Warriorsโ Adventures After the Doomed End by the Most Powerful Villainous Aristocrat ใI Failed to Avoid the Doomed End, but I Was Saved by the Main Heroine, a Saint Who Turned Into a Yandere Just Before the Execution. Now Iโm Going to Get Serious and Become a Warrior~
โHoly Barrier!โ
When I opened my eyes, the pale blue rays were blocked by a translucent barrier that appeared to envelop me.
โV-vane sanโฆ Are you okayโฆ?โ
Then, along with that delicate voice, a girl rushed over.
It was Chloe.
Why are you hereโฆ?!
โChloe?! It’s dangerous, run away!โ
I hurriedly stopped Chloe.
This is too much.
โChloe! Please run away! This thing is a monster! Even I might not be able to protect you!โ
โNo, I will not run awayโฆโ
โWhyโฆ?โ
I asked her in a slightly angry voice.
โI can’t just stand by and watch the person I love die!โ
Chloe opened her eyes wide and said that.
โIt’s okay, I won’t be defeatedโฆ Let me help you.โ
โHey, Chloe?!โ
Chloe turned toward the male dragonkin and began to chant something.
It seemed she was serious about fighting.
Support was welcome, butโฆ Chloe was still a rear guard.
I had to do something to keep him from targeting Chloeโฆ!
โHmmโฆ One more person.โ
The man muttered with interest.
Damnโฆ He looks so confidentโฆ!
At this point, I couldn’t worry about the details.
Should I use thatโฆ?
โSupport magicโใExtreme Enhancementใโ
The next moment, a power unlike anything before surged through my entire body.
ใExtreme Enhancementใ is a super-class support magic. It’s a cheat magic that increases all abilities by 100%.
In other words, combined with the effect of ใSolitudeใ, my abilities were all multiplied by six.
โฆHowever, there are naturally drawbacks to this.
The effect lasts only five minutes, and once it ends, the user faints.
That’s whyโI’ll take this guy down quickly!
I kicked the ground hard enough to create a crater, closing the distance to the dragon-kin in an instant.
โJustโฆ fall already!โ
And before the momentum could be broken, I swung at the horn with a flash.
โHmphโฆโ
However, my sword was blocked just as it was about to touch the horn.
Not yet!!!
I spun my body aroundโฆ
โIt’s over!โ
Using the technique of a spinning slash, I swung my sword horizontally, slicing through the dragon-human’s sword along with it.
Alright, this is my victoryโ
โโThat’s why I said you’re too naive!โ
The dragon-human had already grabbed my sword with his other hand.
Huhโฆ?
He blocked my enhanced strike with his bare handsโฆ?
At that moment, I finally noticed something off.
This guyโฆ the aura he’s emanating is completely different from beforeโฆ!
It’s likeโฆ a seasoned warrior.
I felt an aura that surpassed even that of a sword saint.
Could it beโฆ the effect of the technique he used earlier, โLiberationโ?
But wait! There’s still the follow-up attack from โWrapped Windโ!
The blast wave struck the dragon-kin who had blocked my sword.
โโฆHuh?โ
However, the dragon-kin stood there without flinching.
โThere’s no way a mere breeze could blow me away.โ
โHuh?!โ
That wasโฆ a breeze?
What’s going onโฆ ?
It worked earlierโฆ
Is this his true powerโฆ?!
โWhoโฆ who are youโฆ?โ
I stepped back from him and asked.
โMeโฆ ? โฆWell, I’ll tell you as a parting gift.โ
He cleared his throat and said,
โI am Ornikus, the Dragon Emperorโฆ once hailed as the strongest of the dragon-kin.โ
โHuhโฆ?โ
Dragon Emperor Ornikusโฆ I know that name.
The strongest figure in history, the king of the dragon raceโฆ That’s how he was described in the original story.
And his power is probably on par with that of the final boss, the Evil God.
But what surprised me even more wasโฆ
โYou’reโฆ supposed to be dead, rightโฆ?โ
In the story, Ornikus is already explained to have died 100 years ago.
โHmmโฆ you knew that tooโฆ Yes, I died 100 years ago.โ
โWhat?!โฆ Then, why are you hereโฆโ
โI have no obligation to tell you thatโฆโ
Ornikus said that, then drew another sword from his back.
Could it beโฆ two swords?!
Orniks didn’t even give me time to be surprised, closing the distance between us in an instant.
It seemed he was trying to settle this in an instant.
โHuh?!โ
Orniks’ sword swung down toward my neck.
