The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 155. Orc King Zombie

155. 155. 155. 155. Orc King Zombie

“――Interdimensional Net.”

As I spoke, a net-like object composed of interdimensional space appeared instantly.

It was the same one I used when gathering corpses the other day, a configuration of interdimensional space intertwined like a soccer goal net. However, this time it was about one size larger to accommodate the massive body of the Orc King Zombie.

The interdimensional net floated gently and silently moved forward, colliding with the approaching Orc King Zombie, who was unsuspecting.

“Vuoooo? Vuguuuuuu!”

Blocked by the interdimensional net, the Orc King Zombie halted and growled lowly. It seemed to express discomfort towards the mysterious net hindering its progress.

Displaying irritation, the Orc King Zombie kicked the interdimensional net in front of it vigorously. While it succeeded in immobilizing the zombie momentarily, it obviously didn’t inflict any damage. Alright, from here――

“I got it! So, Matsunaga-san will immobilize it with that black net, and then I’ll attack during that opening!”

Seriphos exclaimed with a bright voice, as if he had just come up with a brilliant idea. Well, that would indeed be the best scenario if we could pull it off.

“No, this net cannot be cut, so it will get in the way when you try to attack with your sword.”

“Eh? That black net can’t be cut at all? That’s a joke, right?”

“I’ve never seen it cut before. Anyway, just watch.”

I focused my attention forward again and maneuvered the interdimensional net to envelop the Orc King Zombie.

The slow movement of the interdimensional net was its drawback. A swift creature could easily evade it.

However, our opponent was a brute monster seemingly confident in its strength. The Orc King Zombie, facing the interdimensional nets closing in from both sides, raised the massive axe it held overhead.

“Vooo!”

With a roar, the Orc King Zombie swung the axe at the interdimensional net.

The axe collided with the interdimensional net, and――

――Bogin!

The axe broke cleanly in the middle of the handle.

The axe blade spun as it flew off somewhere, and I heard Seriphos’ dumbfounded voice.

“Eh? The net doesn’t even have a scratch…?”

“I told you, right? But now, it’s time.”

“Vuo! Vuooooo! Vuo!”

Perhaps angered by the destruction of its beloved axe, the Orc King Zombie grabbed the interdimensional net with its hands and began exerting force to tear it apart.

The massive upper arms of the Orc King Zombie swelled further, and the sound of its muscles straining echoed audibly. However, the interdimensional net remained unaffected.

Meanwhile, the interdimensional net slowly continued to wrap around the Orc King Zombie.

Looking back on it now, it was fortunate that our opponent was a slow-moving powerhouse without much intelligence.

If it were a cunning creature, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. I guess I’m just not cut out for combat to begin with.

Grateful for the compatibility with our opponent, I wrapped the Orc King Zombie with the interdimensional net.

The rounded interdimensional net resembled a cylindrical cell. Inside it, the Orc King Zombie’s massive body was gradually constricted by the interdimensional prison.

“Vuooo, Vruooooo!”

The Orc King Zombie struggled violently, constricted by the inviolable net. But of course, the interdimensional prison remained unmoved.

Bogin!

Soon, a dull sound like something breaking emanated from the Orc King Zombie. Perhaps a bone had shattered somewhere.

――At that moment, our gazes, mine and the Orc King Zombie’s, met for the first time. It may have sensed that I was the one who created this situation.

Glaring at me with eyes full of anger, the Orc King Zombie took a long breath, puffing up its cheeks. And then――

“Buuuuuuuuuuur!”

It aimed at me through the gaps in the net and spat something out from its mouth.

Mixed with saliva and other fluids, I could see a particularly large lump flying towards me.

It was a broken fang. Fangs larger and sharper than human fingers were flying towards me at a tremendous speed. That dull sound from earlier must have been the sound of the Orc King Zombie’s fang breaking.

Was it intentionally broken to attack, or was it a coincidence? I couldn’t tell.

What I could understand now was that if this fang, shot out like a bullet, hit me directly, I would not only be severely injured but could even die if I wasn’t careful.

I had to dodge it right away. But could I really avoid something like this? While pondering, the fang was getting closer to my face at an alarming rate.

The tip of the fang was sharp and stained with black spots and yellowish discoloration, indicating uncleanliness. Just brushing against it could make me sick…

Wait a minute? It dawned on me.

Even though I was carefully observing the fang, it still hadn’t hit me. Moreover, the fang seemed to be moving towards me slowly, as if in slow motion…?

This was… Ah, I see.

It was one of the temporal magic spells, Accelerate Haste.

I had heard from Isezaki-san before that there were such temporal magic spells, so I had tried them during the preparation period of the journey.

However, I had given up halfway because I couldn’t use them at all, but it seemed that I could use them in this critical moment.

Isezaki-san had said it was a magic spell that made the caster move quickly, but it seemed that from the caster’s perspective, it was a magic spell where only they could move normally in slowed time.

In the world where only I was accelerated, I glanced behind me.

Seriphos and Regina were staring at the fang with wide eyes filled with surprise.

From their mouths came deep, elongated voices as if playing a video in slow motion. I had no idea what they were saying.

I took a few steps sideways to get out of the fang’s trajectory and canceled Accelerate Haste.

At that moment, the fang passed by me at a tremendous speed. It was truly terrifying to think it could have hit me.

“Matsunaga-san! Danger――Huh?”

As I heard Seriphos and Regina’s dumbfounded voices from behind, I looked at the Orc King Zombie.

“Vluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!”

The Orc King Zombie, having seen me avoided the counterattack, was roaring in anger. Its ammunition was probably depleted now.

In that case, I just needed to intensify the attack. I tightened the interdimensional net even more. Narrower… smaller… crush even more.

“Vfo, Vo… O, Oo… O…”

The Orc King Zombie, like being pushed into a crowded train, kept narrowing its shoulder width and assuming a cramped posture――

And eventually, with a squelch, it broke into pieces.
