A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 24: The Death Fight Against Kimira Part 1

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Kimira's roar shakes all the surrounding atmosphere. The roar, accompanied by even physical pressure, trembled the whole body of the revus with a storm-like impact.

"Come on, Dominic!

Ah!

However, Reurus was the only one who drowned in Kimira's roar. Bartolo, holding an axe in both hands, jumped out, and Dominic, who had a great sword to respond to it, ran to the ground.

Dominic and Bartolo ran with a huge weapon called the Great Sword on a Battle Axe, but both moved fast against their weight. Reduce the distance to Kimira at a rate equal to or greater than that of Nicolas previously seen by Reurus.

"The Spirit of Ice."

The movement surprised Reurus' ears, and now Sharon's voice arrived. In a hurry, he looked at Sharon, holding his wand with both hands and closing his eyes to pray for something.

I wonder if that's the "chant" I heard about. Feeling something invisible from Sharon's body spinning words - perhaps the magic of invisibility - Reurus took a small breath.

"Now, all we have to do is hope the boys buy us some time... as a bokeh, Reurus. This is our perimeter."

Nicolas, holding her sword in her sheath on the ground and replacing it with a cane, looked around with serious eyes and said so. When he heard that, Reus put his hand on the handle of the sword and opened his mouth as he looked around to imitate Nicolas.

"... if all goes well, can you beat Kimira?

"Nnh, you don't understand. As I told you before, even monsters of the same type have variations in strength. If this is the weakest of the Kimiras, I think I can handle it..."

Fighting is aquatic and it is very difficult to predict results unless there is a big difference in power. It was understandable to Reurus, but I couldn't settle down as leaving the fight against Kimira to others.

Looking around while watching the surroundings, there was Dominique and Bartolo, who approached Kimira and split into two.

"Match!"

Ooh!

They sandwiched the four-legged Kimira and slashed it from the left and right at the same time. Bartolo shook the huge battle axe directly beside him, and Dominic shook down his big sword from the face.

Both Bartolo and Dominique have the most muscular length Reurus has ever seen in this world.

Compared to Kimira, who has a body of more than three meters, he is able to manipulate heavyweight weapons that will exceed ten kilometers without any shortage, and even slash them from the physical abilities amplified by "Enhancement."

It was a blow that was easy to smash or crush, even if it was hardened with metal armor - a blow that bounced back with a hard metal sound.

"... what?

The Reurus who saw it unexpectedly leaked a stunned voice. Dominic and Bartolo's slaughter did not reach Kimira's body and was prevented by Kimira's swinging forefoot.

Kimira's actions were extremely simple. Dominic and Bartolo split to the left and right, slashing each other, standing with only their hind legs, and shaking their front legs covered in a black-light outer shell.

No matter how much 'fortification' is pushed, Dominic and Bartolo, who have a blessed body in humans, do not have the physical abilities of monsters exceeding three meters. In addition, the exterior shell that covers Kimira's forefoot has enough hardness to slash Dominiques.

For example, it is like being beaten sideways with a log covered with metal. Dominique and Bartolo should be commended for having just been hit by a blade without letting go of their weapons. There's nothing I can do about it.

"Chi! I'm in front!

"Drop the tail!

Immediately standing up in a slightly disturbed position, Bartolo stood in front of Kimira and slashed to draw attention. Dominic took Kimira's back accordingly and waved a big sword to cut off three tails that were as stupid as a whip.

But it still doesn't arrive.

Kimira, who has two heads, sees both movements with her head and plays the Battle Axe of Bartolo with her forefoot, beating Dominic's great sword with three tails to distract her. The movement was more like a man who had learned martial arts than a beast, and Reurus, who was watching it, made a sound and swallowed his spit.

"What, hey... the monster is moving..."

Dominic and Bartolo seem to have incredible skill when it comes to Reurus, who has little combat experience. The more you can't follow, the more words will pass, but you'll move at a speed that you won't be able to get to Reurus, and slash one after another.

Dominic seems to have retired as an adventurer, but there was no waste in waving his great sword, and Kimira's attack was accurate. Bartolo is also shaking his battle axe, dodging the attack by watching Kimira's movements with his right eye.

Kimira is playing an antagonistic battle with the opponent - there is no "more”.

Kimira's defenses did not collapse against Dominique and Bartolo, who were always moving around to pinch the opponent. Even as they roared, they saw the optimal behavior from their movements and prevented the approaching battle axe and sword.

"Powerful monsters often have high intelligence. That Kimira was just doing the same thing."

"... you don't have to cover me? Like throwing stones to distract your consciousness."

In response to Nicolas' words, who was watching Dominic's battle calmly, Reurus thought that he could at least do something. But Nicola shook her neck and distorted her mouth painfully.

"Stop, don't imitate me. Those two are the only ones I can bring to the antagonist. Kimira's defenses meant that if she hadn't, she'd have been slashed. It's fine as long as they buy us some time. I'll give you a chance to shoot magic."

