Chapter 1418 The Setting Sun Part 3 Part 2

「Tsk.]

I take a shot with my Aerial PD, but the poisonous maidens with only their upper bodies ─── I don’t know what kind of propulsion they have that they can move like that ──jump into the line of fire from the bullets as if they were trying to hide Bossdunine from harm. At the same time as the bullet makes a hit, the poisonous maiden’s already warped face becomes even more painful and distorted than before.

「Seriously, there are limits to how much bad taste you can cram into a single monster, the developers!]

At that moment the poison maiden rushes straight at me with an angry expression! No thank you! I don’t want to suffer a death hug like that, so evasive maneuvers!

So in short, this thing is basically an attack-responsive homing!?? But if so, then if it sends that poison bomb after you, that poison explosion can kill you from a much more greater distance than short-range alone! So this makes it pretty much a long-range killer move……!!!

「Watch out! Tsuchinoko-san!!!]

「No, that’s actually convenient! It works in my favor……!]

I continue to shoot the Aerial PD, and then I deploy the FF Finger Flick-45 in the other hand and shoot with it as well!

「Come on, Poison Girl! I can manage multiple flags at once! Give me a few seconds and I’ll make it into a Harem Ending before you even know it!]

The poison balls basically transform in response to this action. That is, if you attract all the poison balls that appear towards yourself, you are going to create the situation where the one who shot them will be wide open and the other people will be able to attack on their own!

Shuu—san’s slender arms now suddenly became huge Gorilla-like ones due to the appearance of the mysterious animal spirit floating behind his back, likely the result of his previously activated skill “Wild Aura: Kong”. He then took a swing at Bossdunine in order to deliver a mightly blow right into her face ––––––

However,

「You thought that would be enough to kill me?]

「Huh!?]

「Wha…!?]

Why was the attack cancelled just now!?

Shuu-san stopped moving just before his fist would hit the target, and was blown away like a character in a comic manga when the boss simply slapped him out of her way…… That’s right, this looks like the boss’s fault, otherwise we could have already gone onto the offensive here.

「Tsk…… August! Just how long do you intend to just sit there on your ass and do nothing!?]

「Huh? Ahh, umm……]

「What’s the matter? Unable to move? Fufufu, if so, then why did you even come here in the first place? You being here like that makes no difference whatsoever. So what’s the point?]

「Kyaah!?]

I want someone to praise me for reasonably closing my mouth, which I was ready to open just now and almost muttered that at this rate she was going to be useless to us and she would be better off being somewhere else. A Full Dive is, in a nutshell, a world of thought, where you mental state can either set you on the path towards victory or send you plummeting towards defeat.

I also have completely forgot about Shuu-san, who was blown away by that bitch slap earlier. August was then sent flying and she crashed into a tree, being launched in the air with just a barely powerful scratch. So this meant that I was on my own to deal with that poison maiden.

My gun is also lacking in deciding power at the current moment, so I hold a sword and get ready to start the “Swirling White Wave” as I stare at multiple poison maidens that were now appearing before me…… Total number of five. There is some deviation to them, but they all seem to be of the straightforward homing type that approaches in a straight line.

「So I guess that the imitation of an Irregular Wolf Sword Style “Wolf of Mibu” it is!]

Stopping five opponents is going to be a piece of cake here! My personal record in Bakumatsu Online was twenty five, you see! And it’s way easier to accomplish than waking up in the morning just in time so you wouldn’t be late for breakfast!

「This is the result of countless turbulent battles and weeping in defeat…… Custom Divine Punishment!]

This is a variation on a type of Passive Skill from Bakumatsu Online called “Ranbutsu”, which essentially optimizes the movement of continuous attacks. And I wouldn’t exactly be myself, if I did not try to improve on it in some way or another!! Right now it is meant to be used as an “Offensive escape tool meant for cutting down and slashing through a whole horde of enemies coming at you in a straight line!

So I make a first slash upwards, and then I immediately switch my sword onto the other hand.

I then make a move as if I was trying to pull out my arm, making the second slash with the sword being held in my opposite hand.

This sends my body into a rotation movement without stopping even for a moment, allowing me to make the third slash horizontally, using the speed and inertia of the rotation to strengthen it.

Then, at that exact moment, I forcibly stop the rotation, and grab the sword with my left hand as well, holding it with both of my hands and thus making it more stable……

「〆 is a Dango Divine Punishment!!!]

Yes! Push it in! Penetrate the fourth body and bury the blade in the fifth body with all of that build-up momentum!

In other words, this is still the basics of Divine Punishment, where multiple people are skewered like dumplings! This is the original Dango Divine Punishment, and it is something that prioritizes efficiency over unnecessary theatrics!

I slashed vertically, I then slashed diagonally, I then slashed horizontally, I then skewered them about two times…… And it would seem that the five poison clones were unable to keep up with all of that damage, because they began to gradually loose their shape and eventually fell onto the ground, back to their basic forms of pools of poison.

「Hmm, I see. So they happen to be different from those Bomb Types? Or maybe it’s just that they possess individual HP gauges?]

It’s not something that hard that I would need to use the “Swirling White Wave” without damage correction, but this homing is still as annoying as ever.

「Now then, what are you going to do? Just so to let you know, I’m different from the “me” that you have fought last time…… So to speak, I’m a Version 5.08, 0.02 updated at this very moment. You can call me the guy who is always up to date……]

「I don’t know what it means, but it sounds really unpleasant…… Besides……]

─── You are not the only one who will become stronger and stronger from now on.

At the same time as I muttered those words as I wrinkled my brows under the mask, something huge fell down from the sky. A huge mass of something. When I looked up, there was the fourth dragon-snake…… For some reason, it was staring at me with a passionate, murderous, hot look…… Not that I would know why that was.

However, the problem is that this fourth body literally dropped down on us from the sky.

「Gah…… Hah, hyii……]

「H.E.L.L.O. T.H.E.R.E.]

「HYIIH!!!]

And this one seems to be larger than the others…… And it’s actually a corpse of a snake with its head missing. Perhaps it was a type of snake with a large number of heads, such as a Hydra and Yagi Daija, but ultimately its just a base for a multi-headed snake…… Which is not good.

And the thing that crawls to the ground near the snake’s corpse is probably the reason why this thing was knocked down from the sky in the first place……

「Ahh, I’m happy…… I’m so, so happy. With this, another one is going to disappear! And then another one! I am going to become me again! Me, become myself!]

Goldunine the Inexhaustible. If the number of “Goldunines” continues to increase with no end in sight, soon enough the New Continent would be filled to the brim with little albino girls.

Some percentage of them might have become the cornerstone of the natural environment, but why are there so many Goldunines that possess some sort of filthiness or a defect to them?

「Goodbye, the Unpleasant Me.]

「No, wait ––––––]

The black venom that the Bossnine puts on the pitiful “Goldunines’” head starts to overflow. The expression of fear, the expression of begging for one’s life, or even the mourning wail disappears when faced with the deadly poison of this demon incarnate……

The terrifying snake laughs at the two Goldunines right in front of her, who have forgotten to hide anymore and were just there, twitching in fear. As the sound that should not come out of a healthy body is heard from their bodies being eaten away by the black poison……

「Now then…… Which one of you should I eliminate next?]
