Episode Three: Five Claws Ripping the Earth

A mud bear (Mad Grizzly) approached me as I turned my bloody eyes this way.

We intercept the two men on their way.

Mud bears are ferocious demons, but at the same time cowardly.

When attacked by an opponent, he is frightened by the pain.

If you do any more damage, you'll escape the scene.

"Ha!"

Blink a blow waved down at the mercy of your strength, flashing like a sweep up.

Blood blows out, but it doesn't lead to amputation.

As he roared in pain, the mud bear waved his arms down again.

Step and dodge.

At the same time, focus the attack on the area you just slashed.

The blood spilled and the movement of his right arm fell.

So he deliberately hits and invites the mud bear to attack.

He swung his machete down from the upper section toward his arm slapped to the ground.

The mud bear's right arm falls to the ground.

If you take the damage of losing an arm, the mud bear will try to escape.

――――

And he snorted at me with his left arm.

It was recirculated with a jade knife, and the recoil was used to jump back.

"These mud bears, they're not looking right."

"Oh. I saw the Devil's Eye lightly, too, but it's starting to frighten me."

Six mud bears are looking this way.

They saw us more as a threat than any of the others in the carriage.

Some mud bears are eating Elphi's demonic eyes and losing part of their bodies, but it's not as if they're in pain.

"It could be a new species born in the course of thirty years."

"There may be that too..."

Six mud bears moved out at the same time.

Run the ground on four legs and create a formation that draws half a moon.

Obviously, these guys are working together.

"For one thing, let's just say I get rid of it with my arms. Iori, stay back."

Elfi stepped forward.

"Come on, scratch. (Ex) You can worship the Demon King once in a while...!"

Elfi exhaled her pneumonia, whispering bossy and original.

Instead of his eyes, his magic concentrates on his right arm.

When you open your five fingers and take a structure that sticks out your nails,

"-" Demon Arm/Broken "-"

The magic that was covering his arms formed a giant five nails.

As it stood, Elfi clapped his right arm to the mud bears coming towards him.

At the same time as the nails that remind me of that of the dragon species touch the mud bears that have penetrated from the front.

The torso of the five mud bears was torn to pieces and blew away.

Five deep scars are also engraved on the ground, and shock waves violently shake the surrounding grass.

Exactly overkill.

The only one who could avoid it was the one who was behind.

It's also been blown away by Elphi's shockwave.

――――

The last one, flipping the glue and the body, changed the target from us to the carriage.

Earlier, I slashed off my right arm.

The carriage people were apparently distracted by Elphi's blow.

An inverted mud bear has stuck me by surprise and my reaction has been delayed.

... I don't have a choice.

"Phew!"

He threw two knives at the back leg of a mud bear running to the carriage with four legs.

The knife pierces deep into the back leg of the mud bear who was turning his back.

It's just a knife that Zoltz worked out, and it's pretty sharp.

The stabbing of the knife stopped the mud bear from moving.

Walk through the side of the elphi and flesh to the mud bear.

Turn your body this way, a mud bear with an open mouth trying to intercept you.

Concentrate your magic and let the rocks go -,

"- Huh!"

The sorcery was never unleashed.

Because sooner than that, we were desperate with this flash.

A mud bear's neck with its mouth open falls to the ground with a cheek.

Six mud bears that were making a scene in the streets were wiped out and the battle was over.

"Thank you!"

After the battle with mud bears.

One woman jumped from the carriage in momentum and shouted her thanks.

Keep running towards us.

Running is a woman in her twenties or so wearing a dress.

In addition to the dress, she wears necklaces, rings and other ornaments.

Out of the outfit, it's probably noble.

"... maybe noble. It's troublesome to piss me off, so don't be rude."

"Whatever."

At the same time as stabbing a nail in the elphi with a whisper, a woman came right in front of me.

"Ha... ha... Thank you so much for helping me in danger!!"

She was a woman characterized by long red hair that could be seen to be cared for and large, cedary eyes.

She is wearing thin makeup and has red on her lips as well.

She seemed to wear perfume and smelled fluffy and sweet.

... It should be the first time we meet, but for some reason I have a sense of vision.

Apart from that, I felt heterogeneous magic from her.

It is closer to the Elfida Demon Nation than to human magic.

"I'm not thankful. Was it important?"

"Yes, it was dangerous, but no one was seriously injured."

According to a woman's story, as she was passing the street in a carriage, she was suddenly attacked by a mud bear.

The neighborhood is well maintained, and there aren't many demons out there.

As a result, there was no great deal of power, and it seemed like a dangerous place without us.

The voice is loud, but the goodness of growing up comes from what you do and the tone of your tone.

But I didn't get as arrogant as the kingdom aristocrats.

That's a good impression inside.

Those guys can even think about yelling at me from the beginning, "Why didn't you help me sooner!"

"Dear Karen!"

From the carriage, a squire man came here.

A man with yellow hair, in his thirties.

"Don't move even though you don't know if it's safe"

"It's okay! They defeated the demon, so it's safe!"

…………

A man who called the woman Master Karen has turned his gaze to Chirali and here.

From that perspective, I feel something like a thorn somewhere.

"... from your outfit, you're not from around here. Excuse me, where are you from?"

With a grumpy look on his face, a man asks about his identity.

Are you trying to say, "Stay away from the lady, you lowlife"?

As it turns out, you have a good attitude towards the person you helped.

"... this is who we are"

Without putting that on my face, I took the guild card out of my porch.

This is when I became an adventurer.

"Adventurers of the Union...... Is that also an A-rank for both of you...!"

The woman is surprised to see her hands on her mouth.

The man narrows his eyes and is silent.

Now at least, you won't be licked.

"I'm late for my application. My name is Karen Rayford!"

"... this is Jean, Karen's squire"

Karen was an imperial nobleman and named herself the daughter of a lord of Rayford territory ahead of her.

I've heard of the last name Rayford.

Earlier, when I saw Karen, I felt a sense of ready-to-see, no way...

"I'd like to ask you...... do you know Mr. Gash Reynard?"

"That's my father's name... do you know my father!?"

――――

Gash Reynard.

Thirty years ago, I met a nobleman when I came to the Empire.

We've fought together, and it's impressive.

One of those who wanted to see me at first sight.

"Old... I know, it's like"

"Really..."

Karen darkened her expression to my words for some reason.

A little, a bad feeling passes my chest.

"Maybe I was going through here because my father needed me?"

"No, it's coincidence. Dead Swamp Labyrinth."

Karen shook her neck to the side once she mouthed.

"... I am an adventurer, and you may have come to crusade the labyrinth, but unfortunately I cannot enter the labyrinth now"

"……… why?"

I have a feeling it's troublesome.

I could hear Elfi exhaling small as he meditated his eyes.

I feel the same way.

"... because the labyrinth is stretched with boundaries"

"Realm, is it"

Karen said.

To keep the demons out, the line is stretched.

That's good.

In the labyrinth of the kingdom, too, the line should have been stretched.

Looks like there's some complicated situation from Karen's mouth, but that's good too.

But the problem was the next word.

"I'm putting my boundaries in the labyrinth because..."

Aristocratic name, that you are putting boundaries in the labyrinth.

- I'm a nobleman named Olivia Eliestille.

Fluffy, my body shakes a little.

Kept his mouth shut so he didn't look like Karen.

"... Iori?"

I was surprised that the woman I helped was the daughter I once knew.

Happy coincidence.

But I didn't expect to hear that name from that woman.

Olivia Eliestille.

You betrayed me, it's a woman's name.
