Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

Although he hasn't reached the level of a paladin, he's much stronger than before.

If it were based on her previous strength, she would at most try to stop the other party. Now that she has finally become stronger, her goals are naturally bigger.

If her uncle, a paladin, could hold off six divine beasts, she should have no problem taking care of one, right?

With this simple thought in mind, Erica spotted the mythical wild boar. Erica charged at it, prepared her victory speech, and then—

Erica typed GG at lightning speed.

There was a loud "bang".

She was hit directly by the shockwave and her body was smashed into the rubble of the building.

Clearly, she did not understand the gap between herself and the divine beast, that is, the gap between the first and second tiers.

Not to mention, even among the many mythical beasts, this wild boar is among the strongest, no less than the top-tier dragons and snakes.

In fact, if Erica hadn't become stronger, she might not have been subjected to such a fierce attack.

After all, in the eyes of the divine beast boar, the mere Grand Knight was nothing more than a mayfly.

But she became several times stronger, and her hostility was so obvious. She had evolved from an ant into an annoying mosquito.

The mythical beast wild boar, representing rage, could not tolerate such an existence and launched an attack.

It was only thanks to Erica's significant improvement and timely use of the Senate's magic to defend herself that she survived the attack.

"Oops!"

After struggling to prop up her nearly broken body, Erica suddenly realized that something even more terrifying awaited her than her humiliating defeat.

That is, the slightly reddish eyes of the mythical wild boar, and its hooves that were constantly twitching and swaying.

This posture makes it seem like they've completely locked onto me and want to eliminate me completely!

It was just a poke in your nose, why are you holding such a grudge?

Sensing the danger to her life and witnessing the overwhelming power of the divine beast over ordinary life forms, Erica despairingly realized that she now had almost no way to break out of this predicament.

After becoming stronger thanks to the technology given to her by Su Mo, she was no longer confident in successfully casting the Sacred Word of Power, which she had previously had little chance of doing so. Now, she has a 30% chance of successfully casting it.

If she can successfully use this Saint-level magic, she will gain the divine annihilation privilege, enough to harm a disobedient god.

With this privilege, she will surely be able to inflict effective damage on the divine beast.

The problem is, the mythical wild boar is so big, and she is so small.

Fighting the mythical wild boar with this magic is like wielding a needle against a razor blade.

Even if you can kill me, I can still stab you...

Isn't this seeking death?

Decisively abandoning this suicidal fighting style, she chose to back down.

No matter how Rin might mock her afterward, she should still ask for help.

and so--

"Lord Su Mo, help me!!!"

·

Upon seeing Erica's mournful cry in the chat group, Rin Tohsaka felt a tremor in her heart.

[Rin Tohsaka: "What happened, Erica? What danger did you encounter?"]

At this critical moment, she was still very worried about her friend.

[Kanae: "Erica! Describe the situation first so Mr. Su Mo can make a judgment."]

Kanae: "If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know!"

[Xiaoyuan: "Yes, yes, if it can help Erica-neechan, please let me know!"]

Erica's good interpersonal skills paid off, and everyone in the group was willing to lend a helping hand.

Before everyone could tag him at once, Su Mo, who had just finished reflecting on his thoughts, also chimed in.

[Su Mo: "Report the crisis type, level, and acceptable processing time."]

[Su Mo: "@Erica."]

Unlike others, Su Mo's words contained no unnecessary comfort; they were calm and efficient.

Erica felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she saw everyone's concern.

The girls in the group are all such good kids.

After seeing Su Mo's inquiry, for some reason, almost everyone in the group felt a sense of relief.

Erica immediately began her report.

Erica: "We've encountered an enemy, a divine beast, at level two! It has completely locked onto me; there's no escape!"

Erica: "As for an acceptable processing time... ten!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Ten minutes?"

Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Erica's message had been interrupted.

That's good; we should have time to discuss countermeasures.

Given Su Mo's demonstrated intelligence, even at his worst, he should be able to help Erica find a way to escape, right?

To her surprise, Erica's reply followed immediately.

Erica: "Nine!"

Erica: "Eight!"

Rin Tohsaka: "..."

So you were counting down the seconds all along?!

010 Second-tier strength, dimensional leap?

"How do we find a way to defeat the legendary beast within ten seconds?"

No, it's seven seconds now!

After figuring out what was going on, young Rin clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.

[Rin Tohsaka: "How is this possible?!"]

Death's scythe is within reach. Even someone as intelligent as Su Mo wouldn't be able to find a solution in such a limited time, right?

Not only her, but everyone else also subconsciously felt despair.

Kanae covered her mouth, and tears immediately welled up in her purple pupils.

Erica is clearly the strongest among them, yet she is the first to face the crisis of death, with almost no chance of survival.

Is life really so unpredictable?

Are good people really that easy to get into danger?

Xiao Yuan, who had the least experience, stood there stunned, almost in tears.

However, just as several people in the group were beginning to mourn the passing of their outstanding member, Su Mo's sudden reply shocked everyone.

[Su Mo: "Understood. Just invite me to your world."]

Erica: "7!"

Erica: "Ah? Lord Su Mo, there's no need for that! Before a divine beast-level being, our first-tier strength is meaningless. There's no need for further casualties!"

Erica: "5!"

Even though time was running out and she had already witnessed the divine beast boar's charge, Erica still rationally chose to refuse the lifeline Su Mo offered.

She was indeed a bit arrogant because of her youthful genius, and she did choose to challenge the divine beast because she wanted to prove herself.

But, setting aside all personal motives, she is still a knight.

As a knight, it is my duty to protect the people and my friends.

Even if Su Mo hadn't helped her before, given her personality, she wouldn't use a stranger as a scapegoat.

She knew that Su Mo's strength had already reached the next level, but having personally challenged a divine beast, she now understood that in the face of a divine beast going all out, strength at the same level was meaningless.

That's a crushing defeat in terms of scale.

Given the intelligence Su Mo displayed, Erica felt he shouldn't do something so foolish as to try to stop a chariot with his bare hands.

Of course, as the one being helped, she also had to admit that she was moved by Su Mo's behavior of completely disregarding his personal safety.

Which girl hasn't hoped for someone willing to risk everything for her?

The trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress may be old, but it has never lacked an audience.

In that split second between life and death, Erica felt a surge of emotion, a tender feeling tinged with pink bubbles.

But in the next instant, this pink bubble was punctured by Su Mo's next words.

[Su Mo: "I'm now at the second tier of strength."]

4!

A concise sentence silenced the entire group.

Almost simultaneously, everyone typed a question mark.

Xiaoyuan: "?"

Kanae: "?"

Rin Tohsaka: "?"

Just two minutes ago, they had seen that Su Mo had advanced from level zero to level one.

Only two minutes have passed so far. Even if the flow of time is different in each world, there shouldn't be much difference.

In this short period of time, Su Mo leveled up again, surpassing Erica and becoming the strongest in the chat group.
