Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
08 Sylveria's Beast
The herd, which jumped out of the coniferous forest, also looked as if it were a lump of white fog covering its sight. Surround the line with freezing cold air.
"Haaah!
"Wow!
"Holy shit!
The three Earls screamed at the seemingly immense flock of translucent beasts.
"... wow..."
Shiori muttered unexpectedly. Snow Wolf (Snow Very) swarms in Brovito are unmatched in size. The herd was flat on the ground, while the herd stretched from its gaze to the top of the metel. The thickness made this herd appear more pronounced.
The snowy sea moon (Sne Manietel) floats in the extremely cold atmosphere irregularly with a thin, transparent white umbrella that can be seen through the other side. Including tentacles, the beast can only survive under low temperatures well below zero centimeters in length, and even the spring snowmelt temperatures can't sustain life. The pale light of cloudy weather can be compared to a faint snow sperm that melts away with the spring.
However, the reality is that those who are close to the territory show a strong hostility and are extremely aggressive and instinctive beasts who attack with all their might in the crowd. It is a beast that can compete well with beginner parties on its own, but their horror lies in the huge herd that spans over twenty metels in diameter. A terrifying snow monster that has paralytic venom on its tentacles and emits cold air with the magic of ice in a group.
(--Big spiders and good snow wolves, there are quite a lot of beasts attacking in the flock.)
Unfortunately, adventurers who have only encountered individuals who have strayed from the crowd, such as those who appear nearby. There seems to be an unexpected number of people who despise the weak beast and oppose the herd alone or in a small number and die without daring.
(I wonder what you said. She died in a big spider's nest.)
The three daughters who were involved in October or didn't like it. One of them seems to have left the union (guild) because he was punished for violating the rules, but the other two received a personal request that was prudent and unreasonable, and then returned to him without hesitation. One of them managed to escape, but the other was eaten to death.
─ ─ Stupid daughter, at all.
Ludger, who was on his way to see the body with his daughter, told him to throw up and throw it away. He seemed somehow sad behind harsh words. The deceased daughter was his teacher and I wish I had expected so much.
"- Sir Annelier. They aim where the skin is peeling off. Cover your face as much as you can and keep it from moving so it's easier to protect. Theoli, you too. Lori, please come with me."
Copy that.
The three Earls nodded scrupulously in Alec's words. As Louis trembled with all her knowledge, she circled behind Shiori and the others.
"There are a lot of them. Watch out for spills."
"Yeah."
"I'm coming!
Nadia's voice flew to defend the front. The surrounding area is filled with enormous magic, and the snow, sea and moon flash in vibrant fluorescent colors at once. It's a sign to start an attack.
Theori hid the three behind her. I've heard about it several times, but this is the first time I've seen it relative. I know that you want to fight with a high level of firepower to protect your escort from this unbelievable number of beasts. It's not a number that I can fight alone. However, you may be able to deal with them yourself if it's about to spill. Remembering what I had studied in the Magic Beast Atlas, I looked around without hesitation.
"Spiral Flame!"
Nadia's Magic Range burned the herd. The sound of evaporation echoes, and in an instant, along with the surrounding snow, a corner of the herd turns into charcoal.
"Nadia, you're gonna burn me to death!
Clement shouted angrily as he quickly swinging his characteristically curved black double sword alternately, engulfing the surrounding snow, sea and moon.
"I was hoping you'd make me suffer that much!
"I'm sorry if I breathed in the heat!
Fighting each other and not letting go of each other's attacks. Slipping through the released cold air, one evaporates dozens of bodies, the other slices one after the other. At their feet are piles of snow, sea and moon that are hydrocarboned and scattered in powder form, or cut into rectangular pieces, such as pears.
Alec also wielded a magical sword with a flame to burn out his enemies, and Louis stretched his mucous body to the limit and reduced the number of enemies by swallowing up parts of the herd.
Nevertheless, a huge herd of twenty meters in diameter still survives. Several of the handcrafted adventurers snatched through the rush and attacked Shiori and his escort. Siori also unleashed synthetic magic as Dennis and Bart embraced Annelier aggressively and meditated their eyes.
