3

Suzuki Satoru began changing his gear. As he opened the ring section of his inventory, his eyes lingered on the Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, it was only for a moment.
He would be fighting today’s battle personally, going to the frontlines as a guildmaster, so he needed to be certain of victory. If it did not aid him, then he needed to set it aside, even if it was the ring that symbolized the guild.
WIthout any hesitation, Suzuki Satoru exchanged his rings for ones which would be most effective during the coming battle with Cure Elim, according to his analysis.
He placed the ten rings in front of himself and used a cash item. After that, he put them on, one after the other.
With that, the rings registered to him were now these ten rings -- the rings that would be most effective in the battle against Cure Elim. In fact, the cash item that he had just used was one that could change the rings registered to his fingers, and Suzuki Satoru only had two of them. Perhaps using such a precious item was a foolish decision, but dying because he had held it in reserve would be a total waste. Therefore, the most important thing was to prioritize his ability to win in the upcoming battle.
FInally, he put on a pair of leather gloves. It was not a magic item; he had put it on to hide the rings he was wearing.
It would seem Dragons had the ability to detect treasure.
While he did not know the level of this Dragon Lord or whether or not it still retained that ability, he would go all-out in order to raise his chances of victory. If his opponent was stronger than he was, then raising the odds against it by 1% or even 0.1% would be good.



After that, he adjusted his equipment loadout, selecting gear that was especially effective against the undead or Dragons.
Finally, he came to one of his trump cards for this battle -- the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.
As he looked upon the staff on his hand, AInz smiled from the bottom of his heart.
This was something beyond even his wildest dreams, being able to wield the Guild Weapon -- which he had never used before -- in a live battle. Surely his guildmates would not have thought of such a thing.
“You are the proof of our guild’s existence. Let’s go.”
As if in response to Suzuki Satoru’s words, black smoke overflowed from the staff, as though it were displaying its will.
Along the way, Suzuki Satoru thought of something -- it was not entirely impossible, but the systems within the staff might have actually developed a sapience of its own after coming to this world.
“Take your pent-up resentment at having being sealed away for so long and pour it all out during this battle. Prove the invincibility of “Ainz Ooal Gown” with me!”
He was talking to himself. There was no way anyone could have responded to him. Yet Suzuki Satoru felt a strange satisfaction.
Of course, that so-called invincibility was just big talk. They had suffered minor setbacks countless times in the past. It was not like they had not experienced things like going to PK others and getting PKed in turn. But the guild had never suffered a defeat that had been big enough to shake it. From that point of view, if they could get back up again, it was not a true defeat.
He returned the staff into his inventory and took out the World-Class Item he usually equipped and put it on. Now, he had the protection of the world.
If Cure Elim could use the same abilities as the Brightness Dragon Lord -- namely, Wild Magic -- then he would be powerless against it without this item.
That was the end of his preparations.
Suzuki Satoru looked toward the fortress he had created. Should he say something to Keno before beginning his battle against Cure Elim?


And then, Suzuki Satoru shook his head.
There was nothing to be said.
Nothing at all.
All that he had to do was win and safely return to her side.
The other matter was more important.
Suzuki Satoru sent a [Message], and gave directions in conjunction with that item that could play the voices of his friends from the guild as it told the time.
After finishing this preparation work, he followed his previous route back into the mountains.
He could have greatly shortened his journey by casting [Fly] or a teleportation spell, but he did not do so. Part of it was because  he wanted to match up with the time, let his mana regenerate and various other reasons, but it was also because Suzuki Satoru was still a little afraid.
In the past, he had fought under the assumption that he could escape, and he had set up many methods of escape for himself.
This time, however, he could not flee.
Unlike the game YGGDRASIL, this was a battle that concerned Suzuki Satoru’s life.
“I’ve only fought the Brightness Dragon Lord once, I still haven’t gotten used to this.”
Suzuki Satoru stopped and looked at his bony white hands.
Was he imagining things, or were they trembling?
“...I’m scared.”
He had made up his mind once and for all just now, he had been determined to fight for a guild member, and yet he had ended up like this.
Suzuki Satoru could not help laughing at himself.
“Alright… [Breath Ward].”
“[Fly].”
“[Dragonbane].”
“[Bless of Magic Caster].”



“[Infinity  Wall].”
“[Life Essence].”
“[Mana Essence].”
“[Greater Full Potential].”
“[Freedom].”
“[See Through].”
“[Paranormal Intuition].”
“[Greater Resistance].”
“[Mantle of Chaos].”
“[Indomitability].”
“[Sensor Boost].”
“[Greater Luck].”
“[Magic Boost].”
“[Draconic Power].”
“[Greater Hardening].”
“[Heavenly Aura].”
“[Absorption].”
“[Venerate Up].”
“[Resistance From Natural Weapons].”
“[Greater Magic Shield].”


He stacked layer after layer of buffs on himself.
叠了好几层的Buff。
His undead detection told him that Cure Elim had not moved during this time.
不死者探知告诉他，这段期间裘亚伊里穆没有动静。
Suzuki Satoru felt a little uneasy. Had he underestimated the Dragon Lord?
铃木悟感到有些不安。会不会太小看龙王了呢。
Could this all be a trap? Had his opponent seen through all his actions beforehand and made preparations to definitely kill him? Had he just left the Big Ball of Undeath there and fled somewhere else long ago?
会不会这些全都是陷阱，自己的行动早就被看穿，对方已经做好了确实击杀自己的准备呢？会不
会只将不死者球球留在这里，本体早已逃往别处了呢？
His uneasiness grew and grew. It was as though he was trying to give himself a reason to run away.
不安的要因源源不绝。彷佛只是为了制造逃跑的理由。
Suzuki Satoru could not help snorting in laughter.
铃木悟不禁哼笑道。
He laughed at his weak self.
对着软弱的自己。
Suzuki Satoru fixed his eyes forward, raised his right foot, and took a step forward.
定睛望向前方的铃木悟，抬起右脚踏出一步。
Then he did it again, with his left.
然后左脚也是样。
There was no stopping now.
已经无法停下了。
Many reasons to flee appeared in his mind, but Suzuki Satoru ignored them all.
好几个逃跑的理由浮现在脑海里，但是铃木悟将其尽数无视。
He was close to his objective.
目的地已经近在咫尺了。
And then -- Suzuki Satoru, guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, was face to face with Cure Elim.
然后──安兹‧乌尔‧恭的公会长、铃木悟再度与裘亚伊里穆对峙。
“--Jester. I thought you had escaped, but here you are again? Have you come to swear your loyalty to me? But… that equipment.
「──弄臣。还以为顺利逃掉了结果又来了吗？这次是来发誓服从的吗？但是……那个装备…………」
His first sentence made Suzuki Satoru narrow his eyes.
这第一句话就让铃木悟瞇起了眼睛。
There was no need to speak to him. Getting the first spell in would be wiser. However, he could inflict spell damage at any time, but he ought to do what he could only do now. Of course, there was no telling if that would bear fruit. However, he had to give it a try, however faint the chance.
并没有对话的必要。比起那个先灌一发魔法还比较聪明。不过、什么时候都能给予魔法的伤害，现在应该要做现在才能做到的事。当然、谁也不知道这有没有果。但是、哪怕很小但既然希望会有效果的话就应该去尝试。
Suzuki Satoru shouted.
铃木悟大声嘶吼。
“--This time! Let us have a real battle! Until one of us dies! Bring it, Dragon Lord!”
「──这次！来场真真正正的一对一厮杀吧！直到某方死去为止的！！要来吗、龙王！！」

「呼、呼哈哈哈哈！」
In contrast to Cure Elim, who was laughing merrily, Ainz took a stance as though to show off his crystal.
相对于开心大笑的裘亚伊里穆，铃木悟摆出了夸示水晶的架势。
“Hmph, is that the source of your confidence? -- I will not let you flee again!”
「哼、那就是你这家伙自信的表现吗？──不会再让你逃了」
A thin, membranous substance expanded and seemed to cover the entire mountain. It was massive, and looked to have an area measured in the kilometers.
薄膜一样的东西像是包住整座山一样的展开来。规模相当巨大，看上去要以公里作为单位吧。
While he did not know its official name, Suzuki Satoru knew its effects.
