Ch.173Frill (9)

“This is… my new level!!”

Sasith shouted loudly as he took his stance.

“Multiple Summon!!”

At Sasith’s cry, six Psychorobos responded.

The physical damage dealer, Uwang No. 799.

Admiral Drake.

And the magic-type dealer, Succubus Queen.

The status ailment specialist, Bonded Deep Dark Magician.

Pupupung, still useful enough to be summoned through the Psychorobo codex.

Finally… he had summoned a full party including Jelly King.

“You… you’ll die doing that.”

Slave stared at Sasith and said.

“I… won’t die.”

Due to the considerable mental energy consumption, it seemed to be linked to physical damage. Sasith spoke while coughing up blood.

——–

“Hurry!! We need to help that guy!!! Sasith is surprisingly incompetent!”

Taiga shouted.

No. Isn’t that assessment of Sasith too harsh?

“Right! What if he turns into underwear again… hehehehe.”

Umi couldn’t hold back her laughter.

That incident where he couldn’t do anything and turned into underwear did leave quite an impact.

However, there existed a burning passion shared between men.

“Sasith. It seems you don’t need help.”

I smiled at Sasith as I spoke.

“Ah. No problem.”

Sasith replied with a smile.

“Then we’ll do our part.”

I immediately had Taiga turn the wolf’s head.

“Yeah. It’ll be over soon. Secure an escape route.”

Sasith raised his sword.

“Let’s go then!! We need to destroy this factory!!”

I shouted loudly.

“Ha!! Yeah!! Let’s blow this disgusting factory away!”

Taiga yelled.

“Will he… really be okay?”

Tina seemed worried about Sasith.

“He’ll be fine. Sasith is strong.”

I said decisively.

He was the only Psychorobo Wild ability user and simultaneously the protagonist of this world. He wasn’t someone who would die here.

‘Besides….’

For Prill, Sasith was a prince on a white horse. I didn’t want to interfere with the moment when Sasith would heroically save Prill. I can’t resist pure love events.

We immediately turned around and headed toward the factory.

“Then I’ll kill you right now. I admit you’re strong for a mortal. However… you’ve used power beyond your capacity. That arrogance will be your downfall.”

Slave said as he took a battle stance.

“You’re the arrogant one.”

Sasith said while taking a deep breath.

“Die!!!”

The Psychorobos of both sides began a fierce clash. Sparks and lightning flew everywhere.

“That battle… was a confrontation that Pinocchio could never hope to imitate.”

I unconsciously spoke in a narrator’s tone.

“Master… I can get angry too, you know.”

Pinocchio glared at me with half-closed eyes.

Anyway, we headed straight for the factory.

———-

Whirrr-! Whirr-!

Machines were running everywhere. Clones were being created in real-time.

“Those clones… they’ll invade Earth when they wake up?”

Umi spoke with a slightly fearful expression.

Indeed, identical clones simultaneously invading Earth would be nothing short of horror.

“Then grab your tools!! Everyone!!”

I immediately dismounted from Fenrir.

Shriiiing-!!

All I needed to do was cut everything in sight with my sword. Just think of it like that famous phone game, FruX Ninja.

Pop-!

At that moment, someone appeared in the corner of my vision. A sturdy young man covered in black soot. He… was holding a sledgehammer.

“Finally we meet, Senior Luddite…!”

I recognized his existence.

He was someone who made it his life’s mission to destroy and burn every machine in sight, believing they were the cause of exploitation.

Of course, getting rid of machines doesn’t eliminate worker exploitation. Because of that, he became a symbol of anti-intellectualism.

But… what can you do? Humans fighting against machines, that’s romantic in itself. There’s romance there. Isn’t that enough?

“Hmph. Has my will… been properly passed on?”

Luddite muttered as he looked around the factory.

“I’ll show you my sword dance, senior!”

I immediately raised my sword.

“Ah. I’ll be watching.”

Luddite sniffed, then faded away and disappeared.

“Shota… he’s talking to himself again.”

Umi said.

“I see. So you’ve inherited the resolve from a previous hero.”

Tina made an incredibly convenient interpretation.

“No, Tina. If you humor him every time, you’ll just exhaust yourself. Just leave him be.”

Taiga said as he swung his baseball bat at a nearby machine.

Crash-! Boom!!

With that, one machine was smashed. The durability of the machines themselves didn’t seem that robust.

“That’s it!! Taiga!!! Just destroy everything you see!!”

I immediately shouted while holding my beloved sword Tomato, sending a slash toward the machine ahead.

Crash-! Boom!!!

As the machine was destroyed, a giant conveyor belt stopped.

“Hyaaah!!!”

Tina threw a powerful straight punch forward.

Boom-! Crash-!!

The machines helplessly shattered and scattered.

Breaking steel plates with bare hands… I made a mental note not to get into domestic disputes with Tina. That’s some monstrous strength.

And Umi…

“Eeeeeek!!!”

Umi screamed as she pulled out something dangerous.

It was a rocket launcher.

“Bang!! Bang!!!”

Umi immediately fired the rocket launcher. A high school girl firing a rocket launcher… that’s rare.

No, anyway, Umi was really getting into the mood. Seriously… she’s a weirdo too.

Boom!!!!

The machines hit by the rockets exploded with a thunderous sound. A refreshing explosion… no, wait!!

