"Huh!?
I saw a giant Battleax swinging down on me, at that moment. Ray almost kicked the floor reflexively and tried to escape into the room...
"Guh!"
I guess that's exactly what you should call a Rank A Adventurer. Elk's swinging Battle Axe jumps right before the blade area comes into contact with the floor just to let Ray escape, tapping that blow in after him as if tracking the target.
Ray's misfortune was that the power of Elk, a rank A adventurer, was more than expected. And it would have been that the Battleax used by Elk was a magic item.
Conversely, Ray's luck was that he had just returned from the outside and was wearing a dragon robe. And it would have greatly diminished its power because of the motion of the swinging down Battleax jumping right before it made contact with the floor.
As a result, the Dragon Robe's defense did not cause any fatal injuries, but Ray's body was blown to the wall of the room.
"Gu, Ko, this... what are you going to do, Erkku!
He was a ray slammed against the wall and stuck in his breath for a moment, but soon he regains his posture and yells at Elk, who has the Battleax in front of him.... No, that deserves to be expressed as barking already. Most of the guests and adventurers who were currently in the dining room stopped moving the moment they heard the voice, and even the few high-ranking adventurers were not in a golden state, because they were reflexively in a combat position.
"... Ray. I'm sorry, but I have to kill you. Forgive me, I'm not saying. You can resent me. You can hate me. But... the life, scatter it here."
Elk squeaks in seemingly faceless appearance. But Ray, who screamed in anger, feels uncomfortable looking at such an elk condition.
(What? It's not the wind that Elk is being manipulated. or almost anything like killing... chi!
I guess I tried to give you time to even think about it. An elk with a Battleax enters the room quickly.
Avoid the Battleax being swung down, pulling the right half back on the spot and forcefully avoiding.
(Damn it! None of my weapons are easy to use in this room!
The weapons Ray basically uses are death sizes over 2m long and spears for throwing. Both of them were long-standing weapons and could not be sufficiently powerful in this small room.
Of course I have a knife. But Ray's conclusion was that if he asked me if I could counteract the huge Battleax that Elk has with such a knife, I couldn't do it first.
(That said, is it better than bare hands)
Whimpering, quickly choosing a misrill knife from the list that came out in the back of your brain. In the next moment, a misrill knife appears in his right hand.
……
Elk glances at it with a glance without saying anything in particular about how it is and strikes Battleax in his hand again.
Avoid by squeezing that blow on the floor that is wielded by the horizontal giraffe...
"Sweet!
Shortly before Battleax passes overhead, violet electricity emanates from Battleax along with Elk's such voice to beat that thunder to Ray. But.
"Sweet is... that way!
With those words, Ray grabs up an arm that stops directly above him and slaps an elk to the floor with a giant that goes over 2m forcefully as it is.
"Ha!
Though I was hit on the floor with my back decently, I should say that I still won't let go of the Battleax I was grabbing. On the contrary, if Battleax releases several purple electricity again just because it is a counterattack, it is slapped to Ray.
"I told you. Sweet!
Once again, the body is lifted with the wrist of its right arm grabbed and slapped to the floor.
Many, many, many, many times.
Elk's mistake would have been not knowing the performance of the dragon robe. A dragon robe built with the skin and scales of a long-time living dragon could not be more powerful than the magic item that came from the party name Axe of the Thunder God.
"Whoa, what a fuss!
"Hey, what the hell!?
Several figures show up at the entrance to the room when they hear the screams of a woman raised in the hallway earlier, the roar of a ray, or the sound of a battle going on in the room about six tatami.
And what I saw was a small ray slamming him to the floor in extension as he grabbed Elk's right arm over 2m.
If you look at this sight from the edge, no matter what you think, Ray is doing more harm to the elk unilaterally. It would also have affected that Elk himself was a famous and popular figure in the city of Gilm. Even Ray is famous when it comes to fame among adventurers, but it is famous in one way or another in a bad way. That's why...
"Whoa, what are you doing, you! Let Mr. Elk go!
A man of good stature rushing first holds down Ray, who was about to slap an elk on the floor.
Naturally it's not Ray who can handle it to that extent. But it is true that they interrupted the movement...
"Whoa, whoa!
Elk unshakes his right arm, which was being grabbed by Ray as he raised his anger.
The only thing Ray could do at that time was use his strength on Elk's right arm, which he was grasping aggressively, and put a crack in his right wrist.
"Ouch!
Though he frowns lightly at the pain, the elk jumps straight off the floor. Then he heads to Ray, who is rubbing against the man who rushed him, and he kicks the floor again and hits Ray with the axe of Thunder God, who didn't let him go even when he got a crack in his wrist.
At that time, I guess those who were finally here to see what was going on also understood the situation. Ray didn't hit the elk, he said it was the elk that hit the ray.
"Huh? Hey, Mr. Elk!?
A man who was rubbing against Ray shrugged slightly at the force of coming toward him as he waved Battleax toward Ray, to be more precise... but that can't stop the elk now. A man who pulls his cheeks with fear into a huge axe that approaches him.
"Shit, I'm in the way!
Having boiled his business to such a man, Ray forcefully unshakes his hand as he tries to hold himself down and puts a kick in its torso.
At the same time, using that recoil, he axed right up to his side and headed to the window to take a distance from the elk that was approaching... breaking the glass and jumping straight out.
Yes, if you're in a room and you can't use the long weapon that you specialize in, all you have to do is move to a place where you can use it.
The problem is that Ray's room was upstairs, but if it's Ray's physical ability that jumps from that height, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. He lands on the ground with little noise, kills the impact and immediately turns behind him... to where his room is.
