至近距離から私のお腹を狙って突き出されたロン老師の拳を両手で受け止め、交わった目線に沿うようにして頭突きを食らわせる。
顔を顰めつつも、決して目を閉じる事はしない彼がそのまま逆の手で手刀を振り下ろして来るのを確認しながら、口の中に仕込んでいた極小さな毒針を吹き飛ばす。
ロン老師の手刀によって右の肩口からバッサリといかれてしまいましたが、強力な猛毒を仕込んだ針によって片目を潰す事が出来ましたね。
「くっ......」
「ぐぉっ!」
痛覚制限は完全に取っ払っていますからね、こういう大きなダメージを負うと痛みに少しばかり動きが鈍ってしまうのが玉に瑕です。
ですがまぁ、その痛みこそが私にこのゲーム世界が現実なのだと錯覚させてくれますので、今さら文句はありませんね。
そうです、今私は痛みの伴う命のやり取りを疑似体験しているのです。
これが、この『遊び』が楽しくない訳がありません。
「はァっ......!」
老師の顎を狙って掌底を放ち、見事決まるもののクロスカウンターとして私も喉に人差し指と中指だけを少しだけ突き出した様な、特殊な握り方をした拳で殴られてしまいます。
ロン老師は一瞬意識が飛び、私は呼吸困難から数秒のインターバルが生まれる事で、何とも不思議な静寂が辺りを包み込む。
それまでの激しい打ち合いの音が木霊する空間から一転して静謐──そして、また耳障りな戦闘音が鳴り響く。
「がハッ......?!」
右肩をやられたのが響いて来たのか、ここに来て受け流しに失敗して老師の貫き手によってお腹を突き破られてしまいましたね。
彼もまた、片目を潰されているというのによくもまぁ当てて来るものです......いや、片目が潰されているからこそ心臓ではなく、お腹に狙いがズレたのだと言うべきでしょうか。
ここに来てこの大ダメージは、これまでの拮抗が崩れかねませんね。
口から大量の血を吐き出し、急激に減少していく自身のHPを横目に見ながらロン老師に向けて微笑んで魅せる。
訝しげな顔をする彼には悪いですが、少しばかり打ち合いながら誘導させて貰いました。
そうです、ここは貴方が弾き飛ばした山田さんとポン子さんの真下です。
念話によってロン老師の意識下から外れ、油断するまで待機を命じておいたのが功を奏しましたね。
回避しようとするロン老師の腕を、私のお腹を突き破っている腕を抱え込む様に握り締める事でその場に留まらせ──真上から降ってきた銛がロン老師の背中を貫く。
......これで条件はまた同じに戻り、事態はまた拮抗しますね。
「ゴッ、ガハ......やって、くれおるのぉ......」
「ふふ、貴方が女性のお腹を殴るどころか貫いた様に、私も貴方を高齢者とは見ていませんので」
後ろへと跳躍する事でロン老師から離れながら、回復魔術を掛けつつ糸によって腹部の傷口をそのまま縫い付けていきます。
サラシとかを巻いていれば良かったのですが、無いですからね......こうでもしないと臓物が溢れ落ちてしまいますから、仕方がありません。
「ポン子さん」
私の呼び声に応え、ロン老師に捕まってしまう前にポン子さんは自身の身体を銛から銃へと変形させ、そのまま私の下へと戻って来ます。
突然体積の変わったそれにロン老師が一瞬驚いた顔をするものの、すぐさま拳を構え直すところは流石ですね。
「《写し影絵》──からの《ハッピートリガー》」
銃形態のポン子さんをそのまま増やし、二丁拳銃となった状態でスキルを発動する......この《ハッピートリガー》は自身が今持つ弾薬なんかを使い切るまで引き金を引き続ける使い所の難しいモノではありますが、出し惜しみはなしです。
ロン老師の両の拳から放たれる藍色の衝撃波を一つ相殺するのに五発は必要ですからね。
「あんまり叫ぶと頭の血管が切れてしまいますよ」
ロン老師を中心として反時計回りに駆け抜けながら引き金を引き続ける。
私が従魔達を強化するスキルを使い、三田さんが『錬金術』のスキルで簡易的な弾薬を補充してはくれますが......減る方が早いですね。
先ほど迄の拳の打ち合いよりも煩く、けたたましい撃ち合いの音が密閉空間に反響して耳に痛いです。
これでは私の忠告も老師の耳に届いているかどうかも分かりません。
それに、お互いにお腹や背中に穴を空け、反対側にまで貫通する様な重傷を負っているというのに元気なものですね。
反時計回りに回りつつ、少しずつ距離を詰めているせいでロン老師の攻撃の勢いが増して見えるのかと思っていましたが、普通に時間が経つ程に彼がギアを上げているだけでしたし、とんでもない老人ですね、えぇ。
「──《溶断》」
老師のスキルの効果が終わったと同時に私の弾薬も底を尽き、最後の薬莢が地に落ちる甲高い音が響き渡るのに合わせてお互いに最後の攻撃に移ります。
もはや金属製の武器は耐久値の減りが早くなる等のペナルティに配慮している余裕はありませんから、そのままポン子さんを短刀へと形態変化させてスキルを発動し、激しく赤熱した短刀を、ロン老師に向けて振るいます──
「──儂の、勝ちじゃ」
──が、最後の最後でダンジョン領域を作り替える力を使ったのか、私の足元の大地が半回転し、短刀が振りかざされる前方に柱が立つ。
それによって狙いがズレ、逸らされた私の攻撃とは違ってロン老師の手刀は見事に私の横腹を斬り裂いていました。
確かにここだけ見ればロン老師の勝ちは疑いようもないものでしょう──
「──いいえ、これで最後です」
──ですが、私の《写し影絵》はまだ発動中ですよ。
片目を潰されたロン老師の死角となる角度で、私自身の身体を壁として隠していたもう片方の短刀で気まぐれに伸ばしていた自身の髪を切り離してしまいます。
