A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 148: Moving Part 4
Hey Lewursu, I've been worried about one thing.
"What?
Almost at the foot of the Veos volcano, Sarah said something in a light tone as usual.
"I was wondering... what Vanier's going to do if we leave like this?
Reurus stopped unexpectedly in response to such an unexpected question.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
"What?
I'm not going to kill each other, but it may have been a joke before we fought a powerful opponent named Vaniel. If you keep turning right and go back to the abandoned city of Laval, you will leave Vanier, who was full of fighting.
"I don't know, but you don't really fly after me, do you?
"I don't think so... I don't know. Maybe this time, but the next time I see you, I don't think you'll be friendly with me...."
If we do that, we'll be attacked with all our might. I'm not going to do it as a revulsion.
"I can't afford to fight firedragons...."
Eliza, who had been listening to Reurus and Sarah's conversation, frowned with a headache. I've only seen it in the last fight, but I still understand Vaniel's strength to the point where he hates it.
But this time, I plan to join the fight. Last time, lightning magic could not be used without "chanting", and Vanille also had the purpose of testing whether Reurus was worthy as a contractor of the Spirit of Fire, but this time there were no such conditions.
When it comes to magic, I wonder if it's necessary because there's Sarah, but Sarah uses flame magic. I didn't think it would lead to the Fire Dragon, Vaniel, but Eliza's lightning magic was more effective.
"We're going to fight as a negotiation over where the dwarves live, so I'd like to fight together... yeah, I'm not sure we're going to fight as a negotiation."
"I appreciate that, but that's no good. Meer and the others are strong, but Vaniel will be kicked away."
Though Meer says she's sorry, Reurus definitely stops fighting. I think Vanille will be a bit of a slacker, but even if she's a slacker, she'll die easily.
Dwarves are as good at melee fights using their physical abilities as Reurus - that's all they can do, but the answer is no.
I'm just going to watch the game this time. For Reurus, it is the “price” of having him make a big red sword.
─ Are you here?
Through the woods around the volcano Veos, Vanier called out, thinking she was waiting.
At the foot of the Veos volcano, as always, Meer and the dwarfs are instantly bluishing their faces as they experience intense pressure just to step into their feet.
The foothills of the Veos volcano have not changed at all since our last visit. There are few grass trees, and black rock skin peeks everywhere on the ground, and objects like jets roll.
The condition of the scaffolding is not so bad, but it is not good. You will need to be careful not to get your feet caught by spray stones or ground undulations.
In such a deadly scenery, Vanier stood at a distance in a magnificent figure.
An enormous body of more than thirty meters. Your body will be covered with sturdy crimson scales and easily bounced back with a semi-life weapon. There is no way to hide the magic or whether it is already in a state of imminent war, and the pressure like a storm is coming.
A mere human being would not even be able to stand on the spot. They must have escaped before they stepped into the foothills of the Veos volcano.
"Oh, here we go, red lizard."
While the pressure is on, Reurus dares to say it out loud. It's not about killing each other. It's called a "fight.”
"Fufufu... what an interesting thing."
"What do you want?
"Normally, people with such a good mouth disappear instantly. But now it's all very comfortable."
Vanille hangs the edge of her mouth for comfort, as she says.
"You're afraid of yourself, but behind it you're trying to be equal... no, you're not. Like other monsters, I only judge if I can eat them. It's a creature called Reurus, not a human being."
"Suddenly you're out of the human frame, you bastard... or you're not going to" take the initiative "to eat someone who really understands the word."
Absolutely not.
"... well, if you're hungry, you might eat it."
Though he exchanges words as a play before the battle, Reurus is slow to appreciate from Vanille. When Vaniel told me that it would be a rare and powerful monster in this world, I was a little confused that I should look at my usual behavior.
Did you praise this? There's a lot of skill in targeting me, Gregorians, but you're something else. It evokes a long-forgotten feeling of fun. "
"Hmm... I wonder if living a long time will make you feel nothing around here."
While saying so, Reurus holds the great sword he was carrying.
"This is me, Eliza, and Sarah fighting together."
It doesn't matter. I identified you last time. This time... yes, it's like entertainment. Let me entertain myself. "
"Ha... I don't even know if my neck falls off while I'm having fun."
Reurus also responds to Vanille, who speaks with joy.
How far can I go now - above all, how far can a red sword be cut?
I was looking forward to it.
"Well then... let's do it"
"Let's do both..."
After such simple words, the curtain of battle rose.
"Ooooooooooooooooo!"
Growling from the bottom of her belly, Reurus runs in a straight line. I've already used 'Caloric Release', and its speed seems to be a released arrow.
It was about a hundred meters apart from the Vanier. Reurus using 'Caloric Release' can run in seconds - for Vannille, it's only a few steps away.
Vanille also intercepts Reus from the front. As Reurus approached, Vanille stepped forward and shook down a giant bowl like a tree.
If Vanille's giant body were a small mountain, his swinging arms would be a huge rockfall. If there is a problem, a direct hit would have the potential to crush a Reurus wearing Dwarf armor.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Exhaling sharply, Reurus shook his big sword “with his sheath on”.
