Section 2: Strong Shield

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

On the leftover snow playing the moonlight. It was a dozen wolves and a few bears who represented themselves there.

"Undead? Luminous night of the moon. You're the right enemy to deal with in a lonely place."

Animals near Sorletta Ritta have large bodies and thick furs to resist the cold. So compared to normal flatland wolves and bears, the level is also high.

"Snowwolf is level 3, Snowbear over there... I guess it was level 5 for sure"

Nevertheless, when it comes to level 5, it's the same Ent I've been knocking down the more I dislike earlier. I can't say I'm such a tough enemy considering that...

"But that's not just a wolf. The unpleasant air drifts away."

I guess Laplice, the fairy, can tell. There are just signs of animals coming out of the ruins. I've been feeling chilly since just now. Nothing. The temperature's low and it's not freezing. Because from the wolves and bears in front of me, I can't feel any kind of anger.

"Surely the Lord didn't like the undead. Why don't you stay back until we clear this up?"

Remember when we talked about zombies in church, you were scared with Mr. Alonda, or Saluena noticed me and said so.

"Ugh, uh-huh. I'm fine. Even if I say undead, it doesn't look normal at the moment..."

I know that Laplice, Saluena, and I are undead that their opponents already work while they're dead.

But it's not more corrupt than I imagined. Zombies that appear in the illustrations of adventure novels are mostly things with missing limbs, popped eyes, and pretty grotesque, but they are not at all zombie-like, regardless of whether the word is appropriate…

Is it hard to tell that the meat is about to rot because it is wrapped around fur, anyway adding the temporal condition of night doesn't feel like I can't help but be scared at the moment.

"You sure do. The theory is that zombies move with resentful spirits in their bodies, and that physical damage is severe to attack them without distinction between enemy allies…"

"Not if you're relaxing and explaining, sister!!"

"Grrrrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!

One snowbear doesn't take snow for a thing, he comes running. The giant body of the bear, bathed directly from the light of the moon, rises a dark shadow, shooting at the beholder.

But that's only if the other person is a petty person like me.

"No problem. There's no point in my sword being stopped by the beast."

Saluena completely sealed the attack without even being pressured against the dragon and jumped her neck under one sword. There's no way that Saluena would have cowered to the point of a bear.

Make sure Unicorn intercepts you on Saluena's orders and step forward. Saluena then shielded the heavy blow that the bear had fired, and when she flipped the blade, she jumped her neck.

"Hiuuuuuuu!! Sasu but sister!! Unicorn is good too!! Please do it at that rate!!"

Unicorn runs on the snow as Laplice cheers.

"Grrrrrrrr......"

Seeing the bear fall, a dozen wolves move to surround us. But Unicorn's healthy legs won't allow it. He kicked Snowwolf looming from behind and blossomed blacker on the white snow. I saw it over Saluena's shoulder and became a boulder.

But that's all. I've seen those things several times in dating the adventures of the Toslins when I was in the village of Lelton. Closer, I've seen it when it's brighter.

"Lord, if you're scared, you can keep your eyes closed."

"Yeah, I'm fine!! But thanks for worrying!!"

Now that I'm an adventurer, I'm going to see these things again and again. Every time you turned a blind eye, you didn't have enough lives.

"Right. Then I guess I can leave them to you."

Saluena put her foot on the back of the unicorn and jumped, just as she did when she jumped over the heads of all the soldiers in front of the Sorletta walls.

And this time, it was Snow Bear who made the sacrifice of the sword that was waved down. Thick fur was cleaved from his shoulder and cut open. Oh, was he originally dead?

"Ooh, my sister jumped all over the enemy herd!! I'm sure you'll be fine over there, but are you okay over here?"

As Laplice clung to the hyena, he looked back and looked at me.

"I can't afford to be fine... but I'm in charge, so I'll do my best. Hey, unicorn?"

Five Snowwolves, together, strike from front, back, left and right.

Wolves have a lonely image, but I've read in some book that when hunting big prey, they form a herd. Even if you are dead, do you still have that kind of instinctive thing?

"Unicorn, behind you please!!"

Two snowwolves attacking from my blind spot kicked the unicorn's right and left legs out at the same time.

"Duh! Coming from the front and side!!"

