My Godspeed isn’t something I’m doing myself! I’m being drawn in by the Demon Lord! Before I could even raise my wooden sword, I was impaled by a sword shining at the Demon Lord’s chest.
“So close! You were just a little bit away from the heart.”
The Demon Lord stabbed me with a slender rapier, pulling me in. It’s so easy when they come to me just by waiting! Now I have a hole in my lungs!
“Y-you…”
“What do you think will happen if I swing it sideways?”
The answer is I’ll be sliced in half. Rufina and Rossa might fight over it, but can she really swing the sword she just stabbed me with sideways with those slender arms, and without recoil?
I was swung. I didn’t move on my own. I was pulled in by the gravity wall from the side. The sword withdrawal was faster than my hand reaching out to stop the Demon Lord’s rapier.
Why? If she had left it like that, half my body would have been cut off. The wound widened, but the rapier slipped out as if it had been pulled free.
She’s just like she looks. A cute high school girl, just as she appears. Even after living for 140 years, her muscles are still those of a high school girl. That means if her body is still like a high school girl’s, I can beat her to death.
I thought someone like the Demon Lord would have incredible muscles or a lot of Magic Power, but she’s still like a high school girl, except for her ability to use the gravity wall. I can kill her!
Godspeed! Mode Six!
I endured the pain and headed towards Sophia. After all, I have a hole in my lungs. If it’s not sealed, the air will leak out.
“Welcome back, darling. You’re back early.”
Is she already in newlywed bliss in Sophia’s mind? We can talk about that after the battle, not after what just happened. Hurry and fix me. No matter how much I inhale, I feel like I don’t have enough air.
“I shall take the side by my heart.”
“No, I can’t give this up, Lady Rufina.”
These two look busy too. You lack common sense! While I’m enjoying my coffee break, Priscilla and the others are still fighting. I’ll be right there after I’m healed, so hang in there.
Thanks to them, I can calmly observe the battlefield. No matter how much I attack, I can’t inflict a single wound on the Demon Lord. I just can’t get close because of the gravity wall.
Priscilla and the others seem to be figuring out the Demon Lord’s power. I could tell them that the Demon Lord manipulates gravity, but I can’t explain gravity.
How did Newton teach it? Even if I explained it as “the force that makes an apple fall from a tree,” they’d just say, “Of course it does.”
Learning through experience is the best. What you learn with your body, you never forget. …I haven’t ridden a bicycle in a long time, but I wonder if I still can?
“Orietta!”
This is bad. Orietta is caught between the gravity walls. That’s the same force that crushed Alana’s clones. Even for Lorietta… can a strong girl endure that!?
Godspeed! Mode Six!
The hole in my lungs is sealed. I can breathe. I’ll ignore the holes in my chest and back! Charge! Cut through the gravity wall!
The strong girl Lor… Orietta is gentle and kind, a gothic lolita girl with chubby cheeks. But now her muscles are bulging as if her clothes are about to rip, and she’s resisting the gravity wall.
I don’t want to see that. I don’t want to see Orietta like that. What kind of muscular face does she have now? I’m curious, but I don’t want to further ruin my image of cute Orietta. I slashed at the gravity wall Orietta was holding back, but my wooden sword stopped halfway through the clay-like wall.
“Sophia! Laser at the Demon Lord! You two idiots! You too!”
Even if I can’t cut the gravity wall, there’s a limit to how many I can create. To remove Orietta’s wall, I have to aim directly at the Demon Lord and make her use her defense for the wall!
“Who are you calling an idiot!”
“It’s not us, right?”
It’s you guys still having pointless arguments over there. I’m definitely not talking about the two fighting on the front lines. I stepped on the invisible wall and pulled out my wooden sword.
It’s definitely a wall there. From the feel of the cut, it’s about two meters high. About thirty centimeters thick? Can’t even Mode Six cut it, or is my wooden sword dull? I have to deal with this if I want to land a blow on the Demon Lord.
Sophia’s laser was reflected back at me as if it hit a mirror, and the six thousand swords also attacked me. Even though there are many people around, they’re only targeting me. It feels like bullying.
Priscilla and Alana are blocked by the gravity wall, either slashing at it, running away, or being blown away. However, thanks to my noble sacrifice, Orietta escaped the gravity wall.
“Welcome back, darling. Shall we have dinner? Or a bath? Or perhaps… me…”
“A treatment! Quickly attach my right hand! And seal the holes!”
Thousands of micro-lasers, six thousand greatswords. All of them came flying at me! My body is riddled with holes. My right arm was severed from the upper arm.
I’m not dying from this, so I should call myself immortal or a con artist. “The Immortal Hero,” “The Con Artist Hero.” My two epithets are decided.
Sophia, known as “Sophia of Platinum,” unhappily healed me and sent me back to the front lines.
My whole body aches, and my healed skin feels stretched. If I move too much, the wound will open, and I’ll spew blood, which would make Rufina happy.
