ONE LAST ROUND WITH THE DULLAHAN

Shocked gazes were seen as everyone was quite surprised who just appeared in their sights again. Currently, everyone was summoned to the gate of the town once again so our team of misfits decided to join in and see what was happening and, oh boy! Guess who's back? That's right! Its Verdia! And seems like the guy had a bit of an upgrade since the last time he fought Y/n.

Y/n: seems like he got a bit of a upgrade since the last time he fought me.

Uhh.. yeah that's what I just said. Anyway, Verdia now with his new look was standing in the same place he stood in last time he was here, but one thing was different. He was emitting a very violent and intimidating aura unlike before.

Y/n: he seems to be emitting a very violent and intimidating aura unlike before.

Stop saying what i'm saying! I'm the narrator here, Not you! Ahem!... moving on, A few moments had passed until he finally spoke up.

Verdia: last time I visited you all... I got bested by a lowly TWERP! But I was naive and foolish then, so I naturally lost from the beginning. But! Now that I had time to reflect on myself, I realized... that, from the very beginning...

Verdia then lifted his new sword and pointed it to the townspeople, but more specifically, he was pointing it at Y/n. he then speaks once again.

Verdia: I should have killed YOU ALL!!! So now, i'm here to do what I was supposed to... and that is to WIPE YOU ALL OUT!!! UNDEAD MINIONS ATTACK!!!

Suddenly undead warriors rose from the ground and onto the field. The undead minions were equipped with all sorts of weaponry like swords, shields, wands, bow and arrows and more. This didn't look good for the would be "heroes" as the undead army charged right for them!

Kazuma: Ah Shit! Here we go again! What do we do Y/n!?

Y/n: i'm thinking! I'm thinking! Hold on! Umm....

Y/n was literally sweating bullets at that very moment. He never expected for Verdia to show up again, and with new armor and with a very strong bloodlust no less. He tried so desperately to think of a solution until, DING! He struck gold! Or silver... maybe bronze? Anywho, back to the thing.

Y/n: I got it! Okay, Kazuma! Take Aqua and have her release her holy aura or some shit and have her lead the undead somewhere far away.

Kazuma: I don't know how that will work but whatever. AQUA!!! C'MERE!

Aqua: Hu?- WHA!? HEY! WHERE ARE WE GOING!!!

Aqua didn't get a response back as she was now being dragged away by Kazuma.

Hikaru: sooo... how's that going to work out?

Hikaru then asks out of nowhere. Y/n then took her out in her orb form and proceeded to entertain her question.

Y/n: well, *fixes his glasses -which was definitely there and was glowing for some reason- with his finger* you see, I learned that undead are naturally attracted to strong sources of holy energy. And since Aqua is a Goddess unfortunately... she could release some of her holy energy and have the Zombies follow her and have them distracted while I go for Verdia.

Hikaru: what if it doesn't work?

Y/n: ha ha ha! Silly Hikaru. Its Aqua were talking about here. If anything, why shouldn't they chase Aqua? I mean, she does have the Shittiest luck in the world.

Hikaru: that makes sense

Y/n: now watch as my plan comes to fruition!

Aqua then releases her holy energy. The undead minions stop dead in their tracks, turned their heads towards Aqua's direction... and started booking it towards her!

Y/n: Perfect! Now, *turns his head towards Megumin* Megumin, I want you to stand by and ready an explosion spell and wait for my signal to blast those bastards sky high!

Megumin: I won't let you down! Finally, I get to use it on actual monsters again instead of that castle.

Y/n: oh, so your the one who blew Verdia's castle? Wow, who knew! Not me apparently! Oh! And before I forget, Darkness catch!

He then threw his belt bag to Darkness as she fumbles to catch the thing a little.

Y/n: I want you to stay with Megumin. Once she casts her explosion magic, have her drink those mana potions. After that, I want you to join me, okay?

Darkness: understood!

Y/n: good! Now, time for me to go ham on his ass again! Lets go Hikaru!

Hikaru: already on it!

She then morphed herself into the boys body as his eyes turned a metallic white once again with a white aura surrounding him. He then dashed right at Verdia, catching the Dullahan off guard.

Y/n: surprise motherfucker!

He summoned his stand and have it throw a sucker punch at Verdia. But Verdia was fast enough to raise his weapon and blocked the strike. The headless knight then pushed the boy away a good distance away.

Verdia: you again...

Y/n: Yeah! Me.

Verdia: you know, I should thank you. Without you beating me, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to reflect on myself and enabling me to improve my skills. So, thank you for that... now, DIE!!! [ZA WARUDO] TOKI WO TOMARE!!!

