Chapter 255.1. Mega Queen VS Queen Mii-chan
Mega Queen Ant, or the typical template with a familiar touch…
Miu sighed as she looked at the magical war machine Queen Ant standing before her with half-closed eyes.
She casually brushed her gray hair back and gazed at it with her slightly narrowed, ice-blue, round eyes.
“That magic war machine is solid evidence, huh? I’d love to know how you made it.”
It has a crimson ruby-like exoskeleton and thick, sturdy armor.
Its ant-like jaws had transformed into vicious blades capable of easily tearing through the likes of Miu.
Unlike Queen Ant she defeated before, this one lacked the elongated abdomen for egg-laying, had a more slender and compact body, and bore wings.
As if to intimidate, the claws of its forelegs, poised for attack, displayed a jewel-like gleam and a cutting sharpness that could slice through anything.
Various missile pods and machine guns were attached all over its body, confirming its status as a magical war machine.
-Mega Queen: Level 82, Weakness: Lightning-
The cawing of a crow could be heard from somewhere, analyzing the enemy and displaying its information before her eyes.
Its level was on a completely different scale from any human strength I encountered so far. It certainly had the arrogance to match.
“A pretty high level. I wonder how long it can hold out.”
“Heh! Worry not! My magic-man combination reduces the consumption of mana stones. I can last long enough to take down a little girl like you!”
“Responding to a maiden’s murmurs in such a manner isn’t very gentlemanly, you know?”
Hearing Miu’s mutter, Fen chuckled through the microphone. His voice trembled slightly, perhaps from excitement or battle nerves.
“Well then, shall we test if you can withstand my magic?”
Miu’s current job setup consisted of Grand Mage as the main job, Ninja as the second job, and Saintess as the sub-job.
Yes, I had finally acquired the Grand Mage job. I had joined the ranks of Odin’s grandpa in terms of job title.
“Just a little girl’s magic!”
Mega Queen spread its jaws as if roaring and launched an attack with its forelegs.
“I don’t like impatient people!”
.
Miu swung her radiant sword to the side without worrying about the approaching forelegs. The trajectory of light left behind formed a magic circle.
[Thunderclap of Heaven and Earth]
A sound like striking metal and glass echoed as lightning, carrying immense heat, descended as columns from above and below the Mega Queen, towered over it.
Illuminating the surroundings intensely, the magical thunder pierced the heavens and melted the earth, displaying its devastating power.
“What… What’s this power?”
Mega Queen’s exoskeleton started melting under the lightning’s penetration. The mechanical body discharged electricity and trembled. Fen’s astonished cries echoed through the mic.
Miu calmly observed, thinking that this magical strike might have dealt significant damage, but it seemed things wouldn’t be that simple.
[Magic Break]
The Mega Queen’s body wavered like a mirage, and the Grand Sorcerer’s magic vanished instantly.
“Oh… It’s Shin’s magic, huh? It’s so blatantly conspicuous that it’s suspicious…”
It was magic that confirmed there was Shin here. In the original story, only Shin could use this magic.
That’s why it felt suspicious.
“Heh, heh! Nice try surprising me. A magic user who can’t use magic is as useless as a stray cat. You’re no match for me!”
“Thanks for the cliché villain dialogue. But even for just a moment, it caused quite a bit of damage… Oh… It’s regenerating.”
Mega Queen’s armor was melting, revealing its insides, but the armor wriggled like slime and rapidly repaired itself.
“Hahaha, this Queen Ant possesses the original monster’s ability, self-regeneration! And now, it also has this power!”
[Summon Imperial Ant]
Magic circles appeared on the ground around Mega Queen, and the nostalgic Imperial Ants began to appear in rows.
Each of them carried a spear and a large shield, standing in formation. There were likely around a hundred of them.
“… You’ve thought this through. You’re planning to have the tank-type ants take the damage for you.”
“Exactly! With this, I can even withstand fatal attacks that penetrate our armor.”
Fen seemed to be in high spirits. Imperial Ants raised their shields and prepared to use their combat skills.
[Paladin’s Pride]
A burst of mystical light enveloped the large shields as a skill to protect allies activated.
“With this, the damage to Queen Ant becomes zero. And the most distinct aspect that sets these creatures apart from regular monsters is this!”
[Create Magic Blade]
The four front claws shimmered with mana, and magical short swords were conjured at their tips and attached.
These blades were imbued with blazing fire, icy cold, electrifying thunder, and gusty wind.
Despite being called swords, the ones attached to Mega Queen’s massive front claws were as long as spears. However, being swords, they seemed versatile and adept at close combat.
“Hahaha, invincible, an invincible formation!”
“An invincible formation, huh? Let’s see about that.”
Twisting her body and channeling her strength into her hand, Miu swung the radiant sword horizontally.
A crisp, melodious sound reminiscent of a bell resonated as the whip-like sword transformed into a blade, extending towards the Mega Queen.
“I’m skilled with a blade too!”
Observing the approaching whip of light as it twisted, Mega Queen swung its sword in response.
It deflected and parried the midsection of the twisting whip with the sword on its lower left front leg. Even as the relentless tip of the whip advanced, it caught the whip with the upper left front leg and countered with an attack from the right leg.
“Hmm.”
Her whip of light that got deflected was skillfully pulled back by my wrist’s twist. Fen’s unexpectedly smooth and sharp attack caused Miu to narrow her eyes slightly. Ah, so Fen can handle a sword.
“Ugh!”
The remaining front leg launched an attack, and as the blazing fire blade approached, Miu calmly kicked off the ground and sidestepped.
