A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Within the two legs, the left leg was longitudinally severed. It is not strange for a human to die from a shock rather than combat incapacity, but the movement did not stop.

Rather than running away, it is a wound that will not even walk properly. Still, I kicked the ground with the remaining right leg and jumped high, staring at the enemy under my nose, Reurus.

As a living creature in the wild, I decided that I had to remove the threat as a monster with the strength to be at the top of the ranks even at the intermediate level.

Running away at the earliest will not come true. In that case, we have to fight with all our might and risk our lives.

Vooooooooooooooooooo!

Rather than the atmosphere, the earth is shaking, and a flame is created in the mouth of the sunflower. After seeing it, Reus took the dragon slash to his right shoulder and lowered his hips, and began to use the magic overflowing by the "caloric release" to his sword as much as possible.

Hikuidori chose to knock on the flame magic with the greatest power he could.

You can also fight in the flames that you have created, but if you can't move freely, it doesn't make any sense. Whether Reurus is in possession of a weapon that can rip off sturdy nails, or he can attack with a flame, he'll just have to be slashed from the front.

Under such judgment, Hikuidori emits flames. If you don't burn out the reuse that doesn't move while holding the "Dragon Slash", you'll smash Guren's running stream.

A firepower that turns into ash by simply plundering if it's a normal person, and leaves no ash if it hits directly. I unleashed a magic spell that could burn down a group of humans against just one enemy, Reurus.

"Ooooooooooooo!"

Reurus shouted in response to the death of Hikuidori. Stepping towards the turbidity of the flame coming from above, he shakes down the Dragon Slash with all his might.

There would have been an option for Sarah and Neddy to shoot magic to offset it, but in that case, only the aftershocks of the magic colliding with each other would cause damage to the surroundings. That's why Reurus chose to intercept alone.

A magical "Dragon Slasher" blade draws an arc in the universe. Cut a flame that shouldn't have a body from the edge and instantly disperse it.

Reurus, who signed a 'contract' with Sarah, the Spirit of Fire, is resistant to heat and flames. Still feeling the heat of burning skin, Hikuidori must have unleashed magic in his preparedness to die.

The power of magic will be intermediate, but far from advanced. It is several times worse than the flame magic of Sarah and Vanille that Reurus has seen before.

The flash that was thrown at the same time as the tread slashed the flame of the sunflower from the front. The clear response was so pleasant as to shake the body - the mouth of Reurus, which was hanging unconsciously, engraved an increasing smile.

Reurus, who made a rough effort to cut the magic with a single sword, kicks the ground and jumps as he sees a flame dancing like a petal in the air at the edge of his sight.

And as he narrowed his distance toward Hikuidori, who was defenseless by shooting magic, Hikuidori kicked him with his right foot, not to mention his last foot. He didn't even think about landing, so he kicked the incoming revulsion in a reflective way.

If the flame magic was a decisive blow, the kick just released would be a “desperate” blow. Even though we know that the Reurus will not stop to that extent, we have to let it go.

It is a revulsion that jumps into the air and cannot avoid the kick of a hiccup, but there is no rush. All you need to do is change the slash trajectory you were about to let loose with the neck of Hikuidori, and slam it into the hook nail that flies with your own face.

However, the feeling on both hands was different compared to when the left foot was cut. Though the blade of the Dragon Slash has cut the nail grown on the right foot of the Hikuidori to the middle, it cannot be cut.

Unlike fighting with your feet on the ground, you may have lost power by not being able to step in the air. Reurus, convinced of himself, began to fall with a blade embedded in Hikuidori's right foot.

Vooooo!?

As the momentum hits the ground, a screaming sound rises from his mouth. Reurus pulled out the blade with force, and he turned to Hikuidori, who was unable to move due to injuries to both legs.

Hikuidori uses a small amount of magic to explode flame magic at close range. I don't know if you tried to kill Reurus, or if you tried to keep Reurus away at all.

All I can say is that if we don't do something about the Reurus that raised the Dragon Slasher horizontally, we will die like this.

"It was warmer than the flames of the Vanier."

And with the feeling of unexpectedly zero from his mouth, Reurus shook the neck of the hikuidori with every flame that was released.

"Adventurers are so strong..."

Ruvillia, who was watching Reurus fight in the carriage, leaked a murmur of admiration. Eliza, who was standing beside Ruville as her escort, hears her thoughts.

Isn't that right? Isn't it? Reurus is strong!

Eliza nodded proudly like she was herself. Ruvillia, who was trying to solve the problem at the beginning of the journey, said that Reurus was praised and abandoned the honorific words.

Anemone, who normally blames it, loses his word when he sees Reurus fight.

"Hey! I told you to cover me, and you're killing me alone! What's my turn? Hey, what's my turn!?

"... Sarah, shut up."

"Ahahah... I wish Mr. Reurus had won without getting hurt."

Sarah screamed as if she was wasting it, and Neddy murmured from the bottom of her heart, and Mea exclaimed with a bitter smile.

Collard, who thought he had to join in if there was anything, had a cold sweat on his hands as he calmed the horse down. Whether they were frightened by the Hikuidori or by the roars of Reurus, the two horses never regain calm.

"... lady, I'll tell you no misunderstanding, but there's so much skill in adventurers... quite a few... no, as far as I know."

Anemone, who returned to me, explains to Ruvillia.

"Really?

"Yes, I don't know everything about adventurers, but if you think I'm as strong as a trained soldier... when I heard I left the Gregorian bishop, I was half-hearted, but as an adventurer, it would be an exception."

"Well... that's right. I've slashed magic, and I'm more relieved than ever to think that someone with such an arm stands as a guard."

Reaching for the mouth, Ruvillia opened her eyes and expressed her surprise. Eliza was nosy listening to those two conversations.

