Chapter 69 – #17 Magical Girls Believe in the Power of Bonds (7)
――――――――――!
“Nyaaaaa!”
The gigantic light wave fired from the bull-headed giant and the translucent protective shield of the cookie that blocked our way collided, pushed back, and fought against each other as if in a contest of strength.
Sparks flew, and the light of the light wave brightly illuminated Cookie’s face as if she couldn’t lose.
But that time is also very brief.
“Aaaaa!”
“Quaaaaa!”
Clink-! With a high-pitched scream, the protective shield was shattered and shattered, and the light wave emitted by the giant engulfed Cookie and us.
My eyesight turned white.
* * *
“Ah… Uh.”
I heard someone’s moaning.
In my dizzying vision, I realized that this was the 〈 Mera Studio 〉 corridor.
Apparently, the light wave with a terrifying amount of heat was not enough to engulf us, and it seems that it even pulverized the pile of stones blocking the passage behind us.
“Hey, hey, are you okay?”
“…Alpha?”
Alpha came close to me and patted my cheek without hesitation. Oops, I’m dizzy.
“…We are not dead.”
Yura and Blue are also scattered like garbage, but they are still alive and wriggling.
Alpha showed a pocket watch with the number “8” On it.
“I was able to survive thanks to Cookie’s noble sacrifice. It has changed drastically.”
“I see, I will never forget Cookie’s sacrifice… For at least two days.”
“Great. I think I’ll forget it the moment I buy limited goods for 〈 Witch Girl 〉 today.”
“Sisters, really…”
Yura, who had been sprawled out, whimpered and stood up. Reaching out her arm, she yanked out a cookie that had been rolling with the wreckage near her.
The tattered cookie had half of his body charred, and one arm had been completely ripped off. He doesn’t even flinch whether he’s really dead or not. No, I lived the last time I had my stomach pierced, and I’m not going to die to this extent. I want to believe that
First of all, in case you don’t know, join hands and observe silence. Thanks, Cookie. I lived thanks Good bye. I don’t know if I’ll go to heaven, but I’ll pray for you. But go straight to hell. It shouldn’t be like this.
“What are you going to do now?”
“It’s only because of Cookie that it’s hard to run away~.”
It seems that it would be faster for this dungeon to collapse by the hands of giants than to reach the outside through the maze-like dungeon road.
I touched the cookie in Yura’s hand again. A tattered, scarred body.
Whether it’s a headache or hypnosis, why the fairy is helping us… Judging from Cookie’s attitude a little while ago, it was obvious that he was hiding something. You hid it in the first place, and the reason I started working as a magical girl was because of Cookie’s ridiculous threats, so I’m resentful of this and that anyway.
But at the same time, I’m not too dissatisfied with working as a magical girl. Rather, it’s nice to have a source of income, and it’s not that I can’t go back to being a man.
I don’t know what Cookie is hiding.
I don’t know how they intend to use us.
It’s not like I’m a kid enough to grumble and complain about it.
『Booooo!』
『Gwoaaaaa!」
You can still hear the cries of the giants and the sound of them rioting wildly from beyond the rubble piles and from inside the large filming set. Neither the light waves that this side blocked with a do-or-die resolution, nor the dreadful violence that was destroying the dungeon seemed to tire the giants.
Vibrations are continued by rampaging giants. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before this dungeon will collapse. However, the giants will slowly escape from the ruins of the collapsed cave and attack the village and the earth at random.
I sighed at Yura, who asked with her eyes what to do now.
“What about Alpha?”
“Me? Um… I’ll do as you say. Let’s get out of here sooner than that. I have to go before the shop closes, no, before they sell out.”
“…I honestly don’t like cookies.”
I muttered as if I couldn’t help it.
“By the way, it doesn’t fit my personality to just run away after being attacked. ――To be honest, I was a little pissed off.”
“Because you do what you want. Whatever it is, let’s go back quickly. Blue Moon products are so popular that they sell first.”
The headache that gave me a headache a while ago was gone.
Cookies, and the thought of doubting the fairies disappeared. When that giant disappears and it’s time to sit around with nothing to do, let’s ask around then.
If you’re a cool guy, it’s not appropriate to worry about being tied down to personal things.
