Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 230.2 - Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle I

Orochi raised a wail akin to a crushed frog when its head got nailed to the ground with steel and ice.

The two sealing lances pierced the ground from above that huge head as advanced rank magic. The ice lance pierced through Orochi's crown of head, while the iron lance sewed its lower jaw and upper jaw, sealing Orochi's maw.

「――『Eternity』!」

The lynchpin that completed this plan was 『Eternity』 which unleashed immediately, a magic that converted objects made from magic into corporeal form.

「Sealing lance success! Bring in the anchor!」

「HERE WE GO GUYS, IT'S YOUR TURN!」

「OOOOOOOOH!」

The vanguard led by Ueda raised warcries, and they started running toward the head that got crucified with two sealing lances.

They picked up a lance, or rather, a giant harpoon that was placed along the way. The harpoon with thick chains connected on its top made a deep sound as it dragged along the ground.

Since we had already placed the anchor in this place beforehand, all that left was stabbing the harpoon into the head to complete this part.

We even marked the sealing point to drive in the harpoon beforehand.

「30 seconds until the next head comes!」

「Momokawa, ye slave driver!」

「We're doing it!」

Despite their complaints, JuryMary drove in the harpoon with fluid combination upon hearing my reminder about the time for the next head to appear.

Jury's role was to stab the harpoon, and Mary would drive in that anchor with shaman brand sledgehammer. Since the harpoon had a huge barb, pulling it out wouldn't be that easy.

After driving that harpoon into Orochi's left eye, JuryMary moved on to the next point to drive in another anchor.

The right eye side was left to Ueda and Nakai.

In another place, Nakajima was working together with Yamada to nail the anchor.

Great, so far it is going according to the plan.

Thanks to our repeated practice, after defeating the first head, we could calculate the 2nd phase where the second and third heads appeared.

The estimated time was 45 seconds.

We had to drive in the main sealing lance within 15 seconds and use the rest of the time to drive in the secondary restriction with the rest of the time.

At the same time, the other members would prepare themselves for the 2nd phase.

The next step of the plan was pretty much the same as the subjugation plan of a giant monster-type super boss in RPG games. As long as we understood the behavior of our opponent, we could defeat them with timing and countermeasures.

Well, if Masaru were alive, we wouldn't waste so much time to come up with a subjugation plan and countermeasure. Regret only comes after we lose someone.

「10 seconds to go――」

SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH!

Tch, it was only at this moment they appeared earlier!

Three seconds earlier than the previous record. Two heads appeared from the rocky mountain while raising a cloud of dust.

Maybe they got pissed off since the 1st head got insta killed. Well, we should be the ones to get pissed off by its cheat-like ability though.

「Souma-kun, Tendou-kun, it's your turn!」

The next vanguard was the top two, the King and the Hero.

The gist was the same as before, cornered one head until it was on the brink of death with powerful skill, then nail the sealing lance and anchor into their head.

「『Nero Lightning』!」

「『Nether Vortex』!」

The 2nd head got beaten up to a pulp by the combination attack of light and darkness.

Without wasting any moment, Natsukawa-san and Kenzaki rushed toward the 2nd head with sealing lances in their hands.

By the way, the one who gave them the two sealing lances was Himeno-san, escorted by Sakura.

By the way, though the sealing operation was completed without a hitch, two heads appeared in this 2nd phase.

That's why if we focused our attack on one head, the other head wouldn't stay still either.

「『WAR―― CRY』!」

The one whose roar shook the ground was none other than Mei-chan.

The 3rd head was moving to save the 2nd head, but it suddenly turned around and charged toward Mei-chan, maybe because it felt threatened by her presence.

『Warcry』：A roar to attract the monster's attention. Though it was really useful hate-gathering support skill for a tank in MMORPG, I had never expected that such a skill would come in a package with 『Berserker』 in this world. I mean, not even Yamata no Orochi could ignore Mei-chan when she roared while using this skill.

