Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 187.3

I was in a position where I would be caught in the middle of either the great sword Combat Skill or the spell poison, whichever I avoided, and I was forced to make a split-second decision.

Which was better? Either one would be equally bad. I was about to make a move towards Doehill, which would have created an opening after releasing a Combat Skill, when the roar of a beast echoed through the dungeon.

[Gaaaaaah!]

A jet-black shadow clad in the purple light of thunder. The beast, running like a storm, leapt into the middle of the storm of magic and combat skills, and blew away my body, which was in the center of the clash, with a body slam.

The impact hit me as if I had jumped off a castle wall more than a dozen meters high. But this… I knew who it was, but why? 

I was quickly fixed my body in the air to absorb the impact with the soles of my feet, and after being launched almost 10 meters in the air, I landed next to the “beast” that had arrived at the expected spot I was supposed to be.

“…Nero.”

[Gah!]

As I muttered the name, the huge jet-black phantom beast, Nero, looked me in the eyes and slightly raised the corners of its mouth as if smiling.

Doehill’s brow wrinkled at the appearance of the Rank 5 or higher phantom beast, while Charlemagne’s eyes remained wide in alarm.

Well… I didn’t expect him to be here. I was already feeling nostalgic and joyful. But there’s no point telling much between us, so I just lightly touched Nero’s back, who stood next to me, with my fingers.

“Shall we?”

–Fight–

Nero leapt forward like a black gale, his tentacles entangling with my left arm.

The sudden appearance of the phantom beast had the warriors on their guard, and when Nero whipped one of the unlucky warriors in front of him like a cannonball, Doehill instantly came to his senses and tried to cut him down.

“You Beast!!!!”

Doehill could have gone toe-to-toe with Nero. However, Doehill’s options were narrowed because he had just fired his Combat Skill and would not be able to immediately launch his next Combat Skill.

“Nah!”

“Haaaaaaah!!!”

Nero’s abrupt halt threw me off, and I sent towards Doehill, who immediately responded, but without the Combat Skill, there was no need for me to run away.

I barely avoided his blade as I closed in, with the greatsword grazing me and creating a new tear in my skirt. Using my momentum, I launched a kick at Doehill, and the moment Doehill blocked it with his elbow, I spun around on its axis and pierced his shoulder with my black dagger.

“Little Girl!!!!”

Fighting force with force, colliding magic with magic.

Nero, who was superior in power and speed, attacked Charlemagne, while I faced Doehill head on.

“You!”

Charlemagne unleashed a Steel Thread at Nero, which was repelled by Nero’s fur.

Sparks of lightning shot from Nero’s tentacles, blocking Charlemagne’s spells, then she wounded her palms again, her eyes turning dragon-like in an attempt to strengthen her body, which would be her secret weapon.

On the other hand, Doehill, the combat maniac, smiled as if he couldn’t contain himself anymore, pulled out my dagger stuck in his shoulder as I prepared to step forward and release my dagger Combat Skill before he could react in time with his great sword, when…

“””!?”””

Suddenly, a glowing Magic formation appeared under the feet of Doehill, Charlemagne, as well as myself and Nero, and its light enveloped us.

This is… a transfer Magic Formation!!!
