Volume 2 Chapter 8 (1/2)

An exceptional Archeneht Cross

Valkyrie Karen

”…! Maxwell!!”

”Too Late”

The blue bunny girl slowly pulled soe of her alasses with blue fralasses that placed their screen over the actual scenery, I felt a tremendous chill run down my spine

The Valkyrie had linked with Laplace, the frightening simulator that far surpassed Maxwell That extraordinary monster had now acquired a crystallization of hue

”Ah”

I knew prediction was hopeless

I understood that resistance was futile

Ti out onto the road in front ofained an oddly calirl monster was as certain a death as that

While tily accurate olden feathered cross-spear while her long skirt fluttered behind her

The relative density of pure gold was more than twice that of iron That spear was as tall as she was, so if she threw it like a baseball, well, my life was over I wouldn't just be bisected when it hit me; my flesh and blood would pop like a water balloon

This was a threat on the sa my vision

Rolling to the right or left was only a theoretical solution I didn't have the extraordinary strength of an Archenehts in my head

So this was the end

All I could do atch themy chest

But I was not torn to pieces as if from a head-on collision with a dump truck

The reason as simple

While I stood stock still, a witch and dark elf saved me from behind

My slowed sense of time returned to normal

So rasp what had happened between them

But escaping the desperate slowing of time did provide some relief

Yes

It meant I had escaped that threat to my life

Aclash of rabbedto let me escape in time The witch in a black dress, Itou Helen, rushed forith odd, crab-like ar her, but when she was hit by Valkyrie Karen's fierce attack, which caused her long skirt to beat at the air behind her, Itou Helen was knocked back toward ed to catch her

I spread irl

It was more like a basketball had been dropped on ravity was 11 times that of Earth An unbearable impact shook not justprotected here, but s and I felt like my heart nearly stopped

All three of us were sent flying

Even so, the difference in poas so great that I could only feel ere fortunate none us had died

”Max…well”

”Sure”

”What is a Valkyrie!? And how is this even possible!?”

It was true that vareat Darwin had seen theht have seemed so ridiculous that he would have thrown in the towel and never left his hoain

But Valkyries took a step beyond that They weren't just ers That put the like that showed up in a monster championshi+p full of orcs and skeletons, no one would be able to stop her fro the floor with the others You would probably call it unfair!

”No This isn't all that unusual”

Instead of Maxwell, I received a response froold cross-spear on her shoulder

”While seeing a Valkyrie herselfderivations and their fallen forms is a different story For example, banshees or the Wild Hunt There are even plenty of theories saying European fairies have their roots in Valkyries”

Did that mean this was acceptable?

Could this really be acceptable?

Could I really just accept that the Bright Cross had the help of an Archenemy that easily wielded a power on the ridiculous scale of ”the Gods”!?

”Sen…pai”

Fro her witch hat head shoved into asped for breath but forced out some words

”I will…deal with the ive me instructions…just like-…”

”It's no use”

She was cut off by a whisper froold spear and shi+eld Almost like she had predicted that statement

And that may have been possible

While she wiggled the round tail on her butt, she viewed us through those slasses were a cutting-edge escale personnel-selection simulator known as Laplace

That blue de open her own mouth

”My Valkyrie power beats you as an Archenee beats you as a human Thus, there is no one at all who can defeat Karen-chan☆”

There was no room for rebuttal

The blue bunny girl sensually licked her lips and then she exploded No, that was just what it looked like It did not old spear and shi+eld turned to flowing lines of light as she approached and that divine ht in front of us in no time

Oh…no

I' to…die!?

A moment later, teapons crossed paths One was the Valkyrie's pure gold spear made ultra-heavy due to the relative density The other was the group of translucent tails that were actually deadly jellyfish tentacles erupting from the back of the caped witch's hips

The result was plain as day

”Ah…kweah!?”

The blonde girl screaht touch severed all of the deadly jellyfish tentacles It did not ainst-9 The difference in poas overwhelh the air after the tentacles were already reater In the tilass wand, the blue bunny girl let her long skirt beat at the air behind her while she freely les she liked!

That deadly spear spun around in the blue bunny girl's neatly-ers The deadly weapon danced about as casually as a cheerleader's baton

The tip aimed for the center of my chest In other words, my heart That profaner of eted my life!?

”Kh!”

With a short breath,In her sleeveless blouse and tight skirt, Muramatsu Yukie had swept olden spear just barely swept by above reat mass struck the dark elf with the intensity of a meteor strike

”M-Muramatsu-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!”

