Chapter 75.2 Frigg Fights With Loki

-Frigg’s POV-

“Damn! It’s the [Trickster]!”

At Frigg’s playfulness, Loki is full of rage and dances at her again with her sword. Frigg intercepts her with her dagger at the ready. Loki’s magic sword flashes and catches Frigg’s body. Loki goes into a sweeping slash and feels a response, but when she looks closely, there seems to be a thin layer of skin, some barrier, and the sword slides over it.

“Hmph.”

Frigg’s dagger hits the golden exoskeleton as she attacks without taking defense. But there is a clink, and Loki pops the edge of the dagger’s blade.

“Oh dear?”

“Looks like we can’t hurt each other!”

Loki, relieved at hercules knight’s defensive strength and having regained her composure, speaks lightly and swings her sword many times.

[Thunder Sword]

With lightning in her sword, Loki launches an attack at Frigg. As if splitting up, she attacks at high speed. However, she still couldn’t inflict a single scratch.

“That’s hard. Oh, is that phrase bad for your children’s education?”

“You seem to surpass me only in your light talk!”

Without losing her bewitching smile, Frigg launches an attack on Loki.

It was a dagger of a skill Loki had never seen before, let alone witnessed. She could transform, and if she swung his sword to defend, she would spin around to avoid it. If she thought she’ll hit a target with a feint and tried to parry it, it was a feint, and the blow she thought was a feint hit Loki in the body.

Loki laughs, horrified that if it weren’t for hercules knight’s body. She might have been beaten.

They move and attack each other at high speed, neither getting hurt, and the never-ending circle dance continues. Sword blows echo and thunder roars.

“Great or not, you’re not equipped with magic armor, yet you’re so strong! Your barrier indeed feels magical, but it’s not that strong! And yet, you can fight even with hercules knight!”

“That’s right. All but one of us is a weak weapon. Don’t you think it’s terrible even though we’re part of the Top-Up item?”

“Again, the flippant remarks? But I can have the perfect body!”

With a tantrum, Loki jumps backward in a big way. Frigg looks at Loki with amusement as she smiles, not bothering to give chase. She was getting bored since no damage was being done either way.

Secretly, Frigg had cast plenty of support magic on herself before talking with Loki. She had chosen [Fight] to hide and was ready to talk to her. As one would expect, she wasn’t at a high enough level to fight a monster of that level on her own.

She didn’t have to do that, but she wanted to check the effect of the support magic and the movement of her body during the battle. But enough is enough. It was just as well because she was beginning to think that all that was left was to kill Loki and be done with it.

Frigg knew too well what she was thinking. And she was curious. To see if she could do what she was aiming for.

[Release Transformation]

Loki’s figure crumbled like a piece of clay. If she attacked here, it would end, but Frigg watched with a cold smile.

As the clay work transforms, the figure changes. To a sarcastic 25-year-old woman. The young lady said that she was described in the game as having a certain sense of humor and being the lovable type. She also said that Loki was involved in the main story of the game.

“You’re not surprised, are you? That’s right. You even know my real name.”

At first glance, she was an ordinary woman who could be found anywhere. She was a little pretty, the woman you would expect to see in a mob role. That’s how she gets treated.

She usually posed as an informant, a poor detective. That seems to be the woman Takanashi Saeko. In the original story, the female detective was a comical character who occasionally get involved with the protagonist and offer to buy him a drink when he was hungry because he had no money. The young lady said she was surprised when she first found out who Loki was in the game.

In the original story, two people knew her as Loki. One of them told the young lady in the game. In the original story, she doesn’t know which one told her.

It’s just as well because Trickster is known for her true identity by some.

“You can’t surrender? I’m being told to kill you.”

“You have a ruthless boss, huh? But I don’t think it’s going to be that easy, do you?”

“Ruthless ……, huh?”

Frigg giggles as she recalls the young lady’s appearance. Loki, not caring to see that, turns her palm toward Loki.

[Drain]

The magic activated, and as a drop of blood appeared to ooze out of Frigg’s body, it settled in Loki’s palm.

“I’ve resisted. You’re still good. Even though you’re not wearing magic armor, your power is amazing. That’s my only weakness. Most of the time I have to transform and infiltrate, so I can cover up the difficulties I have with magicians who have magic armor!”

Loki sticks out his tongue and licks Frigg’s blood from his palm with a lollipop. His expression was full of glee, and he laughed, having finally obtained his ideal body.

“I, you see, can transform by drinking their blood!”

“Yes. Then why don’t you see me transform?”

Frigg puts the dagger away in her item box and pulls out a new single-shot, long-ago short rifle. It’s a golden flintlock short gun, studded with jewels.

Loki is surprised to see the gun of terrifying magical power appearing out of thin air, but he still uses her unique magic, Metamorphosis without concern.

[Metamorphosis]

As the figure crumbles like a piece of clay, it’s replaced by a more gathered Frigg. Loki, transformed into a bewitching beauty, tries to smile, but her body stiffens.

It’s not because she’s naked. Loki is wearing an ancient and mysterious ring, Illusory Attire, and when she transforms into a human body, the ring causes simple clothes to appear. It’s a convenient item, but since there was an age limit in the novel, the original author must have thought that nudity would be a problem.

Despite her simple attire, she’s still the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Oh? Congratulations. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Frigg compliments her, but Loki breaks into a cold sweat.

“What the!? Nothing. Nothing! No magic powers, no physical abilities! I’m a civilian!? Why, why, why!”

Frigg turned her bewitching smile on Loki, who lost her composure and shouted in confusion.
