Episode 86: Turning Misfortune into Fortune (2)
『Let’s go, Renge!』
『Yeah!』
The moment I spotted
the enemy, I took the preemptive strike, no questions asked.
Synchronizing at full
with Renge, I struck with a blow of maximum firepower.
Even if the opponent
had [Breakthrough of Limits], or had been strengthened by the dungeon’s power,
a large amount of damage was inevitable.
The advanced attack
magic 'Explosion' hit Kisshouten directly, and the explosion of flames and
shockwaves shook the air violently. Then, Mea, Eliza, and the others struck one
after another with follow-up attack magic.
When the dust
cleared, there was Kisshouten, who was clearly deeply wounded.
Good! For now, I put priority on finishing her off before
rejoicing.
I had Yuki get behind
the opponent with Shukuji, and was about to have Eliza slash at her when ----
『Master!』
Eliza suddenly issued
a warning and activated her [Shield of Devotion]. --Not good!
Before I could figure
out what had happened, I instinctively switched the target of Synchronization
from Renge to Eliza.
As expected, it
wasn't quite a full synchronization, but when we increased the synchronization
rate to about 80%, a meteor shower hit us from the side.
『Guuuuu..uh, uh!』
Eliza gritted her
teeth and maintained her [Shield of Devotion]. The blood she had stored up was
being consumed at a frightening speed. As if to show this, the armor of
Dullahan, which shared life force with her, was cracking and gradually breaking
apart.
A beat later, Mea
supported Eliza with protection magic and Renge with regeneration.
By the time Eliza had
managed to survive the enemy attack, she had used up almost all of her blood
stock, and the armor she was wearing had lost its original shape and was on the
verge of being Lost.
『E-Eliza!』
Mea screamed and
summoned a succubus, offering it to Eliza. With bloodshot eyes, she bit down on
the unprotected neck of the succubus, and she began to drain the blood in a
frenzy.
Glancing at the
rapidly healing wounds, I looked at the source of the earlier attack.
There stood an ugly
woman in a jet-black robe, with skin blazing with disease and hair like an old
woman.
---- Kokuanten. She appeared after all.
It was said that only
one boss appears in a special type dungeon. But this was a mistaken statement.
To be precise, it should have been termed 'one slot'.
Naturally, if there
was a skill that allowed two to appear within that single slot, two bosses of
the dungeon could appear at a time, even in the case of a special-type dungeon.
Yes, like, for
example, the [Pair of Two] skill or ---- another higher level skill, the [Dual
Deity1] skill.
The [Dual Deity] does
not have the same benefits as the [Pair of Two] skill (or should I say that the
standard skill can be used even if two are not available......), but instead,
it is a skill that strengthens the benefits when you collect two of them.
In addition to the
sharing of life force that existed in [Pair of Two] skill, it has various other
benefits such as “sharing of the magic and acquired skills,” “increase and
share the number of times to relax the conditions of skills with limited
usage,” “increased combat power,” etc.
I hadn't paid much
attention to it until now, since I had no hope of getting either a Kokuanten or
a Tatarimokke2 card able of [Spiritual recurrence], but originally, it is a
powerful skill that exerts power when two cards are combined.
However,
even if we could not take full advantage of the [Dual Deity] skill, the
opponents could just appear as if it were a matter of course.
I
prayed that only one would appear, but it seemed to be in vain.
...Or
rather, the dungeon probably summoned these two because it understood my lack
of confidence.
『......Ah,
rain......』
Mea
looked up and muttered.
A
glistening rain poured down on the precincts of the temple and shrine. It was
the rain of Amrita of our enemy, the Kisshouten.....
The
other side seemed to have fully recovered while we were tending to Eliza's
injuries.
And
while over here we can only use [Rain of Amrita] once, the other side will
probably be able to use it many more times.
............ Damn, I'm jealous.
The
theory in such situations is to destroy the troublesome healer first, but since
[Dual Deity] also can share life force, they can only be defeated by inflicting
damage equivalent to the amount of the two enemies' worth of damage.
Needless
to say, if there is even a small amount of life force left, they will use [Rain
of Amrita] to heal themselves.
If
this were a game, I would be writing scathing reviews all over the place about
the boss having total recovery magic.
...Anyway, although it's extremely troublesome, the way
to defeat them is clear.
