There are number of skills bestowed to me by God.
Only two types can be combined.
But if they are compatible, they will strengthen each other’s effects and exert tremendous power. That’s the ability, 【Duplicity】, under the skill,『God of Mischief’s Divine Protection』.
“Vooooo!”
There came the roar of the Mithril Golem.
Then the sound of the chain axe.
Followed by a magic explosion.
“Looks like you got an idea, Rion.”
Mia-san called out as she fought back.
“Go ahead and try it! I’ll cover you.”
She added. Her powerful smile seemed to give me a slap on the back.
Courage rose up within me.
Felix-san also smiled and stepped in to cover for Mia-san.
So this is what a party is huh……
“Sigris…… You have new abilities, right?”
I got a flash of inspiration.
While I’m having such conversation, the Mithril Golem turned its eyes to me.
“Wau!”
I sensed the danger. I quickly kept some distance.
Mia-san once again took over as the vanguard but I couldn’t leave it on her for long. There is a barrier that weakens magical attack, so Felix-san’s flame is also ineffective. If this continues, Mia-san’s burden will be too great.
『……Are you talking about the Spear of Sigris?』
(Yes. That can deliver magic effects over a long distance, right?)
『Yes. It sends healing effects, speed boosts, and other auxiliary effects to far-off believers via the spear.』
Perhaps it was the power of the Goddess in the sky to protect her believers far away.
(If it can also be used as a ‘spear’—)
All the gods were surprised at the plan I told them.
Uhm, I mean, it would be more accurate to say that they were shocked.
『I-, I just said it was for auxiliary, you know?! It’s true that my spear is still a spear, but……』
Sigris’ voice raised her voice.
Loki and Thor remained calm.
『Mmm, it’s possible. And duplicity can indeed do that. What about you, Thor……?』
『……The warrior who is fighting in the front is Rion. If the warrior says so, I have no objection.』
It’s settled then.
I called out to my comrades.
“Mia-san, Felix-san!”
The golem throws rocks at me.
I called out to the two of them as I rolled to the side.
“Can you stop the golem from moving?”
“Do you have a plan?”
“Yes!”
The golem launches its attack in earnest. It uses its log-like fingers to throw countless rocks at me. If I got hit it, it will probably break my spine. I desperately tries to avoid it, but I lose my direction for a moment due to the floating dust.
Still, I continued to speak out.
“Cough, cough…… All you have to do is stop it from moving! I’m going to take a big shot!”
Then came a red light in the thick dust.
If I hadn’t detected it, I would have been dead.
The golem slam its hands together, sinking the ground.
“Ugh!?”
I jumped back and moved out of danger, but shattered rocks came flying at me.
Several pebbles cut my cheek.
If it weren’t for Lu’s gauntlet, the arm that covered my face would be in tatters now.
The golem’s voice makes the air tremble.
“Fo…… Fofo ……”
It’s like it’s laughing.
The huge, distorted body was mocking us for being helpless.
My father taught me that golems are magical creature with no emotions.
….Then, such golems like this really exist?
“Rion, run!”
Mia-san’s chain axe entangled the golem’s right arm.
“A big shot, you say?”
It was the 『Axeman』ability, 【Immovable】. It had a simple effect of making the target stand still in place, but when combined with the chain axe, it became a technique to restrain the opponent.
Even the huge golem couldn’t move easily either.
“Ooooo!”
“Heh, wanna move? Then I’ll let you go.”
When the golem put in more strength, Mia-san released her skill. The golem, which had been stepping too hard to undo its restrain, lost its balance and fell to its knees.
It quickly got back on its feet, but it was enough for the three of us to gather together.
When I told them about the plan, my comrades look at each other.
“―like that huh. Mia, what do you think?”
“I can afford it. It’s you, Warrior-san, don’t hold us back.”
After saying that, the two of them smiled at me.
“Got it.”
“Count on me.”
Mia-san is the front guard, and Felix-san is the rear guard. Believing that my attack would pass, my teammates entrusted me with the finishing move.
“Ooooooooooo……!”
We glared back at the Mithril Golem as it growls. It froze for a moment.
