We have to react, otherwise Toshiko will lose all his Rubys.
In this situation, I am the only one who can do something.
"Naoki stays here, it's better to have someone in the background if we die".
Naoki's eyes looked at me as if to say that we had no chance to survive.
So I ran with my sword towards that cursed witch.
CHAPTER 34
I was in front of The Old Lady of the Devil, but many questions came to my mind. Will I be able to beat her?
I have never fought with a sword at the screen.
Since I got the Dawn Dragon sword, its handling is based on my hours of video game games.
"Take this!"
I swung at her, but she managed to dodge casually.
After several hits, the monster was still facing me.
No matter how hard I tried to hit her, my attacks were unsuccessful.
[The ability
< Of Neutral type> ]
I had failed to free Toshiko and in this case she was going to get all her Rubys absorbed.
That's why I thought of a plan B.
I looked at Toshiko and said these words, "You know what you have to do, I'll give you 1 minute."
It only took her a few seconds to understand.
I will try to stall for that time. I knew she was dodging all my attacks, but I was struggling to assault her with blows. At the same time, I was counting to 60 in my head.
Toshiko looked at me, she was ready.
Just as it looked like I was about to give my opponent yet another blow, I put down my weapons and spoke to her.
"Very well we will give you our Rubys, but before that let me ask you to take some for each of us"
"What do you mean?"
She was still speaking so low, I was struggling to decipher what she was saying.
"For example, you can take 60 Rubys from this girl and then 60 from me and my colleague further down. What you want is Rubys, right? You can have as many as you wanted since we won't be the only humans you see!"
She looked at me and nodded.
It was then that she began to take the Rubys from Toshiko, a few seconds later she stopped and dropped her prey from exhaustion.
"Your turn now."
Now I had to hope that my plan worked. She was about to take possession of my body when suddenly a negative force was felt inside her.
"What... what's happening to me?"
I answered with a hot air: "This is what happens when you are too greedy!"
While I was attacking her, Toshiko was cursing her Rubys. With my "Dream Vision" skill I was able to know that this monster was not an evil type and therefore I could hurt her with negative force the Cursed Rubys!
Moreover, I asked her to take only 60 Rubys from Toshiko, but I knew she would take more, because she thought she was superior to us.
Unfortunately for her, Toshiko had cursed over 120 Rubys which was enough to weaken her.
"You can't have everything in life, you shouldn't be too greedy!"
"How... a mere human... Could have beaten me... In such a... way..."
She was in agony, it was the perfect time to shoot her.
I rushed towards her to slash her with my sword.
This was the end of The Old Lady of the Devil.
"We did it Yume!"
Naoki ran towards us "by killing her, didn't we just give an advantage to the other participants?"
"That's right, you're right, we can't let her die..."
The Old Lady of the Devil wasn't totally dead. Her body was just on the ground and she was breathing roughly.
"That's why I'm leaving it to you Toshiko" I said to her with a smile.
Naoki was the only one who didn't understand
"But what is she going to do?"
"Well, let's say she's going to use one of her faculties".
"Seth, start the judgment of the dead"