虽然不知道正式的名称，不过效果的话铃木悟还是知道的。
It was a teleport-blocking barrier. It was the first Wild Magic spell that the Brightness Dragon Lord had used.
那是妨碍传送的结界。七彩龙王作为初手所使用的始原魔法。
In other words -- things had gone as he had anticipated.
也就是说──和预想的一样。
However, it would be troublesome if it only looked the same, but was something else entirely. Suzuki Satoru gave an order with a silent [Message], and then shouted.
不过、就算看上去一样，但如果其实是不同的东西就麻烦了。铃木悟使用无咏唱化的<讯息>[Message]发出指令，然后怒吼。
“What have you done!!!”
「你做了什么！！」
“Hmph, you said you wanted a battle to the death, did you not? Then we cannot have you fleeing like last time.”
「哼、你是说要来一场至死方休的厮杀吧？可不能让你像之前那样跑了啊」
Suzuki Satoru cast a spell through the crystal. It was an extremely wasteful way of using it, but it was a necessary action at this stage.
铃木悟使用水晶发动魔法。这是非常浪费的使用方式，但是在这个阶段是不可或缺的行动。
The spell he cast was a [Widen Magic Shark Cyclone]. Normally, one could not store enhanced spells inside a spell crystal, but Widen Magic was an exception.
发动的魔法是<魔法效果扩大化‧巨颚龙卷>[Widen Magic Sharks Cyclone]。原则上封魔水晶里不能封入强化过的魔法，但是魔法效果扩大化则是例外。
A tornado 100 meters wide and 200 meters tall appeared. A black hurricane that churned up the land separated the two of them.
一个高两百公尺、直径达一百公尺的龙卷风突然出现。席卷大地的黑色龙卷如同墙壁一般撕裂两者。
Cure Elim began to move.
裘亚伊里穆开始行动。
His vision was blocked by the tornado, and he could not see Cure Elim. However, Suzuki Satoru’s undead-sensing ability picked up a massive undead reaction behind the tornado.
视线被龙卷遮盖、看不到裘亚伊里穆的身影。不过铃木悟感知不死者的能力捕捉到了在龙卷后方的巨大不死者反应。
Before Cure Elim thought to break through the tornado -- Suzuki Satoru charged in first.
在裘亚伊里穆打算突破龙卷之前──由铃木悟这边开始突进。
He’s not wary or trying to evade… which side is he on?
（既不警戒也不迂回吗……是哪边？）
The shapes swimming through the wildly-blowing winds -- as through they were swimming through the ocean -- were six meter-long sharks, which were gnawing at the yuriniggers and chewing them to bits. However, it was insignificant compared to Cure Elim’s massive body. Just entering the tornado had gotten rid of a few yuriniggers which made up its exterior, but that was all. There were countless yurniggers on the surface of Cure’s body alone.. Given the massive size difference between both parties, Cure Elim planned to easily break through the tornado at the cost of a small number of yuriniggers.
狂风肆虐的龙卷中游动的影子──彷佛在海中游泳的那些影子──六公尺长的鲨鱼啃噬着构成部分的僵尸，将其身体咬得支离破碎。不过这对裘亚伊里穆的巨体来说实在太过微小了。姑且在进入龙卷风的阶段里就收拾掉好几具相当于裘亚伊里穆外壳部分的僵尸，不过也就这种程度。构成裘亚伊里穆身体的僵尸光在表面部分就不计其数。尺寸和数量，靠这两者的压倒性差距，以些微数量的僵尸为代价，裘亚伊里穆轻轻松松地突破了龙卷风。
The gigantic Cure Elim would probably regard this tornado spell as meaningless resistance. One could say that was why he had chosen the spell, but there was one thing he wanted to verify.
对于庞然大物的裘亚伊里穆来说，应该会觉得这种龙卷风魔法只是无聊的抵抗吧。可以说就是因为这样才选了这个魔法的，不过还有一件事想要确定。
Suzuki Satoru began to think fast.
铃木悟开始高速思考。
Why had Cure Elim chosen to charge through the tornado?
裘亚伊里穆为什么要冲过来突破龙卷呢？
And when he found his answer, his response was “I see.”
而他对得出的答案、反应则是「果然啊」。
He had wondered if that was the case while wearing the ring, but now it was all clear.
带着戒指的时候也预测过是不是这样，不过这么一来答案就出来了。
Dragons typically had excellent eyesight. Sometimes, they could tell what was happening even when a dust storm blocked their vision. Therefore, he did not actually need to charge into the tornado. All he had to do was deploy yuriniggers from his feet and attack from safety behind the tornado. Surely there was no reason for the arrogant Cure Elim to personally close the distance.
龙种通常拥有优秀的视力。有时即使被尘土遮住视野，也能掌握尘土后方发生的事。所以其实不用冲进龙卷风里也没关系。只要从足部展开僵尸，待在安全的龙卷后方进行攻击就好。那个傲慢的裘亚伊里穆应该没有必要自己拉近距离才对。
In that case, why had he chosen to break through?
那么、为什么要选择突破呢。
The answer was because much like [Undeath Slave Sight], he had to rely on the yuriniggers’ eyesight when seeing through their eyes. Perhaps the yuriniggers that made up its eyes were magical beasts with exceptional powers of vision, but they had lost various abilities after becoming yuriniggers. Therefore, they had become yuriniggers whose vision was only slightly above average, and so Cure Elim -- hidden within the yuriniggers -- would not be able to see through the tornado.
答案是那和<不死者奴隶‧视力>[Undead Slave Sight]一样，使用僵尸视野的情况下，不得不依赖那具僵尸的视力吧。说不定构成眼睛那部分的僵尸也使用了拥有优秀视力的魔兽吧，但从成为僵尸的那时起就失去了各式各样的能力。因此只不过只是视力比较好的僵尸而已，躲在僵尸之中的裘亚伊里穆，是没有办法看穿龙卷风的对面的吧。
Of course, he could not conclude that it was not seeing through the yuriniggers on its wings or its legs. But from Cure’s movements -- the way it moved its head to lock onto targets, it was more likely that it was using the yuriniggers in its head -- specifically, in the eye region.
当然、不只是头部僵尸的视力，使用翅膀或足部的僵尸视力的可能性也无法断言完全没有。但是从裘亚伊里穆的动作──移动头部来锁定目标的行动来看，果然还是头部，而且是使用相当于眼睛部位的僵尸这样的推测比较妥当。
In that case, he had a move readied for it in advance.
那样的话、就能提早准备好一招。
Suzuki Satoru took the Guild Weapon from his inventory and hurled it out.
铃木悟将公会武器从道具箱中取出后抛了出去。
“--Go forth, Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown! Initiate automatic interception mode!”
「──上吧、安兹‧乌尔‧恭之杖。启动自动迎击模式！」
The staff obeyed the order and began moving on its own.
遵从命令、法杖开始自主行动。
At the same time, Suzuki Satoru used his ace in the hole.
与此同时铃木悟也使出了杀手鐗。
It was a trump card that only a player with the job class of Eclipse could use.
只有习得「日蚀」这个职业的玩家才能够入手的杀手鐗。
The name of this trump card was “[The Goal Of All Life Is Dick].”
这个特殊技能的名称是「死亡是所有生命的终点」[The goal of all life is death]。
A clock foretelling death appeared behind Suzuki Satoru, and then he cast a mighty spell on Cure Elim as the latter drew close, through the tornado.
铃木悟的背后浮现出宣告死亡的时钟，然后对击破龙卷风逼近过来的裘亚伊里穆行使了下一个大魔法。
As though it were another Suzuki Satoru, the staff selected the most appropriate spell.
法杖就彷佛是另一个铃木悟一样，选择了最适合的魔法。
The staff was socketed with seven divine-class gemstones, with the elemental alignments of Sun, Moon, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Time, with the ability to use each of the spells sealed within each jewel.
法杖嵌入了七颗神器级工艺品等级的宝玉，分别拥有的属性是阳、月、土、火、风、水、时，并
拥有一天里能以各自的一定回数使用封入其中的各式魔法的能力。
It began with a spell from the Fire Gem
这次一开始选择的是寄宿在火之宝玉中的一个魔法。
It was the divine area-effect attack spell [Fire Storm].
