Shield hero feats

“Air Strike Shield!” 
It's the first skill which I learned. It summons a shield within a range of about five meters.
But it served no purpose if I was alone.
It felt like everyone was forced into having a specialized role.
I focused my mind, imagining the desired location to call forth my Air Strike shield; this mysterious ward which will vanish once its duration time is over.


“Shield Prison!”

A skill which allows me to summon an enclosed cage anywhere within a six meter radius.
This time around, I'll be dropping it directly on my target, the porcupine.
Although this skill was intended for protection, it could also be used as a restraining device to trap a target inside.
———
Its duration period was 15 seconds.

"Erst Shield!"

I showed the enemies running at me a shield in midair, and I was already triggering my next skill.

"Change Shield!"

Change Shield is a skill that let's me change Erst Shield and Shield Prison into any type of shield I know.
The shield I chose was Bee Needle Shield.
Bee Needle Shield's effects were needle shield (small) and bee poison (paralysis).

"Wha-, a shield just! GAHA-!"

One of the thieves running at us ran into the suddenly appearing shield, fell down, and went numb with cramps. I'm glad the effect activated fine.

"Shield Prison!"
"What's with-"

And another thief was caught in the shield's cage.
They each have limited time. Change Shield's cool down time was 30 seconds. Using it continuously was difficult.




The shield I had equipped now was the Chimera Viper Shield.
The effects were snake poison (middle) and hook.
The sculpture of a snake on the shield started moving and bit the thieves that had launched an attack at me. Snake poison was a poison attack that reacted to enemies that attacked me.
[…]
I gave orders to the shield's hook. The snake sculpture on the shield lifted up one of the thieves.
This hook effect doesn't have and attack power, but it's range is 2 meters. It's good for grabbing things or climbing mountains.
The thief's movement visibly worsened and he started to collapse.



The writing started to glowed. This was what only I could read, the magic carved into myself.
'The shield hero gives his power and commands you. Now, read and solve one principle and protect his person!'
"First Guard!"

A target mark floated into my vision. As a test I tried choosing myself.
A pale light latched onto me.
I checked my status and saw that part had improved.



Silver Ore Shield
True power sealed...equipment bonus, attack power from demon-type 2% cut

Might as well try magic...
Naofumi: "I am the Hero of the Shield who commands the origin of power. I have read and deciphered a law of nature. May the power of nature defend me!"
Naofumi: "Fast Guard!"
I applied defensive magic on Raphtalia and Firo.
This magic improved the target's defence by a percentage. It is a support magic that shines when the target has high Defence.

Though recently, I've noticed that my defence is now ranged, I can proceed through enemies even though I’m surrounded.

See chapter 40 for plant remodeling



Soul Eater Shield
Ability Unsealed......Equipment Bonus: Skill "Second Shield"  Soul Resistance (Intermediate) Mind Attack Resistance (Intermediate) SP Up
Special effect: Soul Devour Sp recovery (Weak)

Even though the demon head was dismantled the name did not disappear so it doesn't really matter.
I absorb another part but there is no change either.
However, I am curious as to what the Second Shield skill does. As for soul resistance......It is probably resistance against attacks of this type.
the name Soul Devour makes me slightly anxious. It seems I can eat souls; it's quite unpleasant.
The shape of my shield changes slowly. The design seemed to be based off of this demon's head since it is attached to my shield.
...... It's defence is greater than the Chimeric Viper Shield.
It seems Soul Devour is a skill that is exclusive to this shield.

So I reach out my hand.
When I do so I am unable to touch the flesh of the soul eater.
But it still feels different somehow.
Good.
I don't want anything that will consume souls, I don't have such a hobby.
It's probably a counter effect. It will probably just absorb the enemy's SP.
Now then, what will the skill Second Shield do?
I'll experiment.

"Second Shield!"

Air Strike Shield -> Second Shield

An icon appears.

"Air Strike Shield!"

After I confirm the Air Strike Shield appearing I once again call out

"Second Shield!"

......Another shield appears.
I see. It seems I'll be able to add another shield on top of Air Strike Shield within it's effect duration.
This will have various uses, but the performance of the second shield may be different.




I intensely concentrate on the flying attack, While lightly putting my hand over it's energy, I catch the arrow by it's shaft just before it reaches me!

"What!? He caught my Eagle Piercing Shot with his hand!?"

Itsuki responds to my action by expressing his shock.





“This is the name of the punishment for the foolish sinner, he who shall be sacrificed as a scapegoat to god. Become a sacrifice to the steel trap! Experience the intense pain of a being drained of all your blood!”(Naofumi)
“Blutopfer!”(Naofumi)
Gufu……
Wh- What!? The moment I cast the skill, blood begins to overflow from my body, my muscles begin to tear, and my bones start to creak.
This…Was it a suicide skill?
The pope smiles as he sees me heavily injured, but the next instant a giant red and black steel trap appears under his feet.
Quite unlike a normal steel trap, this one has multiple layers. It looks like the ground grew a shark’s mouth, with the Pope in the middle.
“Wha-“(Pope)

Gatun! A sharp metal sound can be heard the instant the Pope is bitten by the steel trap.
“Gugyaaaaaaaa–“(Pope)
The pope’s scream echoes out.
Red bloods splashes over the steel trap and causes it to shine.
“Something of this degree–“(Pope)
This is… harsh.
The pope tries to take countermeasures, but the steel trap repeatedly opens and shuts, seeming as if it were ridiculing him.
“Guha……It was all… for……Go-God……”(Pope)
The pope fires off a few skills, but the steel trap isn’t even scratched.
Two… Three cracks start to appear on the legendary weapon replica. As the fourth crack appears, a shattering sound can be heard.
The steel trap suddenly falls to the ground and disappears, leaving the pope’s corpse behind, which, at this point, is nothing more than a lump of flesh.


[Note: Curse flames curse the opponent making any healing difficult]



Blue Shark Shield
Unsealing completed… Equipment Bonus: Swimming Skill 1
Shark Bite Shield
Unsealing completed… Equipment Bonus: Shipboard Combat Skill 1
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang
Shark Leather Shield
Unsealing completed… Equipment Bonus: 2% Damage Reduction from the Aquatic System
Special Effect: Shark’s skin



Though for me it still feels like juice and water.
I have never gotten drunk.

Boss:”Uhh……Err, The Rukoru Fruit can only be drunk after mixing it with a big barrel of water. When you just eat such a thing……”
Naofumi:”Haa? What are you saying? I won’t be fooled easily.”
Boss:”No……The truth is……”
Motoyasu:”Naofumi not getting drunk. Such a lie won’t work on me.”
[Ate a whole bunch of these fruit]

Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Ability Unsealed…… Equipment Bonus: On Board Combat Skills 1.
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
Item Enchant Level 1: 2% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .
Since there still a little left, I’ll try it again.
Ah, a failure! It became zero. But, I’ll continue.
I got it to level 2.
Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Ability Unsealed…… Equipment Bonus: On Board Combat Skills 1.
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
Item Enchant Level 2: 3% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .
While getting carried away and apply more, I stopped at seven. The success rate for 8 is rather low.
Shark Bite Shield 1/20
Ability Unsealed…… Equipment Bonus: On Board Combat Skills 1.
Special Effect: Shark’s Fang.
Item Enchant Level 7: 16% Damage Reduction of Aquatic Monsters .


