Black Iron Magician

Chapter 292 Uvaa!

While Chinatsu and Gii-kun are destroying the white monkeys individually, Zeta is fighting the white monkeys in her own way. Being entrusted with the enemies on the left part, she casts her lightning magic on the bat.

「Electric Enchant.」

Electricity circulates around the large sword carried by Zeta, and the purple lightning runs around the blade. At the same time, the large sword itself began to change. If you look closely at the edge of the blade, you can see that it’s rotating at high speed with a number of tiny blades connected like a chain. Powered by the lightning that clings to it, the blade that keeps rotating is definitely in something dangerous and there’s no way to defend against it even if you can see it.

「Wow, it looks like a chainsaw.」

Haruna, who was looking at the situation on the gate, muttered so. People in this world might be unfamiliar with it, but as a Japanese, Haruna knows about it. Also, she had seen something similar in the battle against Aralkar. Yes, as Haruna said, Zeta’s weapon is a big sword, but it has the characteristics of a chainsaw.

「Bat-san, can you fly to a place with many enemies?」

「Gii!」

Contrary to Chinatsu, Zeta chose a dangerous place where a lot of white monkeys gathered. The Suck Bat obediently listened to Zeda’s request and carried her to the requested place without any sign of concern.

「Okay. Bat-san, please fly around here. I’m going.」

In the middle of the white monkeys stretching their arms to the sky where Zeta was, Zeta jumped down without any hesitation. The roaring sound from her large sword is getting stronger. It’s as if it’s engine-powered, and it looks like a real chainsaw if you look at it from a distance.

「Uvava!」

「Uvaa!」

The monsters, which are the same as the one who ate Zeta’s arm and legs, are waiting for her to come into their reach while opening their mouths. Zeta has no grudge now, but it’s physiologically unacceptable for her when she’s being treated as food. So, she decided to shut their drooling mouths first.

「I’m just looking for materials, so I’d appreciate it if you die quietly.」

When Zeta vigorously swung the large sword in the air, the boundary between the chain-shaped blades was dyed purple. No, not only the color that was changed. The small blades were separated from each other, the purple lightning tied them together, and the chain became unusually long.

Now, the chain is too long to fit into the frame of the large sword. It became like a whip, but it’s still rotating at high speed. After extending the chain of the large sword, Zeta swung her specialized weapon once again.

「Vah!?」

「Vee…!」

Then, the electric chain further extended and attacked the group of white monkeys. They were attacked by the electric shock and their flesh was gouged by the blades, creating wounds of various sizes. Even if they tried to fight back, they couldn’t move their bodies as they hoped because of Haruna’s poison, and their bodies stiffened because of the electric shock that they couldn’t even move their fingers properly. The attack of the large sword-shaped chainsaw continued, and it wouldn’t stop until the lives of the white monkeys came to an end.

「Ah, there’s poison down there, right? Excuse me.」

Probably imitating Chinatsu, Zeta landed on the ground using the white monkey’s head as a cushion. But in her case, combined with the weight of her artificial arm and legs, she ended up scattering various things from the white monkey’s head.

「…… I made a mistake.」

The soles of her artificial legs are dyed crimson. Thinking that there’s no use worrying about it, she used the head as scaffolding and continued to swing her too unique specialized weapon. While the white monkeys were slaughtered defenselessly, the electric shock was transmitted to Zeta through the dead white monkey that became a scaffolding. However, her artificial legs seemed to be absorbing the electric shock, so she received no damage. In the end, Zeta and Chinatsu didn’t suffer any damage and the battle is over.

「Good work~. I guess Zeta-san didn’t need the support of the Suck Bat, huh?」

「Ah, Haruna-san, good work. …… The corpses are also piled up there, huh.」

After the annihilation was completed, Zeta returned to the Suck Bat and turned round toward Haruna who came from the gate through the roofs. It seems that the white monkeys were also coming at her. After all, there’s a pile of monster corpses under the gate. Their white fur has turned pitch black, and they seemed to die in awful conditions, such as while scratching their necks.

「I thought that I would just get in the way if I help you, so I lured the ones near the gate by throwing snowballs… ah, I only used magic, so you don’t have to worry about that!」

「Don’t worry about what? Well, it sure is a relief looking at both of you unharmed.」

「Chinatsu-chan, good work~. Huh? Somehow, Chinatsu-chan looks better…?」

「T-That’s just your imagination!」

Despite saying so, Chinatsu wouldn’t let go of Gii-kun. Perhaps she was able to vent a lot of her stress, the trace of her suffering from her stomachache has disappeared.

「Well, then, I’m going to collect the materials…. What should I do with this polluted ground?」

「I think it will disappear after a certain period of time―― Ah, that’s right!」

「Haruna-san?」

The two looked confused when Haruna suddenly raised her both arms.

「The application of gravity manipulation! I will use Magic Power Detection to check the part that got polluted and I will gather that part only!」

「Hoo~」

「It sounds difficult, but can you do it?」

Chinatsu seemed a little worried whether Haruna can do such a magician-like thing. As for Zeta, she was impressed.

「Mumumu…!」

Haruna chanted 『Tiny Hole』, a Darkness Magic that she acquired at level 60 and the highest level of magic that she can use. Although it’s a mini size, it’s a great magic that creates a genuine black hole. This time, the goal is to suck in only the target, not everything, so it will definitely be a very nerve-wracking task.

Haruna is rarely out of breath no matter how much she rampaged, but now she’s adjusting her magic power while sweating. Her state is like when she was studying for a test. …… It may seem like it’s not a big deal, but in reality, it’s a big deal for Haruna.

「Oh, the black snow is….」

One by one, the lumps of black liquid, now almost like sludge-like in texture, floated in the air and gathered above Haruna’s head. All the poisonous substances in the abandoned village have gathered around Haruna and are about to be sucked into Tiny Hole.

「Ah, hey, Chinatsu-chan. I’ve got an idea. Rather than absorbing them into the black hole, wouldn’t it be better to press them together and use them for throwing?」

「The place where you throw the iron ball will end up in a disastrous state, so let’s stop it now….」

While looking somewhat disappointed, Haruna sucked in all of the poison in the village. Decontamination is complete, the abandoned village has been saved.

「Ugh, it was more tiring than I expected~」

Haruna collapsed on the ground.

「But, you were able to carry out your words, and I didn’t have to use light magic.」

「Ehehe, that’s right――whoa!?」

「I-Is it an earthquake?」

When the battle was over and the three were relieved, the entire abandoned village began to shake greatly. And then, there was a place that rose up greatly, and a house that was built there collapsed.

「UUUVAAAAARRR!」

What appeared there was a big white monkey, so big that it’s like a mountain. Looking at the horrible corpses of the white monkeys, its face was filled with anger and it let out a roar that shook the ground.

「Uwaah, is that the boss of the pack?」

「It seems so. It’s very angry.」

「It seems that it has the strength of the Demon King class. Both of you, prepare for battle――」

「――Ah, Zeta-san. Can I try to fight it by myself?」

Saying so, Haruna stood up and she was completely energetic.