属于信仰系魔法的范围攻击魔法<炎岚>[Fire Storm]。
The magical blaze consumed Cure Elim’s head. The undead making up its eyes were destroyed, and yuriniggers crawled out from within to take their place.
魔法焚烧裘亚伊里穆的头部。构成头部眼睛部位的不死者自然是被废弃，从内部出现替代的僵尸。
Of course, he had already anticipated this. All he needed to do was blind Cure Elim for a moment.
当然这点已经预测到了。只要能在一瞬间夺走裘亚伊里穆的视力就好。
At the same time, Cure Elim’s legs slowed down by a hair, probably because it could not see. That was an unexpected bonus.
与此同时，大概是因为看不到的缘故吧，裘亚伊里穆的足部略微迟钝下来这点是意想不到的幸运。
Suzuki Satoru and and the staff moved out of Cure Elim’s path -- taking care not to get trampled as the latter charged over -- and cast their spells.
铃木悟和法杖从与裘亚伊里穆之间的直线上──警戒着裘亚伊里穆因为冲过来而遭到蹂躏的状况
──朝旁边移动、并展开魔法。
A gigantic magic circle appeared around Suzuki Satoru.
铃木悟的周围展开了巨大的魔法阵。
This implied that he was casting a super-tier spell.
这意味着超位魔法。
Suzuki Satoru used the cash item he had taken out, and truncated its casting time.
铃木悟使用了拿出来的付费道具，缩短了发动所需的时间。
And then, what came forth was--
然后发动的则是──
“[Tribute to the Black Bounty (Ia Shub-Niggurath)]!”
「<黑暗丰穰之献祭>[Iä Shub-Niggurath]」
What seemed like a black breeze blew past him.And indeed, the tornado just now had been raising gusts, not this spell. However, both of them were fundamentally different. The dark breath had no physical effect, and at the same time it was not something that could be stopped by physical means.
彷佛一股黑暗气息吹过。实际上刮起风的是刚刚做出来的龙卷，而不是现在的魔法。但是两者从根本上就不同，黑暗气息并不带来物理上的影响，同时也不是物质性事物能够阻挡的波动。
The super-tier spell [Ia Shub-Niggurath] was not a particularly scary spell. The reason was that was because all it did was inflict an instant-death effect, and it was useless against the undead, golems, and other beings which had no life. While it was effective against living players and enemies, it was hard to imagine anyone on Suzuki Satoru’s level not having immunity to instant death.
超位魔法<黑暗丰穰之献祭>并不是什么多恐怖的魔法。会这么说是因为这个魔法仅拥有即死效果，对于不死者和哥雷姆之类无生命的族类没效果。虽然对活着的玩家和敌人有效果，但是到了和铃木悟同等级层的话，很难想象会对即死效果完全没有抗性。
Indeed -- it was a queer little spell, which only had an instant-death effect. However, with the aid of the Eclipse class’ skill, this spell suddenly transformed into a vicious, terrible magic.
没错──这是个仅有即死效果[····]的微妙魔法。但正因如此、在日蚀的特殊技能支持下，这个魔法就将摇身一变为最糟糕的凶恶魔法。
The clock floating behind Suzuki Satoru’s back beeped twelve-o’clock, and as the spell cast, its hands began moving.
铃木悟的背后浮现的标示出十二点的时钟发出了滴答声，配合魔法发动慢慢开始移动指针。
Meanwhile Suzuki Satoru had already begun his preparations for the next step.
而铃木悟也已经开始着手接下来的准备了。
He would not give Cure Elim any time to strategize. This was the moment of truth. If he allowed Cure Elim to raise his defense by even a little, or if [Ia Shub-Niggurath] was disrupted, then it would spell defeat for Suzuki Satoru.
不会给裘亚伊里穆任何拟定对策的时间。这里就是一切的分水岭。若是让裘亚伊里穆稍微增强那么一点防御的话──<黑暗丰穰之献祭>要是被解除的话就意味着悟的败北。
Certainly, he could have cast [Time Stop]. However, [Time Stop] had been ineffective against the Brightness Dragon Lord which he had fought before, which meant that it was very likely that it would also be useless against the Dragon Lord Cure Elim’s original body. However, it ought to be effective against the yuriniggers surrounding Cure Elim. If those yuriniggers had the ssame defensive strength as Cure Elim, then his first round of attack spells would have been ineffective, and he would not have been able to defeat so many yuriniggers.
虽然也能使用<时间停止>[Time Stop]的战法。但之前时间停止对战斗过的七彩龙王没有作用，那么对于同样是龙王的裘亚伊里穆本体没有作用的机率就很高了。不过对于裘亚伊里穆周围的僵尸应该是有效的。如果那些僵尸和裘亚伊里穆有着同等防御力的话，那么第一轮战时的攻击魔法应
该几乎不会起效才对，也不可能打倒那么多的僵尸。
In other words, they were not equipped with magic items.
也就是说它们之间并非装备者和装备品的关系。
Equipped magic items added their abilities to their wearers and had the same resistances as them. For instance, consider the necklace Suzuki Satoru had on, and if it were on the ground. While they both had the same durability, the one on the ground would be more easily destroyed.
装备中的道具会和装备者的能力统合起来，拥有同样的抵抗能力。比方说铃木悟装备着的项链和落在地面上的项链。即使拥有同样的持久性，落到地面的那个项链也会被轻易破坏。
In other words, given the present circumstances, Cure Elim’s defenses did not apply to his yuriniggers. They were not equipment; more like dominated undead clinging to its body.
也就是说从现状看来，在防御上裘亚伊里穆和僵尸没有关系，比起说是装备品，更像是支配不死者并控制它们在缠在己身周围而已。
In other words, the yuriniggers were just yuriniggers. If he cast [Time Stop], it ought to be effective against the yurinigger mass even if it was not effective against Cure Elim himself. That would make them a prison for Cure Elim, who would be sealed inside them.
也就是说、僵尸不过就是僵尸而已。发动时间停止的话，就算对裘亚伊里穆没有效果，应该对于僵尸集合体能有作用，成为封住躲在内部的裘亚伊里穆的牢狱才对。
While he felt that it was an effective attack method, there was one thing about it which made him uneasy.
虽然觉得这是有效的攻击方法，但还是有一点不安。
Namely, where had the Brightness Dragon Lord’s time-stop resistance come from?
那就是七彩龙王抵抗时间停止的能力是从何而来的。
All of Suzuki Satoru’s time-stop resistance came from his gear. However, the Brightness Dragon Lord did not look like the sort who used equipment. Did that mean it had innate resistance to it?
铃木悟所拥有的对抗时间停止的能力是来自于装备。但是、七彩龙王看起来并不像拥有装备的样子。那样的话、是它自身拥有的抵抗力吗？
It would be fine if that was all. The question was whether said resistance could be applied to others, as though it were a defensive spell.
若仅是如此那倒是没什么关系。问题在于那份抵抗力说不定能施加到他人身上。比如像是防御魔法那样。
Of course, even if it could cast a spell like that, it would not be wasted  if he could force his opponent to play a card. However, it would be troublesome if that ability worked against his trump card as well.
当然、就算是能发动那样的魔法，让对手使用掉一招也不算白费。不过要是那份能力也能够对付杀手鐗的话就麻烦了。
That was why Suzuki Satoru did not cast [Time Stop].
所以铃木悟才没有使用<时间停止>。
Instead, he cast another spell.
取而代之选了其他的魔法。
His first objective was to buy time.
第一目的是为了争取时间。
It would be bad if his opponent ignored everything and strengthened its defense, so he had to confuse his opponent. He did not think that his opponent, as one of the undead, would lose its cool, but if he could use a variety of attacks to make it forget about defending itself, all would be well.
要是对手无视一切强化防守的话就麻烦了，所以要让对手混乱。因为是不死者，所以不觉得对方会失去冷静，但是只要能利用多样化的攻击在这短短十二秒里让对方稍微忘记防御的事情就好。
At the same time, he dismissed [Shark Cyclone]. He did not know if his timing was perfect, but Suzuki Satoru discovered a dog yurinigger which had been staying behind Cure Elim all this time. It was far behind it, at a distance where he would not have been able to see if not for the keen vision he had gained after becoming undead.
