A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 69: Madalo Waste City Part 2

Eliza, a race called the bloodsucking species, has a 'contract' with Reurus.

The ties are not visible. It was a kind of magical bond that gave Reurus, the contractor, high self-healing power, a trait as a bloodsucking species, as well as supplying Eliza with her own magic to enhance Reurus' physical abilities.

Looking at that point alone, it seems that Reurus has a benefit and Eliza has no benefit. However, Eliza was also given the benefit she deserved.

One is to be able to handle the 'protection' of Reurus.

Eliza drank Reurus' blood when she made the 'deal' with Reurus. However, the Reurus at that time was mired in the poison used by the Gregorians, and the Reurus blood also had its poison.

Eliza didn't die of poison when she drank Reurus' blood because Reurus' 'Immunity to Poison' helped.

In addition, it can be similar to the "caloric release" used by Reurus. In the case of Reurus, instead of rapidly consuming magic, it raises physical abilities so much that it is not "enhanced," but in the case of Eliza, it causes a phenomenon that should also be called "magic release."

I was breathing Reurus' blood to refill my magic, but even if I used "chant" in preparation for a suicide bombing, I couldn't use “normal” lightning magic. In addition to the "chant", just like the "caloric release" of Reurus, he released magic in one stroke to unleash lightning magic.

However, the suicide bombing of "Chant" left my body covered with wounds. Even though I sucked the blood of Reurus and stored my magic, I was only able to reach the intermediate level of strength.

And there were other benefits for Eliza.

Just as Reurus sensed Eliza's magic and found out where she is, Eliza can also sense Reurus's magic.

Normally Eliza sends magic on a one-way street to Reurus, but this is because she wins with her “normal magic amount.”

It is a realuse that expresses enormous magic by using "Caloric Release", but it has a different way of storing magic than ordinary wizards, regardless of where it is stored.

When you're not using Calorie Unlocked, you're just an adventurer who doesn't feel magic. In this state, Eliza sends out magic that is better than her magic amount.

But on the contrary, there were times when magic flowed from the Reurus. That's...

― Caloric Release .

A tremendous amount of magic is wound from Reurus' body. The man holding Reurus's shoulder let go in surprise at the magic that suddenly broke out.

"So get the hell out of here!... ahh, magic is coming this way already!? When this happens," Enhance "!

Eliza, who had jumped into Reurus' body, tried to 'strengthen' using the magic flowing from Reurus and her own magic.

I had Zilba 'fortify' me on the road from Laval to Madalo, and I had the trick. What was missing was the magic of manipulation, and there was no shortage to express the "strengthening" of something that was not enough.

The hand of Reurus, who activated "Enhancement" and activated "Caloric Release", gently peeled off Eliza.

"You're a good kid, so why don't you just stay away? Can you evacuate the contents of the desk?

"... yes"

No matter how much 'fortification' I used, I didn't originally have the ability to confront Eliza with weakness. Still, he looks up at Reurus as his last resistance.

"You can't kill me. The people of this town are the same as the people of the abandoned city of Laval....."

Eliza talks about things in plain language only. Reurus smiled deeply at Eliza's words.

You're not going to kill your people, are you? But, no. "

With a smile on his face, Reurus grabbed the edge of the table that Eliza had begun to clean up with her right hand.

"I hate... three things I can't forgive."

The table is made of wood and weighs a few dozen kilometers, even if estimated lightly. However, Reurus did not care about its weight and put his strength into his right hand.

"One is home. I've always wanted to destroy a village like that."

In a hurry, Eliza lifted the dishes on the table and began to evacuate them onto the chair. In the meantime, slowly, slowly lift your desk.

"One is the one who makes the bad mess. Even if it tastes bad, I appreciate it, but whoever cooks dishes that taste bad and poisonous enough to kill people, taste it."

The scream of the table rises from the razor and the part where Reurus is gripping. Still sturdy, the table won't break, and it will be lifted in conjunction with the movement of the reels.

"And one last thing."

And finally, the table was raised above Reurus. The man involved in the revulsion looks at the table lifted to the ceiling of the restaurant and opens his eyes and mouth wide.

He's the one who makes the food worse.

That said, Reurus waves down the table by the man's brain. That's why I'm not going to kill you, so I won't give you any momentum. I just wanted to “lay down" lightly on the weight of the table.

"Uhh... uhhhhhhhh!

A man who was stunned, raised his voice when he realized that the table was approaching. At the same time, he puts his hands out and grabs the table, trying desperately to push it back.

Aren't you a wizard? I don't feel any sign of magic. Still, he was holding the table with his adventurous strength.

Reurus' left hand stretches to the neck of such a man. Whether a man accepts the table or not, he sneaks into his pocket.

"Huh!? Hyu... gu, bu..."

Reurus grabbed the man's neck and slowly applied his strength. Reurus sang with a smile on his face.

"Hey, hey... what do you want me to do?

Tighten your neck with cotton and apply a little force to your left hand. The man wondered if he should take his hand off the table and wave the left-hand side of Reurus, but if he let go of his hand, the table would fall. It looks like it will suffocate as it is.

"Hih, gu... no, stop!

"I can't hear you."

If you lift it with your left hand, it will “fall”. Perhaps a man's own weight will break his neck bones. Reurus, who thought so, lifted the man's body just a little bit lost - just before that, a tall bell sounded from outside the shop.

Kankan, a metal sound that echoes continuously with Kankan. If you're taking the same approach as in the abandoned city of Laval, it sounds like an emergency.

