Inventory of The Famous Scene: Starting from Emiya

Chapter 432 - 418: Planning to rename the Starting Village to ’Retirement Village’! Even so, he’s still a Big Boss

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"This King of Scum actually managed to call upon so many adventurers. How did this guy do it?"

Ishtar was completely baffled.

If Kazuma were an incredibly brave Hero with noble character and knightly spirit, then rallying a hundred responses with a single call would make sense...

But he was none of those things! Those qualities had not even half a yen’s worth of relation to him. Not only was he a lecherous scum, but he was also absolute trash—utter trash. Even the Demon King’s generals were more upright than him.

Merlin also revealed a wry smile.

"But he managed to do it anyway, didn’t he?"

While arranging for Aqua to stop Darkness, he also came up with a countermeasure. It was truly hard to imagine that in his past life, he was just a teenage shut-in.

Moreover, he gathered a huge group of people with speed that defied common sense... As expected, being able to fight isn’t worth a damn; to make it in this world, you ultimately have to talk about influence!

.....

[ Soon, everyone had arrived at the lakeside. Aqua began striking various strange poses, constantly casting buffs on the crowd: "Blessing—!"

Kazuma began to utilize his strengths, running through the crowd and directing everyone’s actions: "Thieves, get ready to bind! Archers, prepare the arrows tied with grappling hooks!"

"Mages, don’t hold back! Gather all your mana and fire off a big one~!"

Finally, Kazuma looked toward Darkness, who was standing at the very front.

"Darkness, your Decoy skill is the key to this operation. Don’t get one-shotted!"

Soon, the Nine-Headed Hydra appeared in everyone’s sight. Darkness’s gaze sharpened.

"Leave it to me. Decoy!!"

The next second, Darkness began running while making various bizarre expressions, looking just like an Abnormal Titan: "Just watch me slaughter y-y-y-y-you..." ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, so this skill manifests in one’s actions as well? I have to say that expression is indeed taunting enough!"

Everyone outside the video burst into laughter. As expected of an Advanced Class. Look at that taunt! It was a dual provocation on both physical and mental levels; every second was a walking meme!

.....

〜Sword Art Online World〜

Kirito stared blankly at the screen, his thoughts drifting far away.

"Come to think of it, the last time Kazuma commanded this many people in battle was at the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, right?"

Asuna’s voice sounded somewhat nostalgic.

"Yeah, this also reminds me of the scene when we cleared the First Floor Boss back then."

They were incredibly familiar with this kind of scene, having to experience it from time to time. Regrettably, they didn’t have an Aqua; every crusade resulted in different people sacrificing themselves.

Kirito snapped back to reality and smiled faintly.

"Leading a guild in a raid battle has never been a simple task, yet Kazuma managed to pull it off!"

Not only did one have to constantly pay attention to the positioning, injury levels, and mana of different classes... but one also had to constantly watch out for changes in the Boss. None of these were easy task.

Especially since the brain had to process all this observed information and make reasonable arrangements in a split second to avoid casualties while still dealing effective damage...

Commanding had never been an easy job.

.....

[ Seeing that the Hydra’s aggro had been drawn, upon Kazuma’s command, the Thieves twisted ropes into a single line and fired them out. The massive iron balls tied behind them were sent flying as well!

Under the effect of massive inertia, the giant iron balls circled the Hydra, binding it firmly in the blink of an eye! The Archers also began firing grappling hooks, intending to fix it to the ground!

Subsequently, Kazuma used a springboard to launch himself. However, the force was a bit too strong... he flew right over its head and landed on its back.

"If we can’t defeat it because it has too much mana, then I’ll just suck it dry! Drain Touch—!!"

With everyone’s combined efforts, the weakened water snake was dragged directly onto the shore. However, before Kazuma could celebrate, it suddenly rolled over, flipping him off.

Fortunately, Darkness propped herself up in front of Kazuma just in time, saving him from being flattened on the spot. "It’s too heavy! I can’t hold it much longer!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"No, no, no, you’re being too modest. Honestly, the fact that you can hold it up at all feels ridiculous enough to me!"