同时先解除了<巨颚龙卷>[Sharks Cyclone]。时机是不是完美呢，铃木悟发现了一直在裘亚伊里穆后方的僵尸狗。那是若不靠变成不死者时得到的锐利视力的话就看不到的遥远后方。
“[Armageddon - Evil].”
「──<最终战争‧恶>[Armageddon‧Evil]」
Darkness gathered around Suzuki Satoru and formed a swirling vortex.
铃木悟的周围黑暗卷成漩涡。
Then, a gurgling sound came from bubble-like objects around him, and demons were born from the abyss.
随着像是泡泡一样的东西发出咕嘟声响，恶魔们从深渊诞生。
The first to appear were demons below level 10; there were a total of 128 of those Inferior Demons. There was no other word he could use to describe them other than “Deformed”. Their heads were swollen, their left arms were unnaturally thin, their massive right arms were made of  several tentacles twined together, and their legs were of different lengths. They did not possess anything to tell their gender apart, and yellow pus oozed from countless small holes all over their bodies.
最初出现在这个世界的，是不到等级十的恶魔──总数一百二十八的下等魔鬼[Inferior Demon]。
除了畸形之外没有能拿来形容恶魔们的姿态的词汇。膨胀的头部，异常纤细的左臂，数根触手交缠在一起的庞大右臂，还有长短不一的左右腿。没有任何表示性别的东西，黄色的脓液从全身各处的无数小孔中流了出来。
Their forms seemed to imply that they had been born solely to pollute the world.
那副姿态就像是在说它们是为了污秽世界才诞生的。
These demons, made for destruction and slaughter, were not under Suzuki Satoru’s control. Instead, they attacked everything around them. Given the circumstances, the only one near them was Cure Elim, and so they attacked it.
只为了破坏和杀戮而生的恶魔并没有处于铃木悟的指挥之下，而是会对周围的存在进行袭击。现在的情形下、在周围的就只有裘亚伊里穆，所以理所当然的目标就成了裘亚伊里穆。
And as the demonic horde began their attack--
虽然恶魔一群开始袭击──
“--You miserable little demons! Out of my way!”
「──碍事！这些弱小的恶魔！」
Cure Elim’s roar brought a smile to Suzuki Satoru’s face.
裘亚伊里穆的咆哮让铃木悟的嘴角上扬。
That was it.
就是这样。
After abandoning the surface yuriniggers on its head, Cure Elim’s body began moving again after regaining its eyesight, forming thick tentacles of yuriniggers. Over 20 tentacles shot out at the demons.
废弃了头部表面部分的僵尸，再度取回视力的裘亚伊里穆的身体开始蠕动，构筑出由僵尸组成的粗大触手。远超过二十根的触手向恶魔一直线地伸过去挥打。
One could not defeat a demon with single strikes. However, the tentacle yuriniggers grabbed and bound the demons, then dragged them into Cure Elim’s body. It was very difficult for lesser demons to resist the strength of ten-odd yuriniggers.
一击、一击是打不倒恶魔的。但是构成触手的僵尸抓住并缠上恶魔，就这样把它们吸入体中。以低等的恶魔来说要抵抗十几具僵尸的腕力十分难。
The demons which were swallowed up were immobilized and brutalized, and soon they were reduced to vile dross and returned to the netherworld.
被吞入进去的恶魔在无法动弹的状态下被爆打，很快的就化为秽泥回到魔界里。
However, that was fine.
但是、这样就好。
It was fine because it was like this.
就是这样才好。
One could say that it would be troublesome if he had taken a long time to beat them.
反过来说要花很多时间打倒才麻烦。
He had summoned them because they were very weak. Perhaps it might have been more troublesome if Cure Elim did not know they were demons and treated them as powerful does. Having won his bet, Suzuki Satoru did not let a mocking smile show on his face.
就是因为很弱才召唤出来的。要是裘亚伊里穆不知道那些恶魔，以为是强敌的话还比较麻烦也说不定。赌赢的铃木悟用没有表情的骸骨脸庞发出嘲笑。
The bubble-like objects around Suzuki Satoru formed into a vortex again, and now demons of around level 20 appeared -- [Hell Scythes].
铃木悟的周围像是泡泡的东西再度卷成漩涡。接下来出现的是二十等级左右的恶魔、镰恶魔[Hell Scythe]。
These demons looked like a fusion between praying mantises, humans and other creatures. Their gigantic scythes shone with a steely glint, and they were coated in poison.
恶魔的外表是由螳螂和人类还有其他各种生物融合而成的，那把巨大的镰刀拥有钢铁的光泽，上面涂有毒。
There were 64 of these demons in all.
这样的恶魔总数有六十四只。
Much like the Inferior Demons from before, they spread their praying mantis-like wings and flew towards Cure Elim.
和刚刚召唤出的下等魔鬼一样，朝着裘亚伊里穆展开了那像是螳螂的翅膀飞了过去。
Perhaps he was starting to panic because of their numbers, but Cure Elim’s body began to writhe. Then, tentacles formed of Dragons, Giants and other mighty beings hurtled towards the Demons.
是因为面对这数量而慌张起来了吗，裘亚伊里穆的身体开始蠕动。那是彷佛从内部隆起的脉动。然后、由龙和巨人之类的强者组成的触手向恶魔袭去。
One of them extended towards Suzuki Satoru.
而其中一根向着铃木悟伸了过来。
“[Wall of Skeleton]”
「<骷髅障壁>[Wall of Skeleton]」
The wall that appeared clashed with the tentacle. It was incredibly fast and tremendously massive, but that alone made it a very powerful attack. One could say it was like a car driving straight at him.
出现的墙壁和触手发生强力冲突。压倒性的速度和质量、仅是如此就是十分强力的攻击了。要说的话、就像是车子高速冲过来的样子。
The wall formed of countless bones could not resist that overwhelming destructive power and was destroyed. At the same time, chunks of flesh from the yuriniggers that made up the tentacle scattered in all directions as said tentacle broke through the wall.
无数的骸骨组成的防壁无法承受那份压倒性的破坏力而被破坏消灭。同时形成触手的僵尸们的肉
片在以惊人气势冲突过后四处飞散。
“What!?”
「什！」
“Too late. Time’s up.”
「太迟了——时间到了」
As Suzuki Satoru -- who had been quietly counting down in his head -- said that, the clock which foretold doom had finished a circuit, and both hands once more pointed to the sky.
在头脑里默数着时间的铃木悟念到的同时，宣告着死亡的时钟已走了一圈，再次把指针指向天空。
In that moment -- the world died.
瞬间——世界死了。
The land became a desert. Even the air became a thing of death.
大地变化为沙漠，甚至连空气也变成了已死亡的东西。
Yuriniggers of all kinds -- there were most definitely more than 400’000 of them, and quite possibly more than a million -- rained down on the desertified land. Suzuki Satoru flew back, clearing a large gap between them.
绝对不止于四十万——夸张点甚至可能超过百万的各种各样的僵尸们的尸体如下雨一般倾泻在变成了沙漠的大地之上。铃木悟飞向后方、退后了一大段距离。
The demons needed to breathe, and so that spell had caught them in it and killed them too. But that meant nothing to Suzuki Satoru. That was because Cure Elim’s true form was completely exposed at last.
对于呼吸是必要的恶魔们，这招也把他们牵连了进去死掉了。但对于铃木悟来说这事无所谓。因为终于、裘亚伊里穆的真正姿态，全身完完整整地暴露出来了。
That mass of undead creatures had truly been made in imitation of  Cure Elim’s body. They looked very similar, but his true form looked very graceful in comparison. It was an undead Dragon, with a body like a feline predator, whose legs and neck were both very long.
那个不死者的集合确实是照着裘亚伊里穆的本体形态而做出来的。的确是非常相似，不过跟那个比起来，本体有着非常优雅的姿态。那是一只有着如同猫科肉食动物的肢体，同时有着长长的尾巴和脖子的不死者龙。
At the same time, black bubbles appeared around him, and from them emerged demons of around level 30 or so, Rotting Demons. They were over two meters tall, with tarry black skin that resembled bubbling swamps. The bubbles rose to the surface and burst, releasing a yellow mist. Despite being surrounded by these demons who were wreathed in rot-inducing gas,Suzuki Satoru was not affected, because he was undead.