Hot air!
Synthetic magic of fire and wind. It is a superior version of the magic of the warm wind that replaces the hair dryer after washing.
I came up with a sentence that I remembered in preview in the Magic Beast Atlas that "even the temperatures in the snowmelt period can't sustain life", and a part of the herd that escaped Nadia's magical attack earlier was dried up by the aftermath of a powerful blast flame.
Considering the magic consumption, I can't be too indifferent, but I think I can shoot a few shots if it's enough to protect myself and the three people behind me.
As a result, the snow and the sea moon caught in the hot wind lose moisture and fall to the ground.
"Shiori! Don't push me!
Apparently Alec flew his voice behind him in between.
Yeah!
I can't even catch my eye if I run out of magic at the beginning.
(... let's try to reduce the power to the warm wind)
I adjusted the magic output, and developed the air conditioning magic that I usually use in campsites around me.
Several snow moons invade the magic range, but they fall unbearably and gradually evaporate moisture on the snow. Still, some of the ones who were still approaching boldly either abandoned their attack on us because of their desperate compatriots or changed their targets.
"... good. It still seems to work."
This magical effect cannot be maintained for a certain amount of time, like within the narrow boundaries created in the camp, so the magic will remain released, but at least it seems to replace the barrier against them.
"... cum"
The avant-garde Clement moaned small. It seems that the tentacles of the snow and sea moon grabbed her cheeks. Poison spreads quickly to the body, which has improved blood circulation due to intense battle movements, and the left hand, which begins to numb, retreats into the sheath before removing the sword.
Are you okay?
Quickly remove the antidote from the waist medicine pouch and hand it over.
"Sorry."
He swallowed the medicine he had received at once and looked around while waiting for the detoxification to work.
"These massive beasts are troublesome, no matter how many times you do it. Especially when it comes to snow and the sea moon, the herd is too big."
"That's right...."
Because they are weak on their own, they attack at the same time in a huge amount that can be called a number of violent attacks. There's nothing we can do with a single attack. It's a difficult opponent without a range attack.
But the air conditioning is magic instead of boundaries. That's a good way to make snow and sea moon. We're almost there. Hang in there for a while. "
Yes!
Three quarters of the herd has already disappeared. The numbness of Clement jumped out of the boundaries of the warm wind again.
"I'm a little more patient."
The three of them nodded without a voice as they stared at Alec and the huge number of beasts, while keeping their faces strong, reassured at the warm boundary of the battle of the skilled adventurer.
Occasionally blowing ice fragments of the cold air raise the power of the warm wind and do something about it. Still, the cold wind that couldn't kill her ran over Shiori's face, and the tingling pain ran on her cheeks.
But only a few more.
That was the moment I thought about it.
"Eh, what!?"
Suddenly, a part of the snow and the sea moon left the herd and flew through the side of the boundary of the warm wind. There are signs of something approaching at an incredible speed from that flying away direction.
"Beginner! It's huge!"
Alec screamed.
I wonder if there are only a few big signs of being able to travel fast in the snow. I don't really want to think about it, but...
He stood up in preparation for the approaching signs, hiding Anneliers looking in the same direction with anxious expressions.
The giant white beast eventually emerged from the woods scratching off the fresh snow. The beast, a gentle four-legged walker, looked at us with small but ferocious colors that were not commensurate with its gigantic body. One of his eyes was crushed and a clot of dry blood was sticking around. I think it has a new scar within a few days.
They recognized us as enemies and raised a wild and fierce roar as they swung off the swarming snow and sea moon with their forelegs and stood up with their backlegs. Once eaten, the thick and sharp fangs will come out again.
"....."
I found Annelier and the others breathing behind me. Perhaps they've only seen a small beast like the one appearing nearby, and they must have been terrified of being struck by a giant beast.
"Deeee...."
I heard Balt groan. A beast-type magic beast that will become a four-meter tall beast. But compared to the ugly manticore I saw one day, Theori decided to think it was still cute. By doing so, I managed to suppress the fear that arose.
