Chapter 5: The True Power of the Unusual Skill [Super Weight]

“My pets!? W-who the hell are you!?”

Garon turned around and shouted.

“I am Elena’s brother, Weiss Sylphied!”

++Phew, that was close. Catching up with the carriage with this sluggish body was much harder than I imagined.++

If I had been a little later, Hero Allen would have shown up by now.

In the game scenario, Hero Allen saved Elena, who was being tormented by beasts, and decided to rescue Princess Celica, who had been abducted.

“Huh!? That good-for-nothing, perverted noble Weiss!?”

Garon’s arm wound began to close up rapidly. As expected, just like in the game, demons seemed to have the characteristic of automatic health regeneration, known as [Regenerate].

++With my current magic attack power, it’s impossible to defeat this guy… I’ll have to use the unique skill [Super Weight], even if it’s a gamble.++

“Weiss-kun!? Why are you here!?”

Celica, who had escaped Garon’s grasp, stared at me in surprise.

“Of course, I’m here to save Celica-sama and Elena!”

“EHHHH!?”

As I declared loudly, Celica was completely taken aback.

++Alright. This clears the first hurdle in changing the scenario.++

“Garon! I’ll defeat you with everything I’ve got!”

Ideally, I’d defeat Garon before the hero Allen arrives and leave this place with the three of us.

If I could do that, I could completely destroy Hero Allen’s chances of enrolling in the academy. It also eliminated the 100% chance of Celica and Elena falling for Hero Allen and becoming his allies.

“Ah, Weiss-nii-sama. You came to save me…!”

Elena, bleeding from her head, was crying tears of joy.

Elena had suffered horrendous injuries. Seeing my little sister in such a state, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

If I’d made one wrong move, she would have died… No, more than that, Hero Allen was way too late.

“But you can’t! You need to run away! No matter how strong you are, Nii-sama, you can’t beat Garon-senpai!”

“Don’t worry, Elena. I won’t let him lay another finger on you!”

After reassuring Elena, I turned to face Garon.

“Tch! Such powerful wind magic… you were hiding your true abilities!? But it’s laughable that you think you can defeat me, now that I’ve become a demon!”

Garon’s bloodlust hit me hard. This was my first real battle since reincarnating, and my opponent was a demon far stronger than me.

My survival instincts screamed at me to run away with all my might.

“What? You’re scared after making such a grand entrance!?”

Garon’s body was covered in clumps of earth. Eventually, it transformed into a shining full-body armor.

“What!? What is that!?”

Celica gasped.

“Surprised? This is the [Diamond Mail]! The ultimate armor born from the combination of my earth magic and the skill [Adamantine]!”

Garon, drunk on his own power, was at the height of his arrogance.

“Tough luck, Weiss! You’ve got no chance of winning!”

In the game, Garon was just a tutorial boss. Story-wise, he was a stepping stone for Hero Allen to achieve the glory of rescuing the Princess.

But when faced with real killing intent, the intimidation is no joke.

“So what!?”

“What!?”

Soon, the Hero Allen, destined to kill me, will arrive. For me, getting involved with him was far more frightening.

++If I don’t break the scenario here, I won’t have a future.++

“I don’t have time. Come at me!”

I boldly provoked Garon.

“Ah, f-for me… you would go this far…!”

Elena seemed to have fainted. I was worried about her, but right now, I needed to focus on defeating Garon.

“You trash with a useless skill! Die regretting your existence!”

Garon kicked off the ground and charged at me. I pulled a small stone from my pocket and activated my skill.

“[Super Weight]!”

Garon’s furious expression froze.

The small stone, launched by my wind magic like a bullet, pierced through his [Diamond Mail] and bored a hole in his body.

“Huh…?”

Garon looked down at the hole in his abdomen in disbelief.

“Ah… Ahhhh!?”

Blood gushed out from the hole.

“What, what is happening!?”

Celica, confused, was panicking.

“Celica-sama. It’s dangerous, so please stay as far away as possible!”

“Eh!? Y-yes, I understand!”

I continued to launch stones with wind magic, riddling Garon with holes. Even with demons having far more HP than humans, this wouldn’t be enough to take him down.

“Impossible!? My [Adamantine] defense… it’s not working!?”

“Of course not! I’m increasing the weight of the stones a thousand times with [Super Weight]!”

“What!?”

The unique skill [Super Weight] made things heavier. At first glance, it seemed like a negative effect.

But having completed the game, I knew its true power.

[Super Weight] allowed me to increase the weight of objects I touched.

I used wind magic to launch stones and simultaneously increased their weight, maximizing the power of the projectile.

“Attack power is basically ‘speed × weight.’ So the combination of wind magic and [Super Weight] is the strongest!”

