The tioes back to when Kanna arrived at the enca fro its life while still spurting blood

After it fell down, the next one in her field of vision also suffers the saoblin parts with its life

Viewed from above, the oblin's nest was formed in the central part of it

Prior reconnaissance confiroblins in a cave on the side of thein a tent-like berth made of unprocessed lus they picked up from somewhere

In this operation, the fully equipped Genryuu Knights launch their offensive froile and lightly arh a precipitous path in a flanking hts will direct the attention of goblins to theitated goblins from the flank

For all that preparation, the opponents aretools

This kind of strategy would be hts, success would be a natural outcome Moreover, there are also the presence of experienced C-rank adventurers capable of impromptu adaptation to some extent There was no foreseeable issue to address

「nuu………As expected, [that] has a tad too ozaru na」

As Chloenegligent Led by a B-rank adventurer, Chloe and the other C-rankers continues to annihilate goblins without facing any particular difficulty

「………nu?」

Sensing a presence behind her, Chloe turns around only to see a goblin pierced between its eyebroith a spear before she can swing her sword

Wielding the spear to pierce a goblins' skull in a single strike is a rugged man, who then shook his spear and toss the corpse to the side

「Ops, was it unnecessary?」

「No, that was helpful de gozaru」

「Gahahaha I see Let's both do our best not to die out here then」

Leaving behind echoes of a hearty laughter, the rugged man carries his spear in search for new prey Chloe also fixes her posture and continue to cut down goblins

After a while, a slightly larger goblin appears in front of Chloe A goblin variant Although not to the extent of a superior variant, it still has a stronger physique than a norher in quality than its nornated as a D-ranka dull roar Chloe evades and continue to walk pass the goblin with leisure, slashi+ng it along the way

However, her slash ends up only cutting a shalloound on the green skin With its face distorted by pain, the goblin swung its sword in anger Chloe jumps backward to avoid and distanced herself

「With a different [weapon], its usage will differ as well de gozaru na」

Chloe's specialized weapon has a unique shape with si method and Draknil's weapon store possess neither

She had to make do with the closest-in-shape [one-handed sword], but as Chloe grumbled, it feels subtly different to her If she were to possess the [weapon] she used in her birthplace, the goblin would have been cut down even with increased defense than it has now

Of course, even with the [sword] currently in her hand, she can face this particular goblin head-on with plenty of rooozaru ka?」

Another goblin attacks from the side but Chloe nimbly turns aside to evade

「[Thunder Blade]………activate」

She holds her sith two hands She invoked the spell just before gripping it, and it activated i] borne out of her hands are now pouring into the blade She turns around and drops her sword onto the attacking goblin

Upon contact with her sword, the green body got cut off into two as easily as slicing tofu It split into two and cru out

Either it judged this oblin, the variant goblin brandish its sword at Chloe while raising its voice

She counters the bloith her oord

Thereupon, the attacking goblin twitches as if having a convulsion and stops oblin with her [thunder] blade It should have resulted in a slash wound just like earlier, but this tiain as it received a blow that split apart ush out frooblin's corpse lying on the ground, the cross section parts looks burnt as if it had been heated at high teainst opponents with oblin's corpse and co through weapon

That is the idea of an energy-efficient inal idea appeared in a farumpy ossan pilots a blue mobile suit

It was the [heat weaponry] it wielded

She did not have enoughbolt A direct strike with it on the other hand would be too dangerous Taking that into consideration, he proposed channeling lightning into a weapon faic developed based on this idea is the lightning-type support spell currently used by Chloe, the [Thunder Blade]

It is a spell that houses [lightning] inside a blade,When her sith the spell invoked collides with acurrent trans wrapped up in [lightning] boosts the blade's sharpness

And because the channeling only needs to be done on the weapon itself, it only requires a minimum ay efficient trait

As a result of her daily training since childhood, Chloe excels ather very co idea very inator

Of course, there are also drawbacks

「ouch ow It's hot de gozaru」

Chloe yelps and release [Thunder Blade] in a fluster

The [Thunder Blade] grants the additional effect of lightning in addition to a sharp increase in sharpness

However, it also comes with a side-effect

The entire sould heat up to an [ultra high temperature] due to its inherent [electrical resistance] That heat is the reason behind those burnt goblin corpse but at the sah the handle

As a result, the spell could not be used in succession, not until her sword cools down first If she were to continue activating it forcibly, her hand will suffer burns

To cope, Chloe wrapped the handle of the ready-made sith a heat resistant ap measure, not a solution

It only provides te ultra high teets to undo the spell, she will be sizzled like she did just a o

「This is an issue to be addressed hereafter de gozaru na」

Though it has a major drawback, the increase in offensive ability acts as a perfect counterbalance

Above anything else, it is a ic borne from Kanna's idea It would be inexcusable to hie

Chloe is now on

All of a sudden…

She hears an dreadful sound

She perks her ears up and raise her alertness a notch Other adventurers around her are equally wary In a battle against ic beasts, unexpected situations are a daily occurrence The closer adventurers are to being first-class, the es

Once again, it resounds

「Over there de gozar……ru………ka?」

Chloe who identified the source the sound, turns her face facing it

However, the sight she witnessedin the air

Several goblins were bloith less than whole body parts intact

Furtheroblins and its body parts dancing in the air every time the sound reverbrates

「Oh, that is the [Ryuuken (Dragon Sword)]」

The spearoblins have all been swept away and there are no oblins around Skirmish in this area has probably reached its end

The other adventurers are heading to a new area in search for goblins

「Ryuuken……… If this one isn't hts participating in this operation……de gozatta ka?」

「The person is the youngest ever to reach rank in Draknil's guild Probably one of the strongest in Diagal as well」

「Is that also the work of Ryuuken-dono?」

「I've only heard about this frouy possesses unrivaled physical strength core] I saw hiht that itfro」

While they are having that conversation, goblins continue to fly one after another In a closer observation, a sword's glint can be seen froht Without a doubt, that is fro

「………Rather than that, isn't it strange that the coozaru ka?」

「I'd rather have that than someone who only sits in the back and relax」
