Ch.193The End of Survival (1)

“Go!! Pinocchio!! Spread your wings!!”

I immediately launched Pinocchio.

“Really… you’re working me too hard!!”

Pinocchio made a tearful face as he soared into the sky.

Pinocchio was surprisingly light, and his flying speed was impressively fast.

He was perfect as a reconnaissance aircraft. Worthy of the title “Prince of the Sky, Scout.” The defense industry corruption of the psycho-robo world! That was Pinocchio!!

“Hieeeek!!”

Trying to overcome his fear, Pinocchio flew toward Vizolda while letting out a strange cry.

Pinocchio’s ability, “Overwhelming Presence,” clearly demonstrated its effect.

Vizolda and his close associates all turned their attention to Pinocchio at once.

When aggro shifts is always the best moment to exploit an opening.

“M-Master is kind… and a good person!!”

Pinocchio shouted loudly.

“Uhaha. Suddenly praising me like that… ehehe.”

I laughed while stroking my hair.

Strrrrretch-!!

Simultaneously, Pinocchio’s nose extended enormously.

Wait. This little bastard…? Hey, that was actually true.

Nevertheless, as a sign of lying, Pinocchio’s nose stretched at an incredible speed.

Tiiick-!!

The extended nose itself didn’t cause any damage. However, it was sufficient to use as a pole to grab objects. Pinocchio’s elongated nose struck Vizolda’s crown.

“Ugaaak!! My crown!!!”

Vizolda immediately let out a scream.

Tick-!!

Pinocchio towed the crown with his nose.

“Come!! Pinocchio!!!”

I shouted loudly.

“Ah!! Whatever!!”

Pinocchio simply ran toward me and threw the crown.

Whoooosh-!!

The crown flew through the air.

Catch-!!

I immediately grabbed the crown.

“You bastard!!! The symbol of my power!!!!”

Vizolda raged from atop his pavilion.

“Hehehehe. This crown is mine now.”

I laughed while caressing the crown.

It was a clearly distasteful crown with numerous eyeballs and tentacles attached.

“W-what are you going to do with that…..”

Having lost his crown, Vizolda suddenly became timid.

At that moment, the crown whispered to me.

“Ah… a young and strong swordsman… I… can become your power. I’ll exchange your comrades’ lives for power… you’ll become the ruler of this world!!!”

The crown shouted loudly.

“Hmm. Fuck off.”

What a pathetic attempt at temptation.

Whoosh-!

I threw the crown into the air.

Swiiish-!

Immediately after, I drew my sword. It was the Japanese sword I had taken from the master. Originally, personal weapons were prohibited in the survival game, but this was supposedly a sword the master had smuggled in. He was quite a sneaky one.

Anyway.

Swoooosh-!!

I swung my sword.

Clang-!!!

Slaaaash-!!

With that, the crown shattered and scattered.

“Ugaaaaaaak!!!”

A high-pitched moan echoed from the crown. With this, Vizolda’s psycho-robo was dispelled. He wouldn’t be able to use it for a while.

“How dare you!! My crown!!!!!”

Vizolda shouted loudly.

“Come down!! Vizolda!!! Fight properly like a king!!”

I shouted loudly.

“What insolence to the Emperor!!! Boys!! Eliminate that bastard!!!”

Vizolda shouted loudly.

As expected, without his crown, he immediately calls for his subordinates.

“Attack!!!!!”

Vizolda’s subordinates immediately sprang forth.

“Everyone!!! Take care of the mobs!!!! I’ll chase after Vizolda!!”

I immediately ran toward the pavilion with my sword.

“Leave it to us!!!”

Frill immediately took out her psycho-robo Pink Teddy.

“Soft Defense!!!”

Frill activated her defensive skill.

Boom-! Clang-! Claaang-!!

Pink Teddy blocked attacks coming from all directions.

It must have been significant damage, but the effect of Soft Defense was a skill that divided damage like an interest-free installment plan.

“Burst Heal!!”

Umi immediately cast a healing spell toward Frill.

Their combat sustainability was truly overwhelming.

“Fenrir!! Sweep them away!!!”

Taiga activated his area attack, burning the monsters in front of him.

“Wow!!! Gigantic Punch!!”

After Taiga’s fire show, it was Sasix’s turn to shine.

Booooom-!!

With the barrage of area attacks, Vizolda’s subordinates couldn’t regain their composure. They might not be able to kill them in one hit, but they were doing well at holding the enemies back.

“Tina!! I’m counting on you!!”

I shouted toward Tina.

“Okay!! I’ll send you flying!!”

Quick as ever, Tina immediately understood what I meant.

Thud-!!

Tina took a kicking stance.

“Urgh!!!!”

I landed on Tina’s foot as a foothold.

“Uooooh!!!!”

Tina immediately kicked her leg high.

Whoooosh-!!!!

Thanks to Tina’s leg strength, I soared high.

It was enough time to reach the top of the pavilion.

“Damn it!!!! What the…!”

Vizolda seemed surprised by my jumping power. This is what teamwork is all about.

Tap-!!

I landed on the pavilion.

“Where do you think you’re going? You should play with me.”

I said with a smile.