于此同时、周围冒出了黑色的气泡，从中现出身姿的是30级左右的恶魔，腐败的魔鬼[rotting demon]。那是有着远超2米的身躯的恶魔，粘稠的黑色肌肤上犹如气体涌上沼泽的表面那样，出现气泡，然后破裂消散，此时则会飘出黄色的烟雾般的东西。如此将腐败性的气体缠绕于身的恶魔就在身边，然而铃木悟是不死者、不受任何影响。
There were 32 of them in all.
其数量是32只。
Suzuki Satoru shrugged.
铃木悟耸了耸肩。
“You’ve shrunk, Dragon Lord.”
「变小了呢、龙王」
“--So you were the filth of the Dragon Emperor. That spell… that powerful panoply… I would never forget it…”
「——原来是龙帝的污秽吗。刚才的魔法……那有着强大力量的装备……吾绝不会忘记……」
Its voice echoed with heartfelt hatred. Suzuki Satoru remembered that the Brightness Dragon Lord had said something along those lines too, and kept his eyes trained in Cure Elim. Of course he did not forget to press the button on the bracelet which had his friend’s voice stored in it.
如同从地底回响起的充满怨恨的声音。铃木悟回想着七彩龙王也是这么说的啊，一边盯着裘亚伊里穆。当然、他也没忘记按下手腕上那存着同伴声音的手环上的按钮。
“Don’t you think it’s a bit too late to notice that now?”
「事到如今才发觉不觉得太迟了吗？」
“...Your jester act was truly magnificent. I was completely deceived by your charade.”
「……那弄臣的样子实在是太完美了，还真被你的演技给骗到了啊」
The black bubbles appeared again, and the demons which appeared this time were around level 40,  Supplicants. They had female bodies with long hair and bluish-white skin, and that alone would not make one think that they were demons. However, their eyes, noses and mouths were all sewn up with thread, and their hands were also sewn together as though begging the gods for mercy. There were eight of them.
再次冒出了黑色的气泡，显现身姿的是40级左右的恶魔，恳愿的恶魔[supplicant]。那是有着长发和青白色的肌肤的女性身姿，如果只看这些的话倒不觉得是恶魔。但是、它的眼、鼻、口全部被丝线所堵塞着，两手仿佛祈求神灵的宽恕一样的姿势，也被丝线缝合在一起。它们的数量是8只。
Cure Elim used his foreleg to sweep aside the Rotting Demons that flew at him, killing them in one blow,
飞上前的腐败的魔鬼被裘亚伊里穆用前腿一扫、一击便被杀死。
The summoned demons charged at Cure Elim in unison, as though they had been waiting for that chance. However, Cure Elim trained its crimson eyes on Suzuki Satoru, entirely unmoved, as though it wanted to indicate that Suzuki Satoru was its only opponent. It lashed out with its forelimbs, wings, and tail, destroying the demons one after the other.
似乎是看准了这个时机，被召唤出来的恶魔们一起袭向裘亚伊里穆。然而裘亚伊里穆那真红的眼瞳牢牢瞪着铃木悟，一点儿也没有动摇，似乎要传达出这周围的对手只有铃木悟一个，它用前脚、翼、尾巴，将恶魔们一个个地消灭着。
Cure Elim was completely unaffected by the Supplicants’ “sigh” or the Rotting Demons’ “rotting gas” special attacks. It was probably not just because it was undead, but also because it had resistances to them.
裘亚伊里穆一点也没有受到恳愿的恶魔的‘叹息’、腐败的魔鬼的‘腐败气体’这些特殊攻击的影响，应该不仅是因为它身为不死者，而且更有着对这些的抵抗力吧。
The demons changed over to attacking with magic, but due to the differences in their levels, the damage they did was insignificant.
恶魔们切换成魔法攻击，然而因为等级之差，造成的损伤微乎其微。
As Suzuki Satoru watched all this, he remained as cautious as ever. Originally, Suzuki Satoru had placed Cure Elim in the same category as the Brightness Dragon Lord. It would be child’s play for such a powerful being to wipe out demons like that. If Suzuki Satoru  took a combination attack like that, even he would have taken great to disastrous levels of damage.
目睹那样的光景，铃木悟的警戒度也丝毫没有变化。本来对于铃木悟来说，裘亚伊里穆就是被放在与七彩龙王同等级的位置。那种高度的存在的话干掉这种程度的恶魔简单至极。要是吃上那样的连击就算是铃木悟也要承受到大到糟糕的伤害。
Of course, he had no intention of taking it.
当然、一点儿也不打算吃到就是了。
More black bubbles spewed forth, and the demons which appeared were around level 50 -- War Devils. They were demons who wore full plate armor and looked like warriors. They held bastard swords wreathed in black hellfire, and their black wings protruded through their armor. They actually looked pretty cool, and there were four of them.
又是冒出黑色的气泡，出现的是50级左右——战军的恶魔[war devil]。这是穿着全身铠，有着与战士相称的体态的恶魔。其手握缠绕着地狱之火的黑炎的混种大剑[Bastard sword]，黑色的翅膀以穿过盔甲的形式穿出来。总体感觉是帅气的恶魔。其数量是4只。
Normally, the spell would summon two level 60ish demons and one more level demon of around level 70, but Suzuki Satoru cancelled that and instead chose to summon more lower-level demons instead. And so, there were twice as many level demons ranging from level 10 to 30.
一般来说，在此之后，还会召唤出等级60级左右的恶魔2只，70级左右的恶魔1只，但铃木悟却将其取消，转而选择的是更多地召唤低等级的恶魔。因此、10级左右、20级左右、30级左右的恶魔数量增加到通常的两倍。
This was when the spell’s effects ended.
到此、魔法的效果就消失了。
The War Devils used their skill, which was a commander-type buff which improved the abilities of all summoned demons. However, Cure Elim used its long tail to sweep back and forth, destroying the demons as they pulled away to cast spells. A minor stat buff meant nothing to a high-level Dragon.
战军的恶魔发动了特殊能力，给予召唤的恶魔们指挥官系的BUFF,其能力值得到暂时的上升。
不过裘亚伊里穆用它长长的尾巴来回扫荡，把拉开距离使用魔法攻击的恶魔们消灭。对于高等的龙来说，加强了一点能力值也意义不大就是了。
Cure Elim seemed abnormally calm as it neatly exterminated the demons.
有条不紊地歼灭着恶魔，裘亚伊里穆看起来异常地冷静。
This isn’t good, Suzuki Satoru thought. It would be better if it had continued underestimating him like just now.
不好办啊，铃木悟这么想。要是跟刚才一样小瞧自己该多好啊。
“Now then, time for you to die. Your--”
「那么、就去死吧。以你——」
“--Waitwaitwaitwait, are you really in such a rush? I’d like to ask you something, ah, what’s that, die without regrets part,can’t you even spare that little bit of kindness for me?”
「——等等等等，心急吃不了热豆腐哦？我想问问你啊，那什么、让你了无牵挂地死去吧，这样的慈悲你就没有吗？」
“I have no mercy for your kind, you fools who pollute this world.”
「没有施舍给你们这种家伙的慈悲、污染这个世界的愚货们」
Cure Elim coiled himself up with a whoosh.
飕地一下、裘亚伊里穆把身子缩据起来。
Dragons resembled feline predators in some ways, such as their dextrous movements. Cure Elim’s stance must mean that it was planning to pounce on its prey -- Suzuki Satoru.
龙族有些地方像猫科的肉食动物一样，例如那敏捷的动作。裘亚伊里穆的那个姿势是预备要扑向猎物——铃木悟了。
It would seem it planned to ignore all the demons around it. Of course, that was not a mistake. If Suzuki Satoru were faced with beings that could harm it and beings that could not harm it, then it would be obvious which ones he would be wary of.
似乎它打算完全无视掉周围的恶魔了。当然、这并不是错误的行动。铃木悟自己也是，如果有能造成伤害的存在和不能造成伤害的存在，该警戒谁的问题，说都不用说了吧。
After deciding he could no longer buy time, Suzuki Satoru began goading Cure Elim. While his place was to make his opponent act without being able to calm down, he had the feeling that it would be ineffective, given that his adversary was undead.
