A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

(Damn it... I can't see anything)

The first thing I felt was blurred vision, although it was a Reurus that threw Eliza out and fell from her head to Lake Mersena.

The water of Lake Mersena was cloudy due to rough weather, and the sun seemed to have fallen into the darkness, sometimes blocked by rain clouds.

Not only that, but the water on Lake Mersena is very cold. I have traveled quite a distance north of Laval Waste City, but the temperature of the water that I feel all over my body was as cold as ice.

However, the momentum of the water, which crushes the whole body, drives the sense of direction of the revus, and it is not clear whether it is rising toward the water surface or sinking to the bottom.

I don't wear a set of armor, but I hold a big sword in my right hand. As a result, it would be faster to sink before it floats, but with the momentum of the current, the sensation of up and down goes crazy.

If Eliza had fallen, she would certainly not have been saved. Even a slightly swimmer can definitely drown in the environment.

There is no significant difference in vision between open and closed eyes due to intense water flow. I don't even know where I am right now or how deep I am.

(The magic of Eliza and Sarah... is that the surface of the water?)

But if it's a revulsion, there's no problem. Even if the vision is blocked, if Eliza and Sarah, who signed the "contract", are safe, they can trace the magical position to calculate “their position.”

While holding a large sword in his right hand, Reurus uses his physical abilities raised by "caloric release" to aim for the water surface. If you put your face on the water, all you have to do is pull it up from the boat.

Les... woosh! Oh... you...!

(Eh!)

On the way to the surface, Sarah received a "call of thought." But it is an unclear, uninterrupted voice than usual.

Is it caused by being underwater or is there another cause? I don't know, but I understand that Sarah is in danger.

--A huge magical force approaching from the front.

Reurus reflexively holds the great sword “vertically”. He aggressively turned his right hand, which had been holding the handle in the forward direction, and put his left arm against the belly of the sword to take a defensive position.

(Gu!?

Severe impact on both hands. “Something” collided with the big sword with a shield, pushing the body of Reurus back toward the surface. Unlike on land, the body of the revus rotated irregularly, like the leaves of a tree that were rubbed by the current.

No damage - but unexpected shock leaks out of my mouth.

Reurus is human and naturally requires oxygen to live. No matter how many “hidden balls" there are called "caloric liberation", it does not really produce oxygen.

(Shit... the surface of the water... that way!?

By being forced to rotate in the water, water is likely to come in from the nose. Reurus prevented it by breathing out of his nose and tried to explore the magic of Eliza and Sarah and float to the surface.

But normally, I can only feel the magic of two people who can feel a little distance. It was a revulsion that made me wonder if I was in the water, but now it was better to put my face on the surface than to find out the question.

Watching out for the magic of the monster that has been planted on my body, I stuck my legs and quickly floated. He was wearing clothes and holding a large sword, but his body, whose physical abilities had been raised by "caloric liberation", quickly rose to the surface of the water in response to Reus' will.

"Bhaha! Hah... hah... the ship..."

Breathe heavily into the water and wipe your face with your left hand for visibility. Then I followed Eliza and Sarah's magic through my eyes, but there was no sign of the ship in the "visible area.”

Reus!? Reurus!? Can you hear me?!

But Sarah's voice sounded like a "call to thought." Unlike before, it sounds clear because I removed it from the water. Though there are limits to the distance you can use for "ideological calls," it doesn't seem that the distance is so wide that you can't reach your voice.

I can hear you! Sarah, shoot the flames in the sky!

"What? I don't know, but I'll shoot you!

Sarah activates Flame Magic instantly when Reurus gives instructions. And he threw a giant ball of fire into the sky without turning it into rain.

Even if it appears on the water, its vision is poor, but the flame magic that Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, emits is very powerful. Reurus looks up at the fireball launched from afar and groans inadvertently.

(It's been less than a minute since I fell into the water... how much it's been washed away...)

Reurus saw a “small” fireball rising into the dark rain sky. The distance was blurry due to poor vision, but it seemed to be at least 200 meters away.

I shot you! Did you see it right!?

I saw it... damn it, it's too far away!

Was it because water was flowing all over the body in the water, or because the ship was turning towards the shore? Reurus shouted impatiently at a distance from a ship that was much wider than he expected.

Still, it's not too late. We can still catch up if we can swim with all our might. Distances can be filled against turbidity, for example.

--unless there are monsters here.

In the water, the magic approaches directly below the Reurus. Reurus noticed that when he kicked the water hard for a while, he pushed his body as far as possible over the water. And when I gripped the handle of the great sword with both hands, I stopped the legs I was squeezing.

"Ooooooooooo!"

Your body sinks into the water again. Using that momentum, he bends his body and knocks his sword into the water.

Ki!?

What came into my ear was an armpit squeal. It is the culprit of the fish monster, whose realuse struck the skull from the surface of the water, and realizes that the realus was struck with a single blow from the feeling transmitted to both hands.

But it's not like swinging a sword on land. I think it fits the sheath, but the blade stopped when I hit the skull of a fish monster nearly two meters away.

Even if the dragon slash was removed from the sheath, it is doubtful whether it could be amputated in the absence of scaffolding rather than poor scaffolding.

(The first one... ah, did the others stop by?)

The fish monster - the feeling I saw closer when I slapped him, would be closer to a fish monster?

It was a revulsion that sank in the water again after slashing the monster of the lion, but was it because of the flashy outburst or because the “companion” was killed? Until now, I was supposed to be targeting monsters similar to Shachi, but multiple magic spells were pouring in by the rearview.

That's how hard it is to swing a great sword in the water. Therefore, Reus pulled out the dagger that was equipped behind his waist and squeezed it with his left hand.

