Episode 106: Fugutar vs. Arjena
~Arjena the Demon Slayer’s Perspective~
—
『Alright, next up, we have the strategist Fugutar and the Demon Slayer Arjena facing off! But before that, a little advertisement! Cold ales and delicious jerky packed with flavor are sold by the Demon Duke’s Guild. Make sure to buy some and enjoy the match!』
Jeez.
Namba never misses a chance to do business, even here. She’s got nerves of steel.
『The fourth match is about to begin!』
Alright, let’s do this!
“Well, well. So brave, aren’t you, ugly girl?”
Grrr!
“You must be pretty confident in your looks, huh?”
“Ho ho ho! Of course. My body is on a different level compared to yours.”
“Hmph. Then maybe I should slice that boastful body of yours into pieces?”
I readied my sword.
“Heh heh. If you think you can, then go ahead and try. I’ll make you turn that sword on yourself. Charm Eye!”
Fugutar’s eyes gleamed pink.
“Ho ho ho! Foolish or reckless? Staring straight at someone who uses charm magic? Now, let’s see you dance to my tune.”
“Hmph. You’re going to control me? How exactly do you plan to do that?”
“W-What!? My Charm Eye isn’t working!? You looked into my eyes!”
“Not understanding your opponent’s strength is pretty laughable, don’t you think?”
“H-How is this possible!?”
“Charm-type magic can be blocked by Magic Defense, you know.”
“Magic Defense!? When did you activate it!?”
“Just before this match started.”
“But, there’s no magic barrier! I should see a transparent wall!”
“In front of my eyes. I put up a very thin, small barrier.”
“Ugh! Partial enchantment… The ultimate magic technique only those who’ve mastered magic can use… And you can use it!?”
Heh heh heh.
I’ve trained hard for this.
Hunting countless Ultra King Metal Hitoden has really boosted my magical skills.
“Ho ho ho! But it’s not just charm magic I have, you know!”
Huh?
So many Fugutar!?
『Oh my, this is amazing!! So many Fugutar have appeared on stage! This must be the illusion magic she used in the previous match!! How many are there… 5, 6, 7, 8… Looks like over 30!』
W-What is this?
“What’s your plan?”
“Ho ho ho. Imitation Vision. Now you won’t know which one is the real me.”
Fugutar readied her large scythe.
“I’ll cut off your head.”
So, the real one is hiding.
I tried slashing one of them, but it vanished like a mirage.
“Ho ho ho. I’ve created 42 illusions. Just like the number ‘42’ which can be read as ‘to death.’ Now, can you find the real one? Die!”
Whoosh! Her scythe grazed my shoulder.
Good grief.
“In the end, there’s only one real body, right? Illusions can’t hurt me, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“Ho ho ho. But if you don’t know the real one, you can’t avoid a real attack. Take this! Imitation Carnival: All-Out Attack! I won’t miss this time!!”
『Oh no!! A simultaneous attack from all 42 Fugutar!! Her scythe is glowing!! Is Arjena in trouble!?』
Heh.
Nothing but a mirage.
“That’s not much.”
“Enough nonsense! Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”
“Seven-Ring Strengthening Chakra Evoque, Level 10 Times Enhanced First Burst!!”
With this, my level is 2.4 million!
“Ho ho ho! It’s impossible to avoid a simultaneous attack from 42 at once!”
“Then I’ll just take down all 42 at the same time.”
“What?”
With my level 2.4 million ultimate move.
“Brave Slash!”
It was a powerful strike.
The slash I brought down sent a giant vacuum wave, sparkling like lightning, damaging all 42 Fugutar.
“Gyahhhhh!!”
41 vanished, leaving one real, battered Fugutar on the floor.
So, this one’s the real deal, huh?
Time to finish you off…
Or so I thought. Fugutar quickly stood up, shaking off sweat.
“I-I admit it!”
“Huh?”
“You are… s-strong!”
That was fast.
“…So, you surrender?”
“Ah… haha… Of course not. A warrior representing the Demon King’s army can’t declare surrender.”
“Then, I need to finish you off.”
“W-Wait! If I step out of bounds, I’ll lose!!”
Good grief.
Is she really going to make it a ring-out loss?
Well, the Demon King’s army must have its own reasons. I’ll watch it play out.
“Then hurry up and get out.”
“Hohoho… Alright, I’ll leave.”
With that, she started walking towards the edge of the stage.
If she steps out, I’ll win.
But then…
A voice called out from behind me.
“You’ve been fooled.”
Before I could turn around, Fugutar swung her large scythe down.
“The one heading out was an illusion!! You fool! The real one is here! Haha! You’ve been tricked! Dieeeeee!!”
Good grief.
“I knew that all along.”
“What!?”
“Your perfume is really strong, you know.”
“Dieeeee!!”
“I sensed you were behind me a long time ago.”
I grabbed the scythe’s blade with my hand.
“Sorry, but it looks like there’s a significant difference in our abilities.”
“Gah!? Y-You’re holding it with your bare hands!?”
“Seems like you’re the fool here. If you had just stepped out, you could’ve avoided this.”
“Aaahhhh!!”
“Well, time to punish the bad girl.”
“W-Wait, I surrender—”
“Oh, too late. The surrender window closed a while ago.”
“Eeeeeek—”
My fist sank into her face.
“Take this!”
“Aghhhhh!!”
Now then,
“Time for a justice punch session! Justice Arjena Machine Gun Punch!!”
A flurry of punches.
“Take this, and this, and this, and this!!”
“Ababababa!!”
“This is the wrath of Gaonga the Lion Man!! Take this!!”
“Aggggggggh!!”
“This is for mocking Gobtarou the Goblin!! Take this!!”
“Nububububu!!”
I focused on her once beautiful face, pounding it into a pulp.
I’ll turn that proud face into a slime!
“Feel my rage too!! Take this!!”
“Ugegegegegegegege!!”
And finally,
A powerful uppercut of justice.
With all my might.
My uppercut connected with Fugutar’s jaw.
For trying to trick me,
For mocking and belittling me,
For calling me ugly,
Justice shall be served—
“And this is my raging anger!!”
Fugutar soared into the sky with a ridiculous, ungraceful scream.
“Hogeeeeeraaa…!!”
Hmph! I won’t forgive anyone who makes me angry.
Evil must be vanquished!!
A few moments later, a loud thud echoed within the arena.
『Ohhhhh! Fugutar has fallen outside the ring! Ring-out!! The winner is Arjena!!』
Phew.
I feel refreshed.
It’s like the third morning after my period.
『Ahem— Next match will be Arjena vs. the Evil Dragon God, Jarme Gebazabahmar!』
Suddenly, Demon King Hebrah stood up.
“Braaaaaa!! Why is the Demon King’s army losing!!”
In an instant, the Demon King blasted the stage apart.
Whaaaaaaaat!?
“This is nonsense!! This game is over!! Come forth, Zaus!!”
Hey, you’re the one who started this game!