Looking at the Hydra’s massive size, and then at Darkness’s physique, which wasn’t even the size of one of its fingernails, the crowd outside the video silently gave a thumbs up. You really are the beast here!

.....

〜OVERLORD World〜

Looking at Kazuma’s actions and then looking at the Hydra’s colossal size, Ainz stroked his chin in thought.

"This... how should I put it? Is he a mosquito?"

That’s right, a mosquito! Comparing their sizes, he was probably even less than a mosquito. But one had to admit, Kazuma was truly brave to dare go in like that!

Shalltear watched with a toothache.

"A mosquito can only suck a few mouthfuls. How long does he have to suck for? Will his body really not burst—Arinsu?"

For a human body to absorb from such a behemoth, wasn’t that seeking death? It would make more sense if the Undead King Wiz were the one doing it.

"No! That Drain Touch move seems different. The Hydra is actually being weakened."

This was what made Ainz and the others most curious.

From a normal perspective, even if the Hydra stood still and let Kazuma suck for a day, it should be fine. For a monster of that level, its mana regeneration might be faster than its drain rate.

But it was actually working. One could only say that Drain Touch was truly a magical skill.

.....

[ Darkness didn’t hesitate to get injured every day just to drain this monster’s mana; how could he let her efforts go to waste!

Holding onto this thought, Kazuma continued to cast Drain Touch. However, Darkness hadn’t been holding it up for long before she was near her limit.

Kazuma hurriedly provoked her: "How can someone who can’t even endure this win the Endurance Contest! You spineless coward!"

The heavy pressure from the Hydra, combined with Kazuma’s verbal abuse, made Darkness flush red with excitement, and she began to tremble continuously.

The adventurers saw the flushed Darkness and hurriedly began pulling on the Hydra.

"Darkness can’t hold on much longer! Don’t underestimate the adventurers of Axel!"

Little did they know, Darkness was currently experiencing a brand new sensation and was drooling with excitement. "What is this feeling... You order me to hold on like a master, yet your life is in my hands!"

"What a contradiction... A new sensation! This is a new sensation, Kazuma!"

Fortunately, she held on long enough. Under Kazuma’s Drain Touch, the Hydra finally collapsed.

Seeing this, Dust excitedly charged forward with his sword.

"The Hydra is weakened! I’ll be taking the huge bounty! The bounty goes to the one who lands the killing blow..."

"Ah, hmm..." Dust, still running, was instantly bitten by the Hydra. Kazuma took this opportunity to crawl out. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"She’s back. The familiar M-mode is back. She’s been so overly serious since the Capital that I almost thought she’d been swapped."

"Good lord. Even if Kazuma got crushed to death right now, I’d be unmoved. He’s died several times already anyway."

Watching Darkness’s masochistic attributes explode, even the crowd outside the video took a few steps back in fear. Although they were used to it, it was still terrifying!

To be perverted to this extent... even if cured, she’d probably still drool for a few months.

.....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

"’Don’t underestimate the adventurers of Axel...’"

Ristarte heard this and immediately spat out the tea she was drinking. Do you guys have no shame?

By the way, who would dare underestimate you?! That Hydra looks like it’s almost a World Class Boss, and now it’s about to be farmed by you bunch of Beginner Village adventurers.

Ristarte silently took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and asked a question from the depths of her soul:

"Seriously, are they really Beginner Village adventurers?"

Normally, adventurers in the Beginner Village go fight slimes or goblins or something! Challenging a monster like a Hydra that even the Demon King would find troublesome—is that appropriate?

As everyone knows, the Beginner Village has no beginners. Just rename it the Retirement Village already! It’s full of retired big shots.

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

"Just because the Hydra is weakened doesn’t mean you’ve gotten stronger, you piece of trash!"

Accelerator curled his lips in disdain as he watched Dust’s behavior.

Especially since he was shouting lines that sounded like they belonged to a disposable extra—wasn’t that just looking for death?

On the other side, a certain Kamijou-kun, who wished to remain anonymous, held the same thought.

"As expected of Kazuma’s friend. This Dust really is scum..."

It seems there’s a reason you two became good friends. Their personalities are practically cut from the same cloth. If you swapped him out for Kazuma, there really wouldn’t be any sense of incongruity at all.
