Chapter 90: VS Dead Adventurer (Four)

Original: Chapter 90: VS Dead Adventurer 4

I hid behind Miss Himeka. Then, I opened my Item Space to prepare for the operation.

“Little Sayuki, here we go!”

“Yes!”

Miss Himeka fired five arrows in quick succession. Her aim seemed to be mainly the skull.

The Dead Adventurer knocked down the arrows with its Sword. However, it couldn’t handle them all, and two arrows pierced it. One in the right eye and the other around the lower jaw.

“Oh, they actually went in.”

“Miss Himeka, you’re amazing.”

“Little Sayuki, can you approach from the right? I’ll approach from the left.”

I replied with a “Yes” and immediately ran. Hmm… the blood flowing down from my upper body is passing through my thighs and hitting my knees, splashing as I run. It’s too fresh of a sensation…

“Haa, haa, haa…”

I’m getting a little out of breath.

I felt a slight blurring of consciousness. I might not last long. If this attack doesn’t work, I’ll have to drink a Potion. No, that’s wrong. I have to defeat the Dead Adventurer with this attack.

I refocused and glared at the Dead Adventurer. The Dead Adventurer pulled out one of the Arrows. However, the Arrow in its right eye was still stuck.

The Dead Adventurer shook its head from side to side. It seemed to be confirming our positions, Miss Himeka and me.

It must have judged that it would be fighting with one eye if it stayed like this. I felt that it wanted to take the time to remove the Arrow.

Then, I need to buy some time.

The Dead Adventurer thrust its Sword into the ground.

“Here it comes!”

“Little Sayuki, now!”

“I know. I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

This is the moment when the Dead Adventurer releases its two Swords and uses Magic.

From what I’ve seen in our battles so far, the moment this Monster uses Magic is when it shows the biggest opening. That’s why I thought this moment was the biggest chance for an attack.

However, it only uses Magic when there’s distance between us, so our Weapons can’t reach it.

So, what should we do?

“Hit it, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

I threw the Bomb with a girl’s throw, but with considerable power. This is a Bomb I received from Miss Rilril when we started this Quest.

I’ve heard that this Bomb explodes when thrown hard and hits something. So, the only problem is whether my control will allow it to hit the Dead Adventurer.

“It’s okay, Little Sayuki. Little Sayuki has high Technique Status. So, unless you throw it way off course, the Accuracy Correction applied during throwing should ensure it hits somewhere on the enemy’s body.”

That’s right. The Bomb flew much straighter than I expected. Moreover, because I have power, it had a speed like a boy’s throw.

The Dead Adventurer is probably trying to use Fire Magic. It stretched out both hands towards us.

The Bomb I threw hit its outstretched left hand perfectly.

“Yes!”

It was the moment Miss Himeka shouted with joy.

A heavy, unpleasant sound that resonated throughout my body rang out with a thud.

At the same time, a powerful Blast blew my hair and torn clothes backward. My stomach and breasts were exposed for a moment. And because the Blast was too strong, I couldn’t move forward, and I couldn’t breathe for a short time.

I checked the Dead Adventurer’s condition. Its left arm was raised high, and its upper body was almost bent back, looking at the ceiling.

“Miss Himeka, it’s here! It’s the biggest chance!”

“Little Sayuki! Nice, nice! I love you!”

Oh my, Miss Himeka confessed to me. I’m getting shy.

We both quickly approached the Dead Adventurer. The Dead Adventurer somehow raised its upper body. But it still hasn’t been able to pick up its Sword.

Miss Himeka entered the Dead Adventurer’s range before I did. She’s smiling.

“Ahaha, too bad! You have no chance of winning anymore!”

Miss Himeka held her Sword with both hands and swung it strongly. She cut off the Dead Adventurer’s right arm.

Slightly delayed, I entered the Dead Adventurer’s range. Then, I put strength into my stomach and swung my Hammer.

“That hurt a lot earlier! This is payback!”

I slammed the Dead Adventurer’s skull with all my might.

“Ugoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Huh? I put more strength into it than I thought. Ah, 〈Adversity Enhancement〉 must have Activation. A lot of blood flowed while I was running, and my HP decreased rapidly.

But thanks to that, the Dead Adventurer flew about three meters. Looking closely, its skull was cracked and quite sunken.

“Whew! Little Sayuki, that’s amazing power!”

However, the Dead Adventurer is not dead yet. It sat down on its butt, but it was immediately trying to stand up again with its hands.

Miss Himeka rushed in and swung her Sword beautifully.

“Now, this is the finishing blow!”

The Dead Adventurer’s head flew into the air with a pop.

Phew… I wonder if we won.

But it wasn’t over yet. The skull that should have rolled on the ground floated up and was trying to return to its body.

“No way. It’s super persistent.”

Ghost Monsters are this persistent. Its Durability is amazing.

“Little Sayuki, let’s go all the way!”

“Yes! This, this, this!”

“Eii, eii, too! Just die already, die already!”

We both mercilessly attacked the Dead Adventurer’s bones. I swung my Hammer with all my might about seven or eight times. I broke many black bones. And then…

『You have Subjugated the Dead Adventurer』

Finally, the System Message was displayed. I was relieved.

The Dead Adventurer’s jet-black bones decayed and disappeared. Only Armor and Weapon remained.

Phew… I completely lost my strength.

Then, happiness welled up, and I gave Miss Himeka a smile. Miss Himeka was showing the same expression as me.

We naturally jumped and gave each other a high-five with both hands around shoulder level.

“Big victory!”

Ahhh! Ugya!

I seem to have made quite unreasonable movements. The wound opened, and hot blood flowed out in gushes.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Waaah, that was so painful I couldn’t stand it. Oh, wow, I only have 9 HP left.”

“That’s cutting it close. Little Sayuki, recover quickly, recover.”

“Yes, I’ll recover immediately… But, somehow, I feel good. I’m really glad we won.”

“Yeah. I’m so happy that my whole body feels super good. We’re kind of similar, aren’t we?”

“Yes, I think so too!”

I was making a bright smile that surprised even myself.
