Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 45: Armored Bear (1)

"... there's nothing in this room"

It is Mae's feeling that she peered indoors from the aisle carefully. Look, there's certainly nothing there. A stone empty room like the first skeleton room, rather than just a building with flat soil like the wilderness. The walls aren't blocks, rough rock skin peels out like a cave.

"The compass is pointing the straight way"

"Well, you don't have to go that way, do you?"

This cave room is not that big. The area is about half the gym, almost like a circular hall. Nothing, so I can see everything between the walls of the rock from here. I saw the passage just across the street, indicated by the compass, and an open passage in the direction of three o'clock and nine o'clock respectively. If we combine the paths we have come to, it will be a beautiful crossroads. The entrances are all the same, and without a compass, we can't derive the right answer.

"Maybe if we get out of here, there 'll be a fairy square."

"Yeah, it's going pretty well, and it's about time, right?"

But these places can be set up as boss rooms. Pa, look at me. It doesn't feel like an Ortolos room, and obviously nobody, so maybe it's an empty room with nothing really. I don't see anything that looks like a metamagic formation.

"The boss... I knew he wasn't there"

"I don't know. It's dirty, and it could suddenly pop out of the ground."

I've seen movies that fight vicious underground monsters, attacking them in response to sound. Even fantasies are classic for giant mite monsters like Mongolian Deathworms.

"What are we going to do?

"Let's get Rem ahead of us"

At times like this, puppets are convenient, right? Instead of hesitation, I am genuinely pleased that the mud doll is useful. [M]

Absolutely obedient to orders, and as stated in that underexplained brain description, Rem immediately executes my commands. Without any feelings with Tokotoko, Rem walked out to the cave room.

While I watch Lem fulfill her mission satisfactorily, Mae may be a little pathetic, but what a windy gaze of pity she was sending. If you order too badly, you might be slightly despised? No, but I can't change my belly on my back.

Watching Rem keep walking, thinking about that in vain with glue.

"Goaaaaaaaaa!

To that enormous roar, I shook my body with a victory. You freaked out by the loud noise? No, you're not. If it's as loud as this, so is Ortolos. But the moment I heard this ambition, I had a clear fear. Why? The answer is simple.

Because I already know the Lord of this voice.

"It's an armored bear..."

From the aisle in the nine o'clock direction, he appeared snug with a huge blunt body. Armed with prickly steel crust armor, it's the strongest demon I've ever known at the moment.

The armored bear appeared before me again, with the exact same appearance and the exact same intimidation as then, as though it were a continuation of a nightmare.

"Kotaro-kun, that demon..."

"It's a miracle I was able to defeat you. I don't want to fight him if I can."

Death fights with armored bears are spoken of when we first met. Because of its distinguishable and characteristic appearance, even the first glance of May must have come pinning right away.

I stopped the lem on the spot to avoid irritation as much as I could. Like a doll with a broken thread, he stopped perfectly in the middle of the room to show it.

"I guess I should turn back"

"He has a good nose. Maybe he realizes we're already here."

The armored bear is hunched with his nose tipped against the completely stopped lem, just like when I sprinkled lunch boxes and jerseys. But visually and olfactorily, I realize instantly that a lem with only metallic bones can't be a delicious bait. The armored bear soon lost interest from the lem, and...

"Oh, shit... I don't think this is working"

When he found us standing in the aisle, he roared.

Rocking the giant steel, slowly, oh, just like then, this is all about the king's leeway, slowly approaching.

'Cause I'll stop it.

"Wait, I want to avoid melee fights if possible - 'Rotten Swamp'"

I hope the armored bear doesn't rush in with all his strength, so I can quickly deploy a fierce line of defense. In the shape of an armored bear on a boulder, I don't think I can jump many meters like Gore. If we keep the five-meter marsh, the largest area so far, we'll have to step in for him to get close to us.

When govoli and bloody swamps emerge, armored bears will be right in front of you. He stopped at the boulder in front of a suspicious waterfront that suddenly appeared. And after all, I humph with my nose tip close. If he drinks it incorrectly as it is, he's going to die on his own...

"Goaaa!

No matter how much, they're not that dumb.

But if you understand that this swamp is a danger zone, it means that no matter how you scratch it, you can't get close to us.

