I Was Reincarnated with OP Invincibility, so I’ll Beat ’em Up My Way as an Action-Adventurer

120. Reliable, Huh?

Jack and I stood side by side, facing the giant Demon General.

“Despite being nearly ten times smaller, you deflect my fists.”

Victim muttered.

“Is that strength from the [Code Beast]? It feels similar to the full-power attacks of Gyrasvrim—same nature, the same type of power…”

Is he calmly trying to assess our capabilities?

He just stands there without attacking.

But we can’t afford to wait.

Beyond the wall, Lilith, Alice, and the others are under Zarea’s assault—

“Jack.”

“Yeah.”

At my signal, the dark-blue Beast Knight leaped forward.

We had already planned everything.

Jack attacks, while I defend and support.

We’ll take him down quickly and decisively.

We will bring him down—

“A full-force strike after a charge, huh? Simple, yet dangerous for that very reason. Then—Ash Gu Var Mel.”

A whirlwind arose, halting Jack’s movement.

—No.

“Rrrrrrraaahhhh!”

With a roar, the Beast Knight pressed forward step by step.

Amid the violent winds, he pushed forward with sheer leg strength.

His absurdly enhanced physical abilities making it possible.

—[Alter].

I summoned a rainbow-colored orb to my chest.

My job is to support Jack.

There’s only one skill I need to use here—

“Oh? Countering high-level wind magic with brute strength, are you? In that case—Ga Bel Ku Dire!”

Victim cast the next spell—or at least tried to.

“Hmm…!? The spell—”

It didn’t activate.

“I’ve sealed it.”

I declared.

I had anticipated he would cast a follow-up spell.

That’s why I shifted my skill’s form just now.

A form that nullifies magical activation—

[Barrier Phase].

The already active whirlwind wouldn’t disappear, but the new spell was rendered inert.

In that brief moment of confusion, Jack closed the distance further.

“Rrrrrrraaahhh!”

With a fierce war cry, the Beast Knight threw a punch.

“Using Vim-Force’s skills for immense power… Impressive.”

Victim’s body burst.

No—only parts of the rock armor covering his body shattered, absorbing the blow.

He used the recoil to deflect Jack’s punch.

Reactive armor—it’s like a living shield.

“Damn… In that case—”

Jack shot me a glance.

There was no time for lengthy discussions in the middle of a fight.

“I’ll block everything.”

With a brief exchange of eye contact and those words, we understood each other perfectly.

Jack charged in again.

“I won’t let you close in!”

Victim launched the rocks covering his body like arrows and unleashed attack spells to keep Jack at bay.

But every attack was blocked by my skill.

Jack accelerated, closing in on the giant once more.

“Rrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!”

His roar this time was even more ferocious as he raised his fist.

The dark blue armor glowed a blinding red.

His claws and limbs extended, wings sprouted from his back,

and his wolf-like mask morphed into an even more menacing form.

“What the—?”

I stared in shock.

It no longer looked like a Beast Knight.

It resembled… a dragon.

“This… isn’t [Code Beast]…? Could it be—”

Victim sounded surprised, too.

“[Code Lindwurm]!?”

Encased in red phosphorescence, Jack slammed his fist into Victim’s shin.

The sound of impact echoed like an explosion.

“It’s useless. My body repels everything and withstands any attack.”

With those words, the rock armor shattered again, just as before.

He let Jack get this close because he was utterly confident in his defense.

“Damn.”

Jack was blown back by the powerful recoil.

But this time—

“—What!?”

Victim let out a confused cry.

The shattered rocks bounced in midair—

And struck the Demon General directly.

I had used my skill to reflect the deflected rocks back at him.

Just as I had told Jack—I would block everything.

“You…! Damn you!”

Even though the damage wasn’t severe, the unexpected counterattack threw Victim off balance.

“Well done, Haruto. I’ll finish this—”

Jack seized the opportunity and charged again.

He kicked off the ground, leaping toward Victim’s head.

His wings unfurled, and he glided through the air—

“Graaaah!”

With a roar, his glowing red fist struck.

Caught off guard, Victim couldn’t activate his reactive armor in time,

and the blow sent him flying into the wall behind him.

“Overpowered… by these insignificant mortals…? Impossible…”

Victim stared at us in disbelief.

“Reliable, huh.”

Jack glanced at me and muttered, with what looked like a grin.

I nodded back.

We can do this—we’re in sync, and it’s working.

With our teamwork, we’ll corner Victim.

But it’s not just about winning.

We need to defeat or drive him off quickly—

and regroup with Lilith and the others.

I kept my stern gaze fixed on the giant Demon General.