Chimeric Viper Shield (Awakened) 0/30 R

Soul Eater Shield (Awakened) +6 35/35 SR (TL: Super Rare)
Ability Bonus
…
Equipment Bonus
Skill: Second Shield
Soul Resistance (Medium)
Psychological Attack Resist (Small)
SP Up
Passive: Soul Eater
Sp Recovery (Weak),
Drain Effect,
Intangibility,
Undead Control
Proficiency 67
Enchantment Level 7, SP +10%
Bonus against Undead (Defense +50)
Status Enchant (Endurance +30)

Just as its name implies, Intangibility allows me to pass through solid objects… But going through a single wall takes up all of my SP. And that was quite a thin wall at that. I wonder what will happen if I solidify inside a wall. (TL: The Wizardry generation knows)
Undead Control allows me to manipulate undead monsters to some extent. I tried using it on some Skeletons, but it immediately dried up my SP.

I approach Raphtalia and Firo to get them into the [Meteor shield] barrier.
“Ah, It feels light again” (Firo)
They both stand up and approach.
From the looks up it, it’s safe to say this is Gravity Magic.
However, the Spirit Turtles Magic wasn’t able to break through my magic defense.

I was saved. Soul Eater Shield was not enough to endure that attack.
Fortunately that finishing move from the spirit turtle needs time to recharge.
When I look back, everything that I wasn’t guarding vanished, the mountain behind us is missing.



I changed to the Soul Eater Shield and recovered SP by stealing it from the swarming familiars with a counter-attack.



“A large number of troops have died from Mana depletion.” (Soldier)
“How is the situation on the front?” (Naofumi)
“Because of the Hero of the Shield’s protection, they have begun to prepare the sealing magic for the heart.” (Soldier)
“I see…” (Naofumi)
For my Drain resistance to come in handy in a place like this…




“Alright Firo, We’re helping them!” (Naofumi)
“Yes!” (Firo)
Firo rushes in at the speed of sound and sends the familiars in front of Rafatalia flying with a kick.




Spirit Turtle Carapace Shield 0/40 C
Ability Bonus
…
Equipment Bonus
Skill: E Float Shield
Gravity Field
C Soul Recovery
Magical Barrier (Large)
Weapon Proficiency 0
–
E Float Shield… Is that short for Erster?
What sort of skill is that?
I should probably test it.
「E Float Shield!」
The word ‘On’ appear in my field of vision. In the air, a shield manifests.
… Is it something like Air Strike Shield?
I think this as I try to approach the floating shield…
As I walk forward the shield moves as well to match my movement.
?
Is it a wall that moves with me as the base? It’s like a combination of Air Strike Shield and Meteor Shield.
I wait for the skill to wear off.
…It’s not disappearing.
Its effective time is quite long. I don’t have time to wait for it to vanish. I’ll figure out its effect time later.
C Soul Recovery is probably the ability that the Spirit Turtle had. The ability to steal and recover SP as you attack
Gravity Field is an ability that seems to be common in the Spirit Turtle Series.
I believe it will force objects to be drawn to the ground, but as I am the only person here, I can’t really test it.
…
As I am deep in thought, the E Float Shield begins to spin in the air in front of me.
What is this?
It’s getting in the way. Go away.
And with that thought, it does indeed move away.
…So it can move to whatever location I command it to move to.
This might be quite useful.
Its effective range is 1 Meter from me.
The on-off icon that appears makes me think it is probably a Semi-Passive skill.
My SP is slowly decreasing over time.
I think I will be able to keep it up for quite a while. As expected of something made of Spirit Turtle Materials.
“Change Shield!” (Naofumi)
I change my equipped shield. And instead of disappearing the floating shield changes to match my new shield.
Hmm… This could have quite a few uses. The only flaw is that I can only bring out one at a time.
This shield may become part of my main repertoire. But that depends on the quality of the shield the Old Man makes for me.



Spirit Turtle Heart Shield 0/45 C
Ability Bonus
…
Equipment Bonus
HP Recovery Increase (Small)
C Magic Snatch
C Gravity Shot
Tenacity Enhancement (TL: Literally Life Force Up)
Weapon Proficiency 0
C Magic Snatch… It probably lets me steal magic power. C Gravity Shot seems to be an offensive ability.
(TL: Though he may be stating the obvious, most of the skill names are in english while his explanation is in japanese.)
Tenacity Enhancement? If this were a game, it would increase my endurance.



Naofumi:”Shield Bash!”
I set my sights on an enemy, chant the skill to hit with my shield. Therefore, the demon was hit by the shield.
I watch as the Yellow Beetle is smashed……and I hear a nice smack.
Though, it didn’t seem to do very much damage.
However……Its movement stopped.
It seems to have been stunned for about three seconds.
This is a skill that inflicts an abnormal state called Stun or confusion.
Though it’s still a problem that i can’t do any damage……
Firo:”Bug~”
Some munching sounds resounded.
……During the opening that the yellow beetle shown when its movement stopped, it was pitifully finished off with Firo eating it.
Cool down time is 5 seconds. It is easy to use. Doesn’t cost much SP either.
(Tlnote: WHAT!? 3 second stun on a 5 second cooldown that doesn’t cost much SP? Can somebody yell: “NERF!”?)
As we approach the center of the island, the demons increase in levels, and Raphtalia was struggling slightly.




Dragon’s Era Sand Shield    0/60 C
Ability Sealed…Equipment Bonus, Skill [Portal Shield]
Proficiency 0
I had a look at the sudden pop-up….there were no special skills attached. Its ability wasn’t very high either.
“Portal Shield!” (Naofumi)


“What sort of skill is it?” (Naofumi)
“It lets you teleport to a preset location…” (Motoyasu)
“Are there any conditions?” (Naofumi)
“No idea… In my game you could use it in any area that didn’t prevent skills.” (Motoyasu)
I still have no idea how to prevent it.
Though there may have been areas that limited it while in the game, I have no idea if this world has such places.
Can you set to anywhere you’ve been before?
“What can you set the destination as?” (Naofumi)
“You can set up to Three locations. If you try to set another, the oldest one will be forgotten. The most people you can take with you is 6.” (Motoyasu.)



“Portal Shield!” (Naofumi)
Reuse time, a countdown time of 1 hour appeared.
It’s longer than I expected.
Well, if it was short then it could be utilised in battle.
“Now then, let’s return.” (Naofumi)
Just like this, we finished experimenting and returned to the village.
By the way, it seems like the possible transfer point memory of the Portal Shield is fundamentally impossible inside caves and buildings. The summoning space was the initial point and that’s why there’s that sort of treatment.

[Blocking the giant turtle foot can be done when they encounter it, and blocking that one attack that destroyed a mountain]


"Hate Reaction!" (Naofumi)

A skill that lures monsters. Actually it has one other hidden effect that was confirmed on Cal Mira Island. It can drag out the real form and reveal opponents lightly concealed by magic and skills. It was when Raphtalia released Phantom Sword, and I used Hate Reaction. Raphtalia's state of concealment was cancelled. Therefore detection can be used in cases of concealment.




"An opening!" (Female Knight)

Female Knight struck at Ren's shoulder. Raising a thunk sound, the attack resounded fruitlessly.

"Kkukkuku...the sword I am currently using has the effect of Self-Recovery(Large). There is no meaning to your meager attacks. Obediently admit your defeat" (Ren)

Ren laughed evilly. His eyes are shining. Ah, he's laughing since he's figured that Female Knight can't deal a decisive blow.

Why was it explained? Well even my armor has a Self-Recovery effect.

