A Fenrir named Fer stood blocking our path.
『The enemy is a Divine Beast. It possesses Divine Power, so it won’t be affected by Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) interference.』
There have been a lot of enemies like that lately, haven’t there?
I can’t directly investigate what the enemy’s abilities are.
That’s why the enemy always gets the first move.
Well, Sinri (Competent Mode) is here too, so it should be fine, right?
The enemy, in an instant… vanished.
『Master, behind you! Duck!』
I crouched down on the spot.
A giant claw passed over my head.
『Tch…!』
“Magic Slayer Spell «Byou de Kieryuu»!”
I used a piercing, instant-death magic from close range.
A beam from point-blank range pierced Fer’s body.
『Did we get him!?』
『Not yet! We haven’t defeated the enemy!』
Figured as much. It felt like there was hardly any impact.
Shuuuu… Hoarfrost began to drift around the area.
Fer appeared before my eyes.
But it wasn’t just one.
“Fenrirs to the left and right too…?”
『It seems they are illusions.』
Illusions… I see.
So it’s using the ice drifting in the air to reflect light and create illusions, huh?
『What a troublesome appraisal ability!』
Goooo! Cold air concentrated in the Fenrir’s mouth.
An ice spear, the size of a plastic bottle, formed.
It’s not that big, and it doesn’t feel dangerous…?
『Master! You mustn’t take that hit!』
Hearing Sinri’s warning, I was about to block it with a Barrier, but I switched to evasion.
Goooo! The ice spear was launched at tremendous speed.
“Ha…!”
Before I could even think “fast,” the ice spear pierced the ground.
Gakiiiin! In an instant, the surrounding earth froze solid.
…What incredible speed. And if it hits, you freeze. An instant-death spear, huh?
“That’s a nasty attack you’ve got there. Hellfire Nova Strike!”
I unleashed Supreme Magic, regardless of us being in the mountains.
Sinri is controlling the Magic Power, so there’s no damage to the surroundings.
More importantly, neutralizing this Fenrir comes first.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
I slammed fire into the ice enemy. It should be super effective… or so I thought.
『With flames of that level, it’s impossible to kill a divine wolf who has lived for eons!』
『It seems he froze the flames with his cold air.』
What the heck? Is that even possible?
Fer kicked off the ground with a thump…! and closed in on me.
『Die…!』
He bit me directly, injecting cold air.
My body is stiffening…
In an instant, my body’s freedom was stolen.
『Hmph, not bad, woman. To make me get serious.』
Fer said that to my frozen self.
“Oh, so this is you being serious?”
『What did you say!?』
“God Protection, deactivate.”
Instantly, an enormous amount of Divine Energy leaked from my body.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
Vast… and yet high-output Magic Power, enough to blow away the trees in the forest.
Fer instinctively jumped back, creating distance.
『Wh-what is this Divine Energy!? This is… just like my master’s… no, even greater!』
I don’t really like using Divine Power in the lower world, especially in modern Japan.
It affects the environment, after all.
『Master. This is the Divine Territory of Nagano God. Divine Power will be attenuated here.』
“Oh, does that mean… I can use my Divine Power to my heart’s content without affecting the environment much?”
Well then, I guess it’s fine!
