Chapter 382: Bring Down the Ancient Aerial Fortress! 5

Chapter 382: Bring Down the Ancient Aerial Fortress! 5

The aerial fortress, ‘Soul Conqueror’, floating in the sky above the royal capital, gradually brightening.

Towards this ancient weapon of slaughter, awakened from its long slumber to fulfill a wicked will, a single girl was running like the wind, climbing the purple magical cables still connected to the ground.

Her name is Emi Rune.

She’s trying to destroy this giant flying steel jellyfish and bring it crashing down to the ground.

Not for justice, not for the people.

But to fulfill a promise.

For herself, through and through!

All she could hear, as she continued running at a tremendous speed, was the sound of the wind.

<Listen carefully, Emi, while you’re running.>

...And another sound, the advice from the ‘Vessel of a Nameless God’, Extra-sama, her mind roommate!

<If you want to bring that thing down, your target should obviously be the giant red sphere glowing at the bottom of the cone.>

Emi, hearing that, narrowed her eyes and glared at what was in front of her.

The red sphere that Extra-sama mentioned was still emitting a fiery glow, illuminating the cityscape of the royal capital in red.

Because it’s glowing, it’s very conspicuous, and since it’s the size of a house, it’s easy to see even from her current location, where she’s still some distance away.

<I’ll skip the complicated explanations. That’s the power source. Since they’re deliberately exposing it, it’s probably quite hard... but if you punch it, it’ll break.>

Receiving that straightforward and easy-to-understand advice, Emi nodded slightly while running.

What exactly is that steel jellyfish?

What’s the goal of that Great Evil Spirit or whatever, who’s controlling it?

There are many things she doesn’t understand.

But what she has to do is simple.

...Run to the red sphere and punch it to pieces!

That’s all Emi has to do!!

But even as Emi continued running smoothly, there was, of course, a cause for concern.

One of them was.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr... !

So what!

Emi has been fighting and surviving all this time.

She survived the forest of her homeland, alone with Extra-sama.

She defeated the cult leader.

She defeated the White Serpent.

She defeated the Three-Eyed Poison Queen.

She defeated the giant monstrous bird.

She couldn’t defeat the legendary Black Dragon, but...

She defeated the Reincarnator, albeit before he awakened.

She scattered the Demon Lord’s army.

She defeated the Remnant of a God.

She defeated the Pale Pink Dragon and the horde of Green Dragons.

She defeated the vengeful Golden Bear.

She scattered the assassination organization.

She couldn’t defeat the Demigod, but...

She crushed the underground ruin.

She defeated the giant squid, the giant shrimp, and the crazed barnacle.

She defeated the Demon Lord’s army commander.

She scattered the cult.

She even scattered the invaders from another world.

And now, here she is.

Being targeted by a flying steel jellyfish...!

Emi Rune won’t flinch!!

“...RAAAAAAAAAAAHーーー!!!”

Emi roared, reenergized, and...

...Increased her running speed towards ‘Soul Conqueror’!