Although inferior to the love sword, it is a dwarf's handmade dagger. Its sharpness and robustness comes with origami and won't stand in the way of shaking in the water.

I don't know what the sharpness will be because it is underwater, but as a reuse, I was going to slam the magic blade with the magic eye that approached.

It doesn't matter how much control it takes. In the meantime, all you have to do is float on the surface again and take them out one by one.

…………

I thought so, but the magic that was coming suddenly changed direction. He said he was heading towards the rear of the rear of the rear of the rear of the rear of the rear of the rear.

Though I wondered what the hell you were going to do, Reus came up to the surface. And as he breathed, he turned his mind to the point where the monster of the lion passed by.

--Unless you heard Reurus wrong, there was a wet chewing sound.

(... are we going to eat together?)

Probably, but now you're eating the “friends” that Reurus took down. I may have been sensitive to the smell of blood when I was attacking the monster in charge of attacking the ship, not the ship.

The rhinoceros I knew in my previous life also felt like such a habit, but the opponent was a monster. It would be better to escape this predicament now than to explore memories that cannot be remembered immediately.

That's how Reurus explores the magic of Eliza and Sarah to locate the ship. Meanwhile, the turbidity of the Leté River, which flowed into Lake Mersena, pushed the body away.

─ ─ ─! ─! ─ ─!

Sarah? Hey, Sarah!?

I could not hear Sarah's voice when she was on the water earlier. I was told that I was desperately speaking, but I didn't know what I was talking about.

Still, it seems that he is following the instructions given by Reurus earlier. Reurus finds a faint red light blinking in the distance and swims towards you.

The monster of the lion seems to be obsessed with eating together, so we should keep a little distance in the present. It is a realuse that thinks so, but the magic that can be greatly felt compared to the monster of the lion comes in from the front.

It must be a monster similar to the one that attacked the ship earlier. You think the Reurus that fell off the ship is the target rather than attacking it? Perhaps it was we who fell into the water and attacked first.

(Maybe the distance to the ship opened because he pushed me away.....)

Because of poor vision, Reurus doesn't know what's right. If there's one thing you can tell, it's that they're trying to prey on you.

Shachi's monster opens his mouth wide and goes straight into it. The mouth, which was commensurate with the huge body, was large enough to swallow the revus, reminiscent of the "castle collapse".

…………

Reurus silently put the dagger back into the sheath and grabbed the "Dragon Slash" sheath with his left hand. The red sword was pulled out of the sheath while being careful not to let go because it was underwater.

If it comes from the front of the water, there's only one way Reurus can do it.

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Reurus grips the red sword with one right hand, and holds the sword parallel to the surface of the water in a horizontal line with the momentum to twist his body.

If the opponent is not diving in the water, he can be cut with a magic blade. Judging by that, he tries to slash the "upper part” with the face of a monster similar to Shachi - with his mouth wide open.

I don't know the physical structure of the aquatic monster, but I could understand in practice earlier that if I crushed what I thought was my head, I would die.

Therefore, Reus targeted the head of a monster similar to Shachi, but the poor scaffolding still draws its tail.

On the contrary, I felt that the sharpness of the magical blade released in the absence of scaffolding was decreasing compared to normal. Still, the giant mouth is ripped to pieces, causing blood to gush out in magnitude.

"Gu!?

The monster trajectory resembling Shachi was derailed by the intense pain that broke his mouth sideways from the front, and the giant body passed by in order to scavenge the revus. The overwhelming weight of the water generated greatly disturbed the rheumatic posture by just plundering.

Reurus sank three times in the water, poking into the tip of the great sword as he walked right past him. Then my body was pulled over the dagger, and there was intense water pressure.

--It's dangerous to let go of the Great Sword here.

Using such intuition, apply force to the right hand that grips the handle, and desperately hold the sheath that grips with the left hand so as not to let go.

"Hmm!? Oops!?

I don't know where the big sword was stuck in my body, but it would hurt a monster like Shachi. I wondered if the vibration transmitted to my right hand had changed, and the body of the Reus was lifted and ejected from the surface of the water.

Apparently, he twisted his body to pull out the great sword. Pressure was applied so much that it seemed to be close to the limit even as a revulsion holding the great sword with only the right hand, and the body of the revulsion danced over the water with the feeling of the great sword falling out.

But this is our chance.

I was pushed into a state of inability to move in the air, but the body of a monster resembling Shachi was “directly below”.

Reurus desperately aimed in his rotating vision, swinging down his sword with every momentum falling.

On the right hand is the feeling of slashing and tearing meat from the epidermis and scales. Don't miss this opportunity. Stick in the sheath you were holding in your left hand. When you support your unstable body, pull out the slashed sword and shake it many times.

The monster at his feet continues to slash with the momentum of falling apart, faster than being exposed and repelled again, and faster than being lurked in the water.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Blood splashed every time I slashed it, and the monster's body trembled. Reurus realized he was still alive, and when he secured his scaffolding by sticking his feet into the wound, he gripped the big sword with both hands.

With as much magic in his sword as possible, Reus used all his might to knock down a flash of fire dragons, named the Great Sword "Dragon Slash".

――――

Deep scar engraved over the length of the sword. The flash will tear the monster's giant body apart vertically and stop it as if it were a lie.

He cut himself straight from his back to his head.

Convinced that the opponent had been killed, Reus grabbed the sheath that was about to fall into the water and exhaled deeply.

"Which ship... is it?"

She was washed away more while she was fighting, and Sarah lost sight of the fireball. I don't know if the distance was too open or whether it was caused by bad weather, but I can hardly feel the magic that should be connected by the contract.

"... let's get rid of the rest of the monsters first"

Feeling the magic of approaching enemies with a lot of blood, Reurus murmured tirelessly.