"Fumu...you are soft compared to Iwatani-dono, but instant recovery huh. How troublesome" (Female Knight)




[Can see the flow of magic power and control his own. Using that he can strengthen his magic over the normal amount and defend against techniques that circumvent his durability by infusing energy(ki) into him]





The worst case...let's not think about it. Let's just hope Melty is also a target of the lust-controlled Firo. It would've been dangerous if she was controlled by gluttony.

"Atla, how is it?" (Naofumi)
"Yes. I felt the enclosure cast by Naofumi-sama block the ominious power" (Atla)
"Is that so!?" (Naofumi)

That's good. In other words, Firo will return to normal while in the prison. Melty did a good job too.

"The prison made by Naofumi-sama is simply wonderful. There are still a few frayed spots but, the ominous power has been obstructed" (Atla)
"Ohh..." (Naofumi)

It seems adding magic power to Prison somehow gets rid of its openings. I've heard something good. Female Knight destroyed it easily, but next time won't be so. Training this is vital.




I examined the Barbarian’s Armour.

And three days after I returned to the village.
Me and Atlas learned the technique Rishia used for sucking in Chi from the air.
“It’s quite difficult.” (Naofumi)
“Yes… Musou Kassei, was it? It seems that I’ll be able to keep it up for quite a while.” (Atlas)
Yes, Atlas learned how to hold up Mussou Kassei for long periods of time.
But even though I learned how to suck in Chi, I can’t seem to get a grasp of Mussou Kassei whatsoever.




「Revelation Aura」!
(TL: I’m not sure if it’s liberation of revelation. The higher level is testament, so I’m leaning towards Revelation. Also http://batspi.com/index.php?%E3%83%AA%E3%83%99%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9)
Revelation… is it a level above Dreifach?
The words come naturally out of my mouth.
Now then, who should be my guinea pig?
I’ll try casting it on the sturdy Firo.
“Firo, stay still for a bit.” (Naofumi)
“Eh…” (Firo)
Firo’s face shows blatant discontent.
What’s with that attitude?
“Whenever master says something like that, nothing good happens.” (Firo)
Ah, I get that feeling too.
Especially for Firo. Those are the words I used when she had the Monster Crest carved on her.
The Firo of that time was shaking. Did she get a trauma?
If that’s the case, I guess I can understand why she would hate it.
“Well that’s true, but it won’t really hurt this time. I think. So just become my test subject.” (Naofumi)
“No…” (Firo)
I hear Firo complaining, but I forcibly cast it on her anyways.
I really am a devil.
But it’s support magic, so it shouldn’t hurt.
Anyways, the magic eventually comes into contact with Firo.
The visibly dense mass of magic envelops Firo, and permeates into her skin.
Gu… My magic and SP’s been drained clean.
That’s just how much it cost.
“W-what did you cast?” (Firo)
“I used it before, right? It’s the spell Aura, which increases all stats. I think it’s a higher level this time.” (Naofumi)
“Is that so?” (Firo)
“Yeah, so try jumping.” (Naofumi)
“Okay.” (Firo)
Firo tries to jump lightly while flapping her wings.
But…
“Wa-” (Firo)
With amazing force, she sends herself flying towards the ocean.
It was as if a rocket had been launched.
“Ah…” (Naofumi)
Yeah. For now, let’s check Firo’s status.
Uwah, this is amazing. Every single stat has more than doubled.
I guess moving with this status would cause her to blast off.



https://yoraikun.wordpress.com/2015/02/14/the-rise-of-the-shield-hero-chapter-257/ <— on normal and dragon pulse magic mixing or something. Magic mechanics stuff



“I think you also have 『Animal Friends』, an ability that attracts animals to you naturally. You’d do fine as a veterinarian.” (Itsuki)
“Ah, I see.” (Naofumi)
“Master~ Pat Firo’s head~” (Firo)
“Niichan, play~” (Kiel)
“Hero of the Shield-sama, um…” (Imya)
The Bird, the Loinclothed Dog, and Imya are swarming around me.
… I wonder.
I get the feeling that animals have liked me since I was young.
When I walked around the mountains, wild birds naturally perched on my shoulders, and I encountered wildlife easily.
I once encountered a bear, and played dead to try to survive. Rather than attacking, it started licking my face.
I later learned that playing dead doesn’t actually work.


But on the other hand, the magic Fast Grow Heal was a success.
Its effect is Fatigue Recovery.
Nevertheless, it has a weak effect on severe fatigue, and is rather pointless to cast on myself.
This is Recovery magic from the Support Category. Wounds also get healed somewhat.


『I guide the power of this water and wish for its embodiment. Oh Dragon Pulse. Give me power』
“Aqua Seal” (Naofumi)
I cast water support magic on Ren.
“Uwa” (Ren)
Ren closed his eyes, blinking in surprise, and checked his status.
“Doesn’t magic have something similar?” (Naofumi)
“Yeah, it’s a spell to increase fire resistance called Fast Resist Fire.” (Ren)


“Ren, though you may already know, I’d like to talk about the Hengen Musou style of fighting.” (Naofumi)
“The one that Eclaire and Rishia use?” (Ren)
“Right. That style focuses on the use of Chi.” (Naofumi)
“Eclaire also explained it, but I can’t seem to understand it. Can you?” (Ren)
“A bit. Since Atlas, who can see things others cannot, has continuously been punching the weaknesses I’ve never noticed in my defenses, I think I’ve grasped something.” (Naofumi)
I start explaining from the first time Female Knight showed me the style. Even if the heroes cannot use Mussou Kassei, the ability to recover Mana and SP will come in handy. It also has plenty of applications in skills.
As I was doing so, Ren, Motoyasu, and Itsuki begin reading screens invisible to my eyes.
“… It’s true. It wasn’t there before, but the item known as EP appeared in the help menu.” (Ren)
“What?” (Naofumi)
“I think it’s an abbreviation of Energy Points… Using SP and Magic to power up skills, and raising abilities… How to use it is…” (Ren)
“W-wait…” (Naofumi)
It can’t be in the Help. It’s something I discovered.
It doesn’t even involve the legendary weapons.
“It also explains how to use it. There was an occupation that could do something like this in Brave Star Online. It was a bit simpler, but I think it’s something close.” (Ren)
“Father-in-Law, there was also something like this in the games I played.” (Motoyasu)
“Same…” (Itsuki)
Um, so it’s something like a job skill?
Something only a certain class can use?
Quit messing with me!
“Understanding the energy within the body… this is quite hard. But…” (Ren)
The Chi emitting from Ren starts changing.
It starts flowing around his sword. Eventually, it settles into a steady flow around his blade. I can tell all of this just by looking.
The same happens to Motoyasu and Itsuki.
Now if they were to use a skill, the potency would definitely increase.


The Legendary Weapons make one different from the average person. Just by possessing one, the user is sent into a constant state of Mussou Kassei.
The Help called it Energy Boost.
Since it was perpetually active, it couldn’t be stacked on again.
It was quite a boring result.




First is 『Collect』.
This is for magic-based attacks. Using Chi, you can move and redirect a magic attack aimed at you.
It’s convenient when facing large scale magic head on.
Its radius of effect is three meters.
Of course, if you infuse more chi into it, you can increase that.
Next is 『Wall』.
This technique manifests an invisible wall for a few seconds to obstruct enemies.
It mostly works like my Air Strike Shield.
It can stop physical and magical attacks to some extent.
It’s much more all-purpose than the skill. Its deployable area is also really large.
Its weak points are its low defense, and its short effective time.
Last is 『Ball』. This one is a counter skill.
Using it, you can gather and condense a magic attack and send it right back at the caster. Of course, there are plenty of magics it cannot send back, so it isn’t that effective.
It works on a different principle than hitting attacks back with my shield.
I made it so that Atlas was able to use these skills.
They’re skills based on my natural ability of defense, and Atlas was just mimicking that, though.



