In order to protect Johann, Kon had tried to stop the Pirate King alone and without any equipment. Her body is finally slashed and she loses all her HP. As she turned into particles and disappeared, Kon saw the glowing.

When a giant dragon emerges from the light, confident of their victory, Kon smiles inappropriately.

“Pirate King… it’s your loss, y’all.”

A message was displayed before Johann’s eyes. In it were the effects of the new Skill Hinadora got through the Transcoder.

Evolution Summon: Hinadora

Consumes all MP to Activate. Special Summons Chrono Dragon or Metal Black Dragon in the Summoner’s storage.

“I see…” Johann muttered. “If you were to reproduce Virtumon Evolution in GOO, it would look something like this!”

You could say it’s a very powerful Skill, allowing you to use the exceptionally powerful Chrono Dragon without having Advanced Summoning.

“That means… if I use the Transcoder on Inukoro, I can also call War Fenrir, right? Huh, wait! Isn’t this already a godly item?”

Johann’s eyes shine suspiciously.

“Alright, let’s go Chrono Dragon! Beat him up and make him drop more Transcoders!”

“…” Chrono Dragon stares at its master.

“Hey, what’s with those eyes…?” Johann said. “I know, you know…for everyone who believed in me…I’m sure I’ll win…right?!”

“GURAAAAHHH!” Chrono Dragon roars.

(Crimson eyes, black monozoid metal exterior, shields on both shoulders… two horns inherited from Hinadora’s design… no matter how you look at it, he’s too handsome…)

“Ufufu… my Chrono Dragon… it’s SO cool…!”

Johann slurps back up the drool dripping down her lips.

“Gehahahahahaha,” the Pirate King laughs.

Now that Kon is gone, he attacks Chrono Dragon next. Chrono Dragon is about 6 meters tall. On the other hand, the Pirate King’s body is the same as a normal human’s. Normally, he wouldn’t be a match for this creature.

“Gehahahaha!”

The Pirate King leaps high and strikes Chrono Dragon’s head with his sword. Chrono Dragon guarded by crossing his claws, but the enemy’s offensive power was tremendous, the impact made him fall backward.

“Chrono Dragon!?” Johann yelled.

Advanced Summoned Beasts have the strength of a player about level 50. As expected, it would be tough to deal with a raid boss alone.

“That’s right. This is a game. Evolving doesn’t mean victory! Or something like that. I have to lead my baby to victory.”

Johann checked Chrono Dragon’s Skill from the menu. Normally, a huge amount of MP is required to summon an Advanced summoned beast. That’s why its Skills should be powerful… however:

“Wha! Only one Skill!?”

Just like Intermediate beasts, you can only use one Skill at first. If you don’t have Advanced Summoning, you can’t release Advanced beast Skills. Johann thought it was all over.

“… No, I can win with this.”

There was only one Skill that Chrono Dragon could use by itself. But, that 1 Skill was all it needed.

“Let’s go, Chrono Dragon… Activate Skill—Time Maker.” 1

At that moment, the light starts shining from Chrono Dragon’s back. It spreads like the wings of a butterfly, and eventually envelops the entire field. And in the sky, a number of magic formations that resembled clocks appeared. The underground lake transforms into a completely alien space.

“By this effect, Chrono Dragon can activate all Skills Activated during this battle!”

Chrono Dragon’s ability is to carry the thoughts of its allies and even its enemies, before it soars into the future with its wings.

All the Skills used in this battle are listed before Johann’s eyes. These are the thoughts left behind by Zecca, Remma, Solo and Kon. This is their battle, for the moment.

“…But, as expected, I’m still getting beaten up… right?” Johann said.

She smiled wickedly. After downing Chrono Dragon, the Pirate King jumped up to the ceiling and kicked off it to accelerate. He just swings his sword downward.

“Chrono Dragon—All Steal!!”

The Pirate King’s body was wrapped in a tornado effect.

“‘Pirate King’s Hat’” has been moved to Johann’s Item Storage.”

“‘Pirate King’s Clothes’ has been moved to Johann’s Item Storage.”

“‘Pirate King’s Ring’ has been moved to Johann’s Item Storage.”

