Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 106
Dungeon Capture (5)
Carla Lester, taking advantage of a gap in the battle, went to the altar of the spirits alone, and seeing this, Clara Dandol and the crown prince also ran out to the altar.
[Bummoooh!!!]
Red Ox, in a state of excitement, followed them, and to stop them, I, alone, started following behind them. But I couldn’t reach them in time. Carla, who seemed to be using body reinforcement, was not a problem, but at this rate, Red Ox would catch up with the crown prince and the others before I could catch up with them.
“–[Shadow Pain]–!”
I quickly fired [Shadow Pain] at Red Ox’s back. However, Red Ox, who was in a state of excitement, only shook for a moment, but its legs did not stop.
I could catch up to it with that “technique” using pure magic, but it was still impossible to kill a Rank 5 Red Ox with a single blow. I judged that as my thoughts were accelerated by the physical reinforcement and released multiple magic at the same time to stop it.
“[Illusion], [Heavy]!”
Letting the weightless [Illusion] precede and cross in front of Red Ox to hinder it, and using [Heavy] to increase Red Ox’s own weight.
Still, a few tenths of a second…that’s all either of them could do to slow it down. But in those precious tenths of a second, I was barely “in range”.
“–[Shadow Walk]–“
I connected my magical element to the Red Ox and shifted into its “shadow”, I leaped out of the shadow and thrust my black dagger into its thick neck.
[Bummoooh!!!!]
But the muscles in its neck were too strong for me to penetrate it.
While my body was blown away by the swinging head, I wrapped the string of the pendulum around its horns, flew back through the air like an acrobat, and gave Red Ox a powerful knee kick in the nose.
[Gaaaaaah!?!!]
Red Ox spurted blood from his nose as he bent over backwards, and a slight glimmer of reason returned to his eyes. But in exchange, I realized that all of Red Ox’s anger was now directed only at me.
“…”
I was in combat with Rank 5 at full force, but it diverted Red Ox’s consciousness away from the crown prince and toward me. Originally, I had planned to let them make it to the altar if there was an opening. Now I had to fight it alone because of them, but that’s okay…
Red Ox, I’d deal with you.
[Buuuuuooooh!!!]
“Haaaaah!!!”
I would fight with all my might from the start. I was going to give it all I’ve got.
Red Ox slammed the halberd into me, closing in at a frightening speed.
I enhanced the accuracy of my physical reinforcement with the magical element that I had purified to the limit of what my body could withstand, and avoided Red Ox’s attack with a single stroke of the paper.
At this level of purity, the effect was only marginal, but without that slight difference, Rank 5’s attack would be unavoidable.
“–[Illusion]–“
Refracting light to dazzle the figure, I threw out a [Heavy Type] pendulum.
[Guaaaah!]
Red Ox instantly gave up trying to dodge the blurring flying crossed weights, and flicked them away with his horns with a casual shake of his head.
Red Ox’s halberd swung to cleave me as I dazzled in a blur. I dodged it as if I were jumping over it, and slipping under its feet, I threw the knife I had pulled out of the slit at it from directly below.
[Buuuuuooooh!]
Red Ox’s huge body, which was over two meters tall, lightly flew in the air.
Having evaded the knife by escaping upwards, Red Ox smirked as he looked down at me sliding on the ground, and threw down his left halberd to me.
“Ha!”
At that moment, I evaded the halberd as I rolled across the floor, using my back muscles to leap and roll, and immediately threw and wrapped the thread of the pendulum around Red Ox’s leg in midair.
Red Ox noticed my actions, and kicked me in the air together with the string.
Not yet. The thread was still connected to Red Ox.
“–[Shadow Walk]–!”
I connected the magic element I’d poured into the thread and “cross” behind Red Ox instantly.
“Huh!!!”
[Bummoooh!!!]
My elbow, which Red Ox had already noticed and counterattacked, intersected with my kick, the heel blade scraped Red Ox’s cheek, and the elbow strike sent my whole body flying.
Red Ox and I fell to the ground at the same time. Still damaged, I lost my position and fell to one knee, and Red Ox saw the opening and, without hesitation, threw another halberd at me.
I couldn’t lose–but–!
Clank!!!
Several knives flying from the side hit the halberd, slightly deflecting its trajectory, and the halberd flew past me.
“Aria, are you okay!”
“Thank God, Viro.”
Viro, who had caught up with me, quickly threw me a knife. He rushed to stand in front of me to protect me, and when I got up, Red Ox had also retrieved the halberd he had first thrown and was pointing it at us.
Viro’s arrival made it easier for us to win, but even so, Viro and I did not have the “decisive edge” to defeat him.
The only reason I was able to beat the orc general, even at the last minute, was because Gorgeol had taken that “technique” head-on.
So, what to do? Before I could answer that question, the battle situation had begun to change drastically.
