A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 173: Meanwhile, at that time, part 3

In battle, the difference in numbers is very large.

In a world where Reurus once lived, there were words like a thousand per horse, but the latter would actually win if he fought a thousand on his own. There may be a chance of winning if you repeat a thousand one-on-one games in guerrilla battles, but no matter what magnificent you hit from the front, you must lose.

The situation of fighting a thousand people by yourself would be impossible, but what if it were a situation of fighting three people by yourself? It is normal to be pushed off by the difference in numbers - Laurent was not in that “normal” range.

"Hmmm... it's hard to beat me"

Meer standing in the vanguard and waving her legs, and Sarah covering herself with flame magic. And Eliza sees the gap and casts lightning magic. Laurent murmured with a stunned face before the three men who fought with great cooperation from their immediate but previous relationship.

"Nh... gu... not yet!

Meer shouts her voice with both hands to inspire herself, but it seems to be a full-bodied wound.

I bled from the forehead without cuts and dyed my face red, and several bruising marks appeared on both arms. The iron clumps and patterns at the tip were all lacking, and as close to the limit as the flesh.

In contrast to such a mea, Laurent is intact. There was no sweat, and she behaved as if to try Eliza and the others as declared.

Ignoring Meer and targeting Eliza and Sarah, Meer stops to stop it, and Eliza and Sarah shoot magic as backup. Repeating it over and over again and trying to determine the power of Eliza and Sarah.

After temporarily interrupting the attack, Laurent takes a distance from Meer and scratches his head with his left hand to show room while looking at the three opposing men.

"Well, don't bother judging. The lady in the vanguard is definitely a dwarf... and her arm is a regular dwarf. Is it middle-intermediate, even if it's a high estimate? The ladies in the back, the red ones are intermediate and the other one is not even intermediate... so don't feel weird."

Based on the practical experience so far, Laurent is applying his “character as a monster”. It was easy to understand that Eliza and the others had not reached the upper realm because they had never fought against the higher realm of monsters.

The feeling of fighting is that Meer is intermediate to intermediate, Sarah is intermediate to high, and Eliza is not intermediate to high.

Magic strength, combat experience, magic you can use. It was Laurent who calculated them and concluded, but he was caught up in a slight disagreement with his thoughts.

"Are you serious, or are you hiding your protection? I don't even know the species... not the monster, but the human? That makes me feel uncomfortable....."

Laurent murmured like he was putting his thoughts together. The appearance seemed to be full of voids, but Eliza and Sarah would respond immediately, whether Meer hit her with a hammer or magically attacked.

It is good for us to earn time. That's how Meer stuck her defenses without forcing an attack, and she watched Laurent's movements so that Eliza and Sarah could shoot magic at any time.

"A human-shaped monster that is not a 'change' can heal an injury by some means... if you can't heal the wounds of your companions, it's not healing magic, but protection. That's a pretty narrow list of candidates."

Laurent turned to Eliza, who was supposed to be the weakest. But there was something suspicious about that gaze.

"Lady, are you a bloodsucker?

"Eh...."

Eliza tried to dress up as a poker face, but her shoulders trembled slightly. Looking at it, Laurent shrugged his shoulders.

"I see, this is another rare monster... no, there was a subhuman. The dwarf, the bloodsucker, and what's your girl? You're not telling me you're human here, are you?

"It's human!

"... I don't know if you're serious or not."

In response to Laurent's exploratory words, Sarah answered openly. In response, Laurent sighed and turned to Eliza again.

"Well... that lady isn't serious. No, I may be serious, but depending on the situation, it's still growing. But hey, I don't know how to imitate" assholes ”...."

For some reason, Laurent frowned in trouble. Eliza trembled in her gaze and firmly gripped her wand.

More than that, the Gregorians identified him as a bloodsucker. The Gregorians I've encountered before are just behind my head and my body is about to tremble on its own.

"... you don't have to kill me right now, but I can't leave the bloodsucking species behind. It's as embarrassing as a slime."

Laurent, who came to some conclusion, set up a curved sword, but the words were cut off unexpectedly. Then he took his eyes off Eliza and headed for Lake Mersena.

"... who is it?

I saw a strange man running around holding a strange girl, and he was murmuring.

When I witnessed the sight, Reurus had a little trouble responding.

Kanna crosses Jilba and Jilba one-on-one, and Laurent hunts down Eliza and the others, even though they're three-on-one. Laurent was just taking a stand, but the relative Meer was a mess from a distance.

What happened while I was roaming the slime on a lonely island and who I was fighting against. Reurus, who was running with Neddy in his arms, thought - he immediately abandoned his thoughts.

I don't know who they are. But there are more enemies than attacking. As an adventurer in the abandoned city of Laval, there is no need for forgiveness or hesitation from the point of view of Eliza and her family.

The supply of magic from Eliza and Sarah's "contract" has been revived, dramatically improving the physical ability of the Reurus, which does not reach the "caloric release." Holding Neddy with only his left arm and pulling out the "Dragon Slash" with just his right hand will not stop the disease.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Roar to draw attention and jump with all your might. The target is Laurent, who is confronting Eliza and the others.

