Early-game Boss

Some time later, he turned to the adventurer's guild with a broken magic sword and 34 more Skill Points since the sword gave him 2 more levels, reaching 40 in total with the ones he already had.

He immediately used 35 of them, 10 for the second level of Weapon Mastery and 25 for a new skill.

[Unshackle]

>Level 1/1

>Requirement: Shackle

>It can be used only when Shackle is active, the chains binding you will break, releasing the destruction and rage that your soul contained, it causes a bigger and stronger shockwave of before.

The damage, speed and your constitution will be doubled for 1 minute, also, if Shackle is level 2, effects given from that will last 1 minute since the use of this skill.

[Weapon Mastery]

>Level 2/10

>Cost: 15 Skill Points

>Self explained.

When he will have more skill points, he will think about the next skill to buy. Now…

Aqua: W-Why!?

Aqua's loud voice and be heard from everywhere in the guild, she was grabbing a staff member of the guild with tearful eyes.

Aqua: Didn't I tell you, the cage I borrowed from you wasn't damaged by me! It was that Mitsurugi guy who bent the bars! Why do I have to pay for it!?

Soon, she gave up and took the reward, then she came to his table with heavy footsteps.

Aqua: ...The bounty this time, after deducting the compensation for the broken cage, was only 100'000 Eris… The staff said that the cage was made from a special process and material, so it costed 200'000 Eris…

The next time I meet that man, I'll definitely give him a God Blow! And get him to cough up the compensation for the cage!

Alex felt a bit sorry for her and said.

Alex: Order a single meal, I will pay for it. But just one meal.

Aqua: *Sigh*...Thanks…

She picked up the menu, Alex, Darkness and Megumin did the same, and suddenly…

?: So that's where you are! I had a hard time finding you, Alexander Carter!

Speak of the devil, here is Mitsurugi, with a bandage on his head, who rushed at their table and slammed both his hands down.

Mitsurugi: Alexander Carter! I asked a female Thief about you and she told me everything immediately. She said you have a unique class that summon demonic swords and you came back from the quests with girls covered in slime. Lots of people are talking about you.

Alex: Can you just tell me what the fuck do you want?

Mitsurugi: ...Lady Aqua. I swear to you, after I get my sword back from that man, I will defeat the Demon King. So please join me and form a part-Puah!

Aqua stood up and delivered a God Blow at him, making him fly away. His female companions rushed towards him, Mitsurugi showe a baffled face, not understanding why he was hit. Meanwhile she walked towards him and grabbed his collar.

Aqua: Compensate me for the cage you destroyed! It's all your fault that I had to pay for that cage! Because that cage was made through a special process and material, it costed me 300'000, okay!? 300'000! You hear me, pay up!

...Wasn't it 200'000 Eris?

Anyway, he dumbly forked out the cash, and the satisfied Aqua took it and left him alone. Mitsurugi composed himself and said to Alex with a begrudgingly tone.

Mitsurugi: ...Even though I was defeated in that way, it was still my loss since i underestimated you. Although it is shameless and selfish of me to say this after promising to do anything you wish… I beg of you! May you return the sword to me? 

That sword wouldn't be of much use to you, it's just sharper than normal swords if you wield it. That's the most you can get out of the sword… How about this? If you want a sword, I can buy the best one in any shop and give it to you… May you please return it to me?

Alex: First of all, my swords are much better than that magic sword. Second, the sword is gone.

He gave Mitsurugi a destroyed Gram, the man looked at the sword in despair. Then he grabbed it and ran away in tears with his companions.

Mitsurugi: Damn you!!

Obviously, this scene attracted the gaze of many people.

Darkness: ...What's with that guy… Speaking of which, he had been addressing Aqua as a goddess all this while, what's up with that?

Alex: …*Ahem* They knew each other since childhood, and as you see, she tried so much to be like the Goddess Aqua that the poor man is really thinking that's tr-

"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Attention all adventurers, please prepare all your equipment and gather at the town's main gate ready for battle!"

Alex: God, now what?

"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Attention all adventurers, please prepare all your equipment and gather at the town's main gate ready for battle! Especially Alexander Carter and his companions, please head to the scene as soon as possible!"

Alex: ...Huh?

The party immediately rushed to the main gate. And that guy was there again, standing quite some distance away from the crowd of adventurers. Though, it's more like the adventurers were keeping a respectable distance from him… It was the Dullahan.

Unlike last time, he brought an army of monsters, you could see that they were undead if you looked closely.

Alex: What do you want? We stopped casting the magic explosion, no?

Dullahan: Stopped casting explosion?! You say it stopped?! Stop lying to me! That crazy Crimson Demon girl is still visiting every day!

Alex: Huh?

He turned towards Megumin, who averted her eyes immediately.

*Pow!*

Alex: Did you do this? I told you not to, but you still went?

Megumin: OUCH!! It hurts! No, listen to me, Alex! I was satisfied with casting explosion on an empty plain not so long ago… But after i knew the charm of attacking a castle with magic, my body changed and I could only accept big and hard things…!

Alex: Don't fidget around while saying that! And you can't move after casting your spell, so that means you have someone else! Who in the world…

This time it was Aqua's turn to avert her eye…

Alex: Damn you!!

Aqua: That Dullahan was the reason we can't get any good quests, so I wanted to vent some of my frustration! I was lectured by the store owner every day because of him!

She tried to escape, but he summoned a dagger and stabbed her clothes, nailing her to the ground. Then Alex turned around and asked to the Dullahan.

Alex: Then what do you want this time?

Dullahan: I want you to stop your companion from using explosion on my castle.

Alex nodded and turned towards Megumin.

Alex: Alright, Megumin, I will suggest you to stop, but I know that I can't stop you. What will you do? Stop and leaving the Dullahan alone until the knights coming here will do something, or will you continue and attract the guy's anger? 

Megumin: ...To hell with it! I won't stop!

Dullahan: Alright then… I'll just ki-

Aqua: Turn Undead!

She freed herself and casted Turn Undead to the Dullahan.

Dullahan: You think a Demon King's General wouldn't be prepared to fight priests? Too bad. Including me, all the undead knights in this band have received the protection of the Demon King. We have a very high resistance against holy spells-Ahhhhh!

After getting blasted by the magic, black smoke started emerging from the Dullahan. 

Aqua: Hey, hey Alex! This is strange, it's not working!

No, it was pretty effective if you tell me…

WIth unsteady steps, the dullahan said.

Dullahan: Hmph… Wait for me to finish! I am Beldia, a Demon King's General, Dullahan Beldia! With this armour that was enchanted by the Demon King and my own powers, Turn Undead from a normal priest won't work on me! ...It shouldn't work at all…

...Nevermind. Because our diviner was raging on about a strong light descending near this town, I came here to investigate… In the beginning, I thought it was too much of a hassle and considered destroying the entire town… 

Hmph, you're not worthy enough for me to do it in person… Go, my brothers! Let them know what hell tastes like!

Alex: What? Are you scared of Aqua and use this chance to escape?

Beldia: T-That, that's not it! This was my plan from the very beginning! A Demon King's General is not a weakling who escapes on his own! You wouldn't fight the boss at the very start. Of course, you would need to defeat the underlings first, that's the tradition since ancient times-

Aqua: Sacred Turn Undead!

Beldia: YAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Beldia's armour was fuming black smog, and he rolled on the ground as if he was attempting to put out his fire.

Aqua: W-What should we do, Alex?! this is strange! My spell isn't working at all.

Beldia: Damn, damn you…! Let someone who's talking finish! Enough! Hey, my brethren…! All the people in this town… Kill them all!

And so the Undead Knights behind him started to attack…
