Chapter 356: Levelling
“Oh, great Queen of Melromark!” (Medea)
“”
The Queen indifferently surveys the area around her
“M-Mirellia, is that you?” (Trash)
“…”
The Queen doesn’t give an answer to Trash’s question
“Now, take lead of this army, and destroy those that oppose us” (Medea)
“Understood!”
As she saluted, the Queen was teleported, perhaps through Medea’s ic, to an area much further back
And fro support in the back suddenly improved
Is this betrayal? Could it be that she never actually died, and was but a pawn of the Goddess?
“Trash!+” (Naofumi)
Was your wife a traitor?
Before I can ask, Trash shakes his head
“That’s not possible! That is… that is!” (Trash)
Trash angrily scowls at Medea
“Yes, I dragged her soul out and revived her to ht now, she can only move by my will Ara? Would it be best if I didn’t tell you that?” (Medea)
“DAMMMN YOOOOOOOOOU!”(Trash)
Trash’s enraged voice echoes
So thatcontrolled
… Right There’s no way that Queen would ever turn coat
Just how ames have you played, Iwatani Naofumi?
When the dead are brought back, they’re usually being controlled, or zombies
Just ho can she go, this one!?
Thinking about it, she can e reincarnation
That’s ample evidence that she can revive the dead
What’s more, the Queen’s become her marionette
daly hard to deal with
And wait, the reincarnators aren’t the slightest bit put off by her actions?
Perhaps she made up a story to them, or perhaps… ere the only ones aware of that scene?
“「Arrow Rain」! Quickly! The ring leader… the enemy!” (Itsuki)
Itsuki unleashes a rain of arrows on those duking it out with Motoyasu
Ah, that’s right
If we defeat Witch’s origin point, Medea, then perhaps everything will be resolved
Froic cast on them, but since they have no cooperation, thay’re ridden with friendly fire
… Okay
“Let’s go!”
“Yeah!”
Us, the Heroes at the front, will probably have to be the ones to take charge
Or else the ones behind us won’t follow!
「Phoenix Gale Sword X」!
「Brionac X」!
「Full Buster X」!
「shi+eld Prison↦ Change shi+eld(Attack)↦ Iron Maiden X」!
We all release our most powerful skills at Medea
The bird of fire envelops the spear of light, which absorbs the beaun The co explosion is contained within the shi+eld Prison The shi+elds change to ones laden with spikes, and an Iron Maiden envelops it all
Did that do any dae!?
“… You guys aren’t any fun”
Medea stood there with a sullen expression, as if nothing had happened to her
It looks like she deployed a sturdy barrier
Ku… even the coh to scratch her
We’ll have to get Raphtalia and the others to help us before trying again
But they’re busy with the Reincarnators, and Glass’s world’s army The situation is quite severe
Luckily, the enely nearby
“Naofumi”
Ren glances at me
I know
An ene, and the weapons we’ve collected up until now Within our skills…
Ren nods
It seems everyone else understands as well
“Let’s go!”
We ignore the entire arle moment No…
「Meteor Wall X」!
The skill I use surrounds us, and everyone… chants a skill at Medea
「… of Ø」
Right, it see
I thought it odd that theyoff, so me, Ren and Itsuki consulted one another
If we ever encountered an ene, ould leave the possibility open to use it to see if it did anything
I never thought a chance to use it would present itself so soon
“Wha–”
Medea, who had continuously showed us her lax iot into a panic
So it’s true…
The Ø skills glow as they shoot off towards her
“Goddess!?”
The warring reincarnators and their ar
“Good!”
So we can beat her with this
“Keep…”
Before I could finish ht passed by me
No, I couldn’t even follohat happened with my eyes
Soh, and I merely looked in its direction by instinct
“Guhaaaah!?”
What I saas thein the middle of the battlefield, collapsed He had been pierced by so
“Eh…?” (Motoyasu)
“M-Motoyasu-san!”
“Mokkun!”
“Mo-chan!”
His party members rush over to him
But Motoyasu’s body isn’t htest
“How dare you place an injury on my body!”
… The only wound left on Medea was a small scratch on her hand
“M-Motoyasu…?”
Seeing his limp, motionless body, I couldn’t muster any words
Eventually
“Ah–”
Motoyasu’s body glowed gold, and dispersed into the air
As if no one had been lying there to start with
“That was a bit surprising I didn’t think… you were this good But how unfortunate for you I’ like this” (Medea)
Medea surveys the area, and scrunches her eyebrows, as she starts counting us
“One… two… three… Eleven in total? That’s quite a bit With this much, it feels a bit unbalanced There are still three holy weapons left, and Vassals, was it? Even though I did so ht left This is the worst” (Medea)
She glares at me
“Just how far did you intend to get inbut a measly shi+eld?”
“Like I care! Don’t advance the conversation by yourself!”
What’s the source of all of this trying to say?
Motoyasu just died! But I can’t lose it here
Ren and Itsuki probably get it as well
They contain their rage as they calmly consider ways to defeat her
“Just what is your objective!? For what purpose did you cause so like the wave!?” (Naofumi)
“Fufufu, you wanna know?” (Medea)
Looking down on all of us, Medea laughs
“If I had to say, I guess it’s to er If I had to put it in your boorish words, then I wanted to raise my level” (Medea)
“How… for so as petty as that… you started all this unproductive violence!?” (Itsuki)
Itsuki screams out as he clenches his bow
Me too… no, all of the ones who heard her words share the sentiment
Raising her level, you say!?
For soh our days of hell!?
Through the wave, many lost their lives, andon to bring an end to it all And yet the ene
Don’t fuck with me…
“Say what you will Now then, let’s slay the evil heroes!” (Medea)
Medea’s words send the ene forward at once
Their powers seee extent, and even for me, the most I can do is block them
Gu…
“Ah, right, right You guys are a bit too strong, so I’ive us a handicap, kay?” (Medea)
Medea holds her hand in front of her, and a half-transparent sword y appears in it She points it at us
“Good bye” (Medea)
I i forward, and protect Ren, Raphtalia, Firo, Fohl, Midori, and all the heroes ere on the front lines
「shi+eld of Ø」!
If the others had enough output to overcome a God’s defense… then I should be able to withstand it with this
“Ah, how sad” (Medea)
