The sixth prince of Niosebuku, Terracoas.
Her ``calling'' is spirit medium.
It is said that by possessing the spirits of great heroes from the past, one can use their powers to the fullest.
He was a man of incredible ability.
By setting spirits with various characteristics onto themselves, their abilities become incredibly expandable.
As long as they had people with the skills to handle hand-to-hand combat, magical combat, and operations in special environments, they would be unstoppable at any time.
It is truly a versatile class that can handle any situation.
"An ability similar to that of the Masked Manipulator at one time...!"
While complaining, he kept a certain distance and countered with the "Stretch" skill.
He stretches and retracts the rod with the speed of lightning. It's a shooting-like skill that sends the target flying with that speed, but this skill, which has fended off every enemy up until now, doesn't work on the possessed boy!?
"He just reacts and dodges everything...!?"
"Right now, Terracoas has raised his possession fusion level to fifty percent, and is possessing three spirits at the same time. They are the Light Master, the Grappler, and the Frog Swordsman."
Princess Synthenoiser said as she commanded the prince.
"Use the fighting sense of [Grappler] to sense the enemy's movements and dodge them with the jumping power of [Frog Swordsman]. Then burn the enemy to ashes with a beam attack from [Light Master]. This is the strongest combination of the spirits Terracoas has in stock. Do you think you can stand up to them?"
"It's possible to possess multiple spirits at the same time...?!"
It's close to its final form.
Certainly, if he had only one 『Profession』 he wouldn't have been able to deal with my "Stretch" skill, but by combining multiple classes and making the most of their respective strengths to complement each other, he can deal with lightning-fast movements and even counterattack.
I was also busy defending myself by narrowly dodging the beam attacks that came flying at me and deflecting them with my stick.
This was the first time I had ever seen such a breathless offensive and defensive battle.
"Lord Sao! Help me!"
"Don't come! You won't be able to withstand that onslaught!"
The attacks it unleashes are beams of light, so they move at the speed of light.
In terms of speed, it easily surpasses my "Stretch" skill.
Theoretically, it's impossible to anticipate that, so the only thing you can do is to somehow avoid it by predicting it.
So far, rays of light have been emitted from the tips of each of the prince's five fingers.
This means that if you can read the line of fire and make sure you never get in its path, it's possible to avoid it even at the speed of light.
Of course, no one can guarantee that the other person can only emit beams from their fingertips, and if they suddenly emit a beam from their eye, there's nothing you can do.
And yet, he was also able to predict my movements with his [Grappler] skill, and though it was at the speed of sound, it was exactly the same in the sense that it was "faster than humans could catch", but he was able to neatly avoid my "Stretch" skill.
Although Tamagushi's Valkyrie was a fairly powerful ``vocation,'' it was doubtful she would be able to keep up with this lightning-fast combat.
"What a frightening vocation...!? Doesn't that mean you can borrow other people's skills as much as you want by dealing with the dead?"
"It depends on how much of the soul he can use."
Can anyone who lived and died in the past be possessed?
Or are there restrictions on the spirits that can be summoned into the world and possessed?
It's not clear, but for now I'm assuming the worst... I'd better fight as if there are no restrictions.
"What do you think, Sao-san? The abilities of my prized child, Terracoas. It's quite something to behold, isn't it?"
The fourth princess, Synthenoiser.
As always, she makes no attempt to hide her magnificent naked body and is proud of her move.
Even in the midst of a hectic battle, her nakedness was mesmerizing.
"...Ah, it scared me to the point of shivering."
She hugged me earlier as an attempt to win me over, but was this also a form of demonstration?
-- "I have such a powerful trump card. So it's better to draw it in, right?"
If that's the case, then now that I've seen its value more than enough, could you please back off?
"No, this is a situation where you can be of help to us."
"what?"
"I think I've shown you my worth by violating me so much, right? I want you to reward me for the pleasure I got from that as work."
"This battle?!"
So what is the reward for fighting this Shaman Prince?
"Now, Terracoas! Today's enemy will be tough, you won't be able to defeat them with a possession fusion level of 50%! You must aim even higher!"
"Guh..., uuuuuuh...!!"
"Possession fusion level is 70%!!"
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"
The Sixth Prince roared even louder.
Along with this, her body undergoes further changes.
Are you planning to improve your form again?
"You must possess more spirits and absorb their abilities! Otherwise you will not be able to defeat this most powerful being! He is stronger than any foe you have ever faced!"
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...!?
It's like even my skeleton has become something completely different...!?
They grow horns and wings...
Can that be explained by possession?
Isn't it demonization?
"Gubbaaah!"
The Sixth Prince, who had turned into a demon, attacked.
Having a bad feeling, I took a big step back to dodge, and the ground I was standing on was gouged out and scattered into pieces.
As soon as his fist touched it.
The soil is like dust...
"Dust… what is that…?!"
"Gangastora's skill "Molecular Disintegration"!?"
Well, I just killed him, so it should be possible to use his soul...
Or was there another person in the past who was given the "vocation" of [Destroyer]?
"This is no time for leisurely reasoning, Sao-sama! Molecular Disintegration is a skill boasting the strongest offensive power! If it is used, all defenses will be meaningless!!"
