A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 295: "Monster Eater" and "Neck Hunting" Part 4

"Hey, what the hell is going on?

Reurus and the "Head Hunter" are behind the battle.

Having distanced herself from the battle by mistake, Ruvillia was puzzled by the sudden actions of Reurus.

From Ruvillia's point of view, Reurus, who had been fighting for dominance until then, suddenly changed his movements. If you think you were struck by a "neck hunt", you move sideways, sometimes rolling to the ground, forcing you to change the direction of travel.

I was also surprised when the "Neck Hunt" began to run on four legs, but I was also surprised that suddenly Reurus began to take “strange actions”.

Reurus' expression is serious, but even slightly he can see the burning color. Looking at it, he didn't think it was a joke, and Ruvillia glanced at what was happening.

"... I don't know at this distance, but perhaps Lord Reurus can see something in his eyes."

Anemone watched Leurus fight the "neck hunt" while defending Ruville, but answered Ruville's question with uncertainty.

From Anemone's perspective, Reurus' actions are strange. I couldn't take one more step against the "neck hunting", which lacked excitement in its movements by stabbing my dagger in the foot.

Looking at the movement of Reurus, it looks like he's avoiding something, but Annemone doesn't even know what it is.

Regarding the skill of Reurus, there is nothing more unexpected from the perspective of Anemone.

Techniques - In the brackets of swordsmanship, Anemone will prevail. Reurus' swordsmanship has not left the realm of baked blades, and there is still not enough sharpening.

However, the physical ability to chase the "neck hunt" and the strength beyond the "neck hunt" made it a sufficient weapon.

Such a revulsion suddenly began to take away the paradox. I don't understand what that means, but there's no way I'm going to start playing suddenly in this situation.

Ruvillia and Anemone were confused by the subordination, but kept staring at the battle between Reurus and the "neck hunt".

"Nh... damn it!

It was a deep wound or a revulsion that tried to attack a "neck hunt" that didn't try to move at all, but it jumped sideways the moment I stepped one step further.

Although I repeatedly moved little by little to find the slashing gap, as I approached the distance to be slashed with the Dragon Slash, the space around the Neck Hunt “swayed”.

The object releases a magical blade when it is tried, but when it hits a fault born in the air, it spreads without hesitation.

(Whatever I am, it's fine... I don't even feel like slashing it with the Dragon Slash.)

What kind of trick, or magic? It's not about sharp sharpness, but I don't feel like I can have a proper meeting even if I slash it with the Dragon Slash.

Better and better, the "Dragon Slasher" is cut as-is. I can't confirm it because I can't try it, but I don't feel the latter as a reuse.

While paying attention not only to the "neck hunt", but also to the signs around him, Reurus rushed around the "neck hunt". So far, it has only occurred around the "neck hunt", but there is also a risk of being choked off as soon as I stop my legs.

For now, it doesn't seem like it can be used against opponents with open distances, like the magical blade that Reurus is releasing. But I don't know when it's coming.

The Neck Hunter may be in control of himself, but it's really dangerous.

There's nothing I can do about it. I don't like it, but it feels like I remember it “somewhere”.

At the same time, however, there was a feeling nostalgic enough to attract the mind.

(... nostalgic, right?

What is that feeling, Reurus shakes his head.

The moment a slit was created in the air, I felt my heart twitching. Or is your soul groaning rather than your heart?

The feeling was very strange - Reurus cut off and discarded it as a useless substitute for killing each other.

(In the meantime, what's the matter with that old man when he hits me one more time?)

Was Axis hiding information, or did the Neck Hunter have the ability to ignore even Axis?

I still have the magic I use to unlock calories. I feel like I'm actually seeing it, but it's still good enough.

The question is, can we get rid of "neck hunting" before we run out of magic?

I put a heavy hand on my leg, so I might be able to retreat if I wanted to. However, the "Head Hunter" may not come after him, and if he escapes, he may never see him again.

"One shot isn't enough... Grandpa, I'll hit you as hard as I can!

Inspired by Axis's stupidity, Reurus stepped into the "neck hunt." However, the tread is considerably warmer than before. If there is any movement in the "neck hunt", we are focused on avoiding it immediately, so we are halfway there.

The space sways and a line is drawn. Reurus, who noticed it with his senses, suddenly lowered his posture as if he were jumping sideways as before. Then he tries to amputate the torso of the "neck hunting" from the side with a "dragon slash".

"Nh... chi!

Although I tried to change the slashing trajectory because I had just targeted my neck when I stepped in, this time I ran a “vertical” crack to protect the body of the "neck hunter".

