Chapter 618: Let’s play with buffs

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

A hallucination?

No, this was no mere hallucination!

When Seiji focused and refreshed his mind, he noticed that the demons were now covered in white snow!

This ice and snow spread all over the demons’ bodies as the song continued. When Miyuki sung the first climax, the ice and snow now completely enveloped the demons.

“Soundless snowfall, ethereal dream, vanishing time, traveling away…”

When she finished the first stanza of her song, all the enemy monsters shattered like they were glass! They then transformed into a thick red mist that gathered itself on Miyuki’s body… no, her right hand!

She absorbed the mist… in a different way from Hisashi and Mika.

“Brilliant,” Seiji spoke after he finished watching this scene. “Killing demons with song? As expected of a national idol singer.”

“That was a special performance just for you, Harano-kun.” Miyuki had a playful tone of voice. “That actually takes up a lot of my energy. I can’t use that ability too often.”

“It gave me a deep impression. Thank you for your performance.”

“No need to be so polite with me, because I intend to have you pay me back by working really hard here.”

Seiji was rendered speechless.

The two of them proceeded forward.

When they met with demons again, Seiji unsheathed his sword and went up to fight them.

He immediately discovered that there was a barrier on his body which not only blocked the monsters’ attacks, it even counterattacked with incredible power!

This was evidently one of Miyuki’s spells. Thanks to her barrier, it became quite easy for him to deal with the demons.

After a while of battling, Seiji then noticed that almost all the demons were heading for him and acted as if they didn’t even see Miyuki. He instantly realized that this barrier also had to have a “taunt” effect.

‘I’m being used as a tank… I suppose that’s what she meant by having me work hard.’

He thought that he could use her to help him level up, but she was actually making use of him instead. Seiji felt rather subtle about this.

Still, it was fine with him. She was a national idol singer, after all. It would seem out of character for her to be the type to rush forward into battle. It was more normal for her to fight in the backline and buff her teammates.

As he thought about singer types in anime, the first anime that came to Seiji’s mind was an interstellar anime about girls who sang and danced and also piloted mechas in such a foolish way… Their songs started out in a romantic style at first, and then became hot-blooded, then magical, and by the end, their songs were becoming rather demonic…

Cough, he was getting sidetracked.

At any rate, singer types were almost always the type who buffed their allies or had special abilities. They were typically support characters, although there would also be exceptions that were warriors.

As for Miyuki Sakuraku, Seiji had no idea if her true abilities were support, mage, or warrior type. Regardless, he would be unable to defeat her at his current level.

Without even using any other abilities, just her Ethereal Snow song now would be more than enough to deal with him. He had fallen victim to the song’s hallucination properties as well. If she had targeted him with that song, he would have likely ended up just like those demons.

Her “special performance” was a direct method of showing off how powerful she was.

Thanks to the high level singer’s support, the low level warrior constantly eliminated the large monsters in his way. He started getting numb to the situation.

However, the next fearsome monster that he met helped Seiji to recognize just how weak his Spiritual Abilities were as a very new Yin Yang Master.

This monster was a centipede.

It was a giant centipede monsters which was over one hundred meters long! It had a vicious-appearing head, countless segments to its body, and endless sharp feet. Its entire body was covered in abnormal blood-red runes, giving it a strongly impactful appearance. Ordinary people would surely be scared to the point of fainting, especially if that person had trypophobia.

This centipede monster instantly started emitting a large amount of dark-green mist the moment it appeared. Right when Seiji sensed danger, a force suddenly tugged him behind Miyuki.

“Don’t come over! Let me deal with this!!” He then heard Miyuki’s shouting. Her voice was obviously quite tense.

He then immediately heard a huge sound as if two cars had crashed against each other. Various sounds then followed after that. It was evident that she was battling fiercely against the centipede.

Seiji did his best to observe the fight using [Astral Vision]. However, his low level of [Astral Vision] was unable to let him even see through the centipede’s dark-green mist.