“‘Pirate King’s Fighting Sword’ has been moved to Johann’s Item Storage.”

“‘Pirate King’s Mantle’ has been moved to Johann’s Item Storage.”

“Gehahahahahahaha… huh?” the Pirate King mutters.

He’s had all of his equipment stolen. Now, he’s no more than just a golden skeleton.

“Chrono Dragon—Triple Slash!!”

She intercepts with Solo’s Three-Sword Style offensive Skill. Chrono Dragon strikes three times with its sharp claws, using them like swords. With all his equipment stolen and his Defense greatly reduced, they hit the Pirate King directly.

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

Items drop from the Pirate King’s body. But she doesn’t have time to pick them. This is her chance.

“Let’s finish this, Chrono Dragon!!”

“GURUUUAAAAAA!”

The Chrono Dragon grabbed the Pirate King’s body with its gigantic claws and slammed it into a rock. Then it did it again, and again, and again.

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

It seems the Pirate King’s Defense is all but gone without his equipment. Looters’ End keeps activating as if the hardships with Kon and the others were all faked.

And the number of Items falling out gradually increases to 10, 20, and 30. Equipment is never returned, however.

“I’m hoping you can understand how we felt when we couldn’t fight how we wanted to?” Johann asked.

When Chrono Dragon leaped into the air, it put the Pirate King into its hand, and then slammed him to the ground.

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

“The Pirate King’s Skill ‘Looter’s End’ has been Activated.”

The Pirate King’s HP was already less than 10%.

“This is the Finisher! Our coup de grace–Dual Slash!!”

As the Pirate King tried to stagger to his feet, Chrono Dragon attacked him with two consecutive attacks.

“So fast… he dodged?!” Johann cried.

The Pirate King disassembles his body to avoid the attacks. He’s faster than before. And without reassembling his disjointed bones, each curve at a random trajectory and attacks from there. The speed of those bones is not the same as before, it’s so fast. If you look at them, they’re surrounded by a blue aura. With less than 10% remaining HP, a new attack pattern has emerged.

“Give me back…. GIVE ME BACK ME TREASURRRREEEEEE!!”

The Pirate King’s voice echoes in the underground lake. It did seem like he was cursing the living to the depths of hell, Johann got goosebumps.

(Voice actor-san, aren’t you doing too good a job?) Johann thought.

She looks for countermeasures at the same time.

“Kuh… Luminous Eternal… I’ll manage with this.”

A magic circle spreads across the field to protect Johann from the many enemy attacks. With this, she no longer has to worry about her HP dropping down to 0.

“At this rate, Chrono Dragon will be…”

The all-out, all-angles attacks of the bones gradually cut down Chrono Dragon’s HP. But Luminous Eternal helped it manage. But the MP is also a problem. Like the Chaos Apocalypse set, MP is not consumed when activating Skills with Time Maker’s power. However, summoned beasts consume MP just by existing, and disappear when it reaches 0.

Chrono Dragon’s MP gradually decreased even while doing nothing. There is no time.

“… What should I do?” Johann asked.

“Return… ME TREASURRREEE!” the Pirate King yelled.

""

“Treasure… right!” Johann cried.

With a flash of inspiration, Johann opens her item storage. She takes out the Pirate King’s Ring that Chrono Dragon stole earlier with All Steal. Then, she tosses it on the ground.

“Treasure… TREEEEAAAAASSSSSUURRRRRREEEE!”

The scattered bones all converge around the Pirate King’s Ring. He reassembles, picks up the ring, and tries to put it back on one of his finger-bones… Johann doesn’t miss the opportunity.

“Now Chrono Dragon! Grand Cross!!”

Zecca’s strongest technique is unleashed through Chrono Dragon. When a cross-shaped slash hits the defenseless Pirate King directly, it smashes his body into pieces. From the now-still corpse, the stolen items overflow like a waterfall.

“ZEEHAHAHAAAA!”

Is it laughter, or is his death cry? Before long, the Pirate King’s body became like a black mist and dispersed.

“Did I win? I won! Zecca-chan, Remma-chan, I did it!!”

In the underground lake, Johann’s voice of joy echoed off the walls.