"Eh."

The armored bear stepped into a majestically poisonous swamp. Naturally, the bloody water, which boasts tremendous solubility, makes noise with the jujuju, and the white smoke sprays up.

"Gah!

But that's all. The armored bear gives such a grumpy, sharp squeal that he makes such a dirty tokoro walk. Flat, he came across the special 'Rotten Swamp'.

"Get out of the room!

"Yeah!"

I'm on the right, May's on the left, jumping out the entrance at the same time. Then I call back Rem, who had stopped in the center, to me.

I didn't withdraw from the aisle, I dared to pop out into the room for a reason.

First of all, melee warfare is inevitable beyond the fact that 'Rotten Marsh' doesn't do much for armored bears. Just back down the aisle, the obsessive guy will come after us everywhere. With armored bears chasing me, if I bowl in with zombies and gores, the situation sucks. We can't handle that blackmail, no matter how much it takes.

So if you're going to fight an armored bear, I'd like a place where you can definitely focus on him alone. And a wide field would be easier to fight, like Mae can swing a long axe of reach in full too. I mean, it's best to settle with him in this room, and it's the only way we can survive.

By the way, even if we ran into Fairy Square that would be ahead of us, things wouldn't change. Fairy Square only says that demons don't lean on themselves voluntarily, and if delicious bait escapes in front of them, they step in without hesitation. If Fairy Square isn't even an absolute safety zone like the game, there's no such thing as a universal junction function that conveniently eliminates only monsters.

Anyway, Mae immediately drew attention to my decision. I don't know if she understands the whole reason, but Mae, who follows my instructions without any hesitation, is a really difficult fellow.

I can do it, if you're with her. Even armored bears can be defeated in head-on battles!

"Get tangled up -" Dark Hair Tied ""

The armored bear turns loosely, then returns from the swamp.

She looked at May, she looked at me, and I knew she looked at May, and she seemed to have picked a target for her. Do you want so much meat?

Leaving aside the feeling that you're a lowlife, the armored bear will be the one to confront May truly, and as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to be thorough in my support. With that kind of wax, I unleash "brunette bondage" with all my might without one or two. Now up to three knitted five. One bottle alone boasts the power to stop the zombies, and it can be stretched more than five meters long.

Five brunette tentacles tie up the armored bear with the maximum output I can give right now. Hands and feet, and neck, each intertwined one at a time to restrain the whole body. The armored bear stopped walking as he raised his grip.

"Ahhhhhhh!

And it can't be Mae, now that the Mad Warrior has totally followed the board, such as missing this great opportunity. As if you were waiting for my backup, at the perfect time when the restraint would be decided, you would burst your whole body.

"Gaaaaaa!"

The moment a sharp roar sounded, I realized that my spell was utterly pointless. If you notice, all the brunettes who should have tied up the armored bear are flattened and scattered.

"Grr!?

Without fear of the axe that pressed him to slap his brainy on every helmet, the armored bear penetrated himself. That was just, like, a tackle on the counter, bouncing May's body off.

No matter how big May is, if he's upright, there's no way he's going to fight a monster that's big enough to be over four meters tall. She fluttered and her body danced into the universe, as if she had become a really weak girl.

"Oh, come on... the axe..."

I was blown away by a good amount of momentum, giving her some dirt and smoke and rolling down the ground, but Mae's first voice, which rose up quickly, was sole. Painful, not to call, not to cry, heh, she seemed more shocked by the loss of her weapon than she was by herself.

"Wow, that's not good..."

I have some thoughts about Mae's women's power, but I still find myself in a hurry to lose my weapon just like her.

Axes swung down with tremendous momentum were quickly defeated as armored bears frontally collided with the momentum they burst into themselves. The blade was struck by thick spine-grown, fairly thick shoulder armor at once. I crushed a thick spike and cracked it in a steel crust, but I reached my limit there.

The axe blade is smashed and scattered in the buckwheat. Besides, the tree pattern broke from half. It is obvious at first glance that it will no longer function as a weapon. In May's hands, there was only a wooden stick that grew below just a stick.

"May! Sword!

The gear change came out on the back. I now have the steel sword that still seems to work somewhat for armored bear opponents. If Mae stays with him, he immediately moved on to the counterattack.