I should have chosen Sophia’s offer. Or maybe Christine, who’s become a wall decoration? Either would be fine, but maybe both?
Speaking of which, why isn’t the Demon Lord using the gravity wall against Sophia and Rufina of the magic group? Christine is being pushed against the wall, so perhaps she has the余裕 to not care about magic?
Magic can’t break through the gravity wall. But Christine’s “Support power” can cause cardiac arrest in anyone without any action.
Is Christine being held back to prevent her from using her power? I don’t even know how Christine’s power activates, and it takes time to paralyze larger hearts.
Is the Demon Lord’s biggest enemy Christine? Over my head as the Hero, over me, who’s fighting covered in blood, over me, Ashtal’s Count and Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, over me, who’s cool, strong, and popular with girls!?
Unforgivable! I’ll show you who the star of this stage is. I’ll pay the director to have you replaced! After that, we’ll change the genre from action to romance!
“Have a good trip,” I was sent off with those words as I boarded a packed train. Pushed from behind, pulled from the front… It’s the same.
Indeed, the Demon Lord’s wall, which even Mode Six can’t cut through. The Demon Lord, who unleashes forces that could tear us apart if we let our guard down, has us lacking a finishing move.
We’re flying around, running away, slashing, being blown away and crushed. Despite all this effort, the Demon Lord shows no sign of fatigue. Even the cheat Mode Six is starting to get dangerous.
“Replenishment! And my legs too!”
I received replenishment of stamina with a hot kiss from Sophia, and my crushed legs were healed with healing magic. How many times have I received stamina replenishment and healing magic? For some reason, I feel like I’m the only one getting seriously injured.
Rufina and Rossa, while casting support magic, were seriously discussing how to divide me. “I want half of your heart, so diagonally. I’ll give you my liver, so I want your pancreas, cut down the middle,” they were discussing happily while I was receiving replenishment.
Sophia is also giving stamina replenishment and healing magic to Platinum, Alana, and Orietta, sending them off in less than ten seconds with “Here’s replenishment, here’s healing, now go,” but it takes about three minutes for me, with both of them. Now it takes three minutes with kisses.
During those three minutes, I need chest compressions or I’ll die. Christine seems to be busier targeting me than the Demon Lord.
How long has it been since Priscilla became a golden Lycanthrope? Now she seems to be tired just from emitting plasma while covered in gold.
At that time, when I caught Priscilla as she was sent flying, I felt numb as if I’d been hit with a stun gun and couldn’t move. Of course, Priscilla kicked me all the way to Sophia.
Orietta’s movements are slower compared to ours. That makes her easier to get caught by the gravity wall, but she’s holding on with her inherent power. I shouldn’t have looked, Orietta’s face at that moment. I’ll have Rufina erase my memory later.
The only one trying hard is Alana. She can’t seem to create clones anymore and is bravely challenging the Demon Lord alone. Sometimes her concentration breaks, and she chases after something else, but it’s okay.
Everyone’s limits are approaching. My stamina should hold up since it’s being forcibly injected, but being cut, crushed, and stabbed the most, and then immediately sent back out, is mentally taxing.
The Demon Lord must be tired too, but she hasn’t even broken a sweat. Not sweating on her face, she’s perfect for an actress. She really is trying to knock me out…
Speaking of which, the Demon Lord’s gravity wall seems to be shrinking. The strength of her power hasn’t changed, though. She crushed my knees in an instant just a moment ago.
But it was from the knee down. At that height, it wouldn’t be strange if one leg was crushed. The Demon Lord is tired too. Let’s end this.
“Priscilla! Lend me your strength!”
Against the Demon Lord, there’s no way I can handle this alone. Killing the Demon Lord requires resolve. The resolve to sacrifice one person.
“What are you going to do!? We can’t reach her!”
“All-out attack! Alana, have your clones circle around from the left and behind!”
“If I create clones, I won’t be able to move.”
“It’s fine! Orietta, you go right. Magic group, unleash your spells! Let’s go!”
With Mode Two, I matched Priscilla and Alana’s pace. One for Christine, two to bend magical attacks. Two to crush Orietta’s charge from the sides.
Using five gravity walls, a further two to crush Alana’s clones that had moved to the rear. That’s seven, leaving at most two. One to blast away Priscilla’s charge with a gravity wall. And one gravity wall stands before me.
Godspeed! Mode Six!
I shouldn’t slash. If I stop it with the gravity wall, I won’t reach the Demon Lord. Now for a full-powered thrust. Aiming for the Demon Lord’s head, the finishing thrust, enhanced by Alma’s horns, pierced the gravity wall, and was just a little bit away from her face…
I felt the gravity wall penetrate. But my body… It was stopped and pushed by the wall, then pushed back. I was sent flying backward.
I was sent flying towards the tip of the halberd held by Priscilla. But calmly, I gripped the Orietta Knife of my prosthetic tentacle arm.
