Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]-Chapter 588Vol. 11 - - Great Sorcerer Saturn’s Trump Card

"Don't get in my line of fire for darn sake, Jilong!"

"Tch! Just do it, Saturn!"

"Can you stop treating me like a pawn and push me here or there! «Twin Flare»! «Flare Burst»!"

After drowning in the cacophony of their own making, Jilong dodged sideways to create the path for Saturn's offense.

He had just stepped away when the two flame bullets, spinning, cut through the air he was standing, followed by another skill attack—«Flare Burst»—and both skills swallowed the opponent. Incidentally, Flare Burst was at level 10 since this was Saturn's favourite skill, albeit Zephyr had been taken aback when he heard about it.

" I will tackle those two flames! «Shield Flow»!"

"«Guard»! —Gaaaahhhh!!"

Tomoyo handled the Twin Burst with her shields, deflecting the attacks, however swordsman vanguard couldn't contend against «Flare Burst» and was sent flying. Consequently, he even ended up knocking the rearguard behind, and that broke the team's formation.

"How did it taste, eh? Tom, where's Helck!?"

After taking a jab at opponent, Saturn to Tom.

"He is eliminated!"

Tom gave the axe in his hand a swinge, and screamed, his tone laced with regret and fury. Jilong appeared just as shaken, but he gripped the two handed broadsword tightly to divert that feeling, and kept himself focused.

Rina's command was too perfect for their team to cope against, and this ultimately sniped out Helck.

"Helck...Heck... Hehe, how dare you all do that to Helck! Unforgivable! Tom, act with me. We're going all-out here!"

"Let's do it!"

Accepting that it was too late to lament, and seething in bubbling rage, Jilong and Tom unleashed their unique skill/

"Unique Skill—«Secret Technique - Giant Decapitation»!"

"Unique Skill—«Tyrannical Axe - Action Axe»!"

With their respective weapons clad in the special effect of unique skill, the two charged at the opponent.

Of course, the other side wasn't going to take it lying down. And promptly, Rina passed her command.

"Tomoyo-san, it's up to you to block them!"

"Understood! Unique Skill—«Defense Burst»!"

The task landed on two-handed shielder Tomoyo.

She stepped forward, helding big shield equipped on both hands, and held them forward, one each in the direction of Jilong and Tom respectively to create a blockade. (T/N - Alright, this might need correction. It appears Tomoyo is a twin shield user, not a two-handed shield user. I will correct them ASAP.)

«Defense Burst»: Unique skill. For a limited duration, 90% of the total damage would be negated toward the user, and adds knockback resistance.

It was a solid defense skill that provided a precise cover. Furthermore, it was also a skill with clear duration instead of like the 'effect would wear off after one attack' thing. But, until the duration wore off, it also locked the opponent to focus on defense entirely.

Tom and Jilong's strongest attack clashed against Tomoyo's shields.

"Haaaaaa—aaaargh?!"

"W-what the heck in the name of defense?!"

Tom and Jilong let out a stupefied shriek. They were sure their joint attack would decimate the opponent's tank, but Tomoyo only lost 20% of her HP. The unexpected situation left the two's mouths ajar.

But little they know—or they should've known—the battlefield wasn't the best place to keep oneself's emotion on face.

"It's your cue, everyone!"

"«Ball Axe»!!"

"«Icicile Javelin»!"

"Arrgh!"

"Gaahhh!"

And their lack of attention clearly met the opposition's heavy handed move.

One of the opponent team members, a male student, took a swing with his battle axe and slammed it against Jilong. Jilong's body bend into く shape from the shape as he was blown away, and rolled on the floor.

Tom also couldn't escape from a ice attribute magic attack, and took huge damage.

"Jilooong! Toooom! How, how dare you?! You will pay for it—«Mega Flare»! —«Flare Impulse»!"

"I have it covered!! «Material Shield»!!"

"What?! Darn you!"

Saturn replied to their aggression with his own offense. But he couldn't even leave a scratch on his opponent as Tomoyo warded his attack.

"Rgh, we're stuck. Tom! Buy me some time, just a bit!"

"Heh? Very well. Leave it to me, Saturn!"

Under Rina's command and number superiority, <Best of the Best, the Great Star> found themselves cornered to a point of no return. Saturn rummaged his knowledge to ponder what other options they had in their current situation, while he had Tom kept the opponent team at bay. He walked up to Jilong position and inquired.

"Hey, Jilong?! Can you still follow along?"

"Fufu, that's a rather strange question to ask. You should know that many scratches are nothing compared to dent Zephyr leaves on us."

"Of course. So, I am saying we don't have many options left. I will join vanguard!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Fufu, so you are going to use that? You know that's a crazy move?"