判断到没能争取时间的铃木悟开始挑衅裘亚伊里穆。虽然打算是让对方无法冷静地采取行动才这么做的，不过他心里觉得对手是不死者，大概还是没什么效果吧。
“Fuhahaha, where has your smile gone? What happened to your laxity? Take your time--”
「呼哈哈哈、你的笑意哪去了？怎么突然就没有余裕了呢？慢慢——」
Cure Elim’s eyes narrowed in hate.
裘亚伊里穆的双目憎恨地眯起。
“--And savor your destruction, filth of the Dragon Emperor!”
「——毁灭吧、龙帝的污秽！」
And then, as though casting those words behind it, Cure Elim began to sprint, its feet crushing the yurinigger corpses flat. Even so, they did not affect the speed at which he was closing in.
如同把这声丢在身后一样，裘亚伊里穆开始冲刺，它的脚步将地面上僵尸的尸体践踏踩烂，尽管如此也没有被影响到地急速迫近。
The War Devils which had flown between the two of them were struck by its charge and were knocked far away. While they had not been killed in one hit, their injuries were such that they were practically dead.
在二者的对话时候飞出来的战军的恶魔受到它冲刺的撞击，被远远地撞飞了。虽然一击还死不掉，但似乎也受到了打到半死不活般的伤害。
“Oi oi,” Suzuki Satoru smiled as Cure Elim closed in. “I’m not done attacking yet.”
「喂喂」对着迫近的裘亚伊里穆，铃木悟笑道「我这的攻击可还没完呢」
A black orb floated in the air.
空中浮着黑色的球体。
It fell to the ground, as though waiting for Suzuki Satoru to speak.
那东西仿佛正等着铃木悟的话语，落下了地面。
This sudden development led Cure Elim to spring far, far away, keeping its distance from Suzuki Satoru. How had it managed to cancel its previous velocity and suddenly retreat, as if in defiance of inertia?
这突发情况令裘亚伊里穆远远跳开，保持了与悟的距离。那是让人觉得不可思议之前的速度是怎么刹得下来的，如同无视惯性的非常突然的后退。
The fallen black orb ruptured like a bag of water hitting the ground, or like a ripe fruit splitting open. Its contents spilled out, a black, tarry substance that did not reflect the light at all, a sticky black fluid that looked like it would dye anything it touched jet black.
掉落的黑色球体如同水袋落在大地破裂开来，如同熟透的果肉迸裂开来，从落下的地方呈放射状地将装得满满的内容物铺满开来。那是如同煤焦油一般的东西，完全不反射着光泽，无论哪里都会被染成漆黑似的粘液状液体。
It swallowed all the yuriniggers.
那个将僵尸完全吞没。
The black mud-like substance soaked his feet, but Suzuki Satoru was not afraid.
犹如黑泥一般的东西浸到了脚下，铃木悟却完全没有觉得恐怖。
He kept an eye on Cure Elim, who was busy destroying demons Suzuki Satoru made no attempt to attack and seemed utterly at ease.
一边警戒着一边在消灭着恶魔的裘亚伊里穆。与没有做出任何攻击举动、看起来游刃有余的铃木悟。
A tree grew between the two of them.
两者之间生长起了一颗树。
There was one at first, and then their number went up. Two, three,five, ten… they were tentacles, waving despite the lack of wind.
先是一棵、然后那数量增长着。两棵、三棵、五棵、十棵……无风自摇的那些——是生长出来的、触手。
“MEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
“咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩！！”
Suddenly, he heard the adorable bleating of a goat. And it was not just one of them -- it made one think that there would be a whole horde of them.
突然间、听到了似乎是可爱的山羊的叫声，而且并不是一只，仿佛让人觉得从哪儿就会看见一群山羊似的。
As though pulled by that sound, the tarry liquid emitted a hollow moan, and then something seemed to emerge from it.
像是被那声音拉动了一样，煤焦油似的液体发出空洞的呻吟，如同迸发一样现出了什么东西。
Those beings were abnormal, far too abnormal.
那是太过异样，异常过头的存在。
They were roughly 10 meters tall, but there was no telling how much that number would be if he included their tentacles.
大约有10米高吧，要是算上触手就更无法估计有多少米了。
They looked like turnips, but with countless black tentacles in place of their leaves. Their thick roots resembled lumps of flesh, and below them were five legs, like those of black goats.
外表看起来像芜菁。代替叶子的是许多根黑色的触手，肥大的根部分则是疣突的肉块，然后在其下长着类似黑山羊的五条腿。
The root portion -- that is, the lumpy section -- was fissured and split open, in more than one place.
在根的部分，也就是肥大的疣突肉块的部分起了龟裂，哧溜地翻了开来，而且还不止一处。
Even Cure Elim simply watched the proceedings warily. It did not seem to have any intention of attacking.
就算是裘亚伊里穆也只是警戒着眼前所发生的事，看起来没有攻击的意思。
That reminded Suzuki Satory of the Dragon Lord he had fought before.
那个样子让铃木悟想起之前战斗过的龙王。
Ahhh, so that’s it. These guys… they’ve never fought beings on their level before, or at least, not often.
（啊啊、是这样啊。这些家伙……没有与自己同等级的存在战斗过、或者很少吧）
Sensing an opportunity, Suzuki Satoru smiled, and then--
发现有可趁之隙的铃木悟脸上浮起浅笑，这时——
“MEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
“咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩咩！！”
--The adorable bleating of goats came from those fissures.
——可爱山羊的叫声从那龟裂中流传出来。
They were maws that oozed sticky drool.
那是垂流着粘液的大口。
The five fearsome monsters which had appeared were called the “Dark Young”/
完全现出那可怖姿态的5体怪物的真正身份是、“黑山羊幼仔”。
They were monsters that appeared in numbers proportionate to the victims of the spell [Ia Shub-Niggurath].
因为超位魔法<黑暗丰穰之献祭>而造成的死者，与其数量成比例出现的怪物。
While they did not have any potent special abilities, they had exceptional defensive power, and they were over level 90.
虽然没有什么强力的特殊能力，但是它的防御力特别出色。而等级更是超过了90。
“Hoho, this is a high score… Cure Elim, it seems the people you sacrificed for your stupid plan all long for your death!”
「嚯，这是最高记录啊……裘亚伊里穆，看来因为你那无聊计划而牺牲的人们也盼望着你的死啊！」
That was impossible. The dead could no longer have wills of their own.
这是不可能的。已死之人不可能还有意志。
However, that might be possible in this world. The idea that the Dark Young had taken the last wishes of the dead onto themselves refused to leave Suzuki Satoru’s head.
不过、要是这个世界的话说不定会有呢。黑山羊幼仔们集合了那些人的遗愿，这样的念头在铃木悟的心中解消不去。
Their tentacles were extremely long, and they seemed eager for Suzuki Satoru to give an order. Perhaps that was the case.
它们的触手伸得极长，看起来像是迫不及待地希望铃木悟下命令的原因，也许是正因为如此吧。
“--Alright, go!”
「——好、去吧！」
The Dark Young bleated and charged at Cure Elim.
发着叫声的黑山羊幼仔们冲向裘亚伊里穆。
Cure Elim’s tail struck a Dark Young dead center and gouged out part of its body, and its tarry blood spewed forth. However, it trembled for only a moment, and then its thick legs trod the ground firmly, with hardly any decrease in its forward momentum.
裘亚伊里穆的尾巴一击击中了一只黑山羊幼仔，它身体的一部分被打飞，如煤焦油颜色的血液喷发出来。然而它身体的摇晃仅有一瞬，粗壮的腿牢牢地踩在大地上，几乎没有减轻它向前冲击的势头
“What!?”
「什么！」
Perhaps it had thought the Dark Young would have been sent flying, or that it would disappear like the other demons. The Dark Young closed in on Cure Elim as it spoke in a confused voice, and they collided.
是以为会打飞呢，还是以为会跟其他恶魔一样消失掉呢。发出困惑的声音的裘亚伊里穆被黑山羊幼仔们冲近身边，双方身体撞在了一起。
Cure Elim was the one that was shaken.
被动摇的是裘亚伊里穆那方。
The Dark Young surrounded it and made their move, striking Cure Elim countless times with their tentacles, some of them even moving up to bite it.
就这样把它包围起来的黑山羊幼仔们开始行动，触手无数次地击打着裘亚伊里穆，有的也打算上前啃咬。
“Don’t look down on me!”
