CH 315

Let's reverse the hand of clock, on another battlefield, Rika took the target of ‹Boss Cocco› and ‹Boss Mogyu› and pulled them away from where Pamela was.

"That much distance should be fine i guess, Let's have fun, since there is no one to interfere. ‹Battle Instinct›! The name is Rika, let's have a fight fair and square, ‹Reveal Thy Name›!"

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!!"

"Moooo—!"

"‹Upper Block›! ‹Counterattack›!"

Rika stepped forwards unhesitatingly, despite facing the two bosses.

She propped her two blades, buffered herself with the skill‹Battle Instinct› and attracted their aggro using taunt skill.

The first to make a move was ‹Boss Cocco›. ‹Boss Cocco› brandishes its ‹Chicken Fist› and throws in a sharp punch (?).

Rika calmly cancels it with ‹Upper Block›. Following after ‹Boss Cocco›, ‹Boss Mogyu› rushed for a charge attack, ‹Raging Cow's Horn›, which Rika skillfully defended with another ‹Counterattack›.

While ‹Block› etc. types of defensive skill are hardly on par with the other skills like ‹Parry› that triumph in defence, offsetting the impact is much easier with them.

Rika often uses ‹Block› in the starting of the battle, where she studies the boss's pattern, and then eventually shifts to parries using the ‹Slash› category's defensive skill.

Like skiing on the ice floor, Rika constantly switched from one spot to another in order to avoid getting caught in their pincer attack while skillfully dealing with the boss's movement.

"Cocccco!!"

"Same attack will not work twice against me! ‹Counterattack›!"

"Coocco!?"

"Here comes Lulu! ‹Lolita Tackle›!"

Rika flawlessly parried the ‹Chicken Fist› that ‹Boss Cocco› used again, easily defending against it. After which Lulu joins the fray and charges with her skill, ‹Lolita Tackle›.

‹Boss Cocco›, as he was just knocked back by the parry, didn't have the time to dodge and got directly hit by Lulu's attack.

"Coccoo!?"

‹Lolita Tackle› was basically a headbutt by a loli.

It was a terrifying technique out of manga where one can typically see protagonist of the story headbutt by a loli on his solar plexus or other important parts, leaving him to writhe in the agony. 一一Though I don't know if Chicken has solar plexus or not.

However ‹Boss Cocco› surely did let out a voice of agony as its red glowing eyes turned white and collapsed right there. That was a critical hit. Damn, a critical hit right off the bat.

"Now, everyone!‹Justice Hero Sword›, ‹Charm Point Sword›! ‹Hero Special Effect›! ‹Sacred Explosion›!"

"I will from here. ‹Summon Spirit›! ‹Elemental Boost›! ‹Elemental Javelin›! ‹Elemental Lance›! ‹Elemental Arrow›!"

"Coccooo!?"

"It's a pity, I also want to try out some moves, but it seems impossible."

"Just barely at time, ‹Lightning Burst›!"

Lulu, Celia and I immediately launched our attacks on ‹Boss Cocco› who was pushed to down status.

In our strategy this time, the attacker's priority was to defeat the ‹Boss Cocco› as soon as possible, whom Rika will be holding down while Pamela is tackling the other boss solo.

‹Boss Cocco› was forced to down status with a splendid coordination of Rika and Lulu, shaving a huge chunk off its HP.

Rika and Lulu had just forced the ‹Boss Cocco› into down status with remarkable coordination when I turned to look at how they're doing, shaving off a huge chunk of its HP.

Their combo had been so beautiful I was left in awe.

Rika created a gap using her skilled move-set, and Lulu immediately moved on to unleash her full onslaught. One support and one attack, it was very much my ideal tactic.

Even without my instructions, everyone is already improving themselves.

Albeit, Rika was a bit disappointed that she didn't get to release her onslaught, so to make up, she contended with ‹Boss Mogyu› to her heart's content.

All of them were gradually getting the hang of acting as a party, visible from their growth.

Lulu seems to have gotten used to her 3rd order skill tree similarly. She has gotten out of her obsession with debuff skills and is properly assessing the situation before making a move.

Majority of the skills she used just now were of third order skill tree, and either of them packs quite a punch.

Although Celia also followed with her spirit magic attacks after boosting her attributes and I, with my long distance ‹Shine Lightning› skill, it was Lulu's skills that did the majority of the damage.

"Ack, forget it's not the time to get lost in reverie. ‹Aura Heal›!"

Well, I was also a bit bumped, standing in between Pamela and Rika to make sure they're healed up. My hands were equally itching to go all out with attacks, Alas.

I continued to heal Rika who was gradually accumulating damage. And Pamela...... She is still doing fine from the looks.

By the time I finished surveying the situation, ‹Boss Cocco› was also out of its down status.

"Co-Coccoooo!"

And its target right after getting up was, Lulu.

I guess Lulu ends up switching the aggro from Rika to herself.

‹Boss Cocco› raised its arm shaped wings along with a war cry and once again brandished its ‹Chicken Fish› at Lulu.

However,

"‹One Hand Hero›!"

"Co......cooo......"

Lulu acted so quick that ‹Boss Cocco› didn't even notice when, but Lulu had stopped ‹Chicken Fist› with her left hand.

‹Boss Cocco› became all baffled seeing how the attack was stopped by her, who looks like an elementary school kid.

In fact, as someone who is observing the scene from the sidelines, the stark contrast in their sizes creates a surreal scene.

But holy crap, was she looking so cool in the almost battle-manga like situation, catching the fist that was swinging down on her from above with just one hand!

"Gotcha! And then, ‹Lolita Hero一一"

Lulu swings her sword, putting a set of effects in motion while keeping her grip on ‹Boss Cocco› ‹Chicken Fist› tightly.

Ohh! Right after pulling a cool pose, she followed with one of the strongest moves!

‹Boss Cocco›, too, immediately swing down its other fist sensing the danger, but Lulu was quicker.

"Co--!"

"一一Smashhhh›!"

"一一一!?"

Bang

Echoed a crashing sound.

It was a stab attack that Lulu had chained. She skillfully drew the power of ‹Lolita Hero›'s powerful technique, ‹Lolita Hero Smash›.

Lulu halts in a pose reminiscent of swinging a rapier, and ‹Boss Cocco›...... ‹Boss Cocco› was blown away depicting a parabola in the air, the poor soul didn't even get any chance to scream.

It was yet, again, a scene that played out of battle manga where the protagonist performs their killer technique.

Damn, it was the third time I was lamenting the lack of convenience to take a screenshot. Unfortunately, it was the reality, I shook my head and etched that scene into my brain at least.

Holy crap, she looked so cool!

I was so impressed I ended up saying the same line again, I almost wanted to clap.

No, not almost, my hands automatically moved into clap for her.

"I did it!"

"Amazing! You were just amazing, Lulu! You're really the hero of the world!"

I praised her with loud applause.

Not just me, Celia next to me was equally clapping in fervour for her.
