Bab 27: Any man dies with a clean weapon, I'll rape his fucking corpse!
After he gave an Oblivion Blade of Nulgath without it affecting his weapon slots from the Summon Weapons, he looked in front of the town, and saw Darkness standing a bit too forward, with a sigh, he went towards her and started to tell her to go back, but she refused.
Alex: Hey Darkness. I'm telling you this for your own good, so retreat for now. I know how tough your defense is, but this is still pushing it. It wouldn't do any good for you to stand here. Just let go of your useless fetish and wait at the side of the road, all right?
Darkness: Alex… I've always acted this way, so it's only natural for you to think so… But do you really think I'm a woman who would be lost in my own desires even in such an emergency?
Alex: Yes.
Darkness paused for a moment, and then continued calmly with a slightly blushed face.
Darkness: ...I'm a Crusader. And aside from that, I have other reasons compelling me to protect this town. I might share that reason with you one of these days. I can't explain now, but I have an obligation to protect the citizens of this town.
The townsfolk might not think so, but I believe it to be so. Hence, no matter how reckless this might be, I won't take a simple step away from this position.
Alex stood silent, before he let out a bitter smile and patted her shoulder while facing the town, the opposite direction from what Darkness was facing.
Alex: You really are stubborn sometimes.
Darkness: ...Do you dislike stubborn companions?
Alex raised an eyebrow from her sudden hesitant tone, but answered anyway.
Alex: It depends, if it's Aqua and her ideas, then yes. But your stubbornness right now isn't bad.
Darkness: ...I see.
Alex: Just don't turn crippled, we still need your abnormal defense, I can defend myself because I am a high-leveled adventurer, but you are still really durable even if you still have a level lower than 20, if you reached my same level you will certainly surpass me.
Darkness: Thanks, leader.
Then Alex summoned a Overfiend Blade of Nulgath and headed towards his position, next to him, there was a tense Megumin.
Alex: I couldn't convince her. To protect that rock headed pervert, we need to complete our assigned tasks.
Megumin: I-I-I understand…! I-I must do my best! I… I-I-I'll definitely succeed…!
Alex: Relax. If things turn bad, I'll drag her away by myself.
Alex looked around, Aqua and Wiz were squatted on the other side of the intercept zone, chatting about something. Beside them, there were adventurers holding blunt weapons such as war hammers, with Mitsurugi and the Oblivion Blade of Nulgath standing in front of them all.
The archers had nocked arrows with a hook at the head and rope tied to the end. They were ready to shoot ropes onto the fortress if there was a need to go in. And then, a broadcast was heard throughout the whole plain.
"Attention all adventurers, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is about to appear before us. Citizens, please evacuate the town! Adventurers, please get ready for battle!"
Alex looked at the front, and saw its head looming behind the hills in the distance. It was light, but the earth was also shaking.
It was really large, probably at the size of 1/4 of Axel, and it was fast too… Alex was calm though, since the most important members of this operation was Alex's party, the responsibility to command the entire operation was given to him.
The guild's staff even gave him a voice-amplifying magic item to help him to issue commands.
The Destroyer was a gigantic golem with the appearance of a spider. The top of the Destroyer was as smooth as an aircraft carrier, with a fortress-like structure on top like the residence of a hermit crab. The sides of the torso were equipped with cannons.
Alex: Aqua! Do it!
Finally the Destroyer reached the intercept zone.
Aqua: Sacred Break Spell!
Complicated magic formations floated around Aqua and a white ball appeared in her hands. Aqua aimed the ball in her hand toward the Destroyer and shot it out.
When the flying ball of light touched the Destroyer, a giant membrane appeared on its surface to resist the ball of light. But it shattered into pieces like glass shards.
Alex: Wiz, Megumin! Take out the legs on your side!
After issuing that order, he summoned 10 Evolved Shadow Spears of Nulgath, 5 at Wiz's side and 5 at Megumin's side. After seeing Megumin shaking nervously, he gritted his teeth and said.
Alex: Hey Megumin, you keep talking about Explosion this, Explosion that. It would be ugly if you lost to Wiz. Is your Explosion a joke spell that can't even blow that thing up?
Megumin: What… What did you say?!
The corner of her mouth started cramping from anger and she stood up, then she concentrated and chanted her spell.
Alex, Wiz, and Megumin fired their strongest offensive spells.
Megumin/Wiz: Explosion!
The two of them and the shadow spears reached the targets at the same time, breaking all the legs of the mobile fortress.
Having suddenly lost its legs, the mobile fortress crashed into the ground with a big bang. And its bottom part hit the plains, it slid toward the town with its forward momentum. But it stopped right before Darkness who was standing at the very forefront.
The gigantic body of the Destroyer remained silent, while the adventurers gasped in awe. But Alex had a bad feeling that something would happen… This was too easy, it can't end just like that, he watched enough anime and movies to know something will happen…
Suddenly…
"This machine has stopped operation. This machine has stopped operation. Unable to expend unused energy and vent heat. Operators, please evacuate from the machine. This machine has…"
Alex: Fuck it entered the self-destruction phase! I knew something would happen!
Everyone despaired when they heard him, but something was keeping them firm, especially the male adventurers…
Adventurer 1: ...I want to attack.
Adventurer 2: ...Me too. I remembered the reason why I stayed in this novice town despite being over level 30.
