Chapter 371: Proxy
We were locked in a stare-doith the enemy for five minutes
Military for round on both sides
I have no idea howto try and read each other’s plans
I bring up ic
The area’s terrain and personnel ain
I’ve never personally experienced Trash’s resourcefulness in war
No, I did participate in that war, but I was sent to eliminate the enemy leader, so I worked separately So in truth, I’ve never come to know it
“Fortify the left flank! The Right as well… Center disperse!”
After these changes repeated countless ti, and I stepped forward
“Iwatani-dono, and the others, begin your assault!”
I follow the orders, and took the front
And at the same time, I became speechless
I ic fell and exploded on the enemy army
I had wondered if it was going to go well, and went forth thinking failure as a possibility, but I’m surprised it actually hit the enemy so easily
The Queen’s incompetence… no, that’s not it It’s the coic
Originally, covenant ic of multiple people in one place The output directly correlates to the aathered
But Trash deployed his ic corps all over the place, and while divided, they still ed to complete the preparations for it I’d call it a drastic move
I can understand things like this due to ic
Honestly, I can only call it madness
You don’t knohere it will fall, and you can’t guarantee the output, yet he used that , and output
The guys from Silt Welt did say you can’t predict ill happen while fighting Trash, but I guess they were right
He probably timed it so even the Queen was unable to predict it
No… she actually did
That’s why she changed her forain
And in their battle of reading each other, Trash ca over the battlefield?
“UWAAAAAAAAAH!”
I see the ene bloay
I activate Defense Link and Meteor Wall as we begin our assault on the enemy
“E-everyone, don’t forget we have the Goddess’s protection!”
A non-reincarnator is giving orders to the ar his protection to the divine
As usual, it seeic The worn-down soldiers scattered on the ground start rising like Zoin to visibly close
They’re even laughing about how they feel no pain It’s unnerving
To counter attack our ins to gush out froround
“I’ve read your hand!”
When the troops take on Trash’s ordered forma
Just who are you, Trash!+
“Iwatani-dono, it’s about time for the Enemy commanders to show themselves! I’ll leave it to you!”
As Trash shouted out, I sensed a presence
“There!” (Naofumi)
I activate Magic Cruising to float in the air, and hold up my shi+eld
And iuy with the katana suddenly appeared, and unleashed a skill
“「Sky Running Crescent Moon」! What–”
A sharp blade of air appears, and approaches me in a shape like that of the moon as it tries to mutilate me
As I stop that blade, a light s out
The reincarnator louses his voice
“Could it be…”
Is this the first ti Trash’s seriousness?
No, I don’t think that’s it
I’ll bet he’s surprised at how easily I withstood his attack
Or else, he wouldn’t have tried a surprise attack like this against Trash’s army
“I’ you run, you know” (Naofumi)
I grab the reincarnator’s katana, and concentrate my mind
At that ti in the rear collided with him and those around him
「All Revelation Down X」!
Itsuki follows his orders, and uses his ability decreasing ic
At the saic of my own
I interfere with Itsuki’s et
And eht follows the enemy, as it spreads over their forces
The essence of war is to strengthen your forces, and weaken your enemy’s
I shorten the incantation as le breath And I use the strongest support
「All Revelation Aura EX」!
The h the Defense Link
For all ic activates
Because of that, the forces the bitch Goddess strengthened through h direct methods
In order to nullify our ins to rain down
“Ren, Itsuki, Fohl, Glass! Go stop the caster!” (Naofumi)
“Got it! What about you, Naofumi!?” (Ren)
“Me? I’ll stop this one, and…”
Against the endlessly raining nullification le skill
「De Dispel Parry」!
… The skill redirected the attack meant to nullify our supports
Originally, Dispel Parry was a skill to protect individual units, but I tweaked a bit
Meaning…
“Wha- Theirany slower, you say!?”
Those reincarnators are shocked
Right… I rendered their nullifications attacks null
Of course, that’s within the rules the bitch Goddess set
Well, she’s just playing
If it’s just this et serious
“Good! Let’s proceed as Naofumi said!” (Ren)
“Yeah!”
Ren and the others run past me
The effects of Defense Link don’t cut off
While it originally had an effect time, I can make that optional and control it
In all honesty, I can probably keep it active eternally
Just like yesterday, even when they’re attacked with killing blows, they take absolutely no dae
“W-what’s with these people! Even if I attack thee!”
