Marie found herself in battle with Yamata no Orochi, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sorcerer King,.
However, Marie seemed very unenthusiastic about it.
ㅤ
The reason? “Snakes aren’t tasty, right?” A rather disappointing reason.
In contrast, Yamata no Orochi seemed eager to fight.
ㅤ
『Prepare to die!』
ㅤ
From its eight mouths, it unleashed eight different breath attacks, each causing a different status effect like paralysis or poisoning.
ㅤ
Marie, with Kaito by her side, elegantly dodges the attack.
Using wind magic, she creates a barrier around Kaito.
ㅤ
“Stay put.”
“Yes, Witch-sama. . . . . . ready to fight!”
ㅤ
Well, Kaito could probably make even a snake taste delicious if he cooked it.
ㅤ
“I’ll leave the cooking to Kaito. . . . . . I’ll handle the prep work. 【Wind Blade】.”
ㅤ
Marie attacks with a blade of wind.
Moving at a speed indiscernible to the average person, the wind blade decapitates one of Yamata no Orochi’s heads.
ㅤ
【Heh. . . . . . fool.】
ㅤ
A new head regenerates from the severed stump.
“Looks like it has regenerative abilities.”
ㅤ
But she had seen monsters with similar abilities before.
Unfazed, Marie releases another wind blade.
ㅤ
However, just as her wind blade was about to sever another of Yamata no Orochi’s heads. . . . . .
It deflects the blade.
ㅤ
“?! What’s going on?! The last attack didn’t work!”
“Hmm. . . . . . so that’s it. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Marie realizes.
The opponent had 【Learned】.
ㅤ
『Ah. . . . . . probably learning, right?』
“Ose-sama, what is learning?”
『It’s the ability to learn from previous attacks, making them ineffective.』
ㅤ
Add regenerative abilities to that.
In other words. . . . . .
ㅤ
“For real, Witch-sama. Because it can regenerate, it can deliberately take hits and learn from them.”
ㅤ
Regeneration and learning.
The enemy seemed to have both abilities.
ㅤ
“This is. . . . . . invincible!”
『Hahaha! Exactly! My power is unmatched! A mere girl like you cannot win!』
ㅤ
Next, Marie activates Wind Rending Blade.
The resulting wind tornado decapitates two of Yamata no Orochi’s heads.
ㅤ
But both heads regenerate instantly.
Marie quickly realizes the gimmick.
ㅤ
“This is going to take a while.”
“What do you mean?!”
“The enemy regenerates from standard attacks. To kill it, we probably have to decapitate all eight heads.”
ㅤ
Marie quickly understands the nature of her enemy.
Regeneration and learning make this a tough beast to slay.
ㅤ
『This is going to be a tough one, huh?』
“What’s the issue? It’s fine.”
ㅤ
Marie raises her right hand above her head.
Multiple magic circles appear and expand.
ㅤ
“Let me show you what a real magician is.”