“It’s hard to read her movements, and she’s fast. What’s more, whenever I think I’m going to hit, she immediately diverts my attacks. I can’t get any damage through to her.” (Ren) “And on top of that, her attacks naturally ignore defense, so it’s hard to develop countermeasures.” (Itsuki)
“But do you think you will be able to do anything about it?” (Naofumi)
“Probably. But, if I fought her one on one, I would have to go all out, or it would be difficult.” (Ren)
“It would be hard to stop her without giving her serious injury.” (Itsuki)
For a fully strengthened Hero to have to go all out… Just how fast is she growing?
But since the Heroes try to avoid killing any villagers, they have to hold back. I guess it would be a hard fight.
“Fohl-kun can stop her, so I think we’ll manage one way or another, but as expected of the strongest Demi-Human race, the Hakukos.” (Itsuki)
Itsuki speaks with an uninterested tone.
By hearing him, I don’t get the impression that they’re strong at all.
Even so, Fohl is quite something to be able to stop her as well.
“Yeah, keeping up with her is the best I can do. She’s way too agile.” (Ren)
By the way, Fohl is at 110, and Atlas at 103.
Just how strong is my village getting?
Atlas always takes on a large number of opponents, so she gets a lot of battle experience unrelated to her level.
During the day, she trains with other strong geniuses like Firo and Sadina. She’s constantly improving herself.
“Is she seriously that strong?” (Naofumi)
When I train with her, I can take her blows just fine.
Perhaps she holds back against me. I can’t refute the possibility.
Should I ask her to come at me seriously next time?
If she manages to beat the crap out of me, I have no idea what I’ll do.
“Since Naofumi can only be on the defense, it’s hard to find opportunities to attack, I bet. We have to mix in offense as well.” (Ren)
“This is the first time I’m hearing of it. Just taking attacks is hard in itself, you know. I mean, aren’t you better off than someone who has virtually no offensive power?” (Naofumi)
“Well, I can’t argue with that.” (Ren)
Just keeping up defenses is easy… There may be some people who think that, but that’s definitely not the case.
You have to catch and shift the impact of opponents’ blows to stop them, and parry them as well. You can’t just hold up a shield.
What’s more, my self-made defense style also allows me to break opponents’ weapons, thus aiding my party.
This does not work on Legendary Weapons, of course.
I can do Shirahatori, and grab weapons and arrows out of midair. (TL: Shirahadori is that thing where you clap your hands on a sword swinging downwards)
I can interfere with magic as well, and support magic is my duty.
And wait, that’s kinda all I can do. I mean, there’s no helping it. I just don’t have offensive capability.



On top of Atlas’s hand floats a ball made out of Chi. Its size increased, to show the shape of a tiger inside of it.
“… Is that my chi?” (Fohl)
“Yes, it is the chi you released at me. I was unable to avoid a little, so I’ve sealed it like this. Now you understand what I’m going to do with it, right?” (Atlas)
This isn’t going to be pretty.
『Ball』 is a counter I thought up with Atlas.
It collects power released at it, and returns it.
It’s mainly geared towards anti-personnel battles but it can equally be used against large monsters like the Spirit Turtle.
And this is the first time she’s using it against a single person.


all revelation aura x with cane https://ohanashimi.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/chapter-326-x/
(covers a level gap of 200 for a goup…. like wtf. op please nerf)



I stabbed Tact’s arm with the tip of the Cane and averted his Claw Slash.
Because of that, the skill Tact fired, Second Slash, didn’t have sufficient power and vanished.
“I wouldn’t say that’s an opportunity.” (Naofumi)
“Gu….” (Tact)
“Try firing your skill however much you want. I’ll immediately destroy its power. This is how I fight as the Hero of the Shield.” (Naofumi)
The Hero of the Shield has no need to receive all the opponents’ attacks.
To elude the attack, I can make it so the power doesn’t come out in advance.
It’s precisely for this that I’ve been continuously practicing since coming to this world, and I know techniques to interfere with the opponents’ attacks.
After that there were various things, like a barrage of attacks, but right now Tact was only focused on me so there’s no problem.
Like this, it seems like I have some room to spare.


『I, an ordinary Hero who has understood the origin of power command. Let the truth once more be read forth. Clear the tempests of flame that burns all before him』!
「Anti Dreifach Firestorm」
I analyze the magic Tact chanted, and activate one to nullify it.
And as if it had never existed in the first place, the twister of flames dispersed.





“SHOOT-!” (Woman)
The women aim their rifles at me and pull the trigger.
Gunshots resound throughout the surroundings.
But…. in the middle of that, I deployed the defensive measures I had planned.
In an instant, lead balls came flying towards me.
Because it’s the marksmanship of rifles fired by level 250 guys,
they demonstrated an ability that wouldn’t even lose to the rifles from my world.
Well… I’ve never seen an actual gun in my own world though.
The women probably believed their attacks hit me.
In reality, they showed a face of trying to protect their comrade mixed with a hint of impatience.
I wondered why they didn’t understand if they could show this kind of expression, but it’s not something I care about.
I’ll trample over that kind of thinking.
The bullets that tried to penetrate me.
….Those bullets all hit Tact.
“Guhaa!” (Tact)
“Wha―” (Woman)
The women became speechless and dropped their rifles.
“Wh-why….” (Woman)
“Oh dear… what are you doing. You guys are merciless.” (Naofumi)
I rile them up with a smile.
“Why did our bullets hit Tact!?” (Woman)
Right, I…. used the techniques I thought out with Atla, [Collect] and [Wall], to change the trajectory of the bullets the women fired and deliver them to Tact.

It’s all of nothing. Let’s try setting up Iron Maiden!
「Change Shield (Attack)」!
Something clinks into place, as thorns sprout from the shields surrounding the one making the barrier.
I immediately transition to the next skill.
「Iron Maiden X」!
A giant Woman of Iron appears, dealing the finishing blow.
But the output shouldn’t be more than half the original.
Of course, with the enemies being who they are, there’s a possibility it didn’t work.
We’ll have to move again immediately.


I rush through, fully prepared to take damage.
「Shield Bash」!
“Ugu…”
Good, it seems that was a good hit. His eyes are upturned.
His footing is also unsteady.
[vs hero of scythe btw.]


From his katana, a wind-themed blade of light comes flying.
I take his attack and redirect it… towards the one who is fighting Ren.
Ren’s always made a habit of observing his surroundings. Noticing the sword wave flying towards him, he jumps back.
And the sharp edge tears the one who could make absolute defense barriers to shreds.



“It looks like they’ll need a capable commander… Ahaha, I found an interesting soul floating around.” (Medea)
Medea starts chuckling… she opens her hand.
What? The world stopped?
Only Trash, Medea, and I can still move.
“Come out.” (Medea)
In the area above Medea’s hand, a black, glass-like ball manifests… the person that emerges from it puts both Trash and I at a loss for words.





