A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"That's exactly what level 2... is getting darker."

"That's right. Perhaps it's time to leave the forest and go out into the wilderness."

"Sure, but... do you remember?

"Well... I see. Because most of the terrain remains in my head."

"Ha ha, don't depend on me. You've only been at dusk for two years, Major."

"... please stop, Major. It's not that big a deal."

"What, you don't like it?

"... even if he suddenly says Major, he won't come to me."

"There are a lot of guys in the Premium vs. Mage....."

"Have you met anyone else?

Well... But some of them are so great, I don't know if they're as humble as you... It's just a lot of guys. "

Really?

So, can I call you Julia?

"Yes, that's fine, Lieutenant."

"Hahaha, he's as tough as ever... well, I like him. People like you. In fact, since I was young enough to become a Premium vs. Mage, I thought how bad he would come....."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry...."

"Well, let's get along. As the same comrade."

Yes!

When the two of us were talking like that, we passed Danger Zone Level 1. It's been a long time. After all, if you leave level 1, the atmosphere changes suddenly. It is a dark twilight, but the smell of blood is stained here. It literally represents a weak predator.

And there was a wilderness. There are big rocks everywhere and... monsters wandering around again. Here was Scorpion. But of course, its length is unusual. It is about 3 to 5 meters in size and quite large. In addition, the color is dyed with a mix of red and black dusk. Probably an individual who's been here a long time. I've fought these guys before, but I'm in a lot of trouble. Especially the tail poison. Does it have strong acidity? It melts when touched. That's enough to make human skin drowsy easily.

When I was at dusk, I saw Scorpion hunting his prey many times. It's not that hard to defeat, but it's still troublesome to act in a crowd.

"Colonel, what do you want?

When Lieutenant Bates heard that, the colonel thought a little before saying:

I see. I'll hunt a little here. Battle stations, everyone. "

Copy that.

"Vanguards are in the vanguard, the inner guard is in the guerrilla, and the rear guard is backed by magic."

Got it!!

Then me and Lieutenant Bates cut ahead. When you hold a knife in both hands, the Invisible Blade is activated. Then, keep your posture low and run through the earth.

In front of him, a Scorpion enters his sight.

"Hah!!

Flash. Scorpion knew the enemy had arrived, but he could not perceive the invisible blade and was still in two. Me and the Lieutenant keep cutting on the front lines, paying close attention to the splashing fluids.

I know because I've been fighting in the dusk all by myself... but it's still quite inefficient to have people with me. Me and Lieutenant Bates scrape at the front line, and the leaking monsters are scraped by the Central Guard and even the rest of the Rear Guard. In addition, there is magical support from the rear guard, so it is quite easy to fight. This is Squad Seventy-One. I was told by that name that it was a special "coming" and called with fear and respect, but I realised that it was not a lie.

"... don't do it. Julia, I was a little suspicious... but after all, the Premium vs. the Mages aren't Date."

Lieutenant Bates is pretty good, too.

Well, that's all I have left.

The weapon used by the Lieutenant is Flamberg. The blade span is about 1.5 meters, and the handle is long enough to hold it with both hands. And above all, it is characterized by a wave-shaped blade that twitches like a flame. This has the effect of widening the other person's wound when it is cut. Therefore, an attacked opponent can't just take a blow.

And that's an advantage... but the problem is that it's not a good arrangement. The longer Reach is, the more inertia Lieutenant Bates uses Inertial Control. Inertia is as good as or better than mine. I was honestly surprised because I really used magic skillfully. [M] It is used not only on the sword, but also on its own body.

In my case, I use it where my body needs to be, but he uses it for every shot. I realised once again that this is the anti-magician who fights on the front lines...

"... hmm?

"What?

"... an earthquake?

It's huge.

"You guys, back off a little...."

Suddenly a big shake comes. And I remember this phenomenon. [M]

"... the monster is coming out! Prepare for battle!!

When I say so, everyone enters the war again. [M] Even if you know. The shaking of this earth, and that big sway. That's the boss of this Scorpion herd.

The name of the individual is Huge Scorpion. When he crawled out of the ground, he made a loud noise.

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

But at that moment I was running away from the earth. Of course, there's Lieutenant Scott next door. And the weed that came out of the surrounding area again was left to the inner guard and the rear guard. This is an implicit understanding. We had already decided what to do in such a situation. [M]

Two avant-garde players beat the giant scorpion "The Fuse Corpion", while the rear guard hunts miscellaneous fish, and the Nakamori provides both support as needed. Without breaking that formation, I kicked the ground and waved Invisible Blade, an invisible sword that was activated from both knives.

"... so hard!!

Yes, my attack did not hurt the opponent. The opponent's outer shell was harder than the invisible sword Invisible Blade.

"Julia, get away!!

When I hear senpai's voice, I immediately take a step back and back. [M] At that moment, the whole body of the giant scorpion "Fusion Corpion" is wrapped in the flame of Guren.

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A grieving voice. As expected, the outer shell did not seem thick enough to prevent heat perfectly, and the giant scorpion "Fuse Corpion" began to wriggle in agony.

"Julia, focus a bit!!

"Got it!!

If it's hard, hit it hard and break through. First, the Lieutenant waves a flamberg towards the sky. The burning flames are already weakening, but the hot ones are still hot. But we couldn't miss this opportunity. [M]

"Haaaaaaaaaa!!

When I fly in the air, I activate the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" from both feet. Then, after stabbing it into the sky, the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" of the knife of both hands also thoroughly stabs into the sky. Then, the outer shell collapsed with a buzzing sound... My invisible sword "Invisible Blade" penetrated the sky.

"Giggle... giggle, giggle... giggle..."

The giant scorpion "Fusion Corpion", weakened and fell on the ground. It ended unexpectedly, and when I turned around, it seemed like the destruction of the junk fish was over.

"Yes, Julia. You did it."

"Yes, you've managed."

"But I don't see much of a giant scorpion called Fusion Corpion...."

"Sure, even if you were there, it would have to be about level 4...."

"Ah, this is equivalent to Danger Zone Level 4. Is there a change in the ecosystem?

"... that's enough argument for both of us. Bring this information to the research department. I'll collect some of the bodies."

Copy that.

That's what the colonel said, and we're leaving after the danger zone. The mission is over, and I'm going back to the City of Boundaries...

……

"What's wrong, Julia?"

Nothing, Lieutenant.

Somebody's watching me... I thought so, but it's probably my fault.

That's what I thought at this time.
