Rust fires a mighty blow from her bow. The arrow that she managed to shoot at the price of breaking one among her bows cuts by way of the air in a straight line, touchdown proper in the course of Kutanid’s chest.

「…… No method! That arrow was alleged to pierce its coronary heart for positive!」

「Sorry to say this, however I don’t suppose that it is possible for you to to pierce the muscle groups of such an enormous mountain of flesh with a easy bow and arrow.」

Absolutely these muscle groups will not be only for present. They need to act like a type of flesh armor, being inconceivable to penetrate by any regular means. If there’s something that might be capable of pierce by way of it, it could absolutely must be a trump card in type of the final word offensive energy assault. Happily each Rei and I’ve means to make use of such assaults, however in the interim allow us to persist with the fundamentals right here.

「Intention for its face, it’s what I wish to say…… However to begin with, purpose for its legs! As soon as its down on the bottom, then all of us give attention to the face! And for now we should determine simply what sort of assaults this factor is ready to pull off!」

With an look that resembled a mix of gorilla, octopus and a bodhisattva, this type of Kutanid might be the one one which possesses a bodily physique. In different phrases, this kind was in all probability going to be all about good previous fist combating, with no unusual gimmicks, reversal results or tentacle smashes. It even mentioned so itself: “Present me the way you wrestle!” This absolutely should be a problem.

「Alright, I’m going to crush that silly jaw of yours into million items!」

It’s not but the time to make use of my trump card, however as a way to see how Kutanid behaves in a one-on-one fistfight, I wanted some preparation. So I simply activated Infight and closed the gap that was between us. Within the meantime, I additionally outfitted my Scorpion Gauntlets. Come on, Kutanid, you asshole! Allow us to punch the dwelling crap out of each other!

VVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

「Oguoh…… Good, very good! What a sonorous warcry!」

I can see a mighty straight punch coming my method, a punch that might usually be too quick to understand or react to in any type of method. But when these previous couple of battles taught me one thing, it’s that every thing is feasible. With the intention to keep away from that blow, I take advantage of one among my latest abilities, Second Website. As soon as I do this, it’s as if the entire world slows down considerably. I didn’t actually need to make use of that to keep away from this, however I wanted that for one thing else whereas I used to be at it.

As Rei talked about earlier than, she has a Tank ability that enables her to counter any bodily assault proper after that assault hits her…… I wish to imitate that one way or the other. I do know that technically I’ve reached the restrict by attaining Degree Ninety 9 Prolonged, however I additionally know that limits exists in video games to be surpassed. So it could not be all that completely pointless for me, Sanraku, to attempt to be taught the fundamental actions for a ability like that, even when I’ve stopped rising in the interim.

I cease the ability’s impact and regain my pace when the world round me goes again to regular. Usually that might trigger some issues to my actions and coordination, however I did some secret coaching and now I used to be already used to that impact of sudden acceleration.

I twist my physique, making a aspect step and shifting from Kutanid’s blow, activating my very own Crystal Pillar on the identical time. I then use my different gauntlet to fully knock Kutanid’s arm to the aspect, and them make a punch of my very own. Upon influence I might really feel a shockwave going all through my complete physique, accompanied by the sensation as if my arm was about to fall off. Nonetheless, it was a clear and direct hit on my half and I might undoubtedly really feel it.

「You appear to have all fundamental hand at hand fight strikes lined…… What different methods are you hiding up your sleeve?」

Anyhow, what’s the take care of that halo-like object and the jewels hanging from it? It’s alleged to do one thing magical? Higher be cautious of that, or possibly even take measures to destroy the blasted issues.

Maybe my intention was written throughout my face, as a result of Kutanid roared loudly because it returned its fist again to a impartial place whereas shaking its physique tremendously. In response to that, the ring that grew on its again…… Oh, wow. I solely seen that proper now, however that ring was really made out of bones, in all probability coming from some kind of a big monster’s rib cage. In that case, then the one monster massive sufficient to suit the outline can be…… No, there’s actually no level enthusiastic about useless monsters.

The jewels connected to the ring shone brightly, and after a couple of seconds they began to drift, separating from the ring. Then they transfer over the heads of everybody current right here and cease unexpectedly.

「What the hell is that this, that’s harmful……」

「No wait, one thing’s not proper right here! It was too gradual and there’s an excessive amount of room to behave round it! I don’t suppose that it could introduce an insta-death gimmick this late within the combat!」

「How are you going to know that!? It could be good, however……!」

「—- ANALYSIS.」

Evaluation? What’s that? The pronunciation was a little bit bit off there, however…… No, for starters, why would Kutanid also have a transfer with such an odd title to it……?

The circle of sunshine expands from the jewel and descends in direction of me, scanning my complete physique as if it was making an attempt to learn some type of knowledge from my avatar. I might see that each different participant was subjected to the identical course of.

Akitsu Akane and Sickle tried to do essentially the most logical factor in response to that motion and tried to bail out from the sunshine circle, however I feel that it’s no use doing that. For my part as soon as the sunshine has shone on you, you can not escape its impact, no matter it might be.

「Now then…… what comes subsequent……?」

I do not know simply what sort of Evaluation these jewels have been conducting on us, however as soon as they have been all however finished all of them turned blue and returned to Kutanid. The jewels lodged themselves again onto Kutanid’s halo and after as soon as extra vivid shine they went again to their unique colours.

Might it’s that the variety of the jewels corresponds to the variety of individuals within the gamers’ social gathering? Or might it’s that eight was its unique restrict? It’s a boss monster, a Distinctive Monster at that, so the previous was very a lot doable, however the latter was one thing that would not be denied both. Because it might have been one thing that solely this octopus would have.

「—- REFLEXUS!」
