Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~-Chapter 344.2: Withering One

Lucia raises her staff. The air in front of her swirls, forming a gigantic spear several meters long.

Since she isn't able to conquer with quantity, she will now compete with quality. That is a simple answer. And this time she is not alone.

As soon as they confirm the sharp spear of ice that has appeared, the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) use their techniques.

Lucia, this time we will match with you. (Lapis)

There are 5 Spirit People with an aptitude for Magic. Arrows of various colors appeared in front of the Spirit People in an instant.

Creating and firing arrows is one of the basic offensive Magics, and it is also a Magic that directly reflects the skill of the caster. Power in number. Firing speed and accuracy. Although it is not suitable for defeating enemies over a wide range, the Magic Arrow of a high-rank Magi is comparable to an advanced offensive Magic in terms of power alone.

Moreover, this time, multiple Magi use the technique at the same time, so there is a variety in the Magic Arrows. Water arrows. Wind, lightning, and earth arrows. The reason why there is no fire arrow is probably because Spirit People are not good with fire.

And then, without a single signal, those countless magics are released all at once.

Lucia's gigantic spear is fired at a speed similar to that of a cannonball, and the Spirit People's arrows draw an arc and attack the Phantom at high speed. Uno breath out at the Technique behind the fantastic scene.

It's amazinggg Spirit People's Magic skills are famousBut even though they are using their techniques in such a large group, they skillfully avoid interfering with each other's techniques (Uno)

Of course, Lucia Roje is a first-class Magi, but the others are undoubtedly also first-class Magi. Normally, it would be inefficient for multiple Magi to use offensive Magic on one target at the same time. This is because if their magics collide with each other, their power will be greatly reduced. However, in order to avoid offsetting and maintain their power, their arrows draw arcs to approach the target instead of straight lines.

It would be difficult to offset their Magic like it did before when it is being targeted by so many Magic of various attributes. Lucia observes the movement of the PhantomThe next move of the Magi who has surpassed her own Magic. Seeing the approaching Magic, the Phantom lifts its hand again.

Hh!? (Lucia)

Lucia opens her eyes wide and she gasps. A strong wind blows, causing the hair of the Phantom to sway. And thenA huge ice spear is created in front of her eyes.

NoThat is not the only thing that has been created. Magic Arrows are created one after another around the Phantom. The same type of Magic Arrow created by the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai).

Simultaneous activation of multiple MagicImpossible No, was the Magic technology that existed in the past that advanced (Adler)

Even I, who is not a pure Magi, know this. It is extremely difficult to deploy multiple types of offensive Magic at the same time. And when it comes to that many, there is probably no modern magician who can reproduce it. free(w)ebnovel.com

I can see that the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) are also stunned. The arrows collide and cancel each other out, causing a flash of light that resembles fireworks. The Ice Spear released by Lucia and the Ice Spear created by the Phantom collide head-on, and both spears shatter everywhere.

I guess their powers are almost even, but on our side, we are attacking with six Magi, including Lucia. And neither the Phantom nor the Spirit People have launched another attack yet. Are they watching the situation, or is there some other reasonSilence returns again.

It seems like the other side is completely superior in Magic. However, pure ability is not what decides between victory and defeat. There is still a chance of victory if we use physical attacks. A Paladin's protective techniques are designed to be used against Magi. (Adler)

There is still a chance to win. The cards in our hand are not just Lucia and Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai). What will decide the winner will be whether that Phantom can cope with Liz's divine speed while she has received Anti-Magic defense techniques.

Liz Smart's speed is higher than any Thief our group has encountered so far. That speed is close to a one-hit KO at first sight. Kill it as soon as there is a chance to strike. If she uses that Anti-Mana Metal rod, then even she will be able to do something about the Spirit.

As I am thinking about this, Sytry blinks, and *un, un* nods in agreement.

Aaaah So that is how it was. (Sytry)

Eh? (Uno)

Uno looks at Sytry.

Lucia's expression in the mirror has a displeased look on her face. She frowns, looks at her own palm, and says.

I see What is needed is not a parallel startup, but a standby input. Sequential construction techniques that have a waiting time before its launch. It is true that with this, different techniques can be activated at the same time, even if it is a pseudo one. If I had a little more time I would have noticed it on my own (Lucia)

She says in a sulking tone. Lucia looks up and looks at the Phantom. At the same time, Magic Arrows are created around her. But this time there is more than just Ice Arrows. Arrows of all colors and of all attributes of water, fire, ice, earth, and wind float in the air one after another. The speed of manifestation was slow, but it is a reenactment of what the Phantom did earlier.

Surrounded by arrows floating in the air, Unrestricted Creation (Bansho Jizai) thrusts his staff in front of her and says in a cold voice.

The contest of strength is over. Ten seconds until launch. With that much time, I can use some powerful Magic. Please protect yourself. (Lucia)

?? Why did she go through all that trouble to warn the enemy (Uno)

At Uno's question, Sytry says dismissively.

There is no way she is talking to the enemy. That is for Lapis-san and the other girls. (Sytry)

Eh? (Uno)

The arrows floating around her are fired with almost no time lag. Countless arrows approach the Phantom. Just as the Phantom lifts its hand, Lucia chants a spell loudly.

