I Played the Role of a Hated Hero, but for Some Reason, I’m Loved by the Last Boss and Living With Her! - Chapter 33
“Husband… please be safe…”
I was carried by the【 Deus Maquina 】that the husband had summoned, and I gazed at the back of my beloved man who was moving away.
I know that I am helpless and that it is meaningless for me to stay in that place, even if I don’t want to.
However, I still wished to be with my husband if I could.
Just the thought of something happening to the husband without me seeing it is enough to break my heart.
However, if my husband is defeated by the Titans and loses his life, then I will also lose my life.
Husband and I are one and the same.
In other words, the presence of my body will let me know that my husband is safe.
However, I still cannot help but worry.
My beloved one may be hurt, and his face may be contorted in pain. Why should I remain unconcerned, even if my own body is unchanged?
This is the first time in all my years of living that I have felt this way.
Ares, the man who made me feel this way.
He seems to have forgotten the words we exchanged back then, but he is still concerned about my safety and is trying to keep me away from the battlefield.
How comforting and thoughtful of you.
But still, I can’t help thinking.
“Aah… my helplessness now makes me resentful.”
The distance between me and my husband has already become quite large.
But I can hear it. The melody of a fierce battle is so far…
“Husband… husband…”
There are no weapons, and he must be fighting with only his limbs and magic.
How good of a fight can he really put up against a Titan in its prime?
No, no. The only thing I have to think about is my husband’s victory.
It would be disrespectful to husband to be so naive as to give him a good fight.
Hence, I believe… that husband,
Victory…
◆◇◆◇◆
『Crush! ―――『 Rock Blast 』! 』
Titans hit me with earth magic.
A huge rock was approaching. The size of the rock is about two meters by eye measurement.
If it hits me directly, it’s going to be fatal…!
“Hah!”
I deployed【 Magic Barrier 】to block the boulder from coming at me.
Then Titan blurted out an irritated voice.
『 Now that’s a magical barrier, just like Demiurge… which means that the【 Deus Maquina 】that I mentioned earlier was also… this little boy! Why can you use Demiurge power?! 』
“Ha! You’ll have to figure that out for yourself, big guy!”
『 You’re not going to answer… well, it’s fine. Either way, you can’t beat me at that! 』
The magic barrier I put up, like the Demise Emperor, was originally Demiurge power.
It is an excellent shield that prevented a blow of extreme magic in the battle against Phoenix a few days ago.
But this magic barrier…
『 That barrier may prevent magic, but it’s still… Huraaa!! 』
“―――?!”
Titan brought out his fist from his huge body.
The magic barrier in front of me shattered with a sound.
Before the fist could reach my body, I kicked the ground and retreated backward.
That’s right. This magic barrier boasts an impenetrable defense against magic, but it is ineffective against physical attacks.
“Damn it, you stupid idiot!”
No matter how vulnerable the magic barrier is to physical attacks, I didn’t expect it to be destroyed by a single blow.
It is a simple fact that the size of the body is directly related to the strength of the power.
Titan’s body is so huge that you can look up to it.
The disadvantage of size is inevitable.
He doesn’t even have a decent weapon in his hand at the moment.
The higher the magic, the longer it takes to activate, and the more gaps it creates.
It doesn’t matter how many small spells you cast in small bursts, they will have little effect.
In short, I don’t have any effective moves right now.
I can’t just use self-destruct magic as I did with Demiurge.
『 Come back safely 』, Demiurge told me, and even if she didn’t, if I died, Demiurgos would die too.
“Ah, crap. I’m sick of all the restrictions…!”
I create a fireball in my palm and shoot it at Titan.
『 Ha! Small, small! 』
However, Titans only lightly strokes his hand to put out the fire.
This is not enough of a restraint.
I guess we’ll just have to give up on the magic attack on this one.
So there’s only one way to fight this.
―――I’m going for the multi!
『 Nuu?! 』
As I run, I activate several elementary magic.
Fireball, water bullet, stone crush, wind blade, ice spear, and lightning strike, all of which can be activated by anyone with a magic class, continue to be fired at Titan.
Of course, I don’t think that these attacks will damage Titan.
My goal is to provoke Titan.
『 Chi! You’re being annoying, kid! 』
The magic dissipated with a swing of his arm, and now he thrust his fist toward me.
You’re a simpleton!
I circulate mana through my body to strengthen my body.
In the nick of time, I succeeded in evading the fist that was about to crush me.
I jumped onto Titan’s arm, which had slammed into the ground, and ran upwards at once.
『 ―――?! You little bug! 』
Titan’s brow wrinkles and he shouts in displeasure as I climb up his body through his arms.
I kicked him in the arm and leaped to his face.
He then twisted his body in the air, spun his mana-enhanced leg around, and gave a kick that sent him spinning.
“Heyaa!!”
『 Gufu?! 』
After taking my foot in the cheek, Titan took a big step and stumbled.
He stumbled a little, but was able to use his thick legs to regroup and avoid falling.
But my attack is far from over!
『 ―――?! 』
I used my wind magic to approach Titan, who was about to lose his posture.
In the few seconds it takes to fall to the ground, he now uses a dive attack to sink the sole of his foot into the giant’s kneecap.
『 Kuu?! 』
This time, the Titan’s body bent over, and this time it fell over with a flourish.
“Whoo! First of all, I win!”
In front of Titian, who has fallen on his back on the ground, I clench my fists in front of my chest.
I had learned the class【 Master Monk 】from the expert in fighting tactics,『 Kensei 』, on a trip two years ago.
It’s a class that not only excels in bare-handed combat but also can enhance natural healing through mana.
The reason why I was able to suppress my opponent with relative ease in the hand-to-hand combat with Phoenix a few days ago was largely due to this class.
There is a limit to how much mana can be used to strengthen the body, and if you break through that limit, there is a risk that your body will destroy itself.
However, with Master Monk’s enhanced natural healing power, this limit can be forcibly broken through.
Hence, I was able to strengthen my body to the point where I could beat that huge body with my bare hands.
『 Ugh! No human being is going to put dirt on these Titans! I won’t allow it… I WON’T ALLOW IT, KID! 』
The earth shook, and Titans stood up in a rage.
Mana rises from his body like steam, distorting the surrounding scenery.
『 I am a Titan of the Titans…! There is no way that I would submit myself to humans! 』
The roar that comes from his huge body causes the air to rush.
I felt the impact of the air mass hitting my body as well.
『 Oh… you will not die easily… you will die a gruesome death, torn limb from limb and gutted! Come!【 Stone Golem 】! 』
Immediately after Titan gave the order, the ground around began to rise and gradually take on the shape of a person.
“Wha?!”
In less than ten seconds, dozens of golems appeared around me.
They looked like rocks forcibly combined into the shape of a person.
They were probably two meters tall by the top of their heads.
The Adventurer’s Guild has designated them as a B-rank danger demon.
『 Hahahaha! Humans, can you really take on this many golems and me… at the same time? 』
“Tsk…”
I clicked my tongue and glared at Titan and Stone Golems.
This guy has turned out to be more troublesome than I thought.