Great women have heavy secrets, but they are not dark.
And.
It is a man who pays back what he deserves,
It is a woman who gives back 10 times what she has suffered.
So, those giants will give a damn.
“Ruler…”
As if reading our thoughts, Yura blinked her eyes repeatedly and then shouted in disbelief.
“Wait!? What are you talking about?! Are you crazy?! How do you do that! The fairy has protected me while sacrificing like this, so you’re going to jump in?!”
“Yura, I can’t help it. There are times when a man should not run away.”
“What are you talking about?! More than that, are the unnies male?!”
“Then, what about the fact that there are times when a woman cannot back down…?”
“Don’t play with words!”
“Wait, I’m scolded. Comfort me, Alpha.”
“Right, right. Come into my arms.”
“Sisters, really~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
After patting her on the shoulder to comfort Yura, who was screaming at her loudly, we got up from our seats and started destroying the wreckage.
Alpha comforted Yura as if telling her not to worry.
“Don’t worry about Yura. Because Blue Moon of 〈 Witch Girl 〉 said. “Life is something, if you do it roughly, you can do anything.”
“I’m only worried about you, Alpha-sister…”
“Always keep your mind and body stable, and with a calm mind like a calm sleep, have an immovable mind that accepts any reality… It’s touching, as expected, Blue Moon-sama…”
“I don’t think that’s what it meant…”
“Alpha, Alpha. But the other day, I saw it in the statistics, and limited edition products sold better than Rubies.”
“Ah~~~~~~?! What did you say, this bastard?! If you’re going to talk bullshit, I’ll kill you?!”
“Where did the immovable heart go…!”
* * *
『Booooo!!!』
Quaang! Bang! Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwa!
The giants are the walls of the dungeon and are breaking down the floor.
The dungeon, which began to crack with an unusual shaking, was like a house with beams pulled out, and it looked as if it would collapse at any moment.
Half of the giants are still submerged in the lake. I want to get out, but due to Black’s imperfect operation, the restraints are not completely released yet. Perhaps, if this dungeon collapses, then you will be able to get out of here freely.
The giants were eager to get out.
The mission given to them created as weapons. Invade the earth Defeat the magical girls. Trampling, stealing, destroying, run amok as you wish–According to the desire that has been instilled in you, get out of this dungeon-like dungeon as soon as possible and capture and eat a lot of magical girls who will become their raw materials, giants they ran amok
A light wave with heat and mass, while his heavy fists and arms broke through at random, creating dust and debris, it was the cow-headed giant who first discovered the abnormality.
『…?』
The cow-headed giant, 〈 Cow Head Human God 〉, saw two magical girls pushing through the wreckage and approaching.
Two women in magical girl-like tight dress suits. One has dark hair and red eyes with a hideous aura. And the other has blonde hair and gold eyes.
He obviously thought he had been annihilated with the frenzy he spewed out a while ago, but the two of them looked fine even though they were all tattered and dusty.
Pushing aside the wreckage, the two who realized they had found them– accelerated at once, and began to run toward the giants like arrows that escaped their strings, or like bullets.
――The enemy.
――It is a magical girl.
――We have to repel it.
――No, let’s swallow it.
――Anyway, I like it.
――Because destruction is fun.
The giant smirked at the fact that he had something to destroy.
An instinct that could be called an ego, not programmed as a weapon in the first place.
The giant was feeling the joy of destroying 〈 Magical Girl 〉, which could be said to be the reason they were born, which cannot be felt by simply destroying the prison where they were imprisoned in annoyance.
Blue and white particles gathered in the mouth of the bull-headed giant.
The mana stored inside her body was refined and collected once or twice, preparing for a stronger attack than before.
This time, she prepares to crush the magical girls in front of her eyes with a blow that can surely crush the enemy.
“You can stop that, right?!”
“Blue Moon’s quote! 『Really cool women never say two words with one mouth』! Don’t worry, I’ll never see you through!”
Having said that, Alpha stood tall at a distance from the giant. The arm of the horse-headed giant, which inflicts physical attacks, cannot reach at this distance.
The cow-headed giant, who had discovered us before the horse-headed giant, had been gathering blue light in her mouth without a moment’s movement. A much stronger light than before was gathering in his mouth, so I swallowed.
