A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Until then, only two tentacles had grown in the sphere, but by adding up to eight tentacles, the appearance became even worse.

It is not used to move like a spider, and there are no creatures in terms of using all the tentacles you have created to attack. On top of that, the appearance of jumping without a preliminary motion can be said to be heterogeneous compared to the slime.

And those black spheres were targeting Sarah and Neddy. Even though half of the tentacles were directed at Natalia, the other half alone is not the number that can be construed as four.

Reurus is slow to respond to sudden actions taken by the black sphere. They cut off half of their tentacles, but I didn't think they were going to attack Sarah and Neddy suddenly.

Certainly Sarah and Neddy have more strength than the monster, but in this scene, it is only as strong as counting from the bottom. That's why the black sphere is targeting them.

"Ahhhhh! It's really disgusting to see it up close!

"......!

Sarah flies a ball of fire at the tentacle that suddenly hits her, and Neddy throws an ice arrow to intercept her. However, the power of the magic used due to the sudden event was only a minor spell - the tentacle burned out with flames and the tip was scattered by ice arrows.

(... did both magic work out?

Sarah and Neddy's magic passed through the tentacle part to the black sphere, which even received the flame magic of the Wing Dragon. The Reurus who saw it raised his eyebrows small.

The magic Sarah and Neddy used was no doubt of inferior power. There is a difference between magic and physical means of attack, but in terms of power, the slashing launched by Reurus will be far more powerful.

Still, the magic of Sarah and Neddy seemed to be more effective than the Reurus, who used "Caloric Release" to exceed his limit and shake the "Dragon Slash".

Is “something else” relevant rather than simple power? Reurus was thinking with a black sphere that had begun to grow tentacles in sight, and Neddy jumped off the roof of the house that had been used as a moving scaffold until then and grabbed Sarah's collar on her back.

"I'm getting weird again..." hey, Neddy? Why are you grabbing my collar?

Maybe it's safer over there.

Say so, Neddy throws Sarah. Rough and cluttered throwing that doesn't seem to be about the same size as each other. It was a Reurus who remembered why Sarah was carried by Neddy, but for the time being, he grabbed Sarah with his left arm and lowered her to the ground.

"Wap! There she is... already! Remember that later! What were you going to do if he attacked you in the air!?

It was Sarah who raised her cheeks to protest against Neddy, but Reurus felt uncomfortable with Sarah's remarks. It was strange that Neddy acted like this, but, as Sarah said, what would happen if a black sphere attacked Sarah in the air.

But Sarah didn't do anything about the black sphere, even though it was full of gaps. I was able to bring back the destroyed tentacles, but if I wanted to target Sarah, I should have.

Did you prioritize the regeneration of tentacles, coincidence, or any other reason? Reurus focuses on the behavior of the black sphere while holding the "Dragon Slash", but at the same time does not lose consciousness from the slaw.

(I've grown up a lot, but what the hell are you thinking...)

Though it occasionally releases magic, Slause's behavior is extremely negative compared to before. As a realuse, it is helpful because you can focus only on intercepting black spheres, but you are also more alert that you are planning something.

Slaus reacted as if he knew what a black sphere was. That may be why you're underestimating the attack, but it doesn't bother you that you haven't been attacked by a black sphere.

It would be helpful if I could buy some time because I was covering for Natalia and the others. However, the black sphere is hard to read from its appearance, and I can't think when it will attack.

Then the black sphere starts moving again. I wondered if I had shaken the eight tentacles a little, and I threw three to Natalia, and the remaining five to Neddy.

The number of units has changed from before, but there is no change in what to do. Reurus trimmed the tentacles after Neddy set up an intercept and made sure he didn't need backup.

But one of the three tentacles approaching changed course on the way. Not only Natalia, but Sarah also seems to be targeting her, and she's changing course like a snake, and she's approaching her tentacles.

(Ain't it about Sarah!?

First, I slash two blades and then I slay the tentacle that is targeting Sarah with the blade that I return. That was the idea of Reurus, but when I slashed the two tentacles and looked back, the remaining tentacles were changing the trajectory even further.

Even though he was targeting Sarah halfway through, he changed his mind and went back to targeting Natalia.

Though again anxious whether it was a faint change or not, Reurus immediately turned his back and slashed the remaining tentacles. And when I cut off the tentacles, the slashed tentacles collapsed and disappeared from the scene.

(Does this look like a mass of magic to me, or is it something else...?