The skill I use surrounds us, and everyone… chants a skill at Medea.
「… of Ø」
Right, it seemed too strange for a skill to do absolutely nothing.
I thought it odd that they mocked us with a skill meant for nothing but showing off, so me, Ren and Itsuki consulted one another.
If we ever encountered an enemy too strong, we would leave the possibility open to use it to see if it did anything.
I never thought a chance to use it would present itself so soon.
“Wha–”
Medea, who had continuously showed us her lax impression, suddenly got into a panic.
So it’s true…
The Ø skills glow as they shoot off towards her.
“Goddess!?”
The warring reincarnators and their armies stop moving.
“Good!”
So we can beat her with this.





“Let’s see. 100% Deadly Aim, 100% Death, 『Infinity Destroyer』. Yep, you’re dead.” (Medea)
White, and black. Red was also mixed in. An infinite amount of lines circle.
They merge into a single narrow beam, and fly towards me.
Just like with the attack that killed Motoyasu, I can’t follow it with my eyes.
Yes… I guess you could call it death.
It’s like she materialized the concept of death itself. That’s the sort of feeling I got.
I don’t know why I was able to see it.
In truth, Medea’s attack was much faster than my own sense of perception, so there’s no way I should have been able to see it.
It’s as if she had bypassed the entire effect animation, leaving only the message 『Enemy has been Killed』 behind. A patchwork of time that left only the result.
W-what is… this!?
By luck, or miracle, I…. block the attack with my Shield.
It felt as if I had successfully blocked it.
I also had confidence in the fact that I hadn’t died yet.
But…
“Ara? You blocked it? For you to be able to take an attack whose speed surpassed infinity, you must be quite the lucky one.” (Medea)
Speed that surpasses infinity?
Is this one alright in the head? Her words are going all over the place.
No, it was true that I was unable to understand the enemy’s attack.
The fact that I was able to block it was truly just a miracle. It’s like she had merely sent the blast flying to the area where my Shield was fastened.
If she shoots again… I’m dead.
“Then how about this? It wastes a needless amount of power, so I don’t like using it, but I guess there’s no choice.” (Medea)
… The moment after Medea said that, I died.
“Eh…?”
As if a switch had been turned off. As if the power had been cut, my consciousness was instantly sent adrift.
I truly did not understand just what it was that Medea did.
“You’d probably hate dying without even knowing the reason, so let me tell you. Your past, present future. I directed an attack on all of the yous in all parallel and divergent worlds in existence.” (Medea)
By the time I was aware of my surroundings once more, I was in the air.
In no time at all, the HP bar on my Status had reached 0.
Ren was the same, and…
“Naofumi-sama–”
Raphtalia immediately reached her hand out to me.
I try to answer her warmth by raising my arm, but I can’t put any power in.
“In the name of god, just vanish into oblivion!” (Medea)
My body’s been torn to pieces, but still, she continues to attack…
[Lots of stuff happening]




“What do you think has happened?” (Raphtalia)
“A place for you in this world has been made… the Spirit of the Shield did say he could tamper with cause and effect to some extent so that I could bring someone along.” (Naofumi)



When I look out the window, I saw that the birds had stopped in midair, with their wings positioned to flap.
The Four Holy Weapons’ Manual began letting off a faint light, as it floated in the air.
Even though it never reacted once ‘til now, what’s it doing?
The pages rapidly flip back and forth.
The Shield Strap starts emitting light as well, and the light took a form of a person.
That shape was… Atlas.
“It’s been a while, Naofumi-sama.”
“Atlas… san.” (Raphtalia)
“Yes. It’s been even longer, Raphtalia-san.” (Atlas)
“Atlas? Why are you coming out of the Shield? Are you alright?” (Naofumi)
“For now, yes. As you can see, the time in Naofumi-sama’s world is currently stopped.” (Atlas)
“Well…” (Naofumi)




And what he handed over was a set of armor.
Its name was Barbarian Armor EX.
It seems like a different piece than the one I always wore before.
Well, with that attack that Bitch Goddess Used, it was completely destroyed, so he probably worked hard to repair it.
This armor sure likes to reappear.
And right now, I judge the materials of the armor presented before me. The materials used are… Spirit Turtle, Houou, and Kirin.
Also, the concepts those people picked up yesterday are also included. On the material list, is the material Carbon.
Thinking back, it’s been a while since I asked Dragon Emperor Gaelion to reknew the core of the armor.
I remove the corestone that was inserted to take the place of the core.
“Gaelion.” (Naofumi)
“KYUA!”
『Well, well, well… you’re the same as always. After attaining that much power, you still ask of me to share mine own?』
When I call him, Gaelion takes a step forward.
『You can never be too safe.』
As I used telepathy to answer him, he snorted back at me through telepathy.



“Kue!”
“Yeah! Firo won’t lose to Gaelion!”
Fitoria steps forward to rival him.
Firo is with her.
And they both rip out one of their Ahoges, and hand them to me.
『Gu… then I cannot back down here.』
The Dragon Emperor who had his fill of the core stones of others, threw up a large one.
Its color is a clear red, the likes of which I’ve never seen in his cores before. Its coloring was as if it were imbued with flames; a glowing gem.
It’s like a crystallization of the Dragon Emperor.
“Rafu~!”
Raph-chan also steps forward, and and casts magic on the armor.
Oh, his is also amazing.
How am I supposed to use these feathers?
For now, I’ll just keep them in the armor. When I tried to do that, the feathers glowed, and were absorbed into it.
And on its back, something appeared. Holes just right for wings, or something similar to fit through.
And when I put Gaelion’s core in, the armor shined even further, and started to change.
Barbarian Armor EX
Destruction Impossible, Defense Up, Impact Resist (Large), Beheading Resist (Large), Flame Resist (Extra Large), Electric Resist (Extra Large), Absorb Resist (Very Large), HP Recovery (Strong), Magic Recovery (Strong), SP Recovery (Strong)
Magic Elevation (Large), Blessing of the Dragon Emperor, Magic to Defense Conversion, Autonomous Repair, Blessing of the Earth’s Pulse, Blessing of Life, Dragon Attribute, Dragon Territory
Growing Power, Blessing of the Divine Bird, Familiar Abilities Doubled, Blessing of the Divine Beast, One who Controls Monsters, Magic Cruising
Blessing of the Four Spirits, Blessing of the Spirits, Prayers of the people, A Link to the Spirits.
It had a wide succession of abilities.
I don’t have the time to check all of them, but what is Magic Cruising?




And I felt magic passing through the holes in the back.
Let’s try directing some more there..
Fwish. From the holes on my back, wings of magic started to take form.
Their colors were sky blue, and the color of Sakura Petals.
(TL: If you don’t remember, that’s Fitoria’s color, and Firo’s original coloring)
“Uwah…”
Everyone around me falls silent.
That was to be expected.
And just how did they go about making this.
Flying through the sky isn’t impossible for me, but with this, it becomes a lot easier.
I stop sending magic through it, and land.

And wait… I noticed it after putting it on, but this armor… perhaps It’s linked to my Shield, but my defense was amplified by quite a large amount.
The Defense listed in my Status Magic became something quite amazing.
Of course, the parts that make me a god are separate from what I have as Status Magic in this world.



But Trash deployed his magic corps all over the place, and while divided, they still managed to complete the preparations for it. I’d call it a drastic move.
I can understand things like this due to my new sensitivity to magic.



I shorten the incantation as much as possible, to make it faster than a single breath. And I use the strongest support magic I can outside of the scope of her suspecting anything.
「All Revelation Aura EX」!
The magic is transmitted to the soldiers through the Defense Link.
For all my allies on the battlefield, support magic activates.


