CH 448

Just as I was about to unleash the Dragonic Blaze on Kemuda–

“It’s decided. No one is safe at that distance.”

“…… Kemuda’s been beaten ……!?”

“Fu-fu-fu, I guess that’s your retribution for underestimating us. ‘Thunder Fang’!!”

“…… I’ll [Reject] that attack.”

“Damn, that’s been a pain in the ass since earlier.”

“My Kaiser Knuckle didn’t even hit her ……”

“…… Don’t think that this Sherida, the [Reject], is the same as Kemuda, okay? I will not be defeated by little girls like you.”

(T/N: I changed the [Rejected] part to [Reject].)

–Makina and Fath tried to attack Sherida a few times, but they were blown away by the [Reject] skill, so they couldn’t even get close. Even Fath’s thunder fang was being driven back by an invisible wall. 

“…… It’s the same, I’ll just [Reject] it.”

“I’ve got you! “Thunder Dust Fist!”

In order to make sure that the gigantic Sarge is not easily blown away, he used a body press from above to cover a wide area, and Makina come at her from the side with a fist covered in lightning.

But as Sherida thrusts her hand upward and shouts, Sarge soars into the sky like a rewind.

“…… It’s futile!”

“Come on ……!”

“I [Reject] all attacks against me! I’m sorry about that girl.”

“Kya ……! The lightning has been scattered ……!”

Makina’s fist was repelled and fell back, and Fath’s attack came from behind her, but it didn’t reach her. 

“it’s true that my skills are specialized in defense. So it’s a skill that allows you to send your opponent away on the spot. Your defense is perfect, but you can’t attack in that case, right?”

“…… Fufu, it’s true that my skills are specialized in defense. Normally, It is necessary to fight while protecting warriors like Kemuda. But–“

“But ……?”

When Makina asks in return, Sherida’s mouth quirks up in a wide grin and she points her hands at them before shouting 

“…… What will you do if I can do some fighting myself! !”

“Advanced magic!? [Kaiser Knuckle]!!”

“I’m going around, Makina, we’ll attack her without not resting!”

“Yes! …… Gunununu ……! Daaaaaaaaaah!!”

“…… You’re good! Mu?”

After counteracting the storm with her Kaiser Knuckles, Makina uses her legs to head towards Sherida and unleashes her Hydro Stream to intercept her. 

But the torrent of water was drowned out by Sarge’s auto-protection.

“Haaaaaaaah!”

“I’m telling you it’s useless. [Reject]! !”

“What!”

“She repelled it with her fist ……!? Eiii, get off me!”

“.Kuh …..!”

“Master! You!”

“So persistent ……! !

“Come on!”

She was not intimidated by the fire arrow at point-blank range, and struck out with all her might at Sherida.

“Kyaaaaah!?”

“What!?”

It had caught Sherida in the face, but was still blocked by a thin layer of transparent wall. But Sherida hadn’t expected it to be that close, and she let out a rare scream.

“…… Ahem. It’s no use, I’ll [Reject] it! Here’s an extra, .”

“Hyaaah!? It’s nothing compared to Sarge’s fireball ……!”

Makina steps back and hits the fireball coming at her directly and returns it to Sherida.

“…… That’s some power, little girl. You’re not going to attract any men with that, you know?”

When Sherida narrowed her eyes and smiled while dodging the returned fireball, Makina lowered her shoulders and replied shortly 

“It’s none of your business. I have a boyfriend.”

“I have a husband, too.”

“…… What!?”

When Fath comes out to Makina, her body does not move an inch and her eyes widen.

“…… Hmph, that’s a pretty obvious lie. Then I’ll expose that corpse to your delusional boyfriend. ……!”

“I’m not lying, that’s my boyfriend right above your head!”

“What ……? So it’s the one who was fighting Kemuda.”

Makina attacked Sherida again, who found Lars above her head. Fath then called out to Lars above his head.

“Lars! You stay there and watch! I’ve got an idea! Makina, if that doesn’t work, back off. Sarge, you’re going to have to help me too.”

Lars stops his nose dive and nodded in the air, and Fath nodded back and turned toward Makina. Then Sarge became about the same size as Makina and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know. That [Reject] skill is an absolute defense. If we continue like this, we won’t lose, but we won’t win either. If we don’t kill the scattered soldiers, we’ll be wasting our time.”

As soon as Fath said that, Makina retreated with a cloud of dust in the air.

“I’m sorry, Master, it’s hard to get past that.”

“Hmm. I’m sure that even your most powerful [Kaiser Knuckle] won’t be able to break it. And while she uses her skill so much, she doesn’t show any signs of running out of magic power, and she uses magic. But she’s not invincible–“

Fath whispers to Makina and Sarge. When Makina heard those words, she clapped her hands and smiled.

“…… If that’s the case, we’re better off without Lars. I’m counting on you, Sarge.”

“I’m sure Sarge is too …… Let’s go!”

“…… Are you done with the useless discussion? ! You’re finished.”

“No, you are! [Kaiser Knuckle]!”

Makina repels the Aqua Bullet with her fist as she heads to Sherida, and–

What is Fath’s plan?

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“Okay, I’m out of ideas!”

Isn’t that so sudden!?

“You want to write a new work, right?”

Umu ……