Over Gravity Frame (Kajuu Juuryoku Hado Sekai1) (Lucia)

Hh!?

The air creaks. The members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) who are standing around Lucia open their eyes and scream in pain as they fall to their knees. The body of the Phantom collapses to the ground as if it has been crushed from above. And then, the arrows that Lucia shot landed on its defenseless back.

The Water and Fire Arrows interfere with each other and explode, turning into vapor and blocking the view. Uno lets out a sound of both shock and admiration.

Uwa Is that, Gravity Magic? That's rare But I would never have thought that she would involve her allies (Uno)

Lucia-chan has been researching Gravity Magic at Cry-san's requestIt is alright, they wont die. In the first place, you cannot use your Magic if you are worried about your allies getting hit by it. (Sytry)

Says Sytry curtly. When we first encountered them, I thought they were an outrageous Party when they suddenly attacked us, but it seems that my impression of them was not a mistake.

The timing of her technique was perfect. By crushing the opponent's resistance with Gravity Magic, Lucia's offensive Magic has not been offset and has landed on the Phantom without fail. It is an attack that would have definitely blown away an ordinary Phantom. However, Lucia's grim expression has not changed.

Lucia stares at the vapor as she ignores her friends who have been involved in the attack.

A black spot mingles with the steam that is rising. The blackness quickly spreads over the entire area and falls to the ground in droplets.

What appears from the other side of the steam is the phantom lying on the ground and a Spirit that steps forward as if to protect it.

The Phantom's whole body has a much larger crack than before. However, not a single drop of blood comes out of it, and the cracks are quickly repaired. Apparently, that isn't enough, but now is not the time to worry about that.

Its body looks like a melted black sphere with black drops dripping from it, and the two gaping eyes are staring at Lucia. What in the world could this Spirit be, the black drops that fall to the ground spread miasma and erode the ground black. Its round eyes are cute at first glance, but there is no doubt that the Spirit is a monster that surpasses even the Phantom Magi.

Apparently, this is where the real part begins.

Cold sweat run down Lucia's cheeks, which had remained calm until now. Lucia takes out a bottle of water from inside her robe and opens the lid. The liquid inside dances in the air, forming a thin sash that protects Lucia.

A Water Spirit. Using a Spirit is considered to be one of the ultimate techniques for Magi. So she still has a hidden card to play. That is surprising, but even with that in mind, Lucia would still be at a disadvantage. The Spirits' caliber is too different. The Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) who are freed from the Gravity Magic stand up and ready their staff. However, even if everyone joins the fray, how much of the gap can they close.

A desperate situation. Sytry, who has been observing how the battle progresses, says with a troubled expression.

Hmm I guess she is at a bit of a disadvantage. Lucia-chan will try to fight even if she has no chance of winningBut we have no choice but to use Miles. A high-ranking Spirit for a high-ranking Spirit. (Sytry)

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Miles? Now that you mention it, Lapis also said something about it Yggdra's Guardian Spirit or something. (Adler)

We have evacuated it due to some circumstances, but we should be able to use it if it is for a little bitProblem is that Miles is inside Mimic-kun, and Serene, who can use it, is not here (Sytry)

Let's look for her. Mirror of reality, show me Serene! (Adler)

Didn't she say that Serene left with Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)Seriously, their timing is really bad. Why am I the one who does the most when I am here to see Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) skills? Suppressing my dissatisfaction that is beginning to rise, I give an order to the mirror of reality.

The image in the mirror switches. When I see the projected image, I momentarily forget about the situation we are in.

What is projected there is Serene, wearing the same fancy patterned shirt that Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) has previously worn. While being pushed on the back by Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) who has a troubled look on his face, she walks unsteadily through the streets of Yggdra.

That alone tells you that something unusual is going on, but what surprises me the most is Serene's expression.

She has the opposite expression of her dignified expression I saw yesterday, her eyelids are half closed and she looks sleepy. Her gait is unsteady, and she even yawns occasionally. From what I saw, Serene is supposed to be the type of Spirit People with a strong sense of responsibility, but the current Serene has no trace of what she was like yesterday.

This is problematic You heard that sound, right? It is good that you are comfortable, but you have to be firm. (Cry)

It doesn't matter anymore. The world is going to end anyway and this is the first time I've ever felt this good. Please don't disturb me. (Serene)

Hearing a voice that showed no motivation at all, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) lets out an exasperated sigh.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

I have heard that some people get ruined from being too comfortable, but I guess this is what happens to people with a strong sense of responsibility when all their burdens suddenly disappear all at once Come on, I heard a noise over there, let's go. (Cry)

"Th-that guy What is he planning to do when she is in this condition? (Adler)

His feet are heading towards Lucia and the others, who are now in the midst of a fierce battle.

Thanks for reading! Things to remember in this chapter: Cry provoked the Phantom so Lucia can learn about sequential Magic Serene put on the Comfortable Vacation and is now in a comfortable state! Lucia is now fighting the Phantom second phase, so what will Serene role be in all this!?
