High School Hack and Slash Chapter 116 Part 3
「Guuaaaaaaaaaaaaah!」
「Shinnosuke!」
Once again, 『Neo Shinnosuke-kun Rev. Zwei』 fells to his knees.
The『Shinnosuke-kun Rev.』 had initially transformed into a giant type, but he had then evolved into『Neo Shinnosuke Rev.』 upon taking in the multi-headed dragon raid boss.
As his transformation progressed even further, he was gigantified, turning into a monster with countless dragons sprouting from its back.
Furthermore, his body, which had transformed during the battle against the Envy Mask and turned into『Neo Shinnosuke-kun Rev. Zwei』, has been gigantified even further.
The direction of his transformation has too bad of an affinity with the authority of Envy.
「Damn, damn, damn, just why, why can’t I win?!」
Shinnosuke-kun roars in frustration, but I think his gigantification power-up is a mistake.
He’s unable to support the weight of his huge body.
This is the first time I’ve seen the authority (skill) of Envy, but how should I put it, he’s an opponent I don’t want to fight.
It’s not a cool cheat-like skill such as manipulating gravity and the like, but simply piling debuffs on top of debuffs like a demon.
When I take a look at Shinnosuke-kun through the Interface, I can see an endless stream of abnormal status messages such as weariness, weakness, fatigue, bewilderment, flaccidity, exhaustion, chills, and so on.
As a price for being able to penetrate even the resistance of a boss-class monster and soak it with debuffs, it seems that the Envy Mask himself is suffering from the same debuffs.
Rather than an attack, I think this is more like a『curse』.
He’s carrying the phrase「your curse for others will rebound to you」 into actual practice.
Compared to the Envy Mask, who is feigning stoicism, Shinnosuke-kun, whose body balance has gotten loose due to the forceful power-up, seems as if he’s self-destructing.
「Damn it, Tatsuya! I’ll kill you! I will never lose to you!」
「Shinnosuke… I’ve always been envious of you, you know.」
「You’ve got to be kidding me, you bastard…!」
「I’m not kidding, you see.」
A mysterious masked man and a mysterious transformed monstrous human.
The visuals may look like something out of a special effects movie, but this is just a fight between two men.
「I was jealous of you, who could have sex as you pleased. I envied you, who could have sex with Yuka-chan, Honami-chan, and the other girls in our class as you pleased. The one I was envious of more than anyone else was you, Shinnosuke.」
「If that’s the case, why the hell does each and every one of them depend on you?! Just why is Riru-chan by your side?! Say, Tatsuyaa!」
「… It sure makes me embarrassed to hear this kind of thing. So immature, or rather, how should I put it….」
Seiichi, who is eliminating the monsters that come near us, puts it bluntly.
Our job is to crush the monsters that are trying to interfere with the one-on-one fight between the Envy Mask and the boss.
「The reason for a fight is generally something immature, isn’t it?」
「Well, I guess you’re right.」
I wonder if Chris Bitch-chan, who is trying her best to shoot a beam, has given up on her attempt to escape.
Or rather, as long as she doesn’t get in the way, I don’t mind letting her go, though.
「Damn it aaall, I’m going to crush you!」
「Come on, bring it on. Shinnosuke! Toss aside the like of monster power and come at me! You won’t be satisfied if I crush you so easily, right?! Or are you afraid of me?」
「Damn it… Damn it all I ain’t afraid of the like of youuu!」
Raising a roar, 『Shinnosuke-kun Omega』 rushes toward the Envy Mask, who thrusts his main weapon, the harpoon, at his feet and spreads his arms.
Talk about Hollywood-esque, cliché enemy character moves.
The monster-like gigantic body, which was removed from humanity, is also turning back to be considerably humanoid-ish.
This is probably the laws of the『Lore (Legend)』 world at play.
That’s because a『Lore (Legend)』 type other world (raid) is in short a world composed of『cliché』, after all.
If he has calculated it all, then Tatsuya is also quite the schemer himself.
And then, the Yankee group, who are whistling and going hyahha with their tension at the max, are noisy.
The unsophisticated fistfight, which is carried out while shouting 「Uooooh」, doesn’t look like a raid boss battle at all.
The culled small fry monsters have been exhausted, and there’s no one who interferes with the one-on-one battle either.
「Shinnosukeeee!」
「Tatsuyaaaaaaa!」
I hope he’d call him the Envy Mask there.
They are exchanging fists while spitting out all sorts of things, such as that one has snatched the other’s woman or that one has his woman snatched by the other, that one asks the other to return the manga he lent or that the other has already returned it, that one doesn’t like the other’s face, and anything else that comes to their minds.
「Hmph. Regardless of the countries, guys being idiotic are all the same everywhere.」
Bitch-chan, who seems to have given up on trying to shoot out a beam, goes「good grief」 as she shrugs her shoulders.
I won’t deny that remark, but acting like an idiot also poses a considerable degree of difficulty.
「Uoooohh!
「Guaaaaa!」
The fists that become cross-counters distort the faces of the two.
One of them slowly falls to his knees.
「Damn… it, this is why, I don’t like you. Tatsuya….」
「But I don’t hate you… Shinnosuke.」
*Hmph* Snorting, 『Shinnosuke-kun』 falls on his back, exposing his beaten up and swollen face.
The beaten up is true of Tatsuya as well, but the Envy Mask is protecting his pride.
The Yankee group, blowing whistles with their fingers, are so noisy.
Now then, even as I look at Shinnosuke-kun through the Interface, it shows that he has returned from being a boss monster to a human being, but it doesn’t seem like the raid conquest is complete with this.
A mysterious crystal detached from Shinnosuke-kun’s body is twirling and floating in the air.
It’s a deep blue tesseract similar to a monster crystal.
That thing seems to be the core of this other world (raid).
I can’t deny that other than the Yankee group and Tatsuya, we’ve also let our guard down as we feel that everything is already over.
Thump! The unstable crystalline body flickers.
Whether because it was extracted from the boss in an irregular way, or because it’s an unstable crystal of power from the start.
It’s in a critical state, as if it would explode at the slightest stimulation.
I guess Seiichi and I would not suffer much damage.
However, it seems to contain enough power to evaporate the American group, who have been here watching the spectacle.
Tatsuya, who is standing in ground zero, has ample time to break away.
If he doesn’t step forward and try to shield Shinnosuke-kun and the American group, that is.
「Tatsu, ya…!」
Without a doubt, the fear of death penalty as well as pain that comes with physical injury must have not registered in his mind.
It must have been a conditioned reflex.
However, that’s the so-called『nature』 of Tatsuya, and is probably the reason why Shinnosuke was envious of him.
「Jē’zəs….」
「Ō mī ɡäd….」
Therefore, unlike the American group who are letting out murmurs in a daze, I’m not that surprised.
The torrent of light and destruction that gushes out of the exploding crystalline body is taken on by the Envy Mask who is standing in its way.
The『thing』 that has been vaguely forming in front of his arm is rapidly taking on substance.
An item arranged by the laws of the other world (raid) for heroic action.
It’s a circular Round Shield.
Captain Envy, holding the red-rimmed shield, roars and holds back the explosion to the end.
The Yankees’ captain call is very annoying.
A star symbol is twinkling on the shield Captain Envy is holding up.
