Chapter 234.2 - Yamata no Orochi Subjugation Battle V

The pulley was made with my own alchemy brought by Arachne. The frame of the pulley was made by combining a steel rod using Randou-san's magic.

The assembling works were done without a hitch.

Afterward, they just needed to lower the bucket I rode in toward the bottom of the well.

「Gulp...」

But just as expected, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat as the bucket was lowered dozens of meters below the ground.

In the worst case that the bucket fell, the lifeline that tied up around my waist would prevent me from crashing straight to the bottom but... Honestly, I wouldn't do this if Mei-chan wasn't the one holding my safety lifeline.

I was completely hanging in the air, but the burden on my body wasn't that big since the rope that was tied to my body was connected to the vest-like gear that was strapped on my body.

It was a gear used in spy movies when they came down from the air duct to prevent them from touching the floor.

Naturally, the vest was personally made by me.

I made every piece of gear that was directly related to my safety with my own hands instead of relying on Takanashi Kotori.

The issue of whether she wanted to kill me or not aside, I wanted to be spared from having to wear safety gear made by that capricious bi*ch.

Around halfway to the bottom, I was enveloped by total darkness.

Even with Sakura-chan's light spirit floating above me, it barely had any effect in this situation.

That's why I made Cantera in anticipation of that.

Honestly, Sakura-chan's 『Light Alchemy Formation』 was a disappointment but, there was nothing more useful than this cantera if it's only limited to making illumination. Anyhow, all we needed to do was put 『Tiny Light Spirit』 into the cantera to make it shine bright white light.

I finally reached the bottom of the well by relying on the illumination of tiny light spirits in the cantera.

「I've arrive~d!」

I screamed as loud as I could so that the people above knew that I had already reached the bottom.

The depth of the hole was around 30 metres. When I looked up, its height was around a ten ten-story building.

Fortunately, my voice might have been able to reach the people above without having to use the tool that I brought with me.

「WE WILL SEND THE LUGGAGE DOWN KOTARO-KU~N!」

「ROGE~R!」

A treasure chest tied up with rope came down along with Mei-chan's voice.

All the tools that I needed were crammed into this treasure box.

「I'LL START THE PREPARATION TO MELT THE SHELL! TAKE CARE OF THE DEFENSE ABOVE!」

Thus I arranged the best possible offering on top of 『Bottomless Abyss』.

+++

Thus, I roared as I invoked my sorcery.

That said, I'd done everything I had to do.

「This shell, is your last line of defense... It's checkmate!」

I raised my right hand which was covered with 『Shaman Exclusive Glove,「Curse The Hex」』. As soon as I activated the 『Hexagram Formation』 embroidered on the glove, blood gushed forth from the palm of my hand.

And it wasn't just your usual blood, it was the fresh blood of a shaman.

「Inheriting The Meaningless Trial. And Unfortunate Fate. If You're Chosen By Fate, Carve It With Your Own Feet――『Black Blood』」

Man, it's been a really long time since I used this aria.

This was a sorcery that enhanced the effect when casting 『Rotten Bog』. I've used it properly without forgetting about it.

And then, when a droplet of the 『Black Blood』 dropped into the 『Bottomless Abyss』, creating a ripple.

「Rot away in the water of rotten red――『Rotten Bog』」

I'm not done yet, I invoked another sorcery to enhance it even further.

The blood-like poisonous pool then boiled up as it overflowed from the magic circle, it spread into a circle and swallowed the offering.

The diameter was around 1 meter.

It was smaller than usual. But it certainly was digging deeper and deeper into Yamata no Orochi's shell with uncanny efficiency.

And the depth it reached right after its invocation was――

「Around 1 meter eh... Dammit, this is going to take a lot of time...」