“【It’s a branch of a tree that even immortality made of light is immortal】.”
And Alpha, faced with that terrifying intimidation, quietly started chanting.
〈 Lucky Roulette 〉, the card of conversion that Cookie finally pulled out at the moment when he tried his best to block the light wave.
As much as it relies solely on luck, if it goes wrong, it will be much weaker and useless than the default 〈 state, so Alpha, who was careful as much as possible, turned the roulette as if giving up, and the number that came out was definitely a fairly high level 『8』.
Her costume, which was changed with 〈 Lucky Roulette 〉, is a soft and magnificent dress reminiscent of a forest fairy with a green tone, and several layers of glittering veils wrapped around her body flutter wildly as she sings. Was
“[Borrowing the name of Alb, I ask, compatriots of the parasitic forest, please put your hand here].”
Woojijijik-! Quadduk!
What appeared at my feet was the trunk of a tree that grew, spread, and entwined itself at a terrifying speed, as if time had moved forward.
“【The foundation is the concept of having life. Overcome fear and destroy immortality. The past into the future. The future is forever. Let’s stretch out our arms toward the unreachable god of the sky, the arms of the earth].”
With Alpha’s magical power and the power of the earth as food, the tree continued to grow in size.
The trunk of the tree growing as if to wrap around us has now become terrifyingly large. It was growing so big that it completely covered the field of vision, and the tip of the stem pointed straight ahead.
The end points to the cow-headed giant looking in this direction, 〈 Bull Head God 〉.
“【Prick it, mistletoe branch――】”
The tip of the spear, which is said to have killed the god of light according to tradition and legend, ironically pointed at the weapon bearing the name of the same “God”.
“【Mistiltein】!!”
It stretched out as it was, and the spear of divine killing was shot out as if it were alive.
At the same time, from the mouth of 〈 Head Human God 〉, light waves of an incomparable mass were emitted.
* * *
――――――――――――――――!
Terrible sounds and flashes.
Alpha’s spear, fired as if it were a full blow, and the light waves of 〈 Head Human God 〉 collided, causing a huge flash of light and an explosion, and the disastrous results were soon revealed.
『―――…!」
The flash and the heat wave dissipated, and what was revealed was 〈 Head Human 〉, whose head and upper right body had been completely blown off at the end of a tree trunk that extended deeply.
The bull-headed giant, who lost part of his body and head, fell slowly as if he had lost his strength.
Aaaaa!
As the massive body was submerged in the water, a large stream of water rose upward, and the water splashed from the lake sprayed the large set like rain.
『―――――――――?
The horse-headed giant standing next to him, 〈 Mad Head God 〉, seemed unable to comprehend the scene in front of him, and stopped the ongoing act of destruction, looking down at the place where 〈 Bull Head God 〉 fell.
And i
“…Touch.”
“Okay. Good job.”
Pair with Alpha’s outstretched hand! Hani clapped his hands, and took advantage of the gap to quickly run toward the lake.
* * *
To be honest, I had no idea what to do with a monster like that.
No, holding a knife and dealing with a clumsy monster, wouldn’t that happen in any martial arts area? Basically, swords and guns are made to deal with people, not to get rid of monsters. Right?
Still, since I had to do it anyway, I decided to use the power of capitalism after thinking hard about the method.
In other words, using 〈 Point Shop 〉 to make random purchases.
Although I wasted a lot of points buying 〈 Scales of Oath 〉 because of S, I spent all the remaining points on unlocking new 〈 Magic 〉 and 〈 Skills 〉.
My precious point.
My precious bonus…!
If you use up all of this, it will be difficult to buy goods, but if you defeat that unnecessarily large giant, you will definitely earn more points than you spent. I believed so. If you don’t believe in it, you can’t keep your mind. If not, I’ll have to rob the bank. …Isn’t that a little too much?
Anyway.
So, using 〈 point shop 〉, it is a skill that I recklessly opened, and among the magic… I only found one that was useful.
『Kwaaaaa!
〈 Head Human God 〉 started to check me as if they had come to their senses after spotting me darting like a hummingbird.
He swung his thick, long arm and tried to sweep me away like an insect.
