Chapter 332


(332) Sheena No . 3’s smile


Translator: Tseirp


Despair . I almost had no more magical power remaining . To be honest, it was taking all my effort to remain conscious .


Would I be able to defeat another Demonic King Dragon?


That said, I couldn’t just stand and watch .


“Pochi! Let’s go help Suzuki! Let us ride you . ”


“Master, your body ─ ─”


“Don’t worry, I may not be able to use spells but I still have my sword . ”


Although in actual fact, it was taking all my strength to stand .


Nevertheless, I had the highest attack value among all of us .


And only I have the One Strike Instant Kill chance .


I climbed onto Pochi’s back .


“I’ll lend a hand too . ”


Talwi climbed onto Pochi as well .


“ … I will accompany Master too . I am Master’s Guardian Sword after all . ”


Haru rode as well .


She’s such a reliable girl .


We could even defeat another five or ten Demonic King Dragons … well, that was an exaggeration .


Body, please hang on long enough for me to defeat one more .


※※※


Suzuki, Jofre, Elize, Sheena, and Centaur were being chased by the Demonic King Dragon that just appeared from the lake .


They have not been killed by the Demonic King Dragon by now due to Suzuki’s efforts .


“Grand Cross!”




The Holy Warrior ultimate skill Grand Cross that Suzuki released ─ ─ a Light Attribute sword wave in the form of a cross, injured the Demonic King Dragon . It was not a mortal wound but it served to restrain it .


And other than Suzuki, there was another working even harder ─ ─


“You can do it! Centaur!”


“Hang in there! Centaur . ”


Centaur was fleeing while carrying the four of them .


Using the rope that was wrapped around Sheena No . 3’s body, Jofre’s sword and Suzuki’s tomato that he received from me, they were enticing it to run by ‘Dangling a carrot in front of the nose of a horse’ or rather ‘Dangling a tomato in front of Centaur’s nose’ .


It’s speed surpa.s.sed Pochi and it was even slightly faster than the Demonic King Dragon that was flying at full speed .


The distance gradually increased .


Just as I thought that they’ll be able to escape at that rate .


Centaur leaped high ─ ─ causing Elize to fall off .


“Elize!”


Jofre shouted out Elize’s name


“I’m fine so Jofre should run!”


Elize shouted back but Jofre didn’t run .


He pulled the tomato in front of Centaur back and caused it to turn around .


Suzuki didn’t complain either .


Abandoning a girl and escaping was not a choice Suzuki would choose .


“Meteor Blade . ”


Suzuki used a skill .


The Light Attribute sword wave rained down onto the Demonic King Dragon, causing fine cuts .


To put it another way, that was all the damage he could deal .


However, perhaps he realized that they could not flee as he slowed down in order to land .


“It’s sink or swim huh …”


Suzuki muttered and leaped off Centaur and readied his sword, channelling energy into it .


Light began to gather to Suzuki’s sword .


During that time, Jofre forcibly pulled Elize’s hand and pulled her onto Centaur .


“It seems like an amazing skill huh … Elize . ”


“It seems like an amazing skill right … Jofre . ”


Jofre and Elize said together as they looked at Suzuki’s skill .


That skill was the Holy Warrior’s Secret Technique .


An advanced Grand Cross skill that gathers the user’s own magical power in their sword before releasing it .


As he would lose most of his magical power after using it, Suzuki has only used that skill a few times .


He would have gathered all his strength in a few more moments .


But the Demonic King Dragon was flying straight for him .


He would not make it in time .


That was when .


Jofre and Elize, riding Centaur, appeared in front of him .


“Go! Centaur!”


Jofre lowered the tomato in front of Centaur’s nose directed at the Demonic King Dragon .


It seemed as though they planned to body tackle it .


“No, the Demonic King Dragon negates any attack below a certain value! Even if you do that ─ ”


Just as he shouted that, Centaur’s body tackle connected .


The tomato flew into Centaur’s mouth due to the impact and the Demonic King Dragon ─ ─ was sent flying for a couple of meters .


“ … Hahaha, what an outrageous donkey . But it bought enough time . Thank you!”


Suzuki said and released his skill .


“Grand Cross・Neo!”


The strike he released flew over Centaur’s head by inches and struck the Demonic King Dragon dead center .


Suzuki was strong .


He possessed strength to be called the Hero, possessed the divine protection ‘Protagonist Correction’, was pulled into incidents and fought against strong foes . However, when in a pinch, he would be helped by people such as Jofre just now and get the chance to land an ultimate skill .


Just like the protagonist of a novel .


However, this was not a novel .


Reality was a lot harsher than novels .


The intense strike from Grand Cross・Neo blew the Demonic King Dragon away ─ ─ its wings were tattered and it could no longer maintain flight .


But it was still alive .


It took one step, two steps in their direction, its footsteps were as though the footfalls of the grim reaper .


Looking up at the mountain peak, he could see Pochi flying toward them .


However, the Demonic King Dragon’s claw would reach Suzuki before Pochi could .


(At least I have to buy enough time for Jofre-san and Elize-san . )


Thinking that, Suzuki pulled out the last dregs of his strength .


However, a single girl tapped his shoulder .


“Suzuki-san, I want you to pa.s.s this to Master . ”


Sheena No . 3 pa.s.sed Suzuki a metal plate and walked toward the Demonic King Dragon .


Along the way, a single disc fell out but she walked straight ahead without taking notice of it .


※※※


That was bad . Suzuki and the others were going to die at that rate .


We still did not reach within range for Slash .


I didn’t have any strength remaining to use spells .


“Pochi, fly faster . ”


I shouted but I knew that Pochi was flying at maximum speed .


At that rate ─ ─


That was when Sheena stood in front of Suzuki .


“What’s she planning to do!?”


Sheena didn’t have any means of attacking .


She didn’t have any weapons and she couldn’t use magic either .


Despite being an Automata, she didn’t have any beam attacks and she could not transform by combining .


Despite that, why was she walking out?


Was she planning to buy time?


It was pointless, the Demonic King Dragon negates any damage below a certain value . Her attacks would not be able to buy any time .


Or that was how it should have been .


But I recalled something .


『Sheena No . 3 uses a Philosopher’s Stone in her head so my self-destruct power is even stronger than Master’s spell desu . 』


… Don’t tell me!?


Sheena No . 3 looked at me .


She smiled brightly .


And then ─ ─


She ─ ─


After the light dissipated and the ringing in my ears stopped, what remained ─ ─ no, nothing remained at all .


Perhaps she calculated it as the explosion did not reach where Suzuki was standing .


Despite said to possess resistance toward Fire Attribute, that explosion blasted the Demonic King Dragon into pieces .


It was far stronger than my Boost Ancient Nova .


Sheena No . 3 wasn’t lying .


But I wished that she did .


“ … Sheena … that idiot …”


I collapsed on Pochi’s back due to magical power depletion and lost consciousness .
