Chapter 62 - 71: Replica (1/2)
”Well then, time to end the little test here, I shall start taking this seriously.”
The pope readies his sword.
Then, the form changes to a spear. The shape changed but it still retained its luxurious design.
Looking at the weapons you can tell it was made by the same person.
”It can transform!?”
”Of course, it is a legendary weapon. Sword, spear, and bow... What shall I purify you with?”
Holy weapon of the Three Heroes...?
The power of Three Legendary Heroes collected into one weapon, turns its fangs against the Hero of the Shield.
Quite the composition.
Even if I try to escape...Can it even be done against an opponent who wields such a weapon?
That shock-wave was too fast to dodge.
If he takes this seriously and uses a bow skill, it might be impossible for even Firo to escape...
”You see, our power from the believers are limited. So allow me to end this with a single blow.”
Knights are wholeheartedly supporting the Pope in the background.
The weapon was pointed towards us.
”... High Class Skill, Brionac!?”
Hero of the Spear Motoyasu cries out.
It is probably a skill name from a game which Motoyasu played.
That means, this is a considerably high-class skill.
It would normally do an enormous amount of damage. Will that skill kill us...?
Escaping is impossible, have to block it... Motoyasu and the others won't be able to, only the shield can.
Is this thing going to attack from all sides?
No matter what I have no intention on giving up.
”Firo!”
”Okay!”
Firo grasps my intention and throws me at the pope.
The moment the pope entered the range of my skill. I shouted its name.
”Shield Prison!”
A cage of shields imprisons the pope.
After I will use Change Shield (Attack) and then Iron Maiden to surely kill him-
”...What kind of imitation is this?”
He didn't even need to take a posture, the prison was destroyed merely by the skill's after effect.
No way!?
No, I need to calmly think about this.
The requirements to activate Iron Maiden weren't met. It is my only other means of attacking.
I'll just burn him with Self-Burning Curse.
However, he grips the spear and starts to attack.
I think not.
”Firo, Throw Motoyasu at me!”
”Eh!?”
”Okay!”
Firo hurls Motoyasu at me, who has yet to land.
”Dowaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Motoyasu shouts in panic while flying towards me at high-speed.
”Motoyasu attack me!”
”Ahhh!? Oh I see, Okay!”
Motoyasu turns out to be quite sharp.
While I turn around Motoyasu readies his spear.
With a thud the spear hits the shield.
That's right.
This is good.
”Meteor Spear!”
Next, Motoyasu releases his skill towards the Pope.
”Foolish.”
However, Motoyasu's meteor spear was stopped by an unknown barrier around the pope.
”What!?”
”Now try this!”
With me at the centre Self-Burning Curse flies out and covers the pope, even Motoyasu is hit.
The barrier surrounding the Pope vanishes, and the flames–
”It's useless!”
The believers accompanying the Pope start singing in unison.
”””Our god commands the origin of power. I have read and deciphered a law of nature. Purify this curse with a miracle!”””
”High Class Purification Magic [Sanctuary]!”
The area was dyed pure-white and my Self-Burning Curse was removed in an instant.
Certainly the curse power conflicts with holy power.
Was I deceived into buying holy water? Oh well, it did enough.
High Class Holy Water should still be required to completely cure the curse.
Instantly....
”Air Strike Shield! Second Shield!”
Before reaching the Pope I call the shields as a foothold, Motoyasu and I both use it to back off.
It seems the flames that also burnt Motoyasu were purified.
There is nothing I haven't used.
”Okay. Motoyasu's companion heal us with recovery magic.”
”R-right! Tzuvait ・Heal!”
Motoyasu's wounds heal considerably.
This is be quite useful.
What's sad is that I have to work together with Motoyasu.
”Now then, are you done with your farce? I would like to attack now.”
As the Pope activates a skill, the tip of his spear glows.
”This is as far as you go.I bid the devil and imposter good-bye.”
