How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

"No, Hill was trying to put her on her brother's waist, but she accidentally slipped down."

There was no hint of apology in Hill's expression; instead, there was a mischievous grin about him.

Are you sure this was an accident?

--------

The corridor on the third floor.

A large hole has appeared in the outer wall facing the plaza; this was created by the BOSS, Hellfire Dragon Skeleton, who forcibly flew out and blasted it open.

Hill and Sirocco stood at the hole, feeling the cool air and looking down at the view of the square.

"So, my brother used that monster-gathering N11 potion on them, making them run away from the monsters?"

"Yes. You've seen the power of that potion. It easily triggers linked aggro from monsters, and even the BOSS will lock aggro onto them. The effect is a bit beyond my expectations."

“Hill knows! This is called PULL (pull monsters), right? Gathering a bunch of monsters... Hmm, no, that's not right. Gathering monsters is for eliminating enemies, so it should be called MPK (luring monsters to kill).”

I had initially thought that Hill would feel some sympathy as a human being seeing these people being chased by monsters, but my sister treated them completely like NPCs in a game, and I couldn't see a trace of pity on her face.

...Well, I'm not in a position to say that's who she is.

The square is bustling with activity now.

Hellfire Dragon Bones, Oak Golems, Skeleton Soldiers, and other monsters they hadn't encountered before were all chasing after a single target. Adofa and Adimor, being Lv20, had managed to survive quite well and were acting as the engine, with a massive horde of monsters following behind.

From this distance, we can't see their expressions clearly, but judging from their postures, they've reached the kind of panicked state you see in comedic animations, where the characters seem to want to sprout a dozen legs.

Thanks to the sheer number of monsters, they would occasionally trip over themselves, and the Hellfire Dragon skeletons would also unleash their breath on the monsters that flipped over, creating a dark green sea of ​​fire. This gave Adofa and Adimor a chance to catch their breath and recover.

“Hill found it amusing to see them being destroyed by the monster, but that doesn’t mean we can get out. We can’t leave this giant cage without defeating the BOSS.”

"So I'm waiting for an opportunity."

"An opportunity? Does my brother have some torturous idea this time?"

"What torturing? I'm not a sadist. Hill, from now on, my back... no, my life is in your hands."

"Wha, what do you mean?"

"I told you before about the ."

Shilock stood with his feet a certain distance apart, his back straight, his left hand bent inward at a 90° angle and rested on his right elbow, his right hand straight forward with his fingers spread.

The view through my fingers, aimed at the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton in the plaza.

"Is it that skill that lets my brother dye his hair with one click? But... can it really defeat the BOSS? This move must put a lot of strain on my brother's body..."

"I have no choice but to take this gamble. I believe this move was once able to penetrate multiple floors. The downside is that it has a long recovery time and a long charging time. After using it, I may be weak and powerless, or even unconscious... At that time, I will need you to protect me."

Whether it's good luck or bad luck, the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton can unleash lasers with its breath from afar, and use powerful attacks like its claws and tail sweeps up close.

Unfortunately, it was enormous, unlike the small and agile humanoid monsters, making it an excellent target.

Furthermore, its attention was focused on Adofa and Adimor, revealing its weaknesses.

We can use ranged high-damage skills again, the only problem is—

I can only launch one attack.

If the deflection misses the Hellfire Dragon's weak point—its core between its ribs—and fails to destroy it in one strike, both Hill and I will be in danger.

Adofa and Adimor won't last long. Once they're torn apart, the BOSS and the minions will naturally turn their attention to me and Hill.

Therefore, timing is very important.

Sirocco stared at the two exhausted men in the square.

Hill noticed that Sirocco was more serious than usual, so he stood quietly to the side, touching his shield, and stopped making any witty remarks.

During his escape, Adormo's left leg was smashed by the oak golem, leaving him lying in a pool of blood. Adormo ran even faster.

"Goo ...

Seeing this, the Hellfire Dragon Corpse stomped on and crushed Adimor's body, the splattered flesh and blood fragments blooming like flowers.

Only Adofa remained.

The Hellfire Dragon's skeleton soared high into the air, hovering there, preparing to unleash its strongest breath attack.

This is the opportunity!

"Pure black—"

A spinning black sphere appeared in the palm of his right hand, and the moment it appeared, Sirocco felt an unbearable urge to act.

Compared to the first time, its expansion speed is much faster.

In the blink of an eye, the small ball swelled into a ball the size of Sirocco, and the scenery also distorted and folded.

"Brother! Concentrate, Hill won't let any monster touch your butt!"

You touched my butt on purpose, didn't you?

Sirocco did not refute this, his gaze fixed on the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton.

Its head did not turn this way, but looked down at Adofa, who had tripped and fallen to the ground, his face full of terror.

"—Annihilation Ray!"

Ah...that feels so good.

The moment it was shot, there was a transcendent feeling of having my mind completely blank.

A thick, black line streaked across the sky from the third floor of the castle, its end striking the remains of the Hellfire Dragon, torrents of dark energy pouring down upon it.

"Gurgle! — Awooooo!!"

The jet-black beam of light distorted the air along its path. The Hellfire Dragon skeleton was bathed in this energy, and the jet-black zigzags that it scattered out pulverized any monsters it touched.

"This is... my brother's skill..."

Witnessing the devastating, raw energy emanating from his brother's frail body up close sent a shiver down Hill's spine, his palms sweating as if he were playing a video game with intense tension.

The Hellfire Dragon's skeleton struggled to turn its head towards Sirocco, who had ambushed it.

The flames flickered in the enemy's eyes, and Sirocco seemed to see the astonishment of the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton, followed by rage.

"Gan!"

As expected of Lv35, not so easy to die.

Compared to the first time, Sirocco consciously gripped the ground with both feet to prevent himself from being carried away by the recoil, but he still felt his body floating slightly backward.

"elder brother!"

Boom-!

A hard, firm touch pressed against my back.

Hill, with his back against Sirocco, suppressed the recoil and barely managed to stop after Sirocco had retreated about 10 centimeters.

"Gaa ...

The roar of the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton even shook the monster army beneath its feet, causing them to stagger and fall.

It tilted its body back, enduring the "Pure Black Annihilation Ray," with a green and white orb of light in its mouth.

Breath attack, a ranged attack, is brewing.

We must eliminate it quickly!

In a pure magic-based attack, my magic output is definitely inferior to the BOSS's!

The "Pure Black Annihilation Ray" is beyond the control of its own power, squeezing every last drop of magic from Sirocco's body.

The hair tie snapped due to the force, and the long, dark hair fell loose, white hair spreading from the roots and turning the black hair pure white.

I could taste the metallic flavor in my mouth, and some liquid was flowing from my nose.

The more he used his skills, the colder his arms became; he was afraid he would turn into an ice pop.

He concentrated all his thoughts, trying his best to force the dark light toward the hellfire dragon skeleton.

It's ok.

Take them all!

If you can defeat the BOSS and allow Hill to leave here in time for dinner at home, take everything that can be converted into your power, whether it's magic or physical strength!

The huge, thick, jet-black beam of light seemed to have grown a little larger, and the beam of light pouring into the Hellfire Dragon's skeleton was advancing little by little.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The head of the Hellfire Dragon was pressed down by this stronger, more powerful, and more domineering force, causing its long spine to tilt and blocking its breath attack.

call out--

A small, dark green energy sphere, exhaling breath, flew toward Sirocco in a parabolic trajectory.

One thing was still missing!

Even now, it is impossible to stop the for defense.

If we stop now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain.

"AT position, deploy!"