Against the endlessly raining nullification magic, I chant a single skill.
「De Dispel Parry」!
… The skill redirected the attack meant to nullify our supports.
Originally, Dispel Parry was a skill to protect individual units, but I tweaked a bit.



Ren and the others run past me.
The effects of Defense Link don’t cut off.
While it originally had an effect time, I can make that optional and control it.
In all honesty, I can probably keep it active eternally.
Just like yesterday, even when they’re attacked with killing blows, they take absolutely no damage.



“Atlas!” (Naofumi)
“Yes!” (Atlas)
From the Shield, Atlas answers to my voice.
She touches the Katana, and I match my consciousness with the Spirit’s.
『Ple… he… lp… me…』
Having been bound by a strange power, it was being made use of forcibly. I hear the voice of the otherworldly spirit.
Yeah, I’ll help you right away.
Originally, the Spirits that dwell in the weapons are the manifestation of the will to protect the world. In order to protect their own worlds, they oppose the spirits of others.
But right now, the worlds have become one.
Even if they’re from another world, we’re not enemies for them to oppose.
And the foundations of these vassal weapons, the four holy weapons of that world have mostly been lost already.
No… perhaps they’re out there somewhere, and are merely sealed.
I use this vassal as an intermediary to link to them.
… It seems that the four legendary spirits were able to escape their control.
But they no longer have the power left to fight.
“You hate being controlled regardless of your own will, right? I’ll definitely let you free.” (Naofumi)
I… gently talk to the Spirit.
“Sacred Weapon Spirits of another world… please listen to my words. And please lend us your power.” (Atlas)
The Spirit of the Shield and Atlas try to call out to them.
Through me, I restore some power to them, and they answer.
Right now, I was able to link to all the Spirits fighting on this battlefield.
[…]
I proclaimed, after finishing the negotiations with the enemy’s vassal weapon.
Honestly, I didn’t think I would succeed.
But… it seems I’ll be able to manage with just the power of the spirits.
It seems the Bitch Goddess didn’t really care too much about it.
Countermeasures… it’s not like I didn’t have any, but from what I can see, I don’t think the Bitch Goddess ever thought they would be released, so she was too soft.
“… In place of the Spirits who’re supposed to lead you, The Hero of the Shield and his spirits shalt command. Lend us power. Vassals, break off these foolish restraints, and lend your powers to us!”
As I called out, the Katana, Instrument, Harpoon, Scythe, and ship changed to balls of light, and separated from their wielders. Other balls also came from them.
“Wha—”
And just as they began to let out voices of surprise, the vassals began flying towards our army.
Right… That was Atlas’s proposal. I wanted to test whether or not I could indirectly cut their forces.
I activated the Spirits, and released them from the Goddess’s curses. I stole their weapons.


Ah, by the way, the vassals I released this time have all been converted through my Shield.
Right now, the Heroes they select to wield them should have a list of easy ways to use them floating in their field of vision.


It seems Marin’s book was something like Trash’s Cane, And she started chanting Group Covenant magic alone.
Trash matches her… wait, so both of them can do that.
「High Class Group Covenant Magic 『Judgement』 X, Ten」!
Lightning surged around the area, and a enemies in a radius of thirty meters were blown away.



「Perfect Slave」
Starting with me, she used a power that selected Heroes at random, and stole their weapons and spirits while killing their owners. A Conceptual attack.
If they took it upfront, no matter who they were, they would have died.
It’s like running an electric current through a cable to her, a simple way to kill them.
There’s no helping it… Even if she runs away, after we save this world, we’ll just chase her down.
To the ends of hell!
『I, the proxy of the world, who has understood the embodiment of power command. Bend the truth, and become a, indomitable power so none shall lose』!
「Immortal Mind」!
I erase the conceptual attack the Goddess sent out, and grant the spirits the energy of the world.
Based on this, they shouldn’t be able to be coerced by anyone. They can’t be bound.


“Ku…「Infinity Destroyer」!” (Medea)
Bitch Goddess uses the instant death attack she used on me before.
Because she wasn’t having fun, she used quite a bit of power.
But she still isn’t serious, I see.
I need to get this Bitch Goddess serious or else.
“… Is that all you got?” (Naofumi)
I just took the attack with my Shield.
The concept of death tries to encroach on me, but I repel it.


But there… I felt the flow of time being ripped apart as a presence approached.
“… Unfortunately, your plans end here.”
Before the Bitch could do anything, a thundering roar so loud that it was as if the entire world was creaking sounded out.
A dust cloud covered the entire front lines.
“You’re late, aren’t you?” (Naofumi)
Someone blew the cloud away with Wind Magic.
And in the center of it, was Raphtalia holding her Hammer.


I confirm Rishia with my power again.
The explosions from behind me haven’t been stopping for a while.
(So yes he can see distant places bla bla bla bla)



As the Bitch Goddess declared that, Lightning rained down on the Reincarnator, and his comrades. It rained down all over the battlefield.
(from the goddess)



The Damn Goddess’s sword shines.
“Infinity Catastrophe!” (Goddess)
It’s a certain kill attack targeting all the possessors of the Sacred and Vassal weapons, huh.
At the same time, it absorbs the world’s magic and builds up power.
I, in a shorter time than the instant in which she fired her attack….. I cast magic in the time-span of practically zero seconds.
『Oh Spirits. Oh World. The proxy of the world commands, and asks for power. Eternity, Unconditionality, Infinity, hinder the hopeless future due to that indefinite power, manifest the identity of that selfish power, and fire the lynchpin to save this world!』
“Infinity Zero!”
The sacred weapons of the world….. Mine, Motoyasu’s, Ren’s and Itsuki’s weapons shine and surround the vicinity.
The power to protect the world― Intent, Desire, Spirit.
Those were materialised and converted the attack on the verge of destroying everything.
“T-this is….” (Ren)
“I wonder what it is, my spear is shining.” (Motoyasu)
“I feel an amazing power.” (Itsuki)
“What―!” (Goddess)
The sound of a large impact reverberated, the instant death attack that the Damn Witch tried to invoke, and the power of world decay, was curbed.

The source of Raphtalia and my power was the world’s magic and life force, just like the Damn Goddess.
However, the way we replenish that power is completely different.
Unless we receive the power from the world’s volition, we can’t replenish it.
We’ve made it so that it’s impossible for us to steal the world’s power from its roots and consume it.
And.… at the same time, we have the power so she can’t snatch away the world.
Now…. A total of five lynchpins have been launched to prevent the Damn Goddess from using her power to steal this world.
Already, this world had multiple strong, gigantic barriers spread around it.
To the inhabitants of this world, they became defensive walls protecting them from foreign enemies, and to the Damn Goddess, they became a prison preventing her from escaping.


“Now, it’s time for some arithmetic. Don’t think such unreliable kid’s logic like infinity, eternity and immortality will pass by us!” (Naofumi)
Right now, a room that negates Godly powers has been created.
With us inside, the Damn Goddess has had her divine powers sealed and have been bound with the reason of this world now.
In other words….. Lv and HP and Magic and such float into her field of vision, and when those numbers become Zero, she will die.
Naturally the numbers ticking away will probably be enormous but they’re not perpetual, nor infinite, nor immortal.


The Damn Goddess had on a furious facial expression and chanted a spell.
It’s magic with another world’s logic.
The absorbed magic inside her body is kneaded together and fired towards us.
“Defence Link! Meteor Wall!” (Naofumi)
My defensive skills obstruct her magic completely.



