Chapter 127: IT’S YUNAAA!!!

"What?"

"It’s Yuna’s masterpiece! Senior Ren!"

Yuna!

Were you part of the Imperial Army?

As the blizzard subsided, Yuna’s figure, aiming in our direction, came into view, a bit tiny.

Even her focused face is beautiful!!

Despite the revelation that the first sister I met during the battle exchange was a member of the Imperial Army, I couldn’t suppress my excitement at the sight of our lovely Yuna.

And then it hit me.

’Yuna is working hard in her position, too. Ren!’

I had been overthinking things. I must be prepared to unlock my full potential!

"Quickly regroup with the twin sisters and join the main force!"

"Shouldn’t we block her from over there first!? Senior!"

"No. We must protect the true queen as well."

Watching her pink rifle vanish, Isolde spoke with a hint of regret.

"Senior Ren. I’m sorry. My weapon..."

"It’s okay. I’ll protect you"

– lol

*D-class top output*

*D. Ren*

*Showcasing skills in a unique way*

"Three on three is just perfect. Elle! Block the sniping!"

"Alright!"

Elle spread a barrier, shielding us from the long-range sniping.

Sarika and I advanced together.

"I’ll strike first this time."

As Sarika swung her sword, a fierce gust of wind blew the twin sisters off the battlefield.

I thought it was over, but Sanvika descended slowly, riding an umbrella.

Her sister was preparing something.

"Watch out!"

Avid, who had been slowly gathering strength while grasping her sibling’s ankle, propelled her body with only her waist’s elasticity and soared into the air.

A javelin!

It was already too late when I realized she was throwing it at such high speed.

The twin sisters’ ultimate move.

"Senior!"

Sarika leaped in and blocked it with her body.

"You...!?"

I believed that being struck would, at the very least, result in a hole in one’s stomach. Yet, faced with that malicious blow, Sarika didn’t hesitate to throw herself towards it, rolling with great force across the ground.

Sweeping the floor with her body like a human snow shovel, Sarika narrowly avoided falling beneath the dish but appeared to have sustained a hit so intense that she couldn’t rise.

"Sarika!"

Sanvika, who had somehow landed on the dish and returned to the fray, pointed her umbrella in our direction. The attack wasn’t over yet!

"I’ll give it back just as it came!"

A gust of wind from the tip of the umbrella now engulfed us. Had it absorbed Sarika’s wind? We were in a dire situation. Elle unleashed her magical bullets, bombarding Sanvika and forcing her to raise her umbrella in defense.

As the gust of wind dissipated into the air, a perfect window of opportunity opened up.

’A chance created by Elle!’

Kannika likely thought it was a chance forged by her sister. I fired a rubber bullet at the advancing Kannika.

*Thud!*

’Moonlight Bullet Count: 2.’

However, this shot didn’t stop Avid.

I lowered the Benelli, drew my Glock, and immediately fired four consecutive shots.

However, Avid burrowed even closer to me, ensuring I couldn’t get a clear shot at her.

’Prepare for close-quarters combat!’

Now’s my chance! My opponent will surely think that being up close guarantees their victory!

[Reading the enemy’s movements with the 『Mask of Evil』]

[Understanding the flow of power]

"Nami!!"

Concealed Fleshlight activated.

Nami, now invisible, charged forward and kicked Avid, disrupting her balance.

"Ah!?"

In the turmoil, Avid managed to stay on her feet, but her posture had been significantly compromised.

"Soul Excretion... Punch!!!"

*_Whooosh!!_*

I delivered a ruthless punch straight into Avid’s abdomen.

"Ah, oooh, ugh!!"

Avid stumbled backward, gasping in pain and offering no resistance.

[You’ve acquired the achievement "Path of the Soul Excretion Master"!]

"Don’t overreact. You’re not done yet."

"Uh, sis! Why are you doing this?"

"Huff... Pant..."

Avid, her legs trembling, forced herself to stand back up. Sensing her sister’s crisis, Sanvika rushed in to assist.

"I’ve decided on this Fleshlight."

I exchange glances with Nami, clad in a black bikini.

A-class stat increase.

"Fleshlight Clone Martial Arts" is prepared and ready.

"Something doesn’t feel right. An invisible attack... Anyway, don’t let Ren Asahi’s fist hit you!"

"Understood, sister!"

Soon, the Empire’s forces will cross all the chain bridges.

Can we finish this in just under a minute?

It’s challenging, but there’s no other choice but to try.

"General Deherit, did you think you could pass through without any interference?"

What? Unexpected reinforcements?!

That’s Hilaria’s voice, the one who helped us by destroying the tower during the first execution event.