Fight the Vanier. I want to know all about the newly acquired love sword from corner to corner, including the sheath.
The big red sword shows great sharpness, but it is still quite sharp even with a sheath attached. A stubborn opponent would be beaten as a blunt weapon, but a normal tree grown around it would have a sharp cut to the point where it could be cut.
Meet Vanille's giant bowl swinging down from the front. The raised sheath knocks on Vanille's wrist and forcefully alters its trajectory.
The shock is also transmitted to both hands of the Reurus who holds the great sword, but the great sword does not even seem to hold it. Rather, the two arms of Reurus were so likely to come first that they would not break before the owner.
Hmm! It's a sturdy sword to meet me anyway!
"It's the best sword ever!
Utilizing the momentum of knocking out the Vanille's giant bowl, the Reus spins on the spot. Then he used his centrifugal force to wave his sword sideways, but Vaniel jumped backwards and escaped.
Vanille moves on four feet when she hits the surface, but one step at a time is very big. If you jump backwards with all your might, it will only move a few dozen meters lightly.
"It's against the rules to be big and fast!?
As for me, your strength is more irregular......
Saying stunned, Vanille looks at her front right leg, which Reurus knocked out. Only a small amount of meat has not arrived, but a single cut is engraved on the scale.
It may not be a wound because there is no bleeding. But it's been a long time since I've been scaled so lightly.
─ Good! Good!
Speaking with joy and distance, Vanille creates fireballs around her body one after the other. The number slightly exceeds fifty, and may reach a hundred if it fails.
If you shoot in the air, you can avoid it, but Vaniel is going to shoot horizontally with his feet on the ground. Since Eliza and Sarah are behind the Reus, we cannot avoid it as a Reus.
What do we do with this?
Vanille starts firing balls of fire to check Reurus's movements. The aim is rough, but sometimes Eliza and Sarah just sit around and try to limit the movement of the Reurus by adding a time difference.
Sarah!
"Yes, yes! Last time, I meant it from the beginning!
In response to Reurus' voice, Sarah created a fireball to confront Vanille. Then they intercept the fireball that was fired at themselves and Eliza, offset it and destroy it in the air.
While Sarah was shooting at Vaniel, Eliza didn't move. All you have to do is stick the wand to the ground and work its “aim” towards the vanilla.
Hmm... is that the spirit of fire or something? A low-level flame magic can only offset as many shots as you want. "
It was Vanille murmuring somewhere impressive, but his gaze turned towards his feet.
Unlike Eliza, who had Sarah protect her, the Reurus, who cut out the fireball on his own, broke in.
I was yelling earlier, but I didn't raise a single voice when I approached. Rather, he seems to be hiding his killer intentions, recalling the wild beast as a vanilla.
Chi!
Reurus waves his sword as he whispers his tongue at what is noticed. I didn't test the performance of the sheath on a strong opponent, so I don't know how powerful it is, but I tried to crush and fold Vaniel's front leg.
Sweet!
Did you use "Enhancement" or did you just put your strength into it? Vanille also slammed the big sword that the Reus waved to mimic the Reus that had just forcibly cut off Vanille's arm.
Had it been a previous revulsion, it would have been out of the way of the sword. Or he must have been pulled by a sword and disoriented.
But he didn't just make a sword after he broke up with Reurus and Vaniel. I have learned the importance of “technology” and have been scratching my feet to turn it into my own flesh and blood even though it is awkward.
Reurus does not defy the momentum that has been played, kicking the ground and jumping back. However, he controlled his posture so as not to break his posture, and landed with his dagger in the upper stage so that he could play even if there was a chase.
(Your hands are about to numb... but you almost escaped the shock.)
Dominic's great sword, which he had used before, was too harsh, even though Reurus' own technology was low. The red sword is robust, including sheaths, but it is best to avoid burdening the sword as much as possible.
Focusing solely on sword-wielding technology eliminates the “eccentricity” of the revus, so you just need to be conscious not to strain the weapon. Still, the burden on weapons will be reduced compared to before.
It's tougher than the old weapon... but “that's it”?
Tell Vaniel to provoke. Provocation, including Reurus' awkward technique. When he heard that, Reurus smiled bitterly inside, but dared to ride.
"From here on out... well, I still don't know how far I can cut myself."
That said, Reurus is passing his magic through his sword. Then a feeling of something meshing up came from the sword, like during the "caloric release".
"... hmm?
The sheath of the great sword can only be seen as a huge sword by a man who knows nothing. That's why I saw Reus pull out his “sword”, and Vaniel's voice sounded surprised.
Withdrawn from the sheath was a bright red sword similar to Vanille's scale. However, the part of the blade was polished out and it emitted a silver glow.
"From here on out... I don't know how far this sword can go, and I don't know what happens."
My troubled princess wants to slash anything that comes to her eyes. I don't think so, but it can be too much momentum to slash and throw away the vanilla.
Throwing a sheath, Reurus leaned forward with a red sword on his shoulder and laughed fiercely.