"What else we have left, eh? Opponent's tank is too solid for my long-range attack to affect them. The only thing that can give us an advantage is that."

"Are you sure? You know this means you will be sitting out of the match?"

"Haa, I have my determination. So, I hope you can continue the rest, Jilong."

"......Fine. It's the guildmaster's privilege to act on their whim sometime."

Jilong raised himself up, and twisted his lips in a fierce grin as he glanced at Saturn, his expression uncharacteristically adorned with a somber expression. After a short catchup, they're like two different people, their usual goofy aura nowhere to be found.

They'd lost Helck. And this was the first time they'd been so badly cornered since their battle with Zephyr (—or, that's how they think.) Saturn recalled the memory of suffering, and remarked with a determined expression.

"I had asked Zephyr to prepare it for a hypothetical scenario, so I honestly never expected this to become our lifeline. Hahaha. Now that I recall, I have never gave it a trial run."

"Fufu, funny thing to say, but we can't afford a test run now, you know, right?"

"Of course. Alright, I will go ahead."

Saturn remarked, and took out an item.

It appeared to be a glove—a right-hand glove to be precise, and was made of leather. At the back of the palm, it also had a big, shiny gem inlaid.

This was Saturn's trump card, and he immediately wore it on his right hand.

He turned his gaze ahead, just in time to see Tom having his final moment as a re-arranged alliance’s defense squad crushed him with their momentum.

"«Ice Crystal»!"

"I am————"

"Now two more to go."

"Hmph, underestimate this venerable and you will receive your retribution."

Saturn stepped forward, while Jilong remained on the backline, taking a stance to take action any moment. It was a reverse formation from earlier.

Saturn then turned the back side of glove in the direction of his opponent, and broke into a dash.

"Haaaa!!"

He screamed to inspire himself, and also turned the wand's tip in the opponent's direction, while charging forward. Gradually, a red glow enveloped his glove, and the shade just continued to turn darker.

"He's trying to crash on us!"

"—!! He must be planning something!"

"Heh, you realised at last? But it's too late!"

The crystal inlaid in Saturn's glove radiated a fierce red shine, as if it was on fire.

"Come forth, and manifest. My determination, my will! The strongest blow of a magician—«Prominence Nova»!"

"H-hurry and take him down!"

Tomoyo was the first one to pick up an unsettling sigh, and hurriedly pushed her two shields forward, and called out to attackers. They might have easily taken a defend-and-counterattack attitude, but Tomoyo's mind was blaring with alarm, as she had realised this was an attack she must avoid.

Attacker seemingly caught up on it too, as he held his battle axe, and hacked it toward Saturn, and activated his skill.

"«Mega Indestructible Axe»!"

Immediately, Attacker's battle axe evoked an effect of skill.

It would be impossible for Saturn to defend against it with his paper-thin armor. But, he didn't flinch at the approaching elimination.

And it was Saturn's whatever technique was invoked first.

He tightly held the wand in his hand, and soon, even the wand had the same fiery red glow.

The glove was called the «Glove of Explosion». Its effect was simple; the glove would consume user's every single bit of MP, causing it to go out of control and trigger a massive explosion.

Damage was entirely dependent on consumed MP, and INT. However, there was a significant drawback. The user will be rendered unable to fight after the explosion, and even in a dungeon, they can't be revived. This massive disadvantage was what makes the power of the explosion so immense.

In essence, it was—suicide bombing. Oh, and the glove had no skill name, «Prominence Nova» was something he made up.

Anyway, why Saturn resorted to such a destructive method? Well, like, just a bit, and it was reaaaaly tiny bit, Saturn had vaguely felt he would be unable to put effort in this match.

So he requested Zephyr if there was a way he could gain great power. He wouldn't mind even if the end result was himself being rendered useless to fight anymore. In fact, and he hadn't expressed that to anyone else, he was honestly surprised that there existed such suicidal move where it was impossible to revive from down condition too.

Anyway, this was indeed a great time to go through this.

All the opponent's party members, a total of nine students, were closely huddled together. In short, they're gathered in a single point. So it would mean he could simply engulf everyone in his explosion.

And once he self-destructs along with opponent, Jilong could eliminate Rina.

It was a high-stakes gamble, but one that had great potential.

"It is, but the last twinkle of my life here! But remember, I am the one and only, «Great Sorcerer» Saturn! I leave the rest to you, Jilong! —«Prominence Nova»!"

Saturn had just chanted the name when the red brilliance instantly spread out, causing a huge explosion.

The force behind the explosion was so destructive that it brought down the entire HP of Fortress along with itself. Albeit, it also destroyed a portion of the corridor, and that became a blockage that cut off Jilong from Rina.