Oh yeah, that's right.
Furthermore, rays of light were emitted from the five fingers, and everywhere they hit began to turn into dust.
Could it be that the beam also has the effect of "atomic disintegration"?
The light-speed attacks are extremely difficult to avoid, and also have attributes that cannot be defended against.
That's a pretty nasty attack, isn't it?
"I've reached my limit! I can't handle this any more!"
The opponent's offensive was so fierce that Tamagushi was naturally caught up in it.
If she continues to be on the defensive like this, she will be in danger.
I can't just leave it like this, so I guess it's time to fight back.
"Hey!"
As I prayed, my surroundings were covered in white.
That fuzzy white thing rising up is... fog?
"I just tried using the power of 'Aqua Stigma' that I received from the water spirit."
"New spirit powers?! When did that happen, Sao-sama?!"
Fog, a mass of tiny water droplets, has the effect of scattering and eliminating light.
The light beam that the prince had unleashed was quickly blocked by the wall of mist.
"Sarah-nii"
Using the power of ``Air Stigma'' bestowed by the wind spirit, he presses compressed air against it.
From top to bottom.
It's air pressure that is applied over a wide area, crushing everything.
If this happens to you, no matter how good your senses are or how fast you can move, there's no way to avoid it.
As expected, the Sixth Prince also tried to dodge, but that was not enough and he was crushed by the giant hammer of air.
"This power...!?"
"That's right. What Sao-sama has is not just the power of his 'vocation'! The crest he was granted by the spirits allows the power of nature to vibrate in him."
That's it.
As expected, I'm at a disadvantage against an opponent who can bring an infinite number of skills from the spirit world.
Let's rely on powers other than skills as well.
Crushed by the mass of compressed air, the Sixth Prince was unable to move, just like Son Goku being crushed by a huge rock.
Not content with that, I used the power of ``Ah Stigma'' bestowed upon me by the Spirit of the Earth, turning the ground beneath his feet into sand.
The compressed air being pushed in from above causes its limbs to sink deeper into the sand.
"It's completely buried and it's getting harder to move."
And to finish him off, he unleashes a flamethrower using the "Pyro Stigma" bestowed upon him by the Spirit of Fire.
Compressed air gathered to crush the thing.
Being compressed means that the oxygen contained within is also highly concentrated.
If you throw a fire into it, it will burn just as well as usual.
GGGGGGGG!
I'm burning more than usual.
"GAAAAAAHHH!!"
The Sixth Prince is also in the fire, so it should turn out well.
Even if they had some kind of fire prevention skill, the oxygen was being burned away ferociously in the middle of those flames.
He must be having trouble breathing.
If they continued to cook like this, they would be unable to move properly, whether they were roasted or starved of oxygen.
If that happens, I win.
"But Sao-sama, you really don't have to go that far...!?"
Perhaps bothered by the cruelty of the method, Tamagushi spoke in a trembling voice.
Yeah....
It's not that I don't think so either, but the opponent is just too tough.
Grilled it over high heat for about three minutes.
Deciding that it was enough, I put out the fire, but all that was left was the boy, collapsed, powerless.
It seemed as if the spirit that had possessed her had left, as she lay there motionless, her slender physique back to normal.
But it seems he is alive.
It's so scary that even though they were burned to ashes by such an inferno, not only were they not burned to death, they didn't even suffer serious burns.
The cause of his collapse appears to have been lack of oxygen or extreme fever causing symptoms similar to heat stroke.
"But we managed to defeat what we could...!"
Ah, I'm tired.
Why do I have to engage in such a serious battle when my goal is to have endless sex?
It's not the world I want to be in, so I'd like them to fix it.
"That's impressive, Sao-san. I didn't expect you to completely shut down our Terracoas."
The synth noiser watches the whole thing and then approaches.
I really don't know what she wants to do.
"Onee-sama... I'd like you to reveal your true intentions now. I understand that Terracoas is your trump card, but why did you provoke Sao-sama at this stage and start a pointless battle...?!"
"It's not barren. It definitely has meaning."
The synth noiser coolly brushes it off.
"Besides, this child is not my trump card. The one who is using this child as his final trump card is someone else."
"yes?"
"However, we weren't quite there yet. Terracoas hadn't yet fully brought out his abilities as a Spirit Medium. Up until now, he had only been able to achieve a 50% level of Possession Fusion..."
Come to think of it, I think I was saying something like that during the battle...
"For Terracoas to grow and progress to a higher level of Possession Fusion, it was essential that he face a stronger foe. Only by facing an opponent that he cannot defeat at 50% can he reach a higher level of Possession Fusion."
"I was just a decoy?"
"Even with a 70% fusion level, I couldn't defeat Sao-san. He was truly the ideal formidable opponent. After all, my goal was an unwavering 100% fusion level..."
Well, if you express it as a percentage, 100 would be perfect...
Or will you go full power, 100% out of 100%?
"Is your goal, Onee-sama, to bring out the full potential of Terracoas as a Spiritual Medium...?"
"No, that's not my goal. There is someone else who is looking for Terracoas to become an accomplished medium..."
Huh? Who?
A new character suddenly appears here?
"He is our father."