It
is either to hit two of them simultaneously with a blow that is enough to make
them Lost, or to put them both to sleep at the same time and let Mea weaken
them to death from the inside.
For
the sleep status abnormality, we have find an opportunity somehow, but first,
we have to slowly and steadily reduce their vitality and keep them within the
range where we can defeat them with a single blow.
The
problem was that the other side obviously had [Breakthrough of Limits], which
means that their firepower was such that we could be knocked out with a single
blow.......
『Mea,
I'm counting on you to summon a succubus just like you had done. Eliza, eat the
succubus that is summoned and stock up on blood! With that amount of combat
power, they'll just be killed instantly anyway.』
Looking
at the earlier meteor shower, the [Breakthrough of Limits] had surely been
copied. A succubus with a combat power in the 300s in front of such an enemy
would only dissolve in an instant. If that were the case, it would be better to
have her become a source of nourishment for Eliza.
『And
give Dáinsleif to Yuki. Yuki, put these on.』
I
handed the winged sandals - Talaria - to Yuki, who received the Dáinsleif from
Eliza.
Right now, the enemies are still on the ground, but if
they escape into the sky, Yuki will have no way to chase them.
I
had been saving it until the last minute trying to decide whether to give it to
Eliza or Yuki, but it would be best to give it to Yuki here.
『Suzuka,
hide yourself and look for a suitable time to use your [The Hour of The Ox3].
Renge will be the main force. Anyway, let's fire magic as hard as we can.』
Having
heard the instructions, the cards began to move.
Suzuka
hid somewhere in the temple grounds under the smoke screen created by Yuki's
Katon4 technique, while Eliza and Mea took me with them and retreated to the
rear. I then summoned the Koshta Bawar and sought shelter in it.
Although
it was only as good as nothing as a shield, it was better than having no shield
at all, since it also provided presence concealment and invisibility.
In
my view through the cards, Yuki was just about to slash at Kisshouten using
Talaria's high-speed movement and Shukuji to taunt the enemy.
The
Dáinsleif possessed a regeneration-inhibiting effect. Though the curse would
indeed be washed away by the rain of Amrita, the ability to nullify any other
recovery magic was significant.
In
an instant, Yuki came around behind her, and as expected, Kisshouten was unable
to react and was slashed fiercely in the back---
『What!?』
The
Kisshouten that Yuki sliced through turned into a log, and the Kokuanten
holding the Kisshouten appeared at a considerable distance from her.
Dang! She copied the [Advanced
Ninjutsu]?!
With
Kisshouten in her arms, Kokuanten began to scatter ranged attack magic while
running around the temple grounds in a shrunken form.
Yuki
could only manage to escape from the attack, and Renge was unable to make a
decent offensive move for fear of getting Yuki caught in the middle of it.
『This
is the worst high-speed mobile artillery…』
I
grunted involuntarily.
Not only do they have great fighting skills, but they're
also pretty tactical .......
Just
then, I saw Kisshouten, who was being held by Kokuanten, holding her thumb in
her mouth.
『Finn's
Thumb……！』
Kisshouten,
whose intelligence had been enhanced by [Finn's Thumb], had acted as the brains
behind this maneuver and was directing it.
I
gritted my teeth as I felt that all the preparation I had done for this race
was being turned against me.
『Mea! Support
Yuki with the illusion of [Butterfly Dream]!』
『Un!』
I
was forced to interrupt the summoning of the succubus and turn Mea over to
support Yuki.
Mea's
illusion masked Yuki's appearance and created several fake Yuki, and the
illusions ran around the temple grounds in all directions.
This
should make things a little easier ......
『Bullshit! Why?! The
illusion doesn't hook them at all.』
However,
the enemies were not caught by the illusions, and they pinpointed Yuki, who
should have been invisible to them.
Kuh, this is ...... Suzuka's [Deceit Detection]?!
What the heck?! That's
a skill you just got, and you're using it better than I am!
I
didn't know the skills my cards had were so nasty when used against me......
...... No, wrong. That's not it. It's not that my enemies
are better at using their skills, it's just that I'm not very good at using or
combining the skills.
That's why I'm so at the mercy of an enemy who only has a
small fraction of the skills of my cards.
All because of my poor leadership ability......
