What does it mean to be undefeatable?

What does it mean to have strength that would never lose?

For those who fought, it was an eternal proposition as well as a goal to strive for.

How could the vast amount of skills, divine magic, and arcane magic be combined to create an absolutely unbeatable existence?

Anyone who had reached Level 100 would have thought about this at least once. One of them, the Vampire Princess Benetnash, reached her own answer. It involved high HP and percentage HP regeneration.

A law existed that restricted the upper limit of damage in Midgard to less than 100,000. Therefore, if one's maximum HP was increased to the point where the percentage HP regeneration would recover 99,999, then the damage taken would be nullified in the next moment, no matter what kind of attack it was.

Theoretically, it would be impossible to lose. In fact, Benetnash herself embodied this principle, as any damage done to her would be fully healed in an instant. Of course, this wasn’t the only thing that made her powerful, but one could say that defense was her greatest asset. Therefore, she never needed to take any defensive actions during combat and could focus only on attacks without hiding any card up her sleeve.

And right now, there was another being that perfectly embodied this principle.

“■■■■■■……■■■■”

The mutant god howled. Its form, voice, and scent—everything that it was composed of—caused intense discomfort in others, turning sanity into madness.

Despite its nightmarish existence, Aigokeros stood before it without any mental disturbance. After all, Aigokeros was the devil king whose existence would reduce one’s sanity, so they were evenly matched in that sense.

The huge evil god and devil king fought once more as Libra looked up at them and muttered.

“The time required for its wounds to start regenerating…is 0.05 second. The time required for complete recovery is 0.6 second. This is rather troubling, isn’t it?”

Pisces frowned upon hearing her mechanical voice. It took less than a second to complete its regeneration. The speed was so fast that it would be imperceivable to normal humanoids and magical beasts. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was almost completely healed at the same time it was damaged.

Of course, they could cut in before it was completely healed. It was certainly possible to launch an attack within a hundredth of a second and damage it before its regeneration could start. No matter how ridiculous the speed of its regeneration was, it could be overwhelmed by a barrage of attacks that was even faster. In other words, they could just hit it faster than it could regenerate.

For example, if Benetnash was here, she could hit the mutant god with dozens of light attacks in the time it took to regenerate once. It would be almost dead in an instant. Ironically, the most effective way to overwhelm Benetnash’s invincibility was her own fighting style. Although it would be slightly slower, Ruphas could also overwhelm an opponent with a similar barrage of attacks.

However, neither the Vampire Princess nor the Black-Winged Overlord was here. Instead, it was Aigokeros, Libra, and Pisces.

“We just need to damage it faster than it can regenerate. That’s all.”

“That’s not realistic, considering that its level is higher than ours. It isn’t a sandbag that can be beaten without it fighting back. It’s not possible to attack it unilaterally.”

Pisces made a proposition while evading the attacking tentacles, but it was shot down by Libra immediately. As mentioned before, attacking faster than its regeneration was certainly a solution. It wasn’t a mistake.

However, the opponent would naturally fight back, defend, and evade. It might even use skills to heal itself further. In other words, there must be an overwhelming difference in speed in order to implement this tactic, such that one must move to a smaller time scale and leave the opponent behind.

But the speed of the mutant god and Libra and the others were…about the same. Naturally, this was an ultra-high-speed battle that took place on a different time scale and could not be followed by ordinary combatants. The aforementioned tactic would not be easy to implement when they were fighting on the same stage.

“Besides…we fortunately have someone who is the natural enemy of regeneration specialists. Just watch.”

Libra pointed her finger at the side of the evil god. This was the spot where Aigokeros had damaged it earlier, but it still had not regenerated. The head, which was pierced by Libra’s harpoons, and the body, which was burned by Pisces’ roar, had almost completely regenerated. Only that wound persisted without regenerating.

Aigokeros’ attacks inflicted an irreversible curse. Once wounded, the damage could not be healed until the curse expired after a certain period of time. Divine magic and using items were ineffective. Even amputating the damaged part would not help. Furthermore, even elixirs and amrita were useless against this ability. In other words, Aigokeros was the natural enemy of the mutant god.

“Is your plan to just rely on him? I don’t really care for that.”

“In that case, would you like to be the main attacker? Your unique skill…is called AlreschaAlrescha (アルレシャ), also called Alpha Piscium, is a binary star in the constellation of Pisces. Its name is derived from Arabic, meaning “the cord.” There are some variations in its spelling, such as Al Rescha, Alrischa, and Alrisha., right? But, well, you can’t use it, right?”

“Stop joking. I’m not going to use it on such an ugly opponent.”

“That’s what I thought, so please don’t complain and stay focused on providing support.”

“Whatever. Start fighting already! How much longer do I have to fight by myself!?”

Aigokeros shouted at both of them, who were still discussing tactics. He had been hitting the evil god all this time and it was starting to get tough.

Libra immediately took action without answering his question. She bent her knees out of her skirt as if preparing to jump. The parts that were not usually visible due to being covered by the skirt had the characteristic joints of a golem. The parts that were her knees opened up and fired shells from within. They hit the evil god and exploded, while Pisces immediately followed up with an attack.

“Maelstrom!”

This high-level Water-attribute arcane magic created a swirl of water to attack the enemy, hitting the evil god and sealing its movements. However, Aigokeros did not take the opportunity to escape. As if he had been waiting for this, he shot a black bolt that bored into the evil god’s chest.

But the evil god’s vitality was not to be trifled with. After being shaken momentarily, it moved all its tentacles as if it had received no damage. They struck in all directions towards the three of them.
