How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 333

370. The Final Boss (6)

“……Aileen, what you’re saying sounds ominous.”

“I’d rather hear you say we should catch those monsters.”

Everyone shuddered as if they felt a bad premonition.

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean!

Let me say it again.

“Let’s do something crazy.”

“It’s not that I didn’t hear you?!

The monsters are chasing us. I don’t want to deal with them. We still have a way to go.

So, what should we do?

“We just need to shake them off skillfully.”

The situation seemed perfect.

“Crouse, deploy a defense magic barrier as thick as possible in the front!”

“Yes? ……Yes!”

Crouse adds magic without knowing why he’s being asked to.

“Lucell, summon the Iron Spirit you contracted with and put iron plates in front of the ship!”

“……Ugh.”

“Do it if you want to live.”

Lucell, who already felt something ominous, obediently follows.

“Um…… then what should I do?”

“Alnix, I don’t have anything for you to do, so please eat jerky in the corner over there. Please just watch and don’t do anything else.”

“……Okay, I will.”

I think I heard a slight sob, but I must be mistaken.

What can I do? I really don’t have anything to ask him to do.

In the meantime, the magma serpents rush to bite our airship.

First, I create pillars of ice to keep them in check. But it’s not very effective. Even if we get rid of them, more monsters keep coming.

We need to hurry.

“Is this enough for now?”

Crouse and Lucell’s reinforcement should be enough, but you never know.

I use my ability to add plates that will serve as additional barriers, and then use gravity control to create repulsive force to accelerate.

In an instant, the view seemed to be pulled forward.

“Kuh!”

“Hihyak?!”

Everyone swallowed screams at the sudden acceleration and leaned against the wall or grabbed onto solid objects to avoid being pushed away.

Not yet.

“Grab onto something that will hold you securely!”

I’m going further!

Summon Salamander!

And the time has come to say this line I’ve always wanted to say.

“Booster on!”

The flames that Salamander rapidly burns attach to the frame I made behind me, creating a large amount of flame.

Faaaaaaang!

A roar as if oxygen is rapidly burning, and the immense acceleration presses down on our entire bodies.

“Good! Very good acceleration!”

A dizzying sensation as if the blood is rapidly draining from my body.

This is speed!

Q. The enemy is chasing you. How can you shake them off?

A. We just need to be faster than the enemy.

It’s a simple truth.

“Wait, Aileen! It’s too fast!”

“Stop! Stop! We’ll all die if we crash like this!”

Everyone screamed, crushed by the speed, but who cares?

“You say it’s too fast?”

Then I’ll increase the speed even more.

We’re busy people, so we don’t have to be shy.

“Come on! Faster! Faster! Hahahahahahaha!”

I feel like my head is clearing up.

So! This is what speed is!

“It’s just that blood isn’t circulating in your head!”

With a scream, we instantly shook off the pursuing monsters and crashed towards our destination.

* * *

If you increase the speed, there will be an impact afterward.

Why does speeding cause accidents?

After going on a rampage, the moment of regret always comes to that terrible conclusion.

Kooong!

With a roar that seemed to shake even the inside of my head, the airship we were on crashed into the bottom of our destination.

Deceleration?

Unfortunately, there are no brakes.

I don’t know how to slow down even if I wanted to.

I tried to use gravity control to decelerate, but all I could think of was a future where we would shatter into pieces in the air.

So, we just crash.

Tooo Kwaaaaaaaaang!

The moment we crashed with a roar, everything turned upside down and debris scattered.

If we hadn’t built a strong barrier with the defense barrier Crouse deployed and the power of the spirit Lucell summoned, it wouldn’t have been strange if we had turned to dust the moment we collided.

Of course, we would have to bear the full impact.

Fortunately, the people on board are all sturdy.

Ordinary humans would have turned to dust from the impact, but we’ll just be in pain and won’t die.

“Aileen, don’t think based on your standards!”

I ignore the trivial complaints.

With a vibration that felt like the world was turning upside down, the airship dragged along the ground and crashed hard into a nearby rock.

Koong!

Fortunately, the shaking doesn’t continue after that impact.

Well, that’s a different story from being safe.

“Ugh…… my head.”

As I grabbed my head and staggered to my feet, I felt rustling sounds from other places as well.

I’m glad everyone is safe.

I believed in you, our blockheads.

“I’m glad you’re all safe. I’m so glad you’re all safe…… Cough?!”

“You crazy bastard!”

I was hit in the forehead by a piece of wood Lucell threw and fell backward.

However, I can’t complain this time.

Even I think I deserved to be hit this time.

And around the time Aileen and his party arrived in the Demon Realm.

In the center of this Demon Realm, the White Hell…… on the top floor of the tower where Epheleoht was holed up.

The final boss, who was waiting for all the evil there, muttered with a slightly dazed look.

“……That crazy bastard.”

“What are you talking about?”

And Sylvester just glared at him, not knowing what he meant.

* * *

“Anyway, we arrived gracefully and safely. Well, this is our destination. Well, those who want to get off…… well, everyone got off.”

“Gracefully?”

“Safely?”

I know, I know. I’m really sorry.

“What can I do? We wouldn’t have arrived if we hadn’t flown so recklessly.”

They probably took that into consideration, so they only got angry once each.

If it were me, I would have sulked for the rest of my life…… everyone is so virtuous.

“Well, the airship we rode on has done its part…….”

“It’s more like it’s been destroyed than done its part.”

“…….”

The ship in front of us is now so broken that you can’t even imagine its original shape.