To put it simply, I'm bad at 'card games'.
A lousy player who, without really understanding why the
cards were considered strong by the public, just gathered up cards with high
combat power and rare skills ...... to include in his decks because they were
strong. That was the man I was.
A waste of a treasure trove. Throwing pearls before swine
and gold coins before a cat.
But I'm not going to be able to do anything about it just
because I realized it right here.......
Tactical insight comes from sense and accumulated
experience.
Even if I survive here and can slowly learn the basics
later, I'm not capable of coming up with the optimal solution on the spot.
---So for now, I'll start by imitating.
Just as a beginner will copy the decks of an advanced
player and learn their strategies, I will be copying my opponent's strategies
exactly as they are.
First,
I had Yuki carry Renge on her back and imitate the enemy's fast-moving
artillery. Since mere imitation would be too simple, I decided to bombard them
with magic from all directions, including in the air.
This
made it impossible for the other side to attack unilaterally, and the battle between
the two sides turned into an ultra-high-speed skirmish. The battle shifted from
a simple battle of speed to a battle of wits, in which the fighters had to
predict where their opponents were going to move, attack them, and move in such
a way that their opponents could not predict where they were going to move.
Naturally,
it wasn't me who was in charge of this battle of wits, but Eliza, who combined
her [Intuition] and [Finn's Thumb].
I
was merely the midpoint of the network.
I
was committed to eliminating the time lag between the time of Eliza's thoughts
until they reached Renge and the others.
In
other words, synchronization of multiple cards at the same time:
Multi-Synchronization.
While
maintaining full synchronization with Renge, I also synchronized Yuki and Eliza
at once, even though the synchronization rate was low.
Even
if I can't write well with both hands, I can do multi-synchronization now to
the extent of writing proper letters with my right hand while scribbling with
my left hand and whistling badly with my mouth.
Unlike
telepathy, where you have to think before communicating, Multi-Synchronization
forms a link where thoughts are shared.
When
Eliza predicted the enemy's movement, Renge and the others simultaneously thought
the same thing.
With
this, it was finally possible to read my opponents' moves on an equal footing
with them, the Kisshouten and Kokuanten.
And
while the opponents were slightly ahead of us in calculation ability, we seemed
to have a slight advantage at the moment because of our non-theoretical flash
of intuition.
Our
attacks were gradually chipping away at the opponent's life force, while at the
moment their attacks were being avoided by a hair's breadth.
If
we can maintain the current standoff, the scales of victory will gradually tip
in our favor.
...However,
『Ugh,
gh......!』
In
the carriage of Koshta Bawar, I was sweating profusely and enduring a severe
headache.
Maintaining
this state. That was the most difficult thing for me right now.
Using
Multi-Synchro {which I haven't fully mastered yet) in a sudden bout, the burden
on my brain and psyche was greater than I had anticipated.
Unlike
Perfect Link, where I concentrated on one thing to the utmost limit, the burden
of Multi-Synchronization, which forced me to work concurrently, severely
fatigued the parts of my brain that I do not normally use.
At
this rate, the Link would definitely not be able to be maintained before the
enemy's life force is drained away.
Before
that happens, we need to somehow settle things with Kisshouten and Kokuanten.
But
even with Eliza's brain working at full speed, she couldn't find any such
opening.
Suzuka
...... was no good. Even if I use her, who currently lurks in the shadows, it
would only make the situation easier for a moment. Rather, it will be a big
minus because it will give away the existence of an ambush. The presence of an
invisible ambush weapon puts not little pressure on the opponent and forces
them to allocate some calculation ability.
Mea
was also busy summoning succubus to stockpile blood for Eliza. With her left
hand, Eliza was sucking the blood of the succubus in bat form, while sucking
the thumb of her right hand. Since there was no telling when she would need to
use the [Shield of Devotion], resupplying Eliza was a top priority.
Dullahan
...... was now a complete liability. If I hadn't had her equipped to Eliza,
there was a good chance Eliza would have been Lost, so I don't think it was an
error of judgment, but ...... I'm frustrated with myself for not being able to
make good use of her presence.
Something, some way to break this stalemate...!
----
I think Maro's strength as an adventurer is that you're really good at
nurturing your cards.
Teacher's
words come back to my mind.
