“Haa… haa… haa…”
The Water God panted heavily, his gaze darting around in search of his enemy.
He gathered the surrounding water and compressed it—then unleashed it all at once.
It was his ultimate technique, one that could crush rock and iron as if they were paper.
Because it consumed an enormous amount of stamina, he couldn’t fire it repeatedly.
But if a human were to take a direct hit, not even a fragment of them would remain.
“…Did I defeat him?”
The Water God exhaled in relief.
He had looked down on humans, but this one had been a terrifyingly strong opponent.
He had wielded a strange sword, fought alongside a fairy,
and possessed unbelievable physical strength.
If things had gone even slightly differently, it might have been him who lost.
It was a victory by the narrowest of margins.
“How disgraceful…”
To think he had nearly been defeated by a mere human—
the very thought wounded the Water God’s pride.
Irritated, he clicked his tongue…
but soon enough, a feeling of delight welled up within him.
“Disgraceful or not… now, there is no one left to stand in my way.”
It was feeding time.
He would once again demand a sacrifice from the townspeople.
He had driven them to the edge—
if he demanded again and again, surely someone desperate would offer up a victim.
Then, he would once more savor human flesh.
He could continue to enjoy his meals regularly from now on.
“Hahaha!”
Laughter burst out of him uncontrollably.
The Water God’s mood reached its peak—
Zash!
“…Huh?”
—and then plummeted to the absolute bottom.
Using Licorice’s magic, we created an illusion—
one that made the Water God believe he had defeated us.
While he was distracted, we used wind platforms to ascend higher,
then dove down all at once, driving every ounce of strength into a strike aimed at his head.
“…Huh?”
Completely off guard, the Water God let out a foolish-sounding grunt.
The Meteor Sword pierced straight into his head.
His defense was strong, so the blade didn’t go all the way through—
—but that was fine.
“With this…”
“Y-you!? You should have been dead…!”
“It’s over!!!”
“Gah!?”
I forced the sword in with all my might.
The Meteor Sword buried itself to the hilt, and the Water God convulsed violently.
But… it wasn’t over yet!!!
“Mountain Break!!!”
I gripped the sword in reverse and unleashed the technique while the blade was still buried.
Gogaaah!!!
A sound like shattering rock echoed—
and the Water God’s head was blown clean off.
His enormous body lost all strength and collapsed slowly.
I pulled the sword free and—
“All right!”
—raised a lone cry of victory.