“Uuuugh!!! Don’t underestimate me!! Mortal!! Even without my crown, I’ll kill someone like you easily!! I have my pride as an Emperor!!”

Vizolda drew an expensive-looking sword from his waist. It was studded with jewels all around.

Indeed… he was using a flashy sword befitting an emperor.

However, the match was already decided.

Whoooosh-!!

While he was delivering his speech, I had charged up Blazing Stance. After charging Blazing Stance in my legs, I kicked off the ground and approached Vizolda.

“Shit…!”

Vizolda seemed not to have anticipated this speed. In the end, he was a one-trick pony with his crown.

Slaaaash-!!

The vertical sword strike split Vizolda in two like a piece of firewood.

“Kuhuk…..!”

Vizolda opened and closed his mouth, trying to say something. Yeah, I won in a somewhat cheap way. But this is survival, right? Winning is all that matters.

Slaaaaaaash-!!!!

As Vizolda’s body was completely split in two, blood spurted like a fountain.

“Vi-Vizolda-sama!!!!”

“His-His Majesty has fallen!!!”

Vizolda’s subordinates shouted loudly.

“Ugaaaaaaak?!!!”

None of them seemed to have expected Vizolda to fall. The battle line immediately collapsed due to this development that defied common sense.

Moreover, devastating news spreads quickly.

“Vi-Vizolda-sama has fallen?!!”

“Defeated by humans!!”

“It’s over!! We’re finished!!”

“Higigigigik!!!”

Vizolda’s subordinates, who had been holding back Kirtan’s forces with the belief that Vizolda would do something, immediately lost their fighting spirit.

“Uhahaha!!! Look at them running away with their tails between their legs!!! No mercy!!! No prisoners needed!! Kill them all!!”

Kirtan, true to his pirate nature, slaughtered those who were fleeing.

The battle ended quickly.

Vizolda was thus eliminated from the survival game. And as the price of elimination, he lost his life.

——–

“With this…!!! The final team has been decided!! But there might be someone with personal ambitions!!! Now!!! Whether it’s rebellion or whatever!!! Is there anyone who wants to reach the top?!!”

Rahitan shouted with a cackle.

However, Kirtan nonchalantly said one thing.

“Our entire pirate crew wants to forfeit.”

Kirtan said.

“What?!!!”

Rahitan’s expression immediately froze.

“We’ve decided to support Arigiri Shota’s party.”

Rahitan looked at me with honey-dripping eyes.

Wait. That’s nice, but… our party isn’t the Arigiri Shota party, it’s the Sasix party.

“…….”

See! Sasix is making a sullen face!! What are you going to do about this!! Seriously!!!

“Ah… it’s you. I’ve observed your activities well. An Earthling… I once fought against Earthlings too.”

Rahitan looked straight at me.

Damn. What kind of monster stands over 3 meters tall? Plus, he was incredibly muscular. That gave him an extraordinary intimidating presence.

Rahitan lifted the helmet on his head.

There was a huge scar in the center of Rahitan’s forehead.

“This wound… was inflicted by a swordsman from Earth. To think I’d meet an Earthling in the finals… this is destiny!!!”

Rahitan then picked up a massive greatsword.

“Now!!! Brave Earthlings!! Come at me!!! Let’s make a finale for this festival of war!!!!!”

Rahitan shouted loudly and swung his sword once.

Booooooom!!!!!

At that moment, a tremendous shockwave swept through.

Boom-!!!!

With that, the mountains in this area were flattened. He wasn’t swinging his sword to attack us. It was just a sword strike to level the ground.

“Now the arena is complete!!! Come at me with everything you’ve got!!!”

Rahitan laughed heartily.

“Hey… have you ever thought about becoming a construction worker?”

Faced with Rahitan’s overwhelming work speed, I unconsciously made a comment.

“What nonsense.”

Rahitan said with a cold expression. Ah, he can’t take a joke.

“Shota!! But what are we going to do about this!! He looks obviously strong!!”

Umi immediately made a tearful face.

“Even if we stab him with weapons, it’ll probably feel like a toothpick to him.”

Taiga said.

Honestly… his overwhelming strength made me want to run away.

He was incredibly powerful in the game too.

All of his normal attacks and skills were area attacks. It truly felt like facing a giant.

His level itself was an average 60, but his HP was overwhelming.

But of course, such a boss had a gimmick.

He had a weakness. It was a characteristic of giant bosses in otaku media.

His weakness was, of all things, his soles. One on the left foot, one on the right foot. He was programmed to die instantly if both weaknesses were attacked.

Unlike common weaknesses like the head or heart, to expose his soles, you had to land a critical hit to make him fall down. Since he was resistant to all elements, you had no choice but to aim for critical hits. That’s why using psycho-robos with high critical hit rates was the standard strategy.

For this reason, Rahitan always fought with his feet firmly planted on the ground. Making him show his soles was quite difficult.

‘But… with the current Sasix, things are different.’

Right now, Sasix was an unprecedented powerhouse who had awakened to multiple summoning of six psycho-robos.

Alright, Sasix. It’s finally your time to shine. I smiled at Sasix.

Time to avenge the underwear incident!! Sasix!!!

I immediately charged toward Rahitan.