それによって手に入れた私自身の長い髪の毛の束を捻りながら──背後からロン老師の首に掛ける。
「がァっ、ウッ......グゥっ?!」
「知って、いますか? ......はぁ、はぁ......この体勢って『地蔵背負い』と、言う......らしいですよ?」
まぁ、そんな事を聞く余裕なんてないでしょうけどね......かく言う私もそこまで余裕がある訳ではありません。
暴れるロン老師を抑える為に使用出来るMPなんかも底を突いていますし、これまで負わされた大ダメージによって私が死ぬのが先か、ロン老師が窒息死するのが先かのチキンレースです。
「貴方の、片目を潰した毒、ですがね......それ、脳に行くはずの酸素を奪う効果が、......あるんですよ」
もちろん通常通りの効能も最低限は完備していますが、この酸素を奪う効果が一番大きいでしょう。
「なので、遠慮なく窒息死して構いません......よっ!」
「ガッグゥ......っ!!」
ダメ押しとして、元の短刀へと憑依し直した山田さんと棍棒に形態変化させたポン子さん......それから井上さんの一部を使って死にかけの老体を袋叩きにします。
雀の涙ほどだろうが、たった一ダメージだけしか与えられなかろうが、今は私より少しでも早く殺すのが最優先事項ですからね。
「がっ、ぐっ......ぁ......ぉあ........................」
それっきり動かなくなったロン老師の死体を、クエストクリアのアナウンスが流れるまで情け容赦なく──滅多刺しにしました。
I caught Master Ron's fist, which was projected at close range, aiming at my stomach with both hands. I gave him a head butt along the way and our eyes met at some point.
I saw him frowning but never closing his eyes as he came down with a sword in his hand. Then I threw out the tiny poison needle that I had right in his face.
Master Ron slashed me with a sword at the right shoulder, but I was able to destroy one of his eyes by using a needle having a powerful and deadly poison in it.
"Crap. ......"
"Geez!"
I have completely removed my pain limit, so when I take such a big damage, the pain is huge and it slows me down a little bit.
But, well, the pain is what makes me feel that this game world is real, so I have nothing to complain about now.
I am now experiencing simulated pain in exchange for life.
How can this "game" not be fun?
"Haa......!"
I aimed a palm strike at his chin, which was successful. But as a countermeasure I was also hit in the throat by his fist with only the index and middle fingers sticking out a little.
Master Ron momentarily lost focus, and I was able to have an interval of a few seconds to breathe. A strange silence enveloped the area.
The space, which had been filled with the sounds of fierce battles up to that point, was now tranquil - and then the deafening sounds of battle rang out again..
"Gah ha ......?!"
Because my right shoulder was hit, here I failed to block another strike and Master Ron pierced my stomach with his bare penetrating hand.
How can he strike so perfectly when he is blinded in one eye? ...... Or should I say that because he is blinded in one eye, his aim was shifted to my stomach from my heart.
This heavy damage here could destroy the battle that has existed up to this point.