Suddenly, a blood-red flash that had tremendous power shot at him through the mist!

[Bullet Time], activate!

Seiji did his best to dodge this danger since even his passive ability had activated.

However, the blood-red flash had a tremendous area of effect. It was impossible for him to dodge it.

[Emergency Flash], activate!!

Seiji also activated the third ability of his [Mika character reward card] which allowed him to instantly teleport a small distance in any direction he wanted. This allowed him to successfully dodge the blood-red flash.

However…

*Boom!!!*

Miyuki’s barrier and his own barrier that were both on him instantly collapsed just from the shock wave of the blood-red flash’s impact. He was sent whirling through the air a great distance. He crashed through many branches, snapping them all before crashing into a large tree.

That really hurt… Seiji fell down onto the ground and felt like he was about to spit blood despite having a toughened body thanks to the [Body-strengthening technique].

He received so much damage just from being on the outer edge of the shock wave’s impact.

If he had taken a direct hit… he didn’t dare to imagine.

This centipede was far too powerful. It was on another level entirely from all the other Inner World spiritual creatures he had ever met before! The others could all be termed as garbage in front of this one.

Perhaps there also needed to be a level system for the spiritual creatures, and categories such as wolf, tiger, demon type monsters, and so on.

Seiji thought about such things as he crawled up and watched the battle from a great distance.

He wanted to not get anywhere close to that battle. However…

Other demon-type monsters started approaching him from the forest. Seiji could only sigh.

It wasn’t that easy to soak up experience in a high level dungeon after all.

The battling continued for quite a while.

Seiji constantly moved around the forest and focused purely on defense over offense. He did his best to prevent himself from becoming completely surrounded.

Even so, he was under great pressure. The demons were many and they were all strong.

Several times, Seiji kept wanting to use his system’s items.

If he used some items, he would have a much easier time. However, he finally overcame the urge to do so. He decided instead to treat this as a rare opportunity to improve his combat experience.

As he ran around and fought the demons, he also paid attention to the main battle taking place far away from him.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to see anything at all due to the constantly present dark-green mist. He could only hear continuous sounds of fighting and see streaks of light shooting out.

Would this battle take up to an hour or more?

Just as Seiji resolved himself for a long battle of attrition, a sudden ear-piercing screech ran out. It was apparently from the centipede monster.

Seiji turned around, only to see that there was an explosive silver-white light that dispelled the dark-green mist.

An almost liquid-like thick blood-red mist that was evidently from the centipede monster was flying towards the dog head mask girl’s hand.

The high level player had finally defeated the boss… Seiji dodged all the remaining demons’ attacks and ran towards her.

“Are you alright, Sakuraku-san?”

“I’m fine. How about you?” Miyuki looked at him.

“As you can see, not doing so well.” Seiji smiled wryly as he pointed at the large number of demons chasing after him. “Could I trouble you to help me out?”

Miyuki raised her hand and refreshed her barrier on him.

Seiji then turned around to face the demons and happily raised his sword.

Slice, slice, slice, slice, slice, slice!

All the demons were taken care of!

“I apologize for having made you wait so long,” Miyuki told him.

“It’s fine as long as you’re alright, Sakuraku-san.” Seiji smiled. “Although it was rather difficult for me to keep up, I obtained excellent experience.”

“You didn’t use the power that you used before?” Miyuki asked.

The power that he used before? Seiji figured that she was referring to [White Calamity], the ability from his [Shika character reward card] which he previously used to defeat the minotaur mask boy.

“I didn’t.” That ability had a time limit. He would only be able to use it for a short period of time.

“You intentionally held back in order to improve your overall abilities?”

“Yeah.”

“Excellent. That’s what I was hoping for, that you would keep your best abilities in reserve.” Miyuki chuckled. “Such a powerful ability shouldn’t be wasted here so early.”
