A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 56: The "Contract" Part 1
Shortly after Reurus “jumped” into the woods, the faces of the abandoned city of Laval also started fighting.
"They're fanatics! Don't hit me properly, surround me and kill me!
It is led by Bartolo, who heads the Adventurers Association in the abandoned city of Laval. Takes on the huge battle axe and gives directions loudly echoing around.
The angry voices of adventurers around me echoed the voice of Bartolo. “My family” was hurt and seized. I was waiting for the time when each one of them would pull out their targets and attack their enemies.
You reacted to Dominic's murderous intentions, and the Gregorians showed up without a sound from the woods. The number was about ten, but there was no dust to be afraid of the difference in numbers.
The number of opponents is much smaller than ourselves. But Bartolo sees numbers as inferior in quality anyway. There is a big difference from 50 to 10 in a simple power differential, but whether or not you can beat one Gregorian with five in a “decent” fight.
Adventurers fight monsters on a daily basis, but when they become human opponents, the story changes. I don't hesitate to hurt my enemies, but I don't know how much the pure difference in skill resonates.
"Dominic, Nicola"
"I know. I'll take them both."
"Me too... but I can't be like you? But I asked the Spirit Teacher to heal my wound. I'll crush one for sure."
As far as I can see, some Gregorians can use magic even if it's just 'strengthening'. Dominique and Nicolas responded with war, although the number of adventurers they could cross on their own was limited.
"There are only five people who can feel the magic... I'll take the rest. Sharon will cover you. But protect the others before us."
"Okay."
A magician accepts those who can use magic as well. It takes extraordinary skill to cross without magic with someone who can use Reinforcement, but no one had such skill.
There is no guarantee that the opponent will behave as intended. However, no matter how many Gregorians, you can “cook” as many adventurers as you want if you can't use magic.
Let's go, you bastards! Kill those fanatics!
That's how Bartolo screams and runs off with his head cut off. The faces of the abandoned city of Laval ran in response.
The Gregorians, on the other hand, must have thought similar to Bartolo. Those who can use "Enhancements" approach with the aim of Bartolo, Dominique, and Nicolas, while those who remain aim for other adventurers.
"Whoa whoa whoa!
Dominic was the most aggressive man in front of the Gregorians.
I gave my weapon to Reurus and retired the Adventurer completely, but I don't intend to let my family do anything about it. The "Magic Letter" is not engraved, but the big sword whose shape is very similar to that used once was shaken down with all its strength.
One of the Gregorians knocks on the double-edged sword to catch the slash. In the meantime, other Gregorians thought it would be good if they took Dominic down - their thoughts and swords broke their bodies vertically to death.
"Nunnh!
With broken sword fragments and Gregorian flesh dancing, Dominic immediately jumps up the sword he swings down. Then he shook the blade at the Gregorian who was about to pierce the gap and stab the dagger, and the opponent retreated in a hurry.
"Hahaha! How are you doing?! Return to the Adventurer now!
Nicolas smiled joyfully at Dominic, who had his enemies killed with his first dagger.
"... I'm a cook."
"It's not just the ingredients that cook! Whoops!"
The injury sustained by Kimira was also completely healed by the healing magic of Esther earlier. For this reason, Nicolas also made every effort to slay the Gregorians and launch a defensive retreat.
Bartolo also crossed each other with two Gregorians at his side, and Sharon lined up behind him to support the entire battlefield. If there was a problem, it was the adventurers who couldn't use magic.
Bartolo and the others took on the wizard's opponent, which is a 9-to-1 difference in power compared to just a few. However, if the difference in numbers continues to lead to victory and defeat, monster-like creatures will not walk through the streets of the city surrounded by fences and walls.
Surround yourself and defend yourself! They're poisonous people! Avoid it or take it with your weapon!
"Heavy-armed man out front! The others are covered with stones and swords!
The remaining adventurers fighting the Gregorians can't use their magic. Still, we use the technique "rightly” forged compared to the adventurers of the abandoned city of Laval, crossing the difference in numbers without thinking of anything.
Even in the face of Laval Waste City, it is certain to kill all the opponents, but there was no need to take unnecessary risks. If you keep bringing it in the glued state, with Sharon's backup, Dominic and the others will be on the run over time.
The opponent may use poison - the danger keeps them on guard and weakens them slightly with stones and swords, even as they pass the attack.
How many minutes have passed since then?
As Bartolo took down one of the wizards and the faces of the abandoned city of Laval took advantage of the battle, a huge magic appeared in the woods where Reurus jumped in without warning.
"Hmm!?
It was the Gregorians on the enemy side who were most surprised at the emergence of this enormous magic. Those who could use magic turned their gaze regardless of the magnitude of the magic, and those who could not use magic also felt the air change quickly.
"- It's full of gaps.
And the faces of the abandoned city of Laval, which has been killing monsters for a long time, will not miss the gap. Dominic knocks down the opponent, who was heavily defended to buy time, and Valtro and Nicolas also inflict fatal wounds on the enemy.
"Whoa... what happened? Did the Reurus guy do something?
Nicolas mutilated the enemy's neck with her own sword, murmuring that the opponent remained prepared to fight even if she was fatally wounded.
I don't know what the hell happened. Still, the battle outside the woods was being fought in front of the abandoned city of Laval.
