CH 127.1

Chapter 127.1. Boss Battle With Thorn Princess!

Surprisingly, the ivy-tangled door opened as we approached. The thorny thorns, as if with a will, created a passageway leading to the back.

The thorns had a will, inviting Miu and the others to go deeper. In the darkness, under a faint light source, we had no choice but to go on, trusting only in our strength.

“It seems that we are being lured.”

“Right. ……. With everyone’s help, we’ll be fine. I’ll be absolutely fine.”

“I’m going to make you eat Ninny-sama’s big move!”

“Leave the recovery to me!”

The four looked at each other, nodded their heads, and continued walking to the back.

We proceeded, taking care not to injure ourselves in the tangled thorns. Yamiyo looks grim with a furrowed brow, and Tamamo is also nervous with her fox tail perched on her tail. Even Ninny walked in silence, not opening her mouth.

Finally, they arrived at a hall that could easily fit a soccer field. Everything around us was covered with thorns, and poisonous flowers were blooming, sprinkling poisonous pollen.

On the ceiling, Light Flowers shone with crystal-like petals, illuminating the hall. Thorns were crawling to the floor, and if you fell, you might get hurt.

And at the far end of the room, there was a tulip bud-like thing that was five meters long, from which countless thorns were growing.

[You’ve come a long way, haven’t you? I was surprised you could withstand the poisonous pollen and destroy the monsters, young ladies. You’re kids, but you’re good!]

We can hear Gerðr’s voice from somewhere, but we can’t see her. She must be remotely controlling the flowers again.

“I will save Mashiro-oniisama.”

“Get onii-chan out of here!”

“I’ll do my best!”

Yamiyo and the others, each with their weapons at the ready, approach the buds with careful steps.

[Alright. If so, I’ll let you meet him when you’ve beat my prized flower.]

Gerðr teases with a sly smile. The buds begin to open in time to her words.

[Princess Thorns. Can you win? I’ll make it a sight to behold.]

The prolonged voice breaks off, and the buds fully blossom and reveal themselves.

The petals of the blooming flower were a beautiful, deformed beauty. Only the upper half of its body grew from the center of the flower, and its beautiful, voluptuous limbs were green in color, evidence that it was a plant.

It has no hair on its head, but a poisonous flower is present. It has a beautiful face, with a bewitching atmosphere, and her closed, slitted eyes open to reveal blood-red eyes. Then the well-formed lips begin to open.

When her entire lip cracks open, she bellows her skin like a worm in a mortar and peels her fangs.

“Kishaaaa!”

It made the broad space shiver with its roar, and then, with a purple mist around its body, it whipped the thorny ivy that grew in place of its hands like a whip and came into a fighting stance.

[Kuhaha! Thorn Princess dances the death dance. Do you think you can stand up to the end?]

“Everyone, be careful!”

“Yes!”

Gerðr’s loud laughter was the signal for the boss battle to begin. The first to go was Thorn Princess, the Princess of Eerie Flowers.

The first to take the lead was the Princess of Thorns. Her eyes sparkled, and she waved her ivy hand.

As if on cue, the thorny ivy covering the entire room trembled and released its thorns.

[Thorns Rain].

Thorns attack from all around. They came at them like a torrential downpour, and Miu and the others couldn’t avoid them and got damaged seriously.

“Kyaaaah!”

“Ow!”

“Ouch!”

The magic barrier is activated, but unable to withstand the continuous attacks, it blinks like a fluorescent light that is about to go out, losing its effect from time to time.

Several shots bite into the girls’ bodies, and everyone frowns in pain.

[The thorns will bite into you and use you as a nursery for their growth!]

As Gerðr proudly informs us.

“Damn! These thorns are going to sprout and enter your body!”

[Cure I]

[Healed Ninny’s Poison I!]

Several thorns that hit the body crack open, and the roots try to enter Ninny’s body. Ninny looks horrified and reaches out to remove the thorns, but it’s okay. Miu immediately held out her tiny hand and recovered it.

All the thorns are replaced with ashes and scattered in the wind.

“Leave it to me to recover from status abnormalities!”

“Eh? Oh, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

In my previous life, when I was playing a net game, and cured my allies when they got an abnormal attack. For a good white mage, this is a piece of cake. Even if they told me I don’t need to cure that poison until the end of the battle, the white mage will do it.

I’m smiling nicely, Ninny looks surprised, but she quickly regains her composure and calls out to Yamiyo.

“Are those thorns dangerous?”

In the end, Ninny gets to whisper.

“Uh …… seem okay?”

“Oh, that’s the power of the magic tools. It glowed so brightly!”

The thorns that bit into Yamiyo and Tamamo turned to ash and scattered in the wind, leaving them both open-mouthed and amazed. Of course, the thorn that pierced Mii-chan also turned to ash.

“It was a poison attack, so the anti-poison ring reacted!”

Veterans must teach beginners various things. I proudly explained this to Ninny.

The [Parasite] is a type of [Poison I], a big attack with DOT damage. But if you have [Anti Poison Ring I], it will nullify everything, so you don’t have to worry.

“What do you mean, the [Parasite] is a type of poison? What kind of conditions are your anti-poison magic tools made for!”

The genius magician, who also seems to know about magic tools, yells at me with a red face.

“Abnormal attacks that cause slip damage are usually treated as poison.”

“That’s an inappropriate condition! How can it be activated as magic? It shouldn’t have any effect!”

“I’ll ask the person in charge next time I have a chance.”

If I get a chance. That’s a good word. It’s as good as a politician’s, I don’t remember.

“We’re in the middle of a battle! And it’s Mii-sama!”

“Yes, yes, because it’s Em-chan!”

Quickly regaining their composure, Yamiyo and Tamamo lean forward and run out to Thorns Princess, not caring about the bumpy ground with thorny ivy. The jet-black and golden duo hold their weapons at the ready, closing the gap that had separated them at once.

“Oh, no! Show me that magic tool later, won’t you!”

“I’ll exchange it for the [Caliburn Leather Bracelet].”

“Ugh!”

The two were near each other and were ready to take up arms.
