High School Hack and Slash Chapter 118 Part 3
「Rawrrrrrr!」
Even as Veronica – who has turned into a half-beast, half-human – carves a claw mark on the boss, she’s easily swept away.
The combo of bombardment combined with a follow-up attack is probably the result of the combat training they have thoroughly repeated over and over again in the Demon Lord’s Castle.
「Ha, talk about a slutty female tiger!」
She’s a prickly Bitch-chan, but her combination with Veronica is outstanding.
Well, it seems that the leader of the『Zebraheads』 team was originally Veronica, so in term of harmony, the two of them are a perfect match.
Like, she doesn’t like the fact that Veronica withdrew as her way of taking responsibility, after going out of control and ending up causing casualties in the team, well, something like that.
It seems that their relationship was that of a cucumber and a cat, but I don’t understand the complicated stuff.
By means of stickily pressing her through artillery sex, I’m done hearing all about their situation.
Chris Bitch-san, you’re too loose-lipped.
Though, these days, I feel that a prickly (tsun) and flirty (dere-dere) girl is cute, too.
「Have you calmed down?」
「Yeah.」
I wipe my face with the towel handed over to me by Shizuka.
The chilly coolness of the towel is calming down the frenzy that has been making my brain scorching hot.
I get the feeling that my bad habit of ending up going into a frenzy when faced with a strong enemy will end up proving fatal to me one day.
However, the fact that I can’t suppress it even though I know as much is also proof that it’s already beyond help.
「It’s coming, Sera-chin!」
「Indeed! Match the timing!」
The floor sweeping, wide area attack of heat ray released from the gaudily decorated gauntlet is repelled by Otoha-senpai and Serafina, who are holding up their shields.
Although the two would end up falling short if compared to the members chosen as vanguards for the anti-boss battle, they are carrying out their task which is to protect the rear guard without fail.
「Don’t be so happy just because you can make your hand shine-panda.」
As the shields that have been shut together as a single gateway are opened, a girl wearing a panda hood steps forward.
These are gauntlets equipped on both hands, used as a single huge shield.
A heavy, booming blow, unimaginable from Nenene-senpai’s cute physique, is launched at the boss from the front.
The brandished gaudily decorated gauntlet is pushing down Nenene-senpai with roaring blows that are repeated over and over again.
Nenene-senpai, with the shield on her left arm thrust into the ground, pulls the trigger and lets the impact escape into the ground where the pile has pierced.
The figure that continues to confront the boss without wavering or retreating is the cornerstone as well as the leading figure of the battle, even if she doesn’t have any flashy and sparkly skills.
She continues to do what she ought to do, carefully, without getting tired of it, and without making a mistake.
That back of her is both strong and wonderful.
「Witchcraft.」
Mai, extending her hands to the staff that’s thrust into the ground in front of her, makes an oath.
「The iron stake that pierces the saint.」
The countless balls of light floating behind Mai are beginning to materialize, raising a creaking sound.
The power called『miasma』, 『magical energy』, 『mana』 and so on is said to be a universal catalyst of innumerable changes.
The direction of how it should be, even if it’s no more than a figment of one’s imagination, as long as it’s someone who is skilled in the art of manipulating magical energy….
Even if it’s only for a fleeting moment, it can be materialized, no, it should be able to be materialized.
That was the answer Mai arrived at.
「I’m, going to fly again.」
「Yes, Shizu-nee-sama.」
「Millennium Fortress, it is.」
「It ish… Aau.」
The cornerstone to forming a position in the rear guard.
Miharu and Natsumi, plus Rin-chan, invoke ritual magic.
「VOOOOO!」
As if no longer able to bear the grinding that continues on incessantly, the boss leaps and tries to break away.
Just like in Shizuka’s prophecy.
Multiple lays of walls gradually rise in the surrounding area, erecting a barrier that separates the battlefield from the rest of the world.
As opposed to the millennium in its name, it only lasts for a thousand seconds, but it’s more than enough to hold the boss back.
「Be pebbles that condemn the sinless ones!」
Reddish-black rusted iron stakes are shot off at the will of Mai, who wields them like a conductor.
As countless iron stakes pierce the boss’s body, his cry of agony shakes the air.
「Ha! Exposing your dirty ass like that, it’s as good as duck shooting!」
Chris, with both of her hands placed on the anti-tank gun, grins from ear to ear, baring her fangs.
The sub-cannon, which has been built in as a hidden gimmick, releases countless gun barrels like a hedgehog.
I still don’t quite understand the authority (skill) that Chris Bitch-chan has named『Hecatoncheir』.
It’s just that, it seems to be a skill that allows her to put man-made objects under her control and manipulate them at will.
「I’m gonna blast it!」
Chris, surrounded by a phorograph that looks like a visualized radar monitor, shouts, setting off fireworks of flames and roars of explosions.
Even though the boss’s gigantic body, once again falling to the ground, is covered in blue bodily fluids and iron scraps that are biting into it, his muscular flesh is still bursting to the limit.
Even though he’s equipped with a strange gauntlet on his left hand, his nature is probably that of a boss who specializes in physical enhancement.
Saki, squinting her icy eyes, and Tetsuro-senpai, who seems to be enjoying himself to no end, are overflowing with fighting spirit with their swords at the ready without any carelessness.
Not to praise ourselves or to let my guard down, I think this battle is ours to win.
Doggy-senpai, who is probably getting hungry and is heartily stuffing her cheeks with onigiri she has taken out of her rucksack, is probably feeling the same way.
If we continue to chip away at the boss’ SP as we are and tip the scales of the rivaling combat prowess to our side, the battle will be brought to an end in one fell swoop.
We are undeniably stronger than him.
I could already see the answer for that.
— In that case, if that’s the case, you or me, who is stronger?
You want to know that, too, don’t you?
He’s glaring at me with such eyes.
Is it an illusion, I wonder?
However, even so I don’t care.
With『The Ripper (Bhaudhara)』 on my hand, and『Gaki Lord War Casket (Over-Greed Gear)』 on my left.
I walk up to the front of the boss who is waiting for me, just staring fixedly at me without even moving an inch.
「… Touma-san.」
「No need, to interfere.」
The breath I exhale is hot.
*Creak creak* The wire-like muscles are squeaking and the stares that are glaring at me are hot.
「Well, fine by me…. I’ll give him to you.」
「Interfering is an act of the boorish!」
The muscle-brain duo laugh as they sheath their twin swords and tachi.
I do think that the two, who are of the same kind as me, would surely understand.
「Nom nom… I’ll leave him to you until I’m done eating my onigiri.」
「Even if you try to stop of a muscle-brain, they’ll never stop-panda.」
「Good grief. Well, do as you please.」
「Touma-san. Go at it to your heart’s content.」
In a way, this is an execution ground.
However, as long as we’re within in, you and I are equals.
That’s why, to our heart’s content….
「Come now– let’s fight.」
「GOOOOOAAAAAAAA!」