Alex let out a bitter smile and said to the loudspeaker.
Alex: That shop has been taking care of us with its low prices, if we don't repay them back now, there won't be a next time! Those in favor of infiltrating the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, raise your hands!
All the adventurers raised their hands without hesitation. The archers pulled their bows and shot their hook-arrows onto the Destroyer.
Alex: CHARGE!!!
And thus, every single adventurer, like a big group of bandits, screamed and flowed into the fortress while Alex summoned an Overfiend Blade of Nulgath to use it to reach the fortress too, but Aqua tugged on his sleeve.
Aqua: Wahh… Alex, I'm a bit afraid of that group of people… From the looks of things, it should be enough to leave everything to them. Let's go back, all right? We'll return for now, and work hard from tomorrow onwards.
Alex Fuck it! You come with me!
Alex pulled Aqua who kept screaming in surprise, and both of them flew to the fortress.
Alex: Darkness, your armour is too heavy, remove some pieces if you want to climb up! Megumin, continue to rest! Wi, act according to your own judgement! Everyone! Any man dies with a clean weapon, I'll rape his fucking corpse!
After getting up on the deck, what they saw were most of the smaller combat golems already destroyed. No matter how one looks at this, it seems as if they were the invaders.
Adventurer 1: A big one's heading your way!
Alex turned around, and saw a large and bulky combat golem, but Alex used the greatsword he already summoned to smash it to dust.
After that, the adventurers successfully bashed the door of the building and rushed inside. Soon, they reached the deepest arts of the building and found a group congregating before a room, all of them looked troubled.
Keith: Oh, Alex, you came at the right time… Look at that.
Alex looked in front of him and found… The skeletal remains of a human. The researcher who took over the fortress was already dead… He noticed something in a messy table, it was a notebook, Alex picked it up and read it.
XX Month X Day.
The higher ups of the country gave me a tough problem, asking me to create a mobile weapon. Impossible. They wouldn't listen to my protests, and ignored my apologies and requests. I wanted to resign, but they wouldn't accept my resignation letter.
I pretended to be retarded, streaking around in my underwear, but the female researchers simply asked me to take off my underwear too. This nation is going to end…
XX Month X Day.
The deadline for the design is today. What should I do? I couldn't just submit a blank paper. Why did I start drinking out of desperation and spend all the funds away? As I was feeling frustrated staring at the blank design plans, a spider, something I absolutely hate, showed up on the paper.
I screamed shrilly and picked something up to smash it. The spider is now stained onto the design paper… The economy is bad, and high-quality paper like this is expensive; I don't have the money to compensate for it. Screw it, I'll just submit this.
Alex: What the…?
XX Month X Day.
That design was unexpectedly well liked. I don't dare to tell them "That was the goo that spurted out when I squashed a spider, why are you touching it?". And is it fine for the project to carry on like this? What should I do? The only thing I did was kill a spider, and they made me the director. Yahoo!
XX Month X Day.
I didn't do anything and the weapon is still taking shape. I'm not needed at all, right? Whatever, just do what you want, I just want to live my life leisurely… When they came to ask me about the power source, I couldn't be bothered.
I said from the start that it was impossible, if you want a power source then get me that super rare legendary ore rumored to be able to burn for eternity, the Coronatite, or I rebuked them. That felt great! Bring it to me if you can.
XX Month X Day.
They actually brought it to me. What should I do? They really did it. They're even placing it in the power reactor, what should I do? What the hell should I do? I only said it because I thought it was impossible, and they actually did it. What if it doesn't move?
What would happen to me? Death penalty? If it doesn't move, will I be sentenced to death? You have to move, please.
XX Month X Day.
They said the activation test would be tomorrow, but to be honest, I didn't do anything. The only thing I did was squash a spider. This'll be the last day I can sit on this chair so leisurely… I start feeling mad when I think about it. Forget it, I'll just drink.
This is my last supper, so I won't hold back! There wasn't anyone left in the machine today, so it won't matter how much I drink or how drunk I get, I'll start drinking the most expensive wine!
XX Month X Day.
When I woke up, I felt a strong tremor. What's happening? How much did I drink? I don't remember anything. No, I don't remember anything about yesterday at all. The only parts I remember was heading to the central zone and lecturing the Coronatite.
No, wait. After that, I said I wanted to test its courage and flicked the lighted cigarette onto the ore…
XX Month X Day.
I finally realized what was happening; I'm doomed. The mobile weapon is running amok right now. What should I do? They would certainly think it was my doing, so I'm probably a wanted criminal right now. They wouldn't forgive me even if I cried and begged…
How irritating… They would probably destroy the mobile weapon, drag me out and execute me. Damn the king and the officials, and that female researcher who smirked after taking off my underwear, they're all scum! It's fine for such a country to fall.
Enough, I'll just drink and sleep. Fortunately, the food and wine are plentiful, I'll think about this after I wake up.
XX Month X Day.
The nation has fallen. Oh no, it has fallen, it's really gone! The citizens and high officials have all fled. But I destroyed my home country. Oh no, this feels great! I'm satisfied, I have no regrets.
All right, I've decided. I'll live out the rest of my life in this machine, I can't alight or stop it anyway. The one who made this thing must be retarded… Oh wait! The one in charge of creating this thing was me!
Alex: What the fuck!?
