Gigantic monster, Behemoth.
To put it simply, it’s a really big elephant, but it’s like a small mountain or a castle moving around, so you might get a sense of its terrifying size.
Anyway, we won’t be able to end this emergency event until we defeat this elephant.
It doesn’t seem impossible for our party to take it down alone, but it would require an enormous amount of time and concentration.
Just as I was thinking that, classmates with abilities kept showing up.
For now, those joining the Behemoth hunt are—.
From my party, there’s me with my “Crafting Ability,” Chiyo with her “Healing Magic,” Seirin with her “Barrier Ability,” Shouji with her “Fur Beast Summoning Ability,” Shinpo with her “Attribute Magic,” Lumines with her “Light Heat Magic,” and Genju with his “Transformation Ability.”
Shouji summoned the Phantom Beast, which brought out the black dragon, Mikuron, and the gray griffin, Hyrou.
As an individual, there’s “Teleportation Ability” Tenpo.
From the Seihou party, there’s Yumishin with her “Shadow Manipulation Ability,” Momo with her “Clone Ability,” and Kengki with his “One Sword, Two Cuts.”
I’m using Momo’s ability to share information between clones to coordinate with those riding other Phantom Beasts.
Everyone more or less agreed, but there was also a pleasant surprise.
A new magic has appeared for each of Senyuu, Shinpo, and Lumina-sensei.
Lumina-sensei can now shoot out more beams at once.
Indeed, each strike now comes with a swarm of light and heat attacking the Behemoth.
As for Shinpo, it seems that in addition to the wind magic she already had, her fire and earth magic have also evolved.
“All right. Momo, I’m sorry, but…”
It’s about time for the Dharma Wheel to return.
He’s not good with young women, so it would be a problem if Momo were here.
“Ugh. Is meeting up with other guys more important than being hugged from behind by a beautiful girl like Momo?”
Momo tightens her grip on me, as if pouting.
The softness of her breasts changing shape against my back makes my heart race, but I can’t focus on that right now. ”…Don’t forget to thank me.” “Sure, leave it to me.”
The information sharing from my other self was quite helpful.
If a couple of crafts would be enough to repay me, I wouldn’t refuse. “See you later, Koji-kun.”
With a playful voice, she said her goodbye, and then I saw Momos body vanish.
Right after that, the Dharmachakra appeared as if on cue. “…Negotiations are complete.” “Oh, that’s great.”
“But what about you? You offered yourself as bait for the woman you love, right? If you leave this place for even a moment, won’t the other women be targeted?”
The Dharmachakra was evaluating me as a man who lives for love, but that was fine.
“That’s not a problem. My comrades have a way to avoid being recognized by the enemy.”
“…I see. But even so, Behemoth will start looking for another target if we take too long.” It was helpful that he understood quickly.
“Yeah. So I want to finish retrieving the plane in just a few seconds.”
“I understand. I’ll teleport right in front of the plane’s eyes and ask you to store it immediately. And then, I’ll return to the dragon’s back.” “I’ll do that.”
The moment the Dharmachakra touched me, the scenery changed.
When I looked around, there was a white plane in front of me.
“Hey Kouno-kun! I heard about it, so please let me help—”
The plane’s owner, Hida, tried to talk to me, but now was no time for that.
I’ll put off thanking you for your help for now. I immediately stowed the plane.
After confirming this, Zhen Falun activated his teleportation ability.
In just a few seconds, I was back on Mikuron’s back. “I’m back, Mikuron.”
Mikuron nodded without turning around.
“This is all I can do for you. …From now on, a lot of girls will be coming out, right?”
They’re currently hiding inside Serina’s barrier, but now that we’re going to start seriously attacking Behemoth, it will indeed be swarming with girls. “Thanks a lot, Zhen Falun.” “It’s fine, I’m doing it for myself too.”
He always gave off an air of cynicism in class, but he was such a warm-hearted man.
If I hadn’t come to the desert island, I might never have realized it.
And I might never have known about his secret romance with the history teacher either.
“Oh, I see. Well, see you later.” “Yeah, see you.” Zhen Falun disappeared. The operation is about to begin.
In the end, the plan to crash the plane into Behemoth hasn’t changed.
And if we’re going to crash it, we might as well drop it from as high up as possible.
What’s needed is just the leisure to aim.
From now on, the members participating in the operation will be given that leisure.
First to jump out was Kizuki Isshaku, riding the Black Dragon Illusionary Jun.
According to the briefing during the strategy meeting, what she wanted was the strength to ‘definitely cut through’.
Since she said ‘cut’, it seems there’s a restriction that a sword is necessary, and the ability activation requires a weapon that can be recognized as a sword.
The reason my arm wasn’t cut during the event was because there was a rule that we wouldn’t actually get injured in that event.
For Kizuki, who was originally in the kendo club, it probably made sense to think that being able to cut enemies or objects in half would be beneficial to survival.
In reality, it would also be very useful for cutting down trees.