The cool girl wielding a great sword!

"Where are you?! You crazy rhino girl! Where are you hiding?!"

"Crazy rhino girl, you say? To your junior, no less. Ahahaha."

What on earth?

I look in the direction of the voice and see Hilaria dangling from a vertical cliff with one hand.

On the other hand, she holds a massive sword, leisurely swinging it back and forth as if on a playground swing.

"Disappointing. I thought about where you’d go, but you chose the easiest route? If you’re a general, you should face the challenge head-on!!"

"Damn it! I didn’t even ask to be a general. Stop being obsessed with me!"

"Shall we test if you’re truly general material? Our senior!! Hehe!"

*Whoosh!*

Hilaria soars like a rocket, landing in the middle of the chain bridge.

Deherit, determined to cross, blocks the bridge all by herself.

One shouldn’t say this about a heroine, but she truly embodies the spirit of a valiant warrior.

"Bring it on!"

"It’s just one person! Out of my way!!"

Deherit, uttering a line akin to a defeat flag, unleashed a torrent of fire magic.

Hilaria dashed faster than anyone else across the chain bridge, cutting down the imperial soldiers in her wake.

"I, Hilaria, shall protect the True Queen! So grant me the position of general later!"

Isolde must have heard her, for she responded while recording the scene with her smartphone.

"I’ll give you the rank of general once this is over!"

"Heh, I guess we must fight a battle worthy of our reputation, then?"

Hilaria grew more and more spirited. At that moment, a black-haired, bespectacled sorceress summoned an enormous skeletal figure and struck Hilaria with its bony arm, sending her flying.

’Gasp.’

"Don’t be foolish, Hilaria. Get out of the way."

" When did it become acceptable to strike a fellow squad member like this?!"

No, wait.

Hadn’t she been sent flying by the blow?

Hilaria’s physical prowess was truly beyond human.

As if to prove that her value of 5.1 million coins was no joke, she supported her own weight and her greatsword with just one hand, gripping a narrow gap barely wide enough for a finger and a half beneath the chain bridge.

"Have you forgotten what Master Regina Dean said? We are being disciplined.

Rest assured, I’ll bring the crown to the Empire and distribute it to the squad according to their needs."

"You mean to place more importance on the squad’s loyalty, right?"

"And you, would you not fight if I were part of the Imperial Army?"

Hilaria grinned as if her true intentions had been uncovered.

"Of course, I intend to fight. I’ll show you, who merely summons creatures from the rear like a timid girl, what a real battle entails."

"Hilaria. Apologies, but both of us are girls. Can’t you fight like a girl should? Cease this vulgar act of spreading your legs and mouth wide open."

Good. Hilaria is holding back the main forces of the Imperial Army!

However, there was another promising individual within the Imperial Army, and she seemed to be a summoner.

There would be limits to facing her alone. I must hurry and offer my assistance.

Nevertheless, it was true that I had been granted a brief moment to catch my breath amidst the chaos.

Conversely, even with their feet tied, the twin sisters, who were on the verge of victory, grew increasingly desperate.

"Ren Asahi. Let’s finish this now!"

"We won’t hold back either!"

*Whoosh...*

Breath of Soul Excretion, Type 1.

"Fleshlight Clone Martial Arts"

Don’t worry; you merely vowed to break my leg.

Start gently!

’An image of not sincerely expelling!’

"Watch out for the invisible attacks!"

Despite Avid’s warning, the transparent Nami knocked Sanvika down.

"Ahh!?"

I quickly punched Sanvika’s stomach.

"Soul Excretion!!"

*Thud!*

"Guh-ik!?"

"Smash!"

Sanvika slumped down, drained of her strength.

A beautiful blonde girl clenches her buttocks in an attempt to suppress her violent urge to expel, looking lost and helpless.

A perverse scene unfolds.

"What... What is this? There’s no strength in my body. Can’t move..."

"Vika!"

Dodging Avid’s spear, which she had thrown to save her sibling, I teamed up with Nami for a combined attack.

At that moment, Avid seemed to have intuited, to some extent, that the invisible attack’s true nature was another clone.

Sensitively detecting the change in the air flow, she defended against Nami’s and my coordinated assault simultaneously.

"It’s an impressive technique."

I’m not a promising talent for nothing! I managed to distract Avid by mixing up my Glock shots.

"Ha!"

Avid, believing she couldn’t be hit by the Glock bullets, continued to deflect them with her spear.

If it were a non-enhanced Colt Python, she would have probably just taken the hits and tried to deal with them. However, my Glock was also well-strengthened, so it couldn’t be completely ignored.
