Arms Otome - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

「Ente, Jenny, Maevis . Engage with the Demon in full power! 」

Yato’s voice echoed through the silent wilderness of the evening . Despite hearing her call, the Demon Molva didn’t move . To him, it was certain that this party is strong . They could even be considered in the upper class if compared to other triple party .

But he knew, they won’t be enough to defeat him .

Even if several Triple parties fought against him, Molva was confident that he would be able to beat them easily .

As a matter of fact, a demon is certainly a very powerful being . If strength is to be tested, Molva alone could bring down the town of Valsa into ruins .

But that won’t be interesting is what he thought .

The same is also true when he tried using the power of undead to take over the town . It was not only to stay out of Ruruka’s radar that is after him, the main reason was because it was more fun to do so .

For him, even making the mage Ganga be engulfed by his feelings and turning into an undead was interesting along with seeing a former human and other humans fight each other .

But all of that meticulous work ended up as a failure because of a saint . And in order for Molva to ease the feeling of frustration from his failed plan, it was important for him to take her life in the most unpleasant way possible .

His fun time might have been prematurely disrupted, but now she will instead use the saint as a form of entertainment in exchange .

He certainly wanted to slowly have his entertainment using the saint for a while, however……

Right in front of them Molva unleashed his attack, but that didn’t even reach Ente、Jenny、Maevis .

Although it was not with all his strength, he was expecting that they would at least suffer a few wounds . He was even expecting it to be close to fatal wounds . After that he thought that it would have been quite interesting to see how the saint would react when her friend become undead one by one .

Molvathen laughed horrendously as if he had come up with a great idea .

But as Molva attacked, he felt a little strange when Maevis received the blow .

（What is this? It felt like I hit something extremely hard just now）

It was obviously not the same as before .

As a matter of fact, instead of stepping back Maevis actually presses forward .

Molva was astonished by the fact that he was losing against her in terms of strength .

「Haaaaaa!!」

Ente quickly comes out from the side to strike his body .

Her movement was clearly different from before, it’s to the point that even Molva couldn’t follow it with his eyes .

（Fun~, it would be useless anyway）

Molva didn’t dodge and instead received the attack with confidence . Before, the most she could do was put a scratch on his outer shell is what he expected . That is what he expected, that is until it pierced through Molva’s shell and cut into his muscles .

「Guaaaaaaaa!!」

For the first time since the battle started, this was the first real damage the he has received .

A deep wound made its way through Molva’s stomac, and blood was dripping down from it .

（What the hell is this? Why is this happening? ）

Molvais certainly confused . During the battle until now, it was impossible for him to receive any damage . Not to mention the people who actually wounded him was mere humans .

As he noticed another one attack, he prepared to fire his black flaming breath .

「Soryaaaa!!!」

Molva barely dodged the piercing attack from the lightning infused spear . However it was not a complete evasion as a deep laceration could be found that was gouged through his shoulder .

「Gugooooaa」

She pierced through his hard shell, tore through his muscles and even burnt them with lightning . It was definitely not on the same level as the previous attacks . For the first time since the fight has started, Molva understood that there was no more room to just play around .

Good luck everyone .

I pray as I watch the fight between Ente’s group and the Demon . I could clearly see the difference in their movements compared to before . The reason for that is because I leveled up everyone in exchange for almost everything I’ve saved up .

It was not only from the money that I have saved and left untouched, only the pocket money of 150 thousand was left .

Also by defeating the huge amount of undead from before, that money was also increased by a lot .

The system where one can’t raise levels during battle is not exclusive to 「ARMS Otome」 but also to other games that I could think of .

But now that everything became a reality, such restrictions were also removed .

Of course, there was also the possibility that they may not be able to win even with the upgrades, but………

Believing in everyone’s is also not wrong!

I firmly held Erina who became a bow . I will definitely get you some treatment when we return to town .

So please be patient and wait a little more .

A voice saying 「You don’t have to worry, Ojou-sama」is what I felt that I have heard coming from Erina .

The demons are certainly strong beings . I was thinking that the power of the demon is still certainly stronger even if they have leveled up .

That is just how strong a demon―― a quasi-disaster class monster is .

It may not be definitely wrong to consider that was a Raid Boss .

But if Ente and the others are working together, they’re power can become many times much stronger .

It is not just based on numerical data .

Those children are the ones who think and act on their on their own using their strategies .

But still, the demon might still not have been an opponent that would be easily matched .

Even when I’m looking from a faraway spot from the battle, I am still able to understand that his attack patterns have changed and became even more complicated .

The battle continued as Ente’s white silver sword tears the demon up every time a gap was present . Jenny also does the same delivering lightning charged attacks pierces through his hard shell .

The shockwaves and flames were easily blocked and prevented by Maevis . Also during momentary gaps, she also engages with attacks . And during that moment, she was able to trigger a paralysis attack . Of course it would easily be resisted in just a moment, but that moment alone would already be enough for Ente to deliver a strong attack .

