Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~-Chapter 707Vol. 12 - - Burst of Divine Technique! The Great Battle for 100 Combos! (1)

The reaper’s hand, in the form of a rapid swipe of a monstrous hand, approached Dogora.

“Dogora!!”

A scream reflexively escaped from Kurena, but however much she wanted, she just had no technique in her arsenal to counter the «Whirling Edge». Heart leapt in her throat out of anxiety.

“Knockback Bullet!!”

«Roger!!»

«Guuhh!?»

«Allen Party’s Combo Count has reached 10.»

“Meruru!!”

However before the worst came to pass, a bullet from a different angle cut in the scene and parried Nestirad’s attack, making him retreat around one meter backward, and at the same time, another count was added into combo.

The sudden twist had Kurena exclaimed, her anxiety turned into a mere fleeting existence, replaced by a glowing smile.

«Tsk, it sure has one heck of resistance. It barely retreated at all.»

Meruru's voice echoed from above the disc he was controlling.

“It sure has. But this is Allen’s plan, and that’s all it matters, Digragni.”

And soon, Nestirad found itself at the centre of non-stop onslaught. Luck continued to work out on sustaining debuffs and lower its resistance.

With Merle at the forefront with his combo acquisition equipment, the team’s barrage of attack managed to add 10 more numbers to combo count out of total 22 hits.

«Allen Party’s Combo Count has reached 20.»

(Hurray! And this completes the condition for Divine Technique!!)

With the combo count crossing the count of 10, and then 20, a newfound spiritual power channeled into Shea’s fist, overflowing and covering it.

«Shea!!»

«I know!! Bear God Shattering Strike!!»

«Geeehhh!!»

Shea’s divine technique landed on Nestirad, causing a grunt to escape from his mouth. It appeared the status reduction effect had been applied perfectly.

«Allen Party’s Combo Count has reached 21 hits.»

Much like Kurena, who had jumped to acquire Celeste Dawn from Dragon Knight, Shea also had an arsenal full of overwhelming skills. At the same time, she had a number of multi-hit skills just as much, their effect varying from dealing pure overwhelming damage to status or resistance reduction of the target as long as the condition had been fulfilled.

————Shea’s Divine Technique and the condition————

———Shea’s Skill list———

“Ohh, the poisonous tide effect is working! Its resistance has been lowered!!”

(It sure is easier to apply debuff with one being 0 luck, and other drowning it. Cursed Strikes are indeed effective, but I have to say, the overlapping effect from Shea’s skill has reduced his resistance even more.)

Sure enough, luck was showing its usage, even if it wasn’t the main aspect that interacted with debuffs.

«Y-You bastards!!»

Nestirad howled at Allen and his party while gnashing on his teeths. After the initial lag from having his attack cancel wore off, he attempted another attack.

Meanwhile, the party members had just completed their series of attacks, so an immediate retreat wasn’t a possible route for them, nevertheless this was a choice they made. And when against an opponent as monstrous as Nestirad, the moves were exchanged in a matter of split seconds.

(Normally, the wave attack would have been the go-to when fighting with a party as large as us, but with mid-guard, vanguard should be alright to press on their onslaught. We need to get the combo meter up!!)

«Peromas-sensei! Formar-sensei! Now it’s all in your hands!!»

(The world awaits for you to showcase your newfound power, Formar-sensei!)

“True Coin Pitcher!!”

«Allen Party’s Combo Count has reached 22.»

«Grrrhh!! Again with those annoying tricks!!»

However before Nestirad could follow with any of his attacks, a gold coin hit him and rammed into his head, almost toppling him behind.

At the same time, the stance had left him completely defenseless, especially with his hands spread out and stomach wide open. This was an opportunist that Formar would never let escape.

“Divine Technique Activate! Ultimate Archer!! Divine Divine Sovereign Meteor Arrow!!"

With exquisite timing, Former nocked an arrow on his Sacred Artifact Ninigi, and shot it.

For a brief second, a spectacle of shooting stars adorning the sky around the arrow flickered, its splendor expanding before it suddenly tilted on its angel, aiming for a specific spot.

