Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

374. On the Road Over the Winter Mountains

"I see..."

The driftshield who saw the sight roared in a convincing mood.

"This is... amazing..."

Belgrette, right next door, stares at it halfway.

The place is a short stop away from the village by carriage.

Mountain roads with considerable lateral widths, probably due to frequent travel to and from the northwest. It is itself covered in white snow, but can pass on it because it is no longer solidified.

Sometimes conifers in shapes similar to umbrellas flock down the road, and there is less snow than I thought - rather than the impression that less snow along this tree is used as a passage.

The problem is that even the two carriages are so gentle and different - the point is that the part ahead that we are about to go on is completely buried by the snow pushed from the slope on the left.

The snow mass is around a meter high. Human beings alone may be forced to penetrate and go to the other side, but of course it is impossible for carriages.

"Sora Sakuragiri says it's a snowflake..."

Assuming that this avalanche fits in the moment it happens, humans and others must be swallowed up instantly and it must be over.

As I was mingling and realizing the threat of nature, Sabel, who had walked out, looked back at the line.

"Okay. We've got weather, and let's just do it."

Twenty-two adventurers and merchants, all of whom want to go northwest, gathered on this occasion. There were roughly twelve practitioners of flame and water attributes who could handle the Divine Chant "Oracle" on a practical scale.

"Well, I'll be there."

"Oh, Mr. Bell, I asked you to."

As we decided before we left, the Mages, the chanters of flames and water, line up with the slack before the snow blocking the way.

"Good luck, Sabel!

Next to Liquid Care, Julie, the blonde beauty, was yellow cheering on her own lover. By the way, she says her attributes are wind, and I can't take part in this operation.

(Well, with all the users of the wind attribute, it seems like it could have been hot air or something...)

For now, the flame is a must, just to say that there were many water attributes in those gathered this time.

"Well, why don't you give it a try? The star is all water users, thank you very much."

Using Sabel's words as a signal, everyone began chanting in unison.

First of all, the users of the water attribute manifest and wait for a swirling running flow around themselves. Then, shortly afterwards, the twitch happened.

Though the same water, the Divine Chant "Oracle" shows various shapes and scales by the operator. Among other things, attention has been drawn to it, which Belgrette now has.

"Oh, that's amazing. I don't think you can."

"Uhm, you're a pretty good user......! And sorry, no."

The merchants watching over the achievements also seemed unable to hide their surprises.

"Heh. Hey, hey, it's hard to do, she"

against Julie whispering like that,

"You must be, you must be"

I also bragged about the flow protection.

What Belgrette wants to summon is a serpent of water shining in silver. One of the secrets she prides herself on, Aquastorm. Wrapping a vast vortex it sits quietly waiting for the Lord's assault order.

"Whoa, I heard the story, but it's splendid. This guy looks like a broken bone substitute for warming up. I'll do it. Just give me a minute."

Like stroking a beast, Sabel put her hand on Aquastorm.

Here it is time to use the flame. Pour heat into the technique created by the water chanter Magee and others.

"Eh, you sabel. I'm in charge of that lady..."

"Give it up, Collare. That stupid big water technique, it's not a substitute you can handle. You're not the only one, that girl. Look, you hold on to my water and put it on fire. Look, be polite downstairs... Look, good. Look, more thoughts, oh..."

"Don't make a spooky noise!

Starting with the collares interacting like that, the fire operators began the treatment.

At first glance, the plain sight of each just touching a chunk of water. Eventually, however, the hot air begins to rise from the transparent water streams. They gained momentum and some of them could be seen bumpy and boiling.

(Ugh, if you catch that thing, you don't have to burn it...)

Lose as much and all the water rolls the whites. Obviously, the temperature on the field was rising and I was even starting to feel a little warmer. Bellette's Aquastorm and others also appear to be spitting smoke out of their mouths, and its beauty is likely to be likened to that of just a tiny dragon.

"All right, why don't you do a piece of that! Nice to meet you, Wieterivia's son!

Following the signal of Sabel, who waved down loudly, the water chanters, Maggie, shot and unleashed the technique simultaneously.

They landed one after the other on the snow wall, waving awesome explosions and steam around the area.

"Whoa......!

In an instant, the vision stains white and closes completely. Hot air blowing then. There was so much faint screaming from the merchants who watched away.

"Shit, my hair looks good. You don't have to wait all the way to clear up, do you?... Oops!

At the same time as I heard such a voice from right next door, the spiralling wind rose high. A raw, warm fog that can stand in is immediately blown away,

"... oh!

"You did it!

The same drinks boil the place down.

Before and after being wrapped in steam, that change evident in anyone's eyes.

The snow masses that were piling in front of him disappeared brilliantly of things, and the road stretching back showed its appearance.

Over the mountain to the foot, he said, is usually about three hours away.

The line, divided into seven carriages, took about five hours of convenience and was about to finally get off the mountain road.

Shortly after departure, a relatively flat path followed, as there was rather no snow collapsing from the top near the summit.

But four times after I went downstairs, I was forced to eliminate the snow sitting on the road, just like this morning.

Basically a bad road with snow, though we'll manage to move on. The horse doesn't go as far as he thinks with his legs taken, and he drains as much strength as he can for that matter.

