152 Episode 152 "The Beginning of a Trip for Three Girls and the Activation of" High Level Cheat Skills "".txt (2/2)

Letitia began to drive down the street with Cutlass.

──────────────────── ...

The adventurers fighting on the streets were struggling.

Even though it was a sudden encounter, seven or so goblins should have been able to fight normally. But the enemy was a higher-ranking goblin species, the Goblin Lord.

''Guihihi...... Google.''

The 'Goblin Lord' wore a horned helmet and commanded seven goblins.

The goblins deployed on the streets and easily surrounded the adventurers.

The Goblin Lords are a higher-ranked species after the Goblins and Master Goblins, and their presence alone is said to raise the status of other goblins.

The goblins led by the Goblin Lords attacked the adventurers a few minutes ago. I hadn't been caught off guard, but I hadn't anticipated the presence of the 'Goblin Lord'.

''Why is 'Goblin Lord' here ......?''

Things aren't getting any weirder these days!

The adventurers, surrounded by goblins on the street, screamed through their teeth.

They were on their way back to town after finishing their quest.

They had heard all sorts of information from the merchants at work. An outbreak of the undead. The appearance of Hydra in the recreation area. A few days ago, a gargoyle had appeared in the port city of Irgafa.

And now the current attack on the 'Goblin Lord'.

I wonder if that rumor is related, after all: ......

”Giggling!

They're coming!　Circle around the wizard!　Hold on until help arrives!

The adventurer's party is six people, four in the vanguard and two in the rear.

There are eight goblins against them, including the Lord. However, you need three of your own to fight against the Lord. They move fast. For every attack we make, they will attack twice as often.

I'm sure you'll be able to win if all of your vanguards can hit the Lord, but if you don't kill all of the small fry goblins before then...

''Please ...... someone stay close. We only need a few people, rescue!

They're here. Hello.

Suddenly, I heard a voice.

Those who were available looked in that direction. All of them except the rear guard who finished striking magic, the goblins who were trying to surround us, and those who were concentrating on the battle. Unintentionally - while lightly bowing their heads.

The one who was there was a blue-haired girl with a sword and shield in her hand.

''Tei.''

She jumps into the combat area and slams her shield on the goblins.

Then the goblin's body goes rigid and...

Round and round and round and round and round and round and round....

The goblins around it are rolled up and it begins to spin like a frame.

For a moment, the adventurers and the goblins stop moving. And while they're there...

Activate the... skill.

With a high-pitched proclamation, a silver light rushed through the crowd of goblins.

''Ggaa!'' ”Gisha”, ”gboaaa”, ”ggaaaa”! ”...... gogo

A scream went up and the goblins rolled to the ground.

Another girl, who had jumped into the battle area, had cut down five goblins.

Standing in the center of the fallen goblins is a gray-haired girl. On her chest is a sooty breastplate. In her hand is a shortsword. She is small and does not appear to be skilled. What in the world...

I mean, that's way too much!

I'm sorry, sir!

The gray-haired girl shouts back at the words of the blue-haired, aristocratic-looking girl.

''Even I am surprised. I never thought that 'skills that don't drop in level even if you rewrite them' could be as good as .......

The girl looked around at the fallen goblins as if she was seeing something unbelievable.

Then, as if in a hurry, she shifted her gaze to the adventurers──.

'A coincidence, sir!　Well, timing is a terrible thing!　It just so happens that all of the Randa skills hit the target!

...... 'randomly hitting'?

One of the adventurers murmured.

Ranchu” is a skill that uses the sword to slash at random. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing. There is no way you can neutralize a goblin in an instant like this. ......

I'm sure you've all been there. It's not our problem. All of us will defeat the rest of the goblins and the 'Goblin Lord'!

'He's right!　Join us, everyone, Se-no!

「「「「 Oh, oh my! 」」」」

The adventurers take their swords.

'Gee?　Na, nande ee!'

The tables are turned. The Goblin Lord screams.

The rest of the goblins are easily defeated...

The 'Goblin Lord', surrounded by a group of people, also dared to lose its life.

──────────────────── ...

”...... It's 'Kakusei Randa' LV5, given to me by Arujidono. ......

Cutlass breathed heavily as he grabbed his sword.

The skill had been activated for, at most, a dozen seconds.

But to Cutlass, it felt as if it had been stretched out dozens of times.

