High School Hack and Slash Chapter 70 Part 2
―― ※ Countdown: 00:00:09:59 ――
◇ ◇
The seventh stratum.
This is the final point.
The estimated stratum depth based on the mapping of the outer area should have been over ten stratums.
But well, if you take a look at this uselessly huge shrine, that makes sense.
A fortress to prevent invasion from enemies.
Such an intention is not taken into account at all.
A shrine that is both extravagant and overly beautiful, irrational and absurd, with only yang and no shade.
The meaningless architecture, which is just beautiful and devoid of any functional beauty, is just plain off-putting.
It’s like the SAN value is gradually being shaved off.
「This is, the Holy Tower (Ziggurat) of Ishtar….」
Shizuka, her face pale, mutters.
According to Shizuka-san, who knows her stuff, Ishtar seems to be the name of one of the goddesses in Sumerian mythology.
She is said to be multifaceted, presiding over numerous divinities, and seems to have gathered a large number of believers before Judaism and Christianity were born.
Along with Doggy-senpai, whose fur remains standing on end, and Seiichi, whose expression has stiffened, I head for the shrine.
Originally, I had thought that of the members to face against the goddess in question, Tetsuro-senpai would be included in this group of four.
The standard is the presence or absence of GP.
When we received that incomprehensible magic-like attack, I think the one serving as the resistance counter was GP.
It’s no more than a hunch based on bodily sensation, but in fact I wound up being subjected to petrification after using up all my GP.
「Let’s go.」
From the front, we ascend straight up the staircase that continues on endlessly.
Rather than a shrine, the shape is more of an artificially built small mountain, like the top of a pyramid that has been cut off.
With neither traps nor obstacles, it simply continues on straight to the top.
「Not a single monster is coming out, huh….」
「Which implies that it’s a sanctuary (asylum), I think. It’s just that, I wonder if this shrine exists just for the purpose of praising herself.」
Shizuka, being carried in princess carry as she ends up becoming haggard before long, is sporting a crisp look on her face.
It seems to be more than 500 steps, but I have gone and stopped counting.
Being pushed by the countdown, we run up the stairs.
As we draw near to the top, we can hear the sound of a number of rhythms being played.
As we ascend, an even more meaningless and extravagant shrine spreads out in front of us.
On either side of the stone pavement attached to the end of the stairs, instrumentalists are lining up.
There are instrumentalists playing stringed instruments such as hard koto, flutes such as ocarina, drums, and even one hitting a cup filled with water.
By any standard, it can’t be said to be nice sounding.
The ones playing the crazy music, which is akin to forcing amateurs to play an orchestra, are a countless number of stone statues.
In the center of the shrine, where several stone pillars tower those around them, I see an altar-like pedestal.
Something is moving on it.
The figure kneeling as if praying to the heavens is the goddess whose name is worn down.
Putting Shizuka down, I instead equip my right arm with a huge, rugged hand-guard heavy armor (shield gauntlet) given to me by Mikan-senpai.
It’s a fixed-style shield that attaches to the forearm part.
It’s thick and heavy, with a shape resembling a long and narrow casket about 1.8 meters long.
It also has built-in connecting parts so that it can be added to the Stressor Armor, which is a full body armor.
This is the tank equipment I have asked Mikan-senpai to make since a while ago.
To put it bluntly, it is very heavy.
It’s even heavier than the Shizuka I was carrying.
When I asked Mikan-senpai how much weight it has, she said that: if it’s you, Touma-kun, I bet it’ll be fine, so I had no choice but to say that it’s totally fine.
「That’s….」
Shizuka’s mouth contorts as she starts to speak.
The goddess on the altar is simply dancing wholeheartedly without paying any attention to us.
Her thin lace-like see-through toga is fluttering, and the golden hair dashing against her back is waving about.
Her ass, bouncing with her back remaining turned toward us, is straddling the crotch of someone lying on a pedestal.
The only word suitable to describe the passionate and vulgar hips movement is devouring.
Combined with the glamorous big buttocks, it looks like the western style.
If I were to quietly approach them and launch a full swing on the back of her head as is, I wonder if I’d be scolded for being unable to read the air.
All living thing become defenseless during sex.
As I step forward to try and hit her for a bit as a test, the goddess twists her head and turns around, and her eyes shoot red flash.
「Kuh….」
I hear Seiichi groaning, as if he were about to say, Kill me.
Similarly, I also suddenly feel an intense sexual urge rising from the depths of my loins.