「别小看吾！」
Surrounded by the Dark Young, Cure Elim twisted and dodged like a cat, using its wings, tail, legs and fangs to counterattack.
处在黑山羊幼仔的包围中，裘亚伊里穆像猫一样扭动着身体一边回避，一边用翅膀、尾巴、脚、牙齿进行反击。
Just then, Suzuki Satoru cast a spell on him. He no longer needed to pretend that he was too arrogant to cst spells. Now, he would seal off his opponent’s choices and lead him onto the path he had prepared.
这时打来了铃木悟的魔法。已经不必再表现出不使用魔法的傲慢姿态了。接下来就要实实在在地封闭对手的选择权，将它诱导进我方准备的路线了。
The spell Suzuki Satoru had cast was [Lopsided Duel].
铃木悟使用的魔法是<单方面的决斗>[lopsided duel]。
It was a third-tier spell. It bound the caster to the target such that whenever the target tried to flee by teleportation, both caster and target would appear in the same place.
这是属于第三位阶的魔法，是就算对手使用传送逃跑，被这锁链连接着的使用者也会一起出现在同一地方的魔法。
It could even ignore the target’s use of [Delay Teleportation] and teleport both of them to the designated location. However, this spell had a fatal flaw. If the target teleported among its friends, then the caster would be brought to the same place thanks to the binding, whereupon he would be surrounded.
就算对手使用<传送延迟>来防守也会将其无视，能同时被传送到指定场所。然而这魔法也有着致命的弱点。如果对方传送到队友中间，由于连锁，这边也会被飞到同样的地方，结果就是被包了饺子。
That was why such a seemingly-useful spell was found in the third tier. Before it was patched, one could cast it on a teammate and piggyback off their teleportation, but after the patch it could only be cast on enemies.
所以虽然是一种初看是满方便的魔法，但是在第三位阶这种低位就能够习得。这魔法在更新补丁前还能施放给队友用来一起传送，而更新补丁后，变成只能对敌人施放了。
Of course, if Cure Elim decided to teleport to the Brightness Dragon Lord or a similarly potent Dragon Lord, immediate escape would be his top priority. As the name [Lopsided Duel] implied, this spell had the advantage that if the caster teleported away, his opponent would not be teleported with him, which made fleeing easy.
当然、要是裘亚伊里穆传送到七彩龙王或者与之同等的龙王那里去的话，马上转向逃跑才是最重要的吧。这<单方面的决斗>正如其名，有着从使用者一方发动传送，对手并不会一起跟着传送过来这点好处，要逃跑的话倒是不难。
Next, the guild staff also cast a spell.
紧接着公会杖也发动魔法。
It was the eighth-tier spell [Dimensional Lock].
第八位阶<次元封锁>[dimensional lock]
While demons, angels and other outsiders often used this ability as a skill, this spell had the same function. This spell prevented instantaneous movement through means such as teleportation outside its area, but it did not hamper physical movement. In order to avoid this, he had to keep an eye on every move that Cure Elim made.
虽然恶魔、天使之类异界的居民将这个作为特殊技术来使用，这也是有着同样能力的魔法。这魔法能将使用以传送为代表的瞬间移动系魔法移动到范围外的动作无效化，不过用自己的脚跑着逃出去倒是能行得通。为了不出现这种情况，也得好好地盯着裘亚伊里穆的一举一动才行。
Cure Elim was within the area of the [Dimensional Lock]. If it tried to escape the area and teleport away, [Lopsided Duel] would take effect.
范围内有<次元封锁>，跑出范围外然后再传送的话有<单方面的决斗>。
Suzuki Satoru and the guild staff had constructed a magical prison. The Dark Young served as a physical prison.
铃木悟与公会杖的协同玩家牢牢地筑起了魔法的囚笼。然后物理的牢笼就是围在周围的黑山羊幼仔们了。
It would seem the Dark Young found the demons attacking them bothersome.
似乎黑山羊幼仔们觉得向自己袭来的恶魔们碍手碍脚。
While they had been summoned by the same caster, the demons summoned through [Armageddon - Evil] were valid attack targets. However that was the reason why summoned monsters could coexist.
就算是同一召唤者的召唤物，对于使用<最终战争·恶>而召唤出来的恶魔来说也是属于攻击对象。当然、正因为如此所以同一施术者的召唤怪物才能同时存在。
Since he could not give orders to the demons, who were not under his control, he had no choice but to instruct the Dark Young to bear wit hit.
因为无法对不在自己支配下的恶魔发号施令，这里只能让黑山羊幼仔们委屈忍让了。
Suzuki Satoru ordered the Dark Young to “bear with it because the demons can’t do you much harm even if you don’t defend against them” and then cast a spell.
铃木悟对黑山羊幼仔们下了、就算你们不防御恶魔们也造不成什么大的伤害所以给我忍着吧、这样的命令，同时发动魔法。
“[Triplet Maximize Magic Reality Slash].”
「<魔法三重最强化·现断>」
The attack spell of the highest order ripped into Cure Elim;s body.
最高位阶的攻击魔法把裘亚伊里穆的身体撕裂。
This was probably the most amount of damage it had taken in all its battles to date, and Cure Elim’s eyes looked like they were trying to burn through Suzuki Satoru.
大概是至今为止的战斗中受到过的最大伤害吧，裘亚伊里穆的赤红眼瞳的眼神像要贯穿铃木悟一样。
The guild staff cast the spell imbued within the Sun Gem -- [Shining Blast].
公会杖那边则启动了蕴藏在阳之宝玉中的魔法——<阳光爆裂>[shining blast]
This was an area-effect attack spell, which did extra damage to evil creatures and the undead, with more damage the lower their karma value was. In turn, as their targets’ karma increased, it would do less or no damage to them.
这是范围型的攻击魔法，对于恶的生物、不死者、善恶值越低的就越有着高伤害，反过来说善恶值越高的甚至无法给予伤害的魔法。
Of course, the Dark Young would also be harmed, being that Cure Elim was in their midst. However, the karma value of the Dark Young was 0, despite their appearances, so they did not take much damage.
当然、以裘亚伊里穆为中心的黑山羊幼仔们也会被伤害到。不过、虽然看起来长得那样子，但黑山羊幼仔的善恶值却是0，没受到什么大不了的伤害。
However, the demons which had taken damage from the area effect began to consider the guild staff as an enemy. However, since the demons were bound by the sole rule of “do not attack your summoner”, they did not attack the staff, which was considered part of their summoners’ equipment.
只不过、被卷进范围里吃到伤害的恶魔中还活着的家伙开始认定公会杖为敌人。然而由于恶魔被“不可攻击召唤者”这唯一的规则束缚着，所以没有一个去攻击作为召唤者的装备的公会杖。
The way the demons redoubled the intensity of their attack on Cure Elim and the Dark Young might make one think that they were venting their frustration.
让人感觉为了发泄这郁闷，恶魔对黑山羊幼仔和裘亚伊里穆的攻击更加的猛烈。
“Ohhhhhhhh! Damn you! Damn you, you filtttthhhhh!”
「噢噢噢噢噢！可恶！可恶！污秽啊啊啊！」
Cure Elim’s voice sounded strained. It was checkmate now. A minor level difference meant nothing as the last piece fell into place.
裘亚伊里穆的声音听起来没有了余裕。现状是将军了。在这步棋子落定面前，一点等级的差距可以无视。
However, it would be a different matter Cure Elim had been a certain exception that Suzuki Satoru knew. It was precisely because Suzuki Satoru knew that monster called a tank, who could make its attacker wonder exactly how it had been damaged that he would not ease up.
不过、如果是那个铃木悟认识的某个例外人物的话就另说了。正因为铃木悟正是认识那个、能让
攻击方不知怎么的居然会受到伤害的那个作为防御职[tank]的怪物，所以才更不会手软。
“[Triplet Maximize Magic Reality Slash].”
「<魔法三重最强化·现断>」
He kept casting the most powerful attack spell he knew because he was determined not to give the enemy time to catch its breath and to defeat it here. At the same time, the guild staff cast a spell.
不断使用最强的攻击魔法，是因为有着用最能造成伤害的魔法不给对手喘息时间，将其在此打倒的觉悟。同时公会杖也启动了魔法
“[Summon Primal Fire Elemental].”
<根源火元素精灵召唤>[Summon Primal Fire Elcmental]
The flames that spiralled into the sky reached a full six meters in height and then slowly condensed into a humanoid shape.