The gear left for her is one less sharp piece of bamboo and one knife at a time. Compared to this long sword, the difference in quality is obvious. And the difference is directly, fighting someone so remarkable that it's linked to life and death.

So I was running out to give him my sword without hesitation.

"No, Kotaro!

"I'm good! The bear's still after May!

I'm glad you're worried, but this is where I have to risk my life, too. At a time when the marsh poison didn't work and the full brunette restraint was broken, there was no longer any point in covering with my spell. Then at least you'll need to act enough to give her a mattomo weapon.

While pulling the sword out of its sheath, I scream for instructions.

"Go, Rem!

Remove the escort assignment and put it into Mae's cover. Goma handmade soggy spears, although I don't think they'll pierce that armor, are your word if they distract you at all.

"Goaaaaaaaaa!

While I was moving, the armored bear was suddenly setting up a chase against May. After blowing it off with a tackle, he finally rocked Dosdos and the giant and ran out, pushing her down on her knees.

"Knock..."

May, who had already rebuilt herself, hilariously dodges the armored bear rampage like a matador. But she had no means of stabbing her defenseless back without weapons.

The armored bear flips as-is and now wields a rigid arm lined with big, sharp hook claws like a knife, like a storm. I would be a confident mess ripper who would be minced in an instant, but Mae has fully demonstrated the knight's third skill, "Cut Out," and has successfully avoided it on a single piece of paper.

"Chi, damn... there's no gap"

May's divine evasion doesn't know how long she'll have it either. In an unending series of one-sided attacks, she is so focused that she doesn't have time to pull out a razor or a knife.

Regardless, in the middle of such a harsh attack, there is no way I can jump in here and hand over my sword successfully. Even if Rem puts on a little bit, it's a delicate place to be. I can't even make a gap, and it's going to be the result of the lem being meaninglessly destroyed.

I feel like I'm missing one more hand...

"Like this, but better than not using it -" Red Fever ""

For once, I'll call against the armored bear. But for those of you who aren't taking rhinoceros, the slight thermal effect is just not changing enough to worry about. For him who is excited and fiercely attacking, he may not even have noticed a slight increase in body temperature.

But that's okay. This is just in case. Because fate is this way.

"Because it only blocks the bear's sight for a moment!

Maybe if Mae knew that, she could handle it. Because they're monsters, it's a strength that it's okay to scream the operation as much as you want.

With that in mind, I activate "Dark Hair Tie" again. Now instead of five, all the forces were concentrated in a single point, bigger, longer, just one threesome - no, the fibers intertwined regularly with each other, spread into bands. The pitch-black belt, which houses a glossy glow, strikes from behind the rampaging armored bear in a tentacle-stained motion as usual.

"Gawuuuuuu."

The tentacles that move freely, as I think they are, are entwined in the head of the armored bear as they are intended. When you wrap it around multiple pieces of glue, it instantly swells up like a turban.

But he makes use of the spikes in his armor to cut his hair easily. The restraints on both hands and legs were broken almost simultaneously because they were hooked and successfully cleaved by the togee growing in the crust. As with the helmet, covered with this thorny crust all the way to the head, this method of restraint would also come off immediately. You don't have to have thorns or anything, fangs or nails to rip it any way you want.

But this did seal his sight and stop the attack on Mae.

"Thank you, Kotaro!

Quickly distance yourself from the armored bear and rush towards me, May.

Armored bears look like angry hearts and minds, swinging their arms with the boom to shake off featherworms in front of their faces, quickly dimensioning and unraveling their dark hair bands.

But by the time the armored bear regains his sight, I'll already have May in front of me. Already we're outside the armored bear. One more step like this, and I can safely and securely give you the long sword I held in this hand.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa!

The roar of anger stumbled on my ear, while the shock ran on my body. Blunt pain wears all over the body.

I didn't know what happened. I don't know what that means. All of a sudden, it feels like he's been beaten up for nothing.

"Ugh... ah..."

When I realized it, I was down on the ground. Ouch. Hit me in the back, not like that, all over my body... no, my left arm, my flank, my thigh, I guess. That's where I get especially gingin and blunt pain. When I was in elementary school, when I had a snowball fight, it was the same pain that critically hit a snowball in the middle of my belly filled with the intent to kill with stones inside.

