Scaramouche was naturally quite brave!
But unlike Osial, he wasn't some fool.
The reason he had deliberately taken the Raiden Shogun's slash head-on was to test the monster's abilities.
He wanted to see whether it really could ignore physical attacks from reality.
What could demonstrate that more directly than a slash from Inazuma's Electro Archon?
And even if it really couldn't withstand the attack, it wouldn't cause any harm to him personally.
As long as no one found him, he would be fine.
But if it succeeded, the implications would be completely different!
"Come on!"
Facing the ferocious slash descending from the sky, madness filled Scaramouche's eyes.
As soon as his voice fell, the blade, carrying overwhelming lightning and divine might, descended directly.
However, instead of splitting him in two, the slash passed straight through the monster's body!
It then struck the ground below.
Boom!
With a tremendous roar, dust filled the wilderness.
Once the dust settled, a gigantic fissure had visibly appeared across the ground, demonstrating the terrifying power of the Raiden Shogun's strike.
"Hahahaha! Just as I thought! I'm completely fine!"
Seeing that he was completely unharmed, Scaramouche was ecstatic!
He didn't care in the slightest about the enormous crack beneath his feet.
Even one of the Seven Archons, the Raiden Shogun, couldn't threaten him.
To some extent, he was already invincible!
This monster's ability really was incredible!
That manga shop truly was extraordinary!
"It didn't hit?"
Looking at the completely unharmed monster below, the Raiden Shogun frowned.
She had seen it clearly when her slash descended just now.
The blade's light had passed directly through its body, as though the monster before her simply didn't exist!
"Shogun, there's something strange about this monster!"
Within the Plane of Euthymia, Raiden Ei stopped what she was doing, her expression becoming solemn as well.
Although she had been eating a delicious radish, she had also been keeping an eye on the situation outside.
There were certainly beings capable of withstanding her swordsmanship.
But avoiding an attack in such a bizarre manner?
This was the first time she'd encountered something like it.
No matter how powerful an attack was, what use was it if it couldn't even touch the enemy?
It seemed they were in for some trouble!
In the sky, the Raiden Shogun stood with her brows tightly furrowed.
Below her, Scaramouche was in a state of exhilaration.
For a moment, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Meanwhile, after witnessing what had just happened, Paimon was completely dumbfounded.
"Oh my gosh! Lumine, you were actually right! It really did survive!"
Was it really that powerful?
If so, even if she summoned the Magus of Light, Paimon wasn't sure she'd have much confidence.
After all, the Severing Sword, Ruyi Divine Sword, wasn't exactly invincible!
Unless it had the Solar Crown boosting its power.
Then there might be a better chance!
"It didn't withstand the attack. The attack simply passed through the monster's body!
It's as though it doesn't exist!"
Lumine shook her head, her expression solemn.
Just like the Raiden Shogun, she had seen everything clearly.
"How could it not exist? It just roared and caused all that destruction!"
Paimon's face was filled with disbelief.
If it didn't exist, how could it possibly affect reality?
"Maybe the monster can attack others, but others can't attack it?"
Lumine offered a guess.
Although the idea sounded bizarre, she felt it was the most reasonable explanation.
"Huh? Th-that... that's way too ridiculous!"
Paimon was completely dumbfounded.
She could attack you and hit you, but when you attacked her—
Sorry, your attack couldn't hit her!
Wasn't that ability completely broken?
How were they supposed to deal with something like that?
There was simply no way!
It was ridiculously unfair!
"There's nothing we can do. Let's ask Han Feng."
Lumine spread her hands.
A monster like this had already exceeded her understanding.
She estimated that only Han Feng would know what was going on.
With that thought, she took out her phone, snapped a picture of the monster, and sent it to Han Feng.
She also told him everything that had happened.
Solace Book House.
The little maid was preparing dinner with the Gourmet's Tablecloth,
while Han Feng remained behind the counter, leisurely drinking tea.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Han Feng raised an eyebrow and casually picked it up from the counter.
[Lumine: Han Feng, Paimon, Klee, and I discovered a bizarre monster. It can actually ignore the Raiden Shogun's slash! Do you know what's going on? Monster.jpg]
"Scaramouche acted this quickly?"
A hint of surprise flashed through Han Feng's eyes when he saw the picture.
He had thought it would take until late at night!
He hadn't expected Scaramouche to make his move so soon.
It had only just gotten dark!
After pondering for a moment,
Han Feng composed a message explaining the monster's nature and how to deal with it, then sent it over.
"It was actually like this?"
After reading the message on her phone, Lumine's expression became incredibly strange.
She never would have imagined that the monster had been created in such a way.
"Lumine, what did Boss Han say?"
Paimon asked curiously.
"See for yourselves."
Seeing how impatient the two little ones were, Lumine turned the phone screen toward them.
[Han Feng: This monster is a reward someone obtained from the shop. It was created through a dream after they fell asleep, which is why it's immune to attacks from reality. To defeat it, you have to use magic to defeat magic.]
"It... it was created by a dream?!"
Paimon was completely stunned.
No wonder Lumine's expression had been so strange!
This was ridiculous beyond belief!
Who could have imagined it would be something like this?
"So Big Brother Han Feng means we have to dream too?"
Little Klee tilted her head in confusion.
"But if we fall asleep, can we still control our consciousness?"
Paimon was skeptical.
Normally, whenever she fell asleep, she would sleep straight through until morning.
Even if she occasionally dreamed, she would forget everything as soon as she woke up.
How was she supposed to fight a monster in that state?
"Let's try it. Since Han Feng said so, he must have his reasons."
Lumine smiled.
She had always trusted Han Feng unconditionally.
Just like Xiao and Kujou Sara, she was practically a die-hard Han Feng fan!
It hadn't worked before, probably because Little Paimon had been too weak!
Now that she had the Magus of Light Gun, perhaps she really could do it.
Lumine's thinking wasn't wrong.
That was exactly what Han Feng believed as well.
In Ultraman Tiga, Daigo himself had managed to accomplish something like this.
There was no reason that Paimon, who possessed supernatural abilities as well, couldn't do it.
And Little Klee was naturally the same.
