I was able to confirm that the Evil G.o.d’s control didn’t affect us. Well, the extremely loud voice of the great magic beast was still annoying though, but it was not unbearable.
『We have tried attacking at one focused point and its inside. Next, let’s try attacking its whole body』
「Whole body?」
『We’ll use magic that can cover its whole body. Fran could also help me a little』
「Okay」
『Then, let’s do it!』
We then unleashed Ekato Keraunos, a level 9 Thunderbolt Magic on top of the great magic beast.
「Haaa!」
『Orraa!』
Hundreds of lightning bolts then rained down on top of the great magic beast thanks to the high-level Thunderbolt Magic that was activated simultaneously. The way the electric current charged through its entire body and sparked was nothing short of spectacular.
The great magic beast’s entire body then flickered as it continued to emit intense light. Not only that, but the thunderbolt also flowed through its body into the lake, causing a wide area to be caught up in the flas.h.i.+ng thunderbolt.
「Obebbeey―!」
『We’re not done yet!』
The lightning that was imbued with my Evil Crusher seemed to be working. With that in mind, I continued to rain down 10 more barrages of Thunderbolt Magic to the great magic beast. The total number of thunderbolts that had struck the great magic beast must have exceeded a thousand now.
Then the great magic beast writhed wildly as it received my barrage of thunderbolts.
But just after I thought its whole body had shrunk slightly―――
「Obey mee―!」
The ma.s.s of flesh that had shrunken slightly, quickly swelled at once, and a storm of magic power raged through the air.
『What the h.e.l.l! It used brute force to break out of my attack!』
The great magic beast blew away my magic from its body by releasing a torrent of magic power from its entire body.
The amount of magic power that was released from its body was also tremendous.
We could’ve been obliterated if we got caught up in that storm of magic power. As I’ve thought, it seemed that this great magic beast was really out of the norm.
『Tsk. It doesn’t seem to take much damage from that attack』
「It only got a slight burn…」
『Yeah… It only affected its body’s surface』
However, it could regenerate any wound on its body’s surface in no time. And the magic power possessed by the great magic beast had not diminished much.
『It seems that we should use one powerful attack instead of a lot of smaller ones』
「I see」
「Woof」
But Fran then raised her hand after I told her that.
「I want to try something」
『You want to try something? I don’t want you to do anything too reckless though…』
「Don’t worry」
『…Well, okay』
「Nn! Thank you, Master!」
Her earnest-looking eyes made it hard for me to stop her. But it wouldn’t hurt to let her give it a shot.
『Then? What do you want to try?』
「Nn. Cut it!」
Her answer was simple, but it was worth a try. I’ve tried ramming it with my telekinetic catapult before, but that was the only physical attack I’d tried so far.
「Master need to help me too」
『Ou!』
「Urus.h.i.+, you too」
「Woof!」
『I see, so you want to use that, huh?』
「Nn!」
During her training on the Plains of the Demon Wolf, Fran had developed a special technique not only with me but also with Urus.h.i.+.
The technique was so insane that even I couldn’t keep my mouth shut when I saw them practicing. Well, I didn’t have a mouth though!
I’d tried to stop them from practicing it many times already, but I stopped myself from doing so after seeing Fran and Urus.h.i.+ so happy despite being in tatters.
But thanks to that, they were able to perfect that special technique… They managed to perfect their coordination after several serious injuries that should have caused permanent damage to any normal person.
『I’ll leave the timing to you. I’ll concentrate on strengthening and defense』
「Okay」
「Woof!」
Fran and Urus.h.i.+ then begin to ascend to the sky at once. Our alt.i.tude must have exceeded a thousand meters already by now.
「Brilliant Lightning Rush―― Let’s do this, Urus.h.i.+!」
「Woof!」
At Fran’s shout, Urus.h.i.+ began to ascend further. Fran stayed where she was and reinforced herself.
「Wooo―f!」
Immediately after, Urus.h.i.+ charged straight towards Fran. Using his skills, his speed now was much faster than his ascending speed. And as if he was trying to crush Fran with his huge body, Urus.h.i.+ rushed towards her without slowing down at all.
Then he aimed his paw at Fran and even activated his claw attack technique on it.
But Fran didn’t move her body to dodge him at all.
「Rrhaaaaa!」
「Whooof!」
And instead of evading the attack, Fran turned her back on Urus.h.i.+.
As if to intercept Urus.h.i.+’s paw, she put both her feet together and stuck them out behind her.
If the direction had been reversed, it might have looked like Fran was standing with her knees bent over Urus.h.i.+’s paw pads.
But this time, Urus.h.i.+ was trying to swing down his paw from above, while Fran’s body was facing downward.
However, this was the way to do that technique.
In her usual Sheaths of Wind technique, she would use the momentum of the aerial jumps to gain initial speed, but this time, she used the momentum of Urus.h.i.+’s attack to gain speed.
Using Urus.h.i.+’s power, Fran was launched straight at the magic beast at once. It was as if she had used the telekinetic catapult.
And it was no coincidence. After all, they were really using my telekinetic catapult as a reference.
「Haaa!」
The full power of Urus.h.i.+’s strengthened skills, which were enhanced by my strengthening on her, as well as her martial arts skills, was transformed into propulsive force, and Fran descended towards the great magic beast with the speed of that of a meteor.
With Urus.h.i.+’s a.s.sistance, combined with Fran’s acceleration skills, it was now difficult for anyone to even follow her speed with their own eyes.
Black lightning fluttered in the wake of Fran’s descent.
The distance between us and the great magic beast, which used to be 1000 meters apart, was reduced in an instant.
「――Heaven Judgement!」
「Obeey――」
I couldn’t feel my blade slicing through its flesh. It was probably because her attack was too sharp and too fast. The resistance I felt from slicing it was no different than slicing through a body of water.
I, the one who was slas.h.i.+ng through it, didn’t even recognize what had happened.
When I became aware of it, the body of a great demon beast had been ripped in half from the top.
『Teleport!』
Still, I knew what I had to do next. I activated the short-range teleport that I had prepared to get away from the beast.
