- Chapter 53
- Iron Maiden
- Red Dragon Flame...... The Shield of Anger 2 that was changed by a black shadow.
- "Uooooooooooooo!"
- When I shout the air vibrates, it's as if the world resonated with me.
- "What......"
- The enemy stops fighting Firo and looks at me with a loss for words.
- Just like the first time it is extremely dangerous to hold the Shield of Anger, it is trying to consume my heart.
- The shield's anger has increased......Is this the result of my upgrades?
- Damn...... My view is warped.
- "Naofumi-sama"
- Suddenly, I feel a gentle touch.
- It is probably Raphtalia.
- I.....I will not lose here.
- I shake the black shadow off and restore my vision.
- And I look the enemy straight in the eye.
- "U......Uuaaaa"
- What!?
- When I look at Firo I feel a strange resonance with her.....The flame from my shield stays on Firo without burning her.
- "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- Firo sharpens her eyes like a bird of prey and kicks the enemy.
- Is this due to the Dragon Core that was absorbed by the shield?
- "W-What is going on. This is even heavier than before......"
- The enemy is in dismay due to Firo's attacks
- But, I can't tell if Firo is self-aware or not, all I can see in her eyes is rage in violence for the enemy.
- "What happened."
- The enemy approaches and asks.
- "Oh, It's my trump card."
- I still have my ego.
- It's going to be alright. I did not yield to anger because there was someone who will believe in me.
- I provoke the enemy despite all the cold sweat.
- I also instruct Raphtalia with my eyes to stay away.
- "Are you okay?"
- "Yeah, I can still restrain it."
- I approached the enemy
- "Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
- Special Effect, Roar.
- It is probably something that increases the vibrations in the air.
- "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- In response to my roar, Firo recklessly charges the enemy with me.
- "Damn......"
- "Don't dodge please!"
- "As If I'd do that!"
- While the enemy is dealing with Firo using her iron fan. I also enter the fray.
- Gagin!
- Alright, the attack is lighter compared to when I had the Chimeric Viper Shield.
- In this case it is not necessary to hunker down.
- The fire from the Curse revolves around me.
- According to my anger, the heat increases or decreases.
- If I don't keep my anger in check, then the fire power would be extrodinary.
- But, as for the flames, the power of the curse is still in there.
- "What!?"
- When Firo dived recklessly through my flames she falls to the ground instantly.
- Good!
- The black flame will take down the enemy.
- "But......It's not an attack that I cannot endure."
- .....Though she took my flames head on it wasn't fatal.
- "Rinbu Yabu No Kata ・ Kikkō wari!"
- (Tl note: 「輪舞破ノ型・亀甲割!」 If anyone's got anything better I'm all ears.)
- The Iron Fan was retracted and came piercing towards me. It resembles an arrow.
- Dangerous!
- I ready my shield with that in mind.
- Gatun, a heavy impact, and pain can be felt throughout the body.
- My body was damaged through the shield
- "Damn......"
- "Hey, was I supposed to fall from that attack?......"
- It is hard to stay calm from the pain. But if I lose my cool we all die here.
- "It was quite a good attack"
- That attack was probably meant for penetration, at least that's what it would do in games.
- Even if defence is very high, it would be ignored and have no meaning.
- There is also the possibility that it will do more damage the higher defence their opponent has.
- Is this the weakness of the Hero of the Shield?
- This is an old rule of thumb from net games, there are numerous ways to deal with any problem.
- I do not know if my knowledge from those games apply to this world, but there are some-things that will always be true.
- The enemy's offensive ability is simply too high while the shield is weak.
- Next, avoid attacks. It is a common sense against enemies that use instant death attacks.
- Finally, need some fire power. The way to overcome absolute offensive ability without dying is the role of a tank.
- Until now, I tried to think of reasons that the shield is weak, but none of them really apply.
- ......I don't understand.
- Anyway, I need to concentrate now.
- Using Fast heal I cure myself.
- I don't know whether or not the other party can heal, but I won't take any chances.
- "I know the weakness of your attacks."
- The enemy declares grandly.
- "Your only attack is the black flame which is close range. It cannot attack me from a distance. And that also makes your roar useless."
- Damn...... It hurts to be analysed
- She is quite suitable as a warrior. Insight is great. It if were someone else, she would not lose.
- If someone like her is part of the wave then won't it become a disaster?
- "However, once I take out your companions you are have chance of winning from a distance!"
- The enemy changes her aim to Firo
- "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- "You think I'd let you!?
- Damn, it takes too long to catch up since Firo and her are so fast.
- Anything......Isn't there anything on hand I can use?
- Then it hits me.
- Change Shield (Attack) Iron Maiden
- (Tl note: Author typo'd here,it's supposed to be チェンジシールド but he wrote チェンジールド http://ncode.syosetu.com/n3009bk/53/ for confirmation if you want.)
- It is the skill that comes with the Shield of Anger.
- Doing a last all-or-nothing attack isn't too bad.
