Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Vol. 3 - Chapter 157 - Allen Vs. Helmios (2)

Chapter 157

Allen Vs. Helmios (2)

Holding an Orichalcum sword and wearing an Orichalcum armor, Helmios was floating in the air.

The audience gazed at the Hero in the Golden armor floating in the air.

He is the strongest human and the hope of humanity in a world that is about to be destroyed by the Demon King.

It took even my breath away, as if I had just witnessed the existence of a myth.

(He used Recovery Magic, but I wonder how much damage he took. Anyway, I've co to understand his status.)

I finished my analysis of Helmios' status.

Equipnt such as weapons and armor have the effect of increasing [Attack] and [Endurance] respectively. It does not change the status of the person itself.

In addition, accessories such as Power Ring may have the effect of raising the status itself, since the Grimoire shows the effect of increasing status.

Total status of Helmios (Status, Increase by Talental Skills, Equipnt)

Attack 10400 (2400, 3000, 5000)

Endurance 10400 (2400, 3000, 5000)

Agility 8400 (2400, 3000, 3000)

(His status even without anything else is already the highest possible in that category, but he is still fully equipped with the best weapons, armors and accessories. Just how much does he want to win?)

I feel that Orichalcum armor and weapons have the sa effect of increasing status by about 5000.

"Oh, God, that's dangerous.

Helmios shouted in frustration from a position considerably higher than the arena where I was standing.

"What? The match isn't over yet. I can still fight."

"Ha ha. What are you talking about? You can't hit anymore. I can fly pretty fast, you know?"

Helmios was floating quite a bit higher than my B-rank Dragon.

"What are you talking about? I'm just so grateful that you're flying above everyone."

"What?

I smiled and put my right hand in front of .

"Kabeos, [Self-Destruct]."

With my words, 10 E-rank Stones Kabeos appeared in the air at once, surrounding the Hero. Then all at once they turned bright red and exploded.

BOOM

I could hear screams from the audience along with the BOOM caused by the explosion.

I knew that the audience would not be hard, but they probably didn't know that. As long as no one was going to die, I was not going to let up my attack, no matter how much the audience scread.

The second and third year students, who were at a higher level, were completely unaffected by the little blast, and the Knights had started evacuating the Royalty and guests as soon as the Dragon appeared.

I had already decided not to injure the audience by fighting near the center of the 50 ter long and wide arena.

Then, as the smoke blew away, Helmios revealed himself.

"I'm in a lot of pain, you know?"

"I did tell you I was going to beat you up."

(Okay, he used Recovery Magic again. It's safe to assu that this attack also worked.)

I summoned 10 more strengthened Kabeos.

Before Helmios could react, they blew up again.

"Everyone please calm down!"

After I used the [Self-Destruct] technique for the second ti, I heard an announcent made by the magic tool, which was pretty late, to the entire noisy arena. However, the announcent was barely audible due to the people screaming.

(

is very useful. I can't wait to unseal

.)

I watched the explosions and flas and was impressed by the

I unlocked when my

reached Level 7.

Up until now,

,

, and

all took about 0.5 second per use. A summon being ready for battle at a rate of less than 1 second was very fast, but when my

reached higher levels I was able to summon higher ranked summons, that ti kept increasing.

It takes a long ti when I factor in needing to use

and

several tis for one summon if they don't belong to Insect or Beast species. I also need to use

and

on each summon too.

This

skill speeds up my

skills, like

,

,

and

.

Previously, if I had to summon a C-rank Spirit in the middle of a fight , it would take about 10 seconds including

and

, but this has been reduced to almost 0 second now.

It takes 0 second to summon 10 or 20 summons. It probably takes so ti, but that ti is so short that I can't asure it.

All I have to do is imagine how many summons I want and in which state. If I want to store them in the Holder, I can store any number of cards in the Holder instantly.

I feel freed from the ti loss in summoning them.

The only caveat is that the amount of mana consud and the number of magic stones consud remain the sa, so if I don't have enough mana or magic stones, it won't activate.

(This is probably not a Normal Mode skill.)

I am convinced that it is a very capable skill.

is a skill that I got when my

reached Level 7. If I were in Normal Mode, where the Skill Level cap is Level 6, I wouldn't have gotten this skill.

When I reached

Level 7, I gained two new skills.

One is

, which I am now using to attack Helmios. And the other is

, which is sealed and cannot be used.

A ssage appears in the Grimoire when I try to use it.

"Your current Level is not high enough to use this skill."

For the first ti, I got a skill with a level restriction. I am currently Level 55, and according to the ssage, I can't use the skill. I don't know at what Level I will be able to use it.

(Mmm! I knew you'd co at !)

Helmios seed to have decided that keeping his distance from Allen would only make him a target. Helmios was closing in on through the flas. He probably decided keeping his distance from would only make him a target. And as he said, he could freely fly through the air at a considerable speed.

