『FOoLs!!』

The King Odan.o.bunaga ran towards Kazane and Sieg.

「That one"s Sieg"s. If possible, kill it!」

「I shall strive to do so.」

The summoned Sieg said as he glared at the enemy he was entrusted with. Kazane"s request to defeat it before it became a True Odan.o.bunaga was a herculean task, even for Sieg.

Unlike the Black Rock Dragon, who was specialized in defense, the King Odan.o.bunaga was specialized for interpersonal combat, so it dodged and blocked with its sword. It was an issue of compatibility. Yuuko-nee might have been able to blow it away using powerful spells, but the warrior Sieg couldn"t do that. But currently, the only thing Sieg could do was battle it a little better than equally.

And leaving the incoming King to Sieg, Kazane headed to challenge the Queen Odan.o.bunaga with Jinrai and Yumika. It had a large body, so its attacks were correspondingly bland. Unlike the King, who had unusually high swordsmanship skill, it was an opponent that was manageable by challenging with multiple people, just like the Black Rock Dragon. Although, that was only relatively speaking...

『CoUlDn"T wE JUsT UsE tHE TErM TS iNsTEaD oF GEnDeRSwAPPeD wHeN A WArRInG STaTeS CoMmAnDEr iS DEpIcTeD aS fEmAlE? NoT aT aLL!』

A tremendous shockwave was released by the Queen"s scream.

「Nuu, what a guy!」

「Jinrai-san, let"s go with the Railgun!」

「Leave it to me!」

Jinrai replied to Kazane"s words. Then he took three steel bullets out of the bag on his waist and clutched them with his right prosthetic arm. They were sucked into the palm of his hand.

「They"re loaded. Yuuko-nee, let"s go with rapid fire.」

「Nyaaa」

After doing special training several times, Yuuko-nee could now withstand bullets that were small enough to be loaded in the palm. The same went for Jinrai.

「Eat this, monster!」

Then the thunderous roars of 3 shots reverberated. The sound of them hitting wasn"t heard. Immediately after, Jinrai tutted, and Yuuko-nee carrying Jinrai dashed backward. The Queen"s claws cut through the air.

「It moves that huge body well.」

Kazane also made a surprised expression at that situation. The Odan.o.bunaga Queen had evaded Jinrai"s Thunder G.o.d Cannon and immediately swooped down on him. Jinrai also couldn"t properly move directly after firing from the shock. Without Yuuko-nee"s quick-wittedness, he likely would have been killed.

(However, evading that is...)

Kazane ground her teeth as she looked around. She had used High Heal on Yumika"s injured left arm to lightly heal it, but a complete recovery would require proper healing at a calm place and time. However, even though she was injured, fighting without Yumika would be tough. The silver wolves except Kuromaru had already been sliced up and had their summoning cancelled. And Kuromaru was also barely able to partic.i.p.ate.

In comparison, while Jinrai was weakened from fatigue, it seemed he still had some leeway. However, it seemed difficult for Jinrai"s mount, Yuuko-nee. Blood was dripping from places where she had been damaged, and her movements were growing dull.

Tatsuyoshi-kun Dragoon was working well as a shield.

And it seemed the Berserk Ogre was putting up a better fight than expected. With kamikaze attacks ignoring defense. That was possible due to his feather Boost and high defense.

However, even with all that, they were still only barely managing to hold on. As time pa.s.sed, the equilibrium would eventually be destroyed. Kazane wanted to cause damage before that happened.

「Everyone, withdraw, I"m going to use a powerful technique!!」

Kazane decided she should fire that here, and all members immediately fell back after she spoke. Kazane focused on the engagement ring on the ring finger of her left hand and drew out the rainbow brilliance from the crystal. When the Queen saw it, she instantly sensed that the light was『something dangerous』. Judging that something dreadful was there, the Queen immediately leapt towards her, but『THAT』manifested faster.

『GUoOOOOOOO!!!』

And a dragon appeared from the rainbow light emitted by the ring.

With both hands, he immediately tightly grabbed the Queen who was trying to attack Kazane and roared. That dragon"s ident.i.ty was the pinnacle among the dragons that possessed rainbow-colored Dragon Spirit: G.o.d Dragon Emperor Naga. Then Kazane raised her fist to Naga and shouted.

