Guild Boss's Ambition

There is no fortress in the world that will never fall.

If it were a real battlefield, I have hundreds of tactics in my mind that could trap and paralyze the heavily armored knights.

And now I have a long-handled battle axe in my hand. Compared with her cross sword, my long-handled battle axe has a two-inch longer attack range. In addition, the dual-wielding method without the burden of the tower shield also gives me greater flexibility. Because of the speed of my feet and the flexibility of the weapon, I naturally take the initiative to launch the attack.

I took my time choosing the right moment, but she couldn't.

"Archer of Light, Alpha summons—"

"Bata summons the Archer of Light—"

Preface rejected.

My opponent was a foul Paladin. Not only did he have high attack and defense, but he was also shameless enough to play elemental summoning like a necromancer. As soon as the translucent arrow was summoned by her, he started shooting at me. Although the arrows were not powerful, if she slowly summoned a complete team of archers, this duel would turn into an unfair beating.

I had no choice but to rush forward and interrupt the knight's summoning magic.

Ding dong!

The tower shield blocked my axe blow.

Raftan therefore stopped summoning magic.

The two archers behind her did not disappear, and shot two arrows of light at me.

I was well prepared and hid one side of my body under the protection of Raftan's body. This way I avoided the arrows, but also completely exposed to the attack range of the Holy Cross Greatsword. At this moment, I saw for the first time the true power of this greatsword!

The great sword came straight down at me, and I blocked it with my battle axe in front of me—

Cluck, cluck—

Jiejiejie──

The steel axe groaned in pain under the heavy pressure, and the entire iron stick was bent into an extremely terrifying arc.

Seeing this, I decisively abandoned the weapon that was about to disintegrate, and used the remaining body of the battle axe to absorb the remaining force of the greatsword. At the same time, I rushed forward and hit Raftan's chest with my full strength. She had used the tower shield and the cross sword one after another, and she had lost any means of parrying. In the end, she was hit by me! The whole person fell backwards to the ground like a mountain.

it hurts!

When my body hits the iron block, I'm the one who feels the pain!

But I didn't stop attacking!

Once the attack started, there was no stopping.

attack! attack! attack!

That's my rhythm!

The fallen heavy armored knight was fragile, and I pounced on her body like a leopard in the wild. Because she was still buffering the force of falling, she had no time to force me away with tower shield and cross sword. When our bodies were close to each other, I could deal with my enemy with just two hands. No matter how thick and hard her armor was, she was still a mortal body after all.

I quickly stretched out my legs and wrapped them around her body, trying to give her a wrist cross hold.

But I forgot that there were two troublesome light archers in the distance. They used two arrows to force me to give up this finishing move that could immediately disarm Miss Paladin. However, after finally getting close to her, I couldn't make her get up. I quickly wrapped around her again like a big snake, using my strength and weight to suppress her right hand holding the sword.

"How shameless! How shameless! No knight would fight like you!"

"Don't you feel embarrassed to be twisting around on top of someone like that?"

At the side, the girl Sophie expressed her thoughts loudly, and I was almost vomiting blood because of her. My joint skills were clearly full of combat aesthetics, but why did they become some dirty position when they entered her mouth?

Never mind, just wait till we deal with her sister.

Now, because of the presence of the two light archers, I didn't have much time to launch those milder attacks. In order to kill her with one blow, I pulled out her dagger while locking Raftan's cross sword, and then stabbed her helmet's eyeholes with force. The dagger was thin and long enough to penetrate the eyeball and reach the brain, constituting a fatal blow.

There was a ding.

The venue's automatic defense magic blocked my stab.

"I won—"

"I lost—"

Miss Paladin readily admitted her defeat. She accepted my help, stood up, took off her helmet, revealing her sweaty light blonde hair, and said with a smile, "Miss President's judgment is very accurate. I never expected that you would still have such a high level of combat power after losing your weapon. Your wrestling skills are amazing!"

After receiving the compliment, I felt a little proud of myself and couldn't help but brag about myself: "Hehe! After all, I was the MMA queen for two consecutive years when I was in the military academy! Not to mention a girl of your size, Raftan, even if it's an eight-foot-tall strongman, I can still make them slap the ground with a distorted face and shout surrender──"

She looked puzzled: "MMA?"