'Contract' - Reurus only knows it in words.
I only heard a little from Bartolo, but the “formal" "contract that was made with Eliza's oath had immediate effect.
"... hey"
It was a Reurus who was surprised at Eliza's magic, but suddenly noticed that her right arm wound was healed and she muttered. At the same time, the body, which was difficult to move by poison, was easier.
"Ha... ah... fuu... well, how about that?
It was a Reurus confused by the changes that came to his body, but Eliza on his back called me back with a warm voice. Eliza's body temperature is rising rapidly, or she feels the heat over her leather armor.
"I don't know... no, I can only say it's amazing."
I tried to open and close my right hand, but it didn't hurt. The pain and fatigue that had previously been ignored by "caloric release" have also disappeared.
(What is this... healing magic? Something like that worked? If you think about the union president, is it true that the "contract" also showed me the resilience of the bloodsucking species?
I was stunned enough to lose sight of my surroundings. Reurus holds the sword with both hands while being careful not to appear on his face.
"Hee... I can't believe I'm really going to 'contract'..."
An impressive voice leaked by the priest's man. Reurus, concerned with his tone of mouth, looks sharply, but the man still smiles nicely.
"I'm seeing more magic, and I want to see if I can fight like a monster...!
The man throws a dagger at Eliza to recover the dagger Reus has been playing so far. Its speed is faster than that of the surrounding Gregorians, and if it hits, it will beat power.
"Let me do it!
It's not Eliza that intercepts it, it's Reurus. Compared to before, the body is easier to move, and the three daggers released at the same time fly in one swing.
"I want you to pull back... because I want to know how strong that monster is now... ahh!
Filling the gap with warmth, snake-like movement and speed, Reurus fires a sword at Eliza on his back.
Spike and slash rain utilizing the shortness and lightness of dagger swords. The blow is unleashed with a special intent - Reurus prevents it all.
If he tries to turn to the rear of the Reurus, he follows the movement, and if the prick is released, he plays the big sword together, and catches Eliza's head slash with the big sword.
A heavy weapon called the Great Sword swings at the same speed against a lightweight weapon called the Dagger. Every time the blade and blade collide, sparks bloom and illuminate the surroundings brightly.
"Whoa, whoa! You're probably a monster too!
"Don't bark happily, monster!
The dagger a man waves is no worse than the great sword given to him by Dominic. It was a revulsion that tried to break the big sword with a single blow, but the man's skill and the toughness of the dagger could not be combined.
Even though they were instantly slashed close to ten times each other, they were intact. They open a distance in order to re-divide, and each rearrange the object.
"Hey, I don't think pure physical abilities are enough to prevent this... good eyes, good movements, and good thoughts. It would have been easier if you were a bloodsucker."
(Damn... I can't hold it down with a simple force.)
My health has returned and the injuries I sustained during the battle have healed, but I still can't defeat them. I don't know how much healing power I gained from my "contract" with Eliza, but in the worst case scenario, I needed to be prepared to fight.
At least get Eliza off her back, but the enemy is after Eliza. I'd like to keep Dominiques where they are, but it won't be sweet enough to forgive them.
You can't ignore the magic consumed by "Calorie Release". That's why it's time to worry about the magic drain. As far as I can deduce from the time I fought Kimira, if the magic runs out, I'm going to fall.
That's how Reurus focuses on his magic. Depending on the amount of magic, a forceful breakthrough will be inevitable.
…………
However, Reurus realized that his magic was not less than expected. I thought Reurus had already cut 20 percent, but that's twice as much.
(Is this... magic flowing in?
Eliza, who was carrying her, was able to focus on both arms before wondering why.
"This is also the effect of the" contract "... I'm mainly using my magic."
"... that tone won't stop."
Unexpectedly, Reurus murmured. It was a plain tone when concluding the "contract", but it seems to have been restored.
"Hmm... this is my grandmother's“ imitation ”. Sometimes I wanted to remember everyone... but here's one thing, let's try to imitate the power of Auntie."
What?
There was something caught in Eliza's words, Reurus leaked a suspicious voice. Eliza smiled bitterly at the appearance of the reel and turned her attention to her magic, which had increased dramatically as a result of inhaling the reel's blood.
"Even if Sharon taught me, I didn't know how to deal with magic... and of course not. You don't understand with such a small magic... but now you do. Your blood tells me. Your blood, your strength, is all over me."
Eliza unwraps the hands and feet that wrapped around Reurus's body and goes down to the ground. And he smiled with a meaningful glance at Reurus, pointing his finger at the man of the priest.
"You there! You said you wanted to see my power!?
"Heh... will you show me?
The man hung up at the edge of his mouth, attracted to Eliza's words. Eliza stretched her chest with her arms and smiled against her.
--However, their legs are trembling slightly.
Very well. However, “this is my power, my aunt's power... and the power of Reurus."
Reurus wondered what he was going to do.
Magic is not easy to use no matter how much magic there is. If you can only use magic, you'll be able to use magic on Reuses that use 'Calorie Unlocked'.
I've never met Eliza's grandmother, but what does it mean to have her help? Reurus doesn't know that.
As far as Reurus knows, magic activation requires precise magic control. If you can use magic other than the “normal way”, it's...
"... the Spirit of Lightning."
