power is reached. Let's tie it so that it cannot move even if it is played. Since the golem is also a stone, wouldn't an earth wizard be able to control it?

There were a variety of stories, ranging from plausible to absurd, but there was no such thing as a sharp answer.

In the end, there was only one way left.

"I guess I'll have no choice but to blow it away with one blow..."

There was a moment of silence as Healer Berti mentioned the method on behalf of everyone.

Defeat it in one go.

It was the simplest and surest way to kill monsters with regenerative abilities, including trolls, which are synonymous with regenerative abilities.

Not everyone in the hero party knew that either.

The question is 'how' to do it.

When you think of firepower, the first thing that comes to mind is a wizard, but there was no wizard in the hero party.

The empire would support him if he just asked, but Rockmel was also an official in the Demon King's army, so it would be difficult for a decent wizard to even make a dent in him.

"Excuse me. You know what Serena did earlier. How did you do that? Wouldn't it be okay to attack with that?"

Silpierre asked.

The blow that Serena delivered during today's battle with Rockmel.

The blow broke through Rockmel's defenses and left a large wound on her torso, so much so that Rockmel was taken aback and went on the defensive for a moment.

"That... It is impossible to use it continuously."

However, Serena gave a negative answer.

That blow was a blow that used all the energy stored in Serena's ability, "Emotional Battery."

It would have been the best result if Rockmel could have been defeated with that single blow, but unfortunately it failed.

"I see~ Then I guess I'll have to find another way."

Silpierre, like Lev, was stretched out on the table.

"Hey. "It's reaching my arm, so move it away."

"I was like this first?"

The two immediately started bickering, but compared to usual, it was less intense.

There was no need to think about the reason.

"..."

Serena was worried about a moment.

The energy I expended this time was the positive emotional energy I had gathered while eating delicious food and staying in nice accommodations.

She would recover just by living an equally comfortable life, but she was not relaxed enough to wait for her energy to build up.

Then... She had to find another way to get more emotional energy faster.

And Serena knew how.

'I am... Warrior. I have a duty to defeat the devil.'

Serena bit her lip slightly.

Although it wasn't her intention, she had no choice but to fulfill her duty as a warrior.

Serena 'blindly' chose to do her duty. It's not her intention, but she can't help it.

"Everyone is so tired today that I don't think I can come up with any good ideas. Let's take a good rest and think again tomorrow."

"Okay... Is that so? Well, even though I rested, I still feel a little heavy."

Everyone who agreed with Serena's words began to disperse to take a break.

Before everyone dispersed, Serena called Gaidon and Lev.

"Would you two please come to my room together later? "I have something to say."

"Ok? Okay." "Okay."

The two, who had no particular reason to refuse, nodded their heads calmly.

"What. Lev. Are you finally hearing something? "I knew you would do that someday."

"It's noisy, Sylphy. Gaidon was also called that. "Are you stupid?"

"What? Who calls who an idiot?"

They were just two people bickering like always.

Serena, who looked at her with a slight smile, went up to her room first to get ready.

◆

– Knock.

"Come in."

After hearing Serena's answer, Lev and Gaidon opened the door and came in.

"Excuse me... What. "It's not much different from my room."

Lev, who came in with a face full of expectations, was blatantly disappointed.

"Is there any reason to be different? "You all stayed in the same room."

"Gaidon, it's because you don't know. Have you seen Silpierre's room? Do it like a girl..."

– Mate.

Serena's applause cut off Lev's words, which seemed to continue endlessly if left as is.

"Greatness. Sorry. "I came because Serena called me."

"That's right. It did. What's going on?"

Gaidon and Lev's gaze turned to Serena.

"Hmm..."

Serena couldn't make eye contact for a moment and muttered slightly.

This was unusual for Serena, who was always calm and confident.

When Lev and Gaidon began to question Serena's attitude, she found it difficult to open her mouth.

"Me, me..." ."

And then she took a moment to catch her breath.

"Hug me."

I barely managed to spit it out to the end.
