Chapter 322.1. The Counterattack Begins
-Miu’s POV-
Mii-chan gracefully performed a somersault and leaped out of the Poyorin car.
What an impressive entrance. Mii-chan, who is usually delicate, gathered her courage and charged. Everyone was moved to see her attack with such determination... but wait, something’s different.
Mii-chan usually lightens the mood before diving into battle, but she sensed this time was unlike any other. It was because Duke Kanna, in his awakened state, was wearing the golden magic armor and gazing down from the sky with a relaxed expression.
Strange, it feels like the battle is already over. Maybe I didn’t make it in time?
“Mi-sama, you came to our rescue!”
Yamiyo, who was battling the mysterious frost-covered warriors, calls out in delight. Uncle Ouga is standing next to him, also engaged in the battle.
“Thank goodness, everyone is safe.”
I breathe a sigh of relief, patting my lightly armored chest. If Yamiyo had died, I would have used the [Resurrection] magic, no matter what. I’m relieved; it was just a misunderstanding.@@@@
“No, your arrival was a bit late. The Emperor is already dead, and the tide of the battle has turned.”
Duke Kanna informed us with a calm smile.
“Kuh, you’re right, Countess Takano! Please assist us in suppressing the rebels!”
It seems it wasn’t a misunderstanding. Nobunaga clenches his teeth in frustration.
Oh, that’s right, the Emperor is no longer here. He must have died.
I hit my hand with a “pom” and remembered the missing members of the team. He was an old man who didn’t have enough sense of himself as an Emperor as he was the first to die.
[Yes, the Gjallarhorn can produce a sound that resonates throughout the world. It’s actually done through magic, but I had it modified for the coming Ragnarok as I had some free time.]
Neetdar chuckles coolly. He must have had a lot of free time.
[When I confronted Loki, I asked him to wait while I played the Gjallarhorn. I then unleashed a sonic blast with the power cranked up to the extreme when Loki let his guard down. He gets completely torn to shreds. Ahahaha.]
Heimdall boasts with a proud smile, but it seems awkward considering the outcome.
After all, Heimdall and Loki fought to the death, so it’s a way to gauge the difference in their strength by seeing how badly Loki gets torn to shreds in a one-on-one battle.
He’s not a god who does good things. I wish he hadn’t left behind such a weapon. No wonder he kept playing the Gjallarmonica every time we were in a tight spot. With the original Gjallarhorn, could it have inflicted significant damage on the enemy?
Given the situation, I imagine Neetdall, instead of playing the Gjallarmonica, transformed into Heimdall playing the sonic weapon Gjallarhorn in his battles. Heimdall would have vanquished his foes with the Gjallarhorn and come to the rescue, looking cool.
Well, he probably has a personality that would have led to even worse scenarios if he had possessed the Gjallarhorn. More importantly, I need to help Yamiyo and fulfill the clear condition: defeat Duke Kanna without revealing my God power. In other words, there’s only one route to take.
“Shisho, please help me defeat Duke Kanna!”
She turns around and makes the request. Mii-chan’s astral body still hasn’t fully recovered, so intense physical activity is prohibited.
“I suppose there’s no helping it.”
Odin raises his arm and his single eye gleams.
[Come forth, Gungnir!]
Using thought, Grandpa Odin calls his beloved spear. The god spear Gungnir flies through space and lands in Grandpa Odin’s hand.
“For now, I owe the Emperor for the Druid incident. Duke Kanna, you better die quietly.”
Mii-chan would also like to equip the Jarngreipr, but she has a feeling it’s a God armor for the Gods, so she’ll refrain. The God sword would be out of the question too.
