Chapter 1251 Hello, hello? Headquarters? I Need Me Some Good Weapon Here, ASAP!! Part 2

「Request: I would like for you to buy me fifteen seconds, Master! In that time I am going to activate the maximum firepower possible that I have on me!」

「You got it!」

When it comes to the Crystal Scorpions and Golden Crystal Scorpions, their home turf are those cliffs, and they are at their very best when the moon is shining bright down on them. However, they are not the only ones who thrive from the moonlight! The same can be said for me at the current moment.

As for the Golden Age, basically the same principles apply here: it is not the only thing that can thrive from the glowing moonlight. And don’t feel bad about it, it’s only because I was able to have such an intimate relationship with all other scorpions in here! Or maybe it is all thanks to Nightprowler Luukan? Yeah, I think that this would be it.

「Why hello there, You Majesty the King! How about a sword fight? You wanted it so badly, then now you are going to get it!」

Just like the “Golden Age”, I got ready to change my weapons on the spot, all the time doing my very best to avoid its attacks that were being relentlessly thrown my way. I got my new sword ready, and its blade started to form from the bright whirlpool of light, forming the blade of the Jeweled Sword of the Boundary Light. Once formed, the blade started to shine deep crimson while absorbing all of the moonlight that was available in this place.

That being said, I have not yet managed to completely grasp the behavioral patterns behind the “golden Age’s movements”, and truth to be told, I think that I am not even close to doing so. At least not in the near future that would turn out to be critical for the outcome of this fight. However, there is one thing that I know for sure here, it’s something that I managed to observe in this short amount of time. The attacks of the “Holy Sword” on its stinger are nothing more but extras, or you could even call them distractions. For you see, they are always so frantic and all over the place, that you can’t help it but to think that they are but smoke and mirrors. So following that logic, you can assume that the attacks of the “Scissor-Claws” are the main bread and butter of this beast. And making proper use of those “Scissor-claws” actually takes a whole lot of effort. But on the plus side for the “Golden Age”, the responsiveness of those scissor-claws is way better than any other attack it has in store.

Fully deployed scissors make a “sword”. Scissors that are about half-deployed make a “scythe”. And the fully retracted scissors make for a “fist”. Now, when it comes to the fist attacks, due to their nature and the way in which the attack itself is being formulated, it has a tremendous amounts of disadvantages. So if it was about me, I would like to refrain from using those attacks as much as possible. So it can be safely said that the danger priority is very low for this particular type of attack. In other words, what I should really be watching out for in here are the “sword” and “scythe” attacks.

Of course, the thing that I need to stay the most vigilant about is still that attack that can basically instant kill me if it only as much as grazes my body. But that being said, that’s not the only thing that I need to be concerned about with this guy. I need to be wary of those “transformation” attacks, the ones with which it can turn the sword into a scythe, the scythe into scissors and then scissors back to sword. All those attacks need to be performed at close range for them to be successful, and the most dangerous to me at the same time. And it would need a whole lot of dexterity and weapon durability from me to be able to properly deflect or block all that. Either that, or an extraordinary amount of Agility and mobility. Sadly, there are no other choices here. However……

「If that is indeed so, then if I were to “choose” between Dexterity and Agility…… Then this is hardly even a choice worth pondering over……!!」

So for the time being focused on making some distance in between us, and now I just intended to keep it that way: being so far away from “Golden Age” that neither its sickle attack would be able to reach me, nor its sword frenzy able to graze me. At the same time, I took out my Jeweled Sword and started to use its ability right away to make some quick attacks from the right distance. Now, maybe the damage from me doing that was not all that great to begin with, but at the very least it was managing to achieve one good thing: it was drawing the attention of the “Golden Age” without fail, making it focused entirely on me and paying mind to nothing else around its immediate surroundings.

What is really helpful in here is the fact that the ground around the “arena” is pretty much flat and without any form of natural obstacle. Because of that, I don’t think that this monster will be able to catch up to me anytime soon. You heard that, Your Majesty!? I might be squishy and weak to you, but you are going to find out that this young Fool is pretty swift and fast when it comes to running and dodging! Can you say the same, you slug……!?

「Fifteen seconds is almost up!! If we are going to do something in here to make a change, we’d best do it now!」

「Requesting Certification: requesting permission for a temporary access and use of the Class Eight Firearm “Explosive Injection Vector – Thruster Pile Attacker–” based on the current Contract’s engagement level with the Conquest Doll Unit Elma=317! Basis of request: furthering of the Reconquista Plan. Transferring credentials…… Transfer complete! Beginning the use of the designated firearm immediately!」

「Hey! What the hell is this!? This wonderfully wonderful weapon that you have there!?」

Right after making that announcement, Sigma materialized completely out of nowhere a giant weapon that looked just like a Pile Bunker, but it was so big that it would be impossible to hold it in her hands normally, even with her reinforced body. So the giant thing had to actually be supported by equally giant tripod. And then without a moment’s delay, Sigma rushed forward with that Pile Bunker in hand, thrusting the tip of its giant metal stake right into the “Golden Age’s” body…… Ahh, now I see. I see how it is. Yeah, that should certainly stop this thing from moving around! Or at the very least make it increasingly harder for it to move around so much!

Welp, I guess that it cannot really be helped now. I did not really wanted to do this, but at the current moment we have no other choice in that matter. I guess that we are going to settle this mano-a-mano, Infighting and all that……!!
