A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 418: Fight of the Moon and Night Part 8

The fight against Slaus was in a state to be called glue.

Even if Reurus slashed it with the Dragon Slash, it would return to its original state, and even if Gilba destroyed her heart, she wouldn't die. Unable to win, but unable to lose, Reurus snapped his teeth as he kicked down the jumping soldier.

How can you kill him? That's the first time I've ever killed someone who won't die...)

Reurus stares at the slaughter floating in the sky, but the slaughter observes how Reurus and the others are fighting with a smile that includes room.

Neither the effects of the Reurus' cut into four nor the impact of Zilba's blow on the heart are particularly visible now.

Like the 'nucleus' of a slime, there is also the possibility that it will not die unless it destroys a specific area. Alternatively, they may die if they cannot be physically regenerated, such as burning to ash.

But it's only possible. Even if we do that, it won't be the third time because Reurus and Gilba have struck twice.

Then it had to be finished from the front, but it was troublesome that the slaughter was floating in the sky. It is also troublesome that no matter how many attacks you make, the soldiers will come to you regardless of their wounds.

If it is so tough that you can't afford to cut back, you can give up even as a revulsion. But the soldiers are quick and powerful, but that's all.

It's easy to kill because you're in the way of a fight, and even if Hector and his soldiers are being manipulated by Slaus, they'll have trouble with the aftertreatment. Even if I asked Neddy to restrain me with ice, I had trouble removing myself from the restraint as long as I didn't put my whole body in ice.

(I'd rather defeat Slause than worry about aftertreatment... damn it, you're not manipulating it with enough strength to wonder if you're going to kill him?

It would be pretty horrible if you were aiming to manipulate it. Do you think that if you don't take Hector and his soldiers hostage, the Reurus will attack them in pieces?

Of course, Reurus and the others are not completely defensive. Reurus and Gilba lack the means to attack because their methods are biased toward melee fights, but Rebecca occasionally lets Winged Dragons attack, and Chris and Tina attack Slaus with magic if they open their hands.

However, the Winged Dragon did not strike, and Chris and Tina's magic was offset by the magic of the same lineage.

Gregorians who once defeated Slaus. I wonder if you know how to defeat bishops like Rebecca, Chris, and Tina, who will be at the top of the list, or if they are confused by the “regenerated” slaw.

Has it been taught how to defeat it, or has it been defeated by a Reurus or Zilba attack if it was a previous slaw?

No matter how many monsters and magic exist in the world, there should be no immortal creatures. If there were such a nasty creature, there would be more information.

Assuming it is normal to fight like Slaus immortal as a bloodsucking species, it would be unnatural if Natalia, who knew who she was when she first met Eliza, did not “deal with” the opposite of Reurus.

Eliza healed herself with a few wounds, but she didn't heal herself as if nothing had happened even though she had a fatal wound like Slaus.

Alternatively, Reurus may have similar healing powers without his knowledge, but Eliza's injuries have been seen many times before. Given the speed at which the wound healed at that time, I didn't think it would be as resilient as a slaw.

Should we look for the gaps in Slaus while decorating the soldiers and wait for the situation to move? Or should I move forcefully?

Normally, it is a revulsion that moves forcefully, but in the present situation, we have not found a way to kill Slaus.

(If it stays this way, it will be poor. Don't you dare to storm somewhere... no, wait.

Reurus, who was fighting using "Enhancement" instead of "Calorific Release" to suppress the depletion of magic, had a lot of doubts there.

When the slashed soldier flew his sword to keep him safe, he stared at the slaw.

(He... isn't losing magic at all?

There is a distance, and it is still in battle, so I can't confirm it. However, the amount of magic that could be felt from Slause seemed to have not diminished at all since the start of the fight.

Slaus manipulates four types of attribute magic, physically manipulates soldiers, and does not know what kind of magic or 'protection' it is, but it stops the Reuses from moving.

Regarding attribute magic, suppressing the power will similarly suppress the depletion of magic, but manipulating the soldiers and stopping the Reurus will deplete the corresponding magic.

Especially, the soldiers use magic called "fortification." Normally, even though "strengthening" is a magic that does not deplete magic, it is different from using it on others.

Even so, I can't feel the magic of Slause diminishing. No matter how much magic you have, if you don't want to use magic, the magic decreases.

(It is unlikely that soldiers are not using 'Enhancements' as long as they can feel the magic. No matter how big the magic you have, if you use it this far, it should reduce the magic a little. So... are you replenishing it from somewhere?

Do you have such magic equipment, or do you have a special way of recovering magic just like Reurus?

That's how Reurus thinks about the most likely way to recover magic.

(If it's a blood-sucking species, it should heal... no.)

