A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 381: Chaos Part 2

When Reus heard that the surrounding heat source was coming, he switched to "Thought Call" instead of "Dragon Slash" and called out to Sarah.

Which is the closest heat source?

Left side from Reurus! Very close!

Listening to Sarah's words, Reurus immediately rushed out. Then, magic entered the realm where Reurus could perceive it, so he immediately turned his eyes.

It was Griffon who called for the Griffon you just took out, and it was Griffon who showed up again from the woods. It is about a scratch on this side of the body, but despite the injury, it came in a straight line towards the Reus.

Behind such a griffon, you can see the bears that had been at war before. Probably chased the Griffon, but when I saw the revulsion, I applied the brake and slowed down.

Sarah, let me know when the monster approaches! I'll take care of him! If there's a monster coming your way, we need four of you to intercept it!

Yes, yes! Leave me alone!

When I instruct Sarah, who is most familiar with the “connection" of the Idea Call, Reurus intercepts the incoming Griffon. When Griffon thought he kicked the ground while keeping Reurus in sight, he burst his wings and quickly emerged.

Quyeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Then the magic was unleashed with a roar. Realizing that, Reus flashed his magic in the "Dragon Slash".

"Stupid!?

It was a revulsion that severed a chunk of the wind released by the Griffon, but its posture was slightly shaken by the aftermath. However, there is no pain just because the balance is broken when pushed by the wind.

It must have been the restraint that was unleashed to buy time to fly into the sky. Reurus chases Griffon, who is trying to escape through the leaves of the forest, and uses Reinforcement to run up the trees on the path.

And now I cut it directly without using a magic blade. I can't step in because of the air, but I still try to cut off the griffon with the momentum of running up the tree.

Keike!?

Griffon leaked a slightly surprising sound to Reurus, who had no way to fly but had been slashed without a doubt. Still, did you decide that it would be dangerous if you were slashed with the Dragon Slash? Then you turn around and take immediate evasive action.

Turn around and avoid slashing through the left-hand side of the Reurus swinging his sword.

"Let him escape!

Reus forced his left hand away from the handle and grabbed Griffon's wings. Then squeeze with all your might and pull the griffon with your left hand.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Regardless of being pulled by gravity and starting to fall, Reus waved the "Dragon Slash" he gripped with his right hand. And when I flipped the griffon's neck, I changed my posture, kicked the falling griffon's body and jumped straight to the side.

The bears that stopped moving were the ones that jumped first. The Reurus spins around in the air, making a magical blade to cut through the branches and bears under his eyes.

Huh!? Goaaaaaaaaaa!?

The Bear is aware of Reurus' actions and attempts to leave the scene. However, the judgment was slightly slow, and the magical blade released by Reurus broke off two of the four arms of the bear.

It was a haunted bear screaming from severe pain, but Reurus did not mind the dust, and as he landed on the ground, he rushed towards the haunted bear.

Then, the moment I caught the painful dull moving bear in time, I walked in and shaken the "Dragon Slash" in an oblique trajectory.

The neck of the haunted bear runs through the universe, and blood erupts from the cross section of the chopped neck. Reurus exhaled one breath, deciding he would die if he chopped his neck off if he was a bear.

Reurus, now to the right!

Almost simultaneously with the voice that prompts Sarah's attention, she feels magic and killing. Reurus fell on his knees instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the magic that flew past the position where Reurus' neck was. It must have been the blade of the wind that the Griffon had unleashed, but by delaying the magic fly for a few seconds, the trees whose trunks had been cut off by the blade of the wind began to collapse.

Reurus turned his gaze in the direction where the magic came from and noticed a griffon lurking in the grass. Apparently, they sneaked up on me while I was hunting down other Griffons and Bears.

(I wonder if magic can even reach at this distance... hey...)

There are dozens of trees between Reurus and Griffon, but it gradually begins to tilt to see if all of them were slashed. The way he fell was irregular and he didn't know in which direction, but the Griffon winged as he expected.

Following the blade of the wind, this time Griffon creates a gust of wind with a momentum that could blow humans and the like. The power is so great that the fallen trees are rushing towards us all at once with a realuse.

The Reurus who saw it immediately pulled the Dragon Slash out of the sheath. There were a lot of trees that could be avoided and it was difficult to avoid them.

--Slash it.

While squeezing the Dragon Slash, which exposed the bright red sword, Reus used "Calorie Release." And with all his magic in his sword, he flashes into a single letter.

Cut off the flowing trees, cut off the wind that pushes toward them, and cut into two the body of the griffon that was ahead of it.

"Ghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Although the trees were cut apart, they did not disappear to the momentum pushed by the wind. Realizing the trees approaching by crushing the reals, the reals were pushed up by the urge to spring up from inside the body and shook up their right leg.

Kick the trunk of a flying tree drawn by the momentum of gravity and wind. The momentum was so great that it collided with other trees that followed, forcing them to change course.

