–Gakin!
“Bui?”
“Eh!? Prince Harold!?”
I barely made it in time, catching Henwen’s descending foreleg.
With this, the dull-shining, heavy, black iron Jet-Black Shield Caspary.
“Monica! Are you alright!”
“Y-yes! But, that Shield is…”
I turned around to check if Monica was injured, relieved to see she was safe.
But, you don’t have to be so surprised… well, I guess you would be. That miniature-sized Shield transformed into such a magnificent Shield, after all.
“T-that’s me…?”
Oops, Caspary herself is even more surprised than Monica.
But, with this, I understood a lot.
The hidden backstory of that limited-time event in EnHaza was that the protagonist defeats and subdues Caspary, transforming Caspary herself into a weapon.
Henwen being a raid boss also means that these two Demon Beasts were fighting over territory on Moan Island.
And, Caspary sides with the protagonist, and Henwen is unfortunately defeated.
Well, couldn’t they have prepared a little more of that, like an after-story event?
If they had, they could have attracted more players and wouldn’t have had to end service in six months. Their business strategy was just too poor.
Well, whatever.
For now, what we need to do is defeat the Henwen in front of us and let Caspary avenge her mother.
“Princess Alexandra! Monica! We’ll take all of Henwen’s attacks! In that opening, please finish it off!”
“Yes!”
“Leave it to us.”
“Buhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”
The enraged sow puts all her weight on her forelegs and tries to crush me.
But.
“Ahaha! Amazing! It’s amazing!”
Even though I’m Harold, with the weakest physical defense, I’m not even fazed by Henwen’s attacks.
In the first place, in EnHaza, all weapon cards other than Shields add physical attack power or magic attack power, or both, to the character’s stats, whereas Shield weapon cards only add physical defense to the stats.
Moreover, if the character and the Shield have the same attribute, the effect is doubled.
The Jet-Black Shield Caspary’s physical defense is as high as a maxed-out SSR heroine, so I can withstand Henwen’s attacks now.
“Haa!”
“Shi!”
“Buhya!? Pugiiiiiiii!?”
Alexandra and Monica launch attacks one after another with movements too fast to see, and Henwen’s giant body is dyed red with blood.
No matter how high her durability is, she won’t be able to withstand it if she keeps getting attacked like this.
“Pigyuoooooooooooooooooooo!”
“I won’t let you!”
I anticipated Henwen’s movement to turn towards Alexandra, stood in front of her, and took the attack.
I absolutely won’t let either of them get even a scratch.
“Pu… Pugi… “
About twenty minutes since the start of the battle.
Henwen’s movements were noticeably sluggish, and her grating cries were dying out.
Then.
“Ah!”
Henwen reversed her massive body and started to run away.
Since she’s slow to begin with and heavily injured, it’s easy to catch up.
“Caspary… now is the time to avenge your mother.”
“Y-yes!… But, how?”
“You have it, right? The power sleeping inside you, your own power.”
“My own… power…”
Caspary muttered that and fell silent.
“Pi… Pigyu…”
Henwen is still desperately trying to escape from us, shaking her giant body as she moves.
And then.
“… Snatch!”
Caspary called out the name of her power… the unique skill of the Jet-Black Shield Caspary.
“Eh!?”
From the black iron Shield, a giant jet-black claw, symbolizing Caspary, attacked Henwen, gouging out her slovenly body.
“Pu… Ge…”
Henwen looked up at the sky and stiffened for a moment, then convulsed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The unique skill Snatch of the Jet-Black Shield Caspary takes everything from the target.
Including their life, everything.
“Phew… it’s over.”
I placed the Jet-Black Shield Caspary on the ground and exhaled deeply.
Well, I was wondering what would happen at first, but it worked out somehow…
“Prince Harold, you were amazing.”
Alexandra, who had rushed over, praised me with a proud smile.
Right behind her, Monica, with a somewhat smug look, gave me a thumbs up.
“Ahaha… no way. I didn’t do much. The reason we were able to defeat Henwen was all thanks to Princess Alexandra and Monica, and… this guy’s power.”
Looking at Caspary, who had returned to her original kitten form from the black iron Shield, I smiled broadly.
That’s right. I was able to fight through to the end, including the final Snatch, thanks to this little Demon Beast.
Then.
“A… Th-thank you for lending me your power! Thanks to you, I… I… was able to avenge my mother…!”
Caspary bowed deeply and shed large tears as she looked up at the sky.
We looked at the small Demon Beast and smiled.
