The Event Boss Wins

“Hmph… I like hearing that!” (Despina)

“!?” (Magical Beast)

Despina sneered, and in the next moment, she leapt onto the magical beast’s shoulder and stabbed her sword into a gap in its armor.

“Gwooooo… it hurts… it hurts so much…” (Magical Beast)

The magical beast screamed and, unable to bear it, shook Despina off. With too much force, it even knocked off the helmet it had been wearing.

“!!?” (Spectators)

The spectators all gasped at once when they saw the magical beast’s exposed true face. That was only natural, since what appeared was not a human, but a magical beast. Of course, I was not surprised because I already knew from the start that it was a magical beast. Still, in another sense, I was definitely surprised. That was because…

“…I’ve never seen that kind of magical beast even once in Enhaz.” (Harold)

Cas was the same, but every magical beast encountered since reincarnating into this world had appeared in Engage Hazard. And yet, of all places, why did we encounter a magical beast here in the Colosseum, where there should only be humans? If Themis were here, she would definitely be questioning this.

“Gwoooo… I absolutely will not forgive you!!!” (Magical Beast)

“Hmph, I don’t care.” (Despina)

The magical beast, driven by anger, swung its war hammer wildly. Despina dodged it effortlessly… or rather, that was not quite right. She seemed to have less composure than expected. But that magical beast, which fought Despina, the fastest event boss in Enhaz, on equal terms or better… that means it has at least the strength of an event boss.

Where on earth did the humans of the Colosseum bring such a creature from?

“Gwoooooooo!!!” (Magical Beast)

The magical beast swung its war hammer down repeatedly like playing whack-a-mole. Despina dodged, dodged, and dodged.

“Does that magical beast have endless stamina?” (Harold)

Even though it has been wasting attacks since the match began, there’s no sign of slowing down. If this becomes a long fight, Despina’s stamina will be depleted first, and eventually she will become the war hammer’s prey…

“Haha, that’s not going to happen.” (Harold)

She is an event boss from Engage Hazard. No matter how many turns pass, her attacks per turn never change. In other words, she also boasts unmatched stamina. So, surely the magical beast will be the first to give in.

“Take this! Take this! Behave yourself!” (Magical Beast)

“If you want to stop me, then try to hit me with that proud hammer of yours.” (Despina)

“What!!!” (Magical Beast)

Provoked by Despina, the enraged magical beast spun like a spinning top, using the war hammer’s centrifugal force.

“Gufu, gufu, I’m going to mash you up like this.” (Magical Beast)

The rapidly spinning magical beast gradually cornered Despina toward the edge of the arena.
If this keeps up, she will have her side crushed. However…

“You think I would take an attack like that?” (Despina)

“!?” (Magical Beast)

Despina leapt toward the wall behind her, and she ran vertically up it. The magical beast, not expecting such an escape method, was stunned and slowed the hammer’s rotation. Little did it know, this would lead to its defeat.

“You got careless.” (Despina)

“Ah!? Agaga!!!” (Magical Beast)

Despina made a single leap and jumped onto the center of the rotation, the magical beast. She stabbed her sword into the gap between the armor plates on its shoulders, causing the beast to scream.

“Now you won’t be able to swing that hammer properly.” (Despina)

“Ah… aga…” (Magical Beast)

The rotation already stopped, and the magical beast hung its arms limply. It was probably that the tendons were cut when Despina stabbed her sword into its shoulder earlier.

“I hope that proud armor of yours will protect you. If not, you will just be cut into pieces.” (Despina)

“Ah… ah, ah…” (Magical Beast)

Despina grinned slyly, while the magical beast’s face twisted in terror as it retreated step by step. The outcome was already decided.

“Then, do your best to endure this. Hexagram Lightning.” (Despina)

The moment she said that, streaks of light ran across the arena. They traced a hexagram.

“Gya!? Aghi!? Gubo!?” (Magical Beast)

Every time Despina passed through, the magical beast screamed. However, the light moved so fast that the screams lagged behind her attacks.

That is Despina’s signature lightning-element skill as an event boss, Hexagram Lightning. When the hexagram effect appears on the screen, she unleashes six rounds of all-target attacks. On top of that, it has a high chance of inflicting paralysis status. In Enhaz, this would be just a flashy effect and a status ailment. But this is the game world, not a game itself. For that magical beast clad in metal armor, lightning attacks cause devastating damage. As proof…

“Gu… gu… ga…” (Magical Beast)

The magical beast took the full brunt of Hexagram Lightning and was charred black all over, including the places sliced by Despina’s sword.

Then…

“That’s all! The winner is Despina!” (Judge)

As the magical beast literally collapsed to the ground, the judge announced the victory.