(Okay, it's important for to maintain a certain distance.)

I dodged Helmios' sword strike and backed away a certain distance. I have no reason to fight at close range knowing that the [Self-Destruct] technique works. But that doesn't an I should stay too far away.

"Co out, Kerolin! Disturb the Hero."

"Hiii!! As you wish."

I summoned my cute little B-rank Beast, Kerolin.

Then a Three-headed wolf appeared, rivaling the Dragon in size.

In my previous life, Kerolin was usually referred to as the Gatekeeper of Hell.

"A Cerberus after the Dragon!!!"

Soone in the audience loudly shouted.

Kerolin, the B-rank Beast, used its three heads to close in on Helmios.

(You can go for Kerolin or Dora-Dora. Or you can co for .)

Kerolin only has 1/3rd of Helmio's status.

However, when he gave up on defeating and went after Kerolin I went on the attack instead of running away.

If Helmios distanced himself, I would use [Self-Destruct] on Kabeos.

Even if he defeats the Dragon or Cerebrus, I would imdiately summon another one thanks to

. Thanks to this, it only takes a mont for my status to remain constant.

If both Helmios and I are injured, we can just recover with Recovery Magic or E-rank Grass respectively.

After a while of such fight...

"This is getting us nowhere."

(Oh? Finally?)

"What? You're giving up? Thank you for your hard work."

I'm not looking for a nice fight, so you can surrender to .

"Ha, no way. It ans I'm going to let you decide for the final ti now. If you want to give up, Allen, now is the ti. Or else you might die."

"Don't joke with ."

I didn't surrender. Instead I waved my hands in the air and provoked him more.

(This confirms that his 4th skill is an Attack skill. Okay, go all out. I'll show you that a Hero can be defeated.)

In Normal Mode, you get 6 skills. 2 of them are status-enhancing passive skills, so there are 4 left. Helmios has already used 3 of these skills: Appraisal, Recovery, and Flight.

The other one was definitely an Attack skill.

"Well, it can't be helped then. I'm not going to go easy on you."

Helmios still didn't stop smiling. Then, with a smile on his face, he put all his strength into his sword.

The Golden Orichalcum sword began to glow even brighter. It seed to that sothing trendous was being put into the sword.

I was holding up my sword with two summons on either side of .

Helmios' voice leaked out, " Huh, you won't try to dodge?"

"Phoenix Sword!"

"Okay, now! Dora-Dora! Kerolin!"

"Oh!"

"Ha!"

Helmios accelerated quickly and closed in on .

I quickly retreated and sent Dora-Dora and Kerolin that were standing beside towards him.

"Haha, I figured you'd do that. You can't fool , okay?"

With a single blow by the Golden sword of Helmios, Dora-Dora turned into a glowing bubble.

And Kerolin who tried to attack at that mont was also easily defeated.

Then, in order to prevent being blocked by new summons, he approached at once.

The Orichalcum sword was shining even brighter with his skill active.

It looked like Helmios was about to unleash his full-powered blow.

The arena is only 50 ters long and wide from one end to the other. It was a distance that Helmios, who had over 8,000 [Agility], could cross in an instant. He was able to save Kurena in an instant.

(You fool. You misjudged my summoning speed.)

My

doesn't take any ti at all. It's so fast that I was able to summon a C-rank Stone Tekki behind Kurena and had it use its special skill [Substitute].

If it were a turn-based ga, and I could only launch an attack of mine after receiving his, then I would have lost. But this is a real battle where both sides' ti always flows equally.

If the conditions are t, events such as late rock-paper-scissors can be created.

At the mont when the distance between Helmios and was very little, a summon instantly appeared between us.

It's a B-rank Stone, about 10 ters in size, wearing a full plate of shiny, horn-less material all over its body.

B-rank Stone raises its circular shield in front of and takes on Helmios' skill head on.

Helmios probably judged that I would let B-rank Stone, a summon, that looks good at defending, protect and escape. So, he increased the power of the skill indicated by the increase in the sword's brightness.

The B-rank Stone's shield sparked under Helmios' attack, and the huge shield, which seed to be half the size of its body, cracked with a sound. The cracks extend to the entire body of the shiny full plate. It looked like it was about to shatter into pieces.

I thought that Helmios was a very difficult opponent. That was when it happened.

The light of the skill in his sword faded away.

Then, the sa light that his sword was shimring was coming out of B-rank Stone's shield.

"Well done! Mirror! [Reflection]!"

"..."

Doooh!

As if backfiring from a round shield, the B-rank Stone summon nad Mirror silently repelled all the damage it received.

Helmios was engulfed by the light and impact from the shield.

Helmios was blown away by the impact and was rolling on the arena.