Nicola looks at Sharon that way. It hasn't been that long since the battle began, but I can't wait to remember when Sharon's "chant" will end from Reurus.

Nicolas is right, Dominique and Bartolo are also a threat to Kimira. I don't think it's a monster to launch an offensive defense, but I don't think it will end with “that much". Does the weakness of Reurus make you feel that way?

Sharon's "chant" echoes in Reurus' ears, biting his own teeth when he can't do anything.

"It's definitely snow and ice that blows up in the world of zero degrees. Ice that doesn't melt in flames, doesn't shake in the wind, doesn't break in lightning."

Sharon spins words quietly and calmly. As the "chant" progresses, the surrounding temperatures begin to drop, and Reurus also feels a strange feeling like his spine is fading.

Reurus doesn't know how long it takes to sing and how effective it is. However, I felt that the air around me was changing little by little, and it was felt that "chanting" also had a great effect.

(There seems to be no problem so far.....)

Dominique and Bartolo, who control Kimira, are holding each other back without hurt and without even allowing Kimira to shoot magic.

Sharon was also in the process of "chanting", and from the amateur's point of view, there seemed to be no problem.

Reurus is on perimeter alert with Nicolas, but we don't see any reinforcements for now. It seems that there is no monster who dares to storm the area where Kimira is in trouble, and Reurus exhales a calm breath of relief.

Without distracting him, Reurus tries to take his hand off the handle of the sword. But I couldn't move my hand as I thought. It seems that he was squeezing the handle of the sword hard inside without knowing it, and his eyes were drawn to blood.

Reurus noticed that when he opened his hand in a hurry, his palm was slightly wet with sweat. Then I wiped my forehead and realized that there was a lot of cold sweat and my body was unconscious and nervous.

"Hey, Nicolas."

"What?

I'm not fighting directly. Still, I was under pressure from Kimira's intimidation. When Reurus consciously took a deep breath, he smiled with a strong smile.

"I can't believe it's chaotic. My whole body is sweating."

"It's a strange encounter, so am I. I'm not freaking out, but I have a whole body."

"Well, that's only natural if you're so hurt."

When I slapped each other lightly, I felt a little less nervous. Reurus opens and closes his right hand twice or three times, and puts his hand on the handle of the sword while being careful not to squeeze.

Just watching the battle drains you so much. How much is the burden on Dominic and Bartolo, who are actually wearing swords?

Shaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oooh!

Bartolo and Dominique rush around the earth at a speed not commensurate with the appearance, slashing alongside the feeling of rifting. Kimira waved her forelegs in response to the two movements, swinging her tail like a whip and not allowing a direct hit.

Gruuuu! Gaaaahh!

Still, I suppose you've decided that you can't tell the truth. Swing your tail on the spot and force Dominic and Bartolo to fly. The two men avoided a direct hit by shielding their respective targets and were shot backwards without resisting the impact.

Though it was about ten meters, the distance opened. The moment he realized it, Kimila lay down on the ground, and turned the horns that grew on both heads toward the sky.

Ooooooooooooooooo!

A roar that shivers the air. It's enough to shake the whole body of Reurus in a remote place and open your eyes to what you're going to do.

"That's not good...."

Nicolas's words were murmured. Nicolas moves and stands between Sharon and Kimira before he sees what it means.

"Reurus, stand behind me! If I fall down, please do it later!

"What... what are you talking about!?

Reurus stood in front of Sharon as he was told, but checked Kimira and unexpectedly opened his eyes.

The horns that grow on each of Kimira's double heads. From there, the purple electricity burst, making a bee noise.

I heard you use lightning magic, but if you actually get a lightning strike in front of you, you lose your words. In the previous life, there were Denkiunagi and so on, but if magic was used by monsters like Kimira, there would be a difference in its power.

Nicolas is going to be the shield of Kimilla's lightning magic. I don't know if I'm after them, but to protect Sharon, who keeps chanting behind me.

Dominic!

"I know!

And so is Dominic and Bartolo, who were by Kimira's side. Even though Kimira is producing purple electricity, she swings her weapon and fills the distance at once.

"Nuuu!?

"Gu!?

Then a voice of anguish leaked from both of them. Though it was slashed, there was pain and numbness all over my body with the “just” purple electricity that was emitted around me.

Still, they shake off the axe and the great sword and scratch Kimira's body, which was concentrated on the expression of magic. Dominic slashed Kimira's left torso, Bartolo slashed his right forefoot, and blood splashed into the air.

A wound that is too small to push into battle. The price paid to inflict only that amount of wound was a painful counterattack from Kimira.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thunder blows with roar. The lightning that was emitted to lick the surroundings blinked like a camera flash, aiming at Dominic and Bartolo, who were about to shake the object and leave immediately.

The lightning that was emitted was so fast that it could not be seen. Still, Bartolo avoids a direct hit by pointing a battle axe to the ground and releasing it, replacing it with a lightning rod. But Dominic couldn't get rid of the weapon in time, allowing a direct thunderbolt from the front.