The Damn Goddess uses one hand to slash at Raphtalia in anger.
Even if she’s rotten, she’s the being called ‘God’ who split her soul into various worlds so she probably has some sword skills.
“My sword has infinite speed and is the infinite ultimate strongest sword technique! You shouldn’t be able to see through it!” (Goddess)
How do you infinitely double infinity?
The word infinity isn’t a number.
Well, she probably wants to express that it’s that fast but….
The Damn Goddess’s sword reaches Raphtalia.
Yeah.
Fast, it’s certainly fast…. However―
“Infinite speed? Infinity shouldn’t have a limit though? The unit you should be using in this situation is this. Approaching zero without end…. No, something like speed is unnecessary― a Zero-second attack….” (Raphtalia)
Raphtalia’s movements blur and she passed behind the Damn Goddess.
Immediately afterwards, she uses a single strike and a loud sound reverberates.
“Wha-!? She transcended infinity with her own speed and I, the ultimate supreme being who even surpasses time was―” (Goddess)
“You just returned to the past? Is it time leaping? In that case, I’ll also attack there!” (Raphtalia)
Zero-second attack.
Something similar would be Firo’s High Quick, huh.
It’ll probably be easiest to understand if I said it was close to that.
High Quick is a magic that raises one’s own speed to its utmost limits temporarily.
However, Raphtalia’s Zero-second attack has no need for speed.
Zero seconds… it’s an attack that disregards the flow of time.
No matter how fast one can go, the attack can’t be overtaken by a being who’s just fast.
Even the sound of this one shot, this sound contains the continuous attacks of tens, hundreds, thousands of strikes all within zero seconds.
Receiving such an attack, the Damn Goddess faints in agony.


Her method was similar to this, but the invader known as God has made her stats omnipotent, her infinite and eternal power reaching an unattainable domain.
Of course, she wasn’t able to attack, and it’s not like she had the ability to kill us in one shot.


Raphtalia is keeping the Bitch Goddess occupied as she takes her blows.
And all of that damage is sent to me.
We were fighting on the premise that I was going to take them in the first place.
Or else Defense 0 Raphtalia wouldn’t have a chance of fighting her.


We’re fighting the Bitch Goddess seriously, so those guys can’t keep up with the speed at all.
It’s like the world is moving at an unbelievably slow rate.
There’s no helping it.
I use my power again, and chant magic on them.
『Oh Spirits. Oh World. The Proxy of this world orders, and requests for power. Grant unto them the power to fight』!
「All Revelation Aura Zenith」!
I raised it to its utmost limits. The strongest ability raising power is channeled through magic, and manifests.
“Eh… ah.”
As if they had been released from petrification, Ren and the others begin to move.
“This is…”
“To put it bluntly, it’s just an accelerated world. I let you guys match that Bitch Goddess’s speed. I’d like you guys to fight, and clear the resentment you held to this day.” (Naofumi)



The first one to nod and start attacking the Bitch Goddess was Motoyasu.
The Spear understands the situation, and through the Spirits’ power, it changed to the Spear of X0.
Ah, I see… If it does that, they don’t have to keep spamming the X0 skills. If they used another skill, it would still damage that bitch.
「Gungnir Max」!
Motoyasu chucks a spear made out of energy.
But… The spear has a lot of throwing skills. Brionac was, similarly, a skill that shot a Spear of light, right?
Max is the limit of skill enhancement. There are other names, but if you proceed any further, you get things like Unlimited and Infinite; the units of measure start getting crazy.



Fohl approaches the Bitch Goddess, and unleashes a skill.
「Divine Demon Annihilating Blow Max」!
His entire body is tinted red, and all of his magic and Chi flow into his fists. With those fists, he struck the Goddess.
His blow landed in her abdomen, and the shockwave made it through her body, out her back.
“Don’t underestimate meeeee!” (Medea)
If you think about it, it’s obvious.
If there are things among the X0 Series that don’t do enough damage, it’s more efficient to just use another skill, and now, there’s no one here but her.
What a miscalculation.
Well, she didn’t use those strange abilities the Reincarnators had developed a dependence on, and right now, we’ve been able to nullify her warped support magic, so we’re only fighting by the laws of this world.
No matter how high her level is, or how abundant her battle experience, we’re pretty much the same. What’s more, since the Legendary weapons are on our side, the reincarnators and their followers are little more than extra luggage for her.





“Yeah, then I’ll be going ahead! 「Variable Messiah Max」!”
Changing to the Sword of X0, Ren lowered a blade of light on the Bitch Goddess.
While her movements were fast, by the power of my support magic, and the barrier I used to seal her power, it’s not within a range where he’ll miss.
There’s also the saying battle experience speaks in actions, not words.
“Ku… die!” (Medea)
The Goddess brandishes her own sword at Ren.
“Your swordsmanship is way too friggin’ shabby!” (Ren)
Ren dodges the line drawn by her blade by a gap so small it made one doubt whether or not it had touched his skin. He stepped right in front of her.
「Meteor Sword Max」!
Just like that, he fires a point blank Meteor Sword, and all of the projectiles shot from it pierce her.
“GYAAAAAH!”
That really was an un-feminine cry.
But it’s a scream quite suiting for her.
I get the feeling Witch had similar death throes.
「Artemis Max」!
To support Ren, Itsuki pulled his bow back, and fired a skill from his Bow of X0.
A single arrow drew a beautiful curve in the ai before plunging itself into her chest.
The next moment, a large explosion surrounded her.
Oh… how flashy.



Even after taking all their attacks, she isn’t damaged enough to make it impossible for her to continue fighting.
No, perhaps it’s better to say that she’s recovering her wounds the moment after they’re inflicted.
I feel my power as a god slowly declining.




That Bitch Goddess is preparing to use Space Teleportation abilities.
But the wall that covers the world and the Legendary Weapons act as the lynchpin that binds her down. They don’t let anyone get past them.



Before I could signal her to move, Raphtalia jumped into action.
「Gravity Hammer」!
A large gravity-magic-imbued hammer comes down on the Goddess from above.
The direct damage it inflicted wasn’t great, but it restricted her movement to as great an extent as possible.
“Gununu…”
Crushed by Raphtalia’s binding skill, the goddess is smashed into the floor.



Trash directs strong words of rejection to The Bitch Goddess, who had changed her face to reflect Witch’s.




The Bitch Goddess saves up power.
Originally, if she was at her full powered state, I don’t think it would take any time for her to activate an attack.




“Ku… How utterly annoying! I’ll blow away this petty power that binds me all at once!” (Medea)
She points her sword downwards, and uses power to try and purify my defensive membrans.






『Oh Spirits. Oh World. The Proxy of this world orders, and requests for power. I wish for a world without gods, and for that I exercise your power. Pillars that bind the world, power unto me』!
In Raphtalia’s hand, a stake made out of light appears, and she uses her hammer to drive it in.
“Single Shot special! 「Infinity Bunker」!”
A heavy impact occurs, as Raphtalia’s stake bores into the Bitch Goddess.
At the same time, a bright flash of light was sent out.
“GUAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
The light gets visibly stronger, and I can feel it through my skin that the Bitch Goddess’s power is dispersing.
With this… It would be nice if she were to die.
Raphtalia finishes her attack, and lands back by my side.
“Fu… fufu… for small fries, you did well coming this far.” (Medea)
… What a tough one she is.
“I’m just about sick of seeing all of your faces. Now let me brush away all your makeshift powers, and watch you as you wallow in regret, having even your souls burned away!” (Medea)
I feel the lynchpins I called down get pulled out, and the Goddess raises her speed even further.
The only ones who can keep up with her speed are Me, Raphtalia and Atlas.