Time then stops. Verdia not wasting any time, appeared in front of the boy and slashed at him a couple of times before choke slamming him to the ground with a force that could definitely break someone's spine in half. Time then resumes as everything starts to move again, including the debris from the chokeslam.

Y/n: AARRGGHH!!!

Verdia then raises his sword and brings it down onto Y/n but was then caught by [MAKING MIRRORS] as it clutched the blade in between its hands.

Verdia: do NOT take me for a FOOL! I have learned from our last battle so don't expect it to be as easy as it was before!

Y/n then grunts in frustration as he then redirected the blade to hit the floor just right at the side of his head and delivering a blow after blow after blow at Verdia.

[MAKING MIRRORS]: ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO! ARO!!!

The hits landed successfully as Verdia was sent back by the blows.

Y/n: *huff* *huff* ' dammit!... ' *wipes blood from his mouth* ' he doesn't even seem that fazed by the hits he took let alone the the damage that got sent back to him at twice the damage! Gotta think of something quick '

Verdia: what's the matter? Why aren't you retaliating? Too scared?

Y/n: shut up...

Verdia: well, I guess I should stop being cocky and start killing you now, don't I?

Verdia then dashed towards Y/n at a very fast speed. Y/n, having no choice, went on the defensive and ducked under the swing and jumped away. Verdia though, not letting up his attacks, dashes towards Y/n and tries to slice him up every time he runs. After a while, Verdia then noticed that they were getting farther and farther away from the town. He then stopped for a moment to think about what the boys plan is.

Y/n: *huff* why'd you... *huff* stop, huh?

Verdia just remains silent.

Y/n: I guess you already caught onto me, huh?

Verdia: indeed...

Y/n: well... TOO LATE FUCKO!!! You just fell right into my trap! MEGUMIN!!! FIRE!!!

Verdia: HUH!?

Before Verdia could even comprehend what was happening, he was then bombarded with his own minions as the minions were still chasing Aqua who, "coincidentally" led them to Verdia. Aqua then stopped releasing her holy energy and both her and Kazuma booked it far away from the blast Zone while Y/n used his portal gun to get out himself.

Megumin: EKSUPLOSSSSIONN!!!!

A huge beam of destruction then fell from above and onto Verdia and his undead Warriors which turned into a violent explosion! Megumin then fell onto her back from her exhaustion. Darkness then went over to Megumin and helped her drink the mana potions. Now, back at the scorched battle field.

Aqua: d-did we do it?

Kazuma: is that it?

Y/n: don't even think about it. Aqua! Quickly, EXORCISE HIM WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!!

Aqua: OK! SACRED EXORCISM!!!

Now, this time, a white beam of light came down from the heavens and struck the crater where Verdia is. The light then died down as smoke was the only thing obscuring their view. No being cautious, Y/n then summons a super shotgun and held it at the ready. As the smoke cleared, Verdia was now shown to be smoking from the bottom up but he seemed like the whole explosion and holy magic that was casted upon him did nothing but gave him a little bit of a sting.

Verdia: ha! ha! ha! ha! Good. Very good. I'm surprised of your teams teamwork, so I applaud you for your valiant efforts which were for naught.

Verdia then disappeared once again only to reappear above them, delivering a devastating smash with his large sword. The three adventurers get flung away by the sheer immensity of his smash. Verdia then uses [ZA WARUDO] to stop time again. He then uses his sword to break the ground and use the debris as projectiles and threw them towards the adventurers.

Verdia: ho ho ho... MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA!!!

With all that is done, he then unfreezes time.

Verdia: time flows again...

Y/n and Kazuma and Aqua: GAH!!!

Kazuma and Aqua roll uncontrollably on the ground by the projectiles while Y/n uses his stand to maneuver himself midair and land safely on the ground. Y/n then summons his Assault Rifle and shoots Verdia with ice bullets to hopefully get him stuck but Verdia just keeps on slicing the bullets in half as he walks towards the boy.

Verdia: your weaponry is useless against me! Just face your demise, Y/N!!!

Y/n: don't be so sure about that!!! [MAKING MIRRORS]!!!

They both then dash for each other and start trading blows. Verdia with his sword while Y/n with his stand.

[MAKING MIRRORS]: ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO!!!!

Verdia: MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!!

Both blows then collide with each other, causing a shock wave, blasting the two opponents away. The two still didn't stop as they went at each other again this time with projectiles. Verdia threw spell after spell while Y/n counters with his light skill: Reflective surface and sends Verdia's attacks back while occasionally shooting some ice bullets from his assault rifle. After a while of spell blasting, Verdia then once Again activated [ZA WARUDO] and stopped time. The headless knight then dashes forward once again to give a devastating gash on the boys abdomen then smacks him away with a backhanded slap across the face. time then resumes once more.

