Chapter 84: Stellavelce – Part 2: Resurrection Again and Again

◆ Stellavelce – Palace ◆

“What are you, scum?! Knowing that this is my castle… —”

[Snake God Soldier] launched from the Corpse Storage – 5.

[Snake God Soldier] launched from the Corpse Storage – 6.

[Snake God Soldier] launched from the Corpse Storage – 7.

Napping-san’s weapon changed to [★★ Munching Dragon +12] .

Napping-san launched [Deadly Poison Buster Bomb]!

“Disappear into dust, Death Explosion!!!”

“[The Art of Death!!!] activated, corpses bloom into vibrant flowers! All possessed corpses explode!”

ε≡≡ヘ( ´Д`；)ノ

— Huh…? The system message for Death Explosion is totally different! This must be because of the [★★ Art of Death] I got from the Dragon Emergency, right?!

Gyah!

Protect Lord Kashpa…!!!

Frioniel has activated Hyper Guard, shielding himself and 7 others.

BAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!

“— !?”

“— !!! — !!!!”

Oh… Oniichan dashed over to protect us…? Woah, the sound of the explosion was so loud I can’t hear anything…

Skill Link!!! [Deadly Art] activated!!!

Dealt a total of 2,505,007 damage to Elite Snake God Soldier (Lv. 100), defeating it. Gained 1,300,000 experience points.

Chain Explosion!!! Elite Snake God Soldier (Lv. 100) explodes!

Ugh, aaaaaahhhhhhhh▂▅▇█▓▒░(’ω’)░▒▓█▇▅▂aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Chain Explosion!!! Elite Snake God Soldier (Lv. 100) explodes —

…

…

…

Ah… Ah… Ah… I don’t even know anymore… And Oniichan, thank you, seriously, thank you. I almost died in my own explosion. Thank goodness for your giant shield skill! And he even dodged 10% of the damage with his equipment effect! He really is a lucky one.

So, it seems that the Snake God Soldiers that came close to protect Kashpa were caught in the explosion, and Kashpa took direct explosion damage. Kashpa’s received damage log is interspersed with battle logs that are scrolling by at high speed… It’s not just once or twice. Kashpa is taking multiple explosion damages, countless times! The damage to Kashpa is small, though. But because of the repeated explosions, the Elite Snake God Soldiers, who were struggling to endure, are falling one after another, and their corpses are exploding, causing other soldiers to fall… It’ll continue until there’s only one left. It’s unstoppable!

“— Meow meow meow! Meow meow! ”

*Aurelia has announced the start of the Meow Meow Festival. *

“Huh? Cute!!”

“Eh?! Y- you heard that?! I thought you wouldn’t be able to hear it with all this noise! Ah, please forget it! You guys attack that guy with the purple cabbage head!”

Meowwwwwww…

Black Cat Luna, accompanied by her minions, is charging!

Skill Link!!! [Deadly Art Festival] activated!

Lia-chan tried to slip in her super cute chant amidst the loud noise, but it happened to be the moment when the sound subsided, so I heard it perfectly. So, what is the Meow Meow Festival? Ah, that Boss Black Cat with all the dignity just charged into the blast! Woah, woah, woah, where are they coming from? Cats, cats, cats, tons of cats rushing in! It’s a skill that consumes Lia-chan’s MP and fires magic projectiles in the shape of cats to attack!

“How audacious! Do you think childish magic like this will work on me!”

Hitting Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 200)! Critical! Dealt a total of 5,499,714 damage!

“Wha…? Gah…?! Impossible! This power…!!!”

Woah… The kitties are scratching, kicking, and throwing cat punches — it’s cute, but it’s so powerful… The damage that didn’t go through before is gone, and it dealt almost 5.5 million damage all at once! I’ve never seen “Critical” before… So, Lia-chan has a critical attribute against Kashpa. And because of this damage, it seems like Kashpa finally noticed her.

“You… You’re the one I killed, aren’t you…?!”

“I’ll resurrect as many times as it takes to destroy you! I’ll definitely kill you, I’ll destroy you completely! I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth, I’ll pursue you endlessly, and then I’ll erase you!”

“Shut up! Give me your power, too! Heroes scattered to stardust, become my nourishment! Soul Drain!!!”

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 200) activated Soul Drain, absorbing nearby souls. HP is fully restored.

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 200) has leveled up to Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 220)…

“He levels up?! So that’s why Kashpa has such a high level?!”

“I see. He has a troublesome skill.”

“How’s this! Souls are floating all over this palace and this country! There’s no chance of defeat for me! This is the power I gained after absorbing the royal artifact!”

I see, he can restore his HP and level up by absorbing nearby souls. He has a troublesome skill. But what’s with this feeling of disappointment? The royal artifact that Kashpa absorbed… It’s the one around my neck right now. This must be the placebo effect, where he’s just taking in an accessory with a random, decent ability and pretending it’s giving him power.

“Well, are you ready for your last words?”

“Then, I shall cut you down.”

Rage has activated Demon Warrior Transformation, all stats have increased by 2 times.

Rage activated Seal Destruction!!! Demon Warrior Flow Ultimate Technique standby complete!!!

Princess Chiyo has activated Fox Transformation, all stats have increased by 3 times. HP gradually decreases.

Princess Chiyo has activated Scarlet Shadow Lady.

“Ah —?”

“Execution by fire. Burn them all.”

Mitchell changed Princess Chiyo’s attack attribute to Fire Attribute.

Rage activated Meteor, entering a high-speed movement state.

Princess Chiyo activated Astonishing World, teleporting!