“100% Deadly Aim, 100% Death, 『Infinity Destroyer』. All that awaits you all is death. The past, present, future, parallel worlds, divergent worlds, the law of cause and effect. Not a single thing in the world will be able to stop it; you will merely perish! Infinity, eternity, speed of light won’t be enough. Now go die already!”
I perceive her targets. It’s everybody here, and every chain binding her to this world.
And… the Laws of this world that preside over them.
She has enough power output to reduce them all to nothingness.
It’s completely different than any attack she’s displayed before.
It’s a single blow that will use up all of her being.
It’s power deserving of the title of God.
This absolute power even transcends time, and after she repeatedly condenses it, she releases it.
I couldn’t even see it before, but now I can follow it.
Red, and black.
Threads… each and every one links to death. They’re imbued with a concept to bring an end to all possibilities.
And those threads, just how many hundreds, thousands, millions… She has an amount there beyond my counting prowess.
The past, present, future, parallel worlds, divergent worlds, the law of cause and effects, an attack to rob all of those away from me.
That attack…
“… I was waiting for it!” (Lord Geno… I mean Naofumi)
I… deploy my powers as a God, and from the Bitch Goddess’s conceptual attack, I protect everyone. I take it all into myself.
The threads of death entangle around me, and send me through all time, all worlds, all possibilities…
“Aha, ahahahaha. Who are you trying to protect? With this, you’re dead. And with the next shot, it’ll be my win.” (Medea)
“Sorry, there won’t be a next one.”
The Shield absorbs all of the Bitch Goddesses Infinity destroyer, or whatever she called it, and absorbed it into a single point.
“I’ve had enough of your childish exchange. As a God Killer, I’ll show you the greatest of counterattacks.” (Naofumi)
This attack doesn’t have a name.
But… In order to wait for her to use her skill, I had Raphtalia and the others work together.
There’s wars of attrition, even in a battle between Gods.
But if two beings who won’t die combat each other, then when will they reach an agreement… or when will they find an end?
Yes, in the end, one side is the loser.
To childish logic like that… I reached a single conclusion.
“Atlas.” (Naofumi)
“Yes, Naofumi-sama.” (Atlas)
“Raphtalia.” (Naofumi)
“Yes, with this, it’s over.” (Raphtalia)
I nodded.
An end will come to everything
「– Positive Feedback Reflection」!
I changed the nature of the interweaving threads of death.
The red and the black change to green and white.
And I redirect them in the direction of the single person trying to destroy everything.
The altered power is amplified several times, and sent right back.
“You just sent back my Infinity Destroyer as is? How unfortunate. There’s no way the attack I used myself would have any effect on myself!” (Medea)
“Were you not listening? I’m sure I included a positive feedback in there. I amplified your power, and sent it back.” (Naofumi)
“Gu…” (Medea)
The conceptual attack flies towards her.
Ironically, it’s the same scene as when I hit back Witch’s magic on Cal Mira.
While the firepower is completely different this time, the essence is the same.
In the end, the trivial battles between me and this woman are something like this.
“This cannot be! But with an attack of this level, I won’t even get a scratch, and I can dodge.” (Witch)
“Hey, are you getting forgetful about your own attacks? Your attack was 100% Deadly Aim, 100% Death. Past, present, future, parallel worlds, divergent worlds, the law of cause and effect. Not a single thing in the world will be able to stop it; you will merely perish! Infinity, eternity, speed of light won’t be enough, wasn’t it?” (Naofumi)
“Hmph. I have the ability to avoid such an attack, so there’s no way it–” (Medea)
“Then try it. I don’t plan to join you in your childish dialogue.” (Naofumi)
“Even if you defeat me, the true incarnation of me is still in the outside world, so–” (Medea)
“Forgetting things again? Parallel worlds, divergent worlds, the law of cause and effect. Not a single thing in the world will be able to stop it, you said. All fragments and the main body will be killed at once, of course. The attack you launched against everything… wasn’t it supposed to invite absolute death?” (Naofumi)
“Something like that won’t work on–” (Medea)
“100% Deadly Aim, 100% Death, right? What’s more, I added on Positive feedback. It’s your attack, and not mine. If you can dodge it, then show me the results. Well, that only goes if you survive it.” (Naofumi)






Eventually, the Bitch Goddess started a battle with her own power… I wonder just how fast time has been sped up.
And… It was the attack she had made herself, and from my amplification, it should usher in death. In all times. In Parallel, and divergent worlds. Even the law of Cause and Effect won’t be able to effect it, and all that was left for her was to perish.



We exchanged such idle banter, as we stop the accelerated state, and return time to original rate of the people here.





While she was supposed to be erased from the Laws of the World, the power she left behind made her remain in everyone’s memories.
The Lynchpin had worked from the start, and most of it still remained.
Or else perhaps my own existence would vanish.
Along with the worlds’ legend of the four heroes.




I deployed a barrier around the world, so gods of the same type as that Bitch couldn’t come closer anymore.
The waves won’t come again due to someone taking up the position of God.




“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit tired…” (Naofumi)
Mostly mentally, though.
Because of the various powers circulating through my body, I think I would be able to go a few centuries without sleep.
It’s not like my mind really needs to rest either. I just want some peace and quiet.



“If it’s about that, it’s not like I can’t do anything.” (Naofumi)
“Do you have something special planned?” (Glass)
“There’s a way to separate the worlds sticking together. As long as the worlds remain divided, you won’t have to deal with unnecessary clashes, right?” (Naofumi)
“Is that… what you called the power of God?” (Glass)
“Yeah, I can’t do it, but Raphtalia is able to. Though your sacred weapons will have to be enshrined away somewhere.” (Naofumi)
If they do that, a god wouldn’t be able to get in. He wouldn’t have the chance to.
Well, I have a barrier over this world, I’ll erect one over the divided world as well. I’m sure that they’ll be able to form a peaceful place there.




With the world in a pinch, there was a missing person…
Glass is also something for waiting for her.
I’ll try searching with God’s power.
I found a strange point in Glass’s past, and couldn’t find that friend of hers in her memory.
Was she an otherworlder?
I don’t think she’s dead, but It’ll be difficult to find her even for me.
IF I exerted myself, it would be possible, but with Glass herself like this…


After defeating the Bitch Goddess, when the Spirits pressed me for an answer, I chose everything.
Something close to the Bitch’s fragments. I divided parts of me between this world and the modern one. Raphtalia, Atlas, and I, who would be able to use our godly powers to protect the world, went on a journey following the Spirits’ words.


In all the worlds I resolved matters in, I erected a barrier so no god could descend again.




I think that bird has lived long enough, but she has eternal youth.
I guess Firo drank that medicine too.




I can make a fragment for a change of pace if I want.
I can just have him enjoy this world in my place.
Right now, we carry the duty of quelling the waves caused by those proclaiming to be gods. We’re more like concepts than anything else.
So, we can’t stop moving forward… I see.



I guess I should rest in moderation.
In the worst case scenario, I can do a time warp and meet the people of this world: Melty, Sadina, Kiel, Fohl.
It’s not like I’ve left for eternity.



I can’t meet them at this moment, but it’s not like we’ll never meet again.
But those that claim to be god can even erase the past.
