Chapter 294.2

Chapter 294.2. Fighting Together With Tamamo-chan And The Others

“WhAt’Z haPPeniNg? Aah, It’z hUrtz!”

With a voice of anguish, a grotesque monster staggered forward, causing the floor to tremble with each step. Its body was swollen like a balloon, veins bulging as if they were about to burst, and it stood about five meters tall. Its eyes were partially clouded, and its mouth revealed jagged teeth.

This misshapen giant, with wild and balding blond hair, had limbs as thick as tree trunks and was clad in a magical armor that seemed tailor-made from topaz, fitting it perfectly. Its body crackled with electricity, surrounded by lightning on its skin.

“W-what is that?”

“A new type of monster? N-no, is that a human?”

In the presence of the grotesque giant, Aburage dad and mom opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

“Hey. Hey, could it be… someone who has been modified?”

Watching the giant walk-in pain, Tamamo voiced her speculation, which I thought might be accurate.

“M-my… bOdy, gettIng bETter, no, got healed… This place is where intruders DiE.”

It seemed to retain some self-awareness. Occasionally, a glimmer of reason returned to its eyes, and it turned toward Mii-chan and the others.

“Executive of Nidhogg, Hrungnir. I’Ll KiIIIllLllLl YOooOu aAAlLLl!!!.”

It appeared to be Hrungnir, but had he been modified?

“What on earth… I don’t sense any curses or magic powers in his body. That’s how he originally looked. Can you believe something like this, lady?”

“I think it’s possible.”

It seemed that Heimdall could discern the composition of the enemy. He was clearly modified, yet there were no traces of it, which surprised him.

However, Mii-chan was not surprised. She had an idea. It was probably the power of the Golden Thread.

Just as the enemy had created this shoddy-made God Realm, they used the Golden Thread with their incomplete powers. It wasn’t a matter of genetics. They had altered Hrungnir’s concept of being human.

Recovery magic wouldn’t work either. Probably because, by definition, Hrungnir was originally a grotesque monster.

“Ai… I, I have been reborn through the power of my Holy Rice Crackers… I’ll show you my power! Take this!”

[Thor’s Hammer]

With both hands clasped, Hrungnir swung his fist like a hammer onto the floor. Lightning emanated from his fist and surged towards us despite the distance.

“Watch out!”

[Magic Barrier Sign]

Aburage dad quickly deployed a sign in his hand. A light wall sprang up radially from the floor, intercepting the lightning.

Once it completely blocked the lightning, the wall of light disappeared. However, it was surprising that it could withstand such power.

“I got it from Matsu-san, Miu-chan.”

Aburage dad sent a surprised glance my way and smiled smugly. He had taken out a bundle from his pocket. Aburage mom also had a bundle of signs.

“I bought 100 of them for 10 billion yen.”

“They have a variety of abilities, from attack and defense to support and exploration. It was a great deal. Plus, I got 5 extra signs.”

Aburage dad and mom said casually. Seriously? Are they really that expensive? The price difference with the bonus is staggering.

“First, we need to protect the civilians.”

Aburage mom pulled out a sign from the bundle of paper and threw it into the sky.

[Sand-Silk Exoskeleton Sign]

Six signs formed a hexagram and enveloped the children who had taken refuge behind them. A powerful mana-infused sand burst forth, creating a multi-layered dome of earth in an instant.

“It’s an automatic regeneration defense barrier. With this, the children should be safe for a while.”

“As expected of Mom!”

Tamamo applauded and admired her mom’s impressive skills.

“O-oh… 1 symbol is 100 million yen… So, all of these… 600 million yen…”

“Ah, Mio fainted!”

“Her brain must have had a meltdown!”

One of the girls had a meltdown, but it was probably okay to ignore it.

“Let’s see if that flimsy barrier can withstand my attack! I’ll show you!”

With a sinister laugh, Hrungnir started running. Despite his unknown weight, his movements were swift as he charged relentlessly, smashing the floor.

“Lady, that monster…”

“It looks like he ate a lot of tofu!”

Heimdall gazed at Mii-chan with a serious expression, but I understood. That monster had inherited Thor’s power. Moreover, his language skills seemed to be improving rapidly.

“My body is getting lighter! The pain is fading away! Ku-ha-ha-ha!”

“Poor soul, I shall subdue you!”

[Light Fang]

Aburage dad threw 3 signs. In mid-air, the symbols intertwined and transformed into a spear of light, heading toward Hrungnir.

However, Hrungnir, without slowing his speed, took the light spear head-on. Multiple layers of magical barriers were deployed instantly, and the light spear shattered.

“My magic barrier can have up to 10 layers. Do you think a weak spell like that will work? Time for payback!”

He accelerated as if jumping out, closing the gap rapidly. With a triumphant expression, Hrungnir raised his right arm.

With a booming sound, his massive arm swelled, covered in tiny lightning bolts like blood vessels.

[Thunderous Blitz]

Stepping onto the floor as a fulcrum, Hrungnir thrust his fist forward.

Lightning bolts spread like a spider’s web and struck at Mii-chan and the others with a deafening roar.

Mii-chan and the others were blown away by a massive explosion accompanied by a flash of light.