"MMA, unlimited fighting, is a leisurely activity for us in the military. It is no less dangerous than real swords and knives, but I think it is more fierce and can help us better understand the human body. Through long-term MMA training, I can quickly determine the position of your center of gravity, and then knock you to the ground with one blow like I did just now."

Hearing this, Raftan's face showed a surprised expression. "Oh my God, I'm ashamed to say that I thought you knocked me down just by chance, but now it sounds like a skillful blow. Oh! I understand now, it was indeed a skillful collision. You took advantage of the incoordination of my center of gravity shifting after swinging the sword to make me fall to the ground."

Yes, it was just as Raftan said. Although I won the match and I thought I played very well, it was embarrassing to hear people praising me all the time. Not only did I blush, but even the girl Sophie who was watching the match next to me started to feel impatient.

The girl walked into the arena, checked her sister's body, and began to complain: "Sister Raftan, how could you lose to this woman so easily! Could it be that you underestimated your opponent because you were attracted by her beauty?"

"No, this time my sister was really defeated by President Ehard with her real strength."

"Nonsense! You are wearing hundreds of tons of iron. How is it possible that you will fall down with just one collision?"

"It's because you're wearing a piece of iron that you're easily knocked down..."

"What kind of perverted logic is that!"

"It's obviously the truth, my dear sister!"

"No! You must have let President Ehard climb on top of you on purpose because she has big breasts!"

"You know I like flat-chested girls, modest ones like you - ouch! It hurts!"

Maybe it was because Raftan had always been very powerful in the past, or maybe it was because the way I defeated her was unreasonable, her sister Sophie was very reluctant to believe her sister's defeat. The look she gave me was no longer as wary as it was at the beginning, but instead it became an indescribable hostility, as if I had defeated the hero in her mind.

But the result is good after all.

At least Miss Raftan, who I defeated, is about to join our guild.

"By the way, Ms. Raftan, what level of combat professional are you?"

Miss Raftan took a break from her sister's angry complaints and said with a smile, "Miss President, I am a paladin who was promoted to the initial stage of platinum level three months ago. I have just given you a rough demonstration of my main specialized skills."

"A platinum-level paladin..."

I was a little surprised in my heart, amazed at the fact that I defeated a platinum-level knight, but when I thought that the opponent was not the type who was good at single combat, and that I won by relying on joint skills, the excitement was quickly suppressed. If I think about it carefully, when I get to the real battlefield, I can't just lie on the ground and play joint skills with the enemy, right?

It is very likely that by the time the cross lock is halfway done, there will already be dozens of horseshoes imprinted on my belly!

So, I still have to practice my spearmanship obediently, and when I can defeat Raftan again with my axemanship alone, that will be my real chance to advance to the platinum level, but──

"When will I be able to achieve the sudden enlightenment that teachers talk about?"

"By the time I figured it out, Bai Ye, that guy who choked on drugs, would have almost become a legend!"

I silently resent Bai Ye...

then……

Bai Ye really appeared in front of me!

Clang--clang!

As soon as she saw the Necromancer appear, the Paladin drew out her cross sword immediately.

"Wait!" I quickly persuaded the two strongest contract adventurers in my guild to stop attacking our teammates!

……

……

15. Villains are usually very powerful, like me (Bai Ye)

(white night)

Zheng──

With good intentions, he gave Lian'er's lost property to Ehad, but he was suddenly attacked with swords for no reason.

I looked at the heavily-armored female knight and cast an Eye of Truth on her.

"Raftan Fritz, Paladin, Platinum Rank."

This paladin was very mysterious. I could only half-read her name through the Eye of Truth. However, her last name of Fritz successfully caught my attention. I glanced at another strange girl standing far away and activated my Eye of Truth again. From this girl, I read more useful information.

"Sir Sophie Fritz, female, 14 years old, human-barbarian hybrid, Black Bronze rank."

The world is really small.

The girl's name exactly matched the name on the parchment in my hand.

I smiled with pleasure at this and held up the parchment to the paladin.

After seeing the parchment, the Paladin touched her chest as if to confirm, and her expression changed drastically.

She sheathed her sword and walked towards him eagerly: "The parchment is ours. Although I don't know how it got into your hands, I hope you can return it to its original owner. Please."

Pawn certificate of territorial sovereignty

Without this important document, the Paladin ladies would probably be very distressed, right?

But I insisted on putting the parchment back into the Bone Spirit Ring, and half-jokingly told her to be anxious: "Because it is really unpleasant to have someone point a sword at you as soon as you enter the door, so I don't want to hand the things over to you so easily. If you want to get your lost property back intact, then you have to agree to one condition of mine first."

