Chapter 165.2. Nagaraja

“I see.”

Odin claps his hands and takes a deep breath. Magical energy emanates from his body, forming an aura that creates a powerful gust of wind around him.

[Heavenly Thunderclap]

As those words escape Odin’s mouth, magic circles instantaneously appear beneath Nagaraja’s feet and above its head. Accompanied by a tremendous roar and the crackling of lightning, a storm of thunder rages.

Nagaraja’s arms get torn off, its body blackened and riddled with holes.

“Damn it!”

[Meditation]

However, with an expression of anguish, Naga-Raja closes his eyes, and his wounds quickly heal. His torn-off arm and charred body return to their original state.

Nagaraja is back in its original form and smirks confidently, but I don’t feel discouraged this time.

I’ve discovered its weakness. It’s weak to lightning.

The way it exposes its weakness when struck by lightning is too obvious. It’s unnaturally conspicuous.

“I’ll defeat you before you can use [Meditation]!”

“Well, let’s see how it goes.”

Now, we all unleash attacks infused with lightning. Taking advantage of Naga-Raja’s vulnerability, we continue our assault, knowing that he reveals a one-turn opening.

Miu and Freya engage in close combat, exchanging blows with Nagaraja. Odin uses lightning magic, and Frigg provides support with her magic. ant-san stands firm, shielding Frigg against the relentless attacks.

Nagaraja retaliates by turning the raging blizzard into projectiles, manipulating the flying scales, swinging its claws, and slamming its tail.

The grand dance between the colossal god and the small gods swirling around it continues, leaving waves of destruction in its wake.

Amid the blizzard, the warehouses lining the warehouse district began to collapse with a roaring sound, turning into rubble.

After fighting for a while, Miu lands firmly on the ground.

“This isn’t working. We can’t defeat it.”

“I agree. We don’t have enough firepower.”

“[Meditation] is too powerful. Unlike in the game, it’s not used randomly.”

“I think it has the same idea over there.”

Nagaraja remains in the same state as when the battle started, meaning it hasn’t taken any damage. There are only some stains on its body.

On our side, we are also uninjured. The magic armor shows no signs of distortion, and our HP is full. It’s the result of slightly excessive use of recovery magic. I also used an MP recovery potion along the way, so I can still fight.

We face each other without showing signs of fatigue. Is this a stalemate?

“Well, well, endless battles are often seen among the gods. It’s good to keep fighting indefinitely, but we also need to bring it to an end, don’t we?”

“Tomorrow, we’re going for our first shrine visit of the year!”

Nagaraja asks with an amused expression, but I don’t intend to prolong this any further. Staying up too late is not a good idea.

“In that case, let us conclude this battle with my victory!”

Nagaraja combines its six arms and concentrates the magical power circulating through its body. It intends to use a powerful technique. It’s going to decide the outcome here.

As if enveloping Miu and the others, the light scales unfold.

“Grandpa!”

“Understood!”

Realizing the meaning behind Miu’s eyes, Odin switches equipment and retrieves Misturutin, raising it overhead.

[Javelin]

Odin released Mistilteinn and it hits Nagaraja with missile-like speed. A silence icon appears above Nagaraja’s body.

“Hmm? My magic has been sealed. However, it’s powerless against this technique.”

Nagaraja senses something amiss and realizes its true nature but chooses to unleash its trump card rather than healing.

With a sudden motion, it spreads its six arms wide, and Nagaraja’s body emits a radiant light, releasing a blinding flash.

“All right, this is the end.”

[Radiant Explosion]

The flash emitted from Nagaraja’s body transformed into countless beams, piercing through space and attacking Miu and the others.

Vast amounts of energy were released in the form of light beams, permeating the surroundings. The beams, moving at the speed of light, were impossible to dodge, melting the falling snow and effortlessly disintegrating the scattered debris in the area.

The beams penetrated Miu and the other’s bodies, but upon hitting the expanded light scales surrounding them. The beams get reflected.

A large grid-like structure formed, enveloping the warehouse district. The awe-inspiring yet terrifying light beams roamed within the grid, causing those inside to vanish.

As if the sun had risen in the night, intense light radiated and eventually subsided, leaving nothing in the warehouse district.

Ash began to fall instead of snow, and the world turned into a barren wasteland, dominated by silence. It seemed that only Nagaraja remained standing.

However, Miu and the others stumbled out from the accumulating piles of ash. They were covered in blood and had severe injuries. For an ordinary human, it would be fatal.

But their translucent astral bodies complemented and repaired their physical forms, ensuring their movements remained unaffected.

Nagaraja had anticipated this. It had considered the possibility of Miu and the others not dying.

That’s why it directed his fist toward the goddess in the form of a healing spell.

Those small gods seal its magic. If it has time for recovery, its enemies would also use the time to recover themselves. However, by defeating this girl, anything would be possible afterward.

That’s why it poured its strength into its six massive arms. It channeled the life force dwelling within itself as a sacrifice, infusing all its power into its final blow.

“All right, this is the end!”

Magic power gathered in its arms, causing its muscles to expand. An aura of death converged, emitting an eerie glow. The air quivered, creating mirage-like distortions.

[Great Serpent’s Six-Armed Palm]

Its six arms’ brimming with immense energy, emitted a resonating hum as they closed in on the wounded Miu.
