Chapter 29

CHAPTER 29 – VS. WICKED SNAKE

「Sha――――――!!」

Evil Viper jumps down from the tree with its mouth open wide.

「「「Uwa―――――!!」」」

It swoops down on the Knights who were resting near the tree.

「「Yaa!」」

Allen and Elena had approached the Evil Viper before I noticed, they get past the Knights, ready to kick the Evil Viper’s jaw.

「! Allen, Elena get away!《Wind Cutter》」

I quickly get the two in panic and release a Wind Cutter.

Allen, Elena… when did you move there? No, un…… you have excellent moves, but… don’t surprise me like that……

The Evil Viper got pushed 1-2 meters away, but there was no visible damage.

「Earth, penetrate《Earth Needle》」

Several sharp pillars project from the ground in pursuit of the Evil Viper.

「You guys, quickly withdraw!」

Farius Tierra-sama shouts loudly and evacuates the Knights who are near the Evil Viper.

The one who used who used the Earth Magic a little while ago was apparently Tierra-sama.

The Tierra House is famous for producing people specialized in Earth Magic. He himself is probably a knight with Earth Magic as a specialty.

「Tak.u.mi, right? You were great help」

「No, Tierra-sama had a great follow-up」

「I don’t like being called with my house name. Farius is all right. Rather than those, these pipsqueaks are amazing. They reacted faster than anyone」

「These two acted intuitively…」

Farius-sama stands beside and adresses me.

If not for this situation, I would like to have a nice long talk, but we can’t afford that at the moment.

「Evil Viper, huh. A nasty fellow has appeared. Oi, wounded people fall back! Don’t get in the way or all of us will die」

Rudolph-san clicks his tongue, prepares his halberd and tells the injured to stay away.

I also give instructions to Allen and Elena to stay away from the Evil Viper.

「Iris, Gilm! You two provide support. Zack! Don’t act carelessly!!」

「I know!!」

Iris-san and Gilm-san take some distance, and set up their bows and throwing knives.

Zack-san draws his sword and lines up beside Rudolph-san.

「Gill, provide support」

From another party,『Flaming Soldiers Troupe』, swordsmen Gantz-san and Mick-san, and a mage Gillbard-san take battle positions.

The Knights who can move also draw their swords.

As expected, the half of the Knights that were attacked by the b.l.o.o.d.y Wolves and『Black Twin Sword』party fell back.

「Seiya!!」

When the battle preparations finished, Rudolph-san begins by slashing his halberd.

「Tsk! Ineffective as I expected. Didn’t leave a single scratch」

It has received almost no damage so far.

Evil Viper’s body――its shiny black surface doesn’t get damaged by both physical attacks and magic. It’s a first-grade material for protective gear. Soft and light attacks won’t injure it.

―――Doshin.

Evil Viper’s tail strikes the ground.

Uo! What a terrible sound. If that hits, won’t one receives a good amount of damage?

「Ha!」

「Yaa!」

「Fire, congregate《Fire Ball》」

「Light, pierce《Light Arrow》」

Offensive ranged attacks. Magic attacks. One after another hits the target, but to no effect.

Where is its weak point?

I observe the Evil Viper while shooting magic.

「「「Guwa!!」」」

Some of the knights get blown away by the viper’s tail.

The Evil Viper hisses as if sneering at us.

And the next moment, it rushes towards Zack-san.

Fast!

「Gu!!」

Zack-san tried to avoid, but the Evil Viper curved it’s body and instantly changed directions. It rammed into him, and he got blown off.

Furthermore, it continues to charge into other knights.

「「Unyuu~」」

Eeeeh~!?

Allen and Elena caught the Evil Viper’s tail and stopped its charge.

Again!? Mou~ why don’t you obediently wait for me~!!

The Evil Viper’s charge was stopped thanks to those two? The damage has been thereby suppressed, but… However, see, because you stopped the Evil Viper’s charge, it turned towards you two~!

「Allen, Elena! It’s dangerous so release the tail and get away from it!!」

I immediately retrieve a knife from《Infinite Storage》.

Then, I throw it at the Evil Viper who is glaring at Allen and Elena.