What disrupted it were the moving chains.
“I’m good at throwing too, you know.”
The chain axes flew and entangled the golem’s head.
Felix-san’s flames struck the golem’s hand as it tried to shake the chains off.
“Keep your head down!”
Gishiii!
The sound of chains clinking echoed throughout the area. Mia-san is trying to hold the golem down with “Immovable” once again. The ground shakes with the golem’s roar. I could see that the light in its eyes shone fiercely, and it is crazily mobilizing all its magical power.
“Vooooooooo!!”
“O-oii! That’s too much……”
Just as Mia-san’s voice trembled, the magic cut in.
“Burial!”
The floor collapsed under the Mithril Golem’s feet.
The huge body of the golem sinks into the soil up to the knees. Felix-san stroked his chin and Mia-san grinned.
“……You’re doing great.”
“You too.”
The golem was trying to crawl up using both its arms. Perhaps it was its resistance to magic or the strength of the power it possessed, but gradually, its entire body began to slip away.
“….Golems are armored so that they can protect their entire body most efficiently when they are standing upright. In other words, if they’re bent over…!”
Felix-san’s coronet is sparkling.
The golem’s torso is protected by ancient armor. It was taken in from an unexplored area, but there was a gap in the back side due to its body being bent forward.
An opening.
It’s now!
“Here goes!”
| Skill 『Divine Protection of the God of Medicine』 【Spear of Sigris】…… Remote assistance. It transfers magical effects to the spear and delivers them to the target. |
It is a power for support. For example, a healing effect such as 【White Flame】can be delivered to a distance by throwing the spear.
―Originally, that is.
『In ancient times, my companions, the Valkyries, each had their own abilities. This spear was one of them. It delivers magical effects to distant warriors……』
Now I can combine the power of the gods.
| Skill:『God of Thunder’s Divine Protection』. 【Hammer of the God of Thunder】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Shoots a strong lightning attack. |
My head is spinning.
The spear should have contain auxiliary magic, but now it contains lightning. It’s a spear filled with lightning bolts.
―The true essence of 『God of Mischief’s Divine Protection』is the fusion of god’s blessings.
The mithril golem looks like it’ll come out of the hole any second now.
I’m running out of time.
『……Ready? If this doesn’t work, then you must unseal me this time. There is no shame in relying on Gods.』
Thor emphasized.
Solana encourages me too.
『No, you can do it. Stay calm, be precise, and have courage!』
“Yaa!”
I threw the spear.
The spear hurtles towards the mithril golem. Thanks to my improved physical abilities because of 【Golden Flame】, the spear penetrates the soft part between the armor.
Mia-san released her chain axe, and the golem falls on its arms.
“Vuooo!”
The 【Spear of Sigris】 is used to deliver magic over long distances. It have penetrated the Mithril Golem’s magic barrier and the tip have reached close to the core.
But it’s not over yet.
The spear is accompanied by Thor’s thunder. Lightning bolts traveled through the stuck spear and instead of being deflected away, it was sent straight into the golem’s core.
Lightning spurted from its limbs, and the golem puffed out black smoke.
『Haha, just like an injection. Typical of a Valkyria.』
『I’ve never seen anyone use my spear like this.…』
Loki laughed.
Even though I was the one who did it, I can’t believe it was such an amazing effect.
“Vuo, ooooo……!”
The body made of soil crumbles, and the armors it had absorbed scatter like they were exploding.
“Oooo……!”
The lower half of its body had already collapsed. The golem left its legs behind and crawled towards me with only its upper body.
Its outstretched hands were trembling, perhaps out of anger.
The blue light on its head was flickering, but it was still looking towards me.
No—
“Is it looking at the gold coin……?”
That is what I felt.
It’s like an ancient giant reaching out to the gods.
『……This presence.』
The moment Solana’s voice was heard, the golem came to a complete halt. The upper body also crumbles, returning to a mass of rocks and dirt.
The exposed reddish-black orb also lost its power.
The boss layer then become quiet.
I calmed my breathing.
“We won.”
“Yes! Well done!”
Felix-san shrugs and clapped hands with Mia-san.
A refreshing pop rang out.
