A Reincarnated Man Unknowingly Plunges the Highly Humid Heroines Into a Chastity-Reversal Death Game World ~Saving All the Heroines Who Are Destined for a Death Ending in a Death Game World, and Making Them All Gloomy~ - Chapter 16

We are ――

Nia, wrapped in magic power, dashed freely in every direction, toying with Oldelan.

“Hey hey hey hey! You’re pretty strong… Tch, you’ve even got magic outer skin and magic reinforcement just like those moon whores!! At this rate, evolving into an absolute barrier is only a matter of time, huh.”

“You… compared to when you attacked the guild—you’ve gotten weaker?”

“—Gyahaha! Well, I’ve got my own ways to power up over here! Unlike you guys who just get stronger whenever you feel like it!”

The hatchet and sword clashed.

They locked blades. Oldelan pushed hard with his hatchet, but Nia didn’t budge an inch.

With pure arm strength, Nia completely overpowered the two-meter-tall giant of a man.

“Unique Magic Skill [Force]”

Whoosh, float.

The rubble all around suddenly lifted into the air.

It all came crashing down on Oldelan from straight above at once.

Nia’s unique magic—it was like telekinesis. Simple, and that made it really versatile.

“Whoa!? What the hell is that!!”

Oldelan leaped back big to dodge the rubble raining down on him.

He was the one without any breathing room.

“Magic’s unique evolution line… Authority, or wait, is it a skill!? Shit, the trait inheritance is piling up more and more, huh!”

“I know how to deal with immortals too. You guys, once you die you can only keep regenerating on the spot, right?”

Nia’s eyes, their highlights gone, stared at Oldelan.

“Then I’ll keep killing you and seal you away.”

“Scary~…! Girls really are demons, huh!”

In this world, ways to handle immortals were already established.

There were lots of methods, but what Nia was aiming for was the most primitive one among them.

The method was simple.

When an immortal regenerated from death, they became completely defenseless. If you kept killing them forever right at that moment, the immortal would stay in a dead state.

After that, it was just the work of killing them over and over until they hit their regeneration limit.

In the Ashes to Ashes game, it was commonly called reskilling.

“Tch, fighting strong opponents is such a pain.”

Oldelan readied his gun—but no problem.

I knew the timing and preparatory movements for when he fired.

He held up that stupidly huge gun, shook the muzzle once vertically—yep, just like that.

It was exactly the same as in the game.

“I, one who follows the guidance of blood and reaches the evil dragon. Now, let us devour the gods together!! [Bloody Arrow]!!”

Gyu!

The [Bloody Arrow] flew straight at the fired bullet like it was being sucked in, and they exploded against each other.

The sixth [Bloody Arrow] today. I could still keep going, I could still shoot!!

The compatibility between blood magic and silver-blood bullets was the worst possible, and at the same time the best.

As long as I was here, his bullets wouldn’t hit Nia.

“Aaagh damn it!! Again!! You shot it down!! You shot down my bullet!! My bullet!! Shit! Using the blood-seeking property of the silver-blood formula…! No, you even know my habits!? You’re reading the exact timing I fire!? How can you pull off something like that!!?? Who the hell are you really, you shitty brat!!”

“Pretty amazing, right? My husband-to-be childhood friend.”

“Geh.”

Zubaa.

Nia’s western sword, swung up from the ground like it was crawling, sliced Oldelan’s right hand clean in two.

Plop, clang.

His right hand and the gun it was holding fell.

Oldelan stared at the cross-section of his arm where blood was gushing out.

“…The guy’s bottomless and creepy too, but the girl’s insane… Even with satellite support cut off… I never thought I’d get beaten up this bad in close combat.”

We can take him down. We can kill him.

“Nia, I’ll keep supporting like this, we’ll—”

“…I didn’t plan on using it in a place like this.”

Oldelan held the big hatchet at his hip with his remaining left hand.

It looked like a drawing-the-sword stance. Even if he swung from there, it wouldn’t reach Nia or me.

“Threat level of target designated as ‘Twelve Demonic Stars class.’ Need to respond to physical toughness from high-density magic outer skin.”

What was that stance?

“AMT Device—usage application. —Take it as respect, you two.”

I’d never seen it even in the game.

“Self-authorized by anti-squadron authority—Device ON.”

Why are you raising the hatchet from a position it can’t possibly reach?

“Starting with the most annoying one first—you—UTUSEMI.”

“”Eh?””

