A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 228: Principles of Action Part 1

The anger you hear as you keep your distance and the tingling air that makes your skin numb.

Sarah and Winged Dragon shoot flame magic and Eliza uses lightning magic to support Reurus, making it feel like the air itself has heat.

Neddy, who was backing away as an escort for Esther who was exhausted by keeping the Great Spirit Comona in her body, stared at the sight of the battlefield with a narrow gaze.

Meer, who was escorting Esther with Neddy, also watched Reurus fight. If there was a difference between Neddy and Meer, it would be the look on their faces.

Meea frowned somehow with regret and tied her lips to the first letter.

There is only one Ranged Attack in the Reurus line, and they can only fight at close range, so if the distance is open, nothing can be done.

Rebecca manipulated the soldiers to break through Lewis's line of troops, but they're not here yet. Just hold the clasp firmly with both hands and watch the state of the battle.

In contrast to such a mea, Neddy's expression is not unusual. You don't want to regret it like Meer, you don't want to be frightened by the air of battle, you just stare at the sight in front of you.

Soldiers desperately push their Rebecca manipulated allies into shape.

Collard and Diego inspire such soldiers and hold their own spears and swords in line.

Louis commands with a loud voice.

Sebastian crosses a fist with a magical doll imitating Gilba.

Sarah shoots flame magic at her opponent, who will rival the advanced dragon.

Eliza exercises lightning magic to avoid accidentally shooting Reurus while being careful not to use too much magic.

And while bleeding from your mouth, Rebecca and Reurus cross straight.

Among them, Reurus, Sarah and Rebecca attracted Neddy's attention.

Sarah is a Spirit just like Neddy, though she has different attributes. Reurus has a "contract" with Sarah, and is still shaking the "Dragon Slash" with flames.

The confronting Rebecca was a magical doll, not a “body”, but the anomaly could be seen from a distance. The amount of magic beyond the spirits Sarah and Neddy is also true, but the way they are heterogeneous and distorted attracts Neddy's interest.

It's been less than six months since Neddy set foot in the "world of people”, not just the isolated island of Lake Mersena. I spent most of that time in the abandoned city of Laval, but I was able to deal with a lot of people.

For such a Neddy, the current state of affairs is distracting. The passion of dozens of peelers present here brings a great wave to Neddy's emotions. You may say that your mind is disturbed.

The voice of the beast Reurus, the flames that collide and explode in the air, the sounds of lightning that occasionally pop, the screams of soldiers that evoke themselves, the metal sounds of swords and spears, the voice of Lewis in command, Rebecca's mad laughter.

There are some discord, but it sounds interesting to Neddy.

I accept Reurus's words and serve as Esther's escort, but if I'm not careful, I'm going to walk out of here.

The magic of freezing the slime for many years has recovered a little, but this time it's a fight between people. Unlike slime times, you don't progress into battle.

Like Sarah, you can't take the initiative to get mixed up in battle because you have a contract.

Still, the Spirit, given the name Neddy by Reurus, was still staring at Reurus' back.

--I was just staring.

Sebastian took out a magical doll that imitated Gilba, so the balance of victory and defeat gradually began to tilt.

As Rebecca's manipulated soldiers become disabled, they slowly, but surely, turn their victory and defeat into something obvious.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Ahahahaha!

Still, the battle between Reurus and Rebecca is uncertain.

Rebecca laughs with joy from the bottom of her heart in response to Reurus, who slashes with air flames that are no less than the dragon slaughter wrapped in flames.

Regardless of the magic or the difference in technology, Rebecca plays with her bare hands a blade that even cuts the skin of the Fire Dragon Vanille. The slash is shaken by the slash, and the slash is beaten by the slash.

Reus, the party involved, had his tongue wrapped around his heart as a “blow battle” was fought with a great sword and bare hands.

(Shit... I can handle it, but it's troublesome to simply be strong.)

Cut with a big sword and fist while changing the standing position.

Reurus and Rebecca, who are holding the Dragon Slash with both hands and shaking carefully to avoid a big swing, are almost at the same speed as each other by throwing their fists.

When you think about swinging a big weapon, Reurus is better at physical abilities and speed, though it is a small difference. But Rebecca has a technology that's bigger and better than Reurus.

With Sarah's help, the body of Reurus will not be manipulated after the Dragon Slasher has placed a flame in it. My hands and feet moved according to my will, and I no longer missed the slash trajectory. Otherwise, Rebecca's movements would not have been followed.

In addition, it felt like Rebecca's movement was slightly slow if it wasn't her fault. Slightly out of your mind, you may slip into your pocket, but you seem to be lacking in excitement compared to the beginning.

"It's fun! Yeah, it's fun! Let's dance more, more, more!?

However, the blunt movement seemed to be exalted by Rebecca. Irregular magic swayed, and the strength of the fist released varied, making it difficult to cope.

"Gu... I don't have a hobby to dance and enjoy with dolls!

I tapped the blade into the fist that was thrown at my torso, and the voice of Reurus trembled slightly in response. No matter how many times you cross blades and fists, the shock is both physical and visual.

