“Everyone, lend her your strength!”
“We will!”
The three Bards, whose levels far surpassed 100, focused their attacks into a single point with their new skill. This was under Nina’s command, and their target was the Sexy Diamond Golem.
“Then, Lord Baird!”
“Understood, understood! Understood!”
White Frontbeard wrapped the Golem in all of his tentacles, gathering power. He then unhesitatingly hurled the AI Magic Stone crystal, ‘Shear,’ towards it!
(It’s going in!!!)
He threw it, and the result was…
“Kyaaaaaaa—?!”
It wasn’t surprising the Golem was startled. ‘Gla’ jumped in front of it, as if to shield ‘Shear,’ becoming a shield. And then… they collided!
*Bang… Riiiiiiii—!!!*
(A mutual destruction, it shattered!!!)
Seeing this, Clarice shouted!
“Quickly retrieve them! If the shattered fragments are this size, they’ll stick together again this time! Just make sure they don’t mix with ‘Gla’!”
“Baird!”
“Understood! Understood! Understood!”
Called by Helen, Lord Baird carefully selected the fragments that fell onto the grass course and retrieved them with his tentacles. Haitou also descended to perform Resurrection Magic.
(First, one down!)
“Now, it’s my turn.”
“Nina, it’s coming from over there!”
Next, ‘Xeno’ approached with incredible speed, as if fired from ‘Shear.’ Who would stop it…
“I will not let you!!”
Once again proving invaluable, the Tank Assassin, Iwamoto, met it head-on with a straightforward approach, wielding his ‘Sasumata’!
(…But seriously, isn’t this speed dangerous?!)
And as expected…
*Bang… Kiiiiiieeeee—!!!*
(It broke!!!)
“Wh-what?!”
“Good work, Iwamoto. Hmph!”
This time, Nina swung her Berserk Sword with all her might at the halted ‘Xeno’! The result…
*Bariiiiiii—!!!*
(It broke and shattered!!!)
The Berserk Sword broke into four pieces, and ‘Xeno’ shattered, falling onto the sand course!
“Nina!”
“I’m fine, Deles. My arm’s just numb.”
She had dropped the grip of her sword as well. ‘Gla’ and ‘Xeno,’ which could only be defeated through such brute force, had been dealt with. The plan to use the Bards’ power for an “Instant Death Attack with no time to Heal” seemed to have succeeded.
(Yes, excluding the great boss that still remains…!)
‘Shear,’ one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, floated ominously, spinning. Its true identity was a living Magic Stone, and it seemed to have become angry, its rotation accelerating.
“Everyone, I have a bad feeling about this. Be ready!”
Immediately after Clarice’s warning, an unpleasant high-pitched sound echoed in their heads!
“Guaaaaaah!!”
This… my head, my head feels like it’s splitting apart! It felt like it was attacking their brains… everyone was writhing in agony!
(There was a move like this?!)
Then, towards Nina, who was closest to ‘Shear,’ it suddenly charged! Ah, dangerously close!
“Tough!”
A fist blocked it. Stepping in between was… MAINA?!
“Ouch, ouch, ouch. My fist feels like it’s broken.”
So, that thing called headphones had blocked the special attack! It seemed ‘Shear’ had also taken some damage and retreated momentarily, but MAINA quickly went to Clarice to receive Healing Magic…
“Aaaaa—!!”
The one who screamed here was Anju!
“What is it?!”
“Deles, Deles, I checked on MAINA.”
“Get to the point!”
“You can summon a fourth person!!”
A fellow Otherworlder?!
“Right now?!”
“Please wait a moment.”
As Anju descended, fragments of ‘Shear’ or some robot-like entity attacked. But the Succubi defended against them while following.
(The fourth Otherworlder, wasn’t it… a Bard?!)
In the middle of the course, before a remarkably high jump hurdle, Anju prepared a Magic Stone. Meanwhile, we tried to approach ‘Shear,’ but… it was no use!
“Damn it, Nataira, this is…”
“Yes, ‘Ultrasonic Attack.’ It seems to have switched from Healing Magic to this!”
Did it start using this because it no longer had subordinates to heal!
“Is there anything we can do!”
“Cover your ears! Ah?”
The ultrasound stopped, but the crack that MAINA had inflicted was instantly repaired… and it returned to normal!
(Incredible healing ability.)
And then, the ultrasound started again!
“Ughhhhhh!!”
This *kee-een* sound, my head feels like it’ll split, my brain feels like it’s being destroyed. At this rate, I’m going to go insane!
“I’ve finished preparing—!!”
At this timing, Anju finished her preparations and summoned… the fourth Otherworlder!
“Come forth, my tattered, former idol—!!!”
Thus summoned, the figure that appeared was…
(What in the world, a dressed-up old lady appeared—!)
Mysterious, festive music played. The Succubi behind her were also dancing for some reason! She then brought something to her mouth, and the Item name was apparently ‘Mic’.
“Now, please listen to the debut song of ‘Wanderer Girls’… ‘Heroine’!”
