Something I was supposed to have captured on the other side of my sight was already looming in front of me.
A shadow that flies at a tremendous speed wipes out roughly dozens of steps between blinks.
But less than that second.
That alone is enough for adventurers who have had experience.
Reclining instantly, Tapa squeezed the bowstring.
And unleash it towards the top.
As connected by yarn, Tari also bowed to it.
My wrist is already gone, and the dagger I was holding is disappearing.
Godan, who switches positions with the Lord to be defended in an instant, thrusts his rhombus shield hard.
A shadow with a sharp upper edge over his abdomen made a deafening squeal.
At the same time, Bettina's fine sword, which turned behind the shield, runs the white residual light.
The bloodshed broke out and one of the stalled shadows hit the sidewall to make a flashy noise.
Walking like the wind, keeping the black shadows in sight, the Godans keep themselves low and do not break their fighting posture.
Keep going and don't panic. Speak to each other.
"Are you hurt?
"... a little forehead"
"... I'm intact"
"We're safe here, too. Where are you from?
To that inquiry, the wind man turned silently to the tip of a new dagger to the sky.
The shadows that struck the line nearly spreading their wings back high.
"I see you used the valley breeze."
One that could have been dropped to the ground shows no sign of having already run out.
Confirming that the monsters had disappeared over the valley, Bettina finally cut her gaze and turned her face to you.
It was the big bird that was nodding at the wall.
The only thing that seems the most birdy is its black feather-covered body.
From the neck to the top, bent at odd angles, he looked alien.
It looks just like the skull of a stripped person.
But the mouth thereof is the beak of the bird, which protrudes far in advance.
To her perceived appearance, the red-haired woman narrowed her eyes and affirmed.
"This is probably the Black Skeleton Eagle. Hmm, that looks pretty flavorful. If Moo sees it, he'll be happy."
"I'm sure you'll be thrilled. If it's Master Moo."
"... oh, if it's that young girl"
Tapa, who had his brother apply blood suppression restorative pills, also rises up and approaches the monster as he joins the conversation.
The cloth wrapped around its forehead showed quite the depth of the dirt wound on the blood.
Noticing Bettina's gaze, Tapa flips the body of the Black Skeleton eagle with a bow and shows the large nails growing on its legs.
"... got hit by a second one of these"
"Yeah, well, next time, I guess."
"... oh"
And when the eagle's wings were spread out, they were of a size exceeding the length of the tapas.
Recover the arrow that was piercing his head and chop off his neck using the dagger that was stabbing him in the chest.
The arrows are painted with red poison frog paralysis poison, so they are not suitable for consumption.
Turning upside down and draining blood, Tari, who had her dagger returned, pointed her mouth in dissatisfaction.
"... don't use it on your own, Tapa"
"... it would be as good as this"
"... use your own"
"... labor the injured more"
"... Shut up"
"Yes, that's it! Fight over the crap again. Look, I'm leaving now."
The twins, who had stopped arguing for a long time, walk out in line in Godan.
Next to the right of the shield is the wind, and behind it is the bowman.
On the other side, Bettina leans in position to pull the sword out at any time.
Gauld, the guide, woke up from behind the long shield he stood against the wall, looking behind a moving line.
The end of its mouth is lifting small.
The Black Skeleton Eagle, attacked by a steep descent from above the valley, is quite a difficult foe.
That speed is enough to pack close to eighty steps a second, and at first sight it will definitely be the feather that gets your back tucked away.
It is a speed that a normal person cannot react to even if he notices it.
The monster's nest is at the top of the wall and cannot be ascertained from the valley bottom.
Because of the way to turn left and right, it is also strict to investigate in advance.
I've been ambushed so many times, I just have to remember.
Garoud, who has traveled to and from this valley dozens of times, has made it possible to perceive beforehand and escape.
He was speaking deliberately to deceive the sound of sneaking up against the wall and hiding himself behind the shield.
"Have you changed your formation? You know exactly what I mean..., you're not Dada."
It is now a chase wind, but the valley bottom may suddenly change the wind direction.
If you are too alert to surprise attacks from behind, the next thing you know, you can be attacked from the front.
With that point firmly in mind, it would have been an easy side-by-side to deal with back and forth.
The basic tactic of the Black Skeleton Eagles is to strike out.
Because if you get dropped on the ground, you almost never win or lose.
That is why it is crucial to prevent a first blow thoroughly.
It's also passed that I let him analyze that much on a short offense, but what Garud was concerned about was Bettina's move earlier.
In that moment, the red-haired swordsman let him choose without hesitation the leading hand wounded from among the four eagles.
The sword judgment for sure is what I've been after, no matter how I look at it.
The goodness of the response she showed is a testament to those who have waved their swords for a long time.
By fighting dozens or hundreds of battles, the sword becomes familiar with its body.
Points are earned through those drills, and skills grow.
Though there are some examples that are slightly too out of standard, most like Tor.
Usually with the skill of martial arts, one can also deduce how the person's skills are developed.
That is why Bettina's lack of skills was unusual.
To make sure no one could hear him, Garud leaked a whine full of expectations.
"Well, I don't know what you're hiding, so let's fight him (...)... I'm looking forward to it."