“Heh…!”
I stepped on the nearby rubble and jumped high with the fluidity of a beast to avoid the giant’s arm.
At the same time as avoiding the arm, the moment it passed by, I slashed it with the undecorated knife in my hand, but the giant’s arm was intact, only the blade bounced off as if being pushed by something. Is this the protective shield that Cookie was talking about or something?
It seems that in order to properly inflict damage, it must have enough destructive power to blow away the entire shield, just like Alpha did.
Bang! Kwakwang! Kurrrr
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!
The three pairs of giant arms swayed here and there, aiming at me and flying.
However, thanks to skill 〈 Eye of Mind Lv. 8〉, which I unlocked using 〈 Point Shop 〉, I seemed to know where and how my arm would fly even with my eyes closed. How can I avoid it?
As if water was flowing, I steadily approached, dodging the giant’s hand.
However, the giant’s movement changed, as if he was getting a fever from me, who couldn’t be caught no matter what. Just like that, the three pairs of hands were joined to each other and formed into three huge lumps.
As it was, he slammed it down toward the floor without mercy.
『Kuo uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwah!!!!!
“Oohhh…?!”
Great earthquake.
A mace of violence that fell to the ground with the strength and weight of a giant.
The floor, which had already been destroyed as soon as it was about to be destroyed, collapsed with cracks, producing a tremendous earthquake-like shaking. The stagnant lake water overflowed through the collapsed floor, exposing the lower floor.
The giant smiled contentedly and was gradually trying to pull his body out of the flowing lake water.
“【Where should I go now… There are many things to enjoy, even the peak of the sword where there is “Nothing”, And the flow of the world where there is joy and pleasure”.”
And i
Todok, and with light steps, I got on top of a rock towering in front of the giant.
The lightly hanging sword, held in one hand, emits a soft light as it receives my magical power.
“【Knowing men, knowing the taste of alcohol, knowing the world, knowing the joys, knowing being alone and knowing being together, how can this or that be not enjoyable.】.”
When the giant spotted me, it roared again.
It was a roar that resonated so loudly, but in front of me, standing still, it was as quiet as a windless surface.
The giant’s arm came up and swung to crush me again.
In contrast, I relaxedly let the tip of the sword point down, pointing down the giant’s midpoint.
“[I realized that the path of the sword and the path of life are ultimately the same].”
It was not an incantation or anything that was recited, but simple words of self-suggestion.
〈 Point Shop 〉 was purchased and opened, and the one I chose was a simple 〈 skill 〉 instead of 〈 magic 〉 like Alpha.
〈 magic attribute Operation Lv.MAX〉 turns into 〈 Swordsmanship Lv.MAX〉, and I calmly prepare for 〈 Skill 〉, which only opens when this condition is satisfied.
“[I put my heart into a single stroke, my vision into a swing, and my life beyond that, so what’s the need for a two-stroke].”
The giant’s fists were approaching at terrifying speed, but in these eyes it seemed to be stopped, as if they were approaching slowly enough to cause a yawn.
I smiled faintly and, ignoring the slowly approaching giant’s fist, swung the bare sword in my hand.
“[–Please, here, with a single extreme].”
The name of the skill is 〈 Extreme Extreme 〉. A simple milestone and one-way ticket that shows the user the end of the sword’s path.
The knife was swung. The sun swims softly.
However, that blow with the application of 〈 Swordsmanship Lv.MAX〉 was swung faster than the fists of giants that rushed to break and destroy me.
Jjaeok-! Do.
The giant who gave no room for the tip of the sword to penetrate.
A lake so vast that it is vast.
Wide floor.
The dungeon walls.
High ceilings.
Beyond the floors, through the dungeons.
And the space–
It was literally split in two so that it was out of sync.
* * *
Aaaaa!
Split in two, I looked down at the corpse of a giant submerged in a lake that was gradually draining.
“What is it, Cookie Guy? He said he couldn’t do anything.”
Unexpectedly, it was trivial~ From the other side of the field of vision with the same sentiment, Yura was running towards me while holding Cookie.
Anyway, it seems that the work of 〈 Mera Studio 〉 has been completed with this.
That’s it.
Finally.
…From now on, I will do my best to get out of here.
