A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 292: "Monster Eater" and "Neck Hunting" Part 1

― ― Speed that doesn't stop you from seeing this?

Having seen the battles that could be fought in front of her, Ruvillia had such an impression of nature.

"Ooooooooooo!"

Crack Crack Crack Crack!

Growl and growl. And bumps into each other's metal sounds.

If the blades of a product collide with the claws of a creature, it is more than a strange sound. But it's either “crazy” or not.

Beyond Ruvillia's gaze, there is a battle between Reurus and the 'Neck Hunter'. However, both of them did not stop and meet, but moved at a speed that seemed to remain even in the aftermath and hit each other with their swords and nails.

Unlike Anemone, Ruvillia, who is not at war, does not know whether Reurus or Neck Hunting will prevail.

Sometimes I stop my feet and compare my strength, but I rush out to meet, or avoid attacking each other, and busily change my standing position while leaving the reverberations behind.

The speed of "neck hunting" is unusual even for amateurs. I wonder why the giant is able to produce that speed.

And with such "neck hunting" movements, there was also an abnormality in Reurus swinging his big sword beyond his height.

"I can't believe this....."

Unlike Ruvillia, Anemone groans with admiration as she sees the battle between Reurus and the "neck hunt". Anemone stands ready to protect Ruville no matter what happens, but his gaze seems to be nailed to the battle between Reurus and the 'Neck Hunter'.

"... so amazing?

"Even our Knights will have a handful of meetings. I can't assure you because there will never be a fight... but I think it's enough to be a" one-on-one ”match with one finger."

That's what Anemone said, and Ruvillia turns her gaze to the rushing Reurus.

Ruvillia has lived a rough life, but has seen various people as born in noble houses.

The knights who serve the Värg family and the knights who serve them. Even more, I have seen many who lay down in battle until I was a soldier underneath.

As far as I'm concerned, so is Anemone. Louis, his brother, Carlo, his cousin, and Sebastian, who has served the Värg family for many years, are many people who remember their arms.

Looking at Ruvillia like that, there's something amazing about Reurus fighting. I think so purely because I am an amateur.

If you succeed, one of the town's advanced monsters will not take a step back and cut into each other's corners. I've seen places to fight on previous journeys, but I admire that this is the strength of Reurus' adventurer, nicknamed "The Monster Eater."

From Ruvillia's point of view, the Neck Hunt is a terrible monster.

The stench that you can smell even at a certain distance is a terrible killer that is likely to tremble from the bottom of your stomach. I can only say that the shape was tough at the earliest, and I have bad tastes such as the “neck ring” hanging on the neck.

I've never been so obsessed with such a monster that I can't sleep in fear. Lille's long journey to the Great Forest is too bloody for the noble children to experience.

The “battlefield” of the noble children also had a strong ugly side. Still, from Ruvillia's point of view, it is warmer than the fear that preceded the advanced monster.

"Eh...."

Ruvillia holds the hem of her clothes tightly to suppress her fears.

It is Reurus who is fighting for his life on this spot. Speaking up can be confusing because it can disturb focus.

Swallow the bitten voice, Ruvillia just stares at the battle ahead.

--He answered my request for help and asked me to leave it to him.

Therefore, all Ruvillia could do was hope for Reurus' victory.

In his thoughts and vision, which is accelerated by "caloric release", Reus instantly waves "dragon slashing" while watching the movement of "neck hunting".

Use all your might from the beginning, and it will remain the same until you defeat your enemies. Kill them, run out of magic, or die under attack. It could end that way, but it can't stop now.

To describe it as like a beast, some strange "neck hunting" moves unusually fast, contrary to its unbalanced appearance.

The giant body, nearly two meters away, moves at a speed that can shake through the Reurus, which uses' Caloric Release '. Regardless of how much magic exists in the world, Reurus wanted to laugh that there were no laws of physics.

Reurus stood in front of Neck Hunting, but is Neck Hunting targeting only Ruvillia or ignoring Reurus and trying to kill Ruvillia?

If the realus blocks the front, it runs to the left and right, and if the realus follows the speed, it shakes its nails depressingly. If you're out of your mind for a moment, you can break right and left, or you can get your neck choked.

"Ooooooooooooo!"

Reurus' Dragon Slasher intercepts the shaken "Head Hunting" claws. Instead of cutting the wind, even the space is about to be torn apart, and the slash that can always be special is played directly from the front.

From "neck hunting", your nails are too sharp to be weighed, and you can shake them with speed and effort in mind. If you wave your nails vertically and horizontally, you'll be able to tear them apart as intermediate monsters.

But it won't reach Reurus.

Play or accept the "neck hunting" nails that are shaken at a velocity like a blush, and keep beating them without hurting them as much as hair.

