Part 4
The sudden appearance of the Silver Knight left Kazuya and the others in a state of confusion.
“W-wait! Something else has appeared!”
“C-could it be... a new mechanical knight?”
“No, this is something I summoned.”
“S-something that Yuuya-san summoned?”
“What in the world is going on...!”
As the awakened people grew increasingly confused when I announced that I had summoned the giant silver knight, I focused my attention on entering the silver knight, the golem.
And then...
“H-huh?”
“Why is Kazuya here?”
As it turned out, Kazuya had entered the golem with me!
“Um, I don’t know what’s going on either...”
“If you’re already inside, there’s no choice! We’ll attack as is!”
“Y-yes!”
I took out the Omni-Sword with the golem’s hand and attacked Mother!
However, Mother immediately pulled out a laser-type sword and blocked the Omni-Sword.
...As I thought, my weapon doesn’t seem to have any effect on Mother anymore.
Then I’ll have to defeat that thing with my own power again...
“How much can you move this time?”
“The maximum operating time this time is five minutes.”
The golem answered my question.
I remember it was three minutes last time, so it’s improved a bit. Was it because Kazuya was here?
In any case, if I don’t defeat Mother within five minutes, it will all be over.
Frowning at the harsh conditions, I swung my sword with all my might.
However, Mother handled my attack perfectly.
“Attack pattern analysis completed.”
“Kuh!”
Moreover, the more we fought, the more she read my every move and stopped my movements.
I pulled out all kinds of weapons to try to exploit any openings Mother might have, but all of them had already been analyzed and adapted to her perfectly. ŗaɴỐ฿ËS
Although the situation was already difficult, I heard Mother say something else.
“──Physical impact analysis complete.”
“Wha?!”
Suddenly, Mother, who had been engaged in a fierce sword fight, stopped moving.
I took the opportunity to attack Mother with my sword, but...
“Eh...?”
“...Wait, seriously?”
We both broke out in a cold sweat at the scene in front of us.
For even after my blow, Mother had not been injured in the slightest.
Then Mother spoke again.
“The analysis of the physical impact has been completed, and full physical resistance has been achieved.”
“Is that even possible?”
Mother had analyzed the physical damage I had inflicted on her during our fight and had changed her body to withstand it.
“──Analysis complete. Further combat is pointless. I still recommend surrender.”
What... Mother had finished the analysis of Kazuya’s superpower.
Now that this has happened, we have no way to defeat her.
Was there nothing else we could do...?
While such thoughts suddenly crossed my mind... Kazuya’s eyes were still alive.
“Screw it! It doesn’t matter if it’s useless or not. I, we, will defeat you here and take back the future! Aaaaaaah!”
Kazuya lunges at Mother while shouting.
──It was at that moment.
“Eh?!”
Suddenly, the sword in Kazuya’s hand began to glow even brighter!
The light grew stronger and stronger, and soon it was not just white light, but a variety of colors─blue, red, purple, silver, gold, black─all harmonizing and spreading out.
Before I knew it, Kazuya’s long sword was covered in a rainbow of light.
While I was still trying to figure out what was happening, Kazuya looked at the light and muttered in amazement.
“Is that... the Sword Light of the Sword Saint?”
While I was confused by the sudden change, Mother’s appearance changed.
“Alert level raised. Must be dealt with immediately.”
And Mother attacked with a torrent of power!
With no chance to defend himself and with the golem’s time running out, Kazuya held out.
Since it seemed impossible to find an opening, Kazuya finally moved.
“Here!”
“!?”
Incredibly, Kazuya uses the short gap between the attacks and parries Mother’s sword.
This leaves Mother’s breast exposed and unprotected.
Of course, Kazuya did not miss this opportunity and swung his sword.
“Yuuya-san’s sword and the one I just used may have been analyzed, but what about the awakened Sword Light of the Sword Saint!”
Kazuya’s blow with everything at stake.
But of course, Mother couldn’t just sit back and take the attack.
“Emergency defense system activated.”
Mother’s chest emitted a powerful laser!
“Guhh!?”
After taking the direct hit, the golem was finally unable to hold on and disappeared.
“Damn, is that all I’ve got?”
I shouted as I was thrown into the air when the golem’s summoning was canceled.
──But Kazuya had not given up.
“Uooooooooohhhh!”
“!?”
To my surprise, the sword that Kazuya had raised had gathered an immense amount of light, even more than the laser that Mother had just released.
Facing this, Mother tried to dodge.
But... it was nothing more than a useless fight now.
“This... is the end!”
With a flash of mind, the ultimate slash was unleashed with a battle cry──slicing Mother in two.
Mother, her mechanical brain cut in half, uttered an inorganic voice.
“Unintelligible. Unintelligible. Analysis of the cause of defeat, analysis──”
──And finally, the giant machine collapsed and fell silent.
