Black Iron Magician

Chapter 235 Infinite Variety

Earth magic level 100 『Sculpture』. Just like what Mani had done to Oda, Therese applied the magic on herself and her Staff Fortress Coalesce. The ground beneath her feet rose up and she shaped it into armor. Therese’s armor isn’t as large as Odanmu’s, but with a size that matches her height. Maybe it’s better to call it a woman’s full-body armor, with only her long golden hair showing. The emerald green color of the armor is very beautiful, and it looks like that of a knight. Depending on how you look at it, it was like a hero’s transformation. At the same time, the power of Coalesce was linked to this magic and the strong plants took root in the shield, creating a stronger shield. Her morale, which is usually high, was further boosted by the sight of Odamu’s transformation in the distance.

「As expected of Crocus’s soil. It’s even better than I imagined desuwa!」

The Blue Dragon Magic level 1 『Vadarizates』. Weerel judged that the attack of the water magic system will have a low effect on Hund who lives in water, so she chose to use this magic to the weapons of Haruna and Chinatsu. This Vadarizates is also a support magic that has the effect of giving a water attribute like Aqua Enchant. However, the real deal is the next effect, the super-enhancement of the slashing attack. The water that spread thinly on the blade will rotate at ultra-high speed and it can easily cut through and break apart even steel. Earlier, Hund’s tough body blocked the blade, so Weerel gave her support so that it won’t happen again.

However, due to the nature of Haruna’s Doggan Staff, it won’t accept magic power from anyone other than Haruna. This is not something that Haruna can switch on and off, so Weerel forcibly applied it with the condition that it consumes enormous magic power and is effective only for a very short time.

「Especially for Chinatsu-san’s sword…. Now it has the power of fire and water…. Therefore, it’s the strongest…!」

It’s hard to tell from her facial expression, but she gave it her all in the support and she’s relatively excited.

(Still, he flew quite far.)

Hund’s power was directly returned by Haruna’s aiki, and he was blown away by his own power. The distance is quite far that Chinatsu is still looking up.

「I’ll leave the direct attack to you…. Kuvalere….」

「Okay, let’s go, Haruna! Garde Ballista!」

「I’ll pour my heart and soul into each ball…!」

Weerel scatters a large amount of jellyfish over a wide area around Hund, Chinatsu shoots a huge stake of light, and Haruna shoots iron balls filled with all kinds of magic toward Hund. With the sky behind his back, Hund is observing the girls while falling to the ground.

(That girl has been using strange techniques since a while ago. Even though she is overwhelmingly inferior in strength, she sealed my movements and even blew me away this far. If possible, I want to keep her alive and ask her to teach me her techniques. That flashy girl uses some kind of power to divert my attention, in other words, she’s a genuine decoy. The other two are skilled magicians. Water and light, they can use high-rank magic that easily…. Yeah, it’s a waste to kill them. Also, it will affect the reputation of our army if we kill young girls. And the way they boldly stand before me is also wonderful. When I’ve captured this land, I want them to become a bridge of friendship. Then, the first step is to show the overwhelming power and make them yield from the bottom of their hearts. Yeah, that’s good.)

A few seconds have passed in the meantime. Hund is interested in Haruna, who has been using unknown techniques, and the others, who have rare talents, and he wants them to become his subordinates. Meanwhile, the attacks shot by Haruna and others are approaching. At that point, Hund began to move and set up his hands as if he just remembered it.

「I’m sorry I failed to mention it earlier. It’s too rude to do nothing, even though you’re showing me various techniques.」

Hund stopped the stake of Chinatsu’s Garde Ballista that came first head-on. The huge arms swell further and he forcibly kills the momentum of the stake with his power. The stake of light seems to be accompanied by considerable heat that both of Hund’s hands that are in contact with it begin to emit a burnt smell and a sizzling sound. Even so, Hund’s expression remains the same. Rather, he seems to be excited that he found a great talent.

「The ability that I have in my body is 『Infinite Variety』.」

The stake screamed. The swelling muscles in his arms are so bizarre that they look like balloons. When the arms grew to the size of his torso, the stake finally couldn’t endure it and was shattered. By the way, this Garde Ballista is a level 60 Radiant Magic. It’s a magic that specializes in durability that it’s called an indestructible bullet, and even Haruna with her Doggan Staff can’t destroy it.

「This power grants me self-modification. Not only my muscles, but it can also change my skeletal structure freely.」

Immediately after destroying the stake, Haruna’s black bullets come next. There are four of them. The balls are approaching from all directions as if trying to surround Hund, and they are freely changing their trajectories in the air even now. In response to this changing attack, Hund spins his body around in the air.

――――Clang!

The moment Haruna’s black bullets collided with Hund, there was a heavy sound as if metals had collided with each other. The next moment, all of Haruna’s attacks were repelled in all directions.

(That’s not the sound of colliding with flesh…!)

Haruna opened her eyes slightly, but she immediately squinted her eyes and stared at Hund’s body. Then, she sees that something white and pointed is sticking out from all over the blue body. They are as sharp as the tip of a sword, but they are not something artificial. Those are something important that every living thing has.

「Just like this, I can easily put my bones outside.」

Yes, what repelled Haruna’s attack were the bones that came out of Hund’s body. Shoulders, elbows, knees, abdomen, back, heels―― there should be no bones of that shape in those areas, but regardless of whether originally there were bones or not, there are bones sticking out of his body similar to the narwhal horn on his head. They seem to be quite durable that they could withstand the impact of the lead balls made of the black magic stone.

――――BAAAM!

Hund landed with such a roaring sound, and at the same time, Haruna mowed his legs with her Doggan Staff. However, what resounded was not the sound of flesh being torn apart, but another heavy sound of metals colliding with each other. New bone blades were formed on Hund’s legs, which Haruna aimed at.

「A merciless attack, as expected――」

「Not yeeeeeeet!」

Haruna attacks fiercely, and sparks are scattered from the edge of the blade of the Doggan Staff. The attack is not over yet. The current Doggan Staff is applied with Weerel’s Vadarizates, and it keeps slashing like a chainsaw. Even after giving the impact of the first hit, Haruna is pushing the Doggan Staff powerfully to cut off Hund’s bones.

(A magic that even Urbul can’t use…! She’s more and more valuable!)

Granting Vadarizates was not in vain. The blade of the Doggan Staff is about to reach half of the bones, which tougher than Hund’s flesh.

「But, you are now defenseless!」

「Excuse me!」

The moment Hund tried to swing his fist to Haruna, the very conspicuous emerald green Therese appeared next to her. At that moment, Hund’s gaze and mind are diverted there immediately. And his fist also goes there.

(Nuh!? It’s useless even if I’m aware of it in advance, huh!)

Hund’s fist changed into a palm attack. It hit Therese’s shield, and an earth-shaking roaring sound reverberated. Although the feeling of being crushed was transmitted to the Staff Fortress Coalesce, Therese endured the strong attack while standing firmly. However――

「Gah…!?」

「If you’ve prepared the next step, then I just need to respond accordingly.」

From Hund’s palm heel, a bone spear concentrated on one point appeared. The white spear pierced through Coalesce and also pierced the armor of Sculpture, making fresh blood scattered.
