Overlimit Skill Holder Vol 6 Chapter 28.2

Vol 6: Chapter 28 (2)

★ Dante ★

「Mimino, duck!!」

One of the dwarf’s slashes that Dante could not block with his shield, loomed towards Mimino in the rear.

「Uaaah!」

Mimino’s hair was cut slightly as she ducked under the slash.

「Mimino-san! You don’t have to deal with the aftermath of the magic! Please backup Dante-san!」

Anastasia, who was offsetting both Yuri and the gnome elder’s magic with【Fire Magic】, was starting to sweat heavily.

Among the elves who have high magic aptitude, high elves are often orders of magnitude higher.

Furthermore, Yuri is the strongest magic-user among all their siblings.

No matter how extraordinary Anastasia’s mana is from Reiji’s point of view, she would still have difficulty dealing with Yuri, but when combined with the gnome elder’s magic, it became even more intense for her.

「…Anastasia! Give a shout if it gets too tough!」

「Understood!」

The current situation already felt “too tough” for her, but Anastasia did not complain.

Because Dante, who was in front of her, was in an even tougher situation.

「UOOOHHHH!!」

He pushed back Grenjido’s spear with his shield, and deflected Minminshen’s fist with his mace.

There were no sparks, but a hard dull sound echoed.

「ZEEEEEEE!!」

「Dante, potion!」

「I don’t have time to drink!!」

The dwarf rushed in from a blind spot.

When he turned around and caught the dwarf’s attack from the front with his shield, Grenjido and Minminshen rushed towards him.

Mimino threw two small bottles at Grenjido and Minminshen.

The two ignored the bottles and lunged in, but when the bottles touched their body, it exploded and stopped their momentum.

「Nice!」

Meanwhile, Dante swung his mace to the side of the dwarf’s face with full force.

The dwarf’s golden eyes popped and the upper half of his face was smashed in.

The dwarf was sent flying. But after a while he got up, and his pale face and golden eyes were restored.

「Shit. There is no end to them.」

As a matter of fact, the group had already destroyed the enemies several times.

First, Anastasia’s magic successfully burned down the gnome elder.

However, although it took some time, the gnome elder was restored to his original state.

「Dante, don’t move!」

Mimino tossed a potion bottle towards Dante. It hit the back of his head and broke.

When the potion flowed out, half of it was wasted, but the rest covered Dante’ body and seeped into him.

「Ah… thanks, Mimino. I don’t have time to drink, so please do this later too.」

「It costs two gold coins to make this one.」

「It’s useless if you’re not alive, though.」

「Well, yes.」

The two nodded.

「Oi, come on!」

Dante provokes the enemy by banging his shield with his mace.

Originally, these enemies would try to attack the support, Mimino, but the enemies were too focused on Dante’s simple provocation.

It seems that they are moving instinctively.

That is why both Dante and Anastasia have managed to survive the enemies’ attacks so far.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to deal with multiple enemies with first-rate fighting ability.

(What should we do… No matter how many times we defeat them, the enemies keep restoring. Is their mana supply inexhaustible?)

The enemy did not seem to be exhausted at all.

On the contrary, both Anastasia’s mana and Mimino’s potion will eventually run out.

They can only continue the current battle for about another 30 minutes or so.

It was now a battle of attrition.

(Reiji-kun, do we have a chance of winning?)

Mimino looked at Reiji who was fighting in the distance.

Her eyes widened instantly.

★

I thought the Vision Ogre created his mediators because he himself was not good at fighting.

But I seem to have been mistaken. Greatly mistaken.

「Now that we’re at this point, don’t expect me to hold back. I’m releasing it for the first time in hundreds of years, so I don’t think I can hold back in the first place. Come, Child of Disaster.」

A giant red ogre stood before me.

There were no signs of an old man anymore.

His kimono tore off as he grew over 3 meters tall.

His exposed skin was bronze and his fur was ash-silver.

One horn grew on his forehead and two horns grew from his temples.

His eyes were a deep amber, and his fangs peeked out of his mouth.

「………… !!」

I was waiting for the Vision Ogre to say something.

The next moment, the Vision Ogre rushed towards me—it seemed as if he had teleported to me.

「——Guh!?」

He shoulder tackled me, sending my body flying like a ragdoll.

I managed to defend with my arms at the last possible second, but I felt my bones crack.

