Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai-Chapter 230.1 - Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle I

Act 15: Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle

The time had come. Today was the day we were going to execute the Yamata no Orochi subjugation plan for real.

We, 18 students of classes 2-7, recovered enough and had all of our equipment ready.

We gathered in the front-line headquarters, looking at the gargoyle resting on the rocky mountain.

「――Everyone, are you ready?」

Everyone replied in unison, albeit with a slightly strained voice upon being asked by Class Rep.

「Okay then, let's go. Let's defeat Yamata no Orochi and most importantly, survive with everyone!」

The one who gave the motivational speech wasn't me, it was Souma-kun. Well, this was indeed the job of the hero.

—"OOOH!" Everyone shouted as the subjugation plan commenced.

Firstly, everyone moved together in the eastern direction, the right side of the front-line headquarters.

As long as we were marching in two-column formation inside the trench, the gargoyle wouldn't come to disturb us.

This part went according to the practice without a hitch. There was no need for Class Rep and me to interfere, everyone was already aware of their duty and moved accordingly. That's a co-op play for you.

「Everyone get ready. Mei-chan, ready whenever you are.」

「Yes, see you later, Kotaro-kun.」

The first vanguard of Yamata no Orochi's subjugation was my guardian deity, 『Berserker』 Futaba Meiko.

Mei-chan leapt out lightly from the trench and ran straight toward the rocky mountain that became Orochi's nest.

GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And it appeared immediately.

The one who got beaten up the most by us this far, the 1st head. The 1st phase, one head.

The moment this fella made his appearance, everyone started running out from the trench at once.

Because Mei-chan was the one in the lead, Orochi's 1st head was locked onto her opening its maw as it rushed toward her.

Maybe because it wanted to swallow her whole along with the ground beneath her feet, Orochi's head was closing in toward Mei-chan as its scale shaving the ground beneath it. It almost looked like the scene of a human about to be overrun by an electric train.

Alas, the one standing before them ain't a normal human. She was a superwoman,with the power of berserker.

「Haaaa――『Mighty Strike』!」 freёnovelkiss.com

Mei-chan leapt up as she put her black tower shield forward, and used the momenttum of her jump to land a strike on Orochi's nose with her martial arts.

『Mighty Strike』: Otherwise known as shield bash. Raising the striking power when attacking with shield. It seems she learnt this skill before she realized it.

The power that used the spring power of her entire muscle exploded, and stopped Orochi's charge.

Just how much power was packed behind that strike to be able to stop that charge, even smash a few scales around Orochi's nose?

But that was all it did. The other party suffered almost no damage from bleeding.

Orochi's head that collided with 『Mighty Strike』 was stunned for a few seconds―― But, those few seconds were enough time for us.

「NOW, THE FIRST HEAD!」

「That's obvious, ain't need you to tell us about that.」

The ones who approached Orochi from the sides were 『Hero』 Souma Yuuto and 『King』 Tendou Ryuuichi.

The shining holy sword in the former’s hand was truly befitting the name of the hero while the king was holding a bulky and massive black sword befitting his title.

Their timing was perfect. As expected of childhood friends and bosom buddies.

「Torn to shred, 『Nero Lightning』」

「Devour it, 『Nether Vortex』」

Souma-kun fired a blinding white godly slash.

Tendou-kun created an eerie vortex of darkness.

Each magic and weapon struck at Orochi from both sides in a flash.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

As expected, even Orochi was howling in pain upon receiving simultaneous big skill from both of our aces.

There was a huge wound on the right side of the head from the brilliant slash, the left side on the other hand was gouged as if the meat was twisted before being torn up by force.

You could say that the only way for Orochi to take the damage was by giving it a critical wound.

But, this fella would recover immediately after that. So we couldn't afford to stop the attack for the time being.

That was why we had to use this opening.

「Minami, it's your turn!」

「Kenzaki, don't mess up!」

「Leave it to me, Ryouko-chan!」

「Be quiet Randou, you'll disturb us.」

The one who made the next move as they passed the king and hero who just unleashed a big skill was 『Thief』 Natsukawa Minami and 『Twin Swordsman』 Kenzaki Asuna.

They had been chosen to execute the plan's next step on Orochi who had already been on the verge of death simply because of their speed.

The thing they held in their hands wasn't their weapon.

In Natsukawa-san's hands was a two-metre-long ice lance that glowed with pale blue light.

On Kenzaki's side was another lance around the same size made from metal.

『Sealing Lance?Frozen』:Lance made from 『Ice Crystal』, crystallization of advanced ice attribute made with Class Rep's 『Freezing Alchemy Formation』. But, its real worth was when she invoked her ice magic into the ice lance.

『Sealing Lance?Black Gold』:Lance with a golden pattern made on its body as a result of Tendou-kun's alchemy on ultra-pure earth attribute light ore made with Randou-san's 『Iron Ore Alchemy Formation』. This one also showed its true power when Randou-san invoked her magic with it.

Both Kenzaki and Natsukawa who held sealing lance in their hands were running like a gale toward the head of Orochi who had lost the power to even lift its own head.

Natsukawa-san's target was the crown of the head, right above the eyes. Kenzaki's target was right behind the nose to shut Orochi's mouth, that was our previous arrangement.

It took a few dozens of seconds before Orochi recovered.

The duo had plenty of time to nail the lance with their full power.

「RYOKO-CHAN, I DID IT!」

「Randou, you cannot miss this!」

After confirming that both lances were nailed properly, Class Rep and Randou-san ran toward Orochi with their enchanted weapon in hand.

「――『Ice Fortis Sagita(Freezing Spear)』」

「――『Terra Fortis Sagita(Rock Spear)』」

Both invoked advanced rank magic.

It was their strongest spell at this point but, its power raised even further due to the effect of the sealing lance.

The magic circle that became the starting point of the spell was right on top of the sealing lance.

A giant, freezing icicle appeared from the magic circle of 『ce Fortis Sagita(freezing spear)』

CRASH!

Along with a loud breaking sound, the 『Sealing Lance?Frozen』 increased in size. It became twice as big as before.

That was only natural since the ice crystal that became the material for the 『Sealing Lance?Frozen』 was more than enough for Class Rep to cast 『Ice Fortis Sagita(freezing spear)』 a few more times.

And that amount of magical power was put into the invoked attack magic.

The same could be said for Randou-san, she could cast a few more 『Terra Fortis Sagita(Rock Spear)』 without breaking a sweat. Not to mention that it wasn't a rock, it was jet-black steel that was nailed into Orochi's head.

Okay, everything’s been perfect so far.

In short, a sealing lance was a disposable item made to enhance the effect of magic.

Both Class Rep and Randou-san had splendid offensive magic but, their spell was too small to nail train-sized Orochi's head on the ground.

Not to mention that both of them couldn't use such powerful skills in succession. Thus, the head might have fully recovered if they were to use their skill normally.

That's why we needed to nail the head to the ground first.

We had done many experiments to see if we could strengthen the spell with the prototype of the sealing lance, but the quality couldn't be compared with the real thing. The down side was the fact that it took a lot of time and materials to make sealing lance. And yet, they kept breaking upon use, making them pretty much a disposable weapon. Thus, we couldn't do too many tests.

Though the small prototype worked really well, I was still skeptical whether the real thing would work just as well but… It turned out to be baseless worry.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR……