[Bummoooh!!!]
“Blue Ox”-the cry of the Minotaur Murder roared out, and we saw it coming toward us. …No, no, Blue Ox was going after the crown prince and his fiancées.
“He’s supposed to be guarding that altar!”
Viro’s guess was probably correct; he did not know about Red Ox or Blue Ox, but the dungeon boss, Minotaur Murder, was most likely trained to guard that altar.
“Viro, Aria! Stop him, just for a second!”
Dalton and the others following close behind give the order. It was a rather reckless order, but even so, Viro, who had known him for a long time, immediately made his move.
“No choice!!! Aria, take the red one in tow!”
A [Heavy Type] Pendulum exploded into the side of Red Ox’s head as he tried to chase after Viro, who had jumped out.
[Buuooooooh!]
“I won’t let you go!”
But could Viro stop him alone? Dalton first ordered everyone but himself and Feld to stay away because we, as Rank 4s, were in danger of being killed instantly by a Rank 6 attack.
Viro smiled faintly at Blue Ox as he rushed toward him, and threw a ball the size of a fist from his pack, which exploded right in front of Blue Ox as he tried to shake it off with his arm.

*Dooon!!!
[Bummoooh!!!].
Blue Ox, his face burnt by the massive number of flames that overflowed, cried out in agony.
“How’s that! How’s the taste of the “secret ingredient” from the dungeon that costs five large gold coins!”
Perhaps it was the same “poison ball” that Samantha had mentioned earlier, a loot from the dungeon. However, what was contained in the ball was not poison, but rather a Level 5 fire magic [Fireball], judging from the power of the ball.
“Are you two all right?
Feld caught up to Blue Ox and slammed his great sword into him, causing a spray of blood to erupt from the Ox’s back.
“–[Aim Shot]–“
Next, Mira also unleashed a [Combat Skill] of archery, piercing Blue Ox’s neck.
“Woooooo!!!”
Dalton, the last to catch up, jumped in and swung his huge mithril war hammer and slammed it into Blue Ox’s head with all his might.
*Gagin!!!!
One of the Blue Ox’s twisted horns was shattered in midair.
But no… it broke… Blue Ox used its own horn to catch Dalton’s attack.
[Gaaaah…]
Blue Ox, who had been shot through with an arrow, had his back slashed, and broken his horn, but managed to catch the attack, stared at Dalton with a glare on his burned face, and then with the battleaxe in his hand, he shot Dalton away with a single blow.
“Dalton!!!”
Feld stepped forward to protect Dalton, who was blown away, and Blue Ox unleashed a powerful kill and roar as if to blow away everything in his way.
[Buuuuuooooh!!!!!]
“Guh!”
A battleaxe swung sideways and bounced several meters from Feld’s huge body, who had quickly used his great sword as a shield.
“Damn!”
As soon as Viro came into view, Blue Ox swung his battleaxe and its shockwave cleaved him.
The moment I saw the situation and was about to jump out, Red Ox, whom I had been holding in check until then, attacked me as if I were in his way.
[Buuuuuooooh!!!]
“!!”
*Clank!!!!
My knife and halberd, which I swung at once, made a metallic sound, and I, who was light in weight, was blown away.
“Aria! Everyone!”
Mira grabbed a few arrows and drew her bow at the danger to her friends. But this chaos and melee also attracted another demon that was fighting at a distance.
[Bummoooh!!!]
I saw the Blue Ox charging excitedly at the knights as they reeled them in.
“…”
So, Blue Ox was coming here too….
But what to do. Mira was somehow trying to hold Blue Ox back, but neither Dalton nor Feld could stand up yet.
Viro, who was hit by the shockwave, also noticed it and started to move to stop Blue Ox, but he, along with me, has no trump card to defeat Rank 5.
“…”
I swallowed the spit that tasted like blood, and as I held up my black knife and dagger, I decided to “prepare” for their refusal to give up.
I was already prepared to get hurt and to die. But I was not.
[Gaaaah…]
Perhaps sensing my “resolve,” Red Ox stopped for a moment, as if on guard.
I would surely kill you alone. Even if my body was shattered, even if I was left with only my head, even if I had to bite off your horn, I was prepared to kill you, Red Ox.
“Haaaaah!!!!”
I screamed out as if I were squeezing out my lungs, and while running around with my increased purity of magical elements, I pulled my whole body like a bow to use my “primordial combat skill”.
[Buuuuuooooh!]
Red Ox saw this and tried to leap out with his halberd poised in both hands.
Out of the corner of my eye, Carla caught the “Altar of Spirits” and just before she touched it, she grinned at me for a moment.
My weapon and Red Ox’s weapon simultaneously leapt out and aimed at each other’s hearts, and just as our blades were about to pierce each other, a white light suddenly overflowed from the “altar” and enveloped the entire arena.
