Chapter 67 (2/2)
Even after that, the girl continued to attack making the swordsman only block and defend.
「I cannot let Annsan take all the limelight. Come now, Lightning Spirits, take care of them!」
Obeying the blonde girl's words, the Lightning Spirits attacked the Grey Night at once.
However, their side also has a magician.
B-Rank, on top of that. He should be enough against the Lightning Spirits.
「Nnnnn!!」
The B-Rank magician placed his hands on the ground and released his magic powers.
Suddenly, the ground stood up and stopped the Lightning Spirits' advance.
「Ara, ara, you're quite good. However, lightning does not definitely move straight」
From the back of the earth wall, a flash raised to the sky.
That flash bunched up together then fall towards the Grey Night.
In short, it was a lightning bolt.
It was only the axeman's instinct that enabled him to evade that.
His experienced that made him reach B-Rank sensed the danger and made his body move.
He rolled on the group and took distance from his comrades.
Even so, he was still a little numb, but it was far away from a direct hit.
When he raised his head, he saw his four comrades shocked on the ground.
The only ones remaining is himself and the swordsman.
However, just right now, that swordsman was defeated by the girl with a huge sword.
Unable to take the strike, his sword flew out from his hand, and an instant later, he received a strong kick to his stomach and crouched to the ground.
He collapsed while spitting gastric juice and looked exactly like that of an ogre(Oni).
「Why……I should've been stronger than the school's graduate……why must I lose to a student……!」
「……honestly, you're weak. It's an easy win even without using strengthening magic」
After the girl with a huge sword muttered that, she kicked the swordsman again and made him faint.
Because of that, only the axeman remained.
「If it comes to this, I can only gamble!」
It was a complete miscalculation that not only the Rank hiding inside the barrier, but even these two girls were strong.
However, that girl embracing Haku should be weak. Please be weak.
With that prayer in mind, he swung his axed towards the little girl.
After killing this girl and stealing away Haku, there is still a chance to get away if Haku is used as a hostage.
So what if my comrades were not saved.
In this case, it's enough if I get away.
Rather, I don't need to split the money from selling Haku.
That's right, nothing has ended yet.
Everything will be solved if this girl dies.
DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIEーー.
「It's so slow that I would even feel yawning」
It was not, solved.
Because, this little girl in front of me, he stopped my axe with one hand.
She doesn't even look like she's using her strength.
As if she had caught a towel thrown to her, she stopped my attack with all of my strength with two fingers.
「However, I've never used an axe. Please lend it to me」
The little girl took away my axe with just the strength of her finger.
I was even holding it with both hands, but she stole it so easily.
「U〜n……the balance of its weight is very different with a sword. It's looks very hard to use……eii!」
And, the girl swung the axe with one hand.
It was not like she hit something.
But, for some reason, an explosive sound was made. A gale of wind rose up to the air.
The axeman who no longer holds an axe was blown away by that single swing of the girl, and fell to his bottom.
「It's hard to use as I've thought. It would be on the way so I should keep it away」
The axe disappeared from the girl's hand.
It was not like it became invisible in the darkness, nor she melted it using Flame Magic.
As if it had never existed in the first place, it simply disappeared.
「……M-Monster!!!!」
「How rude! I'm a human you know! I'm a normal girl! Right, Haku〜」
「Pii〜」
Haku, carried by the girl with one hand, stared at me. Then it suddenly opened its mouth and breathed fire.
「UOOOO?!!」
Although its body is small, its firepower was strong.
The axeman was covered in flames, rolled around to take off the fire, stood up and ran away.
Without properly checking the direction, he desperately ran to the forest.
What were those girls?
Especially that girl carrying Haku, she's a complete monster.
Just knowing that something like that exists in this world is frightening.
I cannot imagine a monster greater than that.
Anyways, I should run away.
After that, I should quit stealing.
I don't know what I'm going to do in the rest of my life, but I should just behave.
As long as I'm able to escape from that girl, I can start again.
「……this place is, a cave? The place where the parent Haku is, huh. However, I can't feel its aura at all」
That scout guy even said that he felt Haku's presence from the cave.
Did it die while we were fighting?
If so, I should take back a part of parent Haku's corpse.
Just taking a few scales should make me live for quite a while.
「Hehe……it look's like I still have the devil's luck」
The axeman carefully searched the dark cave.
Although it's inconvenient without a light, since it would decrease the possibility for the girls to find me, I can say it's fortunate.
