Battle Progress on Each Sides
This chapter starts from Radiasta's POV.
I see it.
『Gyaaaa!!』
Too slow.
『Kigya!?』
"Hmph!"
『Gah...!!?』
I can tell where they're coming from and what kind of feints they're making.
These beasts will funnily stab themselves if I simply leave my dagger in their paths.
...I've only been trained for half a month yet the results are already crystal clear.
Mere Level 20-30 magic beasts are like flies to be swatted compared to those instructors.
I couldn't tell during the training sessions since I only ever fought opponents more powerful than me but I'm definitely getting stronger...!
"...Gotta remember to thank instructors."
"Tell me 'bout it. We couldn't have gotten this strong this quick if we were left to our own devices... I do think maybe they should take it easier on us."
"Can't recall how many times we almost kicked the bucket after all. Frankly, I feel like they'd kill me way before any magic beast would..."
Baredo, Rasfi and me are so calm you wouldn't think we're currently in the heat of combat against an entire army of magic beasts.
I was freaking out inwardly at first, but once the fight actually started, it was anticlimatic.
Were Werewolves always this weak? We got so much stronger that thought even crossed my mind.
Whoa there, can't get careless and slip up now. Gotta pull myself together!
...Speaking of which, what do I do with all these hella suspicious gear I got from Kajikawa-san.
I know he gave me those and all but the manuals have so many warnings telling their users not to use them carelessly...
There's even a passage about user's arm flying off if they're not careful... Let's do my utmost to avoid using them.
"O-oh crap! A huge magic beast is charging this way!"
"Get away, kill it with ranged attacks! You'd get trampled down up close!"
『Pauwooooooooo!!!』
U, uo!? An elephant-shaped magic beast is coming this way!
Not good, my short daggers are a bad match against something that big. Thing is about seven meter tall.
That swiftness with that size. I think it should be around Lv50-60? It's clearly higher leveled than other magic beasts here.
Aiming for the vital with Extended Mana Blade is a tall order too. But focusing Farslash on it will open a chance for other magic beasts to advance.
『Puuuaaaaaaaaa!!』
"Uwaaaaaaaa!!"
"S-someone! Stop that giaaaant!!"
"That thing alone is going to cause unprecedented damage left unchecked! Call in reinforcement!"
"You fool, every side has their hands full defending their post! We gotta kill that thing ourselves!"
"Baredo! We'll stop it with a barrage of Farslash!"
"Darn it, it's way too huge!"
The elephant's rampage blew away around ten soldiers.
I can't leave it be. But killing that huge thing quickly with our power alone is...
....
I got no choice. I mean this thing is supposedly a ranged weapon, and the user, me, should be safe.
I fetched the 'Shurikens' Kajikawa-san gave me from my Item Bag.
I hit the button in the center of the shurikens hard to release their safety.
I threw three of them toward the elephant's forehead.
『Pauaaaoooo?』
T-that thing's a tough one...! The shurikens hit the mark but only one barely managed to pierce through its skin.
It's not even bleeding. It's got too thick a skin!
Hold up, is that it!? Wait, no, the manual said three seconds after it pierced its target--
BOOOOOOM!! An unbelievably loud explosion echoed.
A shockwave far beyond anything produced by average Offensive Magic swept through the battlefield.
Those shurikens are apparently magic tools that overload the magic stone inside once they received an impact from hitting their target.
"W-what was that...?"
"Look at that giant's head, it's gone...!!"
"I-I saw it. That green haired lad threw something that blew up...!"
"That was awesome sonny! But don'tcha threw those things willy nilly ya hear me. Ain't nobody wanna get dragged in that explosion."
"O, ou, will do..."
The elephant's whole head is completely gone without a trace.
S-such tremendous firepower! What the heck did you casually hand me, Kajikawa-san...!
"What did you threw?"
"...Dangerous objects an acquaintance gave. I wish I didn't have to use them but the situation called."
"Mind introducing me to that acquaintance of yours? Can't lie. I'm intrigued with weapons that got that much firepower."
"Drop it, Rasfi."
Rasfi looked really interested as she pressed me, while Baredo tried to stop her with a twitching face.
...I can't tell her I got an even more dangerous object on me.
