Shatei Kyokufuri Yumi-Ojisan - CH 223

Data.213 – Old Bowman, Machine Battle

“Eat this! Guided Armor Piercing Bullet!”

A part of Mannen’s shell opened up, and a small missile-like shell was fired.

“Gatling Thunder Arrow!”

The weakness of attacks that involved numerous projectiles was that each shot was fairly weak.

And so if I also shot a lot of arrows and aimed carefully, I should be able to cancel the attack…!

“No, it’s hard! This shell…!”

Well, it was a turtle’s shell, after all.. But the biggest reason was the Miracle Effect, Unison Soul.’

When your status rose significantly, your skills and charge attacks would also become stronger…!

“Garbow! Tentacle Laser!”

“Gar! Gar!”

And then part of Garbow’s armor opened up, and eight tentacle-type cannons came out and unleashed thin, red lasers at the missiles.

Tentacle Laser was the weapon charge attack of the newly equipped Octopus Cannon, and it had high piercing ability. It also had the special effect of being controllable after Garbow unleashed them.

There was no better charge attack to deal with numerous lasers coming at you!

◆ Octopus Cannon

Type: Water attribute

Attack: 100

Defense: 25

Magic Defense: 25

Weapon charge attack: Tentacle Laser

It also raised your durability a little, which was nice.

In fact, a Unison’s equipment was not always reflected in their appearance, and there were times when they only showed when a skill or charge attack was being activated.

Garbow’s weapon, ‘Manbow’ was not summoned at all times, and so it was usually stored away.

Because of this, it was more difficult to destroy a Unison’s equipment.

Well, it would be too much to have to think about their equipment, as Unisons often moved around on their own…

So I was grateful for that.

“I’m not done yet! Now it’s time for the Turtle Beam! So, Ultra Electromagnetic Turtle Spin!”

Once again, Mannen II’s shell opened up, and the sub-cannons within unleashed their beam.

There were eight sub-cannons, and they were positioned so that they could fire in every direction.

Furthermore, Mannen began to spin while unleashing bolts of lightning. And then the beams began to rotate as well!

And these weren’t the kind of beams that shot once, but they lingered.

As the turtle spinned, the beams lashed around like whips and tore down the buildings as if they were heavy.

I guess they were beam whips…!

“And here’s another whip for good measure!”

Vera’s head popped out from the top of Mannen’s shell.

It was like she was in a tank…

“Wild Tiger Whip!”

The whip that was enveloped in a giant tiger effect, began to lash around in the air and then shoot towards me!

I see. Like this, I had no idea from which direction I would be attacked.

However…!

“From a quickdraw to…Inferno In Fight Arrow!”

In the end, the timing for an attack came straight at me!

And so I quickly fired off arrows at it, changing the course of the whip.

Her attack was likely a charge attack. It was difficult to cancel those, even with a fused skill.

And so I would just change its trajectory…!

“Sh-shooting a whip, eh? You really are dexterous…”

Vera was a little stunned. Now this was my chance!

No matter how strong your Unison was, it was over if the Unison Master was defeated!

“Woah, he saw me! Good bye then!”

“What!?”

She disappeared into the Mannen II again with shocking speed…

I suppose I had to defeat the Mannen II after all.

That being said, I still haven’t found an opening to unleash Armageddon Arrow!

“I can’t focus on attacking unless it stops spinning…! Garbow. Blue Ocean Sphere!”

“Gar! Gar!”

With this enhanced mobility, I had Garbow move close to Mannen II and use high-power, close range skills to destroy the cannons!

I would still save Kurokogairu. In this battlefield filled with beams and thunder, they would be wiped out easily.

“Oh! Are you sure you want to use that? Lightning goes through water, so you are making your hitboxes bigger!”

So, she knew Garbow’s weakness and was going to envelop Mannen II in thunder…

Like this, if Garbow charged into them, they would both take damage.

No. Due to the difference in durability, Garbow might even die from it.

However, that was only if it was the old Garbow!

“Garbow. Crimson Death Roll!”

“What!? You’re still going to charge!? That is Unison abuse!”

“Not really!”

“Hmm!? What is that horn!?”

Yes, right now, the horn of a unicorn was growing from Garbow’s head!

This was the fifth and last of the new gear, Earth Unicorn Horn!

◆ Earth Unicorn Horn

Type: General purpose

Attack: 15

Defense: 15

Magic Defense: 15

Speed: 15

Weapon Skill: Mystic Lightning Rod

Mystic Lightning Rod

Reduces lightning damage by 50%. Automatic activation.

It was a way of dealing with Garbow’s weakness to lightning, so the other features were not important.

It wasn’t a weapon, or armor. It was like an accessory, but when added up, it raised your numbers by 75, which was rather impressive.

And so by equipping this, Garbow’s weakness was…not exactly overcome.

Garbow had both the water and machine attributes, and both were weak to lightning.

So even if you could reduce the damage by 50%, he was still weak against it compared to most monsters.

Especially since he had low magic defense, he could not be hit by lightning magic.

However, Mannen II dealt physical attacks.

So even if lightning was a weakness, it should be reduced to just a reasonable amount of damage…!

Right now, the spinning turtle clashed with the alligator!

They were machine-type Unisons with a lot of weapons. And so the sounds of metal hitting against metal were so loud that you wanted to cover your ears. For a few seconds, sparks flew and there were explosions.

In the end…neither took any lethal damage.

However, several of Mannen II’s cannons had been destroyed, and it could no longer unleash its beams.

Even the caterpillar parts were damaged, so its mobility should be affected.

And since both were vital for Fortress Turtles, it was probably possible to heal them with items. But it was enough to stop its movement temporarily.

“Tsk…! A cute girl is inside, so you shouldn’t be so rough… Oh, well… I’ll heal you now, Mannen II! Huh? Where did that old man go… AH!?”

“Armageddon Arrow!”

I didn’t understand how, but Vera could see what was happening outside of Mannen II.

And so, she was always able to comment on what I was doing. But due to the vicious vibrations from Garbow’s charging, she was unable to keep track of me for a moment.

And so she had not noticed that I moved in, and she missed her time to escape.

“I can’t miss at this distance. And so I’ll hit you by shooting right through your Unison!”