Y/n: GAAH!!!

Y/n then lands with a hard thud on the ground as his blood spewed everywhere.

Verdia: you've done nothing but annoy me! You and your friends! Now... it's time for me to end you!!! Y/N!!!!

Y/n: not.... YET! DARKNESS NOW!

Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped themselves around Verdia's waist. Verdia looks back to see Darkness there with a sly smirk as she lifts Verdia off the ground and gives Verdia the ol German suplex. Darkness gets up and distanced herself from him. Verdia stands up only to see the mouth of a rocket launcher.

Verdia: WHA!?-

Y/n: EAT THIS YOU HEADLESS FUCK!

He then shoots it, point blank range directly at Verdia. Everything then explodes. Smoke was everywhere as well as debris. Smoke then cleared to show Y/n in a hunched position with half his face scorched, burn marks around his arm and a lot of blood.

Y/n: that was a bad idea... such a painful, bad idea... GHACK!

He pukes out a bit of blood from all the pain he had sustained from the blast.

Kazuma: dude you o- HOLY SHIT! What happened to our face dude? You look like fucking two face right now.

Y/n: I'll be fine... *cough* Aqua, I need healing... please.

Aqua: uh r-right.

Aqua then proceeds to heal him. As they do this though, Darkness then shouted to the them.

Darkness: Guys! He's coming back!

Y/n: shit!... keep him busy for a while! *looks to Aqua* okay, Aqua, I want you to summon a huge amount of water. And I mean a HUGE Amount of water, got that.

Aqua: right! You can count on me!

Y/n: okay, Kazuma I want you to warn the townspeople about an incoming flood and have them but barriers to protect that wall.

Kazuma: okay!

(play this for added immersion)

After Aqua healed Y/n, she then starts to summon the water. In the meantime, Y/n went to stall Verdia along with Darkness. He summons his gravity gun, And began to lift some debris off the ground and proceeds to throw them towards Verdia while running towards him. Verdia notices the debris heading right for him so he shoves Darkness out the way and proceeds to slice them midair. Darkness then took the opportunity to restrain Verdia once again as she gives him a monstrous bear hug.

Verdia: LET GO YOU CRAZY MASOCHIST!

Y/n then changes his weapon into a grapple gun and proceeds to grapple himself towards Verdia. Verdia manages to break free from Darkness's death hug. He then notices a hook coming for him so he proceeds to counter it by grabbing a hold of it and pulling the boy in for a punch to the face. But to his misfortune, it was a part of the boys plan as the boy slid across the floor, between Verdia's legs, ultimately dodging his fist. Y/n then proceeds to wrap the hook line around Verdia's legs and tripping him up.

Verdia: Gah!

Y/n: I hope you like the taste of water! Cause you're gonna be drinking' a centuries worth you headless BITCH!

Verdia: what!?

Then, up in the sky, storm clouds form around the area where Y/n, Verdia and Darkness is at. Aqua then -from afar- shouts.

Aqua: SACRED CREATE WATER!!!

Suddenly, a huge amount of water fell from the sky as it barreled down towards the people below.

Y/n: fuck, that's a lot of wat-

He didn't get to finish his sentence as the water smashed down to the ground with a loud SMACK, submerging them in water. the immensity of the water was so huge that a portion of it reached the town but thanks to Kazuma warning the people beforehand, they had set up magical barriers to protect the towns walls... but then those barriers were too weak to stop the gushing of water so it still ended up destroying the wall.

Kazuma: I DIDN'T WOR- *gurgling noises*

After a while, the water had dispersed itself on the soil and everyone was now out of the water.

Y/n: Jesus Christ... *looks towards the broken walls of the city* I have a feeling we'll be paying for that later.

Y/n then heard pained grunts. He looks forward to see Verdia, with cracked armor climbing out a huge crater that the water made when it impacted the ground.

Verdia: *cough**cough* i'll admit... that was impressive. But that still doesn't mean you've won. i am weak because of that little stunt you did but I still have a trick up my sleeve that will kill you once and for all.

Y/n: okay...

Y/n then slowly stands back up. Stares Verdia in the eyes... then dashed towards him with his stand. Verdia lifts his sword up to block the barrage of punches.

[MAKING MIRRORS]: ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO ARO! ARO!!!

Verdia was able to block some of the punches while a few of them were able to land on him. Y/n jumps back to distance himself from him.

Y/n: would ya look at that! You've gotten slow.

