Chapter 169 (1/2)
I threw an iron ball.
In the distance, an explosion was heard and a cloud of dust spread all over the area.
”I feel pathetic having to fight like this...”
An object like this thrown by someone who is over level 3000 allows it to reach unimaginable speed with even the slightest toss, causing it to pierce the ground and send the surrounding troops flying.
Is this a cowardly tactic on my part?
Well, maybe so... But there are only three of us against 3,000 of them. I think that's fair enough. I'd like to fight them one on one, but it's impossible even for me.
”The enemy is on the move.”
”They seem to have realized that we're at a disadvantage in numbers.”
”Whoaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Rudra's army began to run furiously. So much so that they didn't even bother to hold their formation, and came at us wildly.
”Magic fairy ball! Hyaaaaaa!”
One of the iron balls thrown by Frau hits the enemy troops.
Huh... So there's a higher chance of hitting my target if I use techniques?
”Toru's super special straight shot!”
The moment I threw the ball with all my might, it disintegrated in the air as soon as I let it loose.
Uh, really?
This material is so poor that it couldn't withstand something as strong as that. So I threw another one again with limited effort.
”Haaaaaaaaa!”
There was a man shouting as he ran in our direction while dodging the balls, at the same time he had tears in his eyes.
It was a truly interesting sight.
”Who is he?”
”He seems to be the general named Chiba.”
Chiba is a dark-haired man of medium height.
Moreover, he's a human.
His weapon is a curved sword. A katana, I think.
I remember it because it's a type of weapon used back home, on the other side of the island. It's sharp, but it is difficult to use, so there were few people who could use it. But if you do know how to use it, then it can be a very powerful weapon.
I'm about to run out of ammunition....
I think it's enough with long range attacks.
”Kaede.”
”Yes! Twin Tornado! Ice Age!”
The two iron fans unfurled and Kaede unleashed wind and ice magic. The extremely cold tornado that was generated froze the enemies as they soared through the air.
Chiba, who was still running towards us, gnashed his teeth.
That guy is quite persistent.
Kaede was continuously unleashing 'Twin Tornado' and 'Ice Age' attacks. The battlefield turned into a hellish landscape.
Countless tornadoes mercilessly attacked the demon army. Even so, hundreds of soldiers being led by Chiba pass through the middle. To be honest, I'm impressed. Despite being the enemy, I'm sure he's a great guy.
”Fairy Flash!”
”Gyaaaaaaaaaaa, my eyes! What is this!”
Frau's violent flash of light hits the enemy. Chiba and the others, whose vision has been impaired, run in the opposite direction and run into each other.
But only Chiba was heading straight toward us. Although his eyes were closed since he couldn't see anything.
Well done, my enemy! As a warrior, you thrill me!
”At last we're face to face! Now let's have a proper fight!”
When Chiba reached me, he raised his katana with a tearful face. Maybe it's because he's blind, but he's not looking at me, but at Kaede.
”I...”
”No, I'll handle this, you guys continue to get rid of the rest. Chupi, keep giving Rosuke instructions and get rid of the Wyvern troops.”
”I understand.”
”Sha!”
”Chupi!”
I unsheathed the large sword on my back.
”I am Toru, leader of the Manyu Brigade.”
”My name is Chiba, one of the three demon generals. I have heard of your brave deeds. I am truly impressed with your spirit of defiance towards my Lord despite being only three people, but I'm afraid the fun stops here.”
He glared at me and said, ”I shall be your opponent. Please tell the other two to stand back.”
Um...Should I tell him that Kaede and Frau are already busy beating the crap out of his comrades behind him?
”Don't you think it would be better for you to wait until you regain your vision?”
”Fuhahaha, I don't need to worry about that. I can read your moves even if I can't see them. I commend your desire for this fight to be on equal footing .”
