She Professed Herself The Pupil Of The Wiseman (WN)

The Prowler’s strong exoskeleton was just that, an exoskeleton. Now that it had discarded its weight, the boss moved much more swiftly and agile.

「Hmm… its attacks are also stronger now.」

With regained strength, the Prowler resumed its attacks. Mira observed that carefully, noticing how it was chipping away at the Holy Lords’ shields more.

Just like its body had gotten faster, the attacks were also quicker, which increased their power. It really was like some super hero powering up after casting away their weights.

(Even though less weight should mean the attacks are less powerful. Oh well, I guess that’s as much as mashed up parts can do.)

At first, the Prowler looked asymmetrical and unbalanced, which probably affected its attacks negatively. Only now it was able to strike at full force.

「That means it’s time for the second formation.」

The Prowler’s attacks were more precise, but also powerful enough to slightly push back on the Holy Lords. That showed just how much stronger it had become. At this rate the Holy Lords would be smashed down before they were cut down.

But Mira did not look disparaged, calmly looking behind the Prowler.

So far the Prowler would always jump back past the reach of the black blades, where it would gather its strength before ramming against the shields again. It was a constant cycle of attacking and running.

The distance the Prowler needed to run to amass enough momentum was roughly five meters.

That was still within the range Mira could summon in.

The Prowler lowered its stance again, then dashed and struck the large shields, red sparks flying everywhere. Seeing that, Mira grinned and activated her summons.

When dodging the partially summoned black blades, the Prowler constantly looked at Mira’s eyes, which would look a certain way when summoning. That was how it dodged everything constantly.

There was a reason why it held the title of being the second hardest enemy to beat in the entire Ancient Underground City.

But there was one crucial thing the Prowler missed.

It did not consider what kind of summon Mira would activate.

As soon as its feet hit the ground, it backflipped away to avoid being hit by black blades. But they did not appear.

Instead, two Holy Knights appeared just where he had jumped off to. They enclosed the Prowler against the Holy Lords.

It instantly knew what was happening and switched targets to the Holy Knights.

「It’s too late for that.」

With a slight grin, Mira transformed both Holy Knights.

A moment later there was a loud clang and sparks flew everywhere. The Prowler had just hit the newly appeared Holy Lords.

「Trapped rat formation complete!」

There was no escape from that, the enormous shields blocked every way. Meanwhile Mira just grinned through the small gaps between the Holy Lords.

The prowler went berserk, running as fast as it could from one side to another trying to strike the Holy Lords with more strength. It understood the situation it was in, so it desperately attempted to get out.

But the Holy Lords would not let it get out, and instead slowly walked toward each other, following Mira’s orders.

It was easy to see what would happen if the Holy Lords got too close to each other. And evidently the space the Prowler could move in shrank bit by bit.

The Prowler ran around like an enraged beast in a jail, wildly swinging at the Holy Lords. But that did not stop anything, and as the space grew smaller, the Prowler was unable to gather as much momentum, lowering its power.

By the time the distance between the Holy Lords had shrunk by a few meters, the Prowler was nearly at arm’s reach from the Holy Lords, which did not give it enough space to even swing its blades properly.

「Alright, time for the last step.」

Saying that, Mira gave yet another order to the Holy Lords. Following it, they continued moving, skillfully encircling the Prowler within their four shields.

Now the Prowler was not only stopped from moving front and back, but also from the sides. All it could do was screech in protest.

「Not even the Mechanical Prowler can do something against this.」

Mira chuckled to herself as she looked at the Prowler desperately screeching between the shields, and then gave the last order.

The two Dark Lords slowly approached the restrained Prowler, standing on opposite sides, and finally began the proper execution.

Their blades passed through the small gaps between the large shields, mercilessly piercing into the Prowler’s body. It looked like a crude pop-up pirate with no proper mechanisms inside.

The swords rattled violently as the screeches became louder, but after each successive thrust, they began to grow weaker, and by the eight stab it went silent.

「Hmm, so it’s done. That took quite some time.」

Mira told the Dark Lords to stop for a moment and she looked inside.

Inside she saw a pile of scrap metal twisted into a nondescript clump, all that remained of the Prowler.

When one of the large shields moved away, there was a metallic clang as the Prowler’s remains fell loose. It was impossible to make out what had once been its arms or legs.

「I’m like Kongming.」

After swiftly sealing her opponent’s movements, she defeated it with little effort. Mira puffed her chest in pride at the success of her strategy.

『That was quite a sight to behold. I’m impressed by your merciless fighting style.』

『I prefer fighting head on, clashing with everything I have. It’s more fun to fight strength with strength, and skill with skill.』

The Spirit King and Martel had been watching with much interest. But they also were slightly taken aback by the terrible state the Prowler was left in.

Also, that method of encircling enemies made players always tell others 「I never want to fight Danbulf again」 in the past. As a result, it did not take long enough for Danbulf to become the one Wiseman no one wanted to fight. Though Mira never noticed that.
