Chapter 25: There should be a skill or something for piercing plot armor, right?
This here isn't an RPG where the demon lord will send guys around your level to kill you.
Demons for example, do not normally have levels or classes, but they've been assimilated into the system by now, and now they can choose their classes when registering for this world. Their levels and skill levels are determined by the amount of mana used to summon their temporary bodies.
Miss 63 should be as powerful as any level 100 berserker with martial arts knowledge from a giant race.
That was why Aki directly cannoned her to the female's bathing area.
"Remember you get a bonus if you kill the girl with long black hair. If she survives then you won't be able to use her though."
She licked her lips and started a guttural scream while in a direct arc for the river full of soldiers around her level.
Female knights aren't the dream of orcs only.
Well, let me explain, Bar… they have 55 people. One level 200, four 100+ and the rest between 50 and 100. Plus the hero and his attendant.
Not really a considerable fighting force against the rain of demons. Most have a similar or higher level than miss 63, since she has so many skills, so the guards didn't exactly know what to do when the first five fiends appeared together with the platforms they used to receive less damage from being shot.
Of course, traveling some kilometers in a few seconds doesn't exactly help with your balance, but that's why the fiends were shot first. Their the only ones that actually need something like that, and it would be so much harder to get everything done if they couldn't literally change the platform's trajectory just with the strength of their feet.
What I mean with that is:
"""""BOOOOM"""""
They're the only ones capable of being used as real cannon balls and survive. Such stunt got him ten kills. Two fiends died though. The guy that is level 200 has some real skill with the sword. To cut down "canon balls" almost at mack one…
Aki didn't give them much time to think. He started teleporting to other pre set places and firing the other twenty shots. The succubi, beholders and hellhounds were all shot at the direction of the hero. The stalkers were shot at locations less protected so they could cause havoc with their own ways.
Uhm? You wanna know how is he shooting demons through solid rock and actually making hits? You stupid or something? Never heard of clairvoyance and heat vision? The basic scrying spells most moderately talented mages learn?
Besides, the only ones that were really "cannon balls" were the fiends, since using a capsule to penetrate the rock formation wouldn't be so effective with their massive bodies and fighting styles.
An even better question now.
How many spells can a psychotic isekai otaku, with huge mana reserves in his storage, enchant into twenty specially made human sized bullets during a fifty minute interval? Tip: he can enchant five at the same time because the enchantment would be different only between species of the shoot demons.
The answer? More than eight… hundred. Around forty per shot. As to how much money did he just toast in one time consumables, you might want to check the comments of a general of the army of a certain border town full of witches.
Suffice to say: "Each of these is worth a hundred times your life, so don't miss!". Though this time, instead of exploding they are supposed to allow for temporary transportation of troops resilient enough. And full of magic cores instead of snow… I mean, gunpowder. Seriously, look into release that witch, the manwa is trash, but the novel is pure gold. Until a certain point, then it starts operating in a scale that not everyone will like, but it's quite good.
After launching the demons off, you might imagine that Aki would either retread or teleport into the fight, but you'd be wrong.
He actually started flying upwards while carrying two cannons with telekinesis, he fused then, which took about a minute, and took a mana potion plus a giant bullet twice the size of the ones used before. He got the potion not because he was running out of mana from the things before, but because the bullet actually took so much Mp to take out that he normally wouldn't be able too.
Of the remaining two "VIPs" in the cave, who do you think this is aiming at? The level 200 guy, right? There's no need of something as big as this to kill the hero.
Go back to reading some Japanese novels if you fell for that, because this is such a basic rule that it should be well known by true experts. Not everyone can actually kill the hero.
The demon lord or the anti hero are the only ones capable of such in special circumstances. Such as when they are madly determined to kill because someone they love is in danger.
Even if this guy is resurrected, it won't be until their sub healer gets to a very high level. After all, you thought the hero of kindness was the tanker or something?
"The moment you get in there, teleport and go for the kill. If you don't, then your brother will die. If you hesitate, someone may find a shity reason to kidnapt him themselves. This is not a place for mistakes. We have to make a show. If possible take his head, heart and liver, or balls. Those will do too. We just need a trophy."
"Ok"
"You're pissed. That's great. Now, use that. Even if a sword cuts your head open, ignore it, I will heal you. Whatever attack isn't from the hero won't work. Focus all that Wrath on him. Use it. Get what you deserve."
At the end Aki was even infusing magic in his words, a kind of hypnosis in case she loses consciousness. She didn't though. The moment she heard about what was needed, coldness filled her heart.
It was a totally new feeling for her, as if the burning fire of rage was put off so something else could take its place. No, the fire was still there, burning brighter than ever, the thorny ice was just encompassing it and feeding on the heat, turning even colder. So cold it burned.
Now, that makes zero sense right? Well, it's just like she is so pissed she reached a new height on the thermometer. A negative one. What she felt was pure and cold killing intent.
She wasn't killing for the exercise, excitement or because she was ordered to, it just needed to be done.
