Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Chapter 300 – I’ll Definitely Protect You

“【Breakthrough】”

“What? That light… it’s like——”

“Let’s go, 【Great Demon Goose Step】!”

“…… Nuh, fast!”

Power, speed, skill, tactics.

I’ll challenge you with everything I’ve got.

I’ll spare no effort.

“Great General! Well, first of all, we——”

“Stand back, everyone!”

The Amazonesses tried to stand in front of me as I started running.

But before they could make a move, Norja took control.

“…… even if you all ganged up on him, you wouldn’t stand a chance…”

“Huh?”

“…… Oh My Gosh…… Lal, seriously, what kinda guy did you bring here? The ‘color’ is not like the Great Demon King’s, but… no way it’s him…”

Don’t allow any interruptions.

Norja wanted to face me herself.

“Uoooooooh, 【Great Demon Sonic Flicker】!”

“Oho ♡.”

“Uraaaaaaaaaah!”

A barrage! Consecutive hits! Hit after hit after hit after hit!

But, as expected of Norja. She manipulated her big fluffy tail freely and shot down all the shockwaves I threw at her.

She saw through it all.

『It may be a flicker, however tis still a mere left jab. Do not reveal too much. For now, tis enough to suppress her.』

「Osu.」

『Norja’s nine tails can be whips, gusts of wind, sharp blades, huge blunt weapons, tornadoes, or impregnable shields. First, get accustomed to the movements, surface area, and mass of the tails.』

Of course, I didn’t expect the flickers alone to do any damage.

It’s just preparation. The opponent is a Six Supremacy.

It’s all for the sake of delivering my greatest and strongest blow.

“You’re a bit cocky, and like, so annoying!”

And a counterattack from Norja.

Perhaps sensing that it would be too much effort just to block my flickers, she swung one of her tails down at me.

I guess she’s planning to turn the tip into a sharp blade and stab me, but…

“You won’t hit me.”

I won’t be hit by such a big swing. I backstep and…

“Nihahaha, gotcha ♪.”

And right after I backstep, another tail came around behind me and tried to wrap me up.

Of course, I already knew that.

“【Great Demon Cross Step】”

“Oh?”

Just before it grabbed me from behind, I dodged it by stepping to the left.

Then, seeing that the use of two tails to attack made her defense slightly thinner, I aimed at Norja’s face…

“【Great Demon Sonic Smash】!!”

I unleashed an upper-like shockwave diagonally from below.

I’m sure it won’t hit her, though.

“…… Hou~.”

Sure enough, a third tail acted as a shield against my shockwave right in front of Norja’s eyes.

I see.

I had to go through six more tails before I could hit her.

It’s a tedious task.

On the other hand…

“I see… so that’s what it is… aside from this Hunter boy… there’s, like, a strong guy that even the Demon King Army doesn’t know about…. with this, I get why Lal and the others couldn’t handle this guy.”

It seemed that the other party also saw my condition and somewhat grasped my ability.

“What, that mask… no, I suppose it’s the man I brought with me… but still…”

“Oh, no… I mean, there are people who can go toe to toe with the General…besides the Seven Heroes…”

“Hey, hey~, the General isn’t serious yet, you know.”

“That’s right. Just watch, he will soon be ravished by the Great General.”

The Amazonesses seemed to be a little surprised about me.

And in order to avoid any collateral damage, they were a bit far away.

But they don’t seem to doubt what will happen to their boss at this level.

Naturally, Norja’s power was still way off.

“Now… and how are you able to, like, use that glowing power… I’m even more curious. Let’s strip you naked …… and expose you in more ways than one!!”

Here she comes! This time…… five at once!

One tail restrained Slayer, three tails defended, and the remaining five attacked me.

As if they were filling in all directions, leaving no escape…

『There is a way out. Tis hard to see, and a difficult route to take, but… child, not as you are now!』

Yes, the technique that I’ve been honing ever since I came to this era.

“【Magical Radar】!”

In the forest, in the fight with Koujiro, and on the ship … the threat looming toward me, and the slightest opening in that threat, now I won’t miss it!

“Here!!”

“Wh… at!?”

I see a Shining Road through the looming threat.

Following that path, I dodged the five tails attacking at the same time as I moved forward.

I was able to close the distance with Norja in one fell swoop.

At the foot of her gigantic figure.

“Here I go, 【Great Demon–“

“No ya don’t!”

Now that I had entered her bosom, the remaining three tails naturally blocked Norja’s face and other vital points to protect them.

But I wasn’t aiming there yet.

First……

“【Great Demon Right Straight】!”

“…… Oh…”

I hit the midsection of the tail that was holding Slayer.

Maybe that was the only thing Norja didn’t expect, but her defense was weak, and the impact caused her to release Slayer.

“Tou!”

“Oh…”

Then, I caught the falling Slayer and opened the distance with Norja.

First, Slayer must be evacuated to a safe zone.

Otherwise, I can’t help but worry about my flickers in the upcoming battle.

“Are you hurt? Boy?”

“Eh, ah… I, I’m okay…”

“Right. It’s all right, because I’m here now.”

I carried Slayer in my arms to a secluded spot and lowered him to the ground.

“Oh, um, you’re…”

“Leave the rest to me. With my pride, I will definitely protect you. Please watch over me from here! Later then!”

『Cease, you …… have taken this too far…』

Slayer looked a little dazed, but I’m relieved that he doesn’t appear to be injured. Well, a little longer and he would have been defiled.

“What… so cool… R, Ragaan-Man….. who the hell are you!?”

『Uuurgh!? He seriously had not realized your true identity… no, he is surprisingly a simpleton, this fellow…』

I thought he was a scruffy brat, but he’s surprisingly pure and pleasant, that Slayer.

And, as always, Tre’ainar’s sense was off point, which is a problem, but from here on, we have to fight together without any cracks, so let’s not butt heads over this.

“Nihahaha… you’re good… neat…… it’s been, like, so long! Oh you! I haven’t gotten wet from a fight in a long time! I’ll keep you! I’ll keep you! I will hunt you and keep yoooouu ♡.”

And in response to this situation, Norja was neither angry nor surprised, just smiling happily.

That smile was sharper and more sinister than when she tried to play around with Slayer.

『Fuh~, well, regardless of your taste… it begins here, child. Finally, that one will wield her power… and her fighting style… which she calls——』

“Check it out! You should be honored! A fighting style I only show those I really wanna fight――――――”

Until now, she had only moved her tail, but now the muscles of Norja’s legs and even her whole body were tense, and she looked intimidating, like a wild beast on the hunt.

If I hadn’t met Vasalar, Jamdi’el, and Paripi, I might have lost my composure to this.

『”Fūrinkazan!!”』 ¹

[S1]The Word used here, “風林火山”, directly translates to “Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain”, as an idiom means “as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as daring as fire, and immovable as the mountain”. There isn’t a single English word or phrase that captures its entire essence. It’s a four-character idiom from Chinese culture that represents different natural elements and qualities, often used to convey a comprehensive sense of strategy, readiness, and adaptability. The closest English phrase might be “Adaptability in Changing Circumstances” or “Be Prepared for Anything.” However, these translations still don’t fully encapsulate the cultural and historical connotations of the original idiom.
