Rebirth ~ From The Upper World To The Lower World Chapter 59 (1/2)
Translator: Drakuro
T.N: Ever had one of those days where everything goes wrong, and when you try to fix it, new problem pops out, so you just decided to go: “f.u.c.k this s.h.i.+t, I’m going to sleep”. Yeah, that’s basically what happens to me this last 2 weeks. Had to spend some time back with my family, went visiting relatives and I have nothing aside from my s.h.i.+t-tier laptop that could barely open youtube.
After being back to my place, open the pc to translate this chapter, decided to check alphapolice if there’s anything new with the light novel of this, where it turns out volume 3 is coming out. Yay, but then I realized they deleted ch100 to 173 as that is what comprises of volume 3, and I only copied until 150. Panicked I try a few things trying get back the chapter, long story short I managed to get it back from ncode. But then I thought, “hey they’re bound to delete all the others, might a.s.s well copy them all” which I did, copied them all till ch404(kind of hard since alphapolice makes you unable to copy the text), and then BAM! my google docs kind of freeze. Turns out, my computer cant really handle 2000 pages o google docs, so I had to cut it into 4(100 chapters per doc.u.ment), a process that sounds simple but a real pain in the a.s.s as I need to cut 10 chapters per try as any more than that would freeze my browser. So yeah, after a few try of those and going “f.u.c.k it, I’m going to sleep”, now I’m here again.
TLDR: s.h.i.+t happens, but now I’m here again.
Chapter 59 Reward
The enemies are close. I should have already been in their range of their arrows. That said, they still hadn't shoot yet, so maybe they're waiting until I'm closer for a sure kill. However, I have no obligation to wait until they start their attacks, so allow me to be the one who make the first move.
I closed the distance little by little. I told the knight to stay with Claire and the others as he would just get in the way. Just as according to the plan given by Claire and Diabell, I starts my attack.
The number of enemies shown on the Map is around 30? I guess no matter how much the Prince's faction pay they would not be able to dispatch all the knights just for this, so instead the hired a.s.sa.s.sin consist of adventurers and the mercenary type. Then it means the other party won’t necessarily do a frontal attack, as there's a possibility that they'll use special tactics like using magics. I should take note of that.
The geographical features in front of me allows people to hide at both the left and right side. It's a convenient thing that they're hiding in a dry and easy to burn place. First lets smoke them out of the hiding place. The moment I hardened the image of fireball so surround me, arrows came flying from where the enemies had been hiding.
They're really going for the kill, but tough luck for them. We're already prepared for that. Immediately before the rain of arrows struck me, the arrows changed directions. It's the power of Diabell's Wind Spirit.
And then my magic had been completed even before the arrows came. Multiple small fireball appeared and fly over towards the left and right of the forest.
””Gyaaaah!!””
The originally dry areas rapidly burns, and the enemy who were on fire came out rolling on the ground. By watching the battle of the female wizard in the dungeon, I have now learned a variety of new magics to try. I could apply them with my attack. Although I've managed to kill several people with my previous attack, there's still many enemies outside the range of my attack that came rus.h.i.+ng to attack us. However I shouted before they arrived.
”The ring is with me! Try to defeat me if you want it!” (Est)
I take the ring out of my pocket and raise it above my head when I said that. With this their aim will be only on me. Now then, from here it's the crucial moment. The enemies that are still alive changed their target to only me, and all came towards me shouting while swinging their swords.
Claire used her Spread Shot to stop the enemies, but one of them used his own body as a meat s.h.i.+eld to block the attacks on his companion. The arrows came flying in an instant as it stabbed into his body.
”Wha!?” (Claire)
Claire leaks out her surprise as the enemy blocked her attacks in an unexpected ways. To be honest I'm as surprised as she is. They're fine dying as long as they completed the mission――I guess as expected of a.s.sa.s.sin?
There's still half of the enemies remaining. They're already near, so it's time to use the wide range Lightning magic. Although I've managed to defeat lots of them by raining down lightning, it seems that there's also enemy that had countermeasure against lightning among them. Not to mention the enemies that I have decreased by half started closing in on me without stopping.
”Tch!” (Est)
His attacks is quite fast. I guess as expected of high level adventurer, this one might be specialized in speed. He swings a dagger instead of using long heavy sword. Even if there's level differences,sword and s.h.i.+eld alone cant block too many people. I desperately fight back with my sword and s.h.i.+eld. I s.h.i.+fted my body to avoid the attacks that slipped my defense aiming for my vitals. The enemy's sword slipped past my armor making some sound.
I fought pretty well considering the limit of me being alone. I pierced one while paying attention to the sword of the other one, and then one person rushed forward while thrusting his sword. ”Give me your life!” he said, he would have looked good in a gangster movie. I'm planning to avoid his thrust at my torso, but the moment the blade almost reached me, something hit him and blew him to the side.
”What!?”
When I look there, a huge golem made of soil stood behind the enemies while swinging it's fist. That should be the Earth Spirit that Diabell had summoned. As their movements suddenly stopped from being distracted by the golem, The arrows that Claire shoot pierced one after another. With that another three is down.
One person dashed forward trying to end the battle, and without caring about the wound done by me, he held my blade down with his body. Even when it digs into his meat until blood flows, he clings to my sword without caring about the pain. It's going to be dangerous for me if he keeps on holding my weapon――I tried to throw away my sword and take some distance, the companion of the one who hold my sword didn't miss the chance to swing his sword at me. However, someone blocked that sword from the side. It's the previous knight. I'm slightly surprised since I didn't expect that at all.
