Chapter 176.1 - Shaman vs Pyromancer 1
Rem, let's beat him up!
Come at me I'm ready!
All Rems charged towards Ooyama at once.
And the one in the lead was the strongest amongst them, my prided Rem-Dark Knight. Running beside her was Rem The 3rd-Alfa.
Rem The 2nd-Arachne was standing by my side as she fired her spiderwebs at Ooyama solid vanguard and rear guard to disturb the other party's movement. It was simple, but in front of such a perfectly coordinated attack, Ooyama was,
UWOOOOOOOO I'M ALL FIRE D UP, MUSCLE HEAT!
Ooyama's body was wrapped in a pale, red aura, and he sent forth punches that were too fast for my eyes to follow.
BLAST, KNUCKLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
He unleashed a straight punch, the one he called Blast Knuckle, collided with Rem-Dark Knight's greatsword which came down from outside of his punching range.
Attempting to clash blades with bare hands was insane. But then, there was an explosion when Ooyama's blazing red fist collided with the blade.
GUGAA!
The explosive punch of the blazing fist repelled Dark Knight's greatsword.
The power of the explosion seemed to be quite strong since it even managed to destroy Rem-Dark Knight's stance. And then, seemingly unwilling to let go of that chance, Ooyama closed in the distance and unleashed another punch toward Dark Knight's breastplate.
SEYAAAAAAA!
The second Blast Knuckle managed to send Rem-Dark Knight flying.
That moment Alfa used that chance to swing her strongest weapon, the sawblade tail yet, Ooyama had already begun moving away from that position.
SHAAAAAAAAA!
He unleashed a roundhouse kick toward Alfa, repelling her tail, and spun once again in mid-air before he unleashed another kick a kick that sent Alfa, whose size rivaled that of a horse, flying.
What the heck! His speed and power, which gave Dark Knight and Alfa a run for the money, was completely outside of my expectation.
The only advantage I had left was the spiderwebs to seal his movement, but
These annoying webs! BURNING POWER(FIERY PASSION)!!
The spiderwebs that Arachne and I had fired at him had been erased, burned to dust by the flame that was erupting from his body.
He can also wrap his entire body with flame, huh. That alone was enough to render spiderwebs and black hair, which originally were weak to fire, useless. They got burned to ashes just by approaching him.
But perhaps its true value wasn't just in wrapping the user's body in flames but in boosting the user's physical abilities as well.
Furthermore, he used a power-up sorcery called Muscle Heat at the beginning, which clearly increased his physical strength. Both effects seemed to be overlapping. Dammit, there's a game-like overlap buff system in this world, huh.
Though both sorceries might actually reinforce his overall physical strength, I've been wondering just how much those two combined sorceries enhance his physical strength
He~, I'm not done YETFORCE BOOST(Physical Strength Reinforcement)!
ANO-ANOTHER BUFF!?
ARE YOU FU*KING KIDDING ME!? HE HAD ANOTHER BOOST!!!
Ooyama's arms were clad in pale red light due to Muscle Heat, his body was clad in flame due to Burning Power, and there was still the shining red light due to the effect of Force Boost.
Ooyama's red hands, which had obviously become a killing weapon at a glance, casually blew back Rem-Dark Knight, who was attempting to stand back.
THE HECK, ARE YER INSIDE EMPTY!!? IT'S FU*CKING TOO LIGHT! ORAORAORAORA!
I mean, he grabbed Dark Knight's helm with his right hand and threw her off like a tin can. Dark Knight, who had been thrown so easily that he looked like a badly treated doll, collided with Alfa, who was about to backstab Ooyama.
Humph, too weak, Momokawa.
The burning red Ooyama was barking at me after seeing Dark Knight tumbling along with Alfa like a bowling ball crashing on the pins.
Dammit, to think that he has so many buff-type sorceries.
I cursed in a low voice. I had completely misjudged Ooyama's strength. I thought that his physical strength was lower than Suginos whose vocation was Heavy Warrior and yet his offensive power turned out to be off the chart.