That
doesn't mean a damn thing in this place......! I
clenched my teeth so hard, they felt like they were going to shatter. I need to
be strong enough to win against an enemy that I can't beat with my current
hands,......!
I need a weapon. My own, unique qualities as an
adventurer. ......
『--Master.』
At
that moment, I suddenly felt something warm wrapped around my face.
I
realized after a moment's delay that I was being embraced in Eliza's arms.
『Eliza...?』
『I
am the proof.』
『What
are you talking about ......?』
I
was puzzled, but Eliza smiled warmly, as if she were the Holy Mary, and said,
『I
am proof, of your strength... as an adventurer.』
At
that moment, the card that I had tucked away in my chest shone with light. The
light of the card's skill acquisition.
Before
I looked at the card and saw what skill it was, I understood in my head ......
what kind of power it was.
This is ...... this skill is--
『I
am, no longer, a puppet. Because you have always wished for me to be that way...』
This
was a skill that embodied Eliza, the card. She alone possessed this power in
this world. Therefore, this skill had no name.
If
one were to give a name to this nameless skill, which can be said to be Eliza
herself, it would be ----.
『----
My Fair Lady.』
The
light from the card grew especially bright and then popped.
The
naming of the skill solidified it into a definite form, and it took root in
her.
I
pulled myself away from her embrace and uttered,
『Eliza』
『Yes.』
Eliza
nodded as if waiting for my order.
『----
Copy the enemy's Kisshouten's [Breakthrough of Limits].』
『Yes,
Master.』
At
that moment, all her power expanded. The power poured into [Finn's Thumb],
dramatically increasing her calculation power.
This
was immediately reflected on the battlefield in the form of improved movements
of Renge and Yuki.
Attacks
that could barely graze them became direct hits, and the enemy's attacks were
now perceptible to the eye.
At
once, the scales of victory tilted in our favor. Even my ordinary brain could
see that through Eliza, our territory (...)
was expanding at an accelerating pace.
This
was Eliza's new power. It was neither an inborn skill nor an acquired skill,
but her own (unique) skill...... a skill that allowed her to copy one of her
enemies' or allies' skills.
It
was a kind of culmination that she was able to attain only because she had
continued to learn a variety of skills with a voracious appetite.
Then,
a rain of light poured down on the temple grounds. The enemy Kisshouten used
the [Rain of Amrita].
With
this, we were able to force the enemy to use their trump card once more.
I can do it ...... at this rate, it's possible. I can
push through before my brain runs out of stamina.
I
could feel my body surge with the anticipation of victory.
But
...... I didn't grasp it.
I
didn't grasp that ---- we were up against a goddess of fortune and her
counterpart, the goddess of plague.
It
was an accident. Not the result of calculation, but an unfortunate accident.......
The
spear of rock released by Renge shifted the trajectory of the lightning magic
that Kokuanten was about to unleash.
The
lightning spear that was discharged went in a direction that was unexpected
even for both of them.
Yes,
toward the Koshta Bawar I had been hiding in.
This
misfortune is too pinpointed to be a mere accident. In that case, it can only
be said to be an inevitable disaster caused by the goddess of plague.
『Master...!』
Eliza
protected me with [Shield of Devotion] just in time.
She
managed to block it by herself because her combat power had been raised by
[Breakthrough of Limits], but as expected, she could not protect up to the
Koshta Bawar, and so we were thrown out of the vanished carriage. Naturally,
the enemy also discovered our presence.
Furthermore,
the Multi-Synchronization that we had managed to maintain was also broken due
to the attack, and with their command center gone, Renge and the others became
dysfunctional for a moment.
The
other side naturally did not miss this opportunity.
Intermediate
attack magic, which emphasized activation speed rather than power, was fired my
way.
--This is, bad!
A
chill ran down my spine, and my thoughts spun at super-speed like a runaway
light.
One direct attack on me is okay. I've cast an insurance
spell beforehand, so I can manage. Even if it's a double blow, it's no problem
because I have the Adventure's Club badge.
The problem is the wounded Eliza. She doesn't have the
vitality to withstand this attack. The blood she'd gotten from devouring the
succubus had already run out after the previous attack.
The one that would be worse off if they took the hit
would be Eliza, not me.
If that is the case, then naturally, the smart enemy
would target the wounded vampire.