Like myriads of shooting stars, the arrow split into 35 parts and hailed down at the chest of Nestirad.

«Gurrrahh!!»

"Hmm, it's really so resistant to damage. But at least, this should've added more combo count, eh? Alright Peromas, let's aim for a better shot next. Now's the window to go all out. Throw the idea of being perfectionist, and just try to target its upper body."

"Alright."

In the last month, while Shea and the rest were visiting the Forest of Primordial Beasts, Former was learning from Archer God Korone. He had significant gains, eventually even levelling the divine technique.

Divine Sovereign Meteor Arrow—With every level skill had, the original arrow would be fragmented into five arrows each, and each arrow would receive an enhanced critical rate and accuracy rate buff.

It might not have dealt much damage, but the divine technique managed to bring a huge increment in the combo count.

«Allen Party’s Combo Count has reached 50.»

(Heck yeah, they truly are the best mid-guard! Wow, the number straight shot up by 28. It's truly a luck that Former's divine technique and skill were so good for this strategy.)

Allen shared an excited outlook at the outcome.

In fact, Former had many skills like «True Hail Arrow Rain», «Arrow Barrage» et cetera that increases the number of skill with each skill level like divine technique.

[Former's Divine Technique List]

1. Lightning Blitz - 1 hit attack. Thunder attribute.

2. Clear and Serene - Remove ally's debuff

※Divine Sovereign Meteor Arrow - Shot Skill Level x 5 arrows. Skill Level x 10% x (Critical Rate, and accuracy rate) correction to status. The effect is applied as soon as the skill is invoked.

3. Infinite Quiver - Transmute an item of equivalent value into an arrow of equivalent might (living being discounted)

※Archer God Korone's Divine Technique

[Former's Skill Overview]

1. True Roaring Thunder Bullet - A strong thunder attribute attack.

2. True Hail of Arrows - Shot Skill Level x 3 Arrows.

3. True Draw - Increase the attack of the next arrow. Effects can be stacked in respect to the skill level.

4. True Gold Archer - A strong strong with piercing attributes. Ignore a portion of opponent's resistance and offset damage

5. True Archer - Increase Status.

6. Light Arrow - Shoot a strong arrow with a light attribute.

7. Arrow Barrage - Shot Skill Level x 4 arrows. Reduce target's critical hit.

8. Clairvoyance Arrow - Read the flow of time and deliver a sure-hit attack

9. Divine Technique Activate - Allow the usage of divine technique. 1 day cooldown.

10. Archery - Improvise the user's archer skill.

(Uh-huh, the damage is still so far from making any dent on him. But at least, it can't use skill freely with our siege, and the combo count is steadily increasing.)

In the end, it appeared the battle against Nestirad would truly be solved by Shea's divine technique once they hit the ceiling of 100 combo count.

So Allen forsake any hope to deal substantial damage to it, and focus on cutting down Nestirad's stamina and resistance.

Meanwhile, under Allen's watch as he was inspecting his state after Formar's arrow, Nestirad let out a loud grunt while having his flesh shaved off.

«You damn ants can't achieve anything with your toys!!»

Spiritual aura had once again begun to converge on his right hand, a premonition that Nestirad was preparing its skill attack.

«Haku!!»

«Rawwr!! *Rooooaaaarr*»

As soon as Allen sensed the changes, he signalled Haku via Bird F transmission. Haku unleashes her 'Roar.'

The roar shook the whole area, even the giant trees began to make loud creaking sounds as if they're going to snap like a twig. On the other hand, Nestirad seemed to have trembled and stopped on his attack.

"Whoa, great!!"

«Nice one, Haku. What are you doing, everyone? You're not the one stunned, so hurry up and take advantage of this moment to attack! It's an-out moment!! The combo has already reached above 50!! The victory is just before our eyes, so let's not tardy! Oi, Dogora. What did I say not to stay there gawking!!?»

"I knowwwww!!"

Allen raised the morale of his party with his speech, while also doubling down on his potato-face friend Dogora.
