Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 459

 

As Long as the Result is Good, Everything is Fine



"Are you going to fire it in that condition?"


I am on board the airship as a fire control and receive orders from the captain.


"Yes, hurry!"


"Wait, if we do this, the ballista will break!"


The command is simple


The Divine Spear that fires with just one


I was told to bundle five of them with steel wire and fire them.


"Yes, the ballista will break, and there may be repercussions. As soon as you're ready to fire, step away."


"No, that's not what I meant..."


"If it breaks, you won't be held responsible. It's an order from Yukikaze-sama."


"…I understand!"





----------------





"Preparations and deployment of all airships are complete."


"I see. I was just about to reach my limit."


Has it been about 20 minutes since I attracted Vouivre?


Enemy movement remains slow but has become more complex


Even if we can't communicate, it seems it's not stupid.


"I'll send you the operational coordinates."


Along with Ginkei's words, I see a red ring in one place in my field of vision.


"What's this?"


"This is a new type of combat support function."


"No, how can you make a ring like that in the air?"


"It's going straight to Shiro Edgeworth's brain."


"…Am I gonna be okay?"


I mean, will it cause brain frying or some such malfunction?


"If it's an ordinary person, it'll need special goggles, but I calculated that Shiro Edgeworth could withstand it, so I tested it."


"Hey, what would happen if you did that to an ordinary person?"


"You'd see the ring in the center of your vision forever."


"Don’t test it without permission, you idiot!"


"...Tehepero"


"You think I will forgive you if you say that without emotion?"


What should I do if the ring did not disappear from my sight?


"We've reached the target!"


"Then please do something to get it to open its mouth."


"You haven’t said anything like that!"


"I thought you could manage."


"That's not appropriate!"


I'm really going to smack this guy later!


Vouivre approached us regardless.


"Ora! Open your mouth!"


I fired the biggest sword I could create from my palm towards its face.


That sword contains as much mana as possible.


The moment Vouivre recognizes it, it opens its praying mantis-like mouth and tries to bite it.


"That's enough space!"


The sword rushes into the mouth before being crushed.


"Alright!"


I stepped inside its mouth so it wouldn't close


"All the ballistas have been fired."


"Their judgment is so quick!"


Less than a second had passed since I held it down, and I already received a report that it had been fired.


And dozens of Divine Spear approached right in front of me.


"(Ah, if I fail to avoid this, I'll probably die too, right?)"


Slow evasion timing -> die together with Vouivre


Fast evasion timing → Vivre closes its mouth and the divine spear explodes in its face → All the impact comes to me


There's only one way to survive!


"Uoooooohhhh!"


I spread Vouivre's mouth with all my might


I stare at the Divine Spear without blinking.


"Isn’t this the most desperate situation you’ve ever been?"


"It’s your fault!"


My desperation was worth it, and I was able to take miraculous evasive action.


Divine Spears enter its mouth just as I'm about to pop out of it.


"Brace for impact."


Vouivre closes its mouth for a moment.


The sound and impact was like seeing fireworks up close.


And Vouivre's torso begins to bulge out in distorted ways.


It burst like a water balloon


Instead of water, a large amount of flesh and blood splashed into the air.


The force of the explosion was so great that even the airship in the distance was stained red


"It’s... not over!"


"The falling pieces of flesh are generating massive Almana Quantum reactions."


I flew to where the mana was coming from.


A pile of falling pieces of meat


There was only one pulsating object there.


"Is this the heart?"


"You could call it a nucleus. If you leave it alone, it could regenerate in a few hundred years."


"I see."


Things like this are just dangerous.


I cut it into pieces with the sword I took out


"Phew..."


"This time it's over."


"No, I have some unfinished business."


"Is it Malkin?"


"There's that, too."


"…...?"


"A sermon for you!"


"If you had an alternative plan, why didn't you just implement it? If you complain about a successful strategy when there is no alternative, isn't that selfish? In the first place, we are supposed to be recognized as a family. And if that is the case, even if the operation is a bit reckless, it is because we trust each other, so..."


That's a good excuse, but I won't allow it.
