The Great Yomotsuikusa, which was covered in the blood of its others and its own blood, bared its fangs and roared before charging towards its new prey with its piercing, bloodshot eyes gleaming.

Its Yomotsushikome and Yomotsuikusa brethren were falling without even having the time for their powerful regenerative abilities to kick in, but it didn't care about that.

"It's just a monster that simply obeys its powerful urge to kill. There's nothing left that resembles a human mind," Amemiya Hiroto murmured, releasing ten magical light-attribute attacks simultaneously at the Great Yomotsuikusa facing him.

The Great Yomotsuikusa roared as it ignored the small, firefly-sized spells and charged straight for Hiroto.

It didn't even feel hunger; it had a powerful instinct that desired combat instead. This instinct had told it that it would be meaningless to avoid the attacks.

The Great Yomotsuikusa had no scales or skin, but it possessed an armor of tough muscle fibers and incredible regenerative properties. Even if the surface muscles were injured a little, they would return to normal within seconds.

However, the weak spells that should have been repelled by the Great Yomotsuikusa's body surface instead pierced through its armor of muscle fibers.

It let out a groan of pain as its muscle fibers and bones were pierced through as if they were made of tofu. They immediately began regenerating, but the damage was enough to cause it to lose its balance and tumble towards the ground.

And then countless sharp metal spikes extended from the ground that it fell onto, easily piercing the Great Yomotsuikusa's flesh.

"It seems that you don't have any vital organs, so I'm sorry, but I've filled your entire body with holes. I'll pray that you don't have a sense of pain," Hiroto told the Great Yomotsuikusa, which was now a writhing pile of mincemeat, as he undid his ability.

"Unrivalled as always, aren't you?" said the 'Avalon' Rikudou Hijiri,

"It's just difficult to use," Hiroto said, referring to his own ability.

In addition to his affinity for all seven attributes, Amemiya Hiroto also possessed seven special abilities. Chant Revocation and Multi-Cast were the easier-to-use abilities among them, but the Ignore Defense ability that he had just used on the Great Yomotsuikusa was difficult to use.

It was a simple, powerful ability that rendered all defenses useless against Hiroto's attacks, but because it was simple, one wrong step would cause disaster.

For example, if he fired a rifle while using Ignore Defense, no matter what the target tried to use as a shield, the bullets would pierce through and find their mark. But the bullets wouldn't stop there; they would keep going, piercing the people and buildings behind the target, until they came to a stop naturally.

If he were to use it along with a spell like Exploding Flame Projectile, he would cause an amount of damage that could only be described as a catastrophe. Everything within the explosion's radius, whether it be reinforced concrete or the ground itself, would fall apart like Styrofoam.

If he was careless in using this, Hiroto himself wouldn't escape unscathed, either.

It wasn't as convenient as attacks in video games that ignored only the enemy's defense.

And since it only ignored defense, this ability had the weakness of not functioning if the enemy fired an offensive spell back as their defense.

"Don't be so modest, Braver. Let's go and avenge everyone," said Hijiri.