When Kimira appeared, she also rang the bell to let her know. Until then, the shop's customers who had been surprised by Reurus' behavior also looked outside the shop as if they had been played.

"Here we go! Intercept!"

"Bring me the bow!

If you can't get rid of him, take the wounded outside! Even if you drag me!

A voice close to the fury you can hear from afar. It seems that the monster attacked me, but at the same time I heard some disturbing words.

"Reurus... that much..."

Reurus sighed without looking back at Eliza's voice from behind. Then he took his hand off the man and slowly lowered the table he had on his right hand to the floor.

"--next time."

Throw such words at the man and take the great sword that was standing on the wall. Then he unwrapped the cloth that covered his sword and looked at the door of the restaurant with his shoulder.

"Is it an intermediate monster that you attacked Eliza when she was there? Or is it ineffective because it's in town... either way?"

"Fuck! What the... fu... what the hell...?"

The man who took off Reurus' restraint asks that while holding his throat. When he heard that, Reurus hung up the edge of his mouth and laughed fiercely.

It's a distraction.

Leaving such a word behind, Reurus ran away.

The sun has already fallen, and bonfires have burned all over the town to light the surroundings. In the abandoned city of Madalo, the idle air in the evening was like a lie, and the adventurers were running right to left.

In such a hustle and bustle, Reurus runs silently.

(Ah... I wonder what this feeling is)

The physical abilities raised by the "caloric release" are immense, and run for more than five meters in one step. Ignoring the surprising gaze from the surroundings, Reus reached the outer walls of the abandoned city of Madalo without killing the momentum.

(Didn't you think you were such a temperamental person, or did you feel that rice tasted bad for the first time in fifteen years...)

He kicks the ground with full force and leaps with his sword on. And when I landed on the top of the earth wall, I jumped again.

(I wonder how angry you were when you could use Caloric Release, which was only available when you were dying... your body is pulling your consciousness.)

Around the abandoned city of Madalo, several bonfires were set on fire, just like the whole town. However, apart from the bonfire, there is a place where a wooden fence set up for defense is on fire.

It was Orzo, the bear monster that I encountered last night, that I saw in the light of the burning flames.

It's more than a turn smaller than what Zilba knocked down, a little over two meters from the distance. However, I wonder if the arm like a clown bear is still alive, or is the flame spreading around while knocking down the surrounding tree fence.

Around such a clown bear, the adventurers were building a siege fence while arming each other. Apparently there is no one to defeat one-on-one, and they are willing to stand up for numbers.

However, the bears who beat him with their loggy arms to manipulate the flame magic were the opponents. It is very likely that they will be kicked even if they stand up to the group. They still hold their weapons because the abandoned city of Madalo is an important place for them.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The bears roared, and Guren's mouth was wide open. The adventurers who saw it turned pale and wondered whether they should be slashed or retreated.

Regardless of the adventurers, the bears spit out the flames. It wasn't the fire bulb I saw last night, it was a band-shaped flame that ripped out the surroundings.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Jump, further jump the wooden fence on the path to the scaffold. Reurus, who jumped over the heads of the adventurers, grasped the great sword with both hands and waved down with all his might toward the approaching wave of flames.

There is no response. However, with the magic of Reurus “on” the big sword, the flame is cut, and the excess sword wind continues to melt, flying the two right arms of the bear.

"Haah!? Whoa, whoa, who the hell are you!?

From the adventurers, Reurus suddenly appeared from behind. Such a realus cut open the flame magic, and he looked at it with dismay as he cut off the bear's arm.

"Reurus, a junior adventurer from the abandoned city of Laval. I want to dress up as a helper on request..."

The right arm of a chopped bear dances through the sky. When Reurus grabbed his arm in the air, he bit into a bloody cut and ate the meat - laughing.

"Now it's just a distraction. I'll take this prey."

Let's bake it thoroughly later. With that in mind, he rests the arm of the Bear on the ground and rearranges his great sword.

Gah, gruuuu......

Suddenly, the haunted bear, who had his right arm cut off, was rolling to the ground, out of balance. I tried to move with the remaining left arm and both legs, but suddenly I couldn't move satisfactorily due to the effect of the loss of my arm.

Still feeling the lethargy of Reurus, he concentrated his magic in trying to express the flame magic again - Reurus stepped in with all his might and threw his sword straight to the side, and the neck of the broken bear danced in the air.

"Today was the day of the bear, hey."

The neck of the Bear fell to the ground, and the rest of his body fell down with a noise. Reurus, who continued to hold his sword unabated, was unexpectedly murmuring about it.

The bears that Zilba defeated were adults, but the bears that Reurus defeated were small. Still, there was no change to the monster called Orzo, and if there was a difference, there was only the lower superior power.

(Eliza stopped by because she was in town... ah)

I didn't have a brawl, but I shook my big sword and felt a little refreshed. Though I feel that the anger has faded slightly, Reurus speaks out in his heart.

(Yikes... I left Eliza behind...)

Luggage is also left in the cafeteria. Reurus sighed at himself who jumped out short-circuited and turned to the adventurers who remained solidified behind him.

Can I take this?

"Ah, ahh... it's yours because you took it down... what are you going to do?

"Fur and liver are sold. After that... you want to eat?

I was going to relieve the remaining stress with a meal. And a souvenir to Eliza.

(I wonder if Eliza would forgive me if I let her eat the fresh bear's guts... that's impossible...)

Gift small things with the rewards of the Crusade and the money you sold the materials.

Reurus thought so and sighed deeply while releasing the "caloric release".