Alright, the chain explosion is over, the Meow Meow Festival is over, and the conversation event with Lia-chan is over. Is that power real… or fake?! Let’s find out!

“Prepare yourself!!! DAAAAAAAAARGH!!!”

“Prepare yourself!!!”

“H- How fast…”

Rage activated Demon Warrior Flow Ultimate Technique – Lightning Slash, Weak!!! Critical! Dealt 16,499,198 damage to Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 220).

Princess Chiyo activated One Sword Severing Iron, Weak!!! Critical! Dealt 1,444,690 damage to Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 220).

Rage’s Demon Warrior Transformation has been canceled.

Rage received 99% of his maximum HP as backlash damage. Entered the Powerless state.

“Shaaa…!!”

“It’s nothing.”

Princess Chiyo canceled Fox Transformation and Scarlet Shadow Lady, sheathing her.

His head flew off, his torso fell, but — there’s no defeat message! It’s the same type of fake-death as the fallen angel who appeared before. He just looks dead!

“He’s not dead yet!”

“Impossible, I just cut off his — ”

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 220) activated Reconstruction, Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) restored.

“Did you cut off my head? Did you slice my torso? Do you think I would die from something so trivial, you trash!?”

“…Uncanny.”

“No, I’m going to retreat…”

Rage opened the Guild Portal and departed from the party.

This is even more troublesome than we imagined… It was good that we were able to take out the surrounding enemies quickly, but the main target is a fake-undead with incredible regenerative ability. It hurts that Rage-san went powerless and lost 99% of his HP after using his awakening. But I never thought he wouldn’t die, so it’s understandable that he retreated…

“— Are you done? It’s my turn? It’s my turn, right?! That’s right, it’s my turn! Until he can’t regenerate anymore! It’s okay to cut him to shreds, right? Right! Kill, kill, kill! Destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy!!!”

“Don’t get cocky, you brat! Perforate, Curse Spear!”

Tsukune☆ activated Genocide Step.

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) – Curse Spear miss… Did not hit the target.

Eh — Tsukune-chan? Curse Spear is a dark magic spell with incredibly high accuracy! She… dodged it?! All of those spears that thrust up from the ground at incredible speeds?! N- no way…

“You’re slow! Apologize! Say you’re sorry for using a weak attack on me!”

“Y- you dodged?! Gah…?!”

Tsukune☆ activated Flattened, Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) received 331,557 damage.

Tsukune☆ entered the Enraged – 1 state. Attack power increased by 1.1 times.

Tsukune☆ entered the Exhilarated – 6 state. Attack power increased by 1.6 times, damage received decreased by 30%, HP recovers by 3.0% per second.

“Apologize!!! Apologize!!!! You called me a brat! You called me a BRAT! Apologize! I’m going to crush you! CRUSH YOU!!!”

“Hi-ihh —?!”

Tsukune☆ activated Flat-Flat-Flattened, Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) received a total of 1,236,119 damage. Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) entered the Mental Shock state.

Tsukune☆ entered the Enraged – 2 state. Attack power increased by 1.2 times.

Tsukune☆ entered the Exhilarated – 7 state. Attack power increased by 1.7 times, damage received decreased by 35%, HP recovers by 3.5% per second.

U- wow… Ah… It’s a full-fledged, brutal combo attack, but it’s flawless. She’s hitting him with her axe over and over, before he can even get up, before his regeneration can keep up… S- scary…!?

“D- damn it!”

“Hah!”

Princess Chiyo activated Destroying Demon Slash, Weak!!! Dealt a total of 876,991 damage to Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214).

*”Ugh… Get out of my way! Get out of my waaaay!!” *

Napping-san activated Screw Attack, dealt a total of 421,991 damage to Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214).

The three melee fighters started to prevent Kashpa from attacking by knocking him back with instant attacks. Oniichan, who quietly snuck back to Rena-chan’s group, is looking at this big room from a distance, like he’s thinking about something. But there’s nothing he can do, right? Of course — wait, he actually did it!

“Shaaaa! Witness the power of the venomous serpent — ”

— CONK!

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) received 3 damage.

“G- guh…?! S- shield…?!”

*m9(^Д^) *

“D- don’t… make fun of meee!!! Guggh —?!”

“Where are you looking? The only thing you should be looking at is hell. Die! If you won’t apologize, die and atone! Die, atone! AAAAARGH!!!”

Tsukune☆ activated Full Buster, Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) received 1,726,119 damage. Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) entered the Mental Shock – Strong state.

Tsukune☆ entered the Enraged – 3 state. Attack power increased by 1.3 times.

Tsukune☆ entered the Exhilarated – 8 state. Attack power increased by 1.8 times, damage received decreased by 40%, HP recovers by 4.0% per second.

Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 214) activated Reconstruction, Snake God Kashpa (Lv. 206) restored.

We did it! Oniichan, while tanking for the other party, hit Kashpa square in the face with the Dragon Shield! Tsukune-chan’s fierce attack just keeps landing, over and over… This is the second time he’s been restored by Reconstruction… I see. I see. Maybe we’ve figured out how to beat this guy…

“Mitchell-san, can Enemy Search… detect the souls that Kashpa absorbed earlier?”

“Eh? Yes, it can.”

“…Lia-chan, this might be a bit of a boring revenge, but can you help me? We’re going to cut off his source of recovery! We’re going to destroy him completely!”

“Um… Okay! Completely, right?!”

Alright, let’s leave that side to the melee fighters. We magic users are going to go cut off Kashpa’s source of recovery. It’s going to be tedious, but let’s do this!
