That’s an Easy Task

“Th-that is…!?” (Ietoki)

“C-could it be…!?” (Hidetatsu)

From the top of Edo Castle, looking toward Fuji, both general heads of the houses, Ietoki and Hidetatsu, turned pale. Far off at the foot of Fuji, they could even see with the naked eye a writhing shadow like an earthworm.

“Yamata no Orochi…!?” (Ietoki)

“Hahaha, it has revived…!” (Hidetatsu)

Due to the distance, it looks like an earthworm, but considering the scale with Fuji, it is actually terrifyingly huge. If something like that rampaged in Edo or Osaka, there would be no chance of survival. Once it has revived, there is no way to deal with it. At this moment, Yamato Takeru was no longer in this world.

“It’s over… my life is over…” (Ietoki)

“That’s nothing… it’s the end of Yamato…” (Hidetatsu)

“Guruaaaa!!” (Yamata no Orochi)

It seemed each of Yamata no Orochi’s heads could regenerate and revive no matter how many times they were defeated.

‘W-what should we do, degozaru!?’ (Kisaragi)

“…Try defeating them all at once.” (Leon)

If all the heads are destroyed simultaneously, maybe it won’t be able to regenerate. Hoping against hope, Leon mustered the remainder of his strength and magic and launched an all-out attack. However…

“No good.” (Leon)

Even though all the heads were destroyed at once, they immediately started to regenerate.

“Even with the [Emperor Chef] eye, I don’t really understand how to cook, or rather, how to defeat this thing. It’s like it has no weak points…” (Leon)

None of the seven heads had any critical spots. If there was any possibility, it would be the base still buried underground.

‘Hmm? Seven heads, degozaru? Wait. This must be Yamata no Orochi, yes?’ (Kisaragi)

“Hm? That’s right.” (Leon)

‘Yamata means it branches into eight in this country, degozaru!’ (Kisaragi)

“What? So, this means it doesn’t have seven heads, but eight?” (Leon)

‘That’s right, degozaru!’ (Kisaragi)

The eighth head was probably underground.

“We finally caught up!” (Silvia)

“Just in time.” (Leon)

“W-what is this monster!? Is this Yamata no Orochi!?” (Silvia)

Silvia, who had been late, arrived there.

“I used up too much strength and magic. I’ll need healing.” (Leon)

“That’s an easy task!” (Silvia)

Instead of using potions, Leon asked her to heal him because it was faster.

“Not having to drink potions every time is a convenient ite–… comrade, huh?” (Leon)

“Did you just call me an item!? Recovery!” (Silvia)

Silvia protested but did her job properly.

“…Alright, first, let’s pull it up from underground. Gravity Reverse.” (Leon)

Fully recovered in strength and magic, Leon cast gravity magic on the regenerating Yamata no Orochi. The giant body began to lift off the ground on its own.

‘What is this magic!?’ (Kisaragi)

“It’s a spell that temporarily reverses gravity. …It’s coming into view.” (Leon)

The base where the seven heads twisted together rose from the ground.

“Hm? It’s a bit stuck.” (Leon)

Leon grabbed the neck base directly and pulled it out forcefully as if pulling a large radish.

“W-what size is this!?” (Silvia)

‘Is this the eighth head, degozaru!?’ (Kisaragi)

Silvia and Kisaragi’s speech flipped from surprise.

The newly emerged part on the surface was the head of a dragon larger than all seven heads combined. Its plump appearance was more like a giant toad, and from its back extended the seven heads.

“Guruaaaaaaaa!!” (Yamata no Orochi)

Perhaps because it was pulled out forcibly while still sleeping, it looked very angry. The seven heads had nearly finished regenerating and roared in unison.

“H-how do we defeat something like this!?” (Silvia)

‘Humans cannot possibly win now, degozaru!’ (Kisaragi)

“…It’s still changing shape?” (Leon)

The eighth head opened its large mouth wide. What poured out was a violently swirling storm, a tornado.

“!” (Leon)

Leon was blown away while spinning rapidly after being hit directly by it. The tornado instantly uprooted hundreds or thousands of trees in the forest and raced across the lake while generating a tsunami.

“…Incredible power.” (Leon)

Leon had forcibly escaped from the tornado partway through. Still, his clothes were shredded to tatters.

“Guruaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” (Yamata no Orochi)

Confirming Leon’s safety, Yamata no Orochi approached. Leon took a stance, holding Kisaragi’s sword, ready to confront it head-on.

“A-are you alright!?” (Silvia)

‘That is probably impossible to endure, degozaru!?’ (Kisaragi)

“Don’t worry. I already know where its heart is.” (Leon)

With the eighth head exposed, Leon had completely pinpointed its weak spot. He concentrated his fighting spirit and magic into Kisaragi’s sword to the limit, waiting for the attacking monster. All seven heads breathed fire simultaneously. At that moment, Leon kicked off the ground, not only avoiding the breath but also diving into the enemy’s embrace. He was right before the eighth head.

Without resisting the gaping jaws ready to swallow him, he threw himself into the giant mouth and…

“Cross Meteor Break.” (Leon)

He unleashed the strongest strike that once won the battle against the Demon King.
