Chapter 190.2. Fierce Battle With The Greater Hornbear Cow!

“Haah!”

With a sharp exhalation, the sword pierces through the completely defenseless torso.

Ignoring the squishy sensation, Yamiyo firmly steps with her right foot and forcefully cuts through with the sword.

Fragments of Milk King scatter, and Yamiyo quickly jumps back, performing a backstep.

Milk King seems to understand that she’s an enemy. Its body contorts and transforms into a giant bear.

Unlike Milk Poyopoyo, this Greater Hornbear Cow, also known as the Milk King, uses the form of a realistically crafted white bear. Its fur ends in needle-like tips, and it shows sharp fangs.

With eyes locked onto Yamiyo, as if staring at its prey, Milk King opens its mouth.

“Gumooo!”

Milk Poyopoyo, or the Hornbear Cow. If I consider it a Milk Cow, emits a roar akin to a fighting bull.

The air shivers with electricity as the Milk King swings its thick, log-like arms and extends its claws like swords.

[White Bear Paw]

Mana gathers in its arm as it unleashes a strike capable of cutting through rocks.

“It missed!”

Yamiyo leans back, narrowly dodging the strike. There’s a slight sound as her bangs graze past, but she remains unfazed.

“Kon Kon Magic~!”

Tamamo, fluttering her kimono sleeves and opening her fan, gracefully maneuvers and activates her magic from the side.

[Leaf Seal]

Tamamo generated tsunami-like leaves from her magic circle-drawn fan, attacking Milk King.

Drowned under the tsunami of leaves, the struggling Milk King has the shadow of a girl fall upon its head.

“I’m going too!”

[Moonlight Kick]

Descending from above the Milk King, Sena performs a somersault kick. Faint traces of white light follow her trajectory as her kick lands on Milk King’s head.

“Gumo-”

Milk King releases mana from its body, dispelling the leaves created by the magic, and leaps back.

It then transforms into a horned missile, aiming for Sena.

[Holy Shield]

Narrowing her eyes, Sena swiftly directs her hand toward the approaching horn, employing defensive magic.

She materialized a pure white shield, intercepting the horn’s attack. The horn increases its force to break the holy shield. Without maintaining the shield for long, Sena quickly dispels it.

With the shield gone, the horn approaches Sena. Sena already circled the horn while the shield blocked it. She’s using the moment to rotate her body on her left foot and deliver a spinning Sobat kick.

With a solid impact, the horn is sent flying and rolls on the ground.

But it quickly returns to its original Poyopoyo form. Though it bears marks and gets chipped because of the attack, its body starts to shine brightly.

[Self-Regeneration]

Milk King swiftly returns to its original form through self-regeneration. Adventurers often give up defeating it due to this magic.

“You won’t get away with it!”

Yamiyo shouts sharply and closes on Milk King, sheathing her sword.

[Flash Assault]

With a sound reminiscent of a ringing bell, Yamiyo unleashes an Iai slash.

Flashes of light shimmer, cutting through the Milk King’s body.

White fragments danced in the sky as Yamaya sheathed her sword with a “ching” sound and descended to the ground, maintaining her focus.

“Nisshisshishi~! I found the shell of the meat!”

[Wood Leaf Clone]

Tamamo waved her fan sideways, and the falling leaves transformed into dozens of tiny fox girls.

“Kon kon Corps, seize the shells!”

“Konkon!”

The fox girls swarmed around Milk King, clinging to the partially exposed shells and trying to pull them out.

Panicked, Milk King gave up on self-regeneration and extended its remaining body like tentacles, attempting to drive away the fox girls.

“I won’t let you!”

[Rapid Strikes]

Sena channeled mana into her fists and unleashed a rapid barrage of punches. The tentacles burst like balloons upon impact, and the fox girls triumphantly retrieved the shells.

“Kyukyu~!”

The fox girls wagged their tails proudly, holding the shells and stepping back.

“Now, it’s time for the finishing blow!”

[Darkness Sword 1st Style, Giant Skeleton Swords]

Unsheathing her sword, Yamiyo cast a shadow over the sky. Bones gathered around the blade, transforming it into a massive bone sword.

“Taaaah!”

Yamiyo swung down the colossal sword, flattening Milk King with a resounding cry.

Observing the flattened Milk King, Yamiyo wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“Thank you for the support, Tamamo-san. Sena-san, you’re quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat.”

“It’s pointless if we can’t obtain the shells even after defeating them.”

“Everyone, you’re amazing! Haha, I was surprised.”

The three of them chatted amicably, but Yamiyo tilted her head in confusion.

“What about Mii-sama?”

“Huh? Didn’t she fight with Zirconia Poyopoyo?”

Looking around, Yamiyo noticed the dumbfounded Kongou-neesan and called out to her.

“Where is Mii-sama?”

“Ah~ She was fighting that Poyopoyo, but it fused and escaped.”

“Ah, just a tough monster then. It got away?”

“It escaped… But she says, “I can’t stay like this! I’ll chase after it!”. Young lady was chasing it with unbelievable speed!”

“Eh?”

Pointing in the direction of the sandstorm, Kongou-neesan explained Mii-chan had chased after a Zirconia Poyopoyo.

“Wait, wait~! Wait!”

They could hear a voice as cute as a chick from within the sandstorm.

It seemed that Mii-chan had gotten caught up in a game of tag, and Yamiyo and the others exchanged glances.

Mii-chan was currently playing a game of chase.
