Konbini Ossan Volume 16 Chapter 6 — Ultimate Secret Technique
Joan lightly swung her sword as though shaking blood from the blade, then swept her gaze around, searching for his next target.
Perhaps intimidated by this, the ordinary Douki recoiled and took slight steps backward.
But the Douki side was not merely standing by and watching.
Having observed the sequence of attacks and recognized that Joan was no ordinary opponent, two Douki Generals rushed her simultaneously.
And this was no tame coordinated attack.
The two Douki Generals fused together as they advanced, their forms distorting into a single monstrous entity as they charged.
“«Blaze Barrier»!”
Joan hurriedly activated a defensive technique.
The moment she drove his sword into the ground, a sphere of scorching red light enveloped her, becoming a barrier-like wall that protected her from the attack.
Moreover, this light did not merely defend. It counterattacked with waves of heat against incoming strikes.
The fused Douki General hammered at the barrier repeatedly with its fists, but whether overwhelmed by the returning heat waves, it halted its assault.
But this was not an opponent that would give up so easily.
Using its own body as fuel, the fused Douki General engulfed even Joan’s defenses in darkness, attempting a suicidal takeover.
Faced with the Douki General, now no longer even retaining a shape, having become a pitch-black gel-like mass trying to swallow her whole, Joan launched her strongest possible counterattack.
“«Prominence Revive»eeeeeeeeee!!”
Shee drove the scorching light protecting her to its absolute limit, beyond its breaking point.
In doing so, the mere scorching heat ascended, becoming sacred flame, reaching a domain that carried attributes of recovery and purification.
Even Joan’s own magical power, depleted from the relentless combo attacks until now, was restored by this technique, no, rather amplified beyond its natural limit.
That overwhelming wave of magical power blasted away the Douki General that had been trying to consume her, dealing damage in the process.
And here, Joan unleashed her strongest strike, his ultimate secret technique.
“With this strike, I forge the future!”
The amplified scorching light poured into the Intelligence Sword.
Even then, overflowing light enveloped Joan and spread outward, bathing the entire surrounding area.
“«Infernal Sword Exorcism»!”
Closing the distance against the fused Douki General, which flinched from the intense light, Joan unleashed a relentless barrage of sword strikes.
Every single blow carried killing power, and the overflowing scorching light had already surpassed the scale of a mere sword, shredding the entire surrounding area.
Even fused together, the Douki General had no means of enduring this.
“This ends hereeeeeeeeeee!!”
Joan finished with a powerful upward slash that seemed to launch her skyward.
Not only was the carved-up Douki General destroyed, but countless ordinary Douki caught in the aftermath vanished one after another as well.
“Phew... somehow managed that, I guess.”
Joan looked visibly exhausted after unleashing her ultimate technique.
Seizing that opening, several Douki began rushing toward Joan.
But there was no way Tiana and Tio would allow that.
“«Azure Gust»”
“«Emerald Hail»”
Each released shockwaves from their swords, wrapped in their specialty elemental magic, ice and wind respectively, blasting the Douki away and keeping them at bay.
“Joan, rest.”
“We’ll take it from here.”
Taking Joan’s place as she showed clear signs of fatigue after her ultimate technique, Tiana and Tio stepped forward.
“Yeah, I’ll leave it to you for a bit.”
With that, Joan retreated to the rear to catch her breath.
Meanwhile, perhaps realizing their chances of victory were slim if things continued like this, the Douki attempted the same fusion the two Douki Generals had used earlier, this time with the remaining three General Douki and over a dozen surviving ordinary Douki.
The grotesquely merged Douki no longer resembled ogres at all, instead becoming something like a giant lump of flesh with countless limbs sprouting chaotically from it.
“If they’re going to bunch up,”
“That works in our favor. We’ll hit them with the big ones. Again and again.”
Saying that, Tiana and Tio crossed their Intelligence Swords before them.
As twins, they were already capable of exceptionally high-level coordination.
