Novel Bin Chapter 332
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 surpassed 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 pass this to Master . ”
Sheena No . 3 passed 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 .