Reurus noticed that when he stopped "Dragon Slasher" by letting his strength say something, he immediately left the scene.

(It may be good to think that it can be produced with the aim. Just a little time lag...?

Because you're concentrating, the "neck hunt" won't move at all. Just slice into the surrounding space to match the movement of the revulsion, without waving your nails directly toward the revulsion.

It's a Reurus that calmly gathers information, but it doesn't have many hands. If the "Neck Hunting" doesn't work, there's no way to summon Eliza and her friends and smash their magic from a distance.

(... I don't think that's a good idea.)

Intuition complains of discomfort. I feel like I'm screaming desperately to avoid that.

However, the means to defeat "neck hunting" are very limited. As long as Reurus can do it alone, there will be one way.

If you can't solve it by force, you'll have to do something with the technology that beats "neck hunting."

Speaking specifically, keep painting to create a gap. I don't know what reasoning has led to the separation of jobs that create cracks in space, but if there is a time lag, we can still do something about it.

Sword positioning, stepping in, and gaze movement. If they “swing empty” into "neck hunting", there is likely to be a gap to attack. I would like to bump into a killer or turn it off to make it easier to get to the feint.

(... as long as you're wearing it)

But Collard taught me about lethal entrance and exit, but I still don't know who I am. I tried to take a look at my free time during the journey, but unlike swordsmanship, which can be shaped to a certain extent, the sensory part is too large.

I'm good at killing people, but it's too advanced from a revulsion such as instantly catching them and delusing them. It was not a technique that I could acquire after months of training, and I didn't even grasp it.

Success in the crash scene, or fence with just movement. If the killer is always full, the "Head Hunter" is likely to assume that all attacks are serious.

"Phew......"

Take a short distance from "Neck Hunting" and Reurus calms down. I am not exhausted enough to breathe because I am using "Caloric Release", but there was also the meaning of communicating "Let's Go Now" to "Neck Hunting" in an easy-to-understand manner.

…………

The eyes of "Neck Hunting" capture the Reurus. Reurus thought that his eyes, which were still full of killers, were now a little more pleasant.

――――

Without a declaration, Reurus runs. Holding "Dragon Slash" on his right shoulder, he rushed to say that he could make the best blow if he stepped in and waved.

"Neck Hunting" does not move. Until then, the agility seems like a lie, and it doesn't move in anticipation of the revulsion.

If it's convenient if you don't move, Reurus steps in and jumps sideways.

(One!)

Reurus avoids cracks created in the air according to the discomfort felt while running. Instead of rolling on the ground as before, slide your body directly to the side so that it slips over the meadow.

(Two!)

Reurus, who moved directly beside the "neck hunt", tried to hold the sword, but felt the space shake and moved sideways again.

(Three!)

Senses are sharp, and even spare time to blink to concentrate all nerves. Swing your sword at the speed of the sound and pull it back to your hand to avoid the “rupture” released by the "neck hunt".

More than four, five, six to ten.

The timing gradually starts to shift, and the "neck hunting" creates a crack in the air, and the time margin is shrunk.

It would have been nice to be able to decide a match with a single face, but Reurus doesn't have that kind of skill or sharpening. All you have to do is multiply the number of fences to get rid of 'Neck Hunting' and move so that it leads to the last hit.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Intimidated by the roar, he waves the "Dragon Slash" with the overflowing killer. From the side, it seemed to be aiming for a special shot, and "neck hunting" felt the same way, creating cracks in the air one after the other to consolidate the defenses.

Even so, the "neck hunt" does not move. The wound caused by Reurus is not painful, but if we move, we may not be able to use the rupture of space.

"Neck hunting" was able to move freely at its original speed, and if it could even be used to rupture space, it was not a competitor. While watching "neck hunting," which is slowly becoming late for interception, Reurus thinks so.

A Reurus that keeps swinging the Dragon Slash while killing to prevent all attacks from being perceived as feints. Of course, if the slash arrives as it is, I will strike it.

Then Reus, who had been fenced twenty times in a short time, which was less than thirty seconds, came forward to make sure that there was no complete "neck hunting".

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Powerful enough to finish with this blow, but with minimal steps needed, Reus waved 'Dragon Slash' - the 'Neck Hunt' disappeared.

Until then, the exit from the scene was like poking at the realus's imagination, which was only focused on “intercepting”. The speed was very fast and the wound caused by the "neck hunt" may have healed.

And even though it was withdrawal, there was a realus in the direction where the "neck hunt" moved. They tread on each other in such a way that the nails of the "neck hunt" are gently shaken.

"Ahh... damn, I screwed up"

That's how Reurus murmured - his neck bled out.