「My husband, Full Burst, gooo!!!

At Kazane"s signal, rainbow light shone from all of the crystal horns on the G.o.d Dragon Emperor"s forehead and body and simultaneously fired.

G.o.d Dragon Emperor Naga"s strongest attack, the most powerful radiation attack called『Sevens Ray: Overkill』in Zexiaharts. Light from all seven attributes attacked the Queen and instantly blew her body away.

And as soon as the radiation ended, Naga"s body disappeared as light particles.

The ring that summoned G.o.d Dragon Emperor Naga was the Rainbow Dragon Ring given to Kazane by Naga. It was the Core of G.o.d Dragon Emperor Naga"s pulverized Rainbow Heart. Naga"s power from his heyday was recorded in the Core, and the ring"s effect was summoning that version of him for a short time.

The effect was as was seen. It was similar to a cla.s.sic RPG summoning ability where a summoned creature would do an attack then immediately disappear.

However, it used the Dragon Spirit supplied and stored by the Core itself, so it couldn"t be used again during this battle. The power was as was seen, but 10 days of acc.u.mulation were necessary to summon that level of power again.

「It has fearsome power, but...」

Jinrai was also surprised by that power, but he frowned as he looked at the creature that was calmly squirming after being blown away.

That wasn"t to say that it was ineffective. Some of its legs were torn, and its sh.e.l.l was covered in cracks. However, it wasn"t enough to s.n.a.t.c.h away the Queen"s mobility.

Kazane hadn"t expected to settle it with a single blow, but she was fl.u.s.tered to see that the damage was less than she had expected.

The Queen"s movements weren"t weakened yet. Kazane wondered if things with the King were going better and turned her gaze to the battle between Sieg and the King.

(Sieg as well... as expected, he hasn"t been able to whittle it down?)

In a place a little away, an abnormally closely fought battle was unfolding between the King Odan.o.bunaga and Sieg. Even Jinrai, who shouldn"t have had time to spare, was reflexively fascinated, and he moaned「Hou.」He was almost hit by an attack immediately after that, and Yuuko-nee vehemently protested.

(…… At worst, I"ll have no choice but to summon THAT, but...)

And the thing Kazane called THAT in her mind was her second character. Kazane"s darkness ruling Majin, the Shinigami from the depths of her black history.

But she wanted to keep that as a last resort. THAT was liable to swallow up her companions in its attacks without compunction. That monster was born when Naoki ignored Kazane due to p.u.b.erty-specific abnormalities, so he in particular was at risk. There was the fear that it might even target Naoki.

Though if Sieg disappeared due to running out of time, their annihilation was certain if she didn"t bring it out. And while Kazane was struggling with her hesitant feelings, things finally began to move.

「Ahーwe"re already out of time!?」

Kazane shouted when she sensed the situation, but it was too late. The moment Sieg severed the King"s left arm and it flew into the air, the Queen finally roared. Then the King jumped away from Sieg and started running toward the Queen. With that action, there was no longer any doubt.

「Not good. The male and female will become one!?」

Yumika"s eyes opened wide after Kazane spoke.

「King and Queen, male and female becoming one!?」

「Becoming one, becoming one!? Male and female becoming one is that, isn"t it?! Male and female!!」

Jinrai also shouted with an amazed expression. (TL: The word they"re using can mean union/amalgamation as well as copulation. Thus, s.e.x joke.)

Because male and female come together. Thus, they become one. The male and female would unite, with the King entering the Queen"s body, and they would change into a True Odan.o.bunaga, which had a figure that was half humanoid and half insect.

The name was Dairokuten Maou Odan.o.bunaga.

The strongest armored insect, it was over level 200. It had overwhelming mobility, and it would slash through everything with claws that were further strengthened and lengthened to become like zanbato. When that was about to be completed right before their eyes,

「Berserk Ogre, cancel! And Berserk Ogre, resummon!!」

Kazane suddenly unsummoned the Berserk Ogre and immediately summoned him again. The location was between the King and Queen.

「GUoOOOOO!!!」

Then the Berserk Ogre thrust his right hand into the Queen"s unioning hole. He furthermore firmly seized the part of the King"s abdomen that was trying to enter the Queen. The King and Queen both screamed.

