Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 122.1. The Invincible Man
-Masatoshiâs POV-
Genshin Nagamasa. Heâs a man who betrayed the imperial family for a stupid reason, wanting to test his power in a world of chaos. He said that if he killed the Emperorâs top leaders, Japan would become a land of chaos like in the Warring States Period.
Not only that, but he went on to kill the Emperorâs top officials one after another.
Ostensibly, he was said to have died along with Teijo Mashiro. He was Mashiroâs killer, whom Ambrose Ninny was looking for.
There were doubts whether such a thing would happen. After all, the Emperorâs authority was so strong at the moment that Mashiroâs disappearance alone would not cause much confusion. It was a painful failure of Masatoshi, the god.
After all, the story works as it was originally written. Masatoshi shouldnât have doubted.
âFather, leave this to me and defeat Poison Treant. That poison is dangerous.â
âHmm, okay, I get it. Letâs get rid of it and get out of here.â
âYes, sir.â
It would take time to defeat Nagamasa. If the poison filled the air during that time, we would lose. Therefore, his father nods back at Masatoshi, who tells him he will take on Nagamasa.
He also remembers to wink. Masatoshi trusts his father will realize what this means.
Heâd like to show his cool self to Sena to make her like him, but he doesnât have time. He didnât use the magic stone Ima Hama had prepared because the one he had prepared was more expensive.
Since there was no character named Ima Hama in the original story, he didnât expect to get betrayed. Even Masatoshi, being a god, couldnât know what wasnât written.
Perhaps Ima Hama was a small fry. What the hell, Nagamasa and Yoshikage? He should have asked the bastard Ima Hamaâs name. It is unforgivable to cheat a divine victory.
âKuku, thatâs good. I guess Iâll kill the kid first.â
With a chuckle, the giant Nagamasa stepped in with a thud. Heâs a bastard with a nasty smile. He reminds Masatoshi of a punk with a strong fighting spirit who thought he could do whatever he wanted at school.
In his previous life. Heâd won like an ordinary person, casually keeping his distance.
âYouâre a kid too. You think you can compete with me?â
He should still be 14 years old at this point. Nagamasa believes he could manage everything by force. Thatâs what happens when a powerful person gets a little bit crazy in the head.
Nagamasa equipped his special magical armor, Genbu Kou. Itâs metallic green and heavily armored. The armor shines like scales.
Itâs a magic armor that emphasizes defensive power. Masatoshi, who knows its performance from the original story, has a smile and holds the glaive he carries on his back.
He knows the power of that magic armor and Nagamasaâs unique magic. Knowing its weakness, Katsutoshi thinks. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Masatoshi canât win.
Heâs no match for him. Weâre too incompatible. Or rather, thatâs an opponent who exerts tremendous power against anyone other than Shin.
However, he has a secret plan. He has prepared well for the possibility of fighting Nagamasa.
The other enemy probably wonât fight. From his character, he probably intends to leave this place.
As a reincarnated person, Yamiyo probably has a trump card or two. He believes she can save Takano Miu. If she canât, her future will be a depressing one.
He feels a little guilty, but since there is no way to save her, there is nothing he can do. Itâs somewhat heartbreaking, but heâs in danger too.
âLetâs go!â
âKakakakete!â
Masatoshi stuttered out of fear as he tried to answer him coolly.
Nagamasa sits back slightly and then steps out and comes toward Masatoshi. With a thud, the ground popped, leaving a small crater in his wake, and he brought out his fist.
[Crimson Crystal Shield Change]
Masatoshi immediately manipulated his remaining 26 crimson lotus crystals and deployed them in front of himself.
Starting from six crystals, a magic circle was drawn, and a red, glowing, translucent magic shield was born.
Nagamasaâs fist touched the magic shield, and his attack was blocked and repelled. Reeling from the recoil, Nagamasa staggers backward.
âWow, that looks better than the shield you used.â
Nagamasa laughed, his bear-like face turning into an expression of amusement.
âOf course it is. Because this time Iâm operating it myself!â
The magic shield deployed in front of Masatoshiâs eyes has 4 layers. Masatoshi tells him, with a twitch in his mouth, that it protects against any attack.
Masatoshi wonders if he wonât give up on this, but Nagamasa, on the contrary, looks like heâs enjoying himself and bends his fist to his waist.
âThatâs good. Youâre the third one to prevent my attack!â
âG, give up and surrender!â
âYour mouth is trembling, huh?â
Nagamasa sets up again. Sprinkling dust and making dents in the ground as he approaches, he looks like a boar. Moreover, he tries to get into a speed that is difficult to see.
âI wonât let you do it!â
Placing his shield in front of him, Masatoshi holds out his palm and kneads his mana.
[Lovers]
A large ditch runs sideways in front of the rushing Nagamasa. Lava spews out of the ditch. Nagamasa, who was rushing at high speed, entered the lava without stopping.
Some of the poison treants that appeared in the ditch are also approaching, and they jump into the lava too.
The poison treants burn like matchsticks and turn to ashes before the superheat melts the rock and turns it into a river.
âDie, you son of a bitch!â
However, breaking through the lava, Nagamasa emerges, not a single scorch, and delivers a fist.
Masatoshi deploys 4 layers of magic shields again to block Nagamasaâs fist, but the configuration of one layer of magic shields gets distorted, and the crystal that was the fulcrum shatters.
âWhat power! Damn it!â
[Crimson Lotus Crystal Spear Change]
The crystals formed by the magical shield of the 4 layers are released and merged into a single spear.
âWoah!â
[Crimson Lotus Spear]
Holding the glaive at his side, Masatoshi unleashes a martial art. Swinging sideways, the glaive slices and burns through Nagamasa with its red-hot blade.
Full power is swung from the lower left. Facing the red-hot glaive, Nagamasa raises his arm to guard.
However, this action was the opening Masatoshi was aiming for. The floating spear of flame accelerated and hit Nagamasa squarely in the face.
With a gurgle of flame, Nagamasaâs face is covered in a blaze of high heat.
âYou did it, Masatoshi!â
But Nagamasa lightly grabs the spear stuck in his head and easily shatters it. The flames that had covered him get stirred away, and an uninjured Nagamasa appears with a grin and a sneer.
[God Fist]
Nagamasa raised his fist, concentrated his mana, then held it lightly at his waist. Clothed in mystical red particles, Nagamasa came with his martial arts to Masatoshi.
