Chapter 233.1. Supporting The Protagonist
As Shin advances towards Aegir, Flesh Golems stands in his way.
“Oaaa!”
The grudges from the depths of the earth seem to turn into a voice as the Flesh Golems swing their fists, aiming at Shin with rocket-like speed. However, Shin easily sidesteps the attack with a light step.
“They’re much faster than they look! Let’s be careful in this fight.”
Dodging the subsequent hooks by bending down, Shin counters by slashing horizontally across the Fresh Golem’s torso, leaving a deep wound. Flesh Golem staggers and stumbles.
“As expected of my onii-chan! Me too!”
[Ice Plant]
Cold air blows out from Tsuki’s hands, and icy vines creep along the ground. She’s freezing the feet of the surrounding Flesh Golems, immobilizing them.
“Now it’s time for me to show my power!”
[Golden Wolf Wind Fang Fist]
Adorned with a golden wolf aura, Elizabeth swiftly wields the daggers, cutting through Flesh Golems as she passes between them.
“Don’t stop moving! Attack the Fresh Golems!”
[Lotus Blade Dance]
With sword flashes tracing the path of flowers, Elizabeth dashes between Flesh Golems, spewing blood from her swift strikes.
However, the deep wounds inflicted on Flesh Golems begin to heal rapidly.
“This is… their wounds are healing!”
“They possess powerful regeneration abilities, big brother!”
“Ku, the revolutionary new technology from Menou Marquisate. It’s a formidable performance when not used against us. Sena-san’s Holy magic will be a help!”
Upon witnessing Flesh Golems’ abilities, Shin and the others are taken aback. But Elizabeth continues her adorable appeal as if she were a puppy.
Flesh Golems break the frozen ground under their feet and attempt to move again. If they get released from their restraints, it might be dangerous. Being level 50, they’re quite formidable.
What are their levels?
-Kanna Shin: Level 65, Weaknesses: Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, Wind, Darkness, Holy-
-Kanna Tsuki: Level 33-
-Menou Elizabeth: Level 34-
Tsuki and Elizabeth’s levels are as expected, but Shin’s level is too high.
… My theory about Shin splitting his level among the clones gets debunked. He indeed has many weaknesses, just as expected.
Yes, Shin has weaknesses to all attributes. In the original work, he was designed to be extremely vulnerable to other magic due to his Void attribute. That’s a typical protagonist trait.
In other words, the current Shin is undoubtedly the same as the protagonist Shin from the original work.
However, Shin alone cannot handle a large number of Flesh Golems. The area is filled with particles that suppress Holy magic, preventing Sena’s magic from helping them.
Facing the formidable Flesh Golems, Shin, and his companions are gradually pushed into a corner. Aegir laughs triumphantly… or so it seems. He’s staring directly at me. Just let your guard down You skeleton.
“This doesn’t look good, does it?”
“Yeah… we were saved in the forest, weren’t we?”
“Our mana is also recovering a bit.”
The first-year students start to get restless, wanting to join the rescue effort. It seems like the fun and games are coming to an end.
“Here I go! My mana has recovered quite a bit!”
Interrupting everyone’s conversation, Masatoshi stood up with a serious expression. From his hand, he tossed an empty mana potion bottle.
It seems he had prepared a rare mana potion. Quite the prepared man, I must say.
“If you guys join the rescue, you’ll only die in vain! In volume 4, the crisis at Menou Marquisate’s mansion, all you mob characters will end up dead!”
With his fiery red hair standing tall like blazing flames and a powerful smile, he shouted something about volume 4.
I remember now! It’s from the original volume 4, the attack on Menou Marquisate’s research facility, and the subsequent year-specific survival training.
Someone attacked Menou Marquisate’s research facility, and then during the survival training, the evil magician from Nidhogg appears, using that power.
It follows the same plot, except instead of an evil magician, it’s Aegir, which significantly raises the difficulty.
I see, it’s volume 4. It’s changed into a combined story with volume 1.
And if it follows the same plot, the first-year students trying to rescue Shin will be killed one after another. But with Shin’s efforts, they should be saved, and many first-year students will come to like Shin.
I see, so they want to prevent that. But how does this guy know about the original story?
Without noticing Mii-chan’s slightly dangerous expression, Masatoshi emitted flames from his body, waved his hand, and proudly puffed up his chest.
“I can fight better than all you small-fry combined!”
“Let’s leave it to Masatoshi-san here. The rest of us should withdraw and provide support from a distance!”
Though it’s annoying. If it’s Masatoshi, he can probably hold his own. Sena nodded strongly and tried to persuade the others.
Tch, let’s not probe too much, considering Sena’s request.
“Well then, let’s go!”
[Tempest]
Masatoshi, with an expectant and sloppy grin, bent his waist to join the fight, but lightning filled the air, piercing through Flesh Golems.
“What, w-who did that? Ruined my cool scene…”
“…Leave it to me. I’m fully rested, so my body is in top condition.”
Confused and looking around, Masatoshi noticed the drowsy girl riding on Guu-chan’s back, her hand stretched, confidently puffing up her chest.