Oh, well, this, it's a stone. The stone hit me. It fell apart, like they were letting go of a shotgun.

The magic of earthly attributes - what a first thought because I'm the game brain. You're an idiot. Think of the flavor of humiliation you feel in this mouth and you'll see that it's simpler. In my mouth, the taste of rusty blood and the taste of jarring and disgusting, earthy is spreading.

Yes, the armored bear threw the dirt at me, knowing he couldn't reach it. Foam like an underslow, choosing the ground and showering dirt and sand as it is. That giant bear hand dug up just a small amount of soil and threw it at me, including the stones that were buried in it.

For him, it could have been an eight-win stained, meaningless behavior. But that physical attack works great for me.

"Goaaaaaaa!?

If you look at an armored bear who shouts a surprise at the unexpected pain, you'll know how much serious damage has gone through me. "Pain Return", which I just took care of in the earthen field, worked even at times like this to teach armored bears the pain of blowing.

"Kotaro kun!?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mae... I let go of my sword after the shock. To pick it up, it's a little far.

"Ugh, uhh... it hurt, it hurt..."

Unfortunately, he rises up in tears. What's "painful," here at least, "at all, it's okay!" Be as vain as you are. In so much pain, I honestly suffer everywhere and still, somehow resume my actions.

But if I can move even if I'm already worn out, it also means that armored bears with tough flesh are starting to act faster.

An armored bear who was supposed to take as much of a blow as I did in "Pain Return," but I forgot about the pain already, with momentum like that, I was in a slightly opposite position and pushed again.

"Ku...... hey ahhh!

For a moment only, Mae pulled the knife and the sword out of her waist at the same time when she saw the rolling sword and me and the armored bear and all the positions. She gave up retrieving her sword, and she made the decision to fight the fierce armored bear from the front with her poor weapon.

"Gaaaaaa!

A stormy offense begins again. Rusty blade and sharpened nail sword trident that blows right in front of you. It wasn't the kind of realm I could break into with my showy spells. In the first place, the clashes between the two quickly come to an end.

"-!?

Big missing knife, broken from half. May's body was blown away with tremendous momentum as she finally grabbed two swords that were no longer in use as weapons. The amount of blood splash that struck the universe tells the story of the depth of the wound.

The cut with the armored bear was an instant, but I could follow it with my eyes for a bit. The blade rolled out by May almost exactly glanced through the crust slices of the armored bear, the joints of the shoulders and arms, etc., but shallow. With the low quality blade she had, it was the limit just to slit the skin slightly.

Sewing between vicious disturbance rips, May made such an attack, so I can't thoroughly dodge it all this time with a 'cut out'. So it hits me. The assault of the decimate who abandoned his defense, even with the arms of a mad warrior, could not overshadow his absolute difference in abilities.

"May! It's okay!"

"Ugh..."

Her body, rolling down the ground and soiled, moves slightly. But that's all. As I was saying, I never got up instantly to set up an attack.

From what I saw, May seemed deeply hurt both arms. On the verge of eating a glimmer of nails, I guess I only guarded him with my arms aggressively.

However, it cannot be possible to prevent sharp nails with biological flesh. From the arms torn apart by the bumps on each sleeve, the blood flowing down was clearly seen. With such an injury, even if there was already a sword, I might not be able to shake it to Matomo.

"Because I'll buy you some time! Do something to recover!

May has been given a variety of medicines, including a lot of wound medicine A. The wounds on both arms are terrible, but with the healing combo of wound medication A and 'grace', they should heal enough to be critical and usable.

That's the only way to reverse it. I, the magician, have no means of defeating an armored bear. At the start of the battle against the face like this, you can't even use traps like poison bait, so naturally.

May is the only one who can defeat the armored bear. If we do not regain the means of attack at all costs, is it merely a predatory action, not a battle, but a unilateral slaughter, no, from armored bears?

So I just have to put my life at risk and buy Mae time to recover. Strange, I didn't want to run away.

Have you already understood at the instinct level that where you fled alone, you cannot survive?

"Garru!

"Hiya!?