Doggy-senpai and Shizuka are putting themselves on guard, but they seem to be alright.
A status abnormality limited to only male, I guess it’s most likely the 『Whore (Hieros Gamos)』 skill.
The intensely aroused libido is screaming at me to assault the woman in front of me.
My penis, now ending up being erect to the point of being painful, is raising a tent in my pants, rendering me unable to move.
What a terrifying binding attack.
Well, but it’s a status abnormality that can be avoided by unzipping your zipper, isn’t it?
*Staree* The gaze of the exhibitionist goddess ends up becoming glued to my open and impertinent crotch.
The stimulation might be a little too strong for Doggy-senpai.
「Now, O Ishtar, who was made to forfeit her name. It is time for you to receive your retribution.」
I point the fist I once again clench at the exhibitionist goddess.
「……」
「……」
「……」
The silence of the Goddess, Seiichi and Shizuka is painful.
What’s with them, this is a boss battle, so I’d like them to read the air and put a little more spirit into it.
On that point, Doggy-senpai is as expected of her.
She’s glaring at the altar.
The exhibitionist goddess, licking her red lips, raises her body as if she has lost interest in the one she has been pinning down.
A sticky thread connects her buttocks to the meat rod that has slipped out of it.
The goddess, descending from the altar with a sloppy gesture, combs her hair.
Her body, wrapped in a see-through erotic outfit, emanates Eros that seems to envelopes her.
On the altar behind her, the actor who has been playing the role of the meat rod gets up.
Stark naked, well-proportioned muscular beauty.
Leaving the oh-yes-shh-haa goddess aside, he’s a muscle guy who would make one jealous
「… Kaoru, chan?」
Oops, I was so preoccupied with the body that I didn’t notice, but the massive muscle Nudist-san turns out to be Lady Guy-senpai.
With wildly disheveled long hair, his red-tinted eyes glow, shining brilliantly in his downcast face.
Quite the drastic image change he’s got there.
His race is 『Follower』 and on his abilities field, 『Sacred Beast (Therion)』 is newly added.
I see, what a good taste…. So nauseating.
「Kaoru-chan. We’ve come to save you.」
At Doggy-senpai’s words, Kaoru-senpai, raising his head, opens his mouth.
「A, su… ga.」
Kaoru-senpai, arching back with a start, is covered with golden body hair.
*Creak creak* As his skeleton and muscles creak and expand, he transforms into a gigantic beast that we can’t help but look up at.
「Ga! Aah! Aaaaaaaooooo!」
What raises a roar that makes the air rattle and tremble is a lion with its majestic mane standing on end.
「Kaoru, chan…..」
「Aaa… Geez. What a sorry state you’re in. Kaoru-senpai.」
Seiichi, moving behind Doggy-senpai, holds her shoulders as she staggers as if she has been overwhelmed.
「Just for a bit, we’re gonna have him through pain, okay. If we beat him down, he’ll regain his sanity, right? Asura-senpai.」
「Ah… Y, yes. But of course!」
「There you have it, leave this one to us, as for you, go crush her at once! Shadowbind!」
A dagger is thrust under the foot of the giant lion.
It is a ninja skill that binds the shadow in place and restrains the movement of the main body, but against a large opponent its effect is only as good as making them stumble.
「Aaaaaaaaaaaooooon!」
During that opening, however, Doggy-senpai, who raises a roar as she arches back, awakens the 『Watchdog of the Bottomless Pit (Over-Gluttony Gear)』.
Different from the golden colored sacred beast, a giant beast darkens into black and gray color descends.
No matter how you look at it, Doggy-senpai is the villain color.
Giant beast and giant beast facing off.
It has quite the anime feeling to it.
It’s not like I don’t feel like the game is no longer the same.
「Touma-san.」
It’s a great spectacle that’s a shame to miss, but the countdown is pressing.
If we don’t beat the Goddess, the ringleader, into submission, it’d be all for naught.
Paying no heed to the shrine that is being destroyed along with a thunderous roar, the goddess, with the finger of her right in her mouth, is smiling lasciviously.
Her left hand, inserted into her see-through erotic outfit, is touching her genitals in an ostentatious manner.
「Laughable.」
Maybe she’s trying to seduce me, but I’m not aroused by the oh-yes-shh-haa-I’m-coming goddess.
Rather than an open erotism, it’s the chirarism (glimpse) that rouses the carnal desire of youth.
I’m not one to give in to an uncultured person who can’t understand the truth.