The brown-skinned girl was launched backwards and all I could do was scream her name I could not even tell if she was alive or dead

Meanwhile, the blue bunny girl continueddecorations

This time, Itou Helen responded Several colorful liquids passed through her glass wand; underwent heating, cooling, distillation, filtration, separation, and several other chees within the swollen flask portions; and created potions with effects unexplainable by the laws of physics

Even so

Even so, it was useless against the blue Valkyrie

She sie the round-bottorenades or Molotov cocktails, and a golden light flew as a counterattack Instead of the spear, it was the round, one-handed shi+eld engraved with a wing ee as a weapon

Given the relative density of pure gold, its weight had to be greater than iron knuckles, a glass ashtray, or even a brick

”Ahhhhhhhh!?”

Itou Helen screa backwards

I had lost the protection of the dark elf and the witch

I was now nothing h school boy, and she produced a sharp clack froh force to kick at my jaw from below if she wanted She then accurately pressed the tip of her gold cross-spear against my throat

That beautiful but wicked divine er spoke with mockery in her voice

”Checkmate”

”…Why?”

I could not escape the sense of approaching death and the blade gently stroked my Adam's apple, but it was a question that left my lips, not a plea for my life

Yes

”The fact that you're a divine er doesn't matter here But you're an Archenemy, aren't you? So why did you side with the cruel and horrific Bright Cross!?”

”Hee hee Everyone has their reasons That's all”

…No good, huh?

She would not turn this into a debate She did not think I orthy of a direct clash of opinions This otiate, threaten her…or even reater power to kill me

Or so I thought

But that was not what happened

I heard multiple muffled explosive sounds

You didn't often hear live gunshots in japan Ones from a silenced weapon were even rarer

There was only one possibility I could think of

…Could it be Itou Tao? But why!?

”Oh, dear”

The blue bunny girl was not even bothered She wiggled the round tail on her butt back and forth and the tip of the golden spear pressed against htly Her slender ar the wrist…vanished

With sounds of scraping e sparks burst in the air

…You're kidding…right?

She could see the bullets slicing through the air and knock them down? Even my vampire older sister and zoht by a surprise attack froun in the simulator They had been hit, but they hadn't died That was all

I had no idea if Erika or Ayumi could perfectly intercept a bullet And this Valkyrie was doing it alht while she peered into my eyes with a look of amusement!?

”Si them from the air would be crass Oh, I kno about this?”

There was no time to resist

The bunny girl grabbedskirt drawing a wide circle behind her

She held unfire, like a human shi+eld

The sound of soh seemed oddly distant

But then I felt an unbearable scorching pain like someone had poured molten metal inside my body

”Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

The option to bear with it did not even reach my mind

”Ah hah hah! How does it feel, how does it feel? Your pathetic atteanization has only tra to protect! This bloodshed, this suffering, this tragedy! Your trigger finger produced it all! Ah, ahhh! Brrr!!”

The bunny girl continued yelling as her back treled back and forth, and she did not even atte her mouth

The perfectly accurate gunfire had been briefly held back by so invisible

And the ruler of war that was a Valkyrie did not overlook that opening

”Take this Better luck next time☆”

With that carefree coust of wind Her disk-shaped one-handed shi+eld fleith the weight and sharpness of a guillotine

It hit and stabbed instar

It really was like a great explosion

A portion of the scenery was covered by a massive shockwave and a cumulonimbus-like mountain of dust

Even if he had taken a variety of detours first, that man had finally decided to take on the world for his little sister, but now his possibilities had been far too easily snuffed out

So really did burst in my head

”Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

I didn't do anything special

I hadn't pulled a legendary sword froon fro an incantation

I was simply desperate

While dangling fro irl's thumb Then I tried to twist it like a microwave's timer

Normally, that would have shattered the thumb bone

But even with all 10 of h to nearly tear the muscles in my arms, the Valkyrie did not even bat an eye

And she whispered to me

”This is the clear difference between a huer”

A moment later, I heard the low boom as if from a drum taller than me

By the time I realized her one arravestones, the intense pain nearly tore my personality asunder

”Ghah!! Agragbfhbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”

I could not win

I could not even get in a single attack

Soft-looking girl's skin was right in front of my eyes, but I could not even scratch it with my nails Even if dozens of Archeneer would barely glance in their direction!!

”Why…?”

I kneas useless

Buying ti And the blue bunny girl had no intention of answering as she wiggled her tail But it was still a question and not anger or hatred that spilled from my mouth

”With this er really exists…you could single-handedly destroy the arrogant Bright Cross the huroup dedicated to your suffering, Valkyrie!?”

”Hmm”

While pressing led the ribbon around her neck and gavesmile

And while sently pressed it against me

She pressed it against unshot wound in h

”Aghahh! Gyaaaaaaahhhhh!?”

”Mr Second, you see here”

It was like an afterthought

A slight detour

But the ht from my mind

”The Bright Cross was not created by humans”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Ah?

”Well, it is true it's 99 composed of huiance to an organization founded by Archenemies”

I had no idea what she meant

No, the kind portion ofit could to reject the correct answer

I mean…

That conclusion was just too much!
