After Accidentally Helping a Famous Streamer Who Forgot to Turn Off Her Dungeon Stream, I Began to Go Viral as a Legendary Explorer ～ The Introverted Me Accidentally Dominating with My Mysterious Skill 'Ignore Rules' - Chapter 46: Worthless

Chapter 46: Worthless

“Damn it…! Impossible…!”

The men in black sprawled on the ground were twitching all over and didn’t try to get up.

…No, it seemed they could barely move at all now.

They struggled desperately to stand, but their knees shook, and they ended up lying back down on the ground.

“What’s going on? How did you get beaten up so badly?”

“Y-You bastard!? Are you insulting us?”

“No, no, it’s not an insult, just a pure question…”

“You… Remember this…”

With those final words, the men in black seemed to have completely lost consciousness. They collapsed face down on the ground, motionless.

“Tsukushi-kun, you’re just too strong…”

Even Miyu wore a look of astonishment.

“What in the world⁉ Impossible⁉”

Yayoi raised her voice in bewilderment, pointing at me.

“You’re only supposed to be able to use fire magic, right⁉ How can you use other magics⁉”

“Well, I don’t really understand it myself, but I’ve become able to use them.”

“That’s strange… The Ministry should have no such rules…”

Yayoi continued to mutter to herself and then, after a few seconds, she tightened her expression.

Raising her grand magic staff high into the air, she astonishingly began to float above the ground.

I had never seen that magic staff before.

It was probably an item exclusive to the Dungeon Management Ministry. A flying ability? That was definitely something I’d never heard of before.

“Very well. Then I myself will punish you two. Get ready to die!”

“You’re the one who should be prepared. It’s time to atone for the sins you’ve accumulated! I will avenge my father with my own hands‼”

★

“Ha!”

With a swing of her magical staff, Yayoi summoned three C-class monsters, White Wolves.

And it seems she has the ability to command them too, as all of them simultaneously lunged at me.

— Activate Skill “Ignore Rules”.

Ignore opponent’s attack power

“Waoooooh!”

The White Wolves charged at me, but of course, they couldn’t inflict any damage. Seizing the opportunity, I unleashed a wind magic spell and blew all three away at once.

“Yaaahhhhh‼”

To cover for me while I was surrounded by the White Wolves, Miyu leaped towards Yayoi. She seemed a bit concerned about the smartphone in her pocket during the action, but perhaps I’m just overthinking it.

“Tch! Annoying…!”

While blocking the sword with her magic staff, Yayoi let out a voice filled with irritation.

As they pushed against each other, Miyu shouted with anger in her voice.

“Answer me! What was Tsukushi-kun’s father on the verge of uncovering?”

“Ha. Stupid girl! As if I would tell you such things!”

While clashing sword against magic staff, Yayoi revealed a hideous smile.

“Fufufu, but I still remember the look of agony on Yuichi’s face when he died. He trusted us to the very end. He had no idea he was being betrayed by his comrades… Truly, he was a fool.”

“…You really are the scum of humanity.”

“Oh my, compliments won’t get you anything♪ This is what happens when you make an enemy of someone from the Dungeon Management Ministry. You should remember that too.”

“…Is that so.”

Miyu glanced at the smartphone in her pocket again with a knowing look and nodded, then suddenly took a large step back.

She lined up beside me and gripped my hand tightly for a few seconds.

“Miyu, can we go ahead with that plan?”

“Okay. Leave it to me.”

As we nodded to each other, Yayoi raised her magic staff in both hands and began to float even higher.

“Ahahaha, I don’t know what you’re scheming. But this is where it ends for you both. ― Now, die‼”

Saying that, Yayoi summoned several new, verdant dragons known as Woodness.

The bulletin board classified them as A-class monsters, suggesting they were formidable foes…

— Now‼

I activated the “Ignore Rules” skill again.

This time, the broken ability I used was “Ignore Time for Three Seconds”.

Immediately, the effect took hold, and time stopped for everyone but me.

During this moment, I also activated “Ignore fire magic usage restriction”.

— One second.

I thrust out my right hand, unleashing an advanced fire attribute magic, Prominence Bolt.

It was like a visible ray made of flame, its power incomparable to that of a mere Fireball. No matter how strong the verdant dragons were, they could not ignore the damage that would ensue.

— Two seconds.

The visible radiation, swift and relentless, engulfed the still-immobilized verdant dragons.

I followed up with another blast of the same spell, ensuring the dragons would be decisively finished.

— Three seconds!

“Miyu! Now!”

“…! Okay!”

Though Miyu’s movements had been halted by the ability, my shout seemed to alert her that it was time to act.

Instantly, she sprinted forward, closing the distance to Yayoi, who was still holding her magic staff aloft.

Fortunately, as planned, the verdant dragons had fallen to the Prominence Bolt, leaving no one to block her path.

“What…⁉ Could he have stopped time…⁉”

Yayoi seemed to grasp the situation quickly, but her body couldn’t keep up.

“Stop… gyaaaah!”

Taking advantage of the opening just after summoning the monsters, Miyu delivered a fierce, slicing blow.
