Rather, the magic explosion did leave a small crater on its body, but it was quickly filled and healed by the surrounding black liquid, and it was restored to its original state in an instant.
What's more disgusting than a tough, bloody cow?
The tough, resilient, and highly resilient cow.
Parallel thinking is activated again, and the brain is working at high speed. The previously sluggish thoughts are now spinning like gears, sparking new ideas.
It is not any known monster that has ever appeared in the monster encyclopedia.
After quickly reviewing his memories, Koshimura made a swift judgment.
Challenge level unknown, race unknown, traits unknown, abilities unknown, weaknesses unknown...
What's the point of fighting then?
[Be careful, that guy doesn't have the mark left by the world's will on him.]
A giraffe's voice, tinged with solemnity, echoed in my mind.
In other words... it's very likely that it's not a creature belonging to this world.
what?
At the same time, the monster in the distance had turned around, and two bright yellow lights in its empty skull were locked on Yuecunze.
What, you have golden eyes too?
It let out a low growl, and just as it raised its forelimbs, a blue, shimmering beam of light shot out from its side like a venomous snake.
The cold air spread, freezing its foot, which had not yet fully lifted, to the ground.
Shoko Toyokawa had recovered from the shock and quickly summoned the black keyboard, her fingertips dancing rapidly across the keys.
Two more [freezing rays] followed in quick succession, instantly freezing the two hind limbs that were supporting the body.
Well done, Xiangzi!
Koshimura raised his guitar sword again and unleashed another [Magic Blast] directly in his face.
Facing an enemy whose background is unknown, it is definitely not a wise choice to rush forward and engage in close combat.
So, like kiting a bird, slowly wear it down with ranged spells and crowd control until you probe its strength—
The wind howled, like the lament of the dead.
The gale-force winds lashed across his face like sharp blades, bringing waves of stinging pain.
Ignoring the spells flying from the side, the giant beast abandoned the frozen part without hesitation.
The severed limbs instantly liquefy and detach, then, as if attracted by a magnet, are drawn back to the original break.
The two powerful hind limbs, under the frenzied surge of the black liquid, instantly transformed into a recurved shape suitable for jumping and explosive movements.
The next moment—
The ground cracked open in a spiderweb pattern, and the black shadow, like a cannonball, instantly covered a distance of more than ten meters at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye!
Two bright yellow dots magnified dramatically in Koshimura's field of vision.
Too fast! There wasn't enough time to unleash [Stealth Step].
So, there is only one option:
【Silver Light Sharp Words】!
The whistling wind passed right by his head and slammed into the concrete wall behind him, leaving a huge crater several meters in radius.
Koshimura Sawa swiftly swung his guitar sword, the blade following the starlight that burst forth along with the silver light and sharp words, slashing at the forelimb that was deeply embedded in the wall.
The blade pierced the flesh, but it felt as if it were cutting into a non-Newtonian fluid.
The flowing black liquid instantly dissipated all the kinetic energy transmitted from the blade, and even began to climb upwards along the guitar sword.
Koshimura Sawa knew he was in trouble and quickly drew his sword.
At the same time, the forelimbs that had sunk into the wall had stopped thrashing.
It transformed into a sharp black blade, which was drawn from the wall and swirled towards Koshimura's chest.
Its momentum was like thunder.
Just as the blade was about to touch his chest, Koshimura Sawa completed the release of the [Mysterious Step].
However, it was still a step too late.
The moment the silver mist dissipated, the boy's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the cold wall.
A gruesome wound, deep enough to expose bone, ran across his chest from his left shoulder to his right rib. Blood gushed out like a burst dam, staining his school uniform, which he hadn't had time to change into, and pooling into a small, glaringly crimson puddle beneath him.
It hurts so much...
A chilling despair gradually consumed everything.
In the distance, the monster retracted its black blade, transforming it back into its supporting forelimbs. Its massive skull slowly turned, its bright yellow eyes silently gazing at him.
I could almost hear the sound of plastic colliding; the dice thrown by the goddess of fate finally landed mercilessly.
Attack check: 1d20 + 11 = 28
Damage roll: 2d10+5=14
Even with the agility adjustment value, Koshimura's AC (armor rating) is a pitifully low 12.
This was a near-certain hit.
It is also a judgment that declares death.
Countless fragmented images flashed wildly before his eyes like a runaway slideshow.
The bright sunshine as I walked out of the examination hall, punctuated by the screeching sound of brakes.