Verdia: grrr... well, that may be but, I still have a skill that could end you in a blink of an eye.

Y/n: how about we test that.

Y/n then dashes for him again but then suddenly, Verdia threw his armored head up to the sky. Y/n was a bit confused until he saw a fiery eye appear on the sky. Noticing this, he panics and proceeds to back away immediately but he wasn't fast enough as his arm was now chopped off from the elbow down.

Y/n: GAAHHH!!! MY ARMM!!!

Verdia's head then fell down from the sky. Verdia then catches it and reattaches it to his body.

Verdia: ho ho ho! You see that? That is what will kill you, boy. Now if you want to go for me again, be my guest! You won't be able to get close to me either way.

Y/n contemplated his choices while clutching his stub where the rest of his arm should be.

Y/n: ' c'mon Y/n think! There has to be a weakness to that skill of his... but what? '

He thinks for a moment, until...

Y/n: ' UREKA! I got it! His head! His head is his weakness. if I can just get his head when he throws it up to the air then I could get close and beat the shit out of him. But how?'

Y/n looks around for anything he could use until he notices Kazuma running towards him.

Y/n: ' Kazuma? Wait a minute... I could use him! Perfect! '

Kazuma finally reaches Y/n and proceeds to ask him about the second part of the plan.

Kazuma: *whispering* okay, what's the next part of the plan?

Y/n: *whispers* I got it. This is what your going to do...

Y/n whispers his plan to Kazuma. After that, Kazuma nods in understanding and began to position himself. Y/n looks back to Verdia who was standing there arms crossed.

Verdia: you done yet?

Without missing a beat, Y/n dashes towards Verdia for the last time. Verdia then takes his head off of his shoulders and throws it up in the sky.

Verdia: did you forget! It's useless!!! now DIE!!!

but there was something Verdia didn't expect this time around. Kazuma was there. Kazuma raises his hand towards Verdia's head and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Kazuma: here goes... STEAL!!!!!

(Stop music)

Then suddenly a blinding white light engulf the area for a split moment. Verdia then blinks a few times, then opens them to see the face of Kazuma holding his head in his hands.

Verdia: w-w-what!?

Kazuma then forms a devilish smirk as he had the head of the dullahan.

Y/n: hey Kazuma!

Kazuma: yeah?

Y/n: have fun with that.

Kazuma: will do~... he he he hahahahahaHAHAHAHA!!!

Verdia: w-w-wait do- OUCH!

Kazuma then kicks Verdia's head like a soccer ball and dribbles it towards the people of the town.

Kazuma: hey everyone! Wanna play some soccer?

Random adventurers: huh? What's that?

Kazuma: it's a game where you handle the ball... WITH YOUR FEET!

Kazuma then kicks Verdia's head towards the other adventurers. The adventurers look among themselves and decided to join in on the action so they proceeded to kick Verdia's head as they pass it to one another.

Verdia: HEY! *kick* OW! STOP IT *kick* OW! THAT HURTS *kick* PLEASE STOP! *kick* OUCH!

This went on for a while before Y/n decided it was time to for it to end at last.

Y/n: Hey Kazuma! I think it's time to end this don't you think?

Kazuma: yup!

Y/n: then i guess i'll just send this guy off with a bang!

https://youtu.be/l_BrCswTZz4

(play this for added immersion but start at 3:43)

Y/n then summons the gravity gun again and proceeds to lift Verdia's body up from the ground. He then throws it towards the sky as high up as he can.

Kazuma: damn! That's high

Y/n: take a look Verdia! You can get front row seats to your own ASS BEATING!!!

Verdia's body then falls down towards Y/n. Y/n then summons his stand and prepares himself for a good ass whooping!

Y/N: sorry Bucciarati but imma borrow your stand cry for a bit.

The body was now in range of [MAKING MIRRORS] fists. So without another moment to spare... started to BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!

[MAKING MIRRORS]: ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI! ARI!

Verdia's Armor got obliterated and was sent flying. Y/n turns around towards Kazuma and nods to signal Kazuma on what he need to do next.

Kazuma: gotcha. Time to go Verdia!

Kazuma then throws Verdia's head to his beaten body then shouts.

Kazuma: AQUA! DO IT NOW!

Aqua: alright! SACRED EXORCISM!!!

The same white light came down on Verdia as he was now being exorcised.

Verdia: n-NO! THIS CAN'T BE!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENINGGG!!!!!!....

The light then died down after a few moments. Y/n then raised his head and then did a very dramatic pose then exclaimed.

Y/n: Arrivederci!

TO BE CONTINUED...
