FVN Chapter 46
Chapter 46
**Episode 046: Illuminating Despair**
I was buried under debris, but I stood up. Thanks to the heavily reinforced equipment, all five senses were intact.
Yet, there was still a taste of blood in my mouth.
“Ugh. Healing.”
I spat out the blood collected in my mouth and cast healing magic on myself. The damage inside my body vanished rapidly.
“Attack Up, Defense Up, Speed Up, Magic Up.”
As the effects of the buffs wore off, I recast them and, using my ultimate technique of Ki Martial Arts, gathered KI externally to attack the giant.
“Cross Slash!”
I unleashed the technique with all my might.
*Bwoosh*
However, the giant, now serious, evaded my attack with movements that belied the heaviness of its colossal body.
“Tch.”
I couldn’t even click my tongue. The opponent effortlessly dodged a technique I had unleashed with my body pushed to its limits.
The one from earlier might not have been accustomed to this environment upon its sudden appearance, or perhaps it was just cautious. That’s how it seemed.@@@@
Moreover, it hadn’t been necessary to go all out against those slightly annoying foes. The fact that the Thunder had officially designated me as an enemy meant serious trouble.
I used the pole meant for raising the school flag, located in front of the giant, as a foothold to distance myself and look back.
“Damn it!”
However, by that time, the giant was already approaching me, preparing to strike with its fist.
This creature is completely different from what it was just a moment ago!
I cursed in my mind, but the situation remained unchanged.
I desperately dodged its attack.
*Tsk*
“Gu!”
I couldn’t completely avoid it, and its fist grazed me, causing damage with just that.
This is ridiculously frustrating!
However, such a struggle doesn’t last long.
“Gaaaahhhh!”
The giant, no longer interested in me, who showed no new reactions, launches a serious attack, and I take it head-on.
*Crack, crack, crack*
The sound of bones breaking throughout my body reaches my head. Bouncing like a rubber ball, I roll about a hundred meters on the ground, falling on my back, unable to move anymore.
The giant looks down on me from above.
“Haa... Haa... Is it over here? Well, I did my best...”
Realizing that this is the end, I close my eyes.
“If I think I protected the heroines of Assassin Girls, then this life is cheap...”
I close my eyes, waiting for the giant’s attack.
*DOOOOOOOON*
However, that moment never comes. Instead, an explosion sound overwhelmingly surpassing my Fireball echoes.
When I open my eyes, the giant is staggering back from the explosion.
“Niiiiii!!”
Then, a cute voice, completely mismatched with the atmosphere, is heard.
“Why... here...”
It’s someone who is likely fighting a new breed of Shadows in a different location. That someone is descending from the sky towards my face.
“Don’t give up completely, Rokudo.”
“Yeah, don’t forget that we’re here.”
Familiar voices are heard from above my head.
“Hahaha... Why did you guys come... I’m going to die, you know?”
“Fool. How can we live carefree after leaving our best friend behind?”
“That’s right.”
In my dire situation, my two best friends and the newly acquired family member, Enjyu, came rushing to my aid.
I felt overwhelmed with joy, and tears welled up.
