Chapter 238.1 - Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle?Final Phase II

??? THE SHELL HAS BEEN BROKEN THROUGH! SAKURA SHOOOOOOOOOOOT!?

I shouted as soon as Arachne Rem pulled me out from the hole with her rope.

?YOU DID IT KOTARO-KUN!?

?DID YOU DO IT, MOMOKAWA!??

The first ones to greet me as soon as I got pulled out were Mei-chan and Randou-san.

But since they were too busy with maintaining the line of defense, they couldn't rush toward me.

Ah, Orochi's head really did come here.

The awfully white Orochi head was handled by Mei-chan who acted as the vanguard, and Randou-san who supported the former as rear guard.

The others were fighting the gargoyles that came from the hole along the wall that had already completed its role.

Maybe we wouldn't even last for three minutes in this kind of situation.

?WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR SAKURA, MOVE IT!?

?I'M PREPARING IT NOW, DON'T RUSH IT MOMOKAWA!!?

Seeing that she was as hysterical as usual,I reckoned Sakura-chan was still all right. At least she still had magical power left for coup de grace.

?I'll leave the last attack to you. Don't miss it.?

?I won't, not when the hole is just straight down.?

I passed by Sakura's side to switch our position while telling her that.

?Though I've been using it like there's no tomorrow a while ago, let's do it once again???Rotten Bog?!?

Randou-san was giving her all to make sure that none of Orochi head's attack hit us, so the only one that could protect the wall was Shimokawa with his meager defensive magic of water attribute. Though his efficiency became better thanks to the Kelpie cane, it was far from enough for this kind of situation.

That's why, as soon as I returned as the rear guard after switching place with Sakura-chan, I unleashed the ?Rotten Bog? on the ground beneath the feet of the gargoyle to hinder their movement.

?It's easy to trap them when they're so overcrowded like this.?

I threw a grenade with an air launcher toward the crowd of gargoyles. There was no need to save our ammo in this situation.

I also unleashed ?Poison? using the fool's cane installed with  ?Shaman's Skull?  in my left hand while beating the gargoyle that was on fire.

Since it's time to go all out, I used Blackhair Bind to meddle with their vanguard.

If it was a defense battle against the enemy that was coming toward us, there was no need for me to give an instruction, we just needed to fight with all we got.

Moreover, we still had to buy some time for Sakura-chan to charge her arrow to deal the final attack.

Hold on for a while longer, we have to keep fighting, victory is right before us.

?This is the end???Lux Fortix Sagita((Brilliant White Arrow)??

And then, the moment of truth came.

The giant, dazzling white arrow shining brightly like our beacon of victory had finally unleashed into the hole that was drilled into Orochi's body.

Both the bed rock beneath us and the shell had already gone.

All that was left was to get rid of those flesh.

Even if Sakura wasn't gifted with extremely cool vocation called ?Saint?, her light attribute spell was already overpowered.

And then, once she fired ?Lux Fortis Sagita?, an advanced spell, it would pierce Yamata no Orochi's bulky flesh, and destroy the core that was supplying infinite magical power??

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

The eeriely bright red light fired by Sakura entered into the hole along with a heavy and eerie sound.

Maybe that red light came from destroying the core.

Which then followed by Yamata no Orochi's death wail.

RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

At that moment, the ground beneath us shook.

?WOAAAAAAAAAAAH!??

?W-WHAT THE HECK IS THIS, AN EARTHQUAKE!??

The tremor was very violent to the point that we couldn't stand properly on the ground. Even as someone who lives in Japan, a country that is familiar with earthquakes, this was the first time I'd experienced an earthquake of this magnitude.

?KOTARO-KUN WATCH OUT!?

At the same time as I heard Mei-chan's scream, cracks formed at the ground before me.

By cracks I mean a lot of them.

Without ground, this rocky mountain would break apart for sure.

?Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…?

Unable to stand properly in this situation, I was forced to miserably crawl on the ground.

Crap, the cracks were getting closer and closer.

If the bedrock collapsed, I would at least fall from a dozen meters's height. I would literally fall to death from such height.

?SHAAAAAAAAAAAA!?

?ARACHNE! GOOD JOB!?

Arachne Rem, the only one who could stand stably with her four legs in this situation, grabbed me who almost fell into a crevice with her string while clinging on the pillar that grew from the ground.

Anyhow, this was my lifeline.

?Save Randou-san and Shimokawa too!?

?KISHAAAAA!?

The top priority was the rear guard who wouldn't survive from free fall.

Mei-chan might have no problem surviving falling from this height, the same went for Yamada who specialized in defense and had the right skill for this situation, and Sakura had her barrier.

Randou-san and Shimokawa were the only members who could die if they fell from this height. The spellcaster class was truly at disadvantage in this kind of situation.

?Oooh, this is Rem-chin's thread!?

?T-That was a close call…?

Arachne Rem caught the two without a hitch.

The cracks spreading further and becoming even bigger with each passing second??

???The rocky mountain is split into two.?

Yes, the rocky mountain split into left and right with the hole we dug as its center.

The cracks expanded toward the east and west direction for as far as I could see.

The width of the crack already reached 10 meters, at this point it was already a valley instead of crack.

Due to sudden environmental change on the rocky mountain, the gargoyle army was running down to the foot of the mountain in a hurry. However, a new problem appeared.

?Is that… The core…?

I looked at the bottom of the valley while hanging loosely on arachne thread that was wrapped around my abdomen.

It was right there, shining brightly in red color at the bottom of the valley.

A gray colored outer shell could be seen beneath the bedrock. And even though I had gone through all of those troubles to make a hole in the shell, it split open just like that along with the rocky mountain.

The giant core revealed from beneath the cracked shell.

It looked like a crimson gem that was embedded on the ground. Its diameter was around five meters, and the surface… Was smooth, not even scratch on it.

?Sakura-chan, has your arrow missed its target??

?I'm sure my arrow hit its target! But I felt no response at all… This core must be really a tough one!?

Sakura-chan screamed from the other side of the crack.

I wouldn't say that it was an unsightly excuse.

It's just as she said, the attack did hit the core. As a result, the ground cracked and the mountain split.

For Yamata no Orochi, its only weakness was its core, their true body… That's why it was only natural for the core to be really tough.

?Dammit, the core’s toughness was beyond expectation.?

I thought it was a weak point, and forgot to factor in the fact that it might be the toughest part.

?Once again, Sakura-chan. Randou-san, Shimokawa-kun, match the timing to attack the core together!?

?Roger.?

?Oke~?

?Kill in one hit!?

This was the moment when the spellcaster class showed their true prowess.

The gargoyles were already gone; Orochi's heads had already been gone some time ago too.

Time for saturation attack.

?FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?

??Lux Fortis Sagita??

??Terra Fortis Sagita??

??Aqua Over Blast??

Advanced attack magic of light and earth attribute, and intermediate attack magic of water attribute poured down at once toward the core.