“It’s a cheat! These guys are playing unfair! You cowards!”
I don’t want to hear that from you! Is what I want to say
The fact doesn’t change that they’re abusing their own cheat powers even now
“Now then…” (Naofumi)
“Just how long are you going to hold that!? Let o!”
“Why should I?” (Naofumi)
The guy with the Katana started shouting at me
Hehis way
I get quite a relieved expression when I see guys like thisthis sort of face
“Die!”
Perhaps they sensed souy with a harpoon, and the one with the scythe stabbed at me with their weapons
What’s more, behind them is one with an instrument in hand, and in the sky is a shi+p… Ah, I think they used a transport skill to get down here together
Perfect
“Atlas!” (Naofumi)
“Yes!” (Atlas)
From the shi+eld, Atlas answers to my voice
She touches the Katana, and I match my consciousness with the Spirit’s
『Ple… he… lp… me…』
Having been bound by a strange power, it was being made use of forcibly I hear the voice of the otherworldly spirit
Yeah, I’ll help you right away
Originally, the Spirits that dwell in the weapons are the manifestation of the will to protect the world In order to protect their oorlds, they oppose the spirits of others
But right now, the worlds have become one
Even if they’re from another world, we’re not enemies for them to oppose
And the foundations of these vassal weapons, the four holy weapons of that world have mostly been lost already
No… perhaps they’re out there somewhere, and are merely sealed
I use this vassal as an intermediary to link to them
… It seeendary spirits were able to escape their control
But they no longer have the power left to fight
“You hate being controlled regardless of your oill, right? I’ll definitely let you free” (Naofumi)
I… gently talk to the Spirit
“Sacred Weapon Spirits of another world… please listen to my words And please lend us your power” (Atlas)
The Spirit of the shi+eld and Atlas try to call out to them
Through me, I restore some power to them, and they answer
Right noas able to link to all the Spirits fighting on this battlefield
“Now is the time Let’s help Iwatani-dono, and show the poe’ve attained! 「Kenbu Mu: Zetsukage Ten」!”
(TL: Sword Dance of Nothingness: Severed Shadows Ten)
In the middle of battle… Glass converted her power to match the sacred weapons of this world, and with a fan ic, the size of a sword, she bleay the ene her
Its output was reater than she’s displayed up ‘til now
From the start, she possessed monstrous power, and was of a race that specialized in short, decisive battles, and she used her skill at full power
“Guaaaah–”
The Reincarnator’s party athered around her, as well as the ar a trace
The reincarnators called out their names frantically, but that’s not my problem
“I definitely won’t forgive you! I’ll kill you without holding back!”
“Sorry, but for you guys, that’s impossible” (Naofumi)
I proclaiotiations with the enemy’s vassal weapon
Honestly, I didn’t think I would succeed
But… it seee with just the power of the spirits
It seems the bitch Goddess didn’t really care too much about it
Countermeasures… it’s not like I didn’t have any, but from what I can see, I don’t think the bitch Goddess ever thought they would be released, so she was too soft
“… In place of the Spirits who’re supposed to lead you, The Hero of the shi+eld and his spirits shalt command Lend us power Vassals, break off these foolish restraints, and lend your powers to us!”
As I called out, the Katana, Instrued to balls of light, and separated from their wielders Other balls also came from them
“Wha—”
And just as they began to let out voices of surprise, the vassals began flying towards our army
Right… That was Atlas’s proposal I wanted to test whether or not I could indirectly cut their forces
I activated the Spirits, and released them from the Goddess’s curses I stole their weapons
First, I used the enemy’s vassal to access their world’s sacred weapons, and asked if they were okay with joint ownershi+p
But Glass’s weapon had already sensed the situation, and severed its link, so I could only directly hack through the enemy’s weapons
In order to prevent interference, the Goddess put up quite a solid firewall, but it wasn’t really anything special to me
Well, there was the danger that I would be noticed
But I think this will greatly alter the situation
“No! I don’t want to be a Hero!”
I heard Melty’s voice echoing from the back lines
“Wah, Mel-chan, now you’re just like Firo Mel0chan is good at playing instru with you~” (Firo)
“Hoh… Now Melty has becoether” (Trash)
“Uu…”
She let out quite a defeated voice