Upon arriving in this world, she encounters Chihaya Aine in a hollow, cleans up the living room trash with Nagasaki Motoyo, gets into hilarious misunderstandings with Shiina Tatsuki, discusses penguins and constellations with Takamatsu Akari in the astrology club, and eats bento boxes with Toyokawa Shoko in a nighttime alley...
Byd, why did the carousel start flashing so quickly? This process is too standard!
The edges of my vision began to blur and shrink, darkness surged in like a tide, and in the end only two points of cold, bright yellow that seemed to grow ever more distant.
"Koshimura Sawa?"
Toyokawa Shoko's trembling voice broke the deathly silence.
She practically scrambled to his feet, staring helplessly at the wound on his chest from which blood was gushing. She wanted to reach out and cover it, but was afraid of hurting him. Her hands hung limply in mid-air, her golden eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
"It's alright... Xiangzi, you're still here, aren't you?" Yuecunze gave a weak smile. "Don't you have that... time-reversal ability? We can try a few more times... It's okay."
"That feature has a limited number of uses—"
"But I've used up all my uses for today!!" The mask on the girl's face fell to the ground in haste, and scalding tears streamed down her pale cheeks like broken beads. "I'm done!!"
That's hopeless...
[A. "Xiangzi, in my final moments, I don't want to die as a mere boy from Chu..."]
B. Kiss her
[C. Take off his underwear and put it on his head, shouting "Sodium aluminate!"]
"I'm sorry!" Koshimura Sawa took a deep breath.
Then, to Toyokawa Shoko's astonishment, he cupped her face and kissed her forcefully.
Chapter 54 Wow! (4.4k)
The sensation from the girl's warm lips was as soft as cotton candy; although the initial notes carried a faint bloody smell, the aftertaste was endlessly sweet.
Their lips touched briefly before parting, leaving little room for Yuecun Ze to savor the moment.
He wiped his mouth and looked at the words that appeared before him.
[You have received a reward for selecting the "defying the heavens" option.]

[Note: Wow!!!]
"What are you doing—" Toyokawa Shoko suddenly took a step back, her fair cheeks flushed red, her chest heaving violently. Just as Yueyi R-1-ling ⑦ Bass Qi Si 5 Lu l was about to activate her Spinosaurus form and start breathing, she saw a human head suddenly appear in Koshimura Sawa's hand, with a pointed head, a grinning mouth, and a strange smile.
Under her gaze, with trembling hands, he pushed it into the groove on the guitar sword.
“Wow——!!!”
An indescribable ghostly scream suddenly erupted, echoing throughout the entire underground space.
Toyokawa Shoko felt a sharp, needle-like pain in her eardrums and instinctively covered her ears. She then saw that the wound on Koshimura Sawa's chest was visibly healing. The bleeding was quickly stopped and scabs formed. Although it had not yet returned to its original state, it was at least able to move around with difficulty.
"Xiangzi... help me up." Yuecunze reached out his hand, his voice a little hoarse.
Shoko Toyokawa, recovering from the shock, quickly stepped forward, carefully avoiding the wound on his chest, and helped him up.
Koshimura used the guitar sword to support his body and looked up at the monster standing in the distance, silently staring at him.
They're quite polite; they know not to interrupt the protagonist's transformation.
He took a deep breath and turned to look at Toyokawa Shoko beside him: "Shoko, do you believe me?"
"Hmm." Toyokawa Shoko met his gaze and nodded immediately. As if she suddenly remembered something, she let go of one hand, took something out of her pocket, and put it into Koshimura Sawa's palm.
"What is this...?" Koshimura looked down at the small gray bead in his palm.
Arcane Abeyance (temporarily suspended)
Characteristics of the Time School
When you or a voluntary creature within your reach consumes a spell slot to cast a spell, you can condense the spell's mana into a speck of dust. The spell will be frozen at the moment it was cast and stored in a small gray orb. This orb is an item with 15 AC and 1 health, and is immune to poison and mind damage.
The creature holding the bead can use its actions to cast a spell within it, after which the bead will disappear. The spell uses your spell attack bonus and spell saving DC, but is otherwise considered to have been cast by the creature that released it.
Once you create a small bead using this property, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.
“This contains a sixth-ring [Disintegration Technique],” Toyokawa Shoko explained. “It was… a gift from my mother.”
A force field damage of 10d6+40... one hit and even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured.
Xiang's mom, how come you're still carrying the team? I'm so upset!
