I Was Reincarnated with OP Invincibility, so I’ll Beat ’em Up My Way as an Action-Adventurer

153. Shall We Begin?

“Guh, aah… ah!?”

The moment Jack touched the light emanating from Sephiria—a skill of [Restoration]—he let out a groan of pain.

“Jack!?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Just don’t move, okay~?”

Sephiria stopped me as I reacted in surprise.

“It’ll be over in just a moment.”

True to her words, the glow subsided in the next instant.

“Hah… hah… hah…”

Soaked in sweat, Jack collapsed on the spot.

“How is it? It was my first time interfering with a divine skill, but I think it worked.”

“…Yeah, the discomfort’s gone.”

Jack exhaled deeply and stood up.

“Ahaha, sorry for scaring you~”

Sephiria gave me a bright smile.

Her plain appearance aside, upon closer inspection, her face was remarkably well-proportioned. With proper makeup, she’d probably be stunningly beautiful.

“Now you can face the upcoming major demon invasion in perfect health.”

Vanessa announced.

“Apologies for the suddenness, but that’s why we brought Jack here. The demons are behaving differently than before. To counter them, not just adventurers but those of us with divine powers are necessary too.”

“Differently than before…”

“Unfortunately, neither Sephiria’s nor my abilities are suited for combat, so we can’t join the frontlines. But we’ll support you, discreetly.”

“Me too~. I’m good at healing, but I’m terrible at direct combat. Besides, I’m only Rank C, so I wasn’t even invited to this quest, ahaha.”

Sephiria laughed.

“I understand your dislike for fighting.”

Vanessa gazed at Jack.

“But if the demons’ reach extends across the world, even those close to you could be in danger. Wouldn’t it be best to crush them here and now?”

“Those close to me…”

Jack groaned.

“Vanessa’s right. Anything threatening what’s precious to you should be destroyed—utterly wiped out.”

Sephiria deepened her smile.

“Every last speck—everything.”

Her solemn tone didn’t match her cheerful smile.

“Everything… everything…”

As Jack muttered, sparks seemed to scatter once again from his body.

※

The Kingdom of Adonis.

In the underground chamber of the Millet Ducal Estate, Vanessa’s mansion, Electra stood.

Vanessa and Sephiria were with her.

Yesterday, the two had met with the skill holders dispatched to the Kingdom of Rudiroum.

Of course, their location had been pinpointed by Electra’s foresight.

As predicted, Hart and Jack seemed ready to fight.

Though, Jack was expected to face a “minor trouble” beforehand. But someone with divine power wouldn’t falter over such a thing.

Once past the trouble, Hart and Jack would join forces against the demonic forces.

Their efforts would surely lead to a significant victory.

For the sake of protecting this world.

And after the battle, they would take action.

(Yes, everything is proceeding according to plan.)

Electra murmured to herself.

(According to plan. And as the future I foresaw… it will proceed.)

Over and over.

She repeated it to herself.

Then,

“Shall we begin, Sephiria?”

“Okay~.”

The noblewoman and the young priestess exchanged smiles.

“Coordinate fixation. Spatial distortion. Mutation. Convergence—”

Vanessa recited as if singing.

Saying it aloud was likely to enhance the imagery needed to use her skill.

“Commencing Sairaega manifestation.”

Vanessa thrust her right hand forward.

In front of her, black stains began to spread.

One after another, the number of stains increased.

It was a subspace pathway created by Vanessa’s skill, “Transfer.”

Two days remained until the demons’ great offensive.

Vanessa was steadily multiplying the Sairaega.

Normally unstable and unsustainable for long, the subspace was constantly reinforced and maintained by Sephiria’s “restoration” skill.

In two days, from the numerous Sairaega created, the army of demons would descend upon this world.

Naturally, the guild’s radar would detect this, and they would ready their defenses.

(A grand battle between adventurers and demons…)

Electra couldn’t assist in the two’s task.

However, she wasn’t idly watching, either.

──[Manoeuvre: Nightmare Vision].

She activated her skill, foreseeing the future.

The future where she once saw her own demise.

To avoid that, Electra had taken action.

She fought Hart, was defeated, and then joined hands with Vanessa.

She had sought a way to survive.

(I will see it through. I will survive.)

With firm resolve in her heart, Electra began yet another foresight—countless times over.
