Meet Beast Tamer, the mightiest species of cat ear girl banished from the brave party
308 stories, siege net.
I asked Al to use the metamagic and we moved in front of the forest zone at once.
"Here."
There are no people's hands in it, and there is no road-like path.
It's a beast path at best.
The grass is growing depressingly, blocking the sun from above.
I have a pretty bad vision and it's like night even though it's only day.
You'll have to watch your step because it's spreading here and there.
"That sounds like a melancholy place... the grass seems to gloat. That's what I'm talking about..."
"Burn it down?"
It felt like sidestepping Tania's dialogue, and Rifa said such a noisy thing.
"Nyah... I can't believe Rifa said such a noisy thing as well as Tania..."
"Is the encephalomyovirus infected? Well, we need proper treatment."
"If you do, remember later...?
Stared by Tania, Canade and Luna all whistled in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
"You're not gonna burn it down?
"That's none. If you do that, it will be difficult to go the other way, because, in the first place, demons aren't the only ones in this forest. Some animals are normal. I never want to take their place like that or kill them."
"I see. Rain is sweet"
Somehow Rifa made me a good kid.
Were you praised?
"So how do we proceed? Shall we have Sora ready the lights, just like we did when we came to Krios?
"Of course, don't make enemies."
"I, too... if anything, seem subspace,... can do, right?
"Hmm."
Think hard about the operation as you listen to everyone.
From here on out is the enemy formation.
I have some information that the ghost tribe has suffered a payback, and the enemy won't be laying idle.
You should be consolidating your defenses considerably.
We have to move forward with even more vigilance on our enemies where we have poor vision and difficulty moving.
Quite challenging.
The ghost clan that they got hit back also got their health cut here... maybe that's why they lost.
As much as I can, I don't want to use any extra strength here.
Attacking this forest is not the main purpose.
Crusading enemies with the devils lurking in the deepest castle is the primary goal.
"When that happens... do you want to go with it"
"" "Arr?
――――――――――
His name is Agni.
It is a weapon made of old age technology, and its type of name is Golem.
The rank is A, but its power is said to be partly comparable to that of S.
Such Agni, though a demon, was given a name by the Lord who serves him.
Agni was proud of that.
Every day, I have encouraged my loyalty to the Lord as unquestionable.
The main task is the Lord's protection.
Now, the Lord is in the ancient castle behind the woods.
Agni scattered his men all over the woods and set up further traps.
Together with Todome, he has also developed the connection of cutting off the power of enemies who have invaded the forest.
At the end of the day, he becomes the gateman of the castle.
This had turned the forest into a complete fortress.
You will not be able to get to the back of the concubine.
The strongest species and so on are just different stories...
Still, it can't be intact, it will deprive you of a lot of health.
It is not the Lord's enemy, such as the most powerful species that has been depleted.
Or you can take it down yourself.
The guard here is the iron wall.
Agni thought so.
"Agni, it's an intruder!
At one point, such a report came from a subordinate.
Is it the Krios?
Maybe he's still wasting his resistance.
Grinning in his heart, Agni asks his men.
"How many enemies?
"Eight...... no, is it seven"
"That's an ambiguous answer."
"Also, I'm sorry. The puppet was mixed... There were reports that it moved, and it was hard to tell..."
"I see, if that's the case, I can't help it"
"And… the enemy is the most powerful species"
"Ho."
Hearing of the most powerful species, Agni spilled a pleasant voice.
The teasing golem does not change my expression, but my emotions live properly.
The voice spilled from Agni's mouth was mixed with the colour of joy.
He is a loyal minister of the Lord, but at the same time a samurai.
There was something to look forward to fighting a strong enemy.
"It's a cat spirit clan, a dragon clan, a spirit clan, a god clan, and a ghost clan. There are two Spirit clans and one others. And one human being. The doll is one thing."
"That's a lot of fighting power... seeing where the ghosts are, is that what they call the help of the Krios?
"Perhaps not. Can I help you?
"We just do what we have to do. Drain enemies as usual and destroy them all. If it is difficult to destroy, the purpose should be to drain it. At the end of the day, I will come out, or the Lord will lay down his hands."
"Ha."
My men leave in a gracious manner.
"Multiple of the most powerful species... maybe I need to leave this time"
Agni is created only to fight.
Therefore, only demonstrating strength in battle becomes your own existential significance.
It makes me more proud than ever to fight the strong and strike that neck off.
Agni remembered her heart was high.
I was attacked by a ghost tribe some time ago...
At that time the Lord stood before him, so he had no opportunity to show strength.
But not this time.
The Lord seems to have something for me, and he's stuck in the old castle in the back.
So you have to fight for yourself.
That's more where you want it.
And the opponent is the strongest species.
Looks like we'll have more fun fighting than the mutton fish coming.
There is no shortage of enemies.
Rather, he's the best opponent I've ever had.
"Come on, hurry up. Enjoy me."
――――――――――
About two hours have passed since the report of enemy discovery.
No progress has yet been made.
There are no reports of the extermination of the enemy, or vice versa... nothing.
Exactly, Agni was surprised and summoned his men.
"What happened to the enemy in the report?
"Ha, well, that's..."
"What's up?
"... I'm sorry! I lost him."
"What?
Agni inadvertently became more vocal.
My men tremble victoriously, as they are pushed by its force.
"Why 'd you lose it? Could you have been caught off guard? Or were you insulting them?
"Oh, no! There is no annihilation. Human beings may have to, and their opponents are multiple of the most powerful species. I was on maximum alert and challenged."
"Hmm."
That too, Agni calmed her anger slightly.
All of my men are soldiers of Hundred Wars Smelting.
If the opponent is human, he may be somewhat playful...
against the most powerful species, never do such an idiot.
Yet losing sight of him probably meant that he was better off with them.
What the hell kind of person are you to take your own people for a hand job?
Agni became interested in the enemy and his abilities.
"Tell me what happened then."
"Yes. First we refrained from attacking and invited them to the back of the woods so they wouldn't get away easily. Along the way, we decided to see how things were going because our enemies stopped. The enemy then uses something that looks like a smokescreen. We decided that we had spotted our intentions and launched a simultaneous attack on the spot. The enemy retreats toward the depths. Coincidentally, it was possible to direct you to a place where there was no escape. We surrounded our enemies with all our strength and tried to destroy them… so they disappeared."
"He disappeared? How did it disappear?
"Suddenly, the contours of my body collapsed... it felt like I could play water. Think about it, maybe it was fake."
"I see."
Agni decided that his men must be right.
The enemy made his own fake, and made it false.
You'll be sure with that answer.
But two questions remain.
I heard that the five most powerful species were cat spirits, dragons, spirits, gods, and ghosts, but would any of these have the ability to create elaborate phantoms?
If it's just a phantom, you can create it magically, but if it's magical enough to fool your men for a long time, it should be tough on any spiritual clan.
It may be possible if the Divine Nation has special abilities, but I have never heard of having such abilities, even Agni, who has lived long.
Another question is, where did the enemy disappear?
The crime scene should have been completely besieged by my men.
The ground is no better than it was, and flying away from the sky won't do either.
And yet where...?
The enemy's actions were unpredictable, and Agni disturbed his head just like his men.
It was then.
A blur and a strange noise from the nearby ground... then a big hole was emptied.
"Hmm... sounds like it worked"
It was... human beings who put their faces out of it.
