In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 396: The Golden Destroyer, and the Gold Hammer.

(Author: POV changes mid-chapter.)

[Shield]!

I casted defensive magic enhanced with divinity from Reginleiv.

The normally-invisible barriers shone with a sublime light as they stood against the two particle beams shot by the two-headed dragon.

Its impossible for the shield enhanced with divinity to break under normal circumstances, but the other side is a dependant of the evil god. As expected, it possesses power befitting that status; the barriers soon began creaking under the pressure of the attack.

However, they somehow endured and managed to defend against the particle beams. Although, the [Shield]s immediately broke apart afterwards.

First thing they do is that, huh, those bastards

I was honestly a bit panicked back there, you know. Those guys, messing around

Oi, Ende. Im going to isolate those two to someplace else; I can leave them to you after that, right?

Ah. Ill do something together with Mel and the others.

Got it. Ill leave that to you then. Fragarach, mode change: Chains.

The 48 daggers floating around Reginleiv each changed form into short chains, which then connected together to form one single long chain. Two counterweight-like crystal balls are attached on either end.

The chain, with divinity poured into it, circled around Reginleiv as it lengthened itself.

Go. Catch those two ill-natured ruler-classes. [Gleipnir].

The crystal chain moved with shocking speed and flew towards the two ruler-classes standing on top of the two-headed dragons heads. The chain assaulted the twin ruler-classes while undulating, almost like a crystal snake.

What is this!?

What is this!?

The two counterweights on both ends caught Leto and Luto respectively, and drawing an S- shape in the air, they tightly bound the two together.

It wont last long. I sent the two ruler-classes flying towards a nearby beach together with the chains.

This!

The chains binding the two of them cracked with a *piki*. Well, those ruler-classes are also holders of divinity as dependants of the evil god, after all.

Since I cant let Reginleivs Fragarachs get broken this early in the game, I released the bindings, and dropped the two of them onto the beach below.

Leto and Luto fell onto the beach and landed with safe postures.

However, this isnt the end, you know.

[Prison].

This time, I used imprisonment magic to seal the two up. Normally, that [Prison] wouldnt break from anything.

However, since theyre variant ruler-classes, that becomes uncertain. If they focus their all on breaking it, it isnt impossible for them to get out of the [Prison].

Well, thats assuming they can actually put all their focus into breaking the [Prison], that is.

Do with them what you want. Well deal with the advanced-classes.

Thank you, Touya. (Note: Thank you was in English.)

A monotone Dragoon rushed towards this direction in its high-mobility mode. The three Phrase ruler-class girls, Mel and the others, are riding in its hands.

The three of them got down from the Dragoon after it stopped, and Ende also jumped down from the cockpit.

What, and here I was wondering who it could be; arent you guys the losers and the runaway former [Sovereign]?

Ara, arent you Nei? To see you together with Endymion who you hated so much before, what a surprise. I was sure you had run back to Phrasia while crying, you know.

Ignoring the two who laughed at them like that, Ende and the others entered the [Prison]. Ive set it up so that everything besides variants can pass through them, so theyre fine on that regard.

Leto, Luto. Its been a while.

While Mel called out to them, the four of them stood in front of the twins.

Im concerned about their battle, but lets leave it to Ende and the others. Ive got a ton of things I need to do here as well.

I returned the chain-shaped Fragarachs to their original board shapes, and made them attach back onto Reginleivs back.

First, we have to do something against the three advanced-classes.

Touya-san, how should we respond against the advanced-classes?

At Yuminas question, I sank into thought for a while before sending instructions to the others.

Suu, take your Overlord against the stag beetle. Sakurall support her. Yae, Hilda, Elze and Linze will be on the starfish. Leen, Luu and Yumina, you three cover the knight order and attack the advanced-classes based on the situation. Ill be handling the two-headed dragon. If you managed to defeat your opponent, go and lend a hand to the others.

That stag beetle advanced-class isnt that large. Its at most 70, 80 meters long. Suus Ortlinde Overlord is over 30 meters tall; I think its plenty possible for her to hold it back by force.

In the first place, Ortlinde is a frame made with point defense in mind. Its defense is solid. And with Sakuras support added in, it should be perfect.

Im a bit worried about the starfish since I cant tell what kind of attack it would use, but if its those four, they should be able to manage.

And, the thing Im left to do is to deal with that two-headed dragon as fast as I can, then go and help out the others.

Im relying on you, Ende. Please dont let those ruler-classes come over here.

Alright, lets go!

I re-deployed the Fragarachs on my back, and headed back in towards the two-headed dragon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Note: POV change. Im pleasantly surprised; its a viewpoint we havnt seen so far. Something like a third-person view centered on one person.)

Alright, its our turn-nano ja! Cant wait to show them my power-no!

Suu shook with joy inside Ortlinde Overlords cockpit. Theres that thing about it being a defensive mech too, so in the battles up until now, there hasnt been a single time where Suu had gone out to the front lines.

However, this time, Touya has expressed his permission. Its fine to beat those enemies up without hesitation.

And anyway, Touyas a bit too overprotective-no ja. Im one of his wives too. An advanced- class variant or two, thats easy as pie-ja.

No negligence. The part King-sama is worried about is that part of Suus where you get ahead of yourself.

Uu T-that just now was me trying to pump myself up-ja. Im not getting ahead of myself!

Then its fine.

Sakuras calm voice came over from the speaker installed in the cockpit, making her unintentionally raise her voice.

She then regretted it a little as her attitude just now was a bit childish. Among Touyas fiances, Suu is the youngest. Shes two years younger than the next youngest Yumina and Luu.

Even though theyre only two years older, Suu felt that the two of them could already deal with issues maturely. (Thats only what Suu thought, and it isnt actually true.)

That thought made Suu impatient. She wanted to quickly become a splendid lady just like those two.

Recently, she had asked her mother Ellen to teach her things like sewing, etiquette and dancing. Although the results werent really satisfactory

In any case, right now its beating the stag beetle in front of me-no ja!

Inside the customized cockpit for her personal use, Suu swiftly operated the control stick, and inputted commands using the buttons under her fingers while pouring magic power into them.

Cannon Knuckle Spiral!

The right arm of Ortlinde Overlord, which it held up, began spinning rapidly from the elbow down and launched off.

The golden right hand, which flew in a straight line, clashed against the dark golden stag beetle which is standing up on its hind legs.

After around two seconds of grinding against the stag beetle, the right hand bounced off, failing to penetrate its target, and returned back to the main body.

The stag beetle had large cracks in the center of its chest due to the attack, but those cracks soon began to regenerate, and before long it returned to an unhurt appearance.

Mu. So it cant be dealt with that easily, huh.

For a normal Phrase, destroying its core would defeat it. Thats the same with the variants, but since the variants arent transparent