What I saw then was an elk popping out the window just like Ray did a few seconds ago.
"... Shit, how about giving up?"
Ray takes the death size out of the mistering and sets it up while he tongues.
At the same time, the elk lands on the ground, and this one, like Ray, still kills most of the impact. That body technique is arguably just rank a adventurer.
"I don't know why you're after my life. But you're more prepared to take your life than you are to take mine, aren't you?
"... oh"
Short, then elk to roar and reply. Ray frowns slightly after seeing how it is and checking the colour of the distress in his eyes.
(Is there any translation? That said, I can't imitate long enough to capture a guy with as much elk prowess alive against him. Give me a reason to capture him alive and assault me if you can... wait. Why is Elk the only one here? I know Rhodos isn't here because he can't reach me with his strength. But Min himself is a Rank A adventurer, and even more so an armed wizard. And it should also be a storm prone elk stopper. That Min's not here? Is that possible? That will probably happen......)
"So risk your own life, too, Ray! If you don't, you're the one who's gonna die!
Along with his voice as if to cut off Ray's thoughts, Elk kicks the ground and quickly packs the time to flash the thundergod's axe into a sideburn.
The same goes for Ray, who can't use his main weapon for failing to show strength in a place called the inside of the room, but I guess the elk did the same again. The speed of stepping in was so sharp that it was not comparable to when fighting indoors.
"Yeah, let me do what I want!
Ray also wields Death Size and intercepts the Axe of Elk's Thundergod.
Already the sun also sets, two sickles and an axe collide and scatter sparks as the darkness of the night covers the perimeter, and at the same time purple electricity runs from the axe.
"Chi!
Elk miscalculation is the weight of the ray's force and death size itself. An elk confident in his arm strength and a favorite magic item, he loses with force even if he waves the thundergod axe that is the name of the party, he loses with the weight of the weapon, and he loses with the speed at which he waves the weapon. Still, we can meet around the bend without being blown away by one blow, like those Ray has dealt with before, purely because that's all Elk's strength is.
Ray's miscalculation is that Elk's has a higher level of magic item than Thunder God's Axe would have expected, and that he can meet Death Size decently. Initially, I tried to cut the thundergod axe with a death size through magic, but the thundergod axe wrapped around purple electricity made it possible to meet with a death size through magic.
There are miscalculations on both sides, and at the same time, the flow of battle nevertheless goes on in Ray's favor.
But Ray was aware of the unnatural nature of Elk's actions, and for that reason, the battle itself was not going to decide the battle, even if it was going in his favor. He whispers as he looks into Elk's eyes as he strikes the thunder god's axe blow.
"Elk, I don't know why you're doing this, but the fact that there's no Min here gives me a general anticipation"
To that voice I heard as the axe and sickle bumped into each other, only for a moment... yes, just for a moment, but the elk's face is drawn, and at the same time the color of the tour floats in my eyes.
And Ray, who was observing Elk's face up close, couldn't have missed the move for a moment.
(I knew it. Maybe Min or Rodos was captured and taken hostage or something, and that liberation condition is my life...)
Even while he thinks that way, Ray and Elk are meeting with sickles and axes. Every time, sparks and violet electricity scattered around the area, watching as the innkeepers turned their gaze on something and the two people who had gathered earlier from Ray's room were fighting in the garden.
I guess we don't get our hands on the detour because we just understand that if we get our hands on two fights, we're going to lose our lives.
(Talking so far won't stop attacking me, but for that matter, it's not as if it's going to take this one's life as it did at first. Probably...)
Ray squeals small again when Death Size and Thunder God's Axe meet in an exchange that is not caged in killing, and can even be called a sword dance already.
"You have a watchman?
"Huh!?
An elk that snorts quickly and slightly as I am surprised by the word.
Watch it and stay close to each other, jumping backwards and distancing each other at the right time.
(Then why do we have to do something about the watchman first in order to end this sloppy farce? Luckily this is the back yard of the inn. The stables are right over there. Then what needs to be done is ultimately simple!
Once distanced, two people kick the ground again and roll out a sickle and an axe to start the meeting.
That appearance was an exchange that at first glance only seemed to be seriously fighting. Death size to be swinging quickly, Elk took the blade of Reaper with the axe of Thunder God and flushed it so that it could slide as-is, and the purple electricity was emitted to the counter.
But the two of them interacting like that are exchanging information with each other while meeting with sickles and axes.
What I found out as a result was that Min and Rodos were being taken hostage and Elk was being forced into battle. That the hostages' handlers are entering the city of Gilm as one watcher and watching this battle. That the number of enemies is as low as four in all and that there is one watchdog. That two of the hostages are in the city of Abu Ero.
Having obtained that information, Ray quickly gives instructions to the elk he is meeting with.
"Look, I'll attack soon enough. You dodge it and make an attack that will blow me away. The end of the blow is inside the stables. Ask Seto to find us a watchman."
"... can you do it? They're good at lurking in the dark. It's hard to find."
Ray nods small as he flashes the Death Size and plays the Axe of Thunder God released so that it can be swept up from the bottom.
"Oh. Seto has a good night's eye, and more importantly, he's currently the most reliable opponent.... okay?
"I can't help it. I can only rely on you.... asked."
I nod small at the elk that looks sorry...
"Now... let me decide!
Declare that out loud so that the watchman can hear it, flashing the Death Size blade directly beside him. Elk tried to sink that flash into the ground and dodged it, waving the thundergod axe as it was...... Ray takes it in a death-size pattern, but it was blown away as if he were being pushed into the elk's power and into the stables.