"I'll add one thing, Reurus is probably better at dealing with monsters than humans. Even a soldier hesitates about that physical difference....."

Collard, who finally calmed the horse, added an addition to Annemone's explanation. And when I gave Annemone the rope, I jumped out of the carriage and walked to Reurus.

"Are you hurt?

As far as I could tell, there was no sign of an attack. Still, when Collard confirms, Reurus looks back as he drops blood from the Dragon Slash.

"I don't think so. There are some injuries, but they are quite weak compared to the ones I fought before. The size of the body seemed adult, but the way we fought was monotonous."

It is determined that the Hikuidori who fought this time were probably young individuals with little experience. Reurus' first encounter with HikuIdori was a masterpiece, and it was not comparable to the HikuIdori that he now took on, such as how to read battle breaths and how to set up fences.

Compared to those days, the weapons were different, and the signing of a "contract" with Sarah raised the “ground power”, and I acquired a little skill in training with Collard. I've been in battle with my own kind in the past, so it's probably good to know how to attack them.

"I see..."

Not only "Dragon Slash", Collard slightly clouds Reurus, who speaks with blood on his cheeks. Does the fever of battle persist? Instead of wiping back the blood on my cheeks, I will lick it as it is.

"So, what do we do now?

Reurus asks as he wields the Dragon Slash and draws blood from his sword. By solving the "Caloric Release", I was able to recover some calm.

"There was an unexpected engagement, but as I said earlier, I want to keep going... but I can't leave this monster alone."

Hikuidori is lying down blocking the middle of the street. We can go through the side, but we can't leave the body like this.

"Do you want to take it with you? I also used magic, and tonight I'm going to cook yakiniku with chicken...."

Yes, yes! Let Reurus know you didn't show up! There are about ten heat sources approaching the road!

If you don't flatten the flesh of the hikuidori while replenishing the magic, it is a revulsion that I remember feelings similar to the sense of mission, but I close my eyes after receiving the "thought call" from Sarah.

"... and apparently it moved from over there. Looks like a dozen people are headed this way."

"Mm... if you let the monster escape during the battle, that's a natural thing. All right, Reurus, put the sword away. I will negotiate."

That's what he said, and Reurus put the Dragon Slash in his sheath. The blood of the sunflower is shaking, but I thought I would wipe the fat and clean it later.

Reurus shouted to Ruvillia not to leave the carriage and stood behind Collard diagonally. If it was true, I wanted to move on to dismantling the Hikuidori, but I weighed myself.

And wait a few minutes. As Sarah was right, Reurus whispered to Collard as he saw a crowd of nearly a dozen coming.

You look like a soldier.

"Well... it's probably an army of lords ruling this neighborhood. Good move... the soldiers across the border seem to be strong enough."

As Reurus and Collard interacted, a group of soldiers dressed in metal armor approached. Look at Hikudori's body lying on the ground, his neck falling away, and Reurus to expose his vigilance.

"Who are you guys...?

A commander-like man among the soldiers asks in a low voice. The spear was held in his hand, and the soldiers around him stood on guard.

Probably followed the escaped Hikuidori. No one is on the horse, but they may have followed the blood spilled by Hikuidori.

Collard, who was in front of the soldiers, smiled softly as if he could not see the spear and bowed with his right hand against his chest. At that time, he shows the necklace, which is a proof of the Spirit, and secretly observes the reaction of the opponent.

"We are traveling spirituals. I was heading to La Paris, but I was attacked by a" wounded "monster running down the street.

The commander's man, who heard Collard's words, looks back at the body of the sunflower lying on the ground and the chopped neck, and then frowns. He's been chopped off, too, but his sturdy legs have been cut.

"... spirits... Muslims?

"Yes, I'm a Spirit. You're not mistaken for that abominable heathen... are you?

Collard asked, deepening his smile, and the Commander's man pulled his cheek slightly.

"... that's impossible. But for what purpose did the Spirits visit this country? You're from Mataroi, right?

Although it is a matter of borders, it does not mean that countries are good friends with each other. Rather, they're always exploring each other's gaps.

That's why they're wary of coming in. It can be called "each other," but Collard widens his arms without feeling the fact of the dust.

"I'm looking for the Spirit's 'Altar'."

"'Altar'? What is that?"

"Oh, don't you know? It is a facility to offer prayers to spirits. Recently, we also found" altars "around the volcano of Veos. Wouldn't it be strange if there was an altar somewhere else?

― ― I'm on a journey to find the "altar".

Collard's eyes were filled with a distorted glow of fanaticism. At least that's what it looked like in the eyes of the soldiers who did what.

"If anyone believes in the Spirit, could you tell me something about the Altar? It doesn't matter what little information you have."

While saying so, Collard takes a step closer to the soldiers, but the soldiers are not responding well. The spear is still pointing at the tip of the spear, but the commander's man is looked at as if he were begging for instructions.

"Apparently you don't know anything about it... no, it's bad luck to be attacked all of a sudden by a wounded and furious monster."

Collard shrugged his shoulders in trouble and turned to Reurus over his shoulders.

"But I was able to defeat a dangerous monster before it attacked an innocent people... this might also be a guide for the Great Spirit."

Absolutely.

Spirituals - while impressed by Collard, who behaves like a fanatic, Reurus strikes his gavel.

"Soldiers, we only want to dedicate our faith to the Spirit and feel its presence at home at all. You may change the carriage's luggage or monitor it if necessary. If it's still no good," you'll be judged, "let's go back."

Collard talks sincerely with gestures. Not as much as Gilba, but he looked like a pious Spirit in the eyes of Reurus.

"--Could you just listen to me first?

The Commander's man gave back his vague nod to Collard, who smiled.