The small stone, shot at a speed of about 80 meters per second using air pressure like an air gun, weighed around 200 kilograms after being enhanced by [Super Weight]. Its destructive power far surpasses that of a rifle bullet.

If I hit it from close range, it could even shatter diamonds.

“Defense is meaningless against this power!”

“No, that’s impossible!”

Garon’s voice trembled in fear.

My [Super Weight] was a perfect counter to Garon’s [Diamond Mail], specialized for defense.

But I wasn’t unscathed either. Active skills, triggered by the player’s will, consume HP as a cost.

To increase the weight of an object by a thousand times, I had to sacrifice 10% of my HP.

“This is bad. I’m already in the red.”

A red status board popped up in front of me, notifying me that my HP had already dropped below 20%.

Just like in the game, when the risk of total HP loss approaches, the system issues a warning.

“Already in the red…!? Are you insane, using such a reckless skill!?”

Garon’s eyes widened. If your HP reaches zero, you die. That’s only natural. But I’m just level 2.

If I wanted to take down a far superior opponent, I had to deal massive damage right off the bat and not give them any chance to recover.

Besides, I had Celica, a specialist in healing magic, right here.

“Wait!? Weiss-kun, stop doing something so reckless!”

As expected, Celica hurriedly cast healing magic on me. Accompanied by an indescribable comfort, my HP recovered to about 80% of its maximum. Celica may dislike Weiss, but in this situation, I was confident she would support me.

“If Celica is on my side, I have nothing to fear. Garon, disappear!”

I fired another barrage of super-weighted projectiles.

“You bastard!?”

“Weiss-kun, you…!”

Garon was stunned, and Celica-sama let out a breath of admiration.

“Damn it! Then I’ll take the princess as a hostage!”

“Kyaa!? Wait, what!?”

Garon mustered his remaining strength and charged at Celica.

++This is bad. If he takes Celica hostage, I lose.++

“[Wind Dash]!”

“What the…!?”

I accelerated rapidly, propelled by the wind, and got in front of Celica.

This was a technique of [Wind Sword], a swordsmanship style that uses wind magic, which Elena excelled at. Weiss had also diligently trained in [Wind Sword] until he turned 10, so even I could manage this.

“Oh, you’re challenging me to close combat!? You fat pig!”

Garon threw a diamond fist. Celica screamed.

“[Wind Flow]!”

I deflected his fist with my hand, enveloped in wind.

This is also a technique of [Wind Sword]. Instead of blocking the enemy’s attack head-on, you divert the vector of their force and neutralize the attack.

However, I couldn’t fully kill the impact, and my skin tore, sending blood flying. Garon, confident of his victory, smirked—until his face was suddenly overtaken by shock.

“You touched me. You’ve lost!”

I activated [Super Weight], increasing the weight of Garon’s [Diamond Mail] by a thousand times.

“What!? My body…!”

The armor that had once protected him turned into a weapon of his own destruction, crushing him under its immense weight. The sheer pressure forced him to one knee.

“You misjudged. Close combat is where my [Super Weight] skill shines!”

I immediately thrust a dagger into Garon.

At the moment of impact, I increased the dagger’s weight by a thousand times with [Super Weight], multiplying its attack power by a thousand.

“Gehaaaa!?”

The cracked [Diamond Mail] shattered, and Garon was impaled through the chest.

He fell backward and disintegrated into particles of light.

[You’ve defeated Demon Garon! Level up! Level up! Level up!]

The system voice echoed in my head, announcing my level-ups repeatedly. It was just like in the game.

[Congratulations! Your level has increased to 10!]

“From level 2 straight to 10!?”

In this game, defeating enemies of a higher level grants a large amount of experience points.

My original level was 2. Elena’s level was 14. Level 10 was quite high, even among the students of Glorious Knight Academy.

[By defeating a demon with the unique skill [Super Heavy], [Super Heavy] has evolved to level 3.]

[You can now freely control your weight.]

[The condition for evolving to the next level is to defeat 500 monsters using [Super Heavy].]

This was somewhat surprising.

Among unique skills, there are extremely rare ones that become more powerful the more you use them.

So, [Super Heavy] was one of those as well. I was overjoyed.

Probably, level 1 [Super Heavy] was just a skill that made you gain weight easily.

Over the course of five years, it unknowingly leveled up to level 2, gaining the ability to “increase the weight of objects touched,” and Weiss lived without realizing its true power.

This is a much better skill than I thought.

“A-amazing, you won!? Weiss, you defeated a demon!?”

Celica, overcome with joy, hugged me from behind.

“Whoa!?”

I felt an unfamiliar soft sensation pressed against me, and my heart pounded. For me, who had never had a girlfriend in either this life or my previous one, it was too much stimulation.