With each wielding an Intelligence Sword, this effectively gave them the coordination of four fighters.
In other words, even large-scale offensive magic requiring four people could now be activated by just the two of them.
Waiting until the flesh-mass Douki had completely finished merging, the twins spoke in unison and unleashed their techniques.
“«Icicle Meteor»”
Countless chunks of ice formed above the flesh-mass Douki and came crashing down violently.
Their mass, speed, and magical destructive force dealt continuous damage without allowing it to act.
But naturally, this was only the beginning.
Just like with Joan, the more techniques unleashed in succession, the greater the Intelligence Swords’ effects became.
“«Twin Cyclone»”
Next, blades of wind swirled like tornadoes and storms, raging wildly as they carved apart the flesh-mass Douki.
“«Frost World»”
Once the storm subsided, a blizzard containing absolute-zero cold and blades of ice swept across the battlefield.
“«Prismic Duststorm»”
Next came a combined ice-and-wind spell.
Ice blades so fine they were nearly invisible blasted forth with violent winds.
The light refracted through the ice particles, creating a seven-colored rainbow.
But the rainbow’s true form was countless microscopic blades of ice magic.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of attacks scraped away at the flesh-mass Douki’s surface.
As though it were being devoured alive by the rainbow itself.
“«Phonon Fall»”
Another combined ice-and-wind spell.
Great swords of wind, intensely luminous from adiabatic compression, and massive ice swords gleaming in that light, rained down from above.
They effortlessly pierced the flesh-mass Douki, pinning it to the ground and dealing tremendous damage.
“«Zero Explosion»”
Frigid air imbued with ice magic was compressed to its utmost limit by wind imbued with wind magic.
The moment the limit was reached, a freezing explosion carrying both attributes erupted.
The flesh-mass Douki’s entire body was shredded apart, while the cut surfaces froze solid.
It could no longer even reconnect its wounds as it had during fusion.
“«Howling Blizzard»”
At this point, a spell activated using the frozen sections accumulated from the previous attacks as its foundation.
Not only the ice flowers blooming across the surrounding ground, but even the ice sealing the flesh-mass Douki’s wounds, burst apart with piercing shrieks.
As if reacting to the sound, the exploding ice triggered chain reactions, each burst spreading freezing air through the sound itself.
The surroundings froze once more, only to shatter again.
Thus, an endless-seeming chain of freezing and detonation tore the flesh-mass Douki into smaller and smaller pieces.
“«Antimatter Execution»”
The spreading ice created through the chain reactions inverted under the next spell.
With its activation, newly formed ice born from the exploding shards was reconstructed through magic possessing antimatter-like properties.
The antimatter ice and detonations from antimatter-compressed atmosphere triggered successive annihilation reactions.
In an instant, the flesh-mass Douki lost over thirty percent of its body.
Through this chain of magical coordination, Tiana and Tio, like Joan before them, had also pushed their magical power beyond its normal limits, their strength massively amplified.
In other words, preparations for the ultimate secret technique they could unleash together were complete.
“«Niflheim»”
(E/N: Miyuki's speciak! MKNR!)
Absolute-zero dark matter drifting through the vast cosmos, and radiant shining nebulae.
Magical cold and atmosphere surpassed their limits, entering a conceptual domain where even their nature transformed.
The dark matter and nebula closed in on the flesh-mass Douki from above and below, crushing it between them.
The next instant, blinding light and immense energy erupted.
A force reminiscent of the birth of the universe engulfed even the magical power composing the flesh-mass Douki, converting it into light and heat.
After all the light faded, what remained was energy itself, vaguely transformed into something creative.
Blue and green glowing magical power gathered into a sphere, then gently spread outward, enveloping the surrounding area.
Then, the terrain destroyed during the battle, Tiana and Tio who should have exhausted their magical power, and even Joan in the rear, all began to heal.
The land regenerated as though no battle had ever taken place, and the three of them recovered their magical power and stamina to levels indistinguishable from before the battle began.
