Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy-Novel

A ball of flame was released from the tip of Ciel's staff and hit the head of the mechanical doll, Machine Orfred. Immediately after impact, Machine Orfred was wrapped in a red aura.

[Enemy attack confirmed. Commencing extermination.]

After being attacked, Machine Orfred started moving. It seemed to have received some damage from the direct hit of magic, but it didn't seem to be affected that much.

"You're careless... minus one point."

As long as we don't attack, this enemy won't move. Therefore, they should start with a long chant time and use powerful magic for the initial strike. They could also use auxiliary magic and summon beasts before attacking... in short, there were many things they could do. But attacking suddenly is the worst possible response.

[Proceed to cut up.]

Machine Orfred swung its weaponized arm and released a slash.

"Summon... White Dragon."

Electra summoned a dragon beast. It intercepted Machine Orfred's weapon and guarded the three behind it.

"'Flame Javelin!'"

While the White Dragon bought them time, Ciel completed the chant and unleashed another flame magic. The flame spear hit Machine Orfred, but the damage was light. She should have released a more powerful spell than before.

"It's not effective...! Why?"

"Look closely. If you observe, the answer will come."

"...?"

After receiving advice from behind, Ciel observed Machine Orfred as instructed. Then, she immediately noticed.

"That red aura... does it have resistance to fire attacks?"

"Excellent answer, that's right."

After receiving Ciel's initial strike, Machine Orfred wrapped its body in a red aura. This gave it resistance to fire attacks.

"Then... Water Lance!"

[Beep! Beep! Beep!... Damage rate 12%. Self-repair will begin.]

Ciel cast a water magic. The water spear hit Machine Orfred directly and shook its body greatly. Apparently, she was able to do some serious damage.

"As expected... when it's wrapped in a red aura, water is effective!"

Ciel cheered. I crossed my arms in an unexpected state of mind as I watched Ciel jump happily and wave her skirt.

"You noticed it quickly, huh... But it's a little boring."

In front of my gaze, Machine Orfred changed the color of the aura it was wearing from red to blue. As can be seen, this boss monster can gain resistance to the attribute it receives every time it receives a magic attack.

If it wears a red aura, it becomes strong against fire but weak against water. If it wears a blue aura, it becomes strong against water but weak against fire.

To deal with an enemy with a fluid weakness, they have to give an attack that accurately targets its weakness. That's the strategy for defeating this boss monster. It's difficult because they have to use multiple attributes depending on the situation.

[Proceed to exterminate.]

"Gyann!"

Machine Orfred released a powerful slash. White Dragon received a lot of damage to its neck and disappeared. Its durability had been reduced to the limit.

"Snowww!"

"Your Highness Electra, summon the next beast!"

Immediately, Aeris deployed a barrier magic to prevent Machine Orfred's fierce attack. While buying time like this, Electra chanted and summoned the next beast.

"Summon... Earth Titan!"

"Oryaaaaaaa!"

The one that appeared from the magic circle was a half-naked giant. Earth Titan. It boasted one of the highest defense and magic resistance among the summoned beasts.

"I will focus on defense. Ciel-san, attack!"

"Got it!"

Ciel accurately cast magic at the changing attributes of Machine Orfred one after another.

Each mage in this game has their own specialty attribute and may be less skilled in other magic... but Ciel has the widest range of attributes that can be mastered.

She is one of the most skilled mage in the game, as she can use almost all types of magic except for light and dark magic.

[Breaking through the 50% damage rate. Moving on to stage 2.]

After dealing a certain amount of damage, unsettling words were spoken from Machine Orfred's mouth. A hatch on its chest opened, and several small mechanical monsters resembling haniwa were released.

It was one of those bosses that occasionally call out minor monsters to fight. Each small monster had a red, blue, yellow, or green aura, indicating that they had some kind of attribute.

"I'll reduce their numbers, so please focus on defense!"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

Although the enemies increased, the three of them didn't panic. Ciel gave accurate instructions and calmly reduced the number of minor monsters that appeared. They were about to run out of magic, but they didn't forget to drink the potions one by one to recover.

"Do you really not need any help?"

Perhaps the pep talk before the battle had an effect. Ciel, in particular, had awakened. As if to say that she was the main heroine and the first companion of the protagonist, she was actively showing off her skills.

[Breaking through the 90% damage rate. Moving on to the final stage.]

Due to the accumulated damage, Machine Orfred transformed into its final form, resembling a dragon from its original dogu shape. However, it was no longer an enemy that the three of them could handle.

"Let's observe it first. Let's figure out its attack pattern!"

"Understood. Everyone, be careful!"

"Don't push yourselves. I'll heal you right away if things get dangerous!"

[Proceed to eliminate! Gaaaah!]

The three of them faced Machine Orfred's final form and defeated it after a fierce battle. In the end, I didn't have a chance to participate.

"Huff, huff... What do you think? You have no complaints now, right...!"

"..."

As I turned around to face Ciel, who was glaring at me, I shrugged my shoulders in response.