And

"Belle, are you okay? See, do you want something to eat?"

"Mm, thanks. It's okay......"

The colors of obvious fatigue had also begun to be visible to the fiery and water operators, who had carried out many absurd snow removal tasks.

The Divine Chant "Oracle" can certainly sweep away a wide range much faster than by hand. but if used, it consumes Prarna, the soul and mind power that inspires people from different worlds. There are individual differences, but many are calm.

"Sabel, are you tired? Is there anything you want me to do?

"Hmm? Right. If you dare... Julie, that's fine if you stay by my side. That's all I'll ever be able to fight for."

"Shah! Sabel it already! Glad!"

In the opposite seat of the street guards, two men and women are really friendly. At this rate during 46 o'clock.

"Uh... you two are really close"

The tired colors floating in Belgrette's face, which smile so bitterly, don't seem to be caused solely by snowy work.

"Hmm. It's between me and Sabel, naturally. That's what I'm gonna say. Kind of passive, isn't it? You're young, but you're already in a relationship that's about to cool off with each other?

An unexpected counterattack flew in. The boy and girl look at each other with a tight face and rush off with a repulsive magnet.

"No, no, no, me and Lugo, that's... that's how it goes."

I wonder what it has to do with thinking, feeling like a girl's first tickle in a hurry, and a simple question comes to mind behind the brain of drifting protection.

I confessed. We've also confirmed how we feel about each other. Instead, it was a one-time kiss of something. But we're not dating...

"Oh well, it feels like there's a bunch of bondage and I can't step in deep? Heh heh. That kind of relationship doesn't stay together and stay together ~...... but"

Julie holding Sabel's arm all the time makes me look more serious.

Shortly afterwards, the voice of your man flowed from the voice tube provided for the carriage.

'Hey, the snow's blocking the road again! Excuse me, please!

"I want you to stop... Besides, this guy..."

There is no way to blur colare.

This is the fifth time. Besides, the amount of snow is the highest ever.

Did it descend further after the avalanche broke out, with nearly two metres of extinction standing in front of a line?

When Sakuragiri asked me about the threat of snow, I initially thought it was "a bit of a story," but now I was comfortable being soaked with something I wasn't exaggerating.

"We'll have to do it when we get here. I beg your pardon, water people."

Sabel himself mouths somewhat fed up, getting ready for snow removal.

"Well, then I'll be there."

Seriously, Belgrette goes to the snow wall without a single disgusting face.

"Ugh. Belle, let's have some delicious mon fumble at night. I'll take care of it."

"hehe, thanks"

Faces lined with heavy hips up, but it's only the fifth task and it moves fast. I'm trying to figure out the rules.

"As long as we get out of here, the rest is flat terrain. If we go for half an hour, we'll be totally through the mountains."

"Actually, this must be the last place that's blocking the road."

There are also signs of relief in the faces of merchants who have come off the carriage after a break because safe mountain crossing has become the present.

"Osib guy, I hear he headed north about three or four days ago. I could go in Badalnoise just before they got off, and I wouldn't be jealous. Did he even go to the church in Cure Renaissance to pray?

"It won't be such a gala, he is. I heard you swallowed it at Dealey's tavern until just a minute ago. It just so happens that the ice god Cure Renaissance is a whim."

(God knows, but it's the middle of winter in the first place...)

I'm sure the seasonal climate is the same in this other world.

It was possible that the entire mountain path was covered with enough snow not to be able to pass through, and that the weather could suddenly change along the way to be hit by snowstorms.

It also seems that the exorcism of the streets diminishes its effectiveness when it is accumulated in snow, and there were concerns that it would be attacked by resentful demons.

It was a seasonal pattern, really on the road with a lot of anxiety.

Such a mountain crossing was also at an end, thus creating a slightly relaxed air on the field.

In such an atmosphere, the water and fire chanter Magee and others align sideways and start chanting as always. Those who deal with other attributes, merchants, and drift guards watch from behind.

The water users activated the procedure and prepared it for heating, that was when.

"- Wait a minute. It smells weird."

Julie, sitting next to Liquid Protection, zeroed in, the next moment.

Maggie, the water chanter who stood at the edge of the road - one of them suddenly collapsed in a bouncing, flying form. From the head, with a huge blood splash.

――――

Young man lying down and moaning. Red spots scattered on the snow around. And a little stone rolled down by him.

One beat late, a scream winds up from the merchants who notice the situation.

I understood as soon as possible, surprised by the sudden sight of the sight.

(Stone throwing......!

Someone threw a stone at me.

At the same time as recognition, immediately circle your neck.

……

And immediately, I discovered what a sniper looked like.

Left diagonal forward from the position of the stream guard.

Four black shadows nestle at a distance of about twenty meters above the magnificent slopes on each side of the road that is the valley.

Its presence, which stands out blackly in the land of white snow, is a familiar dwarf for drift protection. Back length is around a meter at most. Even as wildlife, it must be a relatively small category.

But I know. That the little flesh contains unconventional violence. That the monster is a terrible killer who easily slaughters people and others.

I know. Give me the name of that monster.

"Drawthrow......!

Four black resentment demons rushed down the slope.
