Chapter 221.1 - The Result of Field Exercise
After that, we kept dispatching the suicide squad for almost one week before deciding to end the field exercise. I actually wanted to try a bit longer, unfortunately we were running out of spare bodies for Rem.
All right then everyone, thank you for your participation in the field exercise~
After the field exercise ended without anyone dying, we returned to the School Tower and held a class meeting.
Everyone replied lifelessly when I called out their name. It seems they were really exhausted. I mean we had been fighting every day this week.
We managed to fight Yamata no Orochis head and at least got used to its pattern.
At least huh.
It ain't that simple, Momokawa~
Those guys are seriously bad news.
Following Class Rep's lifeless remark were Ueda and Nonomiya-san. The other vanguard was also having the same look on their faces.
Your so-called second phase, three heads are the limit.
Said Souma-kun succinctly.
Even after the vanguard went all out, the second phase was their limit. Upon entering the third phase, the number of the heads would increase to five, and their breath attack would be unlocked, making it even harder to cope with them.
Well, I did see everyone running desperately toward the shelter from the breath attack when I was in the middle of scouting the path. Turns out that digging a trench was the right choice. It saved our vanguard's as*es a number of times when they needed protection from breath attacks.
What about your side, Momokawa-kun?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that resembled a cave.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the gargoyles became more and more troublesome the closer we were to the center, not to mention that there was the gargoyle's giant variant And though no one called for it, Yamata no Orochis head was instantly moving its target to me.
The mountain is tough. It's already troublesome enough to fight that many gargoyles, and yet, the head itself will set me as its target once I enter the mountain.
Yup, the Yamata no Orochi has become more vigilant as we get closer to its main body.
In the first place, its game-like behavior in which there was only one head first, followed by three, then five plus breaths was problematic by itself. I mean, since it's a living creature, why not take out all eight heads at once?
We cannot break through from the mountain.
Said Class Rep dispiritedly.
Though she already knew that it was pretty much impossible, she couldn't help but feel really dejected when having to acknowledge it in reality.
There might be a low chance of that, however, we had yet to scour the entire mountain. We had to prepare for the next field exercise and scouting again.
How's the result of your analysis, Takanashi-san?
I actually wanted to say it myself, but since I knew that bit*h wouldn't say anything if I werent the one asking, I left that job to Souma-kun. This was the result of my casual arrangement.
U~hm, let's see After looking at it from up close, I know the detailed position of its real body.
Where's the exact location?
I asked while drawing the entire mountain and Yamata no Orochi on the blackboard.
Right in the center of its body. I think it's right below the huge stone pillar on top of the mountain.
Never mind, let's just take it as a nice change of pace.
I arranged the 18 pieces that represented us around the Yamata no Orochi figurine. The pieces were made as freebies though. I modeled ourselves as chess pieces. The size of the pieces varied depending on the individual strength.
It's not the kind of opponent that we can fight head-on. And we can't find a breakthrough into the mountain either
We couldn't reach our enemys weakness even if we gathered our war potential at one point. To reach our target, we had to fight that giant monster and pierce through its tough shell along with the bedrock formation of the rocky mountain. Perhaps not even Souma-kuns sword of light could pierce through that. Well, his power might be awakened in a pinch.
Even if his attack managed to shave the bedrock, it wouldn't pierce the shell.
A thick shell protected Yamata no Orochi. Well, there was no way the shell of such a giant creature would be as thin as paper.
Its thickness might range from a few meters to dozens of meters.
I looked at the huge, bluish-white scale on the palm of my hand in a sour mood.
This scale was one of the materials we secured from the severed Orochi heads by using Eternity.
In the end, all that was left from those huge, severed heads were a few pieces of this scale preserved with Eternity. I mean, this showed just how much that fella's body depended on magical power.
However, the remaining Yamata no Orochi material was really tough. It was comparable to the toughness of a salamander's and Thunder T-rex's scale. It was excellent material, but the amount wasn't worth the effort that everyone put together.
In addition, according to Takanashi's analysis, the toughness of the main body was comparable to its scale.
The more I know about that monster, the harder it seems to defeat it.
Well, it might not be as tough as its head. Currently, only our three aces can bisect Yamata no Orochi with ease.
Perhaps we ought to find the weakest spot of its she No, how about finding the part that isn't protected by shell instead?
But does that monster really have such a convenient weak point? If it did, Takanashi should've found it much earlier.
Maybe we can smash this shell with dynamite.
Simple brute force is the best. The value of Yamata no Orochis armor couldn't be compared to the one in the movies. In short, maybe not even a barrage of missiles could leave a scratch on its shell.
Dammit, at least give us a hint as to whether it's weak against ice or fire.
Only shitty games would include useless elements such as invincible armor. At this rate, we had no choice but to strengthen our side to adapt our tactic against Orochi.
It might even have a short invincible mode or a gimmick such as the ability to melt itself the moment it receives concentrated fi
Wait a minute Can I melt this?
