After hesitating for a bit, the onis started attacking me.
“We should be able to kill her if we charged at her with our number.”
–or so they seem to have decided.
However, the onis have no way to deal with me, now that I have released my limits.
With the scattered corpses of the onis behind my back, I returned back to protecting the circle formation.
[Ayaka-chan…… Thank goodness, thank goodness……]
The weeping Moe wiped her tears.
Smiling towards her, I nodded in response.
(Even so……)
Inherent Skill.
I can’t believe that I unlocked it at a time like this.
I’ve already stopped relying on this—- but for it to appear at this timing…
I was a little puzzled.
However, I instantly shake off the bewilderment I’m feeling.
The onis aren’t the only enemies we have.
There’s still the medium-sized and even some larger monsters closing in.
I guess all I have to do now…… is kill them.
I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my people.
[……………………]
I remembered that to activate your inherent skill, you would have to pronounce the name skill’s name.
Lightly exhaling, I regulate my breathing.
[————] (T/N: Armament Battle Formation)
Then, it suddenly appeared in front of me.
A sphere.
It looks like mercury but it also looks like melted lead.
A large silvery sphere floating in the air……
It’s happened just slightly, but its surface silently rippled.
[What’s this……? What does this thing do?]
Summoning my status display, I quickly checked out the skill entries.
Information has been added to the skill column.
Under the skill’s name, something was written on it.
(Create? The ability to create something……? However, what does this create and how could I do that……)
In the meantime, the monsters came rushing in.
Perhaps, the only people left who managed to survive in this neighborhood were me and the others..
[Ugh……]
I’ve certainly learned an inherent skill, but I don’t know how to use them.
However, I can’t afford to take my time trying this skill out.
Once I exterminate the nearby monsters while my limits were released—– I’ll open up a way for the others.
I greatly leaped at the large monster which had its arms outstretched, standing in our way.
Stab!
I deeply pierced my spear on the large monster’s forehead.
Then, I immediately used , and tried exploding its head from the inside.
However…
[……………………]
I was only able to shave off about a fifth of its face.
I didn’t manage to stop its movements.
The difference in our sizes—- this was the bottleneck that I need to confront.
Just like that oni earlier, I can deal with them if they were just a little bigger than a human.
However, no matter how many unordinary movements I can make while I released my limits—–
(Against large monsters like this, I can’t help but feel like my power isn’t enough due to the difference in our size……! Even after I shaved off its head, I can’t believe that it could still move like this……!)
Violently shaking its head, the large monster shook me off.
Landing on the ground, I quickly turned back and readied to attack again.
With my feet that had its limits released, I kicked off the ground and leapt, trying to twist the blade of my spear into the wound I shaved off earlier.
However, that’s when it happened…
[———!]
I noticed that part of the circle formation was crumbling.
Moreover, when Kayako was trying to kill a nearby monster, another monster came swooping in behind her back—–
[No! Suou-san, behind you!]
(! No……)
My voice isn’t reaching them.
They seemed to be struggling against a medium-sized monster and everyone’s attention was on that one.
The other children also seem to have their hands full dealing with the monsters that are closing in on them.
Right now, I was in midair after I leapt.
There’s no way for me to suddenly rush towards them while in midair.
I glanced at my hand.
I guess I have no choice.
I threw the spear that was in my hand.
In the back of the head of the monster that was closing in on Kayako, the spear powerfully pierced through.
That’s also when Kayako finally noticed the monster that was closing in from behind her.
And that’s also—- when they noticed my condition right now.
[Sogou-san!]
I don’t have a weapon in hand.
No—– It’s not really reliable, but I do have a spare weapon.
I reached for the dagger on my waist.
Glare
The eyeballs of the large monster whose face I had shaved off was turned towards me.
At the same time, the monster stretched out its hand.
Without hesitation…
[!]
I plunged my dagger, which had its blade strengthened with magic, into the monster’s eye.
[Gyaaaaaooo!]
The monster screamed and violently shook its body.
I’m thrown out towards the air.
[!]
Losing control of my body while in midair, the monsters simultaneously jumped towards me.
Even though I’ve released my limits, I’m entirely defenseless in midair.
My dagger is still impaled in the monster’s eye.
I don’t have any weapons now.
[H- Hey, Nihei! The President’s in danger!]
[H- Half! Can half of us go save the President!? Oryaaahhh!]
[Kuh, it’s impossible! All of us were focusing everything on our defense!]
Neither nor can be activated without weapons.
I’ve already tried doing that before.
