Chapter 96: Battle for the Crown (2) [R-18]

“Sol and I will somehow hold one of them off.”

“Just send the one with the umbrella my way. She’s got her eyes fixed on me!”

“Yes!”

After a brief exchange, we found our opponents and clashed.

“Magical☆Rifle!”

True Queen Sol’s automatic rifle spat fire.

The older sister, Cannika, deflected the bullets with her spear while parrying Sarika’s sword.

As expected, Sanvika, the one with the umbrella, ignored Sarika and charged straight for me.

I started by firing a rubber bullet at her umbrella.

‘Moonlight Bullet count: 1.’

One pump of the action.

By then, Sanvika was already close.

“I’ll make you cry, Kim Sang-hyeok!”

She jabbed the tip of her umbrella into the ground and launched herself into the air like a pole vaulter.

All I had to do was track her with my muzzle and fire, but honestly, my hands froze from a lack of proficiency.

I never expected her to fly at me with such a flashy move.

And…

‘She’s beautiful.’

I was so mesmerized by the sight of the younger blonde twin sister flying through the air as if dancing that I just stared, captivated.

Just as she, soaring like a butterfly, was about to bring her heel—likely trained to A-rank or higher—down like a hammer, I snapped back to my senses.

“Sang-hyeok!”

“Kgh!”

[Analyzing enemy’s movements with Martial Arts.]

Analyzed!

Kuuuung!!

I twisted my body aside to dodge, and Sanvika’s heel slammed directly into the spot where I’d been standing.

Unbelievably, the giant’s plate, as wide as a school field, vibrated from the impact.

“Where’s your head at?!”

The moment Sanvika threw a punch, something flashed in my mind.

I can see her movements now, the ones I couldn’t read before.

[Potential Unleashed]

[Martial Arts (Master: Isabella) awakens into Isabella’s combat skill, 「Mask of Malice」.]

I don’t even know how I did it.

As Sanvika threw her punch, I smoothly parried it, using her momentum to throw her off balance and onto the ground.

Just like how the Student Council President toys with me.

“Kyaa!?”

This is it!

I’ve awakened the Student Council President’s martial arts.

Having a good body makes all this possible.

I immediately pinned Sanvika down and took the mount position.

Sanvika thrashed like a freshly caught fish, struggling to escape the bottom position, but I kept my center of gravity and held her down firmly.

“What kind of strength does a D-rank have…!?”

Sanvika looked up at me with a bewildered expression.

“Stay still if you don’t want to get punched in the face.”

“Gh…!”

Even though the twin sisters had sensed ‘something other than D-rank’ from me, it seemed they hadn’t expected this.

I took a moment to collect my thoughts.

‘These two are here to tie us down.’

We’ve sent the rebel NPCs, including Olaf, to the temple, so we have a slight lead.

But why can’t I see the Imperial forces?

“Charge! Don’t let those rebel bastards get their hands on the crown!”

“Waaaaah!”

A war cry echoed from above the canyon.

The one leading the Imperial forces was that annoying bastard, the Imperial general who tried to execute us, Dihrit Ade.

‘They didn’t get on the plate, they climbed the high ground?’

Are they trying to take the chain bridge on the side that leads directly to the temple entrance?

Are they planning to ignore our main force and go straight for it!?

‘This bastard! He’s trying to take the easy way out from the start!’

What should I do?

I can’t let them take the crown. And I can’t just leave the True Queen here.

It was then I realized our team composition was a disaster.

There’s no one to cover the side lane!

This was a perfect, wide-open chance the twin sisters had created for Dihrit.

‘Damn it!’

To stop Dihrit from crossing that chain bridge…!!

I clenched my fist.

[The Path of the Excretion Artisan has been unlocked.]

“Kgh!”

Sanvika, whose eyes met mine as I prepared for violence, didn’t show fear or beg me not to hit her. She simply gritted her teeth.

‘I have no choice!’

I have to deal with the twin sisters and get to the side lane, fast!

The moment they chose that detour, the longer we stay in the mid lane… the higher the chance we’ll lose the crown, the objective of this game.

‘Do it, Kim Sang-hyeok.’

This is an exchange event where everyone is serious. I might get by without Lucky Pervert, but I don’t think I can win while holding back on Personality Excretion.

Finishing move…

Personality Excretion Series!!

“Keep moving! Faster! Before they come to stop us!”

Dihrit yelled, urging the Imperial forces on.

Control my power. Control… An image of not making the heroine excrete her jelly through her asshole…!!

Just to the point right before it comes out…!

“Sang-hyeok! Watch out! Something’s coming from the sky!”

Just as Hena called out to me, a shockwave powerful enough to stop the blizzard swept through the area.

Shuuuuuk…!!

“What the!?”

Where did that attack come from?

Hena managed to block it with a barrier, but it was definitely a sniper shot.

“Over there! One o’clock!”

There’s someone else on the Imperial side who uses a gun besides me and Sol?

“I can’t block the next one!”

[Insight – Red activated.]

A purple flash glinted.

Realizing its trajectory was meant to save Sanvika, I immediately threw myself aside.

I stared in shock at the arrow embedded in the ground.

‘This… This isn’t a gun…! An arrow?’

I could tell the opponent sniped me from at least 500 meters away. They saw me through a blizzard and shot with perfect accuracy?

Where the arrow struck, a purple lotus flower bloomed magnificently.

Sol saw it and exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s Serena!”

“What?”

“It’s Serena’s Masterpiece, [Lotus Flower], Sang-hyeok-seonbaenim!”

