Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 458

 

Everything Comes in Handy when Rightly Used



"Ginkei, what is it doing!"


Running as fast as it could on the ground


I caught up with Vouivre.


And the enemy appears to be taking a deep breath as it wraps itself around an Imperial airship.


"It's sucking up the mana used in the airship."


"What about the crew?"


"Everyone has escaped."


It is fortunate that there were no human casualties.


We can't afford any more casualties.


Vouivre then took several deep breaths in the sky.


A change occurred in its body


The outer shell cracked


The cracks are reinforced by the newly grown outer shell.


"Hey, it's doubled in size..."


"The upper body has been updated from about 5 meters to about 10 meters, and the lower body is estimated to be about 1.5 kilograms."


Are you saying that it grew up by absorbing mana?


I couldn't read its expression, but I immediately understood what it was trying to do.


It was staring at me.


It's not hard to see why


"The attack is coming..."


"I know, full liberation!"


How many years ago was that?


When I faced a huge lump of meat in Geldaria.


I haven't used it because it's a risky method.


I decided that I needed this power again now.


"Copy that. Commence full liberation."


Ginkei also seems to have decided it was for the best.


Immediately, a light shoots out from my back and it looks like I've grown wings.


It must have tugged at Vouivre's heartstrings.


It sticks out its long tail at me


"Take evasive action to the side..."


"Up there!"


I ignored Ginkei's words and flew into the sky


Apparently, Ginkei was unable to predict the enemy's attack method.


"Information update, I didn't expect the enemy to be this skillful."


"That's right, not only does it attack, but also carefully observes its opponent."


"Roger that."


The enemy's attack marks remain in a vast area under my feet.


The ground was melted into a beautiful grid like a Go board.


It's about 300 meters in length and width.


The timing when my body and its lower body pass each other


If it was a little later...


"I don't want to be a dice steak..."


"……..."


Ginkei-san, what are you thinking about?


"Can't we use it for torture?"


"What are you thinking?"


Even when talking to Ginkei, Vouivre attacks without mercy.


"The attack range and area have increased due to the lengthening of the lower body."


"Yeah, but the speed has slowed down."


It deftly uses its lower body as a net to launch attacks that cannot be avoided.


But that's not a problem once you get close enough.


"I'll cut off its lower half!"


I take out my great sword and swing it sideways with all my might.


But my sword, which should easily cut through steel, rock, and jewelry...


"Damn, it’s hard!"


It's just a small scratch on the outer shell.


"Then the joints!"


The joints are pierced.


And a huge amount of blood gushes out from that spot.


It must hurt like hell, because Vouivre goes berserk.


It starts swinging its lower body all over the place.


And in one place...


"Who was the one who just got mowed down?"


"It's the invasion force from the neighboring country."


I guess it's bad luck


Or maybe it's bad judgment.


Is it because the military strength has decreased?


It seems like it has progressed to this point.


The smell of burnt blood is noticeable even from a distance.


"Ah! Shit..."


Vouivre begins to eat the little charred corpse left behind.


It's frightening and infuriating, but


It was also an opportunity to attack.


"Ginkei, where is its heart?"


"Unknown"


Then I'll blow off its upper body.


If the great sword doesn't work, then use the oversized spear to strike with mass.


Make the tip thin, hard, and sharp.


Make the back end heavier and thicker.


"Crush it!"


And throw the spear with all my might


It pierces the torso, but


"Isn't there a heart in the torso?"


It was a blow that would have caused a human to lose all its internal organs.


In fact, there is a big hole in Vouivre.


"It finished its meal, but it seems like it like to have Shiro Edgeworth next?"


"Sorry, I'll cover it."


"It seems that the carbonized human dregs are not able to supplement its mana."


"...What should I do?"


"I have an idea."


"Is that a good idea?"


"Yes, I'll call it [Barbatt]"


"Barbatt?"


"Barbatt. The Viscount."


Ah!


I see what you're saying


"We'll use it."


"Then I'll contact each airship."


"Hurry up, I'll buy you some time."
