Chapter 238 The Greatest Despair

The white spear is coming down. It thrusts aside the rock spears like roadside pebbles, and the shell shields are torn like papers. If Therese had to rely on anything, it would be quantity. The two had used most of their magic power to build countless barriers for this one moment. One barrier can be broken easily, but if its piled up many times, they become an invincible barrier. They set up the barriers while believing so.

However, Hunds attack continues to pierce them as if ridiculing them. The tip of the tail, the large spear is not even scratched and its power doesnt seem to be weakening. There are only a few more barriers left, and Therese gripped the shield of Coalesce tightly once again.

Come on! Im here desuwa! Just try to pierce me with that magnificent spear!

Therese is trying to get more attention by raising her voice with her Unique Skill Beautiful Voice of the Star. She feels fear, but she has her pride. She has been living thinking only of protecting someone. She thinks that its natural as the next lord, and thats why shes at her strongest right now. Her firm will to protect Weerel, whos behind her, makes the bond between the two stronger and creates a new miracle.

The only remaining barriers are the shell shield of Tashitan Tortuga and Thereses Coalesce. However, at that time, the Staff Fortress Coalesce began to take in the shell. It wasnt Thereses intention, but Coalesces own action. Vines and roots extended from the center of the shield and combined them perfectly. The reason is unknown, maybe because the twos thoughts and wavelengths overlapped. However, its certain that the defensive power of Coalesce has increased dramatically. Without realizing this, Therese clashed with Hunds attack.

Oohoho! Ooohohoho!

Therese doesnt stop raising her voice. Haruna advised her to ward off the attack, but shes stopping Hunds attack head-on. By doing so, she can direct Hunds attack toward herself and gives Haruna and Chinatsu more time to counterattack.

If Haruna and Chinatsu fail to finish Hund off, she will die. Even so, she cant let the chance go. Theres also the possibility that the target of the attack will be changed to Haruna and Chinatsu the moment she wards it off. For Therese, there are only the words of victory and protection, and theres no way for her to retreat halfway.

Ugh! But, not yet!

Coalesce is enduring it. Even though its stopping the attack of the large spear head-on, its still enduring it. However, Thereses legs that are supporting the shield are in so much pain as if they are torn apart. Weerel has warned her not to get hurt, but her whole body is already tattered.

Even so! Its me who can endure it desuwa! GUUUTS~!

While Therese roared and made an opening in Hund, the attacker pair of Haruna and Chinatsu was approaching the Great Eight Demons. As they ran, they finished their final meeting in front of him.

Theres no attack coming. It seems that we are completely out of sight.

Its thanks to Therese-san for taking all the attention of the demon king. But, it wont last long. The moment we attack, he will probably notice our presence as well.

Yes, I know. Its a decisive moment. Now is the time to show the results of our training!

Thats right. Then, lets go!

From there, they increased their speed at once and arrived in front of Hunds face in an instant. Hunds current form is close to quadrupedal, so his face is lower than before. The target is the part of the mouth where Hund has opened to speak.

Haah!

The first attack is an unstoppable continuous attack by Chinatsus Flame Magic Sword Pluto. Without minding the consumption of magic power, she is slashing the cracks in the mask over and over again with the flame blade. Rather than slashing, it may be more like an act of gouging open while shaving it.

With Plutos flames and Weerels water power, the power is immense. If it was the bone of the previous Hund, it could have been cut off by the number of the continuous attack. However, the mask that protects Hunds face is much thicker and denser than that. The crack widened, but not enough to expose his face.

Glares.

Chinatsus eyes met with Hunds. He has noticed their presence. And almost at the same time, Haruna appeared from behind her.

How about this!?

From the upper stance, Haruna knocked down the Doggan Staff with her greatest power. The moment the black blade of the Doggan Staff hit Hunds mask, the cracks that Chinatsu made collapsed at once, exposing the lower half of Hunds transformed face. The scattered bone fragments pierced Hund, and his face twisted into a pained expression.

Garde Ballista!

Dosseeei!

They didnt stop their fierce attacks. Chinatsu immediately shot a huge stake of light at Hunds mouth. At the moment it collided with Hunds teeth, Haruna hit the same spot with the Doggan Staff from behind the stake. Hunds teeth were shattered by the collision of Garde Barista and the pursuit attack of the Doggan Staff.

~~~~!?

Perhaps as the last resistance, Hunds right arm that resembled a giant dragon claw approached immediately after an inaudible scream rang out. Without exchanging words, Haruna and Chinatsu began their next action.

Alma Divine Bless! Hard Reflect!

It was Chinatsu who confronted that arm. After she formed a light armor and barrier, she was knocked down by the arm and her figure disappeared into the dust. Even so, Haruna didnt look back. She went straight into Hunds mouth through the broken teeth, thrust her dominant arm into his throat, and she continued to chant her magic until her magic power ran out.

Viobomb! Viobomb! Viobomb! Viobomb!

She continued to send a mass of poisonous water into Hunds throat. Even though this magic has a slow firing speed, it has a powerful effect if the target is already there. Haruna continued to produce the deadly poison and kept making Hund drink it. She didnt stop even when the amount is enough to fill a water pool.

Gah!?

The next thing she knew, she was blown away. Hunds tongue stretched out like a chameleon and hit Harunas abdomen. Even though it was his tongue, the power was the same as being hit by his fist, and Haruna got hit directly by that. When she hit the ground, she somehow managed to break her fall. However, it took more than half of her HP in one go and her view blurred.

Haa, haa ah.

At the place she was blown away, she found Chinatsu lying face down on the ground. Shes covered in blood, probably because she was hit by Hunds fist earlier. And seeing that theres no sign of her healing herself, it seems that shes fainted.

Ugh. Regeneration cant detox the poison, huh.

Before she knew it, Hund had returned to his original form. Hes probably cant stand that hes on his knees.

Guh. Just a little more! Therese-san, I leave Chinatsu-chan to you. Therese-san?

Haruna called out to Therese, but she didnt reply. When Haruna turns her face in the direction where Therese is, she sees that Therese has collapsed while hugging Weerel. Perhaps because she was protecting Weerel, Thereses right abdomen was severely gouged, and a pool of blood formed on the ground. If shes being left as is, it will be bad.

I have to do it!

With her Doggan Staff as support, Haruna tries to take her stance. Just one more attack, hurry, hurry, hurry! her mind is full of such a thought.

The greatest despair that can happen in this world, huh. I never thought I would use this.

Hund is holding something.