"A rough, handicapped snow bear. I've been in trouble since I couldn't get rid of the snow and the sea moon."
"- Well, it's still pretty compared to manticore. I can't lose my strength and strength, but if I don't hit it, it's fine."
Alec and Clemens calmed down with a sharp gaze. It may be because I am confident in my arms, but it is important not to lose my normal mind at any time as a senior adventurer. Frustration and fear easily create gaps.
"I asked you to do it!
"Ah, leave it to me!
A giant beast-shaped beast with a robust body, Alec and Clement, who are good at physical attacks, seem to be qualified. Nadia will take care of the rest of the snow and sea moon.
"You may be scared, but never run away. Those beasts have a habit of chasing escaping animals. Please gather and step back slightly as you distance yourself from the snow bear."
"Ah, oh, okay."
While sheltering between the snow bear and the escorted object, he gradually retreated. Ciori pushed them out, and the Anneliers also took a distance from the new enemy. Louis extended his body even further by protecting the four of them.
"I'm sure it's okay, but in the unlikely event that a snow bear rushes in here, please stand face to face with your hands behind your neck. The back sac will replace the shield, so it will provide some protection."
It was just the knowledge from the atlas, but it would still be more or less advisable. It's better to know what to do than nothing.
"Uhh... okay."
"--I don't really want to think about it."
As Balt nodded, Annelier and Dennis muttered, forcing a smile to keep a normal mind.
(--But I'm sure it'll be fine.)
Neither Alec nor Clement seemed upset at all.
Even though my allies did not remember how to fight in the right place or how to cooperate with each other, and ignored myself and Rachel's suppression, they just penetrated into the dark clouds. They just felt anxious.
The calm appearance of our companions now gives them peace of mind. I wonder, the three clients who faced a confusing situation also had the impression of calming down somewhere with fear.
And they lowered their hips.
At that moment, Clement, who was superior in speed, filled the gap at once, scratched his arm like a log that was swinging around, and jumped around his face. The swayed right sword was received with a tough jaw, but the left sword cut the soft tip of the nose. Blood scattered in the snow.
A heavy bass roar echoed at the bottom of the belly shook the atmosphere.
Nevertheless, Alec, who had circled behind him, cut the foot of the snow bear that had become the King of Ren. When dealing with large Demon Beasts, it seems that it is a prerequisite to seal the movement before moving around and causing damage to the surrounding area. A large, shredded magic sword hurts the tendons of both feet. The snow bear that could no longer support the giant body leaned. Snow rolls up and falls down with a loud sound.
Snow Bears twist their torso hard and roar angrily at the person who hurt their body. Apparent intent to kill. If we don't get it right, they'll crush our wounded legs and try to kill us.
"Alright, it's still much easier than manticore."
I see. Unlike that, he can't fly. "
And then...
"Just take care of it!
It seems that the two people we've been working with for years since they were new don't need a lot of conversation. Predicting each other's next behavior, Ahun breathes toward the enemy.
"... ahh, it looks like it's over there too."
Nadia, who cleaned up the rest of the snow and the sea moon, walks in to fix the strawberry blonde's forehair. Behind it is a pile of black charcoal piled up tall. There is a burning smell around.
A wild roar rose.
It seems that Alec and the others also had a piece in the gap that turned their eyes towards Nadia for a moment. Looking back, the remaining eyeballs and the snow bear, who had been stabbed with his sword with all his might, were about to fall.
I knew they were the only ones I could defeat unless it was a force move.
"Yeah."
Each one of them pulls his love sword from the body of the snow bear, and the two of them come back to us, confirming that they were doomed.
No one seems to be injured, including the three escorts. The red earthworm swelled on Clemens' cheeks after the snow and sea moon attack, but now that the numbness has come out, it is better to disinfect it.
(Good. It's not important)
The tension is resolved and the relaxed air drifts.
The Anneliers also exhaled deeply.
The battle seems to have ended successfully.