Just
before the lightning spear pierced her——
『AAAAAAAH!』
Mea
exposed herself swiftly.
『Mea......!』
The
violent electric current burnt out her life force with a single strike, but her
determination to survive managed her to hold on to her life barely.
『Yo,
u.....!』
There,
Renge and the others finally began to move, but without a command center, their
strikes cut through the air in a vain attempt.
This
meant that an opening had been created for the enemies to attack once more.
The
Kokuanten turned her palm in this direction. A sign of pursuit.
In
that drawn-out moment, I was forced to make a choice.
......
Eliza or Mea.
Both
were too important to lose in this situation.
While
I hesitated for a moment, a figure moved first.
『Eliza——！』
The
half-dead vampire activated her [Shield of Devotion] of her own will.
Eliza
was the woman who could offer herself without the slightest hesitation in such
a situation.
But
it also meant our definite defeat.
The
back of the dark sky shook, and a gate connecting the earth and the outer space
appeared.
A
meteor shower poured down from there and ----.
"Huh?"
----
For some reason, it hit the Kokuanten's side.
I
was dumbfounded. The cards also conveyed a sense of stunned emotion. The enemy side
also looked confused as they were seriously injured.
What? Don't tell me she
accidentally attacked her own side? That's
absurd ...... No, no way!
I
looked at Eliza's armor.
The
emotion that welled up in my chest at that moment was indescribable.
She! She copied Dullahan's
[Clumsy]......！
So
the copying of acquired skills was random, not selective? Since only skills
that were convenient for the opponent had been copied so far, I had thought it
was selective. But that doesn't matter now.
What
mattered was that this was an opportunity.
A
golden, huge opportunity.
My
comrades understood this without me having to give them any instructions and
were already in motion.
Kisshouten
and Kokuanten, their bodies pierced by their own meteor magic, suddenly dropped
to their knees on the ground.
It
was Renge's gravity magic. Just before the horrendous gravity was about to
crush them, Kisshouten's [Rain of Amrita] was activated.
The
wounds all over her body had disappeared, and Kisshoten, freed from gravity,
raised her head, her mouth was sealed by a small devil.
Deathly
Pleasure. The direct kiss took away all of Kisshouten's life force in an
instant.
Naturally,
the other one would not stand idly by and watch, and the spear of lightning
released by Kokuanten pierced through Mea - with a resounding poof, she turned
into a log.
Utsusemi
no jutsu. Mea, who was carried by Yuki and brought back to me, immediately
kissed Eliza and transferred her life force to her.
The
refined life force, or vitality, healed the vampire's body far more efficiently
than recovery magic or blood absorption.
The
Kokuanten, watching this scene, turned her palm toward us with a look of
hatred. Meteor? Or Gravity?
But
one moment faster than the release of the attack,
『--Suzuka!』
『Fufu,
I thought you'd completely forgotten about me.』
Suzuka's
[The Hour of The Ox] had been activated.
Kokuanten
held her chest and kneeled. The spell attack that ignored resistance was not
something that even the Kokuanten, which as a race was resistant to curses,
could withstand.
Watching
this, Kisshouten unleashed [Rain of Amrita]. This was the fifth time. How many
times can she use it ......?
But
it doesn't matter how many more times it can be used.
With this, it is decided!
『Renge,
Mea, Suzuka!』
『Hum!』『Leave
it to me!』『Here I go~!』
Friendship
Linkage -- [The Night of the End of the World5 ] x [Witch's Dream6 + Pierce of
Resistance] x [So Cute that The Hatefulness is a Hundredfold7].
Black
rain descended, and Kisshouten and Kokuanten collapsed helplessly.
Immediately,
Mea went into Kisshouten, and after observing her for a few seconds and seeing
no sign of her waking up, I buckled down and sat there with a thud.
Fi, finally, it's over .......
As
I was about to lie flat on the ground, I remembered that there was one last job
left.
『...Renge.』
『Yea,
you're going to do it, huh?』
I
nodded silently, and deeply overlapped my soul with hers.
Perfect
Link. It was not often that I got an opportunity like this. I had been made to
struggle so much, so I really wanted to get a Kisshouten card here---- But,
『Ugh...
