The Demon Beast Vergeltungswaffe’s unique skill, [Multi-Chamber Cannon], boasts the greatest firepower in “Engage Hazard,” capable of inflicting fatal damage to the entire party with a single attack.
However, due to its immense power, it consumes a vast amount of SP, requiring a significant amount of time to charge the SP needed to unleash [Multi-Chamber Cannon].
As countermeasures, one must either defeat the Demon Beast Vergeltungswaffe within the sufficient time it takes to charge the SP, or mitigate the damage by forming a party with water-attribute characters, which have an advantage against the fire-attribute magic of [Multi-Chamber Cannon], while stacking defense-enhancing buffs to endure the attack.
Evade? [Multi-Chamber Cannon] has an ultra-long range and a 270-degree attack radius. The only place to escape is directly behind the Demon Beast Vergeltungswaffe.
Only Sandra and Monica, with their super-high mobility, can do that.
And yet… Sandra and Monica both say they believe in me and Caz and want to be protected (……..), so I guess I have no choice.
With that, I have no choice but to protect them no matter what.
“Guh… guh guh…”
The tremendous heat and power, combined with my maxed-out stats, the abilities of the [Jet-Black Shield Caspary], and the Title [Kongo Fuhai] to maximize my defense, are pushing me back, inch by inch.
In “EnHaza,” all attacks are depicted as ending in a single turn, so it’s impossible to know how long the attack actually lasts.
But.
“Like hell I’ll lose!”
I shout from the bottom of my stomach to rally myself, and push back instead.
And then.
“Haa… haa…”
“…Impossible…”
I… we, managed to withstand the [Multi-Chamber Cannon].
“!? Gichichichichichichichi!?”
“How dare you insects trouble Lord Hal so!”
Not missing the moment the attack ended, Sandra pierced the Demon Beast Vergeltungswaffe’s head with Balmung.
“Prepare yourself.”
“!? Ga… guh…”
Monica had also somehow circled behind the Personal Maid and severed her head with a Dagger Knife.
“Phew… we did it.”
“Yay! We won!”
Caz, having returned to her kitten form, tapped her fist and forepaw together.
I noticed that Caz was also slightly injured.
Haa… I made my partner push herself too hard…
“Ahaha! That tickles!”
“No, Hal, you’re hurt.”
I suddenly felt my cheek being licked, and I laughed out loud. It seems I also sustained some minor scratches.
But, aren’t you worrying a bit too much? I’m fine, you don’t have to look so concerned.
“Then, I’ll return the favor.”
“Nyahahahahahahahaha! That tickles! That tickles!”
When I licked her wounds in the same way, Caz writhed and rolled around, clutching her stomach.
“Right. Is everyone else alright?”
“Y-yes… thanks to Hal, we’re safe…”
That’s the most important thing, but what’s with that subtle reaction?
Not just Lize, but Christia and Carla are also making incredibly dumbfounded faces.
“To think, after receiving an attack that would turn the surrounding area into scorched earth, you not only protected us but only sustained minor scratches…”
“Prince Harold has gone even further beyond…”
Ah… now that you mention it, I did withstand that [Multi-Chamber Cannon].
If I think about it calmly, aren’t I amazing? No, I am amazing.
After all, I, who withstood “EnHaza’s” greatest firepower, have obtained the strength I had envisioned (……..) since regaining my memories from my previous life.
The strength to protect myself… my Precious Thing.
“Lord Hal, you were magnificent.”
“Yeah… thanks. Sandra, you’re amazing too, taking down that tough-shelled Demon Beast Vergeltungswaffe with a single blow.”
“Fufu… I am your sword, after all.”
Sandra said with a smile.
“That’s right. You are my sword, and I am your shield. The strongest sword and the strongest shield, it’s the very definition of ‘contradiction’.”
“Fufu! Yes!”
Sandra jumped into my arms, nuzzling me happily.
Seeing her so adorable, I stroked her beautiful Platinum Blonde hair… wait.
“Prince Harold, might I also receive a head pat as a reward?”
“Ah! That’s not fair! I worked hard too!”
“Ufufu… please, me too.”
“Mumu… m-me too… no, no, that wouldn’t do…”
Monica and the others are all moving closer, offering their heads.
What is this, a harem protagonist situation?
Well, but.
“Ah…”
“Fufu!”
“Ufufu…”
“Soothed…”
If my Precious Thing, who worked so hard, asks for a reward, I’ll gladly pat their heads as much as they want.