「Ha, that"s right, isn"t it? It"s not a game, so we don"t have to wait for them to become one.」

Believing that momentary intuition, Kazane had resummoned the Berserk Ogre. However, such a feat was only possible because of the irregular Berserk Ogre that could be instantly summoned anywhere. But if she could deal with it, there was no reason to hold back.

「Berserk Ogre, Fireball. Throw!!!!」

Through the Aim Bracelet, Kazane activated the Skill she had acquired from a Dragon Bear. Then the Berserk Ogre released a Fireball from the right hand that was stuck in the unioning hole of the Queen and burned away its insides. That power, combined with the acc.u.mulated damage from the attacks like Sevens Ray, exploded the Queen"s abdomen.

「GUooOOOOOOOO!!!」

Furthermore, the Berserk Ogre threw aside the King Odan.o.bunaga and used that hand to snap the Queen"s neck. With its insides destroyed, the Queen had gone limp, so it had no power to resist its neck being wrung.

The thrown aside King Odan.o.bunaga was enraged at the atrocious appearance of its mate. It shrieked as it raised its zanbato-like claw overhead and recklessly attacked the Berserk Ogre. Even with his dragon scale defensive power, the Berserk Ogre was instantly torn apart.

The Berserk Ogre screamed as the summoning was canceled, but the Queen had already died. After confirming that the Queen"s Skill had been acquired, Kazane shouted.

「The Berserk Ogre killed it. Sieg, Jinrai-san, Yumika! Launch a concentrated attack on the King!!」

「「「Aye!!」」」

They couldn"t afford to miss this chance. Everyone responded to Kazane"s words and recklessly attacked the King Odan.o.bunaga. Unlike the previous jet black sh.e.l.l, the opposing King"s carapace now emitted a golden radiance. The katanlike claw that was less than 2 meters long had turned into a giant zanbato about 3 meters long. It was Dairokuten Maou mode itself. By all rights, the energy supply for that transformation should have come from the Queen, but that was no longer possible.

However, the King Odan.o.bunaga remained transformed as Dairokuten Maou and challenged Kazane and the others. It was the enemy"s last stand. The King emitted a dreadful intimidating air that seemed like it could reap their consciousness if they lost their concentration for an instant as it a.s.saulted them with its sword.

(Is it planning to fight until it uses up all its strength!?)

Kazane honestly praised the King"s resolution. The power of Dairokuten Maou, which could only be formed with the Queen"s enormous magical power, was not something the King could handle alone. The current King would run out of magical power in a matter of minutes. But the monster in front of them wasn"t afraid, and its sword speed didn"t falter at all as it challenged them.

Therefore, Kazane took a step back from the battle line. She couldn"t oppose those resolute slashes. And it was the same for the current Yumika and Kuromaru. Fighting against those slashes while bearing injuries was difficult. Judging that they would likely only be impediments if they fought, they had no choice but to regretfully withdraw. Also, Tatsuyoshi Dragoon was blown away by the first strike. Small fry.

And now, the only ones remaining before the King were Sieg and Jinrai.

To match Jinrai, Sieg transformed the Great Wing Sword into its spear form, which was called『Supreme Wing Spear』. Sieg possessed the『Varied Martial Arts: Acme』Skill, so his mastery extended to the spear as well as the sword.

Thus, three spears danced in that place and gradually cut up the King Odan.o.bunaga. They didn"t wait for the enemy to run out of magical power. During the battle, Jinrai also took off his prosthetic arm and started fighting with only his real left arm. He was faster and sharper than when he used the prosthetic arm. With his plain self, using only one spear, his body reproduced the moment he defeated Rynox. Archduke Rynox, the man called Spear Saint, christened that power『Unicorn』, and it was now being demonstrated. It would only last a short time, but the skillfulness displayed was on par with Sieg, who had reached the peak of martial arts.

No matter how tenacious the opponent, they were no threat before that power. The King Odan.o.bunaga was challenged by the two at the pinnacle, and it was whittled down until its head was detached and its armor was pierced to its Core.

It was so quick that Kazane"s eyes couldn"t follow what had happened. It was so fast that even G.o.d Wolf Transformed Yumika could barely grasp that something had happened.

And before the pair"s strongest, the King Odan.o.bunaga collapsed.
