A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 149: Moving Part 5

Reurus holds the big red sword and leans forward. There was a fierce smile on his face, and his eyes were sparkling.

Wow... that's a beautiful sword.

However, without being overwhelmed by such a revulsion, Vaniel groaned with admiration.

"Isn't it? I fell in love with him at first sight."

"I wonder if Dwarf's skills and materials were good... no, now I'm going to admire myself."

When Reurus laughs, Vernier laughs jokingly. However, while praising the beauty of the red sword, the eyes are sharp.

But it's also a terrible sword. The sword would certainly reach me. It's been a long time since I've seen such a sword. "

It seems that Vanille saw at a glance how bright red the Great Sword was a work of observation, cultivated by the eyes of eternal life.

Even the real Reurus didn't understand all of it, but he immediately spotted it just by confronting it.

It shows the fact that a weapon with as much sharpness as a red sword has survived fighting its owner.

"I'm not going to cheat on you, but I'm interested in a weapon as good as this sword."

I'll talk to you later. We should try it now. "

After an exchange of words that could not be said to be a break, Vanille's eyes were once again at war. But unlike before, there were harsh signs.

"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Without a signal, Reurus rushes out. With the red sword on his shoulder, he quickly filled his distance from the Vanier.

If it hits, it will be cut. That's what Vaniel himself admitted.

It can be buried with a magic blade if it's a little too far away. Even if Vanille dodges at the tip of the line, she must be able to tear it apart.

Reurus thought so. That's true - if you turn around, you won't be slaughtered unless you're in time to be slashed.

Vanille kicked the ground and jumped hugely when Reurus filled the gap. A giant body nearly 30 meters jumps lightly, spreads its wings and ascends into the sky.

"... what?

Reurus inadvertently looked up at the sky and shouted at Vanille's actions.

Instead of avoiding slashing, Vanille climbs to a height where Reurus can't attack. Even if you fly a magical blade, it will be avoided more easily than hitting it.

The vanilla had flew into the sky before, but at that time it was idle and sprayed with flame magic like a fixed turret.

But not this time. They jumped up for an “attack", not to avoid the slashing of Reurus.

Vanille wings huge wings and spins the Veos volcano to accelerate. I don't know the exact speed, but the Vanille's giant flew through the sky and the roar echoed.

"Hey... are you kidding me?!

Reurus screamed unintentionally. The vanilla, who took the distance to accelerate, is getting bigger and bigger - obviously “aiming”.

The robust flesh of the Fire Dragon in a giant body exceeding thirty meters. With the enormous magical "enhancement" on it, it accelerates a long distance and penetrates into a straight line.

--It's the same as a giant meteorite at the earliest.

If you have a Reurus with a red sword, you may still be able to slay it. The chances of being able to cut the vanilla in a straight line from the front are not zero.

But suppose you cut it, you'll be crushed to death. Whether it can be crushed by the accelerating Vanille's giant body and brought into battle.

In that case, as if you were aiming at Vanille's neck, which is higher is the velocity at which Vanille comes in or the velocity at which Reurus swings his sword?

No matter how good the sharpness of the big red sword is, it seems that the body of Reurus will be blown away by the impact of the slashing.

(Damn it... when I brought you a weapon that could be slashed, that red lizard...)

Unexpectedly spits ill inside, but nothing changes. If we don't take any measures against Vanille, who will “land" in less than ten seconds, he will be killed.

Reurus can put magic into the big red sword he grips with both hands. If you are going to die even if you cut it directly, you will have to cut it at a distance.

"Ooooooooooooooooo!"

In response to Vanille, who turns huge every second, Reus waves down the sword he holds in the upper stage. The blade of invisible and sharp magic is released.

As it stands, Reurus is the only Ranged Attack he can have, and if he hits him, he'll hurt the Vanilla too.

But it doesn't hit me.

No matter how invisible slashing is, you can feel it if you are more skilled at magic than flying magic. And Vaniel was also a great flame magician.

The vanilla spins in the air. Avoid magical blades by winging and turning them around with little drop in attack speed.

It was an aerial manoeuvre (barrel roll) like a previous life fighter.

Now, what do we do!?

"What are you going to do?!

It can be avoided by cutting with a magic blade, and it can be crushed even at the edge. If that's the case, we have to avoid it.

Reus kicks the ground just a few moments before the vanilla changes course.

If the timing is slightly incorrect, it is likely to be repelled as it is, but using the dynamic vision of "caloric release", Reus can easily avoid a "direct hit”.

"Hmm!?

Still, when Vaniel passed by, the blast floated his body. Glide nearly a few tens of meters into the air with your feet off the ground and untouched.

It was the vanilla that pushed in to scoop through the surface wrestling, but as the Reurus avoided it, it went up again. The speed was only increasing, and by the time the blown Reurus landed, it was ready to attack again.

