Chapter 303: An Unforgivable Flash
As always, the problem is his absorption ability.
The Barbarian Armor has Absorb Resist (Medium), so luckily, my magic didn’t fall to zero.
… I can’t deny the possibility that he can absorb SP as well.
It’s not that I wouldn’t be able to manage, but I think my Spirit Turtle Shell was just barely able to take that last attack.
I don’t have to rely on Wrath yet… but I don’t know what option to choose.
Hmm?
Oy… could it be that whenever this attack is released, its recovery hastens?
That one seems that it’ll take a while longer before it fully recovers, but this is an annoying ability.
“Cut at it before it can heal itself!”
“I’ll try.” (Itsuki)
On my orders, the attacks resume.
There’s a large difference between the Spirit Turtle battle, and this one.
That one took forever, but this one doesn’t seem that it’ll take too long.
That troublesome attack is… dangerous, but I’ll try withstanding it with my Soul Eater Shield.
Good, I hold down Houou, as I pop a Lucor Fruit in my mouth to recover my magic.
And I cast All Revelation Aura once more after it wore off.
“Master~” (Firo)
Firo looks upon me from above.
“I need more power~” (Firo)
“Yeah!” (Firo)
I control the Filo Rial Familia parasiting off of my body, and toss one at Firo.
And it transfers its power to Firo.
“Thank you~” (Firo)
Firo spreads out her feathers, and rushes at the Higher Houou.
Can’t I do this to the Filo Rials supporting us in the rear?
By what I’ve seen, Filo’s followers like… Piyo, was it… are in the back casting support, so if I give them these Familia… their output should increase. But that’s only if it works.
“Pii!”
As if sensing my intent, the Familia exit my body, and run towards Piyo at a high speed.
Good, this one’s for regulating magic.
Next is… Should I use Come on, Raph?
I slowly look at Raphtalia.
“What is it, Naofumi-sama?” (Raphtalia)
“Didn’t you already bring them with you!?” (Raphtalia)
Yeah, that’s right.
What’s more, I can’t have those guys get killed off for no reason.
… yeah.
“Gaelion!” (Naofumi)
“Grab Ren, and go attack the higher altitude one.” (Naofumi)
“We have enough firepower here. Go assist in weakening that one. Once you think that one’s about done for, release a skill in this direction.” (Naofumi)
“Got it.” (Ren)
In accordance with my words, Gaelion and Taniko descend.
Its recovery is annoying, but taking care of the higher one is tougher.
The lower one has a higher recovery rate, but it’s not that strong, it seems.
Ren hops on Gaelion, and flies off.
The Queen and Sadina’s large scale magics didn’t have much of an effect, so that’s likely the case.
Perhaps she sensed that I thought of something. Shadow appears before me.
“By the Queen’s analysis, we wish to try hitting this one with covenant magic-gojaru.”
Oh? If it isn’t the one I know. Where did she go?
But I can figure that out later.
“Got it! Everyone separate from me! A large Scale Magic is headed this way.” (Naofumi)
“What about you!?” (Atlas)
I hear Atlas’s voice, and turn to it.
“I can stand it. When the magic is over, we’ll continue attacking again.” (Naofumi)
“I’ll be fine. More importantly, hurry and get away.” (Naofumi)
“… Why are you always like that?” (Atlas)
Fohl has a fed-up expression, as he drags Atlas away, with Raphtalia.
A tornado made of water comes down on me from the sky.
Gu… I can stand it, and it doesn’t hurt or anything. But I can’t breath.
“KYUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!?”
The high-pressurized whirlpool lasted around 30 seconds, but I wonder if Houou took any substantial damage.
As I thought, the lower one was weak to magic.
For now, I think I can see the ending.
“KYUIIIIIIIIIIIIII!”
The lower one changes its body to fire, and tries rushing again.
The attack scorches bits and pieces of my body, and I feel that I’m going to lose consciousness.
