I Became a Beautiful Girl, but I’m still an MMO Junkie - Chapter 78: The Disappointing Girl and Devil Glasses
Chapter 78: The Disappointing Girl and Devil Glasses
“Yuu!”
As Yuuki was struck by the Giant zombie, he appeared to have been squashed from my point of view. It was like he was being trampled on by a wild, raging gorilla.
Yuuki Lv9 HP21/450
“I’m okay.” he reported his survival in a voice that seemed to have been forced out somehow. It seems like he was able to withstand the blow.
“Whoa!”
“Ei-ya!”
Taking advantage of the Giant zombie’s attack on Yuuki, Kouya followed up with several punches, and Yurachi slashed with both swords, attacking the enemy’s feet.
“Goooo!”
The counterattacks attempted by the two seemed to have momentarily flustered the Giant Zombie.
But in the next moment, the giant spread out its large arms and began to wildly flail them around, as if trying to sweep us all away in one go.
The attacks of its thick arms, wildly thrown out, were like a storm of logs.
Everyone tried to escape from the range and retreat to the corner of the house, but we could not escape the long reach of the giant’s arms.
“Everyone, close your eyes!”
Taking the opportunity, I closed my eyes and struck one of the Flashing Stone with my small sword.
I felt a strong light behind my eyelids and immediately opened my eyes to observe the state of the Giant Zombie.
“Wh…what, gu…od…what are you… doing…”
“Incredible!”
While looking dazed and confused, the Giant Zombie had spoken intelligible words. Everyone on the scene was excited by this event.
But the Giant Zombie immediately gave a painful-sounding moan and struck the ground with all its might.
“Guwaaaargh!”
“Taro, do that thing from earlier again! If we get hit by another attack like that, we’re finished!”
Responding to Kouya’s cry, I used the Flashing Stone again.
And for just a little while, I managed to stop the movement of the Giant Zombie.
We must do everything we can in this time.
First, I held the Emerald Tear Potion in both hands and used it quickly on Yuuki twice. This brought our party’s tank to full HP.
“We have no choice!”
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
“Charge!”
“Leave it to me!”
The Giant Zombie was kneeling with its head in its hands, trembling under the Luna Homunculus while being subjected to a full-party attack.
But its body did not even flinch.
Everyone’s attacks only managed to shave off a little bit of flesh, and the Giant Zombie, released from the light curse of the Flashing Stone, raised its right arm.
“The target is Yurachi!”
Yuuki, who was preparing for the next attack, missed his prediction and quickly issued a warning to Yurachi.
“Ah, me!? What the hell!?”
The ground shook violently and Yuuki’s question was forcibly erased.
Yurachi Lv10 HP87/280
“A residual attack did this much damage!? If it was me who was directly hit instead of Yuu, I’d be dead instantly!” While dexterously rolling on the ground, Yurachi, who had barely managed to evade the attack of the Giant Zombie, said in amazement.
“Use ‘Appeal’ again! I think the target moved to Yurachi because the Giant zombie is weak against the red attribute!”
While drawing the attention of the Giant Zombie, Yuuki frantically analyzed and communicated the situation with everyone.
“I see. My beloved sword, the ‘Great Ring Fire Slash,’ has a weak flame attribute, so that’s why!”
Again, during the moment when Yuuki received another attack from the Giant Zombie, Yurachi and Kouya recklessly attacked.
Anon-san was also fiercely cutting the waist of the giant zombie with some kind of Naginata skill.
“Great flame, avenge the great grudge!”
And, timing it with when the Giant Zombie’s attack target moved to Yurachi, who had a flame sword, Mina finished chanting.
Fireball!
The two flame bullets that our priestess shot hit the face of the Giant Zombie perfectly.
“Bufu…”
However, whether it was due to its huge endurance or its face already being covered in burns, the enemy didn’t collapse.
“I can’t stand this…”
Appeal!
To prevent the enemy’s target from moving to Mina, Yuuki activated his ability and moved away from everyone a little bit.
I was worried whether we could withstand another attack. As I started to feel anxious, the assist log suddenly opened up.
The buff of the wind fairy, Elegant Whisper of the High Wind, has been activated
‘Is this the thing where Fu whispers her own knowledge and insights to me?!”