(It's not easy to fly... in the case of a vanilla, it's so big and sturdy that it won't be stylish.)

It is easy to change the direction of travel, and it is robust enough to collide with the surface with the accelerated momentum. You won't get off this troublesome as a meteorite.

I avoided it! Next!

It was a revulsion that thought it would be possible to kill the vanilla while avoiding it, but the voices of the vanilla shook the atmosphere. Being alert to something, the vanilla approached while maintaining altitude, unlike your current assault.

There was a bonus to the “air strike” caused by flame magic.

"Gu... Sarah!

"Leave me alone! I mean, there's too many of them!

Seeing a herd of fireballs pouring down like rain, Reurus immediately called out to Sarah.

A big red sword would be easy to slay, but it's not as difficult to slay it from the front as it is to slay a fireball coming down from above. In the first place, humans are bad at attacking their heads.

That's why I asked Sarah to intercept it, but it seems that Sarah's share is also bad.

"Mummm! I'm sorry, I can't! Over there, please!

Sarah is positioned to protect Eliza, so there are limits to her support. That's why Sarah cut the “trump card” Reurus had here.

"I command you in Sarah's name, Spirit of Fire! Give fire to my contractor! Reurus, get rid of me!

"Nhhhhhhhhhhh!

Through the "contract" with Sarah, Guren's flame resides in the red sword. I only saw it once, but I also saw Reurus - I shook up the big sword in the lower level with all my strength.

Unlike magical blades, a turbid stream of flames is thrown over your head. The flame drew an arc as if it had been riddled with a flamethrower, swallowing a swarm of fireballs that had been pouring over its head.

Offset the fireball that was fired at the point with a flame on the face. It was made possible by the magic of Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, and the great red sword that could become the “Fire Port.”

A few dozen weapons would shatter instantly, and a single shot with Dominic's great sword would do. But because of the ingredients and Calvin's skill, the red sword doesn't even bend slightly.

Both the rabbit and the horn offset Vanier's air strike. Reurus looks sharply at the sky, where the fire powder is fantastically scattered, and explores Vanier's behavior.

Huh... have you borrowed the power of the Spirit of Fire from a formal contract ! Yeah, that's good!

(That bastard... don't have fun)

The vanilla swings again, increasing its speed. The voices I heard were in a good mood and I was delighted that the Reurus and the others were fighting.

Hearing the voice of Vanille, Reurus slightly diverted his gaze and looked at Eliza with her cane on. Eliza kept putting magic into the ground with a stick of stone, measuring the timing of the launch.

Reurus stands on the front line, Sarah protects Eliza while assisting Reurus, and Eliza stands behind her as a fixed turret. Each has a role to play, but it would be too awkward to call it collaboration.

(Eliza's lightning magic would be the best way to shoot down Vanille... but the question is how.)

With the speed of the electric shock, we may be able to get Vaniel to hit without any devising. But Vaniel will also realize that Eliza is accumulating magic.

Even if the emitted electric shock cannot be avoided, it can be avoided by spotting the signs of firing from the magic flow. In the first place, there is also the question of whether lightning magic is common to the vanilla.

If this was a killing, we might be able to find a way to get ready for a fight, but this time it's a "fight.” Vanille's attack is straying from the realm of fighting, but I'm sure Reurus will do something about it.

It is a valuable experience to think of as training the flying monster opponent, but as a revulsion, I wanted you to be a little more relaxed.

Well, shall I show you one too?

I was trying to figure out a way to intercept it in a short time, but Vaniel moved ahead.

Reurus is alert to what he intends to do. They may use beam-like magic like before.

In this way, Vanille kept flying around the sky - wrapped in flames all over her body.

…………

In that sight, Reurus recalls a monster that resembles a previously engaged Hikuidori. At that time, he had been killed a step by mistake, but being wrapped in the flames of the Vanille's giant body would not be fashionable.

It seems that magic sells fights to various laws around the flames even though it is flying at high speeds. If it hits your body while wrapped in flames, will it be crushed first or burned first?

Unlike "Castle Collapse", Reus feels the strength of the authentic advanced monster, Vanille, and pulls his cheeks.

(Even with a good weapon, you can't win, that's...)

Indeed, with the great red sword, Vanille would be cut. But if Vaniel really tries to fight, he'll fly around the sky as it is. In addition to that, the flame magic was sprayed indiscriminately, and the area surrounding the flame was really poor in nature.

Rather, how can we win?

(... no, can you...?

Calculating his power differential, Reurus turned his back on Eliza and Sarah. Reurus alone won't win, but with the help of both of us, or...

Well then... here we go!

Before Vannille stormed in after declaring "dare”, Reurus gave them instructions and then ran away.
