Chapter 164.1. The Snake God Is Strong

Miu and the others found themselves in a battle against Nagaraja in its final form. Somehow, it seems like it’s another god, just like us.

It was summoned from another world.

There are many things that pique our curiosity, but let’s leave it to Grandpa Odin to worry about.

For now, we have to focus on the battle.

[Protection V]

A grid-like light barrier enveloped Freyja’s body, increasing her defense by 200%.

“Thank you.”

Miu thanks calmly, holding up her round shield, the Water Mirror, and using her skill.

[Sacred Toughness]

Pure white particles appeared around Miu’s body, sparkling and shining.

Her defense was further increased by 200%.

“Alright, this is all I got. Come forth, Imperial Ant!”

With a small jump, a magic circle appeared in the air, and the usual ant-san appeared before Miu and the others.

I wanted the ant to protect the rear guard, as Freyja would likely charge at Nagaraja’s accessories.

“I understand,” the ant nodded vigorously.

It seemed motivated and ready. That’s good, that’s good.

“Well then, are we ready?”

“Okay!”

To Nagaraja, who is showing a lot of room, it holds up its weapon as it answers.

Miu and Nagaraja are facing each other. Just then, a bird made of lightning approached, as if it had a body made of thunder.

“Well, well, it seems the battle has begun,” ”

Nagaraja said calmly without losing composure. It extended one of its right arms towards the lightning bird.

[Water Burial]

Scattering purple lightning, the thunderbird that was approaching Nagaraja was enveloped in a water sphere and exploded. Odin’s magic was destroyed.

“Kaan! The battle begins!”

Miu exclaimed as the explosion of the thunderbird filled the surroundings with steam. She leaned forward and charged.

Time seemed to slow down, entering a world of high speed. Miu attempted to get as close as possible to Nagaraja, approaching almost like teleportation, but the enemy could see them.

“So you can see my high-speed movement.”

Moving through the [Ground Shrink] technique should make it difficult for the enemy to perceive. However, Nagaraja looked at her and bent its tail like a spring, jumping backward.

Nagaraja rushed towards the adjacent warehouse, destroying it as it moved to create distance.

It may not match Miu’s speed, but it’s quite fast. Well done, you snake.

As Nagaraja continued to create distance, Miu tried to catch up by increasing her pace. Then, a one-eyed grandpa appeared as a hologram.

[Young lady, he’s likely nullifying the [God Armor].]

[Nullifying invincible armor?]

[Yes. I noticed a change in atmosphere, so I tested it using the thunderbird.]

Odin squinted his one eye and spoke with an amused smile. But why would he do something that puts him at a disadvantage?

[Probably because it disliked the drawback of the [God Armor], which renders other magic unusable. I observed it, and Nagaraja couldn’t use any decent magic. The [God Armor], which envelops the body at a cellular level, obstructed the use of diverse magic. I presume.]

[Well, that means we can attack each other without hesitation. Quite an audacious enemy, I must say.]

[Seems like an intelligent enemy too!]

Freya and Frigg join the conversation with joyful smiles. It’s great to see them enjoying themselves. Seriously, though.

While destroying multiple warehouses, Nagaraja, who has gained sufficient distance, turns towards us.

[Radiant Scales]

Part of Nagaraja’s scales begins to shine and detach from its body, flying towards us like bullets in the sky.

[Be careful, Mii-tan. Those scales…]

[I know. They come with the [God Armor] enhancement, right?]

Without heeding Freya’s warning, Mii raises her weapons and confronts the countless scales. She didn’t even consider the indestructible scales.

However, instead of slowing down or stopping her pace, I smile mischievously and swing her dual blades toward the approaching scales.

[Moonlight Slash]

Gentle, pure white light passes through the scales like a beam, splitting them into halves and causing them to fall to the ground.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch!”

Despite the cute, bird-like voice, her sword strikes are sharp and fast. Numerous scales attempt to cut Miu into pieces, but she calmly destroys them, starting with the most threatening ones.

Scales approaching her feet lightly flutter away. As I twist my body, the scales pass by me with a gust of wind.

Miu deflected the scales targeting her arms with spiral movements. She destroyed any scales she couldn’t evade with martial arts.

If even one of them hits her, it’s certain to cause significant damage.

“This is getting fun!”

This snake is a formidable enemy. And it feels different from before, my instincts tell me.

“Everyone seems to be battle-crazy, and it’s troublesome.”

Purposefully passing by Miu, Frigg aims her gun at the scales attempting to surround her from behind and shoots them down with unparalleled accuracy.

“I’ll take the first attack.”

[Judgment Blade]

Freya, who remained stationary, infuses magic power into her sword and swings it horizontally, intending to cleave Nagaraja. A massive sword of light aims to cut through Nagaraja.

“Well, well, that looks painful.”

Nagaraja gathers scales in its hand and transforms them into a sword, intercepting Freya’s sword. Particles of light dance in the surroundings, and shockwaves turn into waves of force.

However, by intercepting the attack, Nagaraja’s movements are slightly slowed.

[Ground Shrink]

Using [Ground Shrink] once again, which has expired, Miu swiftly enters Nagaraja’s attack’s range. Although she receives a cut from the remaining scales due to her forced charge, it’s an opportunity. There’s no need to worry.
