Chapter 172

(172) Ancient Nova

Translator: Tseirp

The Leviathans attack swallowed the island and the islands shape changed in a blink of the eye.

Sheena!

That can no longer be called lightning. Isnt that an Eldritch Blast that consumes everything?

Ichino-sama, that attack was only aimed at the surface! Since the labyrinth is deep underground, Sheena should be all right.

I know but

Is she really fine?

That labyrinth is not a normal labyrinth but an artificial labyrinth. There were things like pipes trailing here and there.

I cant imagine the facilitys equipment surviving being bathed in lightning. If just the air conditioning breaks down in that underground labyrinth, the monkeys would suffocate to death.

The Leviathan began moving.

It intends to get closer to the island.

Ichino-sama, quickly, your spell!

I know but, I cant get an aim on it.

Ive not used Ancient Nova even once until then so I didnt know the speed and the size of the flames. Moreover, since I was adding Boost to it, I didnt know the speed even more. If only theres a way to make it stop for a moment

Or rather, I missed my greatest opportunity just now.

The Leviathan stopped for a split second when it released that attack.

I would have been able to somehow pull it off at that time.

But I couldnt wait for that to happen again.

Since there was no guarantee that Sheena wont die from the next attack.

If thats the case, I just have to aim at it

(If only Marina was here, I could probably hit it if I follow her instructions.)

I knew that I couldnt hope for something that wasnt possible but I wanted to somehow make it such that I wont miss.

Ichino-sama, it is fine as long as you aim it in the direction of the enemy. And Carol also has a plan that might work.

Plan?

Carol will dive into the sea below the boat. The effect of the Temptress skill manifests even during the day when Carol is underground since that is the case, it might work if Carol dives down under the ocean surface as well. Carol has the bucket we used to throw water out of the boat. If Carol turns this upside down, Carol can have enough air to last underwater for a couple of minutes.

Carol, your Captivating Fragrance of the Moon is a skill that invites monsters with smell! Even if it is only released in the air pocket made by the wooden bucket, if that smell spreads into the ocean

Carol heard that sharks can smell blood from a kilometer away In the first place, Carol doesnt know either if Carols skill works on the Leviathan.

I will release my magic the moment the Leviathan changes direction. Immediately return to the boat after that. Even if the Leviathan doesnt change direction and I dont release my magic, swim back to the boat once two minutes pass. If that saying about the sharks olfactory sense is true, even if it doesnt work on the Leviathan, theres a high possibility that the smell will cause the monsters that escaped just now to turn back.

Okay. Carol swears on this slave collar that Carol will definitely follow Ichino-samas orders.

Carol nodded as she turned over a large bucket to capture air and prepared to jump into the sea.

Carol, the boat might sway greatly once I release my magic. Be careful not to hit your head.

Yes, Carol prays for Ichino-samas fortune in battle.

Carol said that and dove into the sea.

I he

ard the sound of the bucket hitting the bottom of the boat. She probably pressed the bucket against there to stabilize it.

I didnt count how much time passed.

If the Leviathan showed any gesture of releasing the next attack, I would immediately move to attack.

After all, if I allowed the next Leviathan attack, I would lose the meaning for this battle.

Then a minute passed.

The Leviathan opened its large mouth and gathered power at its horn.

Shit, I cant wait any longer!

I thought.

Boost Ancient

As I was about to cast my magic, lightning suddenly retracted from the Leviathans horn.

Then, it changed its direction.

Towards us.

(Youve done it, Carol!)

The Leviathan was heading straight in our direction.

In this situation, neither the attack speed nor the enemys speed would matter.

Aiming directly straight at the enemy would most likely hit.

Carol, hold on tight! You better not drown!

I shouted,

Boost Ancient Nova!

and released my magic.

I was immediately struck with the sensation of my energy being uprooted and snatched from my body.

It was a sensation I had not felt until then, an intense feeling of weakness greater than when I had magical power depletion.

At the same time, a minutely small grain of flame was released from my wand.

Its speed was quicker than the eye could capture but I wondered what was the meaning of such a flame.

That flame struck the Leviathan.

Then, there was an impact. It wasnt an explosion or a blast.

All the surrounding space was absorbed and the released Big Bang-like destructive power swept the boat backward greatly.(TL: The direct translation was Big Van-like but it didnt make any sense at all unless he was referring to truck-san? lol)

Carol !

Ichino-sama!

The rolling waves swept Carol but I grabbed the hand she stretched out. I felt like I was about to lose consciousness from the feeling of weakness but I summoned the last of my strength and pulled her up to the boat in one go.

Was it defeated?

Carol said as she stared at the Leviathan that was still caught within the blast flames.

Of course. If it survives that, I no longer have any chance of winning ah ..

Thats when I came to a realisation.

My level didnt rise.

Even though my Fire, Water, Wind and Earth Magicians were at the peak, my Jobless job still has room to level up.

If my level didnt go up, it meant

I wanted to think that it was a condition whereby its experience points didnt come in because it was a boss but it was wishful thinking.

Because a gigantic body appeared from within the flames that was clearing up.

It survived. It was considerably weakened but it was still alive.

Its wounds are closing up.

It was beginning to self-regenerate.

Does that mean now is the only time to defeat it?

Ill release the same magic again.

Thats reckless, Ichino-sama! Your magical power wont sustain it! Not only is it doubtful if Ichino-samas magic will activate with your current condition, we also dont know what will happen if you activate it! Magical Power Boost might be a trump card for magicians to use during important battles but at the same time, it is also a dangerous magic! If Ichino-sama dies

Carol will not be able to leave My World and Pionia would also be troubled but, theres Torerul-sama. That person will most likely come to my world to slack. You can appeal to Torerul-sama when that time comes I can tell from that attack from the Leviathan just now. If that thing reaches the continent where there are countless people, thousands or tens of thousands of people will die.

Coming to this world, I thought that I will be able to do anything with my growth cheat power and Jobless cheat power. No, I believe I can do it.

Therefore, if I dont defeat it, who will!

Prepare yourself, Leviathan! Boost

Gan

A dull sound struck the back of my head and my weakened body suffered immense damage.

When I collapsed, I saw the figure of Carol crying while holding onto the oar.

Ichino-sama, sorry. But Carol cannot live without Ichino-sama.

Carol said as she pulled my body and entered My World at the same time, my consciousness once again fell into darkness.

The shadows of two human-like beings that suddenly disappeared and the flames that assaulted it just now. And the mysterious smell that controlled its consciousness. The Leviathan that was being wary of all that detected the appearance of a new presence.

I thought I saw a huge explosion what happened?

A human girl on the island said while laughing.

The Leviathan bared its fangs.

Because even though the appearance was different, it could detect that it was the human that asserted itself as the Demon Lord, the one who sealed it.

Then, as the Leviathan was about to release lightning,

For you who havent regenerated your horn, you are out of your depth challenging me. Thousand Dark Swords.

She the reincarnated Demon Lord FamirisRaritei Kusunoki Miri released a gigantic sword of Darkness that pierced the body of the Leviathan and that darkness swallowed its body.

Then, in the end, all that remained was a calm sea and a burnt island as well as a small unmanned boat.