Laurent is not upset when he sees a flying revulsion, whether he notices the voice of the revulsion or whether he was aware of any signs beforehand. Turn around and intercept with a flow of motion.

The instinct of Reurus to see the movement sounds alarming. I didn't even cross the blade, but even if I just looked at the stance, it seemed that the opponent's skill was clear.

--But the revulsion still doesn't stop.

Place your strength on the right hand holding the Sword of Love and hit the iron nugget with all your might by hanging on top of Laurent's head. Even if you're slashed or pierced, I don't care.

Ugh!

Laurent was about to parry Reurus's slash. However, I felt the “momentum” of Reurus and immediately turned my back. Even with a bending knife, it is compressed and folded. Even if you try to parry it, you're pushed out. I felt that danger.

Laurent retreated instantly, and the target vanished, making it a feather to strike the Dragon Slasher on the ground. It is very dangerous to be pierced with emptiness, but Reurus stares at Laurent with a sharp eye and controls him.

Reurus!

"Finally, you're back!

Eliza and Sarah rejoiced at the rush of Reurus. Reus glanced at Laurent and took his voice to his back, lowering Neddy, who was holding him in his left arm, to the ground.

"Reurus... hun..."

Unlike Eliza and Sarah, Meer's voice contained the same amount of joy and relief. Reurus stays awake from Laurent and looks at Meer.

Eliza and Sarah were safe, but Meer was in a state of disappointment. Did you continue to stand in the vanguard in cover of the two of them? The weapon is worn out, as is his body.

A worn-out mea and Eliza and Sarah who are wearing some magic but not a scratch. Just seeing the three of them made me realize how I fought.

"I'm sorry, I'm worried... and, Meer, good work. Thank you for protecting both of us. Thank you."

Reurus, who pulled the Dragon Slasher out of the ground, called out as if he was working hard. Eliminating the killing temper that was pointing at Laurent, he stared at Meer with his words of gratitude.

"I want to say I'll take care of the rest... but please take care of her."

Leave Neddy to Meer for now and tell her to back off. Meer nodded her eyes black and white at the look of Neddy, a strange girl brought in by Reurus, but decided that she shouldn't ask now.

"Yeah, I got it!

My body was worn out, but it was a healthy reply. When Reurus broke his face in that voice, he turned back to Laurent with a faint smile.

"I don't know who you are, but it looks like my family has taken care of me."

"... ahhhh, are you Reurus? I see, you're the same monster as the others behind you... no, man... monster... human?

Reurus releases lethal air from the body, and Laurent holds a curved sword. Reurus draws a little cheek to Laurent's words, which raised doubts on his face.

"I don't care how you look at me. Are you asleep?

Sarah, tell me the situation. Who are you dealing with and what the hell is going on?

Normally, you don't ask questions with “enemies.” But the opponent is obviously skilled. For this reason, he tries to get information from Sarah in "Thought Call", whilst tapping lightly at Laurent.

Laurent still didn't miss out on Kanna, a servant who could cross Gilba one-on-one.

Gregorian priest. She said she was a bishop. I ran into him while he was looking for Reurus. "

"Gregorians... and bishops?

I've heard from Zilba that he's strong enough to have defeated an advanced monster. And even a priest can be said to be a troublesome opponent enough not to be such a bishop.

Reurus once fought a priest named Villa. There were Villa's men at the time, but Eliza's lightning spells helped her escape.

The villa was highly skilled and yet Eliza did not hesitate to stab Reurus with a poisoned dagger in order to hate and empower the villas.

The skill level is the same, but I don't know what to do. That is the impression of Reurus on the Gregorians.

The Reurus would have been stronger than when we fought the Villa. "Caloric Liberation" is also free to use as long as it has magic. The magic sent by entering into a "contract" with Eliza and Sarah raises physical abilities, and there is a love sword called "Dragon Slash".

If the opponent had been a villa, not Laurent, they would still have won the battle.

"Gilba said she was looking for an advanced monster to get promoted to bishop... no less capable than a bishop."

However, Reurus tightens his eyes to Sarah's words. I didn't mean to be alarmed, but I raised my vigilance one step further.

"Hey, isn't that the same strength as the bishop... hmm? Looking for an advanced monster?

In other words, it would be just right to hit the slime that was pulled apart but would have followed when we moved to Lake Mersena.

It was a Reurus that I thought about, but I immediately rejected it with my heart.

Reurus?

"... no, it's nothing"

I don't know how many minutes till the slime lands, but my family did. You should repay the debt by yourself.

"Humans... humans. No, I don't care what you say. Compared to the dwarf lady, it seems like it would be fun, and I would like you to speak with a sword."

Laurent, who was murdered by Reurus, lifted the edge of his mouth and said. When he heard that, Reurus lifted his mouth to the edge and kicked the ground with all his might.