However, there’s another restriction besides having to hold a sword.
It’s that it’s only ‘definitely cutting’ that’s possible.
The width of the slash is limited, so it’s not possible to cut something beyond that in one go.
If you tried to cut a thick tree trunk, you’d need to swing the sword multiple times.
How much of a devastating strike would it take to cut down a Behemoth?
But if my ability and the Black Dragon’s Palace Rope were combined, that problem would be solved. “I’m coming…!”
The sword tree standing on top of the Black Dragon Illusioner was shouting something.
Then, the Behemoth shook its nose at me.
Since the Dharma Wheel was gone, I would have to have Micron dodge it. Normally. But there was no need for that anymore. “Haaah…!”
The Black Dragon Illusioner was flying as if to dive into the Behemoth’s nose.
And the sword tree jumped from its back and swung the wooden sword.
It looked like a reckless act of bravery against a giant, but it wasn’t.
When I saw the sword tree holding the sword in a high guard, I imagined the sword being equipped with a giant stone sword and generated and placed it.
A super giant sword was swung down onto the nose of a super giant monster.
If the width of the strike was the problem, then all I had to do was provide a sword large enough to solve it, a simple solution.
The super giant sword with the ability “One Cut” successfully severed the Behemoth’s nose.
A low growl unlike anything before fills the air.
Blood gushes out of the wound like a waterfall.
Perhaps it’s because it feels too unreal, but I manage to keep my stomach from turning. I immediately retract the ultra-large sword.
The sword tree, after being struck, lands perfectly on the back of the black dragon, Genjuu.
Genjuu gains the height to launch the attack, I extend the blade, and the sword tree swings it.
This could be called a combination of the three of us.
“～～～～S, amazing…! I should thank Miyose and Kono…!”
The sword tree is shouting in joy, but… could it be that she enjoys fighting strong enemies?
She could probably do great even in a normal otherworldly reincarnation.
Now that I won’t have to worry about getting hit by a nose attack, I can focus on the placement of the falling objects.
But with such a serious injury, Behemoth wouldn’t be so calm.
Although Behemoth was thrashing about, it would soon stop moving.
「I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared. Why is this happening…」
Because Seirina temporarily lifted the barrier, Hyrō’s form became visible.
It seems that she switched out the members riding the phantoms when they entered the barrier, and now Yumiseki of the Library Committee is riding Hyrō.
Using her ability to manipulate shadows, the shadows sprawling beneath the Behemoth had taken on a three-dimensional form and instantly bound its two hind legs.
It looked as if the giant’s arms had grabbed its two legs.
Despite trembling, Yumiseki was doing her job well.
And the remaining front legs seemed to be fixed in place, not moving at all.
「I’m not letting you off the hook just because you’re looking good, Seiō.」 She was applying the barrier.
The Behemoth’s front legs were now covered as if by square boxes.
The barrier was set up so that one could enter but not exit.
Once a leg stepped in, the Behemoth could not pull it out of the barrier.
Even if it tried to pull it out with force, it was impossible now that its hind legs were also bound.
And her powerful weapon, her nose, was already gone. “Let’s go!”
Ms. Lumina unleashed multiple beams of energy. Her body was faintly glowing.
This was the effect of the new healing spell, “Enhanced Magical Power.”
This spell was a buff typical of a White Mage, amplifying the effectiveness of magic.
The attacks that had been relentlessly aimed at a single point since the start of the battle finally broke through its skin, revealing its flesh. “I’m coming! Sōsuke!”
Realizing that they had reached the final stage, Shokishi shouted.
All of their teammates were already away from the Behemoth’s head. The positioning was complete.
A jet airliner was falling toward the Behemoth, slicing through the air.
It was heading straight down toward the Behemoth’s head, colliding with a loud crash.
Then, the final blow was delivered. “Explosive Flame!!” This was a new spell from Shin.
With this, the plane and the Behemoth exploded into flames.
A tremendous sound, light, and shockwave erupted.
Like a kite being buffeted by the wind, Mikuron shook violently for a moment.
I clung tightly to her to prevent myself from falling off Mikuron. After it stopped, she said, “Hmm. Did we do it…?”
My childhood friend seemed to have set up some kind of flag, but… it must be an illusion.
In contrast to the ominous illusion, the enemy did not move further.
In fact, as if the previous scene had been a dream, the Behemoth’s body turned into particles of light and vanished. “We… defeated it…”
I was surprised when Trent and Arvank did it too, and they were threats that could have killed us.
But I never imagined that high school students like us, even with our abilities, could defeat a monster like a giant monster.
It felt like we had traveled to a very distant place, and I had a strange sense of wonder. But there was no time to savor the aftereffects.
My vision turned white, and I was summoned to a white space.
Thank you for breaking through the total evaluation of 87,000 points!!!!
Since I feel more motivated with a goal, I think I’ll aim for 90,000 points and work hard to update.
The next update is scheduled for 12/11!
