Crush the Mechanical and Grotesque Puppets! 6
* * *
Generallllllll!-General Orbooooos!
Mage Chubos, who should have gone to the front of the plaza to check on the situation, returned to General Orbos, weaving through the full-body armored soldiers.
A broad smile was plastered on his white-painted face but the intense sounds of battle were still echoing from the front of the plaza.
Whats going on?
Just as General Orbos was about to ask Chubos that question
Now, look into my eyes!
Chuboss eyes glowed an eerie green, and his consciousness sank into a warm and comfortable drowsiness.
Hey, General Orbos I think a black-haired, black-eyed girl is going to come here soon
Yes
Defeat her, even at the cost of your life.
Yes
Well, if you actually kill her, Ill be in a bit of trouble but
Yes
Itll probably be fine! Shes not someone you can defeat! Fight with all your might, and buy me as much time as possible!
Yes
Shes a merciless opponent, so youll probably be killed but
Do your best anyway! Youre dying on the battlefield, thats what you want, right?
Well
Youll face the strongest enemy and fight to the end without backing down a single step! Isnt that cool?
Yes
Youre a warrior of the honorable Tomooou family, right?
Yes!
Are you a coward?
No!
Then you cant run away, can you?
Thats right!
Youll fight at the cost of your life, right!? Youre a hero, right!?
Of course Of course I am!!
General Orbos, spurred on by Chuboss words, opened his drowsy eyes wide, his fighting spirit burning, and swung his large sword around!
Chubos nodded with satisfaction, and then, with a theatrical gesture, put on a sad face and lowered his eyebrows.
But Im a little sorry! To ask such a dangerous thing of you, General
Guhaha! Dont worry, Chubos-dono! I, too, have no intention of easily falling behind the council faction nobles lapdogs!
Zaan!
General Orbos, thrusting his large sword into the cobblestones, laughed boisterously.
Is thaaat so? But but, as an apology! Ill teach you a special magic spell, General!
A special magic spell?
Chubos, grinning, said to General Orbos, who tilted his head.
Listen carefully, theres a lid on the left shoulder of your armor, see? When the enemy appears, open it, press the protrusion inside, and say this
* * *
That conversation happened a few minutes ago.
After telling General Orbos about the special magic spell, Chubos headed towards the Dukes mansion, where La Sbos Daychib is waiting.
And shortly after that, General Orboss enemy to be defeated at the cost of his life, the black-haired, black-eyed girl, arrived at his location, destroying the Mechanical Soldiers one after another.
General Orbos first unleashed a powerful horizontal slash at the girl.
Hes one of the best swordsmen in the country, having mastered the Sword Saint Style, and his skills are high.
Furthermore, with his physical abilities enhanced by the armor, that blow, if it connected, had enough power to easily cleave even steel.
If it connected.
But the girl easily dodged it, ducking low to the ground.
And with a single leap, she escaped General Orboss range and turned to face him.
General Orbos, swinging his large sword around and intimidating her clicked his tongue.
Hes a man who has done all sorts of shady things for the sake of promotion.
Bribery, covering up military incidents and scandals.
Hes done it all.
But on the other hand, hes also a true warrior.
Just from this series of movements, he understood the girls high combat abilities.
He could also clearly feel the pressure emanating from her, due to her high mana capacity, characteristic of strong individuals.
Shes not someone you can defeat.
That Chubos, he has a point.
(But I cant just lose easily!)
But General Orbos didnt falter.
Burning with fighting spirit, he faced the black-haired, black-eyed girl.
He has to defeat this girl, even at the cost of his life.
Because
Because?
Suddenly, General Orboss mind clouded over, his heart filled with an unexplainable anxiety.
But hes in the middle of a battle.
This is not the time to be thinking about unnecessary things.
Anyway, fight.
Fight!
I am Orbos da Tomooou!! Your head I shall take it!!
After proudly announcing his name, General Orbos opened the lid on the left shoulder of his armor and pressed the switch inside!