Maybe Slause is recovering her magic from the edge she used. The problem, however, is that Slaus doesn't seem to be sucking someone else's blood on the spot.

…………

Reurus looks silently at the nearby Gilba. Then Zilba nodded back a little bit, wondering if she was thinking of something similar.

(I thought we'd be at a disadvantage in the long term, but if the opponent's magic doesn't diminish, it's not a disadvantage)

Regardless of the slaughter that doesn't feel like magic has diminished, Reurus and the others cannot avoid the loss of health and magic that is not injured.

Reurus and Rebecca have a lot of magic, so there is no problem so far.

Gilba is only fighting with Reinforcement, so if she is worried, she will be depleted, but she hasn't been breathing at all so far.

Eliza and the others are taking care of the soldiers while still providing backup, so the wear and tear is small.

However, Chris and Tina were more depleted than the others. It doesn't stop fighting right now, and there's still health and magic left, but it's a lot of wear and tear as Slause takes the initiative to offset it when she casts magic.

It is also difficult to get together in one place and fight together to rest Chris and Tina.

I'm used to the soldiers' movements, so I can join them if I want to, including Rebecca. But if Slaus is not worried about the amount of magic, it is dangerous to gather in one place.

(How could it be blown away as soon as we gather in one place...)

Slause is more likely to use advanced magic if he only thinks about the amount of magic. If you look at the skill of manipulating four types of attribute magic, it's dangerous to decide that you can't use advanced magic.

So far, it doesn't even bode well for powerful magic.

Reurus, Neddy wants to tell you something.

Watching Slaus sends Sarah a 'Call of Thought' to Reus. The realised Reurus turned his consciousness backwards, taking care not to change his expression.

Neddy?

"Yeah... I said I should leave because I can't win like this."

…………

Reurus inadvertently silenced Neddy, who was communicating his opinion through Sarah.

Neddy has never made such a suggestion before. But Reurus thought it would be pointless to say such a thing.

If you can't win, I'll retreat.

Naturally, I didn't think Neddy would propose it.

(Retreat... Retreat?)

Even if I retreat, I don't think Slause will miss it. Even if you retreat, you will not be followed by Slause until you have escaped.

Although Reurus thought so, he was impressed by the words from Neddy, who arrived through Sarah.

Neddy says it's okay to leave town....

(Away from the town of Lemona....! That's what I meant!

In Neddy's words, Reurus stared at Slaus as if he had no idea.

The same is true of Reurus, who gains his magic “from someone other than himself”. When the magic was low, Eliza and Sarah received the magic through a "contract," and their physical abilities were strengthened with a strength close to that of "strengthening."

Such a revulsion has once been swallowed by turbidity when we went to Lake Mersena, far away from Eliza and Sarah.

At that time, the "ideological call" did not go through, the magical connection was broken, and the revus returned to its “natural” physical ability.

(I don't know if I made a "contract" or another means, but I thought I had some strange signs that I was getting magic from the residents of the town of Lemona... but this is troublesome again...)

If the inhabitants of the town of Lemona fall under Eliza and Sarah for Reurus, it's also convincing how Slaus has gained his magic.

Do you only get it from people who have magic, or do you get it from people who don't have magic by some means?

― ― In the worst case scenario, all the residents of the town of Lemona may be called external “magic tanks”.

(I don't know about that resilience... but if you're using magic to heal, I can't kill you like this.)

I'm not sure - but it's what Neddy says.

I doubted that the magic of Slaus was decreasing even as a Reurus, so I decided that I should leave here.

Reurus whispered whispering as he rushed to the side of Jilba while watching Slaus move.

"Let's get out of here."

"... I can't help it."

Gilba thought she should retreat too, and nodded instantly at Reurus's whisper.

Reurus was slightly worried about what to do with Rebecca and the others, but he turned to Tina and the mask. As a result, Tina nodded back instantly when she just said, "Let's run away."

Sarah, I want to stop the opponent from moving. Can you shoot strong magic?

Let me do it!

Originally, I was instructed to shoot magic at any time, and Sarah's response was powerful. And within seconds, Sarah raised her right hand, creating a giant fireball nearly two meters away.

Then I thought my palm was pointing towards the slaw, and a huge fireball was fired at a rate like a shell.

The fireball flew straight to Slaus - exploding before it landed, creating a huge blast of flame in the dark.

"Back off!

Reurus screams as he kicks down the energetic soldier who still jumps in. Then they followed his voice, and all of Rebecca and the others ran out of the place.

――――

The sound of the slaw echoes slightly, making it misleading by the sound of the explosion.

However, the voice did not reach the Reurus and disappeared into the roar.