Still, the trees that fall toward Reurus are mutilated with the Dragon Slash to get things done.

A little revulsion!? What are you doing!? The tree blew up with such momentum!?

I was careful not to involve Eliza and the others, but the trees seemed to be blowing up. Sarah's stunned voice flies over the "Thought Call", but Reus can't afford to answer it.

The fallen object transformed into a log, not a tree, by repeated slashing, and this time, he slammed into the front kick. The horn rabbit that was trying to escape the scene was ahead of the logs that kicked him off.

The logs kicked by Reurus flew in with the wind chirping sound, and the momentum ran over the horn rabbit.

(This one's so close.....)

Your body is moving exactly as you were aiming for, but still, when you relax, you're overwhelmed with power that's about to burst out.

Whether the accumulated magic fell within the upper limit of what can be dealt with in the Reurus or not, the impulse was modest compared to the day before yesterday when I used "Caloric Release".

Critical amount of magic you can handle. While knocking the upper limit of "as is" into the brain and body, Reurus kicked the ground out.

Unlike last time, I saw the bears in the distance whether it was caused by the magic amount or if I gave up running away. For this reason, they ran to kick out logs and trees scattered around them, and attacked the transformed bear.

The Bear waves four arms to resist and strikes. The more direct hit it is, the more powerful it is to crush and break the tree, but it won't hurt unless it hits. If you cut off your arm before hitting it, there's nothing wrong with it.

Now it's coming from the left and right! On the right... uh, three!

Reus, who had slashed the Bear to pieces, listened to Sarah's words and turned his consciousness from side to side.

The horny rabbit runs from the left, and the three magic dogs run from the right. Did you choose to fight rather than flee because you thought that running away with your back would not help you escape, or that you could do something if you attacked more than one?

It jumps out of the corner of whether it is 30 centimeters or not, and even if it is slashed, it is not said that it will be slaughtered. With the momentum of hitting the whole body, the horn rabbit comes in like a bullet.

Kiki!?

――――

However, from the revulsion in the state of using "caloric release", it was a speed that could be captured with plenty of room. Grasp the protruded corner with your left hand and swing it around to hit the magic dog that jumped from the right as an instant blunt weapon.

Squash rabbits weigh tens of kilos and are heavier than Dragon Slasher. Still, if you swing around to take advantage of the momentum that jumped in, it becomes a weapon that can knock down the Magic Dog.

When I hit the horn rabbit on the magic dog, I let go of my left hand and shake down the "Dragon Slash" I held with my right hand only. Then I slaughtered the horny rabbit and the magic dog together, and the blood returned to stain Reurus' cheeks.

"... it's not enough."

I licked the blood back to my cheeks and the Reurus murmured.

The number of heat sources Sarah sensed and the number of monsters Reurus took down is not even close.

--That means there are still “prey”.

Now that this is happening, we have to take care of it as much as possible. Reurus, who decided to do so, ran away with the "Dragon Slasher."

"... so? Is the result of the riot“ this "?

Three hours later, Reurus, who was judged to have killed some monsters, went to call Collard and Dwarves, but when he checked the “scene”, Collard shouted surprisingly.

Not only monsters, but dozens of truncated trees - and if they succeed, more than a hundred are rolling. Many have been cut by Griffon's wind magic, but many have been cut by Reurus.

"I'm sorry."

For that reason, Reurus lowered his head without excuse. The dwarfs are looking stunned and retrieving the bodies of monsters like Griffon.

"I understand that Griffon noticed me and had to fight... but that's just too much, isn't it?

"I'm sorry."

There were other monsters, but I thought it was a chance because the number of Griffons seemed to be decreasing. If other monsters are distracted, I wonder if they can destroy each one.

As a result, we were able to take down eight Griffons and four Bears. In total, we were able to take down nearly thirty monsters, so it would be a huge battle result.

But if they say it's too much, I can't deny it. "Caloric Release" was used moderately, so the magic drain was not so great, but when it came to fighting in the woods, the surrounding area would be damaged.

Eliza and the others fought and took out about five monsters, but unlike Reurus, they didn't destroy the environment. Mia stopped the monster's legs as a front and Eliza chose a magical method of warfare from a long distance, so there must have been no element to destroy the environment.

"... well, in any case, they were the ones who had to fight. If we were able to take care of it without any damage, I would not say any more. But we need to clean up."

Collard says he's tired as he tests the Griffons that Reurus took down. The reduction in the number of monsters threatened by Baron Amondola's territory is welcome, but it is not a tribute.

"I can't help it if I chop it off... for now, Reurus, I'll order you to remove the stump. It is also close to the rocky mountain of Griffon, and if you remove the stumps and level the ground, it would be a good base to investigate the surroundings."

"Got it...."

"When that's over, investigate where the monster went and take care of it as much as possible... so that the trees are not slashed too much."

Reurus could only nod to Collard, who said he was stunned.
