Chapter 235.1 - Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle?Unforeseen Situation
Fifteen minutes had elapsed since Kotaro descended to the bottom of the hole and started drilling the shell.
?A~h, my bad, I can't do this anymore.?
Said Kyouko, drenched in cold sweat, pulled the trigger of her golden revolver.
She constantly repaired the earth defense spell that looked like it was on the verge of breaking.
To her horror, there was more than one path she had to repair.
She had to fix every side of the wall along with the ceiling. A loud roaring sound of impact from the outside could be heard from the cracked places.
?Dammit, the mist not gonna work if those fellas were this ferocious.?
That sound could be heard every time the gargoyle had almost managed to break the wall. And those noises ended up calling their comrades, the plan started spiraling out of control.
Not to mention that they had no way to fight back except with Shimokawa's ?Acid Shield?, and the situation had only been worsened by seconds.
But, even this situation had already been included in Kotaro's prediction. In the place where it was possible to intercept, everyone would do their usual job. He decided on this place because this place would give them more advantage in terms of keeping the gargoyles at bay.In short, the situation in which the gargoyles managed to destroy the wall had already been included in the plan.
?HURRY UP MOMOKAWA!?
?Calm down Souma-san. I'll exercise my right to stop you even by force if you're trying to disturb Kotaro's job.?
The matter of them being besieged by a gargoyle army from all sides had been anticipated, but it was actually predicted to happen in the final phase of the plan.
Had it been according to his plan, by the time this happened when they were still drilling the shell, the plan might have failed.
If even one gargoyle interrupted Kotaro who invoked the spell in the bottom of the hole, it could be said that the plan had failed. Once they lost the only way to pierce Yamata no Orochi's shell, it only meant that they wouldn't have another way to pierce Yamata no Orochi's defense with its' invincible defense.
They would fail, and there was no need to say what was going to happen to the infiltration team who got stranded right in the middle of the enemy's crowd.
?I won't do that. But, this situation will affect the success of our plan.?
?You still don't get it, huh? The one to decide that isn't you.?
Meiko replied as she glared back at Sakura.
When she was a staff in charge of everyone's meal, she would look at everyone with a warm smile on her face as they ate the meal she cooked. The expression on the current Meiko was the exact opposite of that gentle Meiko, but everyone knew that once that smile disappeared from her face, Meiko would turn into an extremely dangerous berserker.
And the Meiko that transformed into a ?Berserker? was a cold and ruthless person.
?CO-COME TO THINK OF IT! I SUDDENLY FEEL FAMISHED!?
Shimokawa, who saw the tension between Meiko and Sakura was about to turn into a fight that would spell doom for their entire plan, suddenly shouted loudly so that everyone could hear his voice.
We had no time for internal conflict. We were surrounded from all sides.
?Yeah. It can't be helped, we're going to risk our lives after this.?
Even the thickheaded Yamada realized that he couldn't allow the situation to worsen and agreed with Shimokawa.
?Quit it already, Souma.?
?I've never said that I don't trust Momokawa's plan. It just???
She just thought that some part of his plan might have gone wrong.
No, that is also wrong.
It wasn't like everything would go according to the plan.
But she couldn't erase her doubt after Kotori said ?Momokawa Kotaro might betray us?.
?Oi, I beg you to quit already, this ain't the time to spout such nonsense! Yamada is absolutely right, we don't have any choice but to buy time for Momokawa!?
?The wall might break anytime soon. Guys grab your weapons.?
Thus, everyone started to ignore Sakura who started to act like a hysterical woman and stood around the well to intercept any monster that came through the broken wall.
The next moment, even Sakura had no choice but to draw her bow to shoot down any enemy that might come from the broken wall.
Thus, an eerie silence descended in that space.
The space was dominated by the scream of the gargoyle and the sound of them banging on the wall and roof from outside. But the inside was strangely quiet.
The end of the eerie silence was coming literally out of nowhere.
RATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLERATTLE!
One part of the wall broke along with a piercing sound.
The one who broke the wall was a gargoyle whose size was at least three times bigger than the normal gargoyle. The wings that were supposed to grow from its back were replaced with a pair of arms as if to emphasize its being specialized in attack.
This was the gargoyle that Kotaro dubbed as ?Big Type?.
It destroyed part of the wall with a charging attack that made full use of its huge frame.
The giant gargoyle that rolled on the ground raised its body immediately and opened its mouth to roar upon seeing the figure of the human hidden in the building,
?HAAAH!?
Only to get its body bisected by the berserker right before it raised a voice.
The ax blade of the berserker's halberd split the big gargoyle's body in half from the crown of its head all the way to its crotch, killing the latter in a single blow.
?RANDOU-SAN!?
??Terra Shield??
Kyouko patched the hole in the wall immediately.
The rest of the gargoyles tried to rush into the hole in the wall however, the hole was patched up immediately.
Naturally, that was only a stopgap measure, not a real solution to their problem.
Meiko moved immediately to the place that was seemingly going to break next and swung her halberd again.
?Randou-san, I'll block this place! Please deal with the big hole over there!?
?Leave it to me!?
The moment Shimokawa used his water shield to prevent one or two small-scale breakthroughs, a huge crevice formed on the opposite side.
Meiko's reaction was delayed on this one. This time, two big gargoyles broke through the wall along with a rattling sound.
?IT'S MY TURN! REM, LET'S GO!?
?BUMOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?
The ones who dealt with it were Yamada and Rem the 4th, Minotaurs.
Though they couldn't instakill big type like Meiko, they had no problem in defeating them in one-on-one combat.
And while the 4th and Yamada were dealing with those two gargoyles, Rem the 3rd, and Alfa cleaned up the one that had been sneaking behind the two with their claws, fangs, and tail.
?I NEED 20 SECONDS TO SEAL SUCH A BIG HOLE! DO SOMETHING TO PROP THE CEILING IN THE MEANTIME!?
Kyouko shouted while telling everyone the current condition.
The hole in the wall that got torn up forcefully by two big gargoyles was too big to be sealed with one shot of ?Terra Shield?.
And while she did her best to seal that big hole, the ceiling that had been rattling since a while ago would collapse for sure.
And only a few of them could deal with airborne foes.
????Lux Kris Sagita??
Suddenly, Sakura unleashed her intermediate offensive magic with her ?Saint Harmonic Bow?.
A beam of light tore the darkness, and pierced the skull of the enemy who broke the ceiling.
The one who destroyed the ceiling wasn't your average gargoyle either, it was another big gargoyle. It had an eerie appearance like a combination of a bat with the beak of a bird.
And the moment that beak glowing with crimson light broke the ceiling and peeked out, Sakura's ?Lux Kris Sagita(Brilliant Arrow)? pierced that beak.
The light arrow broke the tough beak and pierced its head, instantly killing the gargoyle.
The corpse of the gargoyle fell weakly and sealed the hole at the same time, it was a blessing in disguise since that coincidence bought more time for them.
?DID ITS CORPSE GET STUCK!??
?IGNORE IT FOR NOW, JUST SEAL IT UP LIKE THAT!?
Only then did Kyouko realize that Sakura's remark made sense, they had no leeway to get rid of the corpse that got stuck in the hole. And unexpectedly, the sealing process went without a hitch, sealing everything except the beak.
?Next one…?
?FUTABA, TAKE CARE OF THE WALL OVER THERE!?
?Roger that, Randou-san.?
Meiko readied her halberd as she headed toward the wall pointed out by Kyouko.
They managed to seal the hole. The classmates were working together really nicely, everyone exhibited their forte to their fullest.
But, they would eventually reach their limit.
It was only a matter of time before they reached their limit.
Even Meiko shuddered, imagining such a never-ending battle.
