Volume 2
Chapter 35
Fighting the White
Plant
Translator : PolterGlast
I simply thought it
was a hassle.
Even though she was
supposed to be fighting me, Natura-san was only concerned about God.
If she survived this
battle and continued to be obsessed with God, and if she happened to meet
Chrisya-san...
I don't know the
reason, but it's certain that Natura-san's obsession with God deepened during
our battle. If Chrisya-san found out about it later on... well, she'd
definitely blame me for 'leaving it alone'.
That would be too much
of a hassle. Really, really troublesome.
There's no reason to
leave it alone when I know I'll be blamed.
That's why I said a
few words to Natura-san to get her to focus only on me...
"……"
Something amazing is
happening.
The surrounding plants
are withering away, and Natura-san is becoming more and more radiant. It's like
she's sucking out life. The more plants wither, the brighter Natura-san
becomes.
Her hair is also starting
to shimmer like a translucent cloth... what is she doing?
And then, when she had
withered all the plants in the forest───
She stood up───clothed in a
bluish-white glow.
I don't know what that
is.
How can plants wither
and Natura-san glow?
But it's definitely
because I said something to Natura-san. My words were the trigger... right?
So, does that mean
she's going to focus only on me from now on, as she declared?
Natura-san looked up
at the sky. Her expression was clear, as if possession had been lifted.
And then, when
Natura-san turned back to me───
"!"
She had a very gentle
smile on her face.
Natura-san pointed her
right index and middle fingers at me.
───Instantly, a white
tree sprouted from the empty ground and attacked me.
It was thick enough to
hold a person inside. The tree, without a single leaf on it, was translucent
and shiny like Natura-san's current hair, making its presence uncertain.
However, as it
emerged, pushing aside the soil, and approached me, kicking up dust, it was
undoubtedly there.
I, as usual, received
it head-on.
───Instantly, my vision
was filled with white.
A powerful explosion.
The moment I touched
the glowing tree, it exploded.
After the explosion,
the heat contracted, forming a spherical heat dome for a few seconds.
Although it wasn't on
a large scale, it had enough power to reduce anything it touched to dust. I
feel something similar to Chrisya-san's annihilation attacks.
What is this...!?
That doesn't matter.
I started to
regenerate right near where the explosion occurred.
Then, Natura-san
immediately grew a new tree and directed it towards my regenerating flesh.
Of course, I was
unable to move; I simply received it.
It exploded again in
the same way, creating a heat dome.
The mass of flesh that
was about to become me was also blown away by it.
This time, I start
regenerating slightly behind the point of the explosion.
"……?"
I thought Natura-san
would attack me again, but contrary to my expectations, I was able to
regenerate this time.
She's looking at me
and smiling.
Does that mean it
doesn't matter even if I regenerate? Or is it a fair fight?
I don't know, but...
I'm going to do what I do.
A new white tree grew
and came towards me again.
I dodged it as it bent
like a whip.
Lowering my center of
gravity and avoiding it, I ran towards Natura-san.
Now it's my turn to
attack.
Just as I was about to
close the distance between us,
"───"
Part of the growing
white tree began to glow red-hot.
It's right next to
where I am.
As the red spread,
that part expanded more and more───
Having reached its
limit, it exploded, engulfing me.
It was almost
instantaneous. To keep up with my supersonic speed and envelop me in explosions
so precisely...
Clearly, her dynamic
vision has improved.
I regenerated behind
Natura-san.
Incredible,
incredible!
The previous attack
was amazing enough, but this is even more so.
I've realized it after
only two exchanges.
It's completely
different from the previous rough attacks.
I can feel her nerves
are honed to kill only me!
A genuine targeted
attack, just for me.
Damn, this is bad...!
It's become
significantly harder to get close than before.
The accuracy of the
attacks has increased drastically.
It's almost as if
there's no opening anywhere, she's suddenly become so much better.
Damn... this is bad...
This is bad!
It's too much fun!!!
Unable to stop the
corners of my mouth from turning up involuntarily, I charged towards Natura-san
again.
With my speed, it
wouldn't take even a second to close the distance between us and Natura-san.
However, before I
could completely close the distance, Natura-san caused multiple white roots to
sprout from the ground and pierce my body as I was running.
The white roots, like
the white trees, exploded the moment they pierced my body.
The explosion, with a
power similar to Chrisya-san's annihilation, easily blew my body away once
again.
I regenerate at the
spot where I first received the explosion.
I was easily allowed
to regenerate again.
I turn my face towards
Natura-san again.
"!"
Before I know it, a
giant tree is suddenly standing behind Natura-san...
It looks the same as
the white trees she's been creating.
However, there are two
differences.
First, the size. It's
thick enough to easily fit twenty people, and it's at least ten meters tall.
It's larger than any of the trees she's created before.
And secondly, it has a
lot of leaves. The leaves are also translucent and glowing white. The tree is
so covered in leaves that you can't see half of it.
The moment Natura-san
pointed her arm at me, the leaves growing from the big tree were all shot
towards me.
Although they are
shaped like leaves, they fly like bullets.
Moreover, as the
leaves are shot out, replacements are generated at an incredible speed, so the
teeth growing from the big tree never decrease.
The moment the leaves
hit something, they explode. Like the others, a spherical heat dome is then
created as the heat contracts.
Every single leaf
causes such an explosion, so it's like being carpet-bombed.
At first, I tried to
avoid it by running sideways, but there were so many that I couldn't avoid them
all, and finally, a leaf hit me and exploded. My body was blown away again.
This time, I
regenerate a little further to the right of Natura-san.
Now, there's a single
majestic giant tree standing in the wasteland where no grass grows.
Surrounding it are
several trees writhing like snakes, as if protecting the tree.
Moreover, I'm sure
there are white roots still spreading across the ground, aiming for me.
To defeat Natura-san,
I have to avoid the leaves that fly like machine guns, dodge the branches that
fly like whips, and figure out where the roots are coming from to get close to
her.
Frankly, I don't see
any chance of winning.
How can I win?
Or rather, how do
those white glowing plants grow?
They cause an
explosion with an annihilation effect when touched, yet the next moment, a new
one is already growing.
It makes no sense at
all.
I don't know the odds,
and I don't know the principle behind those plants.
But that doesn't
matter.
Right now, it's just
fun.
I'm just having too
much fun fighting Natura-san.
Why should I think
about anything else when my heart is pounding like this!?
Ah... I want more, let's
do more!
More, more, more,
more!
More, more, more,
more!!!
Let's have more fun
(let's fight).