For the part of feeding on the flame, it means that she has tamed her anger. Yes, that makes sense, since that is literally, the only path a berserker can take if he or she wishes to remain sane.
A bottomless pit of fury and rage that burn whatever it touches, needs the right equipment for collection and use.
The thing is just that such equipment can easily make any fearless man piss their panties out of fear whenever glanced at.
One of the reasons Aki had to hold his loved sister inside his storage, inside a huge capsule that cannot be easily opened in any way. It was both needed to keep her alive inside the storage and to keep her from doing something too stupid.
It was also for the fact that with this he could literally shoot anger at those people below then.
Such statements can easily be comprovated by the fact that even the almost fearless demons stopped when they heard her screaming from inside of the just landed capsule.
It was as if they were hearing the roar of a higher existence than themselves for the first time all over again.
Then came the sound of something very hard hitting metal. Then it started to bulge. Then a hole was made and only three people could see the silhouette of waist long red hair following behind blood red eyes in a face full of red marks that looked like tribal painting.
Aki recognized what she had done and started spamming healing spells on her while getting closer to the fight at top speed.
Alexander, the one level 200 guy, was horrified, but immediately tried to intercept the beastly pounce to the champion of light.
Miss 63 got a very questionable boner.
-Decapitate!
-Warrior's soul!
-Pseudo counter!
Respectively, those were one of Alexander's finishing moves, an invocation of a divine spirit from Shinji, which would turn into a stupidly powerful entity for a limited amount of time, can only be used once per month, and Aki teleporting there on the last second to take the hit for Guilda.
The scene was very, very fast, so allow me to slow it down for a bit.
First, there was a sound of glass breaking and screams. That came from the divine spirit. He didn't die, but got gutted by a giant dark spear of void, pre set.
Then Aki's arm started being cut in the middle vertically, but the sword's blade shattered a little before hitting his shoulder blade. Pain resistance II is really useful for this, you have to admit. The sword broke because he was using lots of parts of his body as an enchantment base for hardening and corrosive spells and the metal couldn't take it.
Then Guilda's attack landed. More like, she bit into the Shinji's neck and ripped his head off together with part of his spine.
While the swordsman was shocked and was still struggling to react, Aki punched the man on the chest. It was very fast even for the normal him. His punches also don't normally explode his arms. That's the effect of Anger II. The enchanted mithril alloy bent in and the man broke some ribs while getting sent flying away by the sheer force of the attack.
Back to normal time, Aki didn't immediately go for a follow up, he actually put Guilda to sleep by taking an enchanted crystal out of his inventory and breaking it. That made the marks on her face disappear and the skill sulking huge chunks of her Hp was turned off.
To put it in a more normal way of understanding, Guilda was just given a magical version of what a elephant tranquilizer looks like.
That will very likely cause lots of problems in her body, yes. That will also spare her of having to die right now, yes.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the time for Aki to worry about her though. He didn't get a kill notification from hitting that men, and he also couldn't find him right now.
At least he indicated so by looking all around with worry in his eyes.
When the man appeared above Guilda with another sword, Aki immediately attacked, but the man didn't expect he would blink behind him at the same time. His ambush on the very suspicious and strange young man had failed.
He hadn't attacked Guilda at all mind you, that was just a skill. He was actually aiming to kill Aki with a slash on his back.
Obviously, Aki is a hundred times more experienced at fooling others, even if just by second hand knowledge.
Kicking the back of the man's knee, Aki made shackles on the ground around his ankle and backed away from an attack. He forcibly made it so his split arm was put inside a cast of iron and meld it into a giant morning star.
With the effect of anger II, water, metal, fire, vapor and earth magic, he made a spell allowing him to turn the metal case around his arm into a fluid expanding wip and swung it at the locked man's head.
There was a sound of metal hitting metal and the crack of bones. Checking the system, he confirmed his kill of an opponent a hundred levels higher than himself.
He didn't have time to regenerate much though, just a few breaths and a soldier broke out to attack him while screaming. Aki defended his head with the metal encased arm and used a tendrils of telekinesis to open a rift to encompass his head.
No need to tell it was a perfect decapitation. His head appeared on the stump that used to be Aki's left arm. The blood started gushing out like a fountain of hot blood the next moment.
-All of you! We will take prisoners! Whoever comes with us won't have to suffer through this! You may even see the smile of your loved ones again! Throw your weapons and no harm shaw come to you! Aki screamed to those still in the cave. Their morale was low. They were outnumbered and outclassed. Add a bit of magic to a speech and you have almost twenty prisoners for the demons.
That includes the sidekick girl, who actually fell on her knees and started screaming when she saw the Hero's decapitated head and spine in Guilda's still biting maw.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Akichi
Akichi The whole chapter is technically information on the battle and the battle itself. While it may not be that good, it is my first time doing one of of those "MC shows his OPness", but even if I wanted to go for a longer fight I am still too inexperienced to do something like that work out.