I managed to block it with my swordโ
โGuhโฆโ
An incredible shock traveled through my arm along the sword.
Damnโฆ what kind of strength is this?
My arm throbbed slightly.
Then, another sword attacked from the left.
โDamnโฆ!โ
Just as the sword was about to slice through my shoulder, I twisted my body and dodged it.
Even with the โUltimate Enhancement,โ I could barely dodge itโฆ
โDamnโฆโ
From then on, I was on the defensive.
Orniks skillfully wielded both swords and launched a relentless attack on me.
As a result, I had no opportunity to attack.
Block, dodge, parry, dodgeโฆ
Repeating that cycle.
In terms of sword technique and skill, I was clearly superior.
Howeverโฆ even with โExtreme Enhancement,โ the difference in physical strength between me and Ornikus, hailed as the strongest in history, was insurmountable.
โDamnโฆโ
It had been nearly three minutes since I had used โExtreme Enhancement.โ
Damn itโฆ I need to attack soonโฆ!
Just as I was thinking that, a pitiful โsnapโ shook my eardrums.
โWhatโฆ?โ
When I looked in the direction of the sound, there was my sword, snapped clean in half.
Noโฆ Could it be that it couldn’t withstand Orniks’ brute strengthโฆ?!
โThe battle is over, I suppose.โ
Then, a sharp strike came down from above.
With a broken sword, I didn’t think I could block it.
Damn itโฆ Am I going to die hereโฆ?!
โโโRaika!!!โ
In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck Orniks from the side.
No wayโฆ!?
โVane! I’ve come to help you!โ
There stood Felt, wielding a large staff.
That guyโฆ I thought he had run away, but he had gone to get his staff.
โHmphโฆ More obstacles.โ
Orniks, hit directly by Felt’s attack, flinched for a moment.
During that time, I distanced myself from Orniks and looked around for something that could be used as a swordโ
โHoly Sword Summon! Vane, take this!โ
After finishing her long incantation, Chloe threw a sword at me.
โHoly Sword Summon?!โ
I recognized that spell.
Becauseโฆ wasn’t that the spell Chloe learned when Felt was in trouble toward the end of the original storyโฆ?
โWell, never mind! Chloe, you saved me!โ
I drew the Holy Sword from its sheath.
In an instant, an unprecedented power surged through my entire body.
The Holy Sword has the ability to buff the user’s entire stats.
Could it beโฆ that the buff from the Holy Sword is now five times stronger due?!
โWith thisโฆ I can win!โ
I closed the distance to Ornikus at bullet-like speed.
And first, a diagonal slash!
โFastโฆ!?โ
Ornikus’ face contorts in agony.
Yes, thanks to the Holy Sword’s effect, my attack speed was now incomparable to before.
Now, Ornikus was forced to defend himself.
Diagonal slash, straight slash, reverse diagonal slashโฆ I slash at Ornikus from various directions, and thenโ
โWhatโฆ!?โ
For a moment, Orniks couldn’t withstand my attack and lost his balance.
โโHoly Chain!โ
Taking advantage of that opening, a golden chain appeared from the ground.
The chain wrapped around Orniks’ entire body.
โIt was Chloe.
She must have timed it perfectly to provide support.
I closed the distance in one swift move, aiming for Ornikus’s neck, which was immobilized by the Holy Chainโ
โWe’ve won!โ
A flash.
Ornikus couldn’t dodge and had his neck cut, his head rolling onto the ground.
โDid we defeat himโฆ?โ
Ornikus hailed as the strongest in historyโฆ Ornikus said to be as powerful as a demon godโฆ did we defeat him?
โWe did it!โ
Then, Felt, holding his staff, ran over to me and jumped into my arms.
โWe did it!โ
โGuhโฆโ
However, Felt, who had tried to jump on me, was knocked away by Chloe in midair and flew off into the distance.
Are you okay? That sounded pretty dullโฆ
Then, Chloe ran over and hugged me from behind.
I caught Chloe and hugged her back.
โChloeโฆ Holy Sword, you really saved meโฆโ
โNo, no! โฆIt was worth it to have mastered the โHoly Sword Summoningโ technique back thenโฆโ
Back thenโฆ mastered?
Wait, what? This skill isn’t something you can just master that easily, is itโฆ?
โHahahaha!!!โ
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from somewhere.
Could it beโฆ
โImpressive teamwork! Well done! Butโฆ don’t think you’ve won yet?โ
Then, the head of Orniksโwhich was now just a headโbegan to speak.