'Boku and Fynn, we're both one skill, aren't we, this is ......'

”Well, you'd have to be ...... us (・・・・・・) to master it.

A voice from inside Cutlass's head came from 'The Other Self (Fynn)'.

''You're very good at choosing us to be the users of this skill, aren't you?

Absolutely, sir.

”I'm surprised that you know so much about Cutlass.

That's not a very nice thing to say!　Fynn.

While retorting, Cutlass was remembering what happened ten minutes ago...

Shortly before Letitia and Cutlass went into battle...

'I will distract you all. In the meantime, Mr. Cutlass will deal some damage to the enemy at ......, right?

It is all right.

Cutlass nodded as they drove down the street.

'Because the new skills that Arujidono gave me are for one person to deal with many.

You shouldn't be pushing yourself, you know?

'I don't have to defeat all my enemies, do I?　Those adventurers who are being attacked are still able to fight, sir. All I have to do is to reduce the enemy's numbers or take away their ability to fight.

As he said it, Cutlass checked the skills he had in him.

(The new skill Arujidono gave him should be able to do that.)

Until the day before yesterday, what was there was an ordinary 'Ranta'.

'Ranchu' LV5

The skill to slash at random with the sword.

A multi-level attack skill for beginners.

You can increase the number of times you swing your sword. However, the hit rate is reduced by that amount.

The attack frequency is level - (minus) 1.

Nagi reworked this into the '4 Concept Cheat Skill'.

The material was the ”Meditation” LV1. This is a skill that the Iturna Order gives to new members and is fairly cheap. It's also available on the market, making it a good tool for experimentation.

Meditation Lv 1

The skill to ”notice” the ”five senses” in ”silence

Nagi took only 'notice' from this skill and made a '4 Concept Cheat Skill'. Because I used the 'Concept Extraction (Skill Stocker)', my level will not decrease ...... even if I rebuild it, but Cutlass, who was in the middle of 'rebuilding', had no time to listen to the explanation.

'I sounded quite embarrassed ...... while I was building it, but ......

I turn bright red when I think about it.

I endured it because I thought it would help Arujidono, but every time she tinkered with my skills, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to being a 'girl'. I'm happy about that, but it's also very embarrassing.

Anyway, the new skill I was able to acquire was...

Kakusei Randa, LV5 (USR + ”Ultra Super Rare Plus”)

(4 Concept Cheat Skills. (Extraction Concept Applied)

The skill of 'realizing' and 'cutting' at 'random' with the 'sword'

Cheat multi-level attack skill.

Using the sword as a sensor, you can attack while keeping track of your surroundings.

The enemy's movement, the feel of the ground, the flow of air - you can 'notice' all the information that surrounds you.

Increased accuracy. Increase the critical rate. The number of attacks increases for each level.

Due to certain reasons, the duration and number of attacks are limited.

The strategy is as follows.

First, Leticia invokes a light ”Forced Etiquette (Manners Gear)” to distract the enemy - the adventurers who aren't participating in the battle.

After that, Cutlass activates his skill and slashes into them──that was the plan.

The strategy worked. Cutlass activated the skill and entered the battle area, but...

Activate.　'Kakusei Randa', LV5!

worldly wisdom

────

The moment he used the skill, a large amount of information flowed into Cutlass.

The shapes of the adventurers fighting, the positions and sounds of swords striking each other.

The number of demons. Positions. The movements. The direction of the eyeballs. Even the sound of an arm slicing through the wind.

And then there's the hardness of the ground and the number of grasses growing on it. Most of the peripheral information...

”Arujiddo is right about ......, as you've warned me about... ......

What flowed in was a massive amount of information, more than I could have imagined.

'......, but Arujidono told me, 'Cutlass can use this skill!

Cutlass shouted, almost overwhelmed by the information.

There was no way Cutlass's 'Arujidono' would give him a faulty skill.

Why Nagi had created this skill - it was because Cutlass had a companion who was 'in charge of information processing'.

'I want you to wake up, Fynn!　The 'information firutingo'!

He's been awake for hours. I'll take care of it!　Cutlass!

From deep in his chest, he heard Fynn's voice.

At the same time, Cutlass's head felt soooooo light.

The other self inside Cutlass came between him and the information brought by the 'Awakening Rampant'.

All along, Fynn has been hiding the information that 'I am a girl' from Cutlass. He has been filtering the information until now.