Spitting out a large amount of blood from my mouth, I smiled at Master Ron and fascinated him. As I looked at my HP on the side, it was rapidly decreasing.
It's bad for him to have a suspicious look on his face, but I let him dominate me around with a little bit of confrontation.
That's right, this is right under Yamada-san and Jun-san, whom you shot away.
It was a good thing that I had ordered them to stand by until Master Ron was caught off guard and then I used telepathy.
I held Master Ron's arm as he tried to escape by clutching the arm that was piercing my stomach - a harpoon came from directly above and pierced his back.
...... Now the scenario of battle is back to the same and things are competitive again.
"Gosh, gah,......, you've done it,......."
"Well, I don't see you as an old man, just as you didn't just punch a woman in the stomach, but penetrated her."
By leaping backwards, I stitched the wound in my stomach with threads while applying restorative magic. I tried to maintain a distance from Master Ron.
I wish I had wrapped a tissue around the wound, but I don't have any. ...... I had to do it this way or the guts would overflow and fall out.
"Jun-san."
In response to my call, before Master Ron could catch her, Jun transformed the body from a harpoon to a gun and came back to me.
Master Ron looked surprised for a moment at the sudden change in the shape, but he immediately readjusted his fist.
Happy Trigger from "Shadow Image"!
Jun is increased in gun form, and with two guns, he activates his skill ...... This [Happy Trigger] is a difficult thing to use, as it keeps pulling the trigger until he runs out of ammunition and he doesn't use it sparingly. It's difficult to use and I can't be stingy with the ammunition.
It would take five shots to counteract one of the [Ryujin Gekijutsuken] shockwaves from Master Ron's fists.
"If you yell too much, you'll burst a blood vessel in your head."
I continue to pull the trigger while running counterclockwise with Master Ron at the center.
I used my skills to strengthen my servants and then "alchemy" to replenish simple ammunition, but the .. decrease is faster.
The sound of the gunfire reverberates in the enclosed space and hurts the ears more than the fist fights of earlier.
I am not even sure if my warning has reached Master Ron's ears.
Besides, we were both seriously wounded with holes in our stomachs and backs, even penetrating to the other side, but we were both ready to fight.
I had thought that the momentum of Master Ron's attack seemed to increase because he was gradually closing the distance while turning counterclockwise, but it was just him gearing up as time went by as usual, and he is one hell of an old man.
"- -Fusion"
As soon as the effects of the Master Ron's skill are over, my ammunition runs out. And as the high-pitched sound of the last cartridge case falling to the ground echoes, we move on to each other's final attacks.
Since there is no longer time to take into account the negative effects of metal weapons, such as the faster decrease in durability value, I transformed Jun into a dagger and activated my skill, swinging the red-hot dagger violently at Master Ron.
"It's a win."
But at the last moment, perhaps using the power to shield up using the dungeon surrounding, the earth beneath my feet rotates halfway around, and a pillar stands in front of where the dagger is swung.
Unlike my attack, which was deflected by this, Master Ron's dagger had cut through my side brilliantly.
Surely, there was no doubt that Master Ron had won the fight.
"-- No, this is the end."
"--But my "copy shadow image" is still in operation."
At the angle that would be a blind spot of Master Ron, who is blind in an eye, I cut off my own hair that had been stretched whimsically with the other dagger that I hid behind me.
Twisting strands of my own long hair that I had obtained from it - I hung it around Master Ron's neck from behind. I strangled him.
"Gah, ugh ...... guh?"
"Did you know? I've heard that this position is called the "Jizo backstrap",...... haha,......?
Well, I don't think I could afford to ask such a thing. ...... I didn't have that much time but I did it anyway.
I am running out of MP to use to control the rampaging Master Ron, and it is a chicken race to see whether I will die first or he will suffocate to death from the heavy damage I have inflicted on him so far.
"The poison that blinded you in one eye ...... has the effect of depriving your brain of oxygen making you unable to use your body"
Of course, it has all the usual benefits, but this oxygen deprivation effect is probably the biggest.
"So feel free to choke to death......"
"Gagoo......!!!"
Yamada-san, who has re-possessed himself into his original dagger, and Jun-san, who has morphed into a mace...... then uses part of Inoue-san to beat the dying old man.
Even if the damage amount is small, the top priority now is to kill him as quickly as possible.
"Gugu.......oh........."
I mercilessly stabbed Master Ron's corpse, which had then stopped moving. Soon I stopped when the announcement was made that the quest was complete.