It was Reurus who was still looking for backup, but Neddy was knocking out all five tentacles with ice arrows as he approached. That alone wiped out the tentacles, but the black spheres began to grow them again as if they didn't care.

It was a revulsion that entered the battle against the black sphere once again, but sometimes it appeared before the tentacles were cut off several times.

So far, Natalia and Neddy have been the first targets. The attacking dragon was counterattacked, and the Reurus was attacked suddenly, but the tentacles were less likely to fly than Natalia or Neddy.

As for Sarah, the current situation is that she is not sure. It is highly likely that Sarah and Neddy were not the targets of the attack when she rushed to the scene, but that Sarah was only involved as a result of targeting Neddy, who was carrying Sarah.

It was Slaus who was completely out of the attack, and it was Eliza and Meer who were not sure if they were included in the attack because they were behind Natalia. Chris and Tina didn't seem to be targeted by the tentacles either, but they were close to Natalia or could be caught in a tentacle attack.

(What do you and Neddy... have in common? The attributes are different, but if you can only use Class Magic, Eliza and Sarah are also eligible....)

While holding the "Dragon Slash", Reurus exhales a thin, long breath. Originally, I can't afford to think, but if I stop thinking right now, everything is going to melt.

Because it continues to exceed the limits of "Caloric Release", I don't know how much longer I have to concentrate. I would have exceeded the limit for a longer time than when I had already fought the "neck hunting", but I felt that I had become accustomed to the current state and that my strength could be controlled somewhat.

However, the "Dragon Slash" has repeatedly slashed the tentacles emitted by the black sphere, and the blade damage is becoming more noticeable. I want to shake it so that it doesn't have to be as burdensome as possible, but I can't afford to distract myself that much.

I can still buy time, but it is likely that the Dragon Slash has reached its limit before magic and concentration.

If it's still in its current state, it's still...

"Hmm!?

Until then, the moment Reurus thought, something abnormal appeared in the black sphere. The number of tentacles, which had increased to eight, increased to more than twenty.

I don't know the exact number at first glance. But the moment he saw more than twenty tentacles, Reus ran forward.

Distance increases the likelihood that the tentacle's orbit will change by that amount. Until now, I wish I had stood by as Natalia's walls, but if half the tentacles - nearly a dozen of them - flew in while changing their trajectories, we wouldn't be able to intercept them in time.

That's why Reurus came forward. Closer to the black sphere, it can be cut together from the base of the tentacle. Even if half of them were headed for Neddy, there was a risk that the tentacles, which had increased all at once, would be pushed off by the opponent.

Concentrated, Reurus stepped into the black sphere at once. And the stupid tentacle runs' Dragon Slash 'faster than it moves towards Natalia and Neddy.

When she saw the Reurus behavior, Sarah changed her position to protect Natalia and the others while moving more slowly than usual. And if anything happens, hold your right hand so you can intercept immediately.

"Ooooooooooooooo!

Numerous tentacles grown in black spheres. In order to cut it together as much as possible, Reus shakes down the "Dragon Slash" vertically at the same time as stepping in.

The response is as hard as ever - but it can still be slashed.

Even if they were targeting the Natalians, it would be enough to kill the “root” after moving. It was a realuse that decided to wave the love sword, but the speed at which the tentacle grows and slashes gradually becomes out of balance.

When this happens...

Reurus turns his consciousness inside himself. The number of tentacles that Dragon Slash can be dulled and cut is decreasing, but in that case, the number of tentacles that can be slashed should be increased.

Of course, I can't imitate "dragon slashing" on this occasion, but I could do it because it's a revulsion now.

If Sarah and Neddy's magic works well on black spheres, they can easily amputate tentacles with Sarah's help. Or the black sphere itself could even be amputated.

Focused revus draws on Sarah's power connected by the "contract", and the "Dragon Slash" engulfs the flame. A wounded Dragon Slasher may not last long, but there is no other way to break the status quo.

Reurus shook the flaming "Dragon Slasher" and struck with the intention of sharpening the black sphere for each tentacle - just before that, instinct sounded the alarm with all its strength.

Until then, tentacles that had barely looked at each other were directed at the reus at once. The moment he realized it, Reus waved "Dragon Slash" as he jumped backwards, and hit the flame as a souvenir.

Whether the flames created with Sarah's help had a high effect, more than twenty tentacles “mostly” burned out.

The Reurus, who saw it, leaned forward as he reached the ground and tried to slash the black sphere.

"Ah?"

The tentacle that slipped through the flame pierced the armor and pierced the rear chest.