He decided to use his trump card the special magic spell that Chubos told him about!
Awaken! Heroic Giant Armor!!
It was the moment General Orbos chanted the magic spell he was taught.
Suddenly, his armor glowed and a powerful gravitational force was generated around him!
!!
Emi, the black-haired, black-eyed girl, immediately jumped back, creating more distance between herself and General Orbos!
But the full-body armored soldiers or Mechanical Soldiers, who were near General Orbos, couldnt do the same.
They were pulled by the intense gravity, along with the cobblestones ripped from the ground, and stuck to General Orboss armor, one after another!
General Orboss silhouette, already large at nearly 2 meters tall transformed into something even larger!
And then!
N-Guwaaaaaah!? What is this!?
Hiiiiiih!?
The something with white fur, who had been chased by something and jumped out from the back alley into the Third Plaza, and the dirty-looking something clinging to it, were also caught in the gravitational pull and stuck to General Orboss armor!
!!
A few seconds later.
When the gravitational force from the armor subsided.
Standing before Emi was
Oh this is amazing! Power surging through me!!
General Orbos, his armor covered with Mechanical Soldiers and cobblestones, his body enlarged to a height of about 4 meters!
He looked like a distorted giant, made of a mixture of steel and rock!
With this I can win! Guhaha GUHAHAHAHA!!
For some reason, General Orbos seemed to be able to freely move his thick arms and legs, formed by the attached Mechanical Soldiers and other debris, as if they were his real limbs.
He swung his arms and legs, testing them, and then turned to face Emi, laughing triumphantly.
Now, prepare to die, Grim Reaper-like girl!
And then, General Orbos held up his giant fist towards her.
But.
H-Haaaaah!? I-I cant move!?
Hiiiih!? Whats this? What is thiiis!?
At that moment, some commotion could be heard from around General Orboss enlarged chest.
Wondering what was going on, he looked, and there was a white-furred werewolf with white-rimmed glasses, and a gaunt, emaciated man wearing a robe that looked like rags.
Apparently, he had accidentally caught them when he was pulling in the Mechanical Soldiers earlier.
Let go of me! Let go of me!!
Hes coming hes coming!!
And these two men, they were really noisy.
They kept shouting incomprehensible things.
He cant fight with these things stuck to him.
Its breaking his concentration.
General Orbos, using his giant right arm, mercilessly tried to crush the two men stuck to his chest.
But it was at that moment!
ZUGAGAGAGAGA!!
With a tremendous roar, a black, giant shadow burst out of the narrow back alley, destroying its walls, and into the Third Plaza!!
M-What!?
That black, giant something was charging straight towards General Orbos!
General Orbos instinctively tried to dodge it, but he hadnt yet grasped the sensation of his own enlarged body.
So, he couldnt completely avoid it.
His right arm was hit by the black, giant somethings charge.
That moment.
His right arm.
BAGAAAAAAAAAAAN!!
With a deafening roar, scattering the remains of Mechanical Soldiers around it.
It was blown off.
HAAAAAAAAAAH!?
It was blown off from the elbow down.
It was a part that had been augmented by the power of the armor, and since it didnt include General Orboss flesh and blood, there was no pain.
However, the shock of having his right arm destroyed by something unknown, just when he thought he had become invincible, brought back the emotion of fear to General Orboss heart, which should have been sealed by Chuboss brainwashing!
No matter how terrifying Emi, the monster hes facing, is, he doesnt feel fear.
Thats how hes been brainwashed.
But what if its a monster other than Emi?
The answer is self-explanatory, if you look at his pale face and the cold sweat dripping from his face!
Thud!!!
Now, that giant something that destroyed General Orboss right arm stopped flying and landed on the cobblestones of the Third Plaza.
And then, it slowly turned around to face General Orbos.
It was.
A giant beetle with a black, glossy shell and five horns.
A terrifying monster with an extraordinary obsession with honey.
Its name is
Destroy Bunbun!!!
