610 Episode 610: Right Arm of Ice.txt




No way. I have no intention of giving up. I've made up for the lack of innovation in the past. And I've got some new ideas for .......

 As soon as I declared that, I reached for the Golden Fang's equipment.

''Sorry, just share some of it.''
'What? Oh, yes.

 The Golden Fang Knight didn't seem to understand my intentions, but I don't want to waste time explaining, so I decide to start preparing immediately.

 Using my fingertips to stroke the surface of the shield, I [disassemble] and scrape off some of it.

 Continuing on, I get a little bit from the sword and armor as well, and press the powder enough to ride on my fingertips against my prosthetic hand (Miguide), and this time I use 【Fusion】 to unite it with my arm.

 It looks nothing different.

 It's just that a part of the Golden Fang's equipment was mixed with the material that makes up the artificial right arm.

''Vestry! Blast me again!
What! Hey, Luke! What the hell are you talking about?
'Don't worry, I've got an idea. With an opportunity like this, it's worth trying everything anyway, right?

 Vestri, who had been watching us from afar, holds the weapon at his hip in a slow motion.

 The fierce fighting style of Dustin and the others almost makes me forget, but this is not a real battle for your life, but a mock battle of some sort.

 Just like Norzli before, if the premise is to be useful in the battle against Agat Ram, the generals will listen to our requests to some extent.

 Since this kind of opportunity is rare, there's no reason not to let them make effective use of it.

''Demon Beast Factor, limited release--''

 He thrust his right hand, which held the medallion, forward.

 While his entire body was in intense pain, his artificial prosthetic hand continued to operate without any particular hindrance.

 This was despite the fact that his right arm was also affected by the power of the demonic beast.

 Then there was only one thing to try.

 Without using my body, which is lacking in strength as a material, it's my right(...) arm(...), and I'm going to unite my right(...) arm(...) with the Demonic Beast Hattie's Factor.

''--[Synthesis]

 The medallion merges into the entire right arm, and a layer of stinging ice covers the surface of the arm.

 It's just like an ice gauntlet.

 The ice armor, which would have been able to stop an ordinary slash just by its thickness, wraps around every inch of the armor from the tip of the finger to the front of the shoulder, and a sharp edge appears at the tip of the finger like the claws of a ravenous beast.

''Vestry! Come on!

 You thrust the ice baskets forward and fill them with magic power.

 The skill to be activated is 【Restoration】 - it's not a reckless thing like the previous one, which doesn't prepare an actual object to be repaired, but rather, it's a way to 【Repair】 the shield received from the golden fang.

 Using the shield's constituent material, which is fused to the prosthetic limb, the ice generated by the power of the demonic beast Hattie is used as the core material to create an ice shield with a distorted shape.

 The ice at the bottom end is extended to the floor to serve as a foundation, and it catches the super-fast chunk of metal released by Vestri head-on.

''Whoa!''

 At the same time, I continue to [repair] the shield and block the penetration.

 A roar of ice scraping and shattering resounded, and then a chunk of metal that had lost its speed popped and flew in a misguided direction.

''Yes!''

 Garnett squeals with delight.

 And I, too, remembered the response to the extent that I could assert that it was a success this time.

 Even after drawing out the power of the demonic beast Hattie and executing the 【Restoration】 using that ice as a material, I still have a clear consciousness that doesn't waver.

''I see, that's quite a feat for a human. But at this level, it's just a mere degradation.
'Yeah, I know. If we were simply building a barrier, it would be far more powerful for Garnett to use Hattie's medallion to build a wall.

 I fully affirm Norzuri's ridiculous mannerisms.

 If my body was sturdy enough to withstand the load, I could have normally limited awakened Hattie's medallion and used Hattie's power as it was to create an ice wall, just like Garnet did in the fourth level of battle.

 In other words, the current situation is just normal after all the effort and effort, finally.

''However, if only this was the case!

 He pokes his right hand on the floor and excites the power of the demonic beast Hattie, creating an icy path from his feet to Vestri's surroundings in an instant.

'[Restoration] ...... no ...... [Generation] activate!

 From around Vestri, several distorted ice (...) blades as tall as his body protruded at an angle, restraining Vestri's movements.

 Although I didn't manage to penetrate the armor, the arm formed by the earth magic was cut off by the ice sword tips, and the ice sword blades sticking out from all directions prevented my escape.

 What I [fused] into my right arm wasn't just a part of the shield.

 A part of the sword was also [fused] at the same time, and this time I used it as an axis to change the shape of the ice.

''Interesting. But you still have one more move to make.

 Norzuri hangs up the edge of his mouth with a smirk.

 Vestri spews flames from both feet and tries to rise, destroying the ice.

 That thing is unstoppable.
 I've tried to escape the restraints of Norsuli, who is much more adept with ice than I am.

 But it stopped moving slightly - that's enough for me.

''Over here!

 He pulls out the Alexia-Honestly Repeated Crossbow, which he had brought with him for self-defense, with his right hand and squeezes the trigger while putting the power of the demonic beast and skill into it.

 The aim is that moment when Vestri, who has escaped the restraints, is about to surface.

 The arrow bullets that were shot did not penetrate even a single shot of armor, but at the moment of landing, a small portion of the ice (...) armor (...) is [generated].

 Around the waist, around the neck, and around the legs.

 The parts of the armor reproduced in a distorted shape are not even structured in a way that allows the joints to bend properly, and they effectively become restraints, restricting Vestri's movement.

 If the entire leg is restrained, it will be destroyed by a jet of ascending fire.

 However, the flames cannot reach the ice clinging to the moving parts of the torso and legs.

 The weapons on both shoulders would also be caught in the restraints, reducing their range of motion and making it impossible for them to even take aim.

''(I can only do so much ...... this is enough)''

 The rest is the work of the Aii, who is watching from somewhere in the underground space that is littered with the remnants of the great ice tree that Norzuri has created - and who is watching from somewhere else.

'Dustin! I'll take care of the rest!

 A magic spear lightning bolt thrown from somewhere, drawing a complex and bizarre trajectory, pierced Vestri's head.

 And Dustin, who leapt high, grabbed the magic spear in the air and landed right beside us almost at the same time as Vestri fell to the floor.

''That's great. What have you been doing all this time?
'This isn't a battle, it's a mock battle of sorts. I was just standing by to let you guys have your turn.

 I didn't expect this guy to get beaten to that degree at all.

 No matter how much it's a first-time weapon, if this guy can't even defeat one of them and get beaten back, that's no way for the human side to win.

 Dustin looked at me and Garnett in turn, then untied his spear and turned on his heel.

Nice face. Looks like you got a great deal to gain. I'm looking forward to the future.