「COME HERE!」

The 2rd head rushed toward Mei-chan who was fully prepared with her shield and halberd.

Okay, she managed to attract their attention. Mei-chan could divert their attention for a few seconds.

Oi Sakura, do your job and give Mei-chan some covering fire. You're the only one available for that job now!

「RAISE THE SEALING SPEED OF THE 2ND HEAD! WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG MEI-CHAN CAN ATTRACT THEIR ATTENTION!」

Who knows when the capricious 3rd head would go back to the 2nd head? Even if the sealing spear was materialized with 『Eternity』, it could be destroyed if another head crashed against the sealed head.

We invested a lot of materials to create a sealing lance, but we didn't prepare enough spare.

「――『Ice Fortis Sagita(Freezing Spear)』」

「――『Terra Fortis Sagita(Rock Spear)』」

Great, the 2nd head had been sealed with a sealing lance. The position was perfect too. Now it was time to fix it even further with an anchor.

「Class Rep, Randou-san, give Mei-chan covering fire!」

「My 『Eternity』 is――」

「Takanashi, bring two! The 3rd head is heading toward the 1st head, prepare concentration fire!」

Simply put, Randou-san was supposed to apply her 『Eternity』 on her own iron spear, but there was a change of plan.

To think that bastard's 3rd head was coming toward the 1st head who got sealed first instead of the 2nd head.

But, this was within the margin of error.

「HIMENO, ICE TO UEDA, IRON TO JURY! NATSUKAWA, KENZAKI, ATTACK THE THIRD HEAD, AND USE POISON!」

We need a certain level of firepower to incapacitate the head.

With covering fire from Class Rep and Randou, Natsukawa and Kenzaki could securely incapacitate the 3rd head.

「Eh!? Where's Ueda-kun and Nonomiya-san!?」

「Oi, over here, hurry up!」

「RUN HIMENO RUN!」

Though Himeno-san got flustered by the sudden change of plan, all she had to do was hand over the spear to them.

They had been trained to stab the spear in all kinds of situations.

「Haah, as expected, only Souma-kun and Tendou-kun can beat one head without a hitch.」

Both of them are already heading to their next post. That's why we had to seal the 3rd head without their support.

But since the 1st and 2nd head had already been sealed, the 3rd head had been literally checkmated.

Once we were done sealing the 2nd head, the 3rd head would be at our mercy. If it was just one head, the vanguard could handle them without Mei-chan's assistance.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Mei-chan's huge halberd created a local storm as she pulverized the 3rd head. Her attack smashed their scales, ripped their meat, and definitely caused damage to the head.

With support from the spellcaster, the members of the anchor team plus Natsukawa and Kenzaki could join the fight against the 3rd head.

As for the said 3rd head, forget about worrying about the other head, they were already beaten black and blue.

「Enough with the beating! Move to sealing formation!」

At this point, there was no need to change the plan.

Thus, Natsukawa and Kenzaki held the sealing lance in their hand again, and the anchor team already prepared to nail the anchor spear and chain to complete the sealing.

「――『Ice Fortis Sagita(Freezing Spear)』」

「――『Terra Fortis Sagita(Rock Spear)』」

With a loud explosion, the 3rd sealing lance exploded safely, and the 3rd head sewed to the ground without a hitch.

Yamata No Orochi's 2nd phase had ended, with all three heads nailed on the ground.

The moment we entered the 3rd phase, it would start using breath attack.

「1st phase of the plan was completed without a hitch! Be prepared for the 2nd phase!」

And then when everyone was running to their posts――

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

A loud roar resounded, the signal for the appearance of the 4th and 5th head.

But, since we have three heads sealed over here, they wouldn't come out from this side.

「Nice timing, Souma-kun, Tendou-kun.」

Those two had already been circling around to the other side to control the head the moment they made their appearance.

Their job was to prevent the other head of Orochi from approaching the area where the three heads were sealed. The plan was to fight the remaining five heads on the opposite side of this place.

And, it's time for the infiltration team to make their move.
