The Varow group attacked under the cover of the constant rain of arrows and Gawiik’s group had no choice but to respond to them, so they intercepted the attack to try to stop it
「Kou! Hurry and get back to Lef and Karen!」(Gawiik)
Gawiik gave Kou this order while taking cover behind Mandel’s shi+eld as he was trying to figure out his own tih his enchanted sword “Wind Cutter” and surrounded himself with its power His opponent was the vice-captain of the Varow group, the female swordsman Stua
When he engaged he had to keep the Varow squad in his line of sight as erous for him to turn his back on them
After a while Stua had closed the distance, but it was Gawiik to made the preemptive move Due to the natures of their swords, Gawiik had to keepStua’s sword by swinging the “Wind Cutter” His opponent’s sould create a shockwave if he tried to block it, so he needed to evade it
As sparks were scattered through the air froht, Mandel and Karvan had also locked swords nearby Both of theht without worrying about the arrows
While the front , Varow’s arrows rained down incessantly on the rear le archer, the rate of fire of the mechanical boas such that by the tiet the next arroas already fired
「Vovaah~」“I’m back~!”
As Kou returned to Lef and Karen and picked up his heavy shi+eld, he was engaged by the fighter and Magician who had charged in under the cover of Varow’s arrows Because Kou was acting as a wall to protect Lef and Karen from the arrows, he could not separate himself from them He faced his opponents with Karen’s backup and Lef’s offensive ic
The fighter and Magician of the Varow group had taken position at a certain distance under the cover of Varow’s arroith the fighter covering the Magician with his enchanted anti-hter looked for an opportunity to charge in, the Magician aiician from behind him
The fronttheir offensive and defensivefire from Varow His influence on the battle was s the battle in a way
Mandel’s precise attacks had a good balance of offensive and defensive ability while Karvan excelled in defense The fight between theetting exhausted
However, the one with a cal the battlefield Even if he were to fall together with Mandel, they would win themore desperate
In the swordfight between Gawiik and Stua, Gaas running around while attacking so that the “Cru Wave Breaker” would not release any shockwaves, slowly pushi+ng Stua back Stua wanted toto block the fierce, high-speed attacks of the “Wind Cutter” so she was unable toWave Breaker”
『--As I thought, he’s a formidable opponent--』(Stua)
『--Don't panic, should I give him a hit?--』(Varow)
『--Please do--』(Stua)
Giving Varow a signal through their coain soround, kicking up a cloud of dust as a smokescreen Gawiik chased her in, but faltered for a moment as he was blinded
At that moment, Varow opened fire
Knowing that Varow’s arroould coained distance on him, Gawiik reacted incredibly quickly to deflect the arroith the ability of the “Wind Cutter”
「That’s a!」
「To think he could strike down all of those arroith that ti」
The crowd erupted in applause at the superhu arrows that were fired fro in and Gawiik continued deflecting theo on the offense
「This guy can really do sos, huh?」(Stua)
While ado around and swing her “Cru Wave Breaker”
「Kuah!」
Gawiik tried to dodge an arrow flying in fro froe to evade it coe from the attack As Stua pressed further with another attack from above, he parried it sideways The explosive sounds of this battle were quite different froht
This tied to evade the attack As Gawiik ain so would happen - a combination attack of arrows and a shockwave
Making a quick decision, Gawiik jumped in the opposite direction fro his way He took cover behind them to avoid the arrows’ line of fire
「You think quickly and your situation assessment is accurate As I would expect of a famous, first-class captain like you, Gawiik」
The one praising hied to dodge their combination attack so well This was a two-on-one situation so Gawiik had no tiave her a fearless smile
The rear ician, wary of the arrows that were constantly flying at thehter would flank the up the shi+eld and
Their only way to attack the ene-distance attacks, but Karen’s arrows and Lef’s ic shi+eld This sporadic exchange of fire was essentially a stalemate
The arrows fired from the other side of thedeflected by Kou’s body Fro fired at an angle They were easily avoid if they looked out for thehter would charge in and they would receive attacks froician
「It’s quite hard to put an end to this, isn’t it?」(Karen)
「Vooh~」“Yeah~”
「 The situation is unfavorable for us」(Lef)
Thein their battle as well If both sides continued si each other with their attacks and they continued to exhaust thee as Varow hied out too long, the Shadow Artist that had been defeated at the opening of the ain consciousness and rejoin the battle If that happened it would be very difficult for them
『Hmm』
Kou tried to think of a way to break out of this situation If he went forward to attack, Lef and Karen would be exposed to danger Because it was just a hter, and then the protection for the Magician would be gone and it would be easy to win after that But such a method would never occur to Kou At that moment, Varow’s arrows stopped
It see a new box of arrows into his mechanical bow
『If only I could use a projectile weapon too… The one I received froet blocked by that shi+eld as well』
As he searched through the tools in his dih his owna certain piece of ar fro he got from the scene in his memories
「Vooh, vaah~」“Lef, Karen, can I get your attention for a bit?”