- I think it was...... Shield Prison -> Change Shield (Attack) -> Iron Maiden.
- This is probably a skill that can only be used by consecutively using different skills.
- It might be a combination skill.
- "Shield Prison"
- I use the skill that surrounds the enemy within shields.
- "Please don't think I'll be stopped so easily."
- However, it is extremely difficult to catch an enemy that moves with this skill.
- Damn, this is also dangerous for Firo since they are moving so recklessly.
- I don't know if you will receive a fatal injury.
- The cage disappears doing nothing and only the cool down time remains.
- "Naofumi-sama, did you think of something?"
- "Yeah, is there any way you can stop her from moving?"
- It would be very dangerous, but it would give me the best chance of catching her within the cage.
- "I understand. I'll do my best"
- "W-Will you be alright?"
- "I'll be fine. I can fight today thanks to Naofumi-sama."
- Raphtalia takes a stance with her sword and concentrates.
- Her tail is also standing up......Is she going to use magic?
- "Match my timing because I'll stop her."
- "Yeah!"
- After some light appeared from her tail Raphtalia ran towards the enemy.
- "Deryaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- "To come from the front is truly foolish!"
- An arrow of light that is the iron fan is fired towards Raphtalia.
- But, Raphtalia dodges it by lowering her posture.
- "Deei!"
- The enemy was slashed at with the sword.
- "You're full of openings!"
- Raphtalia resumes her posture but is slashed by the enemy.
- Su...... Raphtalia scattered and simmered into the air.
- "What!?"
- There is a fizzing sound.
- Then, Raphtalia appears from behind the enemy and knocks her down.
- "Now!"
- "Got it!"
- I respond to Raphtalia's instructions. Firo has already moved away since she can tell I am about to use a skill.
- It seems she can be manipulated by the Shield of Anger.
- "Shield Prison!"
- "What--"
- The enemy is caged by shields.
- The cage seems to break at any moment due to her attacks.
- Not happening. I will not let the chance that Raphtalia made go to waste.
- "Change Shield (Attack)"
- I shout the name of the skill.
- The shields that are available to the changed to appears.
- The shield which I chose is the Bee Needle Shield!
- "--!"
- The shields change and the inside is attacked.
- An impact spreads throughout the cage.
- Iron Maiden!
- When I was about to shout the name of the skill, a sentence appears in my head.
- "The foolish criminal will feel with their whole body the embrace of virgin iron in a single blow.Release a cry full of painful agony that will not be heard!!"
- "Iron Maiden!"
- A huge iron torture device known as the iron maiden appears as I chant and wraps around the cage.
- "------------!"
- The cage of shield breaks and is confined by the iron maiden and pieced, not even the cry is let heard!
- At the same time my Sp hits 0.
- Th-this skill, does it use all of it's caster's SP as the sacrifice?
- And the effect time of the Iron Maiden disappears.
- "Gufu--"
- With her whole body penetrated the enemy glares at me while breathing heavily.
- "I am very dissatisfied......But I have no choice but to withdraw for today......"
- You can still stand after receiving such a skill?
- "You think I'll let you escape!?"
- "Ha!"
- The enemy starts running towards the crack in the sky. When I look at Firo she doesn't seem to want to chase.
- It seems Roar is necessary to order Firo to charge recklessly, but I cannot use it because I have no more SP.
- We almost beat her.
- "My name is glass..... You, what is your name?"
- Before she entered the crack she turned around and pointed at me.
- "Is it necessary for me to respond?"
- "No it is not. But I want to remember the person who cornered me like this. That's it."
- "As expected of a warrior, though there are a lot of things I want to know."
- "Then, let me give the person who has the shield one piece of information."
- What? What are you saying?
- "It is a big mistake to think of me as a mere disaster. But, it is not I who will win, It is the one beyond the boundary."
- Hm.....This information is surely important.
- I know nothing about what kind of thing a wave is.
- Glass..... It is necessary to know the meaning of her words, but also about the meaning of the waves.
- At least the enemy is an intellectual living entity.
- I have been too obsessed with that Bitch Princess and Trash King.
- The true enemy that we Heroes fight are these fellows from the wave.
- Hm.....It seems I have enemies behind and in-front of me......
- "Understood. Thanks for the information, My name is Iwatani Naofumi."
- "Naofumi...... I'll remember it!"
- When Glass declares that and enters the crack it starts to disappear.
- Shortly after it vanishes.
- I immediately change Shield of Anger 2 to another shield.
- Although that shield gives me a temporary Power Up I cannot use it for too long.
- "Haah......"
- "We did it."
- "I guess."
- "Funyaa...... Did something happen?"
- Raphtalia just catches up to me as I turn around, and Firo falls to the ground in exhaustion.
- "Was the wave settled somehow?"
- "I think so"
- "Firo is tired......"
- "Is that so. Let's ignore the other heroes and go clean up."
- Thus, the third wave in this world ended.