So we can do the same thing. You just need to select only the information that is necessary for the battle from the information that ”Awakening Ranchu” is pouring in and pass it on to Cutlass. That's all there is to it.

I'm you. I know what information you need. I'll send you information on the enemy. 'Cutlass.'

Thank you, sir. Fynn.

Cutlass knows everything.

The information needed for combat. The details of your enemy's movements. Even the future movements of his allies.

It was as if he was predicting the future.

Right now, Letitia's 'Forced Civility (Manner Gears)' has just been activated. Cutlass knows what's going on on the street. The adventurers feel that they are surrounded by goblins (...).

The demons are commanding the 'Goblin Lord'. He is a goblin lord wearing a tattered helmet with horns.

I'll leave him alone for now. That's what we've been able to determine from the information flowing in. The sooner we kill all the Zaco Goblins, the better. I'm not sure if that's possible for the current Cutlass.

”...──Gi

The goblin in time opens its mouth. Before it can raise its voice, Cutlass' sword slices through its arm.

Cutlass's movements aren't particularly fast.

Just not a single one of them is lean. Not a single one. It's optimized.

'──── tii!'

The cut end of the shortsword slices through the back of the goblin's elbow. It cuts through a thick blood vessel.

It's as if time has stopped.

With an optimized movement, Cutlass heads for his next enemy. Fynn analyzes the information. He gives him a prediction of the enemy's actions. Cutlass follows his prediction and slashes at the enemy's heel. Next, his wrist. Arms.

The Zakogoblin's movements are completely captured by Fynn through ”Awakening Rampant Strike LV5”. As long as Cutlass doesn't stop the flow of movement. He takes away the goblins' fighting power. Cut off their limbs. Slash them.

(You were able to make a series of attacks for a level, right?)

Furthermore, even the density of the spirit has increased.

What's missing is Cutlass' own, physical abilities.

Slightly off the ideal course of movement. It's not my best move. Cutlass thinks - maybe this is something I still need to practice. With Rita-sama's guidance, could the critical rate increase a bit more .......

''Teya!''

Still, four of the five attacks were critical, just as they were intended.

Furthermore, before the opponent could respond, Cutlass began a series of attacks again.

''Giyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!''

The goblins' screams went up.

And Cutlass and Fynn's joint attack, the Combination Attack, neutralized five goblins in a few tens of seconds.

──────────────────── ...

”...... You're overdoing it, ...... Mr. Cutlass.

Letitia, who came next to me, murmured in dismay.

'I'm sorry ...... I didn't expect to be as ...... as I am too.

'It's horrible. A high level of 'Chii and Sukiru' is ......

So, there is: ............ wow.

Cutlass held his mouth.

The weakness of 'Awakening Rampant Strike LV5' is that it drains your energy. Also, it makes you sleepy.

It's because it processes a lot of information. Cutlass and Fynn, the two personalities are working at full capacity, so the brain is quite tired. The reason we use the carriage is so that Cutlass can take a nap when the need arises. ......

''Before that, as a former candidate for knighthood, I must take care of the injured, right?

''I can't believe you can do this! ''Don't forget the 'Heavenly dragon blessing'.

Cutlass and Letitia nodded to each other and approached the wounded adventurers.

Their wounds were nothing serious. It's because the rescue was so quick. But they all have blue faces. It seems that they are not afraid of Letitia and Cutlass' skills - it's not like they are afraid of them. They all have their foreheads together and have started gossiping.

''...... A demon in a place like this, after all, was the rumor true ......?

'The demons are being displaced because of a dispute between tribes of forest-dwelling sub-humans. ......

The impact of that goes so far: ......

As they were talking, they noticed Leticia and Cutlass and bowed their heads.

For now, Letitia and Cutlass started 'Thanks to the Heavenly Dragon, Manual Talk'. After pushing aside the adventurers' doubts in a reasonable manner, they began to hear the rumors (rumors) they were talking about.

According to that...

Is it the ...... struggle of the sub-human (demi-humans) tribe?

Speaking of sub-humans in the forest...

The image of the gentle blonde fellow comes to Cutlass's mind. I think I've heard that she and the same sub-human tribe live in the forest, moving around: .......

It may not be relevant, but it's probably best to tell them, just in case.

After the adventurers were treated, Cutlass and Leticia decided to wait for Aine's carriage to catch up with them.