Serena!

You were on the Imperial side!?

As the blizzard subsided, I could faintly see Serena aiming in our direction.

…Even her focused face is beautiful!!

Even the fact that my little sister, whom I was seeing for the first time in this exchange event, was on the Imperial team couldn’t suppress the excitement I felt at seeing my beautiful Serena.

And then I realized.

‘…Serena is also doing her best in her own position, Kim Sang-hyeok!’

I was overthinking things. I have to be ready to unleash Personality Excretion!

“We take out the twin sisters quickly and rejoin the main force!”

“Shouldn’t we stop them over there first!? Seonbaenim!”

“No. We have to protect the True Queen, too!”

Isolde said regretfully, looking at her disappearing pink rifle.

“Sang-hyeok-seonbae. I’m sorry. My weapon…”

“It’s fine. I’ll protect you. Just stay back and film or something.”

– LOL
– The best D-rank has to offer
– D Sang-hyeok
– Even his posing is on another level

“A 3-on-3 is perfect. Hena! Block the sniper!”

“Okay!”

Hena deployed a barrier, protecting us from the long-range sniper.

I advanced with Sarika.

“I’ll strike first this time.”

[Storm Sword Style]

As Sarika swung her sword, a ferocious gale blew the twin sisters off the plate.

I thought that was the end of it, but Sanvika floated down slowly on her umbrella.

The older sister is preparing something.

“Watch out!”

Cannika, who had been holding her sister’s ankle and gathering power, launched her body into the air using only the elasticity of her waist.

It’s a javelin throw!

It was so fast that by the time I realized she was throwing, it was already too late.

The twin sisters’ ultimate move.

“Seonbaenim!”

Sarika leaped forward and blocked it with her body.

“You…!?”

I thought getting hit by that would put a hole in your stomach, at a minimum.

Facing that vicious strike, Sarika threw herself forward without hesitation, then tumbled violently across the ground.

Sarika, who had practically scraped the ground with her body like a snow shovel, narrowly avoided falling off the plate, but she seemed to have taken enough damage to be unable to get up.

“Sarika!!”

Sanvika, who had landed back on the plate and returned to the battlefield, pointed her umbrella at us.

…The attack isn’t over yet!

“I’ll return it right back at you!”

A gale erupted from the tip of her umbrella and now swept towards us.

Did she absorb Sarika’s wind?

A desperate crisis. Hena fired a magic bullet, bombarding Sanvika and forcing her to raise her umbrella for defense.

The gale scattered into the air, creating a perfect opening.

‘The chance Hena created…!’

Cannika probably thought it was an opening her sister had made.

I fired a rubber bullet at the approaching Cannika.

Thwack!!

‘Moonlight Bullet count: 2.’

However, the shot didn’t stop Cannika.

I lowered the Benelli, drew my Glock, and fired four quick shots, but Cannika closed the distance even faster to deny me a clear line of fire.

‘Close-quarters combat situation: set!’

Now!

She’ll think she’s guaranteed to win if she gets close!

[Reading enemy’s movements with 『Mask of Malice』.]

[Understanding the flow of power.]

“Kushina!”

「Concealed Onahole」 activated.

Kushina, now invisible, leaped out and kicked Cannika, throwing her off balance.

“Agh!?”

She managed to stay on her feet, but her posture was completely broken.

“Personality Excretion… Womb Punch!!!”

Puuuuhk!!

I drove a merciless punch into Cannika’s stomach.

“Ngh, oooohk!!”

Cannika let out a helpless groan and fell backward.

[Achievement Unlocked: 《Path of the Excretion Artisan》!]

“Don’t be dramatic. You haven’t shit it out yet.”

“O-Onni! What’s wrong?”

“Hahk… Kgh…”

Cannika forced herself up, her legs trembling.

Sensing her sister’s crisis, Sanvika charged.

「I Choose This Onahole」

I exchanged a look with Kushina in her black bikini.

Stats increased to A-rank.

「Onahole Clone Martial Arts」 ready.

“Something’s weird. An attack from somewhere I can’t see… Anyway, don’t let Kim Sang-hyeok’s fist hit you!”

“Okay, Onni!”

In a little while, the Imperial forces will have crossed the chain bridge.

Can I finish this in about a minute?

It’ll be difficult, but I have to try…

“General Dihrit. Did you think you could cross without any interruptions?”

Huh? Could it be… reinforcements?!

That’s Hilaria’s voice. The one who helped us during the execution event by destroying the spire…

The cool, straightforward girl with the greatsword!

“Wh-where are you! You crazy rhino bitch, where are you now!”

“Calling your junior a crazy rhino bitch~~? Ahahaha.”

What the hell is that…

I looked toward the voice and saw Hilaria hanging from a vertical cliff with one hand.

She was holding her greatsword in the other, and she was even swinging leisurely, as if on a swing set.

“I’m disappointed. I wondered which way you’d come, but you chose the easiest route~~? A general should fight head-on!!”

“Damn it! I never asked to be a general. Stop obsessing over me!”

“Should I test if you’re general material? My dear senior!! Kehkeh!”

Shwoooong!

Hilaria launched herself like a rocket and landed in the middle of the chain bridge.

She stood alone, blocking the bridge Dihrit had gone all-in to cross.

I know I shouldn’t say this about a heroine, but I have to admit, she’s a real chad.

“Come on!”

“She’s just one person! Push past her!!”

Dihrit shouted a line that sounded suspiciously like a defeat flag and shot off a fire spell.
