Chapter 234.2. Not Quite The Same Aegir Like In The Novel

High Liches, dissolving like missing teeth, roar and regroup, shifting from defense to attack.
“Grrah!”
High Liches close the distance to Frigg-oneesan in just a few steps, attacking with their glaives simultaneously.
[Cursed Lancer]
High Liches thrust their magic spears relentlessly, impossible to evade. The miasma-infused spearheads attempt to pierce Frigg-oneesan like a porcupine.
“Heheh, pointless.”
[Prophecy]
With a confident smile, the beautiful goddess activates her Absolute Evasion skill. All of the glaives headed for Frigg-oneesan are twisted by the world’s laws, passing harmlessly by without making contact.
“Oh, how unfortunate? Miss, miss, miss.”
Playfully displaying a provocative smile, she redirects her submachine gun towards High Liches, who have stumbled after she evaded their attacks.
Gunshots ring out, and several more High Liches disappear as bullets pierce through them.
Even with their comrades falling, the undead legion shows no fear or disturbance, mechanically transitioning to counterattack.
Twisting their body and spinning it around, High Liches swing their glaives horizontally.
Demonstrating her agility, Frigg-oneesan sways and narrowly dodges their attack.
Capitalizing on this opening, High Liches follow up with a coordinated strike from both sides, their swift slashes cutting through space, an impressive yet unavoidable assault. Nonetheless, Frigg-oneesan’s confident smile remains unwavering.
[Stealth]
Her body blurs and disappears like a mirage, thanks to her skill.
As she vanishes and attacks slice through empty air, High Liches quickly scan their surroundings, only to have a gun muzzle pressed against their face.
“Is it my turn now?”
[Circle Blitz]
With a light pull of the trigger, Frigg-oneesan spins her body. Countless bullets are released, creating a tornado that engulfs High Liches, shattering and defeating them like a mixer.
In the blink of an eye, she reduces the enemies by half and offers a smile to Miu.
“Now, leave this to me and go ahead, young lady. By the way, I have full ownership of the drops from these defeated ones.”
Elegantly dodging further attacks from High Liches, Frigg-oneesan delivers a kick that sends one flying, engaging in combat while waving her hand.
It seems like there won’t be any sneak attacks this time.
“Alright, alright. In that case, I’ll go ahead!”
“If the enemy summons more pawns, I’ll let you know!”
“Okay!”
With a resigned smile and a nod, she follows Miu’s lead and races down the tunnel to pursue Aegir.
“You can’t escape from my grasp, so give up already~!”
For now, she shouts as I chase. MY cute voice echoes through the tunnel, but I’m a bit slow in pursuit, as there’s no response.
No matter how I run, the space distorts, making escape impossible.
It might be a good idea to give up and choose to fight, but it’s quite bone-headed for a boss. With quick steps, I continue through the tunnel.
And so, she arrives at another large cavern from the tunnel.
“What’s this place?”
The ceiling is unusually high. Is it a hundred meters?
Tall stalactite pillars rise to support the ceiling, and the cave is so vast that the depths are obscured. The cave exudes cold air and an eerie atmosphere.
It’s even more spacious than a dome. It’s too large for a mine dungeon. Could this be the dungeon boss room?
Observing my surroundings with curiosity, I walk on. It would be nice if it’s a dead-end.
I walk on the chilled obsidian-like floor. It would hurt if I fell, but it fits the dim cave atmosphere.
As I walk around, I hear footsteps coming from the depths.
“What’s amusing?”
“Huh?”
Holding my mace, I react to the female voice from the depths, narrowing my eyes cautiously. Who’s there? It’s not Aegir’s voice.
“You must have found it quite amusing?”
“Hmm?”
She reacts to the female voice from the depths, cautiously narrowing her eyes. Who’s there? It’s not Eiger’s voice.
“I see you can’t help but smile. You’ve never seen such an outrageous performance, have you?”
The voice is like that of a beautiful canary, yet it carries an aura of strength that heightens her caution.
“Could you tell me who you are? I’m Takano Miu!”
“Hehehe, hello Takano Miiu. Nice to meet you.”
Slowly, a woman materializes from the darkness. She wears a pitch-black long coat and a hood, concealing her face.
Beside her, Aegirr walks weakly, swaying like a ghost.
“And your name, miss?”
“With this appearance, you should already know, shouldn’t you?”
Shaking my head, I deny it.
“I don’t judge based on preconceptions. You might be a look-alike!”
I’ve seen this form before. In the original, in the anime, and the game, it’s the same appearance, but I’m not entirely convinced.
“Well, you’re right about that. Then, let me introduce myself. I’m the Spatial Witch, who lives for eternity.”
The woman slightly nods, loosens her lips, and playfully reveals her identity as if understanding.
“So, what did you think? Of that poorly executed school play?”
“Are you the director, miss? If so, can you spare some time for me to share my thoughts?”
Takano Miu points her mace at the Spatial Witch and smiles.
It seems an unexpected enemy has appeared. This could be interesting.