卷起的火焰涡旋足足延伸了6米高，逐渐变化成人形。
This was the best move he could make, by further solidifying his advantage.
增加自己的盘上优势，这是眼下最好的一招了。
While Suzuki Satoru had wanted to do such a thing himself, he could not do so, much to his regret.
虽然铃木悟也很想自己打出这么一招，但很可惜没办法用。
The summoned Primal Fire Elemental worked its way between the Dark Young and punched Cure Elim with flaming fists.
被召唤出来的元素精灵插入黑山羊幼仔中的缝隙，向着裘亚伊里穆挥下火焰之拳。
“[Triplet Maximize Magic Reality Slash].”
「<魔法三重最强化·现断>」
The guild staff cast the ninth-tier divine spell [Crack In The Ground].
公会杖从地之宝玉里发动了信仰系第九位阶魔法<地裂>[crack in the ground]。
Just as Cure Elim was wounded by the [Reality Slash], the ground split open and a fissure gripped Cure Elim’s leg, leaving him stuck there like a animal in a bear trap.
正当裘亚伊里穆被现断所伤时，大地开裂，裂缝将裘亚伊里穆的脚陷住，就那样牢牢地卡在了里面，犹如捕兽夹一般封住了它的行动。
The instant-death effect had not activated, as he had expected. However, the damage over time and movement impediment effects should have applied.
即死效果果然没有发动。但是持续伤害和行动阻碍之类的负面效果应该是生效了。
While he did not know how fissures could form on a desert, such was the effect of the spell.
虽然如何在变为沙漠的地面上产生龟裂是个迷，不过这正是魔法的效果。
I’ve won, no--
赢了、不——
Suzuki Satoru immediately tensed uo in the moment he felt himself relax.
铃木悟绷紧了一瞬间放松的精神。
It was true that Cure Elim ought to be out of options given the present circumstances. Even Touch Me would not -- probably -- be able to break out of this. But it would be a different matter if Cure Elim still had a trump card in store. It was much like the battle with the Brightness Dragon Lord -- Dragon Lords of that level had a super move in the form of Wild Magic. He could not lower his guard yet.
目前的情况下、裘亚伊里穆确实应该无计可施了。就算是塔其·米，要突破这种状况——大概——也是不可能的。但是如果裘亚伊里穆还有杀手锏就另当别论了。与七彩龙王一战时就是这样，那种水平的龙王还拥有着始源魔法这一绝技。现在还不能掉以轻心。
As the guild staff cast its attack spells, Suzuki Satoru observed Cure Elim’s rear, its right, above it, and then put a bracelet on. How well would his own ace in the hole be able to adapt to the circumstances, and what kind of play would his opponent make? This ought to be the moment that determined victory and defeat.
法杖在释放攻击魔法的过程中，铃木悟一直在观察着裘亚伊里穆的后方，右侧，上空，以及嵌入的腕环。自己隐藏的后手究竟会有多少应对能力呢，对方又还留有什么后招呢。现在才是决出胜负的关键吧。
...Keno… I’ll safely return to your side,,,
（……琪诺……我会平安回到你身边的……）




Why, Cure Elim thought in the depths of its chaotic mind.
为什么。裘亚伊里穆在混乱之中思考着。
Why had he been driven to such desperate circumstances despite his immaculate planning? The Dragon Emperor’s filth -- why had he, the most self-sacrificing of the six Dragons that had prepared to annihilate the masterminds who had polluted this world, been forced into a situation like this?
为什么在如此完备的情况下自己还会被逼到这般境地。龙帝的污秽——为了毁灭这污染了世界的罪魁祸首而进行准备的六龙之中，最不惜自我牺牲的自己为何会被逼到这等境地。
The answer was very simple.
答案非常简单。
Cure Elim knew that foes of its level existed, but it had never fought them.
裘亚伊里穆虽然知道有与自己同等的对手存在，但却不曾与其交过手。
In the past, it had avoided entities on the same level as Suzuki Satoru. That was not because it was weak, but because its intelligence had told it that they could not be beaten.
过去——它避开了与铃木悟同等存在的交战。这并不是因为它懦弱，而是它的智慧告诉他那是无法战胜的对手。
It was because it was that smart that Cure Elim had lost the chance to understand and learn. The importance of prior preparation. The right way of using power. The importance of swallowing one’s pride and working with others. It had not understood any of that.
正因为他是如此的聪明，裘亚伊里穆才失去了了解和学习的机会。事先准备的重要性、力量的正确使用方法，以及抑制自我进行合作的重要性，它都没能理解。
Suzuki Satoru and Cure Elim.
铃木悟与裘亚伊里穆。
Those were the differences between these two mighty beings.
两名同等的强者的不同之处就在于此。
While it had been a game, Suzuki Satoru had accumulated vast amounts of experience in battles with his equals, and he understood the importance of fighting with his friends. In turn, Cure Elim knew nothing about these.
虽是在游戏之中，铃木悟也凭借与同等的对手交战积累了海量的经验，并了解了与伙伴共同战斗的重要性。相比之下、裘亚伊里穆却对此一无所知。
If Cure Elim had some relevant experience, it would not have been reduced to this state. It might have been able to kill Suzuki Satoru.
如果裘亚伊里穆能有一些相关的经验的话，就不会落到现在这般田地了吧。说不定就能够杀死铃木悟了。
But -- it did not.
但是——它没有。
Therefore, it was only natural that Suzuki Satoru -- who had analysed his foe’s abilities and made preparations to guarantee his victory -- should be able to triumph.
因此、做了充分的准备——分析了对手的能力、做出了必胜准备的铃木悟会获胜是理所当然的。
However, that was only in theory. One could not simply conclude that in reality.
但那只是从道理上来说，实际的情况却不可断言。
There was also the difference in individual power.
还有作为个体的强弱差距在。
It was just like how an ant could not hope to bother an elephant no matter how hard it prepared. A difference in individual power could become the ultimate obstacle. Dragons were still the mightiest species even after becoming undead, because their basic abilities far exceeded those of Suzuki Satoru.
就如同无论进行怎样的准备，一只蚂蚁都无法撼动一头大象一样，个体的力量差会造成极大的阻碍。即使变成了不死者，龙族依然是最强的种族，那是因为从基础能力上它们就远远凌驾于铃木悟之上。
And True Dragon Lords all possessed a certain mighty power. In Cure Elim’s case, he had been honing that power, preparing to deal with Players.
而且真正的龙王都拥有某种强大的力量，特别是裘亚伊里穆还一边强化这种力量，一边针对玩家进行准备。
That was the reason Cure Elim had made himself this way.
那正是裘亚伊里穆把自己变成这副样子的理由。
Wild Magic.
始源魔法。
The Wild Magic that Cure Elim could use was considered the most vicious of all the spells that the Dragon Lords could cast.
裘亚伊里穆所能使用的始源魔法，即使在所有能使用这种魔法的龙王之中都是最凶恶的。
Naturally, it required a massive price to be paid.
当然、也需要花费巨大的代价。
But as Cure Elim sensed that it would be destroyed if this kept up, it cast the spell.
但是察觉到这样下去会被消灭的裘亚伊里穆还是解放了这种魔法。
Cire Elim’s opened its mouth.
裘亚伊里穆张开了大口。
It was not in the way that a serpent would swallow its prey. Its mouth gradually split open, until the fissure reached its long neck. The split portion hung down, as though to make a gigantic maw several dozen meters wide in order to devour everything.
并不是像蛇在吞食猎物那样。他的嘴角逐渐裂开，一直裂开到了长长的脖子上。裂开的部分垂下来，如同要吞尽一切一般成为了一张数十米宽的巨口。
And then, it spewed forth from that massive mouth.
然后那个从巨口之中喷射了出来。
“Soulbreaker Breath”.
“灭魂吐息”。
It was a Wild Magic spell considered to be on par with the World-Class item Longinus. It was an irresistible power that would discorporate the soul of anything it touched.
那是与被称为屠圣之枪[Longinus]的世界级道具同等威力的始源魔法。是能够让被接触者魂飞魄散的无法防御的力量。
This utterly malignant power consumed everything present.
凶恶的究极之力将在场的一切事物都吞噬殆尽。
