VS Divine Beast (2)
“Hahaa! Let’s go!”
Liscia who heads towards the Divine Beast enjoyingly. I also finally landed so I’ll follow after her. Firstly, I transform 10 spheres into short swords and release them towards the Divine Beast.
Although the Divine Beast releases lightning and tries to shoot them down, those short swords are short swords that were transformed from The Sun Of Erosion. The short swords absorb the lightning’s magic power and pierce through the weakened lightning.
Although the Divine Beast opens its eyes wide from astonishment for an instant, it’s also in an instant, that it brushes off the approaching short swords with its horn and foreleg without any danger. And then, it faced and closed in on me.
The Divine Beast that closes in until its right before my eyes and strikes at me with its right foreleg. I repel the lightning clad foreleg with the butt of my scythe. ‘Gagin!’, the scythe and the Divine Beast’s foreleg collided, but I only withstood it for just a little before I was blown away.
I had kind of expected it so I wasn’t hurt but……now then, how do I defeat it. Its power, speed, and protection, they are all high. Liscia who slashes at the Divine Beast that chases after me, who’s regaining my balance, with the crushing sword.
The Divine Beast that easily repels Liscia’s sword with its horn and tries to bite at her. Be it that it’s Liscia, she won’t get away unharmed if she’s bitten by those sharp fangs.
Furthermore, whenever the Divine Beast tries to bite at her, lightning is gushing out, albeit a tiny amount, and hindering Liscia’s movement. It’s probably not something that it’s spilling intentionally, but something that’s leaking out naturally.
Even if to the Divine Beast, it’s something trivial that it’s spilling unconsciously, to us who are humans, it’s nothing but a threat that our movements are hindered by.
I materialize even more spheres and collect them into one. Ordinary short swords weren’t able to break through the lightning. In order to break through it, it has to be large, tough, and sharp.
And what was made was a giant spear that’s dyed jet black. I aim that giant spear at the Divine Beast and release it. Although the Divine Beast was closing in to try to bite at Lisicia, it notices the approaching spear and immediately releases lightning.
Although a lightning barrier was made, it only put it with it for just a little before it’s penetrated. The spear that carries on to close in on the Divine Beast. The Divine Beast stops chasing Liscia and glares at the spear. And then
“WAOooooN!!!”
Instantly when I thought the Divine Beast howled, light overflows from the Divinity Tree and rains down towards the Divine Beast. As the light casts on the Divine Beast, its horn shines along with it. The light that gathered stretches and changes into a gigantic horn. Oh shit!
ZUZAaaaaaN!
A slash of the horn that was swung downwards easily buried the spear, split the ground and penetrated the forest. What destructive power. It’s difficult for me to defend against that no matter how hard I try. Besides, above all else
“……The Divinity Tree that provides it with power is a nuisance”
Right now, the light has settled down and I don’t know under what conditions does it provides it with power. However, I can’t ignore it.
“Shoott!”
A large number of magic and arrows that were released under the Queen’s command. Because the Divine Beast howls and puts up the lightning barrier once again, the attacks from our side won’t go through at all……but
“Master. This defence is a nuisance”
“Aah, however……Liscia, when that Divine Beast is putting up the barrier, it didn’t move even a single step, right?”
“Muu? ……Now that you mention it, that might be so but, it might be a coincidence, you know?”
“However, it’s more reliable than targetting it while it’s moving around”
I create 10 spears that are smaller than the one just now but bigger than the short swords.
“Liscia, let’s continue?”
“Mumu, I don’t feel good using Master as a shield and advancing but, alright, I’ll drive my one of my blows in!”
Alright, Liscia’s also pretty fired up. All that’s left is for me to go while making sure that I don’t mess up. I face straight at the Divine Beast and start running. As I thought, perhaps it can’t move when it’s putting up the barrier, the Divine Beast just glares at me. I release the spears in order to take advantage of that.
Although the spears also contested with the barrier like the other magic, a single blow that’s focused on one point pierces the barrier. Well, I was absorbing the magic power of the contacting point with the barrier with my sorcery and making it fragile though.
The Divine Beast that saw that it has entered the inside of the barrier cancelled the barrier. Although the magic hits the Divine Beast’s body, it didn’t even do that much damage.
The Divine Beast that ignores the magic that hits its body and brandishes its horn towards me. I once again release spears but it was smashed without doing much to the horn.
I then swing my scythe up at the approaching horn and butt against it. In that instant, my body went numb with a zap and I couldn’t muster any strength in my entire body. It’s the lightning’s fault huh.
I clench my teeth, plant my feet, and persist from losing my strength and falling down. I forcefully move my body with magic power, and furthermore, I even absorb the Divine Beast’s magic power. The scythe that becomes larger and sharper in proportion to the amount of magic power that I absorbed.
I, who somehow persisted and withstood it, and the Divine Beast, that adds even more strength into it. I wouldn’t be able to withstand it if it’s just me but, right now
“Eat this! Second Sword Arcanum・Meteorite Smash!”
Liscia who appeared from my back aims at the side of the Divine Beast’s face and swings her sword. Hardened soil and metal, like that of a blunt weapon, were attached to the tip of the weapon and it had become like a large mace.
Liscia lightly swung and followed through at a considerable speed, the sword that has quite the toughness and heaviness. The Divine Beast couldn’t avoid it fully and took it in the side of its face, and ‘Bakii’, it’s being blown away along with the sound of something breaking.
The Divine Beast that was blown away all the way to the Divinity Tree. Although its appearance isn’t visible because of the dust cloud, I didn’t relax my stance. In no way, is the Divine Beast done with just this much, right? Perhaps Liscia also has the same thinking, she’s glaring at it.
It seems that our thinking is right and light rains down into the cloud from the Divinity Tree. What appeared after the dust cloud settled was, the appearance of the Divine Beast that changed into human-shape like us.

“……Haa……haa……nnn!”
“”Fufu, you don’t have to endure it, you know? You can’t go against this pleasure. Go against the ecstasy of humans transforming into angels that are my servants””
“Fuu! ……Uuu! Wh, who the hell, is going to become something like an angel! ……Haa……haa, I, I will definitely endure it, with Hardt-sama……Uunn! Haa……we will kill you!”
“”Fufu, I will make you into my servant and make you kill the man you love””
……Like hell, that will definitely not happen. I, I……will definitely……
