The Expelled Bottom-tier Job [Thief] Excels with Gaming Knowledge. Even the Teacher Summoned Together Had an Unconventional Job, but They Both Efficiently Rise to the Top - Chapter 40

Amber, The Magician Of The Ancient Castle 4

“I should have done this from the beginning… When I heard about Minato’s skills, I had the same idea. It’s a strategy that can definitely clear it. However, waiting for SP to run out requires evasion or defense to be more than necessary… It might be a surefire way to win, but sacrifices are also certain. That’s why, Minato, did you not propose it?”

“Chrom…”

“Don’t say anything more. You couldn’t be ruthless, and we were all too soft. No one is to blame. If you ever think we can fight together again, it’s hard to say that this plan should be the main one”

[Star Ray] is a skill that normally cannot be fired multiple times.

Even the [Shadows] inside the castle consume SP depending on their numbers.

When we arrived here, Amber’s SP was significantly lower than her original value.

“What a mess!”

With anger, Amber swings the Magic Rod at Chrom. His remaining HP finally reaches its limit.

“Heh, what a good defiant face. Rot in hell, damn woman.”

Chrom disappears with the smile of a man who accomplished redemption.

“Chrom…!”

Chrom hoped that I would finish off Amber.

That’s why he lowered his agility with [Shield Bearer’s Pride].

“I’m irritated! A mere nuisance like you has bothered me this much!”

This is not a dungeon, and Amber is not a monster here.

Like us, unless she rests or uses items, her SP won’t recover.

“Amber, how many shots of [Star Ray] did you fire today? How many [Shadows] did you summon? How much SP do you think you used for [Sword Lance], [Slash], and [Crossfire]?”

Amber realizes something.

“At that time, the one wandering around the hill—”

“It was to make you waste shots.”

“Damn you!”

Angry, Amber attacks me with the staff.

“There’s no way that will hit! I don’t remember raising you into that kind of character!”

Easily dodging, I finally catch her in range.

“Sensei!”

“Yeah!”

[Dark Magic], [Slow], and [Modulation] are activated simultaneously. In addition, I use [Falcon], [Sharp Strike], and [Deception].

“Aaaaah!”

I swing the Poison Sword and Thorn Sword with a roar from the depths of my stomach.

I hear the sound of a critical hit.

Can you all hear it?

That’s the best requiem I can send.

The two swords pierce through Amber.

<.Dealt 89 damage to Amber>

<.Amber is Bleeding>”

<.Amber takes 10 damage from Bleeding>

<.Amber get Poison>

<.Amber takes 12 damage from Poison>

“I’m not done yet, Tuna Woman!”

I pull the sword with my foot and use [Sharp Strike] again.

<.Dealt 35 damage to Amber>

<.Amber takes 14 damage from Bleeding>

<.Amber’s Poison becomes Severe Poison>

<.Amber takes 33 damage from Severe Poison>

“Nooooo!?”

Amber’s ear-piercing scream echoed in the large hall. The speed reduction from [Slow] and [Shield Bearer’s Pride] is working.

Although her defense has increased, [Sharp Strike] is an attack that ignores defense. I didn’t let up at all.

<.Amber takes 18 damage from Bleeding>

<.Amber takes 22 damage from Bleeding>

<.Amber takes 26 damage from Bleeding>

With each attack, the bleeding damage increases by just 1 point, and with the fixed effect of Severe Poison, her HP steadily decreases.

With the Bleeding effect making her covered in blood, Amber vomits a large amount of blood due to the Severe Poison.

And finally, her HP is depleted.

Gasping for breath, I holster the two swords and say to the disappearing Amber,

“The reason you’re the strongest rear guard is only because the player is me. First, you lack calmness. Next, you lack humility. And you also lack respect, manners, judgment ability, and combat sense. — You’re just a firepower maniac with overwhelming specs, that’s why you’re taken down like this.”

Leaving behind a shrill death scream, Amber disappeared.