His power with triple reinforcement might have surpassed Mei-chan, the Berserker.
I mean, a sorcerer who was piling up buff upon buff on himself was actually way more powerful than the fighter, what kind of shi*ty game was this?
And just as expected, not even Rem-Dark Knight could beat someone with that cheat-like skill.
Since my vanguard got destroyed in an instant, Arachne Rem who stayed by my side came forward.
So the only one left is that weak-looking spider.
Take a closer look, dammit, there are bulges on her che*st, Arachne is clearly a girl Go, High Zombie!
I summoned seven High Zombie to act as a meat wall and ordered them to charge at Ooyama.
UOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The seven high zombies were rushing towards Ooyama who was standing calmly in his place as they raised their usual loud warcries. If this was the scene in those zombie movies, Ooyama would die for sure, but the zombies were, unfortunately, just small fries in this dungeon.
Momokawa, how dare you send these small fries even after knowing how powerful I am? DONT. UNDERESTIMATE. MEBLAST KNUCKLE!
He punched the ground beneath his feet with his burning fist. The high zombies were then blasted into the air with a "BOOM.
Maybe an indirect explosion was enough to take care of the high zombies, AKA small fries. Incapacitating small fries in one punch, that exploding punch sure was convenient.
Thus, the high zombies got insta-killed without even managing to as much as scratch Ooyama's skin, but they had bought enough time for me. I unloaded Summoner's Skull and loaded Shaman's Skull into my cane.
HOW ABOUT THISPOISON!
At this range, Ooyama wouldn't be able to dodge this no matter how powerful he became. This was my current, most powerful spell. TAKE THIS, HINAGIKU-STYLE, INVISIBLE CURSE!
What did you do just now? Something smells fishy.
Cr*p, not even Poison was working on him.
Did he have some sort of resistance?
Ah yeah, you're a Shaman, eh? Too bad, this flame is also protecting me from magic. Yer weak attack will never reach me.
As expected, the fire wrapped on Ooyama's body was also acting as magic defense and gave him abnormal status resistance.
I mean, it obviously set his entire body "ON FIRE" and yet, neither his trousers nor red tanktop got burned by the fire. His body aside, I guess that flame really did act like some sort of barrier that would protect his clothes too.
Come to think of it, Souma Sakura had the all-purpose, Oracle Barrier too. I guess you could say that every element had its own barrier.
The reason he revealed that information showed just how much confidence he had in himself. He might try to make me surrender by the sheer gap of power between us.
Since that's the case, you should try to hit me. Lets see if that weak flame of yours can protect you from my Pain Return.
Your provocation ain't gonna work on me, Momokawa. Taka has given me a strict warning about that ability.
Tch, just like how I never let my guard down against them, the same went for them. Pain Return could only be used once as a threat when I encountered them with Yamajun and the others. Being a smarta*s, Sugino would definitely think of a measure to counter this ability of mine in case we fought each other again.
Fortunately, we're right in this place, a place devoid of traps and any sacrificial pawns to be used to kill me. It appeared that the boss room had some kind of method to keep the monster from outside from entering.
I see, so are we going to just stand here and wait until Mei-chan kick Sugino's ass?
That you, who is reliant on women, are saying that makes me want to puke.
Hey, are you trying to say that gender equality is wrong? You should be careful what you say because you're also implying that fu*king homo like you are the trash of humanity.
How dare you
Whoops, you better not punch me to death. I don't want to die with a fu*king homo like you, after all, Id rather die with a busty babe like Mei-chan.
Tch, Momokawa, I guess letting you talk is a great mistake.
Ooyama shot a murderous, mad dog-like glare towards me, but he couldn't land a direct attack on me, he was completely on guard against my Pain Return.
Thus, I could survive for a few more minutes. Ooyama had too much power to the point that he could kill me with one punch, thus he couldn't attack me.