Rebecca's fist is as hard and heavy as a steel sphere, and the "Dragon Slash" is likely to be played from Reurus' hand when it hits each other. It was a revulsion that pushed it into power, but the gap between the appearance alone and the poor maiden was terrible.

Previously, when Zilba and Gregotian bishop Kanna fought, Zilba held Kanna's sword with her bare hands. It was a rough business to bounce back from the "front” to the bottom of the palm so that the blade did not slip, but now I can see how Canna feels in Reurus.

It's a heavy weapon called "Dragon Slash", not a small dagger, and I'm experiencing the same thing with the flames wrapped around it, so the impact is probably higher on Reus.

"Ugh!?

The moment I slightly lost my mind, my fist flew over my face. Reurus avoided his fist while tilting his neck, cutting up the "Dragon Slash" to cut Rebecca's flank, which had been emptied by sticking out his fist - and pushing the blade in with his bare hands, as he expected.

"What a terrible person to think about" other women ”when I'm in front of you, very terrible person."

"Ha... do you think you're in a position to be cared for? If you want me to be careful, show me something more cute."

Rebecca murmured while holding down the "Dragon Slash", spitting out her thoughts. At the same time, I pulled the dagger from the back of my waist away from the "Dragon Slash" pattern in my right hand, and I caught Rebecca's heart hanging at the incision.

"Oh, look out."

Though inferior to Dragon Slash, even a dagger with a sharp cutting edge resembling a dwarf's work can be accepted with bare hands.

"Compared to this burning sword, the dagger is of better quality. Besides, I think it's a good decision to pull out the dagger at this distance, yeah, I think it's very good."

"Eh... thank you for that."

He holds the Dragon Slash in his left hand and the Dagger in his right hand, both of which are being held down. Wherever the force was swinging, the arm was reversing, and Rebecca changed the direction of the force according to the slight movement of Reurus.

Even if it's so tight, Eliza can't shoot lightning magic to get Reurus involved. Rebecca stared seriously at Reurus' face.

"Fufu, you're being honest. That's a lovely place... but I'm sorry my arms aren't catching up with the weapon, yeah, I'm sorry."

It was an indication that Reurus was also painful.

It's been about a year since I became an adventurer, but the way I fought Reurus is basically by pushing for "calories" and "contracts" with Eliza and the others.

The more you hit, the stronger it is, but if someone with the skill to make it work, the fewer hands you can hit.

Reurus waved his sword in his spare time, begged Dominic to teach him, and played a mock battle with Zilba, but he was a world-class man. Rebecca also had a part of her strength similar to Reurus, but there was no doubt that there was a big opening in the years of drilling.

"Even if you can defeat advanced monsters, you're not good at interpersonal combat? I'm not a good fighter among the bishops, but I'm a good fighter."

Reurus answers nothing to Rebecca, who smiles at close range. It has not just begun to be a bad technician.

Advanced monsters such as "Castle Collapse" and "National Eater" were also helpful to Reurus, even though there were differences in body toughness. The gigantic body that can deliver a blade even with a techy revulsion was very compatible.

In that regard, opponents who do not use the power of Gilba or Rebecca are very incompatible. If the opponent is a human, it will be slashed on the assumption that 'did you know such a thing', but Rebecca is a magical doll in front of her.

Bringing it into battle will only result in Reurus losing his life. In order to protect the abandoned city of Laval, if you want to protect your family, you will have to stop it, but not this battle.

Rebecca, smiling at what's fun, is certainly the enemy. It was also a vengeful opponent who tried to manipulate herself to kill Eliza and the others. The more Rebecca in front of her makes her think she won't quit the fight, the more she is angry at Reurus.

But even if I let anger shake the blade, it won't arrive. That's funny.

Inspired by Rebecca's movements, Reurus's movements are gradually becoming “wasteful”.

To counter bare hands Rebecca, the big slash is as compact as possible, but still with a single blow. Accepted with bare hands, but powerful enough to be a special hit in an emergency.

Using the ideas that are accelerating by "caloric release," I try to read Rebecca's movements at all and try to get ahead - but I still can't reach them.

No matter how much Reurus is aware of the technology, it is impossible to surpass Rebecca's pile of diamonds during the battle.

There is still magic in 'Caloric Unlocking', but if we keep fighting, it will be exhausted. If it's one-on-one, we'll lose the Reurus at that point.

However, this is not a one-on-one battle.

…………

Rebecca's gaze slightly shifted and turned towards the rear of the Reurus. The line of sight had some strange color, and Reurus was unexpectedly caught and looked behind him.

Is it a line of sight? It was a realuse to think like that, but I noticed signs of slowly approaching myself.

And at the same time that Reurus noticed the main sign, Rebecca interrupted the comparison with Reurus and jumped back.

The next moment, something flies to where Rebecca was. It struck the ground hard, drawing arcs, avoiding revulsions.

"Well... Yokohama isn't so innocent."

Rebecca, who retreated instantly, muttered in a mood.

Behind his gaze was Neddy, who was always manipulating the light blue cloth that was wrapped around his neck.
