Chapter 752: Setting Sun, Part 6
───Screaming in pain, rushing to her side. The name of the one tearing through its own viscera is,
◆
"Doryaaaaaaaah!!"
I leaped! I pushed forward! There's no turning back now, I'm throwing all my violence into this single moment!!
Further enhancing the acceleration I've kept sealed up until now using Levin Trigger: Hazard, I shift entirely to the offensive in one breath. Assuming I die if I stop, I surge forward like a tuna!
The Naga's attacks are certainly a threat, but it cannot escape the destiny of having "massive openings" due to its sheer size. By utilizing mid-air jumps to evade the attacks of the Naga relentlessly targeting me, I use its massive body as a stepping stone to close the distance to Boss-dunine all at once.
"fufu, fUfUfu fUfU!!"
I don't know what's so damn funny to you, but I'll wipe that look right off your face.
Sprinting past the poison bombs swarming toward me faster than they can detonate to evade them. 3 meters remaining; sprinting past the swing speed of the poison swords materializing and swinging in mid-air!
"Get caved in, oraaah!!"
If it's a boss character, I won't hesitate to punch a beautiful woman or a child; I pierced through every lethal zone purely with speed and arrived right before the boss's eyes!!
I selected the Brilliant Scorpion Gauntlets for my equipment, there's no holding back anymore. I'll slam a Reject directly into her face!!
"【Exceed───!!"
"I, I! Me!Me! Kill me, trample me!"
Boss-dunine's exhaled breath as she laughed like a madwoman reached my ears far too clearly. And before my full-power straight could touch Boss-dunine's face, a poison-colored maiden clung to my gauntlet... It's the face I saw earlier.
"aH, mY footsteps arE multiplyiNg... hoW mucH does the inexhaustible me... ah, AH, the more you kilL, the more regretS i pilE up... 【I Have a Hundred Faces】!!"
Is it magic, or something far more alien? There's only one thing I can say for sure... Using that declaration as a trigger, Boss-dunine—who almost looked like she was crying—acted as the Ground Zero to spawn a massive number of Poison Maidens possessing perfect full bodies that practically buried my entire field of vision.
"Kh...!!"
The simplest method to overwhelm a person is to push them with mass. Even a Yokozuna champion couldn't possibly win a sumo wrestling match against a truck with the accelerator floored.
Even though they were spawned as if erupting in all directions, over ten Poison Maidens were pushing against me... no, it's pretty much a given at this point.
The tragic end of the other "Goldunines" who were eaten and absorbed by this Boss-dunine, acting as simple physical mass, forcibly wedged the distance between me and Boss-dunine...!!
"Shit!!"
My skills' effects have expired, and their recast timers are far from over. All I can do right now is tear off the Poison Maidens clinging to me and use an antidote item.
"No matter how you look at it, this isn't content meant to be cleared by five or six people...!"
You're on the same level as Siegwurm, you bastard! Don't screw with me! Having an ultra-massive Raid Monster launch a surprise attack is top-tier bullshit! Give me a tip, a tip, damn you!!
"Shiyu! Ougasei! There's nothing more we can do, put everything you've got into trying to let your own Goldunines escape!!"
However, the words I shouted failed to reach the two players, drowned out by the massive chorus of Poison Maidens laughing like maniacs. The laughter woven by mouths torn all the way to their cheeks like a slit-mouthed woman feels like it's going to drive me insane just by listening to it.
Shifting my gaze slightly, I can see Ougasei and Shiyu desperately struggling, completely surrounded by a massive horde of Poison Maidens.
"This is..."
A scenery of absolute trash defeat. It goes without saying what those razor-like "teeth" peeking out from the torn mouths of the Poison Maidens are used for.
───The right arm of Nine, who had teamed up with Ougasei, was bitten off.
Ougasei, crying so hard it surpassed the limit her intimidating avatar could hide, is swinging her weapon frantically, but it seems the AI isn't lenient enough to take damage from the "futile struggles" of someone sloppily swinging around an already unwieldy weapon.
───Both legs of Ojou, who had teamed up with Shiyu, were eaten clean.
Seeing that, Shiyu completely stopped moving, and is now nowhere to be seen after being swarmed by Poison Maidens. That camp was supposed to have the largest twin-headed snake among all the ones gathered here, but there is no sign of it anywhere.
If I had to guess, I can see a mountain made of dozens of piled-up Poison Maidens, but I wonder what's at the core; though I doubt even bones would remain if you dug it up.
And as for me, I'm surrounded by over ten Poison Maidens, driven into a corner.
Not a single skill's recast timer has finished yet, the Reverse Position is far too detestable. That trashy piece of junk, the next time that old geezer named Arcanum shows up, I'm going to slam a right straight into him.
But before that...
"Saina, do it."
"Authentication: Initiating Stun Bombardment"
A few seconds pass, and at the very, very last moment before the Poison Maidens sank their fangs into my body... the stun grenades dropped over a wide area detonated all at once, burying everything in a blinding flash.
"Saina! One arm and two legs! Handle it through sheer willpower!!"
Did you think I was just dealing with the Poison Maidens randomly? Their entire bodies are made of poison, but when they move, their necks move and their eyes move. And when they get blinded, their homing fails... which means they have eyesight and vision.
"Acknowledged: Executing while ignoring payload overload... I wish you the fortunes of war."
"Leave it to me, I'll survive for half a day."
Saina, having executed the wide-area bombardment with stun grenades from above, descended to the ground at breakneck speed. She roughly grabbed the two Goldunines—who were violently spewing a massive amount of damage effects from their wounds—and forcibly flew away.
The Goldunine in our camp ran away early on, so this is my apology as a fellow player at the very least. So sorry, Ougasei... looks like you're still breathing, but die here.
"Now then, since the targets have decreased, the aggro is going to focus on me..."
She mentioned Centurio, so there are probably about a hundred Poison Maidens, the still-uninjured Nagas... and the main body, Boss-dunine. If I die, my contracted Saina will automatically be forcibly recalled back to the Inventoria, so considering the distance and travel time from here to the Frontline Base, I need to survive for at least thirty minutes...
"Looks like I'm about to get checkmated right off the bat."
There are too many of them, they're too massive, and they're far too strong. Outmatched in quality, quantity, and everything else in this situation, I wonder exactly how many minutes I can struggle...
Even so, to survive, I readied the Brilliant Scorpion Gauntlets to resist the Poison Maidens—who, setting aside their body color and the clacking sounds of their fangs, possessed the pleasant appearance of young girls...
It was at that moment.
"Huh?"
The Poison Maidens were blown away like bowling pins by something charging in from the side. And when I turned my gaze, right there, with its mouth wide open, a heavily wounded snake was about to swallow me whole...
Wait, seriously wait, where is the pause function? Why are you here, Sammy-chan-san!!?!?!
Author's Afterword
Due to age-related expression restrictions regarding Ougasei, the depiction has been toned down, but it remains an undeniable fact that Nine's arm is gone.
