I Was the Supporter of a Popular Dungeon Streamer, but the Power Harassment Was Too Much, so I Quit. I’m Useless Anyway, so It Shouldn’t Be a Problem, Right? Huh? The Views Are Dropping Like Crazy? - 69

Chapter 69: Unparalleled

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“D-Damn it…!”

Yako was gradually being cornered by the swordsmen.

“Haha! Compared to your big sister, you’re completely useless!”

“By the way, where’s Asahina-nee? She’s more my type. Bring her here instead!”

“You bastards!!”

I struck one of the swordsmen on the neck with my prosthetic arm, knocking him out.

“Gah!?”

“You guys have no class at all. So crude.”

All the eyes of the OOParts users were focused on me.

“Who the hell are you? You’re not on the blacklist.”

“Which means you’re nothing special!”

A sword user and a spear user charged in from both sides. The spear user thrust his spear, but I dodged by crouching, grabbed the shaft, and pulled him toward me.

“Whoa!?”

As he was drawn in, I struck his face with a lariat using my prosthetic arm.

“Guh!?”

His eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

“That’s two.”

“You bastard…!”

The approaching swordsman swung down at me, but I sidestepped to evade his attack. I then grabbed his head with my left hand.

“【Moonlight Thunderstrike】”

Electricity surged from my left hand, shocking his entire body and rendering him unconscious.

“That’s three.”

“Fire! Shoot him down!!”

The gun OOPArt users opened fire all at once. I was about to dodge, but Yako spread her cape, blocking all the laser bullets.

“Nice support.”

“Shut up! Focus!!”

“Okay, okay. Time to focus then!”

“Wait—!?”

I jumped out from behind Yako’s cape.

“Hah! Walking right into your doom, like a moth to—”

Eight laser bullets were fired at me, but I deflected all of them with my prosthetic arm.

“What the hell!?”

The three gunmen ran out of ammo and entered a reload phase. Kisaragi didn’t miss the opportunity and shot freezing bullets at their feet, encasing them in ice.

“【Dragon Chains】 and 【Moonlight Thunderstrike】!!”

I wrapped my right-hand chain in lightning.

“Hiii!?”

“This is a new move I recently perfected. ―『Stun Chain』!!”

I whipped the electrified chain at the three gunmen, hitting them multiple times. The combination of blunt force and electric shock rendered them unconscious in an instant.

“Hm. This is handy for suppressing the mob. Not useful against monsters, though.”

Nine left. Now that the gunmen were taken down, the outcome of the battle was already obvious enough. After all, the gunmen had been the ones keeping their team functioning. The melee fighters had no real coordination. This was the end.

I stepped forward and charged at the shield user. He activated his boosters to counter my attack, accelerating toward me. My prosthetic arm clashed against his oversized shield.

“Don’t underestimate me!!”

“That’s my line.”

I pushed against the shield, forcing it back onto its wielder.

“Bwah!!”

As he faltered, I lowered my stance and pulled back my right fist.

“Ready… and—!”

“—Guhh!?”

I delivered a powerful punch, sending both him and his shield flying about twenty meters.

He landed beneath his own shield, completely incapacitated.

From behind.

I sensed two presences at my back—both swordsmen. With 【Scout Bee】 set up in the air, I had a complete aerial view of the battlefield. Surprise attacks wouldn’t work on me. Kisaragi had already taken aim, so I pretended not to notice the enemies behind me and…

Bang! Bang!!

Kisaragi fired her rune bullets.

“Gah!?”

“What the!?”

The two swordsmen who had been aiming for my back were struck by lightning bullets from behind. Their bodies convulsed as they collapsed to the ground. I grabbed their heads—one in each hand—and slammed them together.

“Ghh!?”

“Ka—!?”

Both of them lost consciousness. Six left. Two swordsmen, one spearman, and three shield users.

“Take this!!”

Yako took down one of the swordsmen. Well, in a one-on-one fight, she wouldn’t lose to these guys.

“Let’s go! Form up!!”

The three shield users lined up side by side, enlarged their shields, and charged from twenty meters away. Once they got within five meters, they activated their boosters and tried to ram me together. Even if I managed to push one back, the remaining two would cover for him.

“Yeah, that’s it. Finally working as a team, huh? But you’re too late.”

I placed my left hand on the ground.

“【Thunder Mine Sigil】 + 【Soaring Swallow Explosion】”

【Thunder Mine Sigil】 was a magic that set up a landmine spell formation at the designated point. 【Soaring Swallow Explosion】 launched a bird made of flames. Mixing these two spells resulted in an interesting reaction.

“『Soaring Thunder Mine』”

A magic formation twice the normal size of 【Thunder Mine Sigil】 appeared from my hand onto the ground (50 cm in radius—it wouldn’t explode if I stepped on it).

The formation slid across the ground and positioned itself at the shield users’ feet.

“Boom!!”

An explosion erupted, blasting the shield users away. The blast was strong, but these guys were OOParts users. This wouldn’t be enough to seriously injure them. I had adjusted the power accordingly too.

“Magic fusion… I’ve been practicing it for a long time, but I finally got it right.”

Watching Cyan’s magic up close had helped a lot. Her magic incorporated techniques I had never seen before. I broke those techniques down, reworked them, and used them to refine my own magic fusion. Until now, my success rate with magic fusion had been around 10%—not even close to being practical. But now, I could pull it off with 100% certainty.

Though, since it took longer to charge than normal spells, I had to pick the right moment to use it.

“What… What the hell are you…?”

“Screw this… I’ve never heard of someone like you…!!”

The remaining swordsman and spearman trembled in fear.

“That just means you guys are at the level where you can get taken down by a no-name. If you understand that, maybe stop acting so cocky.”

“You’re the one who needs to stop acting all cocky…!”

“Like hell we’re gonna take that!! You damn brat!!!”

No tricks were necessary. I took them down with pure hand-to-hand combat.

“Suppression complete.”

Yako approached me from behind. Her steps were heavy, and her expression was gloomy.

“Magic fusion…? And what’s with that ridiculous physical ability?”

She was a Supporter. No wonder she was shocked by magic fusion. Of course. Magic fusion was something I had come up on my own.

“Wait, what? Aren’t you supposed to be a Supporter…?”

“I am a Supporter. That’s why I’ve been using magic, haven’t I?”

I shrugged as I spoke. Yako still looked unconvinced.

“A-Are you guys really C-rank?”

“We’re C-rank. For now.”
