Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There Is A Problem - Chapter 374.2
Chapter 374.2. The Final Boss Is Strong
[Five-Finger Finishing Touch]
A magical thrust with a sword that has turned into five light bullets. With a grating and unpleasant sound, the light bullets accurately hit the joint part of the slightly visible section of the Snake Belly Sword.
The joint part of the rapidly moving snake belly sword is supposed to be only a few millimeters, but it’s a terrifying skill.
The God Sword, whose joint part was attacked, rattles, and I can’t move it smoothly anymore.
I have no choice but to retract it. If I keep using it in snake belly form, it’ll break down like a necklace with a broken chain.
Twisting my hand, I pull it back, and the divine sword transforms back into a straight sword. With a shalari sound, like rubbing snake scales, the God Sword returns to a straight sword.
“You’ve left an opening, Takano Miu!”
“Ah!”
Exploiting the opening created by returning to a straight sword, Shin dives in. My shoulder gets cleanly cut. Platinum blood sprays out, glittering in the air, and I grimace in pain.
“Shin-kun, you’re strong!”
[Void Flame Barrage]
Backing away to create distance, I shoot dark flames centered around the abyss.
These flames burn the very existence itself. If this hits, it should cause significant damage.
A flame about the size of an index finger. However, it’s a special move infused with my power.
“Using magic like that, huh!”
Watching the fast-flying flame bullets, Shin laughs joyfully, dancing like leaves, fluttering and evading.
Reading the trajectory, he shifts his body just before it hits, narrowly avoiding it. Just a little more, but it doesn’t hit!
“It won’t hit because it’s a straight line! Teiya!”
It’s about curves, shoots, forks, spoons, and winning with a spoon! Pouring my power into it, I manipulate the flame bullets with my thoughts, making them move in a curve to prevent Shin from predicting the trajectory.
Even the avoided flame bullets make a large turn and come back. If they get dodged, it’s over.
Crossing paths, moving sharply, closing in on Shin. Shin races through the air, trying to dodge the flame bullets.
“Hehehe, my flame bullets will chase you to the ends of the earth!”
Perfect tracking is also a feature of my magic. I put my hand on my waist, feeling proud.
However, it seems it was a bit too early to feel proud.
“It seems you can’t dodge this!”
Looking at the flame bullets that continue to turn even after evasion, Shin stops in mid-air. Should I show a bit of a resigned attitude or a boss-like performance? While nervously considering this, it seems Shin didn’t give up after all.
[Magic Break]
An invisible wave is emitted from Shin’s shaded hand. The flame bullets that were tracked are instantly destroyed as soon as they touch the wave.
Seeing every last trace of the flame bullets vanish, I open my mouth in surprise. That magic…!
“Hehehe, my power as Yggdrasil is different now. Of course, [Magic Break] is also more powerful than the original. It has become a magic that can even destroy the principles of other worlds.”
Looking at me, Shin opens and closes his hands with pride. Hmm, that magic is really troublesome!
“Now it’s my turn!”
[Flowing Acceleration]
“Tei!”
Shin kicks the air and instantly approaches. I swing the God Sword at him when he comes in front, but he moves like flowing water, effortlessly evading. As a result, I take a kick to the stomach and my body bends in a ‘く’ shape.
“Haaaah!”
[Nova Break]
Shin shouts, releasing an immense power. As starlight emerges around him, he converges it into the sword.
“Haa!”
As all the power concentrates on the sword, Shin swings it down with full force. I try to defend with the God Sword, but I get blown away as I can’t stop the powerful energy-imbued sword.
My body falls like a meteor, crashing into the ground. A massive explosion occurs, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a sandstorm blows out, creating a crater.
“Ow……”
In the dust, I sink into the ground, coughing. It hurts a lot, and I feel like crying. I’m covered in wounds, my body creaks, and some bones might be broken. Even if I were to heal, it would still be quite painful. I might end up with teary eyes.
And more importantly than that.
[Hey, in power, technique, and speed, it seems I’m losing.]
This is unexpected. I was supposed to surpass everything, but I’m losing in all aspects?
[Certainly, you’re slightly losing in power compared to Yggdrasil. It’s unavoidable that you’re losing in speed since power is inferior. The real problem is losing in technique. What have you been doing until now?]
As the old man asked in the spiritual world, I pondered. What have I been doing until now? Maybe I don’t even need to think about it.
[While observing, poking around in the system, and eating parfait!]
[Well, no wonder you’re losing!]
[Kyaa, Mii-chan thinks so too!]
I see. So, even though I gained power, I was just being tossed around because I was weak! Oh no.
But doesn’t this feel a bit like a final boss situation?
[I can’t lose like this.]
[So, what will you do? You’re losing in everything, right?]
Is there some ultimate move? Should I use my [The Strongest Magic I Thought Of]?
[In the current situation, it will either be evaded or blocked by [Magic Break].]
[Mii-chan understands!]
To the exasperated old man, Mii-chan raises her hand. Surprisingly, I want to know too. I shake my hand and eagerly ask.
[Eeeh, tell me, tell me~!]
[Hehehehe. Well, you see~]
As the sandstorm clears, Shin descends, and Michi-chan crawls out of the hole.
“The of us have to do our best!”
Wide-eyed, Mii-chan raises her hand and emerges from the hole.
