- Chapter 72
- Wrath Shield
- “Meteor Sword!”
- “Meteor Bow!”
- Ren and Itsuki’s prided Meteor Series attacks are fired at the pope, but the pope is covered by another barrier, keeping a cool face while wielding the replica spear.
- Ren and Itsuki’s companions also use their skills and magic, however the barrier is deployed again so nothing comes close to harming the pope.
- “As expected of imposters, you only have this degree of strength.”
- “Damn……”
- “This is harsh. To think he would have such a hidden-card to play.”
- “What did you guys even come for?!”
- Even with these guys our chance of success is still almost nil.
- “Do you guys even have any plan in mind?’
- “Just how much long do you plan on making fun of us?”
- Ren and Itsuki’s weapons start to glow, but this time they charge up their energy before attacking.
- “Thunder Slash!”
- “Thunder Shot!”
- The pope looks startled and his eyes open wide as he receives the attack, his barrier creaking.
- “It’s too late! I’ve already bought enough time!”
- The barrier was destroyed due to my Self-Burning Curse last time, and Motoyasu and the rotten heroes were also able to break through it this time.
- “I could still fight…… But I’m out of SP.”
- “That’s just the whining of a loser.”
- I haven’t helped them so far because I did not expect them have such strong skills.
- Is it too late to jump in? Have I been too cautious?
- “Fufufu…… foolish heroes. Did you truly think you could beat me, the wielder of the legendary weapon?”
- The believers immediately use recovery magic on the Pope to heal him.
- This is troubling. The attack that took so much effort to land was healed in one go.
- “If the others help suppress you, I’ll defeat you. It is my duty as a hero.”
- “Everyone. The aria of judgement will now commence.”
- The pope’s believers nod and begin to recite magic.
- “All of the imposters and their companions are evil.”
- Wow. Quite fanatic.
- I’m not sure we can win this fight even if the reinforcements that Ren and Itsuki called show up.
- “Now then, shall we finish this?”
- The pope is going to seriously kill us. Brionac has been ready for a while and now he charges at us.
- “Naofumi”
- “What?”
- Ren approaches me and asks.
- “Let’s combine our power and beat this guy.”
- “Honestly, co-operating with you guys is far too unpleasant.”
- It’s impossible to successfully escape.
- Furthermore, if they use the spell, “Judgement,” again, I don’t think that I can endure it.
- “Someone must attack me with hostility, and then I must get in close proximity of the pope. After that, get away from me - my attack will affect anyone in range.”
- The only effective weapon I have is Self-Burning Curse. If it comes to close range I should somehow manage.
- “I understand.”
- “Then, what are you waiting for!?”
- I cast support magic on everyone and issue instructions, preparing myself to protect those who will attack with close combat from both physical and magical damage.
- The heroes attack, supported by magic, their defence buffed, in an unexpectedly organized formation.
- “Let’s go!”
- We rush towards the pope first.
- The pope is ignoring us and concentrating on his skill.
- The only way for me to deal a decisive blow is to receive a hit myself.
- Since I regularly develop my defence, this skill requires a lot of damage to activate.
- “Naofumi!”
- Motoyasu’s spear hits my shield, activating Self-Burning Curse.
- “Uoooooooooooooooooo!”
- The believers not singing the Aria of Judgement try to purify the flames, but of the barrier shatters anyway.
- Immediately I cast Air Strike Shield and Change Shield, then use Hook to withdraw behind the other heroes. Hook’s special effect lets me manipulate it however I want, so I tie it around my arm and use it as an anchor.
- “Thunder Slash!”
- “Lightening Spear!”
- “Thunder Shot!”
- The other heroes use their strongest skills against the pope.
- “Brionac!”
- However, the pope counters with his skill!
- The Pope’s skill and the heroes skills clash against each other, and the two side’s conflicting energies fill the air with the electric crackling.
- “Goooooooooooooo!”
- “Yooooooooooooou!”
- “Deryaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
- I am reminded of an old anime where two beams collide and fight for superiority in both offence and defense.
- (Tl note: KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAA)(Ed note: AVADAAA KEDAVRAAAAAAAA)
- The heroes’ companions are also support them with magic, pushing the pope back little by little.
