I Am the Weakest Cat, but If I Keep Evolving, Can I Become the Strongest? - Episode 46: VS Yeti

Episode 46: VS Yeti

▽ Episode 46: VS Yeti

The enraged Yeti.

The area around him turns white from the moisture evaporating. However, at the same time, the surroundings begin to rapidly freeze.

It’s as if an artificial ice age has begun.

So Rank VI monsters can change even the natural environment to their liking.

Trees freeze over.

Grass and plants on the ground. As all life goes extinct as if time itself stopped, standing to face him is the small fortress-like Ogre — Fortress Ogre-kun.

In his hand, a large shield was equipped.

It’s a shield created with a newly acquired species skill. According to a book I read in the library, there was a discussion about what the strongest melee weapon is.

Wasn’t that related to Greek mythology?

In that book, the strongest melee weapon was considered to be — the shield.

Its potential to block all close-range attacks.

Its overwhelming power to knock away most things when used to strike.

While restraining other weapons, if used to hit, it also possesses destructive power. For Fortress Ogre-kun, whose body is also hard, it’s not just a club to an Ogre — it’s a great shield to an Ogre.

『Aaaaaaaaah!』

Screaming wildly, the Yeti slashes down with his greatsword.

No, rather than slashing down, it should be described as smashing down with brute force. Precisely because he’s humanoid and has technique, his strikes carry his weight and are brutal.

Fortress Ogre meets it head-on.

A blow that would’ve turned me into minced meat.

…Wait, I have [Reverse Scale] now. Since my base is a cat, if it hit me directly, it might at least crack some bones.

At the very least, I’d be blown away and take more than a few injuries.

But Fortress Ogre takes the hit directly, without showing any concern at all.

“Nyaa-nyan.”

Yep.

He seems to have specs good enough to fight even at Rank VI level. He can take most attacks with his shield and body. And he can then just beat the enemy to death once their stamina runs out.

He doesn’t have any firepower-based abilities.

Even so, his combat power is more than enough.

However, he apparently has a worse match-up with Yeti than expected. He’s having his body heat drained by the ice, which must be biologically tough.

At this rate, the one to run out of stamina first will be Fortress Ogre, who’s losing to the cold.

But that’s assuming I’m not here.

“Nyaa ([Fire Ground]).”

It’s a magic that turns the surroundings into scorched earth.

To be precise, it makes flames erupt from the ground in the surrounding area. That raises the temperature.

Actually, the one who was about to die from the cold the most was me.

Since Dragons are reptiles, maybe they’re weak to cold?

Cats also love kotatsu.

(Note:

Kotatsu

)

I was getting suuuper sleepy. I almost hibernated and died before the battle even began. Now that I’ve raised the temperature, I can jump into the fight again.

I leap into the frontlines.

▽

First, I blast [Dragon Breath].

Since I have [Focus], Fortress Ogre-kun doesn’t matter. Piercing straight through my ally’s body, the next moment, a hole is opened in the Yeti’s stomach.

The Yeti vomits a huge amount of bl00d.

That’s overwhelming firepower.

As the enemy reels back, I combine [Super Acceleration], [Hard Blast], and [Flight・Large] to instantly move behind the Yeti.

In response, the Yeti turns his palm toward me and shoots ice stakes.

I use [Counter Gate] to return them, piercing his face — and at the same time, I activate [Gladius Tonitrui] on both my front paws.

“Nyan.”

It’s over.

—The thunderclap sword tears the Yeti’s body clean in half.
