Volume 6 Chapter 17 True Power
Telekinesis Release Rate: 60%
Elk uses 'Terpsichora' to manipulate his body and goes head-to-head with Lolofaldo.
Lolofaldo's weapon is a dagger. He spins a black dagger in his right hand and aims for Elk's neck.
Elk defends with his blade and tries to kick Lolofaldo in the head, but Lolo dodges.
Lolo pulls out several dagger daggers hidden in his clothes and throws them.
However, Elk stops all the daggers in mid-air and throws them back at Lolo.
"Wow."
Lolo swings both daggers quickly, shattering all the dagger daggers.
Elk opens his short bow, loads an arrow, and shoots it at Lolo, but Lolo cuts the arrow down.
He easily sliced the dagger wrapped in telekinesis.
"You're not like a puppet..."
"Of course. Don't compare me to that useless thing."
Master skill of Dagger Technique, 'Jack the Ripper.'
The peak of dagger users. Lolo is definitely stronger than Rosho and Elwood.
But─── that's all.
"Mr. Elk, you're really strong... you're on a different level than those weaklings."
"...Thanks."
"Hey, isn't it time you told me? Mr. Elk, what 'cheat skill' did you get from Goddess Pipina?"
"I told you, I didn't get anything. Stop being so annoying."
"You're just lying. Well─── no matter what skill it is, it's useless in front of me."
Lolo spreads his arms.
"Skill Domain Expansion───...'Skill Canceler.'."
Spatial skill, 'Skill Canceler.'
A space is created where only skills permitted by Lolo can be used.
Skills not permitted by Lolo cannot be used at all. In other words, Elk cannot use Telekinesis.
No matter how strong an Elk is, his strength depends on his skills. An Elk without skills is no match for Lolo.
The density of skills is different from when he was a doll.
"Alright, Mr. Elk, do you think you can win now? You can't use any skills... what will you do?"
"I'll do this."
The moment Elk pointed his hand at the ground, Lolo's body floated into the air.
"!? ───Whoa!?"
Then, he was slammed into the ceiling and fell.
He was unable to take a defensive stance and was slammed straight into the ground, and all the air in his lungs was expelled. His body was numb and he couldn't move. His eyes started to flicker, and the 'Skill Canceller' was released.
Then───Lolo's body rose into the air.
He moves at high speed and is slammed into a nearby wall. Before he can even feel the pain, he is slammed into the Cathedral wall like a pinball.
He is then pulled towards Elk with all his might───his fist slams into his face and sends him flying.
"Get out of here!!"
"Ugh, what the!?"
He rolls across the ground and stops at Elena's feet.
Lolo coughs and rolls his eyes, not understanding what is going on.
Elena touches him gently───the next moment, Lolo's injuries are completely healed.
Lolo slowly stands up.
"...What did you do?"
"The effect range of space skills. Each skill has a maximum radius of 50m (164ft), right? So, I used Telekinesis to lift the ground right below you, 50m (164ft) up. That's why you got slammed into the ceiling."
"......"
"Skill Canceller, right? No matter how strong a space skill is... it's an ability I've seen once. It's natural to think of a way to deal with it."
"......"
"You underestimate me, that's why this happens. You're scared and make dolls fight for you."
"......You."
"It's enough, Lolofaldo."
The moment Lolo's expression changed, Elena stopped him.
Elk glared at Elena.
"Next, it's Senior Elena's turn, right?"
"I'm sorry. I have no combat ability... Elk, I'll back down here. Hehe, see you again."
When Elena snapped her fingers, Lolo and Rapucel disappeared like smoke.
What was left was the nearly collapsed Cathedral. And the bodies of the students.
Elk took off his mask and hood.
"Haah..."
Then, from behind a pillar in the Cathedral, a small butterfly flew out.
"Is it over~?"
"Sylphid, are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah..."
Elk had used Telekinesis to protect Sylphid and hid her behind a nearby pillar.
Sylphid was unhurt. Elk felt relieved.
But... there were injured and dead.
Then, the doors of the Cathedral opened, and Poseidon and others came in.
"Elk!! I'm glad you're safe..."
"Principal..."
"The Goddess Holy Church has retreated, right? But... look at this situation."
"...I'm sorry, I couldn't protect them."
Several teachers and many students' bodies were scattered around.
However, Poseidon nodded.
"Don't worry. It seems the dungeon has been cleared, but if someone died inside, they should be able to be revived with the resurrection skill and magic. Let's call Nightingale and bring everyone back to life."
"Y-yes... I'm glad."
"Well, it looks like we need to ask a lot of questions again this time."
Elk left the Cathedral with Poseidon.
* * *
Of course, there were no classes that day.
They had to check on the students' safety, revive the dead, and undo the brainwashing of the captured students.
The teachers, including Poseidon, successfully captured about 70 students.
Nightingale, who was called in urgently, used magic to break the brainwashing, but...
"...I've never seen such advanced brainwashing before."
She seemed surprised and even impressed.
While the teachers took care of the aftermath, Elk was talking with Poseidon and Elshi.
"I see..."
"So, their goal was to 'kidnap' not just the new students but also the upperclassmen."
Poseidon fiddled with his beard, and Elshi gritted her teeth in frustration.
"How careless... I can't believe they kidnapped not just the new students but also the upperclassmen."
"The number of victims is about 30. But at least the 70 new students who were kidnapped have come back. Well... it's not all good, but it wasn't all bad either."
Elk said to Poseidon and Elshi.
"Um... can I go back to the dorm? I'm worried about everyone."
"That's fine. You can go back. You haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
"...Haha."
Elk held his stomach, chuckling awkwardly as he left the principal's office.
Poseidon then spoke to Elshi.
"Second attack... As expected, the Galatinne Kingdom will move now. Plus, I need to get serious soon."
"Principal..."
"Ho ho ho. But really, what does the Goddess Holy Church want?"
Poseidon couldn't get an answer from Elshi.
* * *
When Elk returned to the dorm, Soara and Yato were just opening the door.
Kaya also came back.
Sylphid flew out and landed on Soara's head.
"Yato, Soara, Kaya... I'm glad you're all safe."
"Everyone is okay~~~..."
"I'm fine. I don't really understand, but I did my best."
"...Honestly, I didn't get it at all."
"Same here. I only cut down the enemies that came at me."
They didn't have any serious injuries.
When they opened the dorm door, Sophia, Gambo, and Fine were cleaning the living room.
"Gambo, Fine, Miss Sophia... Are you all okay?"
"Of course. But seriously, what was that?"
"Hey, hey, Elk. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Just then, Merry and Nickes came from the kitchen, each holding a large plate.
The plate was full of sandwiches and fried chicken.
"First, let's eat!!"
"Nickes!! You're safe!"
"Yeah. Merry is safe too."
"...I didn't do anything useful."
Merry looked a bit down, her mouth forming a frown.
Then──Emma came down the stairs in her pajamas.
"Yawn... I'm so sleepy."
""""""""......""""""""
"Good morning, everyone~... I need to wash my face."
Emma woke up slowly, not knowing that the school had turned into a dungeon. She went to wash her face without a care.
Maybe sleeping in was the best way to protect herself from this dungeon school.