Before crashing onto the ground, I killed the momentum with【Wind Magic】and spun around in the air.

「Too slow!」

「!?」

The Vision Ogre was falling towards me from above.

By locking his fingers together, he tried to literally crush me with his bare hands.

I used【Fire Magic】to cause a small explosion, and evaded the attack.

「That’s an interesting way to use magic.」

「…I don’t want to fight you.」

I kept a distance after landing, and healed my body.

「What are you saying at this point? You opposed the goddess. It is only natural to eliminate you.」

「So is it okay to use a reincarnated person like me when it is convenient for you and then kill me once your business is done!? That’s just selfish.」

「Listen well. The goddess is a being who governs this world. It is natural for us to obey. I have lived for too long, but it is all in service of building the world that the goddess wishes for.」

「No… you are wrong. Living beings should be more free!」

「So you’re okay with the destruction of the world as a result of that?」

「In the same vein, shouldn’t we have the freedom to act so that the world doesn’t perish? If we have to be at the mercy of the goddess to live, I would rather not have such a world at all.」

「So, you are hoping for the collapse of the world… a “Child of Disaster”, after all.」

「Wrong!」

I raised my voice.

「Everyone is trying their hardest to live! Those who suffer from poverty, those who suffer from heavy responsibilities, those who suffer from not being able to live as envisioned, those who suffer from illness! Everyone is trying their best to live. All their suffering and effort will be reduced to the “will of the goddess” …It isn’t right!」

The Vision Ogre chuckled in response.

(Ah… he knows. He knows all our thoughts and wishes.)

『———Vision Ogre, that is enough talking.』

「Oops… Forgive me, goddess. Right then, child of disaster, let’s finish this.」

「…………」

「Are you ready?」

I readied my dagger.

「…I have no other path left but to defeat my opponent.」

「That determination is good.」

The giant Vision Ogre approached me instantly.

With the combination of skill and magic, and a load of mana, I swung my dagger. It clashed with the Vision Ogre’s fist.

Lightning-like flashes ran across the place.

「OOOOOOOOOH!!」

「ZEAAAAAHHHHHH!!」

My dagger deflected each of the Vision Ogre’s attacks which poured down like rain.

The collision of compressed mana caused violent shockwaves.

My skin tore up here and there, but I immediately healed it.

An explosive direct confrontation.

Without a mithril weapon, I would have been defeated immediately.

The Vision Ogre was that strong.

After all, Vision Ogre is a being who is on par with dragons

「Is this all you’ve got, Child of Disaster!!」

「OOOOOOOOH!!」

「!?」

At that moment, Vision Ogre stopped his attack and bent his body.

A black blade extended slightly from my dagger, which cut through the Vision Ogre’s chest.

Blood overflowed from his chest as he quickly kept a distance from me.

(…He dodged it at first sight?)

I secretly practiced【Shadow King】.

Lark’s power.

I was thinking of using it as a secret weapon when fighting the goddess, but I had to use it against Vision Ogre.

「…Oh, scary, scary. I didn’t think you had such an attack.」

「You seem quite relaxed. But it’s a serious injury, you know. Do you not have a way to cure it?」

There were countless surface injuries on the Vision Ogre’s body.

None of his injuries were healed. I was guessing that he couldn’t use【Healing Magic】.

He was fundamentally different from the pale existence that the others were fighting against. The real Vision Ogre himself was summoned to this place.

「Yes, I don’t have a way to cure this.」he said.

「Then, why don’t we stop here–」

「–”I” don’t have a way to heal it.」

「!?」

At that moment, Vision Ogre’s body glowed golden, and the wound on his chest was healed completely.

『———This is not even an injury.』

It was the goddess’ power.

(This is just cheating…)

However, the goddess herself does not attack me directly.

Last time, the goddess shot a ray of light at me which destroyed El-san.

That is my chance.

「…Well then, let’s continue.」

The Vision Ogre said, while cracking his neck.

「!」

And then — I noticed.

The “white” in this white space was slightly shaded.

This was it.

I was waiting for this.

「Will you not ask me again?」

I asked the Vision Ogre.

「Ask what?」

「If I’m ready.」

At that moment, the Vision Ogre’s eyes widened as if he had been caught off-guard.

「I am… ready.」I said.

Vision Ogre’s mouth distorted into a grin, and he instantaneously turned around.

And his fist was extended toward the existence that stood there.

The goddess.