I guess I don't have enough luck.』
It
had been about two weeks since I last used it. I had saved up some good luck
along the way from the disappointing box with the carbuncle, but I hadn't even
saved up enough good luck for a definite C-rank drop, let alone a B-rank drop.
At
that very moment, I suddenly realized that in addition to my own good luck,
there was a big lump of good luck beside me.
I
casually touched it......
『This
is...! I
see, that's what it is!』
Knowing
exactly what it was, I put all my good luck into it without hesitation. At the
same time, the sound of something cracking and shattering resounded.
And
then--
『Master』
I
opened my eyes to the voice calling me, and there was Eliza's beautiful face.
She
sneaked something at me in the blind spot of the camera's eye.
I
grinned as I felt her hand and verified that it was 'two cards'.
『The
moment of the fall?』
『Yes,
Master. Please don't worry. Yuki and I kept it hidden.』
『Good
job!』
At
the time of the Succubus drop, it could not be helped because it was a
coincidence and could not be hidden, but the drop of the B-rank cards this time
cannot be shown to the viewers as expected.
In
addition to the Succubus, the cards of Kisshouten and Kokuanten would raise
questions about the deviation of the probability.
I
secretly put the cards in my pocket and looked at the bag on my back. There
were the carbuncle garnets inside that I had gotten along the way.......
“Figured, that's what it was......"
I
muttered quietly as I confirmed that all the carbuncle garnets had shattered.
The
big lump of good fortune I felt at that moment was the carbuncle garnets.
I
had been wondering about something since Teacher and I had visited a secret
dungeon where Carbuncles were certain to appear.
It
was, about the small amount of carbuncle garnets on the market.
The
number of garnets calculated from a single secret dungeon amounts to more than
a dozen garnets per day. In the case of a dungeon like this time's underground
dungeon, where there is more than one on a single floor, the number is even
higher.
Since
there seemed to be quite a few secret dungeons in Japan where Carbuncles
appear, the daily output should be at least four digits or more.
For
that many garnets to have been produced, the amount circulating on the market was
far too small.
At
first, I thought that they might be controlling them so that the price would
not collapse, or that they might be used for processing magic items, but this
time another possibility had emerged.
That
was, the use as a replenishment of good luck in the manipulation of fortune and
fate.
This
implied that there were people on the government side who held cards like
Renge, and that the government was aware of their capabilities.
"……………………Phew."
Well, there's no point in thinking about it here.
All I can do is continue to hide and use Renge's ability
as I have been doing.
What I'm more concerned about is .......
I
took out Eliza's card and looked at its status out of camera view.

Fair Lady (NEW!)
A
new column for unique skills appeared below the inborn and acquired skills
columns....
Underneath
it was the name of the skill that I was supposed to have named on my own.
Also,
the [Absolute Obedience], [Multiple Skills], and [Clear Mind] skills had
disappeared from the 'Acquired Skills' column.
Unique skills...I've never heard of a card having any
skills other than inborn or acquired skills.
Renge
and Yuki's [Breakthrough of Limits] was also a ridiculous skill, but it still
fits within the framework of the existing skills.
However,
this one was a clear deviation from the framework of the previous card systems.
Suddenly,
the words of my Teacher came back to my mind,
......
Inborn and acquired skills are only part of the surface power of the card, huh?
I wonder, if Teacher did know something about this as
well.
I
thought vaguely about this with my exhausted mind.
----
Race Results:
Finish
time: 21 hours and 11 minutes. Stars: 225. Rank -- 1st place.
The
winner of the first Catfight Battle Royale Race: Utamaro Kitagawa.
[Tips] Dual Deity
The
[Dual Deity] and [Triple Goddess] exist as higher-level skills of the [Pair of
Two] type skills.
While
the [Pair of Two] skill is meaningless unless the other card is on the field,
the [Dual Deity] skill can be used even if the other card is not on the field,
and the card possessing it can transform into the other card, so the conditions
for this skill are relaxed.
However,
the true value of the card is demonstrated when there are two cards in the
field, and in addition to the sharing of life force, there are also various
other benefits such as "the sharing of magic power and acquired
skills," and “increased number of times and sharing of skills with a
limited number of uses”.
For
this reason, the performance of a single card tends to be inferior to that of
other B-rank cards, and the price is slightly lower than other cards.
