A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 453: Heterogeneity Part 3

Until then, Chris and Tina, who were supposed to have disabled the inhabitants of the town of Lemona, suddenly appeared, and Reus slashed the tentacles released from the black sphere and raised his eyebrows.

I'm not here to help, and all of a sudden I'll have to do is get confused when I say, "Buy me time." In the first place, I wondered what happened to the disabled residents.

In addition, Chris and Tina show unprecedented changes in their appearance. I expose my face by taking a face that mimics a fox, but there is a change not only in the face but also in the “other part”.

The head has a triangular ear that thinks it belongs to a fox, and even an object that looks like a tail peeks at its face. In addition, I felt that the amount of magic wrapped around me was increasing.

Was it transformed by 'change' or something, or was it transformed into what it is now, or was it someone else who imitated the two?

It was a realuse that even thought that Slaus had planted something to expose the realuse, but it was inferred that Chris and Tina themselves would not react because the dragon that knew them.

"Block the sky!

"So protect me until then!

As Chris and Tina shouted as they were chopped up, Reurus slightly patrolled.

The black sphere fell and my consciousness was headed your way, but there was still a “crack” above the town of Lemona.

It's a few metres in size, and we can see if it reaches five metres with Reurus. The blue sky is pulling like a cracked egg, and somehow black “something” like the night sky is reflected.

The crack does not appear to spread or narrow - but there is no guarantee that it will remain like this.

I would like to think of it as "no" as a revulsion, but there was also the possibility that a new black sphere would fall. Of course, Reurus does not know what will happen to the crack, whether it will fall or not.

Then it would be one hand to believe Chris and Tina who knew something and shouted to block the crack in the sky.

Except for the difficulty of buying time with a black sphere and a mouse.

(Even if I told you to buy me some time... damn you...)

As far as Reurus knows, "chanting" has some regularity, but its length is not the same. It can vary as much as the user or situation requires.

It is a storm that shoots away everything and wipes it out. A stormy arrow that nothing can stop. "

And after listening to Natalia's "chant," Reurus decided that it would still take time. Regardless of the words of "chant", the magic of Natalia continues to swell.

With Natalia's skill, you will be able to perform some combat action while performing "chanting." But I was completely stopping my feet, closing my eyes and concentrating everything on my consciousness because I believed Reurus would never protect me.

Reurus also trusts that Natalia will be able to take care of him if he tries to protect him. That's why I'm shaking my sword while desperately preserving my self, even beyond the "calorific release".

"What happens when you block the sky!?

Reurus screams as he slashes the tentacle that keeps targeting Natalia.

If the black sphere disappears as a result of blocking the crack in the sky, it looks like it's dying. If the black sphere disappears, Natalia "chants" and knocks the wind magic she exercises with all her might into the slaw, and Reurus stabs her to the ground to win.

But whether or not it will be carried so well. Tina's response to the Reurus, which raises such questions, was misguided as a Reurus.

"I can't kill this thing without blocking it!

"Hmm!?

I swallow up the question of why I know that. Prior to that, Reurus focused on the black sphere, confirming the “magic flow” as he did when he saw the mouse.

However, I don't feel like magic is flowing into the black sphere just like I checked earlier. It was a Reurus who wondered what was going on, but as far as Tina's desperate expression was concerned, she didn't seem to be lying.

"Ugh... oh, shit! How long do you need!?

"... three minutes!

(Says indiscretions inside!

To Tina, who thought for a few seconds and shouted, Reurus shouted in his heart.

If you have 'Caloric Release', you also have health. However, in addition to the magic turned to "caloric release", the concentration that continues to exceed the limit, the chills that are likely to cut off consciousness and even lose self if you lose consciousness. And above all, whether or not you have the sword of Dragon Slash.

Even protecting Natalia was enough. Even if Chris and Tina are told to protect them, there is no guarantee that they will be protected.

"It won't last long!

Still, Reurus undertook. Chris and Tina are not lying and are complaining that they should follow their own instincts.

After hearing Reurus' response, Chris and Tina immediately turned behind Reurus. Then, when the face of the fox in his hand is emptied, he starts "chanting" at exactly the same time.

Great spirits, many spirits, white dragons that protect the world. We are the children of the demon fox. "

(... what?

And in the "chant" that he heard, Reurus felt doubt.

Even though the Gregorians asked the Spirit for help in "chanting," above all, there were multiple opponents called in "chanting," and other than the Spirit was mixed up.

What do you do with them in addition to "chanting"? I couldn't afford to think deeply about it.

"Nu, gu... gi..."

The loss of consciousness is causing the concentration that was turning to "caloric release" to deviate. Reurus instantly regained his focus and put his strength into the hands holding the Dragon Slash.

(... okay)

Stopping on the brink of returning to "just 'caloric release'", Reurus exhales small. However, it felt slightly different from before, and I raised my eyebrows unexpectedly.

Sarah's magic, which can be felt by signing the "contract", is moving to a fairly close place. Compared to earlier, I felt that the “balance” of magic that was pushing into my body had improved.

Reurus thought that it would be easier to move than before - the tentacle released from the black sphere was approaching in front of him.

"Hmm!?

Until then, the tentacles suddenly flew in a slightly delayed reaction, even though they were not always looked at. Still, Reurus knocks his neck down to avoid the tentacle, but the tentacle passes slightly to shred the flesh off his neck.

"Ghhhhhhhhhhh!

Blood sprays out from the neck, but whatever it takes, Reurus flashes the Dragon Slash. Then the tentacles were slashed and flew, but another tentacle flew in pursuit of Reurus' face.

It was a realuse with a "Dragon Slash" to intercept, but suddenly the tentacle stopped. Reurus remembered for a moment whether he had been caught by the feint, but the tentacle moved slightly forward and went back to confuse him.

――――

Feeling his neck healing in an instant, Reurus turned a puzzling gaze at the black sphere.

I thought I was the enemy because I had slashed the tentacles many times, but then there was no need to stop the attack. Attacks that deviated from previous patterns were effective, and even though they avoided fatal wounds, they were about to be taken up from the neck. It won't be a reason to stop chasing.

What the hell are you doing?

What are you thinking or not thinking about? When the black sphere produces one tentacle slashed by a revulsion, it swings again with a revulsion.

But when Reus tried to cut it off, he stopped moving and turned to Natalia.

Chris and Tina, who are performing "chanting", don't look at each other, and try to avoid the tentacles and aim for Natalia. If I wanted to target Chris and Tina, it was a realus that was about to be slashed instantly, but I was confused by the movement of the tentacles and abandoned it if I still wanted to target Natalia.

Aren't you going after these two?

The tentacles avoided Chris and Tina, even though they were going to defend themselves. Then, the moment you think about what to protect from, the movement of the black sphere suddenly changes.

"─!?

The black sphere, which had not tried to move until then, jumped like it ignored gravity. Then, if we increase the number of tentacles to eight, we fly half to Natalia and the other half to the wrong direction.

"Uhhhhhhhh!

Half of the increased tentacles are four times as many as the two before. Reurus shakes down the Dragon Slasher with his magic, and succeeds in cutting it hard while feeling a hard response.

(The other half is...)

It was a realuse that looked at where it was going, but it quickly became clear what it was looking for.

"Wow! What's wrong with this guy?!

"... disturb"

The tentacles were headed for Sarah and Neddy.