It’s a hard attack to take from the front.
After the rush ends, I take a deep breath, and wait for the supports to cast recovery magic on me.
And I check whether or not the higher one is going to fire his laser.
… Yeah. It seems that if the lower one doesn’t take any magic, he can’t use it.
The problem is that the lower altitude one’s recovery didn’t stop, though. I guess that was unrelated.
We can do this. At this rate, we should be able to kill him.
If we just whittle down the lower one, and crush them together, we’ll win.
“Okay! It’ll be over soon!”
It was at the same moment I declared that.
… I would never forget the events that unfolded.
-From the very back lines, a long stream of light… something pierced the greatly weakened higher Houou.
“Wha-“
We should have waited to inflict a fatal blow, I mean, the lower one had just recovered HP, so why…
It was farther back than our armies extended. Way in the distance.
What the hell was that!?
No, now’s not the time for that.
“KYUIIIIIIIIII”
As if it had burned away to nothingness, the higher Houou vanishes, leaving nothing but its feathers.
The remaining feathers flutter in the wind, and scatter over the land.
This is bad…
Even though we know the lower one is weak to magic, we can’t take it out immediately.
Having regained our senses, we turn our eyes to the remaining Houou.
“KYU-”
It suddenly stopped moving altogether.
And…
Gobo…
A distorted and peculiar sound reverberated through the air.
Magic and heat condensed around it.
“Everyone attack it at once! Quickly, we need to kill him as quickly as possible!”
We don’t even have the time to retreat. It’ll blow up in seconds.
We have to kill it before that, or the area will become a sea of flame.
「Meteor Sword」! 「Gravity Blade」! 「Hundred Sword」!
「Meteor Bow」! 「Bird Hunting」! 「Spread Arrow」!
Without even taking a breath,the heroes let out consecutive skills.
「Erst Throw」! 「Zweit Throw」! 「Dritte Throw」! 「Tornado Throw」!
「Tiger Break」!
“Naofumi-sama! We have to kill it quickly! Tei!”
Atlas quickly starts pricking Houou’s vital points.
Eroding my Heart? Like I care!
Giant Dragon Gaelion seems to understand the situation. He shoots a magic breath at Houou
「Prominence Dark Nova」!
With Taniko’s assistance, he immediately releases his strongest breath.
“Pierce through! 「Shield Prison」! 「Change Shield (Attack)」! 「Iron Maiden」!”
Right after Gaelion’s breath hits him, I bind him in my Shield Prison.
And using all of my remaining SP, I summon an Iron Maiden. It shatters the chains of my Prison, and eats Houou whole.
“Haa… hah… ha…” (Naofumi)
I take out and drink some Spirit Water just in case. I wait for the Iron Maiden to wear off.
“D-did we do it?”
“S-somehow.”
Everyone is out of breath after that extreme barrage.
With this…
Snap…
Inside was a swelling Houou, that had gotten too large to contain.
Gu… the cooldown time is…
“Damn! We can’t be killed off here.”
In order to prevent further casualty, I’ll stain my hands with the move that I was still recovering from.
「Blutopfer」!
I immediately chant, and release my Curse Skill.
Gu… blood spouts from all over my body.
“Naofumi-sama!?” (Atlas)
“Naofumi-sama!” (Raphtalia)
Ren, Motoyasu and Itsuki didn’t have the confidence to use their curse skills without getting swallowed by their curses.
Then I just have to do it myself.
Good!
From the ground, a tiger trap that resembled the mouth of a raging dragon emerged, and closed on…
“Wha!?”
With a bang, Houou burst!
I sway back and forth, as I step in front of everyone. In order to contain the explosion, I use the skill I thought up with Atlas, Collect.
At the moment, if we get hit by this, everyone besides me will probably die.
I can’t stand down.
Where Houou was standing, is now a ball of fire as brilliant as the sun.
At the same time, far, far away… the flames could be seen, even from Melromark.
