Chapter 239.2. Invincible Foe

Well, maybe this guy was supposed to descend.

What could be this man’s true identity with this massive serpent-like body?

Even if I defeat this humanoid form, if the body remains, can’t I kill it?

I got a hint. Yes, I received a hint.

My attacks don’t work, and I’m finally pushed back, my left arm destroyed, and my body gouged out.

But there’s no problem. My MP is still left.

What is this guy’s true identity? And his weakness…

Crushing my right hand, my HP displayed in the air goes into the red.

Looking at my body somewhat detachedly, it finally hits me. I’ve got a bead on this guy’s true identity!

“Let’s counterattack!”

Dodging the fist aimed at my head by tilting my neck, I sidestep at the last moment.

Then I spin to the side, spreading my arms and floating up to dance.

[Butterfly Dance]

Fluttering and swimming through the air, the bloodied girl dances gracefully. Light as a feather, she floats and dances as if weightless.

With limbs missing and body gouged, she dances while covered in blood.

There, a beautiful butterfly bringing terror exists. Captivated by its dance, it’s a mysterious and eerie dance with both fright and beauty, capable of bringing death.

I’m dancing in the darkness. Silver particles sparkle and scatter in the air like scales. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You still have some tricks up your sleeve!”

Seeing Miu’s dance, the man momentarily stops but quickly resumes his attack.

[Abyssal Fang!]

As his arms come together, unseen fangs emerge from above and below Miu, aiming to crush her. Faster and more powerful than before.

However, the fangs easily pass through Miu’s body and disappear as if melting into space. Miu shows a faint smile at the sight.

“What?”

“There’s an opening!”

[Butterfly Dance] has an evasion rate of +30%. And with my [Phantom Step II], I got a total evasion rate boost of +70%.

And… Butterfly Dance has one more effect. It lowers the enemy’s defense by 15%.

“I’ll show you the Saint’s secret technique!”

My HP is below 20%. In other words, it’s time for the secret technique.

I spread my arms wide and activate the secret technique.

“Divine Domain!?”

The cavern transforms around Miu. Under the blue sky, it turns into a beautiful flower garden with various gorgeous blooms.

Miu returns a full smile as bright as a blooming flower and faces the surprised man.

[Sacred Relic]

“T-This is it! You chibi!”

A crimson aura is drawn from the man and absorbed into Miu’s body.

Then, her missing limbs are restored, and her gouged body returns to unblemished skin. Her bloodied clothes and magic armor transform into pristine attire. Miu spins around, steps, and twirls.

Staggering and falling to his knees, the man lets out a pained voice.

“W-What was that just now?”

“It’s [Sacred Relic]. The fallen Saint got resurrected. It absorbs the enemy’s vitality and magic power!”

It’s the Saint’s secret technique. It’s a bit weak. But useful as a recovery art. It also heals status ailments and provides complete recovery.

“Well then, time for the finishing blow!”

“Using sneaky tricks, huh! But I’m still fighting, guff.”

The man tries to stand up, but suddenly a spear emerges from his chest.

No, he got impaled from behind.

“T-This bastard! When did…”

“Chichichi.”

Groaning, the man looks back with a resentful expression.

Behind him is an ant that had shrunken to about a meter in size, silently approaching.

With sparkling eyes, Ant-san chirps proudly, “Chichichi.”.

“You underestimated the Holy Knight! And indeed, you still can’t activate that invincible-seeming barrier outside of sight, right? Your ability is to fight while ‘defending with invisible snake scales,’ isn’t it?”

With a forceful stomp on the ground, I leap high into the air, raising my Poyopoyo Hammer.

“Not yet! I’ve got a trump card too!”

He knocks away Ant-san behind him and immediately turns towards Miu. Opening his mouth wide to the point of dislocation, he gathers magical power within.

Tremendous dark energy accumulates and is blown toward Miu, who’s closing in.

[Apocalypse Breath]

A deep black breath is unleashed with a heavy roar. It corrupts the surrounding air, corrodes the ground, and is a deathly poisonous breath that can kill even gods.

[Perfect Resist Poison]

But as the poisonous breath envelops Miu, a geometric light barrier appears and fully blocks it.

“Heheh, too bad.”

As if oozing from space, Frigg-oneesan appears, wearing a bewitching smile.

“C-Chibi-suke! You aimed for this!”

Amazed and genuinely surprised, the man applauds Miu for lying still as her comrade in a situation where she might die to deliver a fatal blow.

“That’s right! Also, I may have exaggerated this technique wouldn’t work on you!”

It was overly deliberate. I pretended it wouldn’t work. It was all an act. Despite appearing brutish, I was a cunning warrior.

[Soul Awakening]

[Thunderous Dragon I]

[Spin Hammer]

-Fused-

[Mjolnir]

“Jormungandr, this is your true weakness!”

“Whoaaa! Chibi!!”

A gigantic hammer formed from plasma is swung down onto Jormungandr’s head, bathing the surroundings in immense lightning energy and causing a massive explosion.