Miss Paladin bit her lower lip, held my shoulders, and said forcefully: "I can sincerely apologize to you for my recklessness and rudeness just now, but the parchment is really a very important thing to us, and it is of no use to you. I don't want anyone to take it as a joke, or even use it to threaten us──"

Ah~~

Really evil～～

I smiled and removed the hands of the Paladin on my shoulders, took a half step back, and stated my conditions directly: "My request is actually very simple, that is, I hope you and President Ehard will join forces to fight me. Whether you win or lose, I will immediately return your lost property. In other words, I originally wanted to report the lost property to the Miss President."

When they heard that I wanted to return the lost property, both the Paladin lady and the girl next to her looked much better. At least they no longer had the tense hostility that they had when we first met. She didn't show much doubt about my challenge. After all, it was common for adventurers to learn from each other in combat techniques.

My purpose in issuing this challenge is equally simple.

I simply wanted to give Miss President some more combat experience, and I also wanted to confirm my own abilities.

Because of the existence of Uru and Ebi, my road to independent research and development of immortality is half broken. Now the only route with high expectations is the unknown world outside the human map. Things like the Santu Flute and several other ancient artifacts that Ebi once mentioned are very worth finding and studying. However, to find them, we must undoubtedly explore those unknown areas in depth.

Exploration brings danger, and the way to reduce danger is to gain great power.

So, I recently started working on a project to make myself stronger.

The progress was very good. At least he had passed the exam and was at the platinum level recognized by the alliance.

As the saying goes, knowledge is power. When I used all the results of my past experiments to develop combat magic, my wizard book suddenly had several thousand pages of spells, mainly undead, dark and evil blood magic, and a small part of other magic that I collected randomly. Strictly speaking, I am an all-round magician.

However, I still prefer the title of Necromancer.

Not for any reason, just because it sounds cool.

Of course, physical skills are still my weak point for now, but if magic can no longer provide me with the effect of continuous strengthening, I will not reject learning cold weapons such as swordsmanship. Anyway, as long as I can gain strength, within the scope allowed by Uru, I will be willing to do anything, even if it means making a deal with the cunning devil again!

At this time, the Paladin named Raftan also nodded and accepted my challenge confidently: "Okay - as a reward for helping me find my lost items, I can fight you. But before the game, I must warn you that I am a Paladin of the Light. As a necromancer, if you want to fight two of us alone, I'm afraid you will lose quickly."

Losing quickly?

I couldn't help but laugh at it.

Although I was defeated by Ebisu and Ehard, it was mostly due to my damaged soul. But now that I have recovered, and after a period of careful study, I firmly believe that I can at least exert a combat power dozens of times higher than before. If I must find a combat power evaluation unit...

Ok……

Conservatively speaking, I think I should have the fighting power of forty Guild Masters, right?

The Paladin in front of him was estimated to be as strong as the two Guild Masters.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this competition is a victory for me.

"Don't worry! It's no problem!"

I gently touched my chest and assured her with a smile, "Miss Paladin, I am not on the same level as the ordinary necromancers you know. You will soon be able to see the difference in strength between us. Even if the magic power you sense in yourself is only at the platinum level, when it comes to actual combat, the amount of magic power is actually a very secondary consideration."

After hearing my arrogant declaration, the Paladin's expression suddenly darkened, and a hint of fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

And I naturally did not forget to challenge another senior knight: "Also, President Ehard, although you have always been very talented in fighting, you'd better give up the naive idea that you can easily defeat me like last time. If I were you, I would definitely work harder to become stronger. You may not be able to protect all the people you want to protect."

"What? Protect the people you want to protect? Bai Ye, do you also know about the elves' unusual movements?"

At this time, the president asked me a constructive question. Did she realize the unusual movements inside and outside the city wall in advance like I did? Or did someone else give her a tip?

But anyway...

Given her current weak state, what could she do even if she foresaw the outbreak of a war?

She couldn't even make sure she could survive a war, let alone protect her ancestors' stone house?

I blinked at the poor Miss President and chuckled, saying, "Every spring we may have to face those terrible monsters. At your age, Ehard, you have only experienced the mildest two times hiding in your parents' arms. This year, there is a high probability that a large-scale battle will take place. At that time, Mopolis City will definitely bear the brunt──"
