Chapter 39: Flashing Strike 2

Right before Hajime gave his signal, Rihito pondered what kind of attack he should do. At first, he wanted to do a large-scale Magic attack like draconic thunder. But he didn't feel right using Yue's spell, he wanted to do something that only he could do. So, for inspiration, he decides to open his status to get an idea.

"..."

I was surprised when I saw that my status had increased. It seemed that my previous fight against Tohru and using <Archmage > at its current potential had pushed my status higher. This was an unexpected but welcome result. Then, I noticed one of my skills' names, and I involuntarily said, "<Flashing Strike>."

"..."

My eyes lit up seeing this and excitement "Yes! I got it, it will be perfect for this occasion." I grinned looking at the incoming monster army.

At that moment, Hajime pointed his index finger at the sky, signalling to me. I quickly made sure that none of my attacks would harm Shea, Tohru, Hajime, and the others. Then, I began to move. With each step, I created multiple shock waves that distorted the sky, creating sounds of explosions. Finally, I directed all the shock waves onto the monster army and released them.

"Booom!"

"Booom!" x5

"Booom!" x25

"Booom!" x50

From the sky, I witnessed the complete destruction of the monster army. They were unable to fight or flee, it was a one-sided slaughter. Strangely, I didn't feel anything as I watched. I still remember the day I first killed two knights – back then, I felt guilty. But now, compared to that, the current me felt nothing. "I guess it's the effect of <Super Adaptable Body> and <Blank >," I pondered to myself.

After wiping out the first wave, I then used Teleportation Magic to vanish from the sky and appear beside Tohru and Shea. Tohru sensing someone behind her instantaneously turned around ready to attack, but seeing it was Rihito she stopped and welcomed me.

"Master Rihito you are back."

On the other hand, Shea was too absorbed in the desolate scene before her to notice her surroundings. Rihito, seeing her so off guard, got the urge to prank her, but because of the current situation, he held back his urges.

On the side, Hajime pulled out a Gatling gun called 'Metzelei.' it has six barrels that are capable of firing 12000, 30mm calibre rounds a minute. Hajime noticed me, and said "That was quite the attack you did there," he said pointing at the battlefield.

"Still there are more monsters we have to deal with, you sure you are not out of juice, are you?" he questioned.

"Don't worry I have plenty of juice left, I can do this all day," I responded with a slight humour.

Hajime nodded and looked ahead, waiting for the second wave of monsters to get closer.

Yue who was silent until now suddenly asks, "Why did you do this." She said pointing at Aiko who was surrounded by the volunteer group.

Upon hearing Yue's question, Tohru became curious. She didn't understand why everything had to be so complicated. If it were up to her, she would simply get rid of all the bothersome things, just like the last time, although that didn't end well.

"You see if we did this on our own, the church would try to recruit us, and you already know it would end us rejecting whatever they offer," saying that Rihito asked her a question. "What do you think they would do after we reject them?"

Yue understanding what I meant to say, nodded, "So, we are using Aiko to delay the church's decision-making."

"Exactly, Sensei is already known to people as the goddess of fertility. We are just using it, and correspondingly, her influence in common people will increase."

From there, Hajime took over speaking. "That's not all. We can say that the large-scale magic we use here is all the goddess's powers, and it should only be used righteously. Thus, gaining the approval of the masses. After this, even if the church declares us heretics, some people might start to doubt the church."

Yue, Tio and Tohru nodded understanding the situation. Just then, Shea called out, "Rihito, Hajime, more monsters are coming!" There, we witnessed the second wave of monsters crossing the forest with ferocious expressions, running toward the city.

"..."

Tio saw this, and suddenly she got an idea to impress Hajime, so she spoke up, "Master, do you mind if I proceed with a first attack?"

To which Hajime responded with a pause "What, you are still here?"

Hearing the response Tio started to pant and tremble. She then shook her head focused her magic power on her hands and concentrated it into a magic ball. She then fired a magic attack reminiscing of her dragon breath attack. The attack directly obliterated a portion of the monsters in seconds. Taking that as a trigger everyone started the fight.

Following Tio's attack, Hajime readied his 'Metzelei,' pointing it at the incoming monster army and started to fire. Each of his 30mm bullets pierces through a monster without any resistance, mowing down a large number of monsters.

Shea, fighting from long range, switched her Drucken to cannon mode and unleashed a barrage of missiles at the monsters. Each one tore through a chunk of their ranks.

As for Yue, she targeted a large group of monsters from the side and used a new powerful spell called "Great Destruction" to get rid of a large number of monsters at the same time. Two dark blue square-shaped objects appeared above the monsters and crushed everything, creating two square-shaped pits in the middle of the battlefield.

Booom!!!

Crackle!!

While Tohru and I took care of all the flying monsters. With each of my swings, I diced flocks of Hyverias. Tohru charged forward and either punched or crushed them with her new gauntlets, ending up completely drenched in the monsters' blood.

"..."

She ignores the blood and charges towards another flock crushing them similarly. I then also focused on clearing the sky, with my speed and shock waves the sky began to clear out.

…

From the city of Ull Aiko's students were witnessing the complete massacre of the monster army. "That's amazing, how are they so strong?" Tamai muttered in astonishment. Other students of Aiko also wanted to know the answer to that question but surely there is a price to pay for that much power. So they refrain from asking.

While most of them thinking along those lines, Yuka was looking at one individual in particular, thinking [Hajime, He is protecting us.]

…

Rihito, after cleaning up the sky, flew near Tohru who was completely drenched in the blood of monsters. Seeing her like this I said, "Hey Tohru, your clothes are getting dirty. Let me help you clean them up." saying that I used <Cleanse >.

While I was cleaning her up, she said, "Ah... you don't have to worry about that. You see, my clothes are actually my scales. I just used shapeshifting on my scales to give them the appearance I wanted. I can just lick them clean as I normally do"

"..."

I ignored the latter statement. I thought, [Shapeshifting, she has that skill,] Hearing that skill's name my eyes lit up. I was about to ask her to show me how the skill works. But then we heard a booming noise from the ground.

"..."

Rihito witnessed two square-shaped masses of magic slamming on top of the monsters, creating two pits. After seeing this display of magic, Rihito thought, [Gravity magic, huh?] He scanned the whole battlefield and found that there were only 7091 monsters left, a significant reduction from the original number. Although the battle seemed to be successful, they still needed to finish the job. With the thought of examining the shapeshifting skill in the back of his head, Rihito headed to where Hajime and Shea were fighting on the battlefield.

…