It was a short time, but thank you for your hard work. I won’t forget you.

I just gave a light prayer and focused on the direction we should take as our destination.

A huge tower.

“The idiots we’re looking for are probably over there.”

Even in the original story I knew, he used this place as the basis for maintaining and drawing out his power.

Epheleoht is probably refining his power in the center of that.

I can’t cut off his head unless I go there.

“That central area…….”

“It looks far away…….”

It’s so large that its outline can be seen even beyond that continent.

When you actually arrive here, you can’t see the end even if you look up.

A huge tower that seems to pierce the sky…….

‘I didn’t want to see this if possible…….’

It probably won’t be easy to capture.

I know him, and he knows how annoying I am.

“First of all, be prepared.”

No one makes weak noises at that.

“The distance seems quite far.”

Crouse muttered as if gauging the distance, narrowing his eyes at the tower.

“Is the location in the center?”

“Probably.”

The width of the White Hell can be said to be the size of a large territory.

Epheleoht probably touched the detailed parts to his liking, but he probably didn’t touch the overall size.

Anyway, it’s damn wide.

“Ugh…… the ship is broken, so do we have to walk? Aileen? I’m not expecting anything, but what about your abilities?”

It seems like they’re expecting a means of transportation like space transition or Youngbo [teleportation technique].

I naturally put my arms together and drew an X.

“Don’t expect anything!”

As expected, the transition seems to have countermeasures against the same space system, and Youngbo is difficult to activate here.

It’s a technique that moves along the flow of mana, but it’s erratic here.

It’s possible to call Balant, but it’s 불안하다 [unstable] for me to use it directly.

“Well, I’ll use it if you have the courage to be buried in the ground two or three times.”

“……Don’t use it. Use it alone.”

Lucell is so stingy.

“Anyway, let’s hurry.”

As Crouse urged, we tried to move towards our destination.

But I have no intention of marching honestly.

Isn’t human wisdom there to avoid walking?

I think walking unnecessarily is an act of betraying providence.

“There are plenty of useful things~ Let’s use that.”

What I was watching was the already broken airship.

I pulled out sturdy planks from the parts, tied them together, and under them.

“Yob!”

Using the all-purpose magic crystal, I create crystals in a wide spreading form.

“You’re doing something strange again.”

Everyone is used to my eccentric behavior now, so they don’t say anything.

And put the party on top of it.

“Crouse, please use wind.”

Using my Sylph and Crouse’s magic at the same time, I create wind and push the sled made on the spot.

The all-purpose crystal is a mineral made of mana, and the coefficient of friction is lower than that of real ore.

In other words, it slides well.

At worst, it feels like it’s going 60 kilometers per hour [approximately 37 miles per hour].

It’s useful.

“……You’re still good at these tricks.”

“More than that, aren’t we going to crash into something.”

“Walk if you’re 불안하다 [anxious].”

“…….”

I’m the one riding it, so I paid some attention.

It’s simple, but I can change the direction.

Well, it’s not like the members who are going to crash into something will be 새삼 [particularly] affected.

After all, the body is wealth.

How far did we slide while 쭉쓱 [smoothly] sliding like that?

“Um? ……Stop for a moment.”

“Even if you say stop! Kuh!”

When I suddenly shouted, Crouse quickly stopped the wind and put up a defense barrier in front.

Kugugugugung!

It makes a scratching noise and decelerates.

“What is it, Aileen?”

“……Wait a moment.”

In order to confirm the reality of what I sensed, I created and flew a surveillance ability Imp’s eyeball.

As I pretended to close one eye and concentrated my consciousness appropriately, I could see a wide view from a higher position.

“Tsk.”

And I clicked my tongue.

“It looks like there’s something. What is it?”

“We have a guest who came before us.”

“……That.”

Everyone’s expression hardened as if they knew what I was talking about.

If they’re guys who came before us, there’s only them.

The army that set out to subjugate Epheleoht.

Even after hearing the news that the first unit was annihilated, the airship continued to carry troops.

I thought they would be somewhere, but it seems like they were on the route we were heading.

“We’re so unlucky…… Why does our path overlap…….”

“You don’t seem to want to run into them very much.”

“Well, I don’t really like the military, but.”

Before personal opinions, the point is whether they will be happy with us acting arbitrarily here.

Everyone has no objection.

“Are you going to ignore it?”

“I want to, but…… Tsk!”

I focused more and examined their situation and clicked my tongue.

“They’re in battle.”

“…….”

Currently, they are fighting with summons presumed to be summoned by Epheleoht.

“Honestly, the battle situation is not good. They probably won’t last even half a day before being annihilated.”

Not good.

As expected, it seems that the rumor that the advance team was annihilated is true.

“Maybe…….”

“No. That idiot Sylvester is not there.”

Even if I look roughly, there are only his summons.

There is no sign of Sylvester.

His aura is noticeable, so there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize him.

Alnix and Lucell’s expressions became slightly more comfortable as if that was a blessing in disguise.

‘Well, that guy probably hasn’t gone so crazy that he’ll swing his sword at innocent humans.’

Anyway, let’s postpone that problem for later.

“The problem is those people, they look precarious…….”

Everyone is hesitating as if they are worried.

They know what the consequences of wasting power when they have things to do will lead to, so they can’t speak rashly.

“So, let’s help them.”

So, I’ll say it instead.

I’ll save them.

“……Are you okay with that?”

“It doesn’t matter. I feel uncomfortable ignoring them, and it’s an opportunity to get cooperation if we do well.”

We have to save those who can be saved.

“Let’s go.”
