A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 197: Request for Investigation Part 4

The sound of white light and thunder fills the surroundings.

If the shock had been fired at close range, his vision would have collapsed and he would still have been temporarily disabled by electric shock.

However, it has no effect on the Reurus, who were observing it at a distance. When I saw the fine dazzling light, my vision became slightly white and I didn't receive anything that could be called damage.

On the other hand, the soldiers who suffered the magic of Kimira's lightning at close range were extremely damaged.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Until then, most of the soldiers who had been crossing each other at Kimira's angle stopped the movement and were ripped off with Kimira's rigid arms and three tails.

In particular, soldiers beaten with their forelimbs covered in a black-light outer shell suffer heavy damage, crushing metal armor and blowing their bodies away like dolls.

No matter how much metal armor it is, it's not like magic equipment. Some of the soldiers avoided by releasing their weapons and replacing them with lightning rods, but the aftermath of the lightning strike seemed to have slowed them down.

"... that's not good."

Reurus murmured as he watched the sight from afar.

Kimira's lightning magic would be the worst match for a soldier holding himself in metal armor. There was no magic like Reurus, and Kimira's thunder magic hit tilted the situation at once.

(I'm not from town, and you can just abandon me....)

Rather, if you think you can “take over” Kimira after it's all destroyed, you can just sit back and watch. If we aim for the moment when we wipe out all the soldiers, we may be able to strike a blow with surprise, no matter how much Kimira.

It was a realuse that I thought about, but I checked Neddy's condition and raised my eyebrows slightly.

Sarah's strangled Neddy is about to run out of restraint, and even if she can't, she's going to shoot the magic.

(Sarah says you can abandon her, but Neddy's not... I'm curious about the difference, but right now...)

Neither Natalia's request nor the risk of damage to the abandoned city of Laval can leave Kimira alone.

"Neddy wants to help people... no, you want to help them?

"... yeah"

"Well... I understand that Neddy wants to help these people. However, if Neddy, the Spirit, makes a move, it may be a bad thing. Do you understand that?

I do not intend to take the lead in helping people who are not part of the abandoned city of Laval, but if Neddy wishes to be a lifesaver to Reurus, he is not hesitant to make it happen.

If there is a problem, Neddy is a spirit. It seems that the adventurers, Reurus, will intrude, but the Spirit's entry into the rescue was likely to attract more problems.

That said, it would also be a problem to restrict Neddy's movements when Reurus begged him to come to the abandoned city of Laval. Reurus, who decided to do so, took a forward leaning position while taking charge of the "Dragon Slash".

"It would be easier for all of us to get in, but maybe we can get the soldiers to complain... I'm sorry to have you haul the truck so far, but Meer, when I get in, go back the way you came. I think I have some money left, but it would be helpful if you could cover it up as much as possible."

"Yeah, okay."

Even if we can defeat Kimira, we may need to flee immediately. Reurus, who realized the possibility, gave such instructions to Meer, and now turned to Sarah with Neddy's feathers strangled.

"And then, to fight the magic of Kimira..."

I'm taking Sarah. It was a realuse that I tried to say, but I noticed that Eliza's expression was greatly distorted at the edge of my vision.

Keep your eyes wide open and then lie down, as if you were biting and killing sadness to endure remorse. Reurus immediately rescheduled because he noticed such a change.

"... Eliza, can I ask you something? It's magic of the same attribute, so I think I can offset it. And it depends on how the soldiers get out, but if you need to escape, use lightning magic to crush them. Withdraw in the meantime."

I'd be happy to do it if I asked, but Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, should not be involved. With that in mind, Reurus decided to ask Eliza for help.

"Uhh! Uhh! Leave it to me!"

Eliza's depressed expression glowed and nodded strongly over and over again. Reurus, who confirmed it, sighed inside and turned to Neddy.

"Neddy wants me and Eliza to stay out of this because we're going to get help... okay?

"... I don't know what's going on around here, so please."