However, it's not that I'm not afraid. I wish I had popped out to block the needle to Mae, but I was just stared at by an armored bear, and my voice rose with fear and my body trembled. The overwhelming monster's gigantic body stands in front of him and doesn't feel comfortable already living. At his whim, my life is scattered.

"Here, here... Come on! I'm the guy, Bear Yarrow!

I stand in front of an armored bear, like a fallen May on my back. With a tiny knife in his hand and a pathetic trembling voice screaming at me for a dialogue of provocation, the armored bear kept staring at me with a rough nose, not saying, "What the hell, you little one, get out of my way".

For once, attention is right for me. Armored bears are just skipping cancer like they did when they encounted black height defects all over the city, and they're still wearing these. But the next moment, it's not weird that my neck flies with a giant arm.

"What's up, do it! Attack to the point of not dying, if you can, please!

If you want to bet, you can rely on 'Pain Return' in the earthen pit. Even if I'm torn with my nails, if I don't die instantly, the damage will bounce back to the armored bear. Mae's chances of winning are also increased once and for all if Zackli and Crustaceans are made to bear the deep hand enough to make a decision.

So the only thing I'm after right now is an abandoned suicide bomber.

Look, make sure you see through his attack, Kotaro Tagawa. If you succeed in dodging a piece of paper here, you can defeat the armored bear. So I opened my eyes and I saw him move.

"Ah."

And when I realized, I had giant nails in front of me. My nails are already going deep enough to cut my body as-is. If you eat it from your shoulder, you can be sure to follow the course of getting all the blood, meat, bones, and guts together and dimensioned by Zdazda in these four large, lined knives.

Definitely an instant death overkill.

I know, but my body didn't even move with Pickle. I couldn't have moved. Except for the spell, there's no way I can lift a monster's blow to this me who can only possess the physical abilities of a poor high school boy.

My thoughts were sweet.

"- Ahhh!

Blood splashes. The feeling of hot objects stroking their bodies is the same as before. Yes, when it's cleaved with sharp nails, it's hotter than it hurts.

"Oh, oh, oh!

And then a beat late comes the severe pain - but what, my body, it's all right for the price. I have a torso that wears a proper learning run. My guts aren't even spoiled.

Instead, there was a black bone wreck stuck to my torso.

"Oh, oh... lem!

So I finally understand. [M] Rem decided to tackle me so aggressively that I managed to dive through a flash of armored bear.

And I was saved. [M] Instead, Lem is sacrificed. The body of the black skeleton remained only from chest to top, from where it was crushed to bottom in pieces and scattered around there.

Rem doesn't even work with Pickle. He was completely shutting down that function while still dressed clinging to my torso that collapsed.

Sorry, thanks...... well done, Rem.

"Goaaaaaaa!

If you look at the armored bear that lifts its ambition, its steel torso is engraved with four wounds. The thick chest crust was zackled and torn, and on the belly beneath it, the wound was running. Apparently, my toenails just glimpsed my body from top to bottom.

Me and the armored bear barked at the pain of attacking me as I bled dodgy from the scars.

"Shit, I knew it, the scratches were shallow, or..."

This is enough damage to keep me conscious. [M] Even though the crust just ripped a little, the armored bear is still fine.

He glanced at me with his blood-running angry eyes when such a miscellaneous fish broke his bragging armor and scratched him to the point of bleeding.

I can shake it up, like a whole tooth, no, armored bear's right arm like an iron pillar. If this thing goes down, this time I'm dead. Stay in a fallen position on the ground, you haven't even gotten up.

Damn, the pursuit was too fast - all I could think about was that, and not solidifying my readiness for death, and I was looking up at the hand of a bear shaken up with tears.

"- Gaa!"

But the blow of the armored bear never came. If you noticed, your arms were unloaded without tearing anything apart, and the armored bear was sending his gaze far away, as if he'd forgotten about me or something. The sharp eye can tell right from the side that you are on guard.

The big body of an armored bear, only once, was shaking with a burrito.

What, what's there enough to make you afraid of him? Looking back in doubt, May was just up.

The blood dripping from both arms remained intact, wrapped in a crimson aura, and she stood there.

"May, could it be... I used 'Reagent X'!?
