Chapter 30: Death Dance
▽
Liora's body collapsed to the ground with a thud. Like shattered polygons, her body broke apart. Seeing this, my mind went blank.
During this event, characters can be revived even if they are lost.
But this was undoubtedly a defeat and death…
"Liora!"
The happy voice I usually hear in response didn't come.
Jack Jack, covered in blood, sighed wearily and lightly flicked his rapier, clearing it of Liora's blood.
He turned his back and started walking.
"Not being in the same team as Jiek, Ninela, or Euklis was fatal. Other strong ones are too different in type."
"Pilot wouldn't contract with a spirit… Nevertheless, fighting against strong opponents is very educational."
"I won't lose."
"Huh!?"
A voice was heard.
Immediately after, Jack Jack's old body rolled several meters across the ground. When he got up, so did the figure of a young girl.
Her eyes were spinning with fanatical devotion.
The young girl, holding her scythe low, began to walk, cloaked in a malevolent aura.
At the same time Liora stood up, a cute voice echoed around us.
"Hey!"
Bang, bang— the sound of someone hitting a desk. The rhythm was familiar, but the owner of the voice caught my attention more.
The girl, Archangel Myumyu, was glaring at the old man with obvious rage. She was pounding on a desk she had conjured up.
"We're in the middle of a raid! Quit messing around, boys!"
"What should we do, Myumyu-sama? I won't be able to defeat that old man."
"Return to the raid, contractee. Leave that old man to Liora! Zephyr, I've repaid the favor for allowing me filmi!"
It seemed that the recovery-specialized Archangel Myumyu had done something for us. Liora's current HP was 1, so it wasn't the Light Magic Art [Resurrection]. It was more likely a spell that allowed her to endure with 1 HP.
Anyway, it meant she could still fight.
Good grief.
Please subscribe to Archangel Myumyu's channel, give it a high rating, and join as a member.
I smoothly donate fifty thousand Urucha to Archangel Myumyu.
Liora looked apologetically, her shoulders slumping in dejection.
"God, I'm sorry… I lost…"
"No, Liora. We are still fighting, aren't we? In that case, we haven't lost yet."
"Can I still be of use to God?"
"I guarantee it in the name of the Evil God Zephyr. Liora, I'm proud of my decision to contract with you. You are my precious apostle."
"! I… am… precious?"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Liora started crying uncontrollably. However, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve and glared sharply at Jack Jack.
"I won't lose anymore…!"
"But we can't win by fighting normally, so let's change the strategy a bit, shall we?"
Liora, who had started running, suddenly stopped, causing her to trip and fall.

A fierce exchange of attacks ensued. In the middle of the battlefield, the young girl and the old man were engaged in a fierce duel.
Yes.
We were in the middle of the battlefield, right under the raid boss's feet, engaging in a full-blown PvP fight.
"Ho ho! The ideas of the young are truly surprising!"
'Gyaoooooo!'
"Everyone, be quiet."
Liora avoided Jack Jack's rapier by hiding behind the raid boss—Chimera Griffin's leg. Jack Jack's rapier pierced the boss's leg.
"[Dark Blaze]!"
The magic imbued with the unique skill [Killing Blade] attacked Jack Jack.
Naturally, he avoided it, but a [Dark Ball] that I had set up was floating in his path.
"How troublesome!"
Although the damage was negligible, it would cause him to flinch if it hit. In the spot he avoided, Samurai extended her tentacles.
"[Dark Wall]! Art [Penetrate]!"
The old man leaped using the dark wall as a stepping stone, infusing his rapier with the art as he descended. The rapier, imbued with piercing attributes, was surrounded by a vortex of wind.
A lightning-fast thrust.
Liora closed the distance with [Dedication: Swift Dance], evading as she did so. She jumped to take the high ground and activated the art [Moon Rabbit Slash].
"? Using an art here? Such an opening—"
"[Dedication: Halt Dance]!"
A dance art that forcibly interrupts an art. Liora delivered a sweeping strike from an unexpected sudden stop.
The rapier deflected the attack.
Jack Jack's rapier aimed for Liora's face, but I hit Liora, who was in mid-air, with a [Dark Ball], knocking her back.
"—Ho ho. Excellent teamwork."
"Kuh… God and I are the best. I am God's apostle! You die."
Liora smirked. Her scythe had a peculiar shape. The shape, like the number "7," made it difficult to use as a weapon. However, it was convenient for reaping something.
Now, the blade of Liora's scythe was behind Jack Jack's neck.
Utilizing the momentum from being blown away by me, Liora executed a surprise decapitation strike from right in front of Jack Jack.
For a moment, Jack Jack's reaction was delayed.
