Chapter 165.1. Nagaraja

“Well done, little god.”

With a clattering sound, Nagaraja emerges joyfully from the rubble, crawling out. His body shows slight damage from the “Stone Fire,” with scales peeling off and blood flowing.

[Meditation]

Once fully revealed, Nagaraja closes its eyes. The wounds quickly heal, and it returns to its original form.

“So, you can heal yourself.”

“It seems to be a Destruction God type. Let’s keep attacking until it can’t heal anymore.”

“Well, did you think you were the only one who could heal?”

Sighing at Nagaraja’s recovered state, Freya calmly exhales and steps forward. It turns out that Freya is quite the brute.

Nagaraja’s body wriggles with a shivering motion, its eyes shining ominously.

I quickly shade my eyes and cast a spell.

[Abyssal Eyes]

[Mind Cure]

I send healing magic toward Odin, who is swaying gently. Ant-san rolls over, seemingly fine, while Freya and Frigg show no signs of distress.

“Sleep magic won’t work on me!”

Seeing Ali-san sleeping peacefully, understanding the effect, I snort in amusement. Frigg gently kicks ant-san to wake him up.

“Oh, you read that, huh?”

The eyes from earlier were a magic that puts enemies into a deep sleep. It doesn’t work on Miu with my Trickster’s Mask and Freya, who naturally has high resistance to status ailments.

I expected it to affect Odin and Frigg, but it seems Frigg endured it.

“Hmm… Self-regeneration and the ability to use status ailments. Quite a versatile god.”

Without showing any sign of drowsiness, Odin lowers his stance, holding Gungnir.

It’s certainly strong. After all, It’s a Demon God. Or maybe it’s just that our levels are too low.

However, there is a way to deal with this. We were able to defeat these types of enemies in the game.

“The gaming instinct doesn’t disappear, huh, Miss?”

“Of course not!”

Smiling mischievously at Frigg’s teasing words, Miu sends her thoughts to each god. It’s time to start the next strategy.

“Round 3!”

“Well, which side will the scales tip to next?”

With a thud, I kick the ground and charge toward Nagaraja. My senses sharpen, observing the enemy’s movements.

“First, this!”

[Water Burial]

Water is generated around Miu, forming a water sphere, and attempting to engulf her. It’s a one-hit kill technique that defeated Odin’s thunderbird.

[Resist Death]

Frig immediately counters with a defensive spell. Miu gets hit by [Water Burial], and the water sphere bursts and disappears like a balloon.

“Instant death spells are just a waste!”

[Phantom Step]

Performing intricate steps and swaying her body, Miu leaves afterimages behind her. While [Ground Shrink] overwrites her speed, the evasion effect remains.

With thunderous noise, claws imbued with a power greater than an electric pole are swung down towards Miu, who approaches.

[Ground Shrink]

However, Miu steps firmly on the floor, seemingly teleporting and moving away. This time, the afterimages remain after she runs.

She sidesteps and evades a sword that creates an explosion and forms a crater. With her gray hair fluttering in the gust caused by the sword, she skillfully dodges the claws that come one after another.

“Hmmaah!”

Instead of getting close to Nagaraja, Miu runs around the surroundings, kicking the air and moving freely. Multiple images of Miu appear, causing Nagaraja to furrow its brow slightly and weaken the momentum of its swinging claws.

“Behold the power of Grand Magic.”

[Absolute Zero]

With his one eye gleaming, Odin shields his hand and releases high-level ice magic. The surrounding temperature drops as freezing waves travel toward Nagaraja.

The absolute zero wave aims to freeze everything in its path and turn Nagaraja into an ice sculpture.

“Well. Well?”

[Cross Engage]

It’s crossing its arms, and a ring-shaped shield appears in front of Nagaraja, intercepting the absolute zero wave. The air freezes, transforming airborne moisture into ice like diamonds, but the magic can’t penetrate its shield.

“Next.”

Freya raises her sword and soars high in the sky. She aims at the gap between Nagaraja, who is tossed by Miu, and intercepting Odin’s magic.

[Dragon King Strike]

Enveloping her sword with the aura of the Dragon King, she unleashes a torrent of intense light in the form of a sword strike.

“Well, well.”

Nagaraja withdraws its remaining arm and blocks with its claws. However, its body sinks under the force, shattering the floor.

“This is our chance!”

“Yes.”

[Stonefire]

[Thunderbolt]

Miu throws shurikens at the immobilized Nagaraja while Frigg simultaneously fires her gun.

In an instant, the shurikens pierce Nagaraja’s body, and the energy contained within explodes, destroying its body.

When Freya’s bullets, infused with lightning, hit their mark, purple electricity surged through Nagaraja’s body, freezing its movements.

“There’s an opening.”

Freya, whose [Dragon King Strike] was blocked, readied her sword and kicked off the air, approaching Nagaraja. With a swift slicing sound, she performed a diagonal slash, cutting through the massive body.

“Hah!”

She quickly retracted her sword, lifted it from below, and returned with a horizontal sweep, delivering a series of consecutive strikes. The wounds inflicted by the sword on Nagaraja’s body were much longer than expected, causing blood to gush like a geyser.

“I’ll take that!”

[Wind Blade]

Seizing the opportunity, I closed the distance instantly, wielding two swords and unleashing a flurry of attacks.

With magical energy coursing through my petite body, countless traces of light were left behind as I carved through Nagaraja.