- Or so I thought……
- “Fufu……Is that it?”
- The pope’s smile remains undiminished.
- No way! He was holding back!?
- “No…… Not yet! I will not be defeated yet!”
- “That’s right! We can still fight!”
- “Yeah, let’s raise the output!”
- The three of them use all their SP on their skills.
- Though it’s just a little I’ll try to help too.
- But… I cannot rid myself of the ominous feeling that something is wrong.
- “Now then, shall we end this soon?” The pope murmurs indifferently, increasing his power.
- Shit! If we die here it would be troublesome!
- I mean, I wanted this the other’s to die, but the timing right now is terrible……
- I push away the Heroes to stop their skills and step forward.
- I almost can’t withstand the pain as energy passes through my body, but I hold out my shield and endure it desperately.
- After what seems an age, the energy dissipates.
- “Haa….. haa……”
- “Interesting…… I did not expect the Devil of the Shield to be able to withstand that.” The pope declares quietly, swinging the spear around.
- “A-Are you okay?”
- I look back, but all I can see is a blur.
- Everything except for a small area behind me was completely destroyed.
- Fortunately, I did not receive too much damage, thanks to those supporting me from behind.
- “”Tzuvait ・Heal!””
- My wounds were immediately healed thanks to the recovery magic.
- If the other three heroes hadn't reduced that attack’s power with their skills, I would have died.
- “Damn……Our SP……”
- “Me too.”
- “Same here.”
- I give the three of them SP recovery potions.
- We probably won’t have enough time to completely recover though.
- I suddenly hear a loud war cry. It seems the reinforcements that Ren called have arrived.
- “Now then, I have had enough of this farce with the devil. I shall dispose of all of you and summon the true heroes. But first, why don’t I keep those people occupied for now.”
- The pope changes the spear into a sword and takes up a stance.
- The sword blade’s shape takes on the semblance of a phoenix.
- Perhaps this skill is even more superior to Brionac.
- Dangerous…… those guys from the punitive force have no idea that the Pope has something like this up his sleeve.
- There is the possibility they will all be wiped out at once.
- “Everyone, Let’s provide judgment together.”
- He intends to attack together with his subordinates. Although only a bit, we have gained some time.
- “So we could only come this far……”
- The other heroes are all pale.
- No matter how reckless we act, our chances of success are low……
- No, wasn't it also like this against Motoyasu? Can I say that I did my best?
- Did I do my best…?
- Suddenly, it comes to me.
- It’s a desperate gamble, but we’re dead anyway. We might as well give it all we have.
- “Ren, come here for a moment.”
- “What’s up? Do you have a plan?”
- After I tell Ren to approach, he does so suspiciously.
- Dokun, Dokun. (Sfx: Pulsing)
- The shield’s pulsing strengthens, and it begins to vibrate.
- I was intentionally sealing off the dragon core’s rage towards Ren up until now.
- The memory is being projected in my vision again, and the shield wants to slaughter the enemy before me.
- That’s right….. More… Give me more anger!
- Thanks to Raphtalia, I can control the massive amount of rage pouring from the Shield of Anger.
- “Raphtalia, your hand……”
- “Okay”
- I join hands with Raphtalia and point my shield at Ren.
- I look at Motoyasu and the Bitch to remind myself of the anger that I wanted to avoid.
- All the hatred, and everything else is forgotten, all that is left pitch-blackness and anger.
- Grow Up has been achieved due to released emotions.
- Curse Series: Ability improvement of the Shield of Anger! Shield of Anger changed to Wrath Shield!
- Wrath Shield 3
- Ability Unsealed….. Equipment Bonus: Skill [Change Shield (Attack)] [Iron Maiden] [Blutopfer]
- (Tl note: Blutopfer means Blood Sacrifice in German.)
- Special Effect: Dark Curse Burning Physical, Strength Up, Roar of the angry Dragon, Roar, Frenzy of Companions, Magic Sharing, Clothes of Anger (Intermediate)
- Instantly my heart is consumed by dark emotions.
- “——————–!”