But I can't use the front leg of the unicorn right now because it is a fulcrum. There are three enemies and two forelegs, even if they can be used more often. I'm going to leak one.

"Quick, turn the shield over here!!"

Then Laplice is right, you just have to prevent it with the magic formations that are letting it unfold around you... and I tried it because I had a little idea when I thought so.

A surplus of magic was thrown at Snowwolf, separate from the magic formations that moved forward and sideways in defense.

"Gahhh!?"

"Gahin '!?"

When I said throw it, I didn't grab it by hand. Simply painting an image in my head as I approached the enemy, it already flew in momentum.

"Uhhhhhh... my enemies got two in a flash!?"

Snowwolf, who was about to jump at us, was blocked first of all from his hand going to the great magic formation and sealed his movements. The magic formation that threw its leg where it stopped was hit and the torso was turned into two straight pieces.

"I thought it would work if I threw it because it was tough, but you're better suited to attack than I thought, this"

"Instead of being suitable, this is not the right way to use it. It's as sharp as it sounds. Even an axe can't crack a bone."

The number of magic formations currently rolling out at the same time is 10. I wonder if we could add more to this?

"Strong Shield to Invade"

Trying to send words into the ring and chanting it, the unicorn hyena shined again hard, additionally the magic formation unfolded.

"Hey... we've doubled the number. Are you sure you're all right? Sounds like the magic is going up, so I'm not worried about it at the moment, but I'm guessing you can control it, right? Don't hit your sister by mistake?"

"Yeah, I'll be careful. But now that we've doubled the number, it's easier to attack."

Snowbears are coming this way, along with a few Snowwolves.

"How long will it take to get there?"

This magic doesn't work unless I'm by the unicorn. So once activated, how far can this magic formation be moved? To try it, I threw a couple of demon squares with my distance still quite open.

HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Gahhhh! Ghh, ohh..."

And finally, Snowbear, who ate the direct strike of the two magic formations, sank in the snow dossssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

The distance between Snow Bear and me is roughly twenty meters twice that of a wolf. Apparently, that's about the effective range of the magic formation. Although the first piece of magic mutilated Snow Bear's thick fur, it disappeared along the way. Apparently, the magic formations that have gone out of range will vanish.

"... this magic can defeat dragons too, right?"

The already dead Snowwolves will never feel threatened by the enemy. Whether your buddy (and I suspect you recognize him) falls or falls, he comes at us trying to take us down.

"I wonder if this magic formation will prevent dragon braces"

Plus, a blow rolling out of that thick tail. Will this shield prevent that attack so that Mr. Rose and Gortmund can be wiped out at once?

"If we overlap without gaps, why don't we do something about it?"

It was when I got that rating from Laplice. I returned Snowwolf jumping from the front with a magic formation.

Snowwolf falls down in dsuch. I breathed heavily, making sure it stopped working.

"Saluena, this way..."

Cleared up. The moment I tried to say that, my voice clogged.

"Ah... eh?"

Precisely, I can't breathe anymore.

"Aw, hey!? Ah..."

What, this. My body doesn't move. Instead of being able to breathe at your will, you can't even blink.

Naturally, there is no voice in this state, and the slightly leaked air emits a sound that does not become a plundered voice.

(breath... bitterness... eh, why... Why, I...)

"Oh... whoa!? I'm falling!! What the fuck!!"

What are you doing... desperately, trying to breathe... Oh, because of that I... am I about to fall out of a unicorn?

"Gu, gu... Ah, sister!! Sister of Saluena!! Irise!!"

Laplice grabs my robe and is desperately trying to lift it. But her little feathers don't support my weight, and I keep falling from head to ground.

For a moment I thought it might not hurt much to fall because of the snow. But even if I may, if I can't breathe like this, I'll die. I don't know what that means, I can't do anything, I'm dead.

"Irie zuck!?"

For the first time, I feel like I've heard Saluena scream. But the voice is far away. I guess that's partly because my consciousness is getting thinner.

……

My body, which I can no longer support with Laplice's little hands, falls. When breathlessness reaches its limit and something called death becomes realistic.

"Hey here. What are you doing to my precious people?"

Such a voice pops into my ear......

"Oh...... YOU!!"

The next moment, my body was embraced.