I was thinking that it would have been really bad if the demon became serious when the fight began . But right now Ente and Jenny’s attack was definitely taking effect .

Right now, my special skills would probably be very effective .

The demon was getting more and more irritated as he sheds off blood when they continue their attack . Although you could only hear shockwaves from his attacks, Ente and Jenny are now dodging it with ease . Also along with them dodging is a counter attack . But as expect of a demon, it was really tough . Ente and Jenny were certainly delivering damage, but were still moving as if it wasn’t even wounded . But despite the seemingly endless physical prowess, there will always be a limit to how much one can last . I wonder if Ente’s ability to reduce attack power of demons and undead is also taking effect . Maevis also slams the demon with her shield every time she gets a chance .

As I was watching the girls fighting, I couldn’t help but think that it was beautiful . Ente was like a dancer moving around the demon while swinging her sword like she was in a dance . Jenny was also in the same way who was guiding the demon like a weird moth as she danced paired with Ente . In between the two people who move in fluent offense, Maevis continues to block and take away the Demon’s attention . It also seemed like it tried releasing several shockwaves towards me but was all blocked by Maevis .

I kept on wishing for everyone to succeed as they continued the battle . And I know, the long seemingly endless battle was about to reach it’s endd .

「Guaaaaa, this annoying humans… For me to actually be like this!!」

Probably thinking as a last resort, the demon aimed straight at me . His scorching red eyes were lock-on to me . Although I prepared to receive an attack, it was futile because it was not able to close in to me .

「Don’t you dare approach Master!」

「Disappear!!」

Ente with her shining sword cuts a deep wound on the demon’s neck, while Jenny with her sparking spear pierces through his stomach .

「Gah……Impo……For…a mere…human…to…I…」

After the attack which became a finishing blow, the giant demon fell down on the ground .

I was still on alert waiting if the demon would still move . Ente also didn’t drop down her guard yet . However, a few moments later, the demon turned into golden particles of light . The particles then like always, flowed into me .

「Finally, ended………」

Listening to the sound of coins in my head, I couldn’t help but sit down as the tension goes away . It hasn’t been a full day yet since I was kidnapped and morning hasn’t arrived yet . But still, it fekt like it was a really long time that passed . But finally, it’s over .

Ahhh, I want to take a bath, eat delicious food and then after that, have a little bit of beer!

I really want to be turned into a slob and just sleep with everyone today .

I could see everyone headed towards my place .

Un, un, you did well everyone . Erina too, thank you .

I greeted everyone with a smile in full bloom .

About an hour after Yato departed . A pair of young man and woman stood near the catacombs .

「SO, what do you think, Ruruka?」

「What do you mean, what do I think?」

「No, you see, didn’t you sense the Demon’s power?」

「That is without a doubt」

The man could only scratch his head in response . The girl called Ruruka was emotionless . She did nothing but stare at the aftermath of the battle .

「The demon is not here . The one who fought it also couldn’t be found」

「Because the battle ended, only the winner is to be found」

The girl didn’t show any emotion as she replied . The man couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders to her reaction .

「We arrived here as fast as we could . Was it probably ended much earlier than we expected? 」

「Guy was only late to arrive」

Ruruka cut off the man’s excuse .

Guy who was reprimanded couldn’t help but stare at the sky and replied in disatisfaction .

「Oi oi, It’s not that I am slow at using my skills .

How far did you think we have to jump off just to arrive here? 」

「We are late because you couldn’t make it in time . That is all」

Guy decided to ignore Ruruka’s remarks because he understands that it would be pointless even if he argues .

「But…… It’s weird the there isn’t any trace of the demon left here」

Ruruka touched the ground where she calculated to be the place where the demon fell .

「Don’t they erase everything in order to escape?」

Ruruka shook her head to Guy’s response .

「That’s not it . Everything is gone . The possibility of being defeated is high, but the disappearance is too unnatural」

「A person with capabilities of defeating a demon, did you hear of anyone arriving in this country?」

「Don’t know」

Guy thought about it . Is it some unknown hunter?

There are supposedly few hunters capable of defeating demons . There are also some of them that they are acquainted with .

「Could there also be a possibility of two demons fighting each other」

That is what Guy responded to Ruruka . But he also understood that such an occurrence is extremely rare .

If it was a high ranking dragon, or maybe a legendary mythical beast then it would be possible . But then it wouldn’t leave just this small amount of destruction . The terrain itself might even be changed in the aftermath of such fights . Then the best conclusion they could find would be two demons of the same rank fighting each other .

「Is probably someone like Ruruka?」

Ruruka didn’t respond to Guy’s words .

「It would have been great if we can fight together」

「Don’t expect it . Demons basically hate humans to their core . I am the only exception」

Guy responded to what Ruruka said in a joke .

「That’s right . I am just praying that I won’t go against you one day . Oh, even though I am a human, Ruruka doesn’t hate me, right? 」

「I don’t hate humans . But I hate Guy」

After Guy received her answer, he held Ruruka’s hand and then the figure of the two disappeared in the wilderness .
