Volume 2 - CH 370

TL rant : After almost full day of raining, the next day is scorching sunny, and it got me again

9-4. Assailants

Three robed figures enter from inside a wall that suddenly explodes.

They were wearing mask-like objects on their faces as well, so we could not see their bare faces.

The explosion has made a mess of the surroundings.

The wooden wall is shattered, chairs and desks nearby have been completely blown away, and damage has even been done to customers who are far away.

Some managed to escape, but many were too anxious to move their feet properly.

“What the hell is going on?!”

“Ouren-sama, please step back, Houen-dono! Your skills are not suited for this confined space!”

“That’s right!”

“Alena! Please!”

“Alright! [Heavy weight]!”

There was no room to go easy on those who had suddenly destroyed the place.

Realizing that the situation was unusual, Uchikage immediately moved in and sent out instructions.

So Alena’s heavy weight was directed at the three of them.

But …….

“Huh? How?!”

None of them dropped to their knees.

Alena sensed that the heavy weight was indeed applied to her opponent, but somehow it didn’t seem to be working at all.

The two robed figures then stepped forward.

“The Thunder Bow, and the Spirit Emperor, I presume.”

“…… working in the middle of the day? What a hard time you’re having.”

“I take that as an affirmative. Then.”

At that moment, the two men took out their weapons from between their robes.

One had a pair of swords, the other a staff.

The person in the rear is not moving at all, but it is better to be …… alert.

First of all, the enemies are in front of us.

It seems that these guys are targeting us and the two Thunder Bows.

I have no idea what’s going on, but we can’t let them get us easily.

The one who made the first move was Uchikage.

With his speed, he confronted the man with the twin swords.

Even so, it was as if the defeat was already confirmed when Uchikage was coming after them.

It is safe to say that we have little chance.

He disappeared with a “shun” sound, and pointed his claws at his opponent as if to say, “No more questions”.

“[QUICKLY].” (yes, it’s in english)

Before Uchikage’s attack could reach the opponent, the robed figure used his skill.

And just in time, the attack is evaded.

“!?”

“…….”

The opponent was clearly looking at Uchikage.

It seems that he has completely read through his move.

Upon realizing this, he immediately turned around and deployed his other claw, which was stored in his other rake.

With a kick to the air, he came to an abrupt stop.

Upon seeing the opponent’s movement, the enemy was already coming toward us.

Two twin swords, just hanging loosely, caught Uchikage from the underside.

The opponent took advantage of the force of the two swords to rotate and attack while spinning.

His movement was almost equal to the speed of Uchikage.

KHCLANG!

The sound of metal hitting each other is heard several times.

From the sound, we could even understand that they were attacking and defending themselves.

“What the ……!”

“You’re not bad.”

“The room is going to be destroyed, you know. ……!　[Kijin Flash Legs]!”

“[SLOWLY!” (Yes, in english again)

Kicking the ground with a powerful kick, Uchikage overturned a part of the floor.

The speed of the kick was completely different from the previous one.

It was supposed to.

CLANK!

The opponent’s twin swords blocked Uchikage’s attack.

Uchikage, who has the power of a Oni, has considerable offensive power, therefore, if it was just a contest of strength, he would not be defeated.

Thus, the opponent was pushed backward at once.

However, Uchikage was surprised.

He thought that there was no one who could prevent his attack.

An Orc herd can be disposed of in less than two seconds.

This was the fastest speed he could muster, and one of his trump cards.

I should not have been surprised.

“What’s the meaning of this ……?”

Alena’s heavy weights were ineffective, and Uchikage’s fastest attack was blocked.

What kind of person that able to stop his attack?

Meanwhile, the battle with the person who had taken out the staff was also being waged right alongside her.

A long distance attack is a good way to go.

So Roze first went forward and attacked the enemy.

”[Water bullet] <WATER RIFFLE>”

The water bullet turns water into a sharp-looking shape and shoots it into the enemy at an invisible speed.

This attack is Roze’s strongest magic and has the ability to track in various directions.

The opponent may not be pleased, but this is how combat is supposed to be.

However, the opponent will not remain silent.

“[SLOT]”.

As the opponent chanted, Roze’s water bullet magic was absorbed by something invisible.

It was a split-second moment, and from our point of view, it looked as if the magic had been cancelled out.

“!? [Water Bullet], <CUTTER>!”

Once again, the water bullet is deployed, this time stretching it sideways in a thin layer.

When it was thin enough, the water bullet magic flew toward the enemy.

But it was also cancelled out, and no damage was done to the opponent.

Confused as to what was going on, Roze immediately began observing the enemy.

The name of the earlier skill was heard.

SLOT.

That was the skill the opponent had used, but we are not entirely sure what effect this would have.

The one thing we do know about using magic, however, is that magic, or long-range skills, are nullified.

If that is the case, fighting in close quarters is most preferable.

Roze immediately poked the ground twice with her staff.

Yurie, who heard the “kon-kon” sound, leapt at once and attacked the opponent.

“Roze is confirmed! Take this!”

“gasp!?”

Using her battle-axe as a shield, she was able to block the attack from her opponent as she leapt.

From the opponent’s point of view, Yurie’s body is now hidden behind the axe, so they cannot see her.

Not knowing the enemy’s ability now, attacking with the axe is a risky move.

Therefore.

“Raaaaaah!”

“Ggoh-eh!”

Hitting normally with a fist.

The axe suddenly flew at them, and they were surprised and tried to avoid it, but Yurie’s fist caught them in the face, as if it was tracking them.

Apparently cleanly landed, the robed figure bounces several times on the floor and crashes into the wall.

Once she let go of the battleaxe, Yurie picked it up with her foot and quickly readied herself.

“First one!”

“Nice timing! Yurie!”

“Ah geez! How many years do you think we’ve known each other?”

Yurie timed her attack with only one signal.

I wish I could do something like that too.

Rattle rattle …….

The robed figure who blew away slowly stands up.

“Eh?”

Although he was holding his neck, he was moving almost the same as before.

It was as if no damage had been done at all.

“WHO THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!”x2

Uchikage and Yurie threw words at the enemy at the same time.