‘I hope it comes true.’
‘Good job, Fu!’
Looking at Fu with a desire to cling to even a piece of straw, the fairy, who had now become a Wind Maiden Sylph, pointed to one spot with a good-humored smile even though we were in the middle of a battle.
“Taru… Taru…♪ That light looks suspicious! Let’s defeat that light!”
“Hmm?”
It was more reasonable to deal with the giant in front of me rather than somehow manage the hovering Homunculus…
However, since Fu said it with confidence, there might be something there. So, I decided to take to the sky, with the help of Fu, and tried to approach the Luna Homunculus. I also switched to the title, Rebel Who Cuts the Vanguard, which increased my critical rate.
At that time, a thunderous sound echoed from behind and I noticed that Yuuki’s HP in the party member column had decreased significantly.
“Hey, Taru! I’ll rely on you for a potion!”
“Wait a minute! It seems like defeating this guy is the better choice!”
Since I already had my small sword grasped in my right hand, I used my left hand to break one Emerald Tear Potion and recover Yuuki’s HP to about half.
“Leave the Homunculus alone! Rather, come help Yuuki!”
Although Kouya called out to me with a worried voice, I focused on the floating Luna Homunculus.
“Fu!”
This time, taking advantage of the failure of being counterattacked last time, I planned to have Fu generate a strong wind from above and rain down a single sword stroke when the opponent collapses.
‘I can do it!’
‘The flickering Homunculus won’t be able to react to my sword strike.’
Just as I was convinced of that, it looked like a small person in the light sneered.
As expected, the Luna Homunculus avoided my attack and gracefully turned in the sky and approached me from behind.
‘I’ll receive another shockwave.’
Thinking that, I forcibly twisted my body and tried to at least hit the opponent with a single sword strike.
However, there was a situation far beyond my expectations happening there.
“What?”
A single arrow… was stuck in the blue-white Homunculus.
Without understanding what had happened, the Luna Homunculus, which had been shot, wobbled down and disappeared.
The next moment, there was a loud noise as something fell and the indoor shook with a thud. The Giant Zombie fell without any warning.
“What’s going on here?”
“What do you mean?”
While Yuuki and Yurachi were confused, Kouya seemed to be satisfied with something as he looked at me.
“You’re the one who did it, right?”
His glasses-wearing handsome face seemed to be asking me that.
“When the Homunculus disappeared, the giant also fell…”
Everyone, including me, had been mistaken. The Giant Zombie hadn’t awoken under the moonlight, but as long as the blue and white light of the Luna Homunculus remained, it was only a corpse that continued to move.
That’s why, as soon as we slaughtered the Luna Homunculus, we were able to stop the Giant Zombie that had been rampaging.
The mystery has been solved. However, the question of who shot the arrow that eliminated the Luna Homunculus, and from where, still remained.
As I was wondering about this new question, the answer was given to me from nearby.
“I did it! I saved you all from your pinch! I’m an Angel!”
A female mercenary with a bow and arrow appeared from the gap in the door.
Her twin-tailed golden hair shook as if she was a cheerful puppy, but the equipment she wore exposed her body a lot, despite looking like a middle school girl.
There’s no one else who’s a forbidden fruit-smelling beautiful young female mercenary. It could only be Lily-san.
“Bow down to my achievement and thank me!”
While laughing loudly, she said something like that.
“Uh, well… Thank you for your help.”
I was perplexed as to how she had suddenly appeared in such a place. But she did help us, so I should at least thank her.
While everyone was surprised by Lily, I began to walk over to her.
However, Kouya quickly circled behind her and slashed her, causing her to fall to the ground, convulsing in the same way as when she was inflicted with the paralysis debuff.
Kouya spoke; “Quick question, isn’t she also an enemy?”
The glasses-wearing handsome man looked down at the crumpled twin-tailed, golden-haired middle school girl with disgust.
“Well, that was easier than I expected. It’s useful to have a debuff ability against mercenaries under 15 years old.”
He lifted his glasses as he looked at her pitiful state.
T/N: So, I noticed that in my translations, I’ve been going between “Taro” and “Taru
” without using any consistently. So now I’ll be using only “Taru”. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience.
Also I thank you for your comments, I read them and correct my mistranslations if they are pointed out.