The opponent is faster, so the sword swing is minimal. Still, force can be firmly applied so as not to be pushed back. By doing so, the “slashing" of "neck hunting" can be surpassed.

(... I see... this is what killing is all about)

It's a slower revulsion, but there's a reason it's slowing down attacks.

'Neck Hunting' is too honest to know where he's targeting.

And that's what Reurus pointed out earlier from Collard.

It is easy to discern the killing intent of "neck hunting" so that the realuse can feel it in action - "even though it is so” mutually cutting is that the speed of "neck hunting" is abnormal.

Unlike the Reurus, which only shakes the Dragon Slasher, the Neck Hunt has claws on both hands. It's not so different from playing with a double-edged swordsman, it's like playing the blade of a rotating mixer along with the speed of Neck Hunter himself.

Of course, I'm not playing all the slashes that the "neck hunter" makes with Reurus. Avoid what can be avoided, sometimes dare to step in and catch the arm instead of the nail.

A momentary judgment that asks whether to accept or play or avoid, a step forward, and a weak power to wave a sword. One of them could have died instantly if he went mad.

Speed is inferior to "neck hunting", strength is superior, and technology is superior.

It was a short period of time that could only be said to be a baked blade, but the technique taught by Collard brought the battle against "neck hunting" into a state of antagonism.

"Neck Hunting" is not only a killer, but also an honest way to fight. The superior speed and the sharpness of the claws of both hands make him say things, and he makes a series of attacks like rage.

Compared to such "neck hunting", it is a little "kneaded.” Reurus feels it strongly in a situation where he dies instantly by mistake.

Kiki kiki!

As a result, the movement of "neck hunting" changed unexpectedly.

Until then, he was trying to defeat Reurus, who would have prevented him from reaching Ruville, but he would have distanced himself from approaching the battle. He then made the speeds say things and made a big detour to get closer to Ruville.

Instead of running away, the obsession around trying to get back to Ruvillia must be terrible. However, no matter how much we detour, the Reurus is faster to block the path.

"Then it won't come out. If you want to reach out to the princess in the back, kill me."

Reurus stepped in as he approached "Neck Hunting." The left nail that is shaken is played with "Dragon Slash", and the right nail that is shaken by pinching it is turned into a mere blow by stepping one step further.

"Hmm!?

The moment I confronted the "neck hunt" at a very close range, my huge mouth was opened. Then he tried to poke his sharp teeth at the neck of Reurus.

Oraaaaaaaa

Giggle!?

As the face of the neck hunter approached, Reurus thrust his head into the nose with the momentum he had stepped on. At that time, the teeth peeking from the open mouth cut deep into my cheeks, but “such a thing” won't stop the revulsion.

Since neither swords nor nails can shake with each other, Reurus targets the "neck hunting" eye with his left hand away from the "Dragon Slash". No matter how fast you move, you can cook whatever you want to crush your vision.

However, "neck hunting" is not foolish enough to crush your eyes. He jumped backwards in a hurry to avoid it - it was still in the middle of a revulsion.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Step in after the retreated "neck hunting" and cut up the "dragon slashing" that stood in the lower stage. With the intention of splitting it into two straight pieces from the crotch, I let the sword flash.

Giggle!?

The voice of anguish leaked from the "neck hunt", but the response was shallow as Reurus was still at a distance while swinging his sword. Still, a scratch was engraved on the chest of "Neck Hunting".

Reurus is not satisfied with it and goes one step further. Return the cut blade and shake it down with the intention of knocking it off the head.

"Kiki... kiki?

But it's just not the second time. The Neck Hunter retreated instantly to avoid the slashing of Reurus - where he leaned his neck as if he felt uncomfortable.

Reurus raised his eyebrows to such a "neck hunting" technique, but immediately realized what he cared about. Until then, the “neck ring” worn by the "neck hunter" was cut off by a series of defenses and fell to the ground.

"Ki... ki ki ki ki ki!

The "neck hunt" that noticed raised an angry scream. He waved his arms around and chewed and snapped his teeth like he was about to step on it in the basement.

While looking at such a "neck hunt", Reus licked his own blood passing through his cheeks. My left cheek was cut deep by daring to poke my head, but it wasn't enough to reach my mouth. If I leave it alone, it will heal in a short time.

But I think it was a mistake to get too close. If I had been pushed in with my arms instead of shaking my nails, I might have been bitten and chopped in the throat.

It will be saved by the thinness of the Neck Hunter's combat experience, but it will not be enough for him to save his life if he fails.

(You're going to lose “extra baggage” over there, too... it's going to be light from here on out)

In response to the killing of the "neck hunter", who stripped out his teeth and intimidated him, Reurus also raised the killing temper - his mouth was hanging naturally.