~~~~~~~~Aizawa-kun's POV~~~~~~~~~
<TLN: Catch the latest updates and edits at Sousetsuka .com >
"Hyahhaaaa! It's slaughter time!"
"Come at me, I'mma massacre y'aaaall!!"
"...These soldiers sure got attitudes."
"And backbones. Hell lot better than my country's blockheads, that's for sure."
『H-higyaaaaaa!!?』
"Hihiyahahaha! How do you like that you damned beasts!"
"The hell ya think yer' doin' to our sanctuary ya bastards! We ain't lettin' ya take a single step in the capitaaal!"
"...They're so noisy."
"Well, it does work to intimidate those beasts, look at the positive."
Ganan smiled wryly while gazing at the soldiers raging through the swarm of magic beasts.
Their speech and behavior are the very picture of thugs but their skill ain't half bad.
Those old military bones at Firie Kingdom only ever fussed over dumb crap like orderly lines and stuff, ain't nothing about furthering strength. These guys are much better.
"Y'all, watch it! We got some big shots here and there!"
"Whaat!? Wheeere! I'mma beat the crap outta 'em!"
"Oy, found me a big one! It's miiine!"
They don't falter against strong looking beasts, heck they're going at it even harder.
I admit you guys got some guts but those things are way outtra yer' league.
No, are they standing strong despite knowing the gulf in strength? ...Can't call them reckless then.
『Girigiriguru... Gigya!!』
A goblin magic beast shot out lightning from its wand.
A Goblin Shaman huh. That's a real rare one.
"Men, hold onto yer' pants! We got a magic-shooting beast among 'em!"
"Don't block, dodge! Shields do jack on lightning dangit!"
"Get the hell away, black haired brat!"
Oh shut up. Focus on defending yourself over other.
Offensive Magic don't work on me... Unless it's that instructor's.
The spell dispersed before it hit me.
Master Skill 'Magi Banishment' can easily nullify that level of magic.
『Gigya!?』
"Go to hell!"
I cut off flinching Goblin Shaman's neck.
There's more of 'em. Gotta exterminate them before they become trouble.
I'll do just fine, but all these muscles for brains won't leave unscathed.
Looking back, don't think I ever worked together with other folk like this before.
I don't give a hoot about other people, but can't have that luxury in this situation.
...Can't believe I'm fighting while worrying about others. Had no idea I was this cooperative.
"Uruaaaaaa!!!"
"Uoooooo!!? O-oy, Neechan, quit swinging that huge axe around when ya got allies nearby! Ya gonna hit one of us!!"
"Get back if you don't wanna!!"
...I'm confident I can read the room better than that barbarian at least.
That Hyula, she's really gonna kill some of them one of these days, ain't she?
~~~~~~~~~~Aina-san's POV~~~~~~~~~~
"1102, 1103, 1104... Get blown together will you~."
I went for flying beasts and real bad news beasts initially but once I was done with them, I just picked off them randomly.
I unleashed a literal rain of arrows with Skill Ability 'Rain Arrows' made of mana.
『Gigyaaaaa!!』
"Move."
『Gape!?』
I punched a magic beast that slipped through the gap and got near me.
Too slow, way slow. You want to get as fast as Kajikawa-kun before you could dream of reaching me... Actually, please don't. It's scaary.
"A-awesome, that's Egoless Archer-sama for you...!"
"Okay okay, quit admiring me and get to work now. Or what, are you planning to have me take care of this entire herd myself?"
"P-pardon me!"
Other instructors and pupils are doing their best, but they seem to have gotten the cold feet facing off against a swarm this big, they're not using their full power.
Guess it's understandable, they won't get revived like the hero and his party after all. Of course anybody's scared of dying.
<Aina, Ivran said you gotta kill the big thing still in the back first.>
"Oops, guess I missed one. I'm on it."
Elves can speak Spirits even if they don't have Spirit Magic Skill.
Hence the reason why we can easily learn Spirit Magic, something difficult for humans.
Get in a contract -> Sure thing, and there you go. Skill Get.
My talent lies on archery so I ultimately didn't learn it but I can still communicate with them even now.
<Aina, bad news! Some real strong one showed up in the back!>
"I heard you the first time. I've got to focus on eliminating that first right?"
<Yes, but no! A powerful magic beast was just born in the back!>
...Say that again?
