Chapter 547 Super Speed, Super Defense

The bombardment battle (magic and physical) from a distance entered the final stage. The disciple team crossed the battlefield in a straight line, and they are almost in a position where they could reach Deris with their weapons.

I hope you dont think that you can win as long as you can get close.

Not at all. Thats why I will come with my all!

Deris repositioned his gun from his shooting stance and prepared for close combat. Haruna and Touko also readied their weapons for close combat after throwing the last ball.

(The two vanguards are close combatants, and the rear guard Chinatsu is still supporting them. That seems secure. Still, this Bardock is also capable of close combathmm?)

They will collide in a few seconds. And at that time, Harunas body begins to emit faint electricity.

(Electricity, is it lighting magic? Whoseno, in this case, what kind of magic?)

The three girls didnt have lighting magic before. Deriss thought was distracted by the new information, but he didnt show any opening. However, her being this close and having that magic used on her is not good for Deris.

Hah!

!?

Based on the girls agility values, Deris calculated that they still have a few seconds left before they would exchange blows. However, at this time, Haruna was already reached the attack range. When did she get there? Before he could come to a conclusion, Harunas Doggan Staff pierced Deriss flank.

Just before charging, Haruna used two magic. One was Purple Lightning Magic Level 30 Thunder Start, a magic that temporarily increases ones instantaneous force by covering ones feet with purple electricity. By using this magic, which Deris didnt know before, Haruna was able to throw Deriss calculations out of order and catch him off guard. However

(!? Its hard!)

A full power attack from her Doggan Staff was blocked, not even touching Deriss skin. Haruna knew that Deriss endurance status was extraordinary. However, the feeling she sensed wasnt something of the level of simply having a high endurance value.

It seems both of us were surprised!

Ehehe! Thats right!

The two began to exchange blows while having doubts

(Even if I hit him with the Doggan Staff, or if try to break his inside with my punch or kick, theres no response at all. It feels as if his body has turned into a black magic stone! Even if I try to poison his eyes or other vital points, it doesnt work, as if hes putting up Op Room. Hmm, this is troublesome!

(Ive been getting attacked by Haru since a while ago. Even if she was using Thunder Start, which raises the instantaneous force, it is strange that there is such a difference in speed. No matter how much I estimate it, her speed should be equal to or less than mine. Im sure she did something else.)

No matter how many times Haruna hit Deris, none of her attacks seemed to be working. On the other hand, no matter how much Deris anticipated and moved quickly, none of his attack hit Haruna. It seems that the fierce battle ended up in such a stalemate. Of course, there was a reason for this.

The other magic that Haruna used before charging was a level 30 scroll magic of Purple Lighting Magic, Nervites. This magic, which causes purple electricity to flow throughout the body, has the effect of enhancing the reflexes of the user. The reason why Haruna was able to avoid all of Deriss attacks was because she had obtained a reflex speed that exceeded human limits with it, and by adding the instantaneous force of the Thunder Start, she was able to defend and attack after seeing Deriss moves. In other words, its an imitation of Nells unique skill. Haruna had just acquired lightning magic, but by focusing her training on three magic skills, including these two, during the preparation period, she managed to use them to a practical level.

On the other hand, Deris is using a level 100 scroll magic of Holy Magic, Alma Duradios, an upgraded version of Alma Divine Bless that protects the whole body with a divine armor. As the highest class of light magic and the highest level of scroll magic, its effect is tremendous. Seeing that the full power attack of the Doggan Staff and the internal organ-destroying martial arts that Haruna specializes in are completely not working, it is easy to understand how sturdy it is. Since he learned this magic from a scroll during the preparation period, its not subject to Chinatsus nullifying magic.

One couldnt give any damage, and one couldnt even land a hit. The battle seems as if it wont be settled, but its only an illusion. After all, the situation is changing every moment.

I arrived!

Youre finally here, huh, Touko!

Yes, Haruna went first to exchange blows with Deris, but there were Touko and Chinatsu behind her. Moreover, Touko possess the Unique Skill Berserk, which allows her to penetrate defensive power. For Deris, who is currently specializing in defense to survive, it would be a bad match. Even Bardock, which is as sturdy as the Doggan Staff, has the possibility of being destroyed by Toukos attack. Defending against her attack with the divine armor or his staff would be a bad move. The only thing left to do is to completely avoid her attack, but thats also difficult. Even if she couldnt give any damage, Haruna still has her aiki that can obstruct Deriss actions. Such a naive idea would not work against these two, who are pushing their coordination to the limit.

Ugh!

Thats why Deris decided to purposely accept them. He accepted the damage with determination. Toukos fist pierced Deris deeply, and the sound of his flesh tearing and his bones creaking could be heard. Moreover, hes completely being restrained by Harunas aiki.

(I hit him! No, he caught my attack!? Wait, I cant get my arm out!)

(Hmm, I have a very bad feeling about this! Im completely restraining him with my aiki, though! H-Hmm? Im also being restrained?)

Touko and Haruna were right. Deris accepted the attack and shrewdly made his next move.

(Ouch! It was obvious that it would hurt if she put her hand inside my body! Ah, if possible, I wanted to drag in Goddess Chinatsu as well. I guess shes not careless enough to rush at me with the others. Well then, for the time being)

The hand grenade that Deris hid in his pocket dropped. It seems that he set it to remove the pin and drop automatically when he received any damage.

Ignite.

A roaring explosion sounded. The massive explosion, which was centered on Deris, engulfed everyone on the battlefield except Chinatsu.