Accept without expression, Neddy. Sarah, who was strangling Neddy with wings, sharpened her lips.

"Reulsu, who am I?

"I need you to search and alert my enemies so that Meer and Neddy can move safely. If there's anything I can do, I can talk to you in" Call to Thought. "Keep your distance for now and get somewhere safe."

"If Reurus is going to fight, I want to fight too... but Neddy is my friend and Meer is safer... mmm..."

It was Sarah who was roaring for a few seconds, but she finally nodded with such a tenderness. The Reurus who confirmed it smiled small and bitter, but he immediately tightened his expression and ran away.

"How many people can move!?

"There are two of us!

Those who are at war with Kimira - men who are in the ranks of soldiers, as Reurus predicted - were being pursued to recover from the effects of Kimira's lightning spells.

The battle of dominance was overwhelming with one shot of magic. I wanted to defeat it sooner than that, before I was struck by magic, but it was also difficult for Kimira to defeat it.

From Reurus' point of view, the soldiers were crossing with Kimira with a high degree of collaboration, but the reality was that they could be shot by magic or knocked down before the magic shot.

"Shit! Why are they attacking two animals at the same time, even though it's important!

"Ask Kimira! If you're stupid, I'll ask you as many questions as I can. Focus!

Among the soldiers, a captain shouted as he pulled out the sword at his waist. Originally using a spear, he let go to guide Kimilla's thunderbolt, which was thrown around him.

This minimized the damage, but no one else could. Some of them were stiffened by Kimira's lightning magic and then beaten to pieces with shaken stiff arms.

Life and death are unknown, and even if they were alive, they would be seriously injured. I don't even want to help, but I can't even confirm it unless I do something about Kimira.

Gruuuu! Gaaaaaahh!

Two chimeras attacked. Ten soldiers, including the captain, were fighting in two hands, pulling Kimira apart one by one, but only three of them were able to respond immediately to the lightning strike earlier.

The captain was one-on-one, and the remaining Kimira tried to contain two soldiers who could move, but only five were able to fight the dominance. It is almost impossible to cross with Kimira without magic and with personal skill alone.

Still, we have to do it. The captain's man stood ready and stood by his sword.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

From the side, there was a roar that shook the air. The captain's man looks reflexively at the killing roar that will surely beat the Kimira before him.

--The third Kimira!?

I think so aggressively, and I feel desperate. Still, he turned his sword to buy time for the wagon behind him to escape - and witnessed a stranger flying towards Kimira.

The movement of the revus was quick after I decided to do it.

"Caloric Release" is used to run with full force, instantly closing the distance between Kimira and the soldier.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I wonder if you're concentrating on the soldier in front of you. Kimila's reaction was delayed, and so was the soldier. Suddenly, he turned his gaze toward a random reel.

But Reurus doesn't mind. Instead, she slammed the love sword with all her might around Kimira's neck.

The sheath remains intact because of the possibility of immediate withdrawal. Still, because of the sharpness of Dominic's big sword that he used to wield when he defeated Kimira, the slashing shot by Reurus easily cut Kimira's flesh.

Gah!? Gaaaaa!?

Whether the surprise strike was effective or a few steps worse than the Kimira Reurus once fought, the more dazed the Kimira's neck fell from the Reurus.

Within a few seconds, blood erupted from the wound and a red fog appeared around it.

Still, Kimira didn't lose her game, so she twisted her body, hung a revus, and hit her three tails like a whip.

"Out of my way!

It is a tail approaching the wind, but its roots are hardly moving. After that, Reurus waved the "Dragon Slasher" to fight back and slashed three tails from the roots.

I pay attention to the soldiers' movements, but I don't see any slashing coming. Confirming that, Reurus smiled ferociously as he saw the remaining crack in the double head, which disfigured him by cutting his neck and tail.

"--First one."

Without paying attention to the rain of falling blood, Reurus slashed Kimira.