“Umi!! Where did you get something so dangerous!!”

That’s not a toy for children!

“Over there.”

Umi pointed to a corner.

There were familiar figures there.

Blue Beard, Green Beard, and Violet. All of them were holding high-powered weapons.

“Take one each. We need to destroy everything and get out quickly.”

Blue Beard said.

“Just using swords won’t be efficient. This is Pink Beard’s clone production base. Destroying it will cause significant damage.”

Green Beard pulled out what looked like a laser cannon.

“Hahahahaha!!! Disappear, all of you!!!”

Violet was spraying with a grenade launcher.

Boom-! Crash-!!! Bang-!!!

A fireworks-like scene was unfolding everywhere.

Violet… wasn’t she supposed to have a cooler image?

“Ah… Violet’s personality changes when she holds a weapon. Please understand.”

Blue Beard said.

“Your girlfriend seems quite formidable too.”

Green Beard said at that moment.

“Girlfriend? Oh…”

I looked at Umi.

“The recoil is amazing!!! It’s thrilling!!!! Eeeek!!”

Umi was firing a rapid-fire rocket launcher in all directions.

Boom-! Crash-! Bang-!!

“Hey!! Umi!! I almost got hit!!! Take it easy!”

Taiga immediately got angry.

“I want to stop… but I can’t!! I can’t stop!! I can’t stop pulling the trigger!!”

Umi kept pulling the trigger as if possessed by something.

“………”

I decided never to give Umi anything like a gun. Who knew she had a trigger-happy tendency…

Anyway, Pink Beard’s clone factory was quickly being destroyed.

Senior Luddite… are you watching?

Boom!!

With Violet’s strike, the last machine exploded. With that, the factory completely shut down.

“So what do we do now?”

Taiga voiced a reasonable question.

“Mr. Blue Beard!! You prepared an escape route, right?!”

I asked Blue Beard. If he dragged us into this dangerous situation, he should at least take responsibility for that much!

“Ah. I can open a portal. However… Sasith. That guy…”

Blue Beard asked.

“Ah…..”

The fight was definitely dragging on.

“….Sigh.”

Blue Beard, having roughly assessed the situation, offered a compromise.

“I’ll wait about 10 minutes. No more than that. The news that this factory has been destroyed has already reached Pink Beard’s ears. We can’t waste more time.”

Blue Beard said.

“Hey. What will you do if 10 minutes pass?”

Umi glared at Blue Beard.

“…We’ll abandon Sasith. It can’t be helped. He was born with the destiny to save the world, but… he’s not the only one.”

Blue Beard looked at me with a meaningful expression.

“This bastard…!!”

Enraged at the idea of abandoning a comrade, Taiga… grabbed Green Beard by the collar.

“Why are you attacking me!!”

Green Beard cried out with a tearful face.

Phew… you controlled yourself well, Taiga. Blue Beard is an important figure. You shouldn’t pick fights with him carelessly.

“Taiga. Calm down. Sasith will definitely come. We have to believe in him.”

I said.

“If he doesn’t come…”

Taiga muttered. The guy was worried about his comrade.

“He will. Definitely.”

I said.

———–

At that moment, Sasith was pushing Slave back with his six Psychorobos.

“Jelly King!!!”

Sasith immediately blocked Slave’s strike with Jelly King.

“Bonded Dark Magician!!!”

Right after, Sasith controlled the next Psychorobo.

“Suction!!!”

A scantily clad man wearing leather restraints swung his whip.

Crack!!!

The whip struck Slave directly.

“Argh!!!”

With that, the defense reduction debuff was activated.

“Damn it… for a mortal… to skillfully control so many Psychorobos…!!”

Slave seemed bewildered by this.

“Pupupung!!!! Holy Warrior’s Strike!!”

Sasith summoned Pupupung.

Thwack-!!

Pupupung brought down a large hammer on the forehead of Slave’s Psychorobo.

It was a technique that would definitely stun the enemy for a certain period of time.

Just a few seconds of stun was enough.

Sasith raised his hand high, concentrating his power.

“Uwang No. 799!! Gigantic Punch!!!!”

Sasith immediately activated the strongest physical technique.

“Uoooooooh!!!!!”

An enraged Minotaur roared as he drove down his massive fist.

Whoooosh-!!

The giant fist rained down on Slave’s head like a meteor.

“D-Damn it!!!!!!!!!!”

In his stunned state, Slave sensed his defeat.

As the shadow of the fist fell across his face, Slave was crushed under the punch.

Boom!!

The fist broke through the factory floor, pinning Slave to the ground.

“Keh!!”

With half his body shattered, Slave rolled across the ground.

Clatter-!

The soul stone Slave had been carrying fell at Sasith’s feet.

Sasith picked up the soul stone and walked toward Prill.

“Let’s go back together, Prill.”

Sasith handed the soul stone to Prill.

“Sasith……”

Prill wiped her tears and immediately embraced Sasith.

They savored the joy of reunion.

Though they wanted to feel each other’s warmth for a while, an interruption arrived.

“Hey!!! Hurry up!!! We need to get out of here!!”

Shota waved his hand and shouted.

“Ah… coming right away.”

Sasith cleared his throat and set off with Prill.

And so, Shota’s party successfully rescued Prill.

It was a major incident that occurred at the end of June.