Kinn.

Huh?

“Licht?”

Nia? What’s wrong? Why are you turning to look at me?

Your face, your pupils are dilated.

Thud.

Huh? When did the ground get right in front of me? Did I trip? I have to get up—”Ah”—my legs… they’re gone.

My torso, everything below my waist was missing.

My upper and lower body had been cut clean in half.

It hurts, it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts.

I was slashed.

How? The hatchet didn’t even hit.

“A— Ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Nia’s scream.

“Aaah, you’re really loved, kid. No dodging that one.”

Gogogogogogogogo.

Rubble rained down on Oldelan from way up high like meteors.

“Licht? Licht, eh… eh? W-wait, wait, wait.”

Nia came running over. No, focus on the fight.

Oldelan was still not dead.

Shit, I couldn’t make a loud voice.

“O, O most honored progenitor moon, close the wounds of the one I love with your light [Healing Moonlight]”

Pou.

Nia held both hands over my wound.

“A, a, why isn’t the blood stopping… aaaa, why, why, why!?”

Nia kept casting recovery magic on me over and over.

But it only slowed down the bleeding a little.

“Aaaaa no, no…! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do… Legs, Licht’s legs, right, I have to connect them, I have to put them back…”

This was bad. Nia was clearly starting to lose it.

I had to calm Nia down.

“Ni… a.”

“—!! What, Licht, it hurts, right? Aah, I, I’ll, I’ll definitely do something! I won’t let you die no matter—”

Calm down, focus on the battle right now.

The moment I tried to say that—

“Gobo.”

“Eh?”

Drip drip drip.

I ended up coughing blood right in front of Nia’s eyes.

Splatter.

My blood stained her pretty white face.

Gobo, gabo. Black blood clogged my airway.

I wasn’t going to make it.

But you were special. You were the hero of this world.

My death wouldn’t affect your path at—

“…Licht?”

Nia had frozen.

Hey, what’s wrong, making a face like that—

“Licht—no, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Don’t die!! Don’t diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!! Don’t leave meeeeeeeeeee!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Why, why does Licht have to die!! God!! Moon Goddess, please, he’s the only one, the only man I ever loved!! My mate!! Don’t take Licht awaaaaaaaaay, give him baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!”

Nia’s scream.

Something was wrong with her.

Her hair color—her beautiful fresh-green hair kept flashing pure white, then back to green.

Her magic power too—the blue magic power kept turning red…

And her eyes.

Her pupils had slit vertically…

“Ooh ooh, magic power rampage, huh. The transformation’s starting. That obsession is just like them.”

Kinn.

The mountain of rubble got sliced into tiny pieces.

What crawled out was a blood-covered Oldelan.

“Getting killed more than five times in one attack—first time since a thousand years ago. You’re a proper monster, girl.”

Guchu guchu. The crushed flesh was regenerating like it was rewinding.

Suddenly, Nia’s magic power calmed.

“Why are you still alive, why did you cut Licht?”

“Huh? Gyahaha, obvious, isn’t it—because I’m immortal.”

“—Immortal, heart, the Moon Goddess teachings… if you have an immortal heart, you can heal wounds?”

“That’s just propaganda. The moon monster’s… ah… wait, Moon Goddess religion? …Don’t tell me they’ve already taken over the entire religious system? Losing a thousand years ago hurt, but losing a hundred years ago was the real decisive blow, huh.”

“Hand it over, your heart, your heart—for my childhood friend—!!”

What was happening?

Nia’s hair suddenly grew long and turned pure white.

White hair…? What was that form?

Her magic power changed to red, and something like lightning mixed into it.

Bikikikiki.

Something like red armor started growing over Nia’s body—

“Die—immortal!!”

“Silver-blood formula, loading complete—AMT Weapon M802 anti-materiel rifle [Coin Orgel]”

GOUUN!!

I couldn’t intercept with [Bloody Arrow] anymore.

“Ah.”

The gunshot rang out, and in an instant a hole opened in Nia’s stomach.

“A, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Even so, Nia kept moving forward.

Dragging herself, wrapped in sinister magic power, pupils slit vertically wide open, white hair that reached the ground whipping wildly.

“Magic supply organ destroyed—This is the finisher, UTUSEMI.”

“Ni… a.”

I reached out toward Nia as she charged at Oldelan, but it was pointless.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I’ll kill you, kill you kill you kill you, I’ll kill you, kill—ah!!”

Clink.
