LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 269.1
Chapter 269.1. God-Tier Magic
Hakata City was in the midst of a large-scale battle. The soldiers wanted to use guns to intercept the swarms of Killer Bees, but they hesitated to pull the trigger due to the risk of friendly fire.
“Move to the walls and shoot upwards at an angle! That way, you won’t hit your allies!”
The captain yelled instructions hoarsely, and gunfire rang out. The sharp, dry sound of gunshots echoed, and when the bullets hit the Killer Bees, they easily shattered their bodies.
“They really do seem fragile!”
Hana, holding a spear, stepped forward sharply and delivered a series of thrusts. Her attacks accurately hit the Killer Bees that were floating midair and feeding on the petals. The flying Killer Bees, with their fragile bodies, burst and fell to the ground in an instant.
[Metal Net]
Combining fragments of metal in her hands, Jun used his skill to create a metal net that enveloped the Killer Bees. Seeing them struggling as they fell to the ground, Full-Armor Ohki-kun, clad in full armor, delivered the finishing blow.
“Martial Skill: Dragonfly Slash!”
With a yell, he slammed the spear in his hand down on a Killer Bee like a flyswatter, dispatching it quickly. He was a pragmatic one who always prioritized safety. By the way, Dragonfly Slash isn’t actually the name of a martial skill.
Around them, many other Killer Bees were being taken down. Despite the large number of enemies, the soldiers’ morale lifted as they realized the foes were not very strong.
However, the Killer Bees, while fragile and easy to kill, were summoned monsters that were overwhelmed with numbers and self-destructive attacks. Even if they could be taken down by gunfire, if they swooped in low, friendly fire was inevitable. In close combat, the sheer number of enemies was overwhelming, and the soldiers couldn’t deal with them all.
The Killer Bees that weren’t killed yet showed their cold, inorganic compound eyes to the humans while buzzing their wings, and pointing their sharp, rapier-like stingers at them.
[Final Strike]
The Killer Bees, glowing red, unleashed self-destructive attacks that could defeat even stronger foes. Their stingers became sharper, triggering a forbidden technique against the humans.
“Ha!”
[Shadow Bind]
The shadow snakes, hidden within shadows, deployed a defensive shield. Magic that could block arrows and attacks was highly effective against [Final Strike]. As the red light surged toward the soldiers, one moment of hesitation stopped it, causing the stinger to fall helplessly to the ground.
However, the Killer Bees, who focused on overwhelming numbers, had some stingers that slipped through the protection of the shadow snakes. If they hit, they would be fatal. The deadly stingers rained down like a storm, and when they struck, the soldiers’ bodies briefly glowed red as they collapsed to the ground in agonizing pain.
The Killer Bees’ stingers lived up to their name, delivering a one-hit death to humans.
“Dammit! My lady, fall back!”
[Phalanx Shield]
With a serious expression, Konoha’s maid stepped forward and deployed small, adjustable shields attached to both arms. The shields clicked as they transformed, becoming the size of a kite shield, and many light shields were created around her, forming a protective wall.
The red strikes from the Killer Bees’ [Final Strike] collided with the light shields. The shields flickered with light, and cracks appeared.
“Ugh. The enemy’s attacks are strong. Please provide a generous danger allowance.”
While maintaining the shields and blocking the attacks, the maid deliberately spoke lightly, and Konoha smiled, concentrating her mana.
“Well done. I’ll finish this!”
[Jester’s Balls]
Transformed into the figure of a jester, Konoha created a Sphere in her hand and began juggling. In no time at all, more balls appeared, floating in the air.
[Surprising Explosive Balls]
Swinging her arms, Konoha activated her technique. The balls struck the Killer Bees and exploded, shattering them. The balls continued to explode as they hit the swarming Killer Bees in the sky.
The Jester’s Balls kept multiplying after they were thrown. As long as her mana didn’t run out, the surprising balls would be endlessly launched.
“I’ll take them all out with this technique!”
Taking a mana potion from her waist, Konoha downed it in one gulp, steeling herself to defeat all the Killer Bees.
Among the balls, for some reason, one black Sphere mixed in and headed for the Killer Bees.
[Dark God’s Sphere]
Without a sound, the pitch-black Sphere shot forward, passing through the swarm of Killer Bees and flying into the outskirts. It didn’t just pass through—after it passed, a distortion in space occurred, creating a black crack. The crack began to pull in surrounding Killer Bees and the Mother Rafflesia, greedily consuming them.
All the monsters on the castle walls were sucked in, and not even their remains were left. It was a devastatingly powerful magic.
“Ah, oh?”
Konoha, a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead, muttered, “It seems like just one of my balls isn’t visible.”
The sentries saw this and nodded in satisfaction. “Konoha-sama’s God-Tier magic is amazing, huh? I’m so moved.”
“As always, it’s brutal.”
“Never mind that, did you take down the King Behemoths too?”
While controlling the [Dark God’s Sphere] flying into the outskirts, they observed. The tiny Sphere that was flying through the sky created a spatial crack behind it, sucking up all the monsters on the ground. Even the Armored Triceratops couldn’t escape, their massive bodies floating up as they were drawn in.
[We’ve done it, there’s no doubt about it! As expected from you, Sakimori-san! God-Tier power is incredible!]
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
Shizuku said, her voice tinged with excitement, but all that remained was anxiety.
The Dark Ravens saw the [Dark God’s Sphere] in their sights, which even sucked in a Volcano Lizard on its way, drawing close to the Behemoth walking leisurely behind.
[Thunder Emperor Rain]
