Chapter 455

Day 103 – Nighttime, White Weirdo Inn

It was a satisfying result, even when totally defenseless myself, I could entrust defense and offense to Snake-san and Chicken-san’s automatic protection and attacks, and still manage to overpower the overwhelming force of a crowd’s violence with the solitary number violence of my own. Starting with the deadly poison and status ailments spread by Chicken-san, Snake-san’s hundred-strong swarm would accurately pierce the enemy, and with 『Wisdom』 controlling twenty-four funnels, plus an endless mass of tentacles equipped with sword-tipped shields, outfitted for simultaneous offense and defense, I was able to overwhelm the enemy’s numbers by countering with sheer volume of attacks.

With this, the danger of being crushed to death went way down. A high-level well-equipped knight order might be an issue, but I no longer need to worry about being overrun and killed by low-level fanatics. I’d also managed a high-speed maneuver battle. There are many restrictions and there were big openings, but as long as speed could become a weapon I’d take the risk. And managing to perform Kyojitsu at 70% was huge, seventy percent already had plenty of destructive power, so that was a pleasant surprise, but the recoil was brutal, and that was an unpleasant one.

「Come on, Slime-san, cheer up, okay? To prove it was alright, I had to jump into a not-alright situation to prove that it was actually alright, so it was alright, probably? It turned out alright, didn’t it?」

It must be vexing them. If Slime-san, Armored Pres-san, or Dancing Girl-san unleashed their colossal strength in full, they could overwhelm the enemy by themselves with absolutely excessive force,.and that’s exactly why it can’t be done, why it can be shown, why it can’t be made public. If an enemy were to forcibly take control of them the way I took Dancing Girl-san, it would be the end of this world. That’s why I can’t let them stand out in the war or be put at the forefront.
