3 [02] Overrun drama.txt (1/2)
Leave the berries behind. If you do, you'll be alive.
The young man made an overly arrogant proposal.
''Oh, come on, you can't be serious, can you? This is something we risked our lives for, you know. There's no way I'm going to give it to you just because you ask me to.
'Yes! And who do you think you are to let them live? You're one, but there are four of us here!
At that too arrogant suggestion, Tumor and Seine reflexively returned the suggestion.
'The two of you are right. We have no right to comply with your demands.''
I don't mind giving it away if you're willing to pay the price, but I can't give it away for free, can I? We have our own life to live.
Compared to the two of them, Kama and Taysis seemed somewhat calm, but their expressions were firm and it was easy to see that they were speaking with less discomfort towards the young man.
''Is that actually more important to you guys than your own lives?''
The young man with his arms crossed nodded his head as he looked at the four of them with a curious face.
With those words, the four of them lost their patience.
''Kama, Taysis. What this kid is doing is banditry. Even if we have to kill him, it won't work against us.
You were warned. If you hate me, hate yourself for not judging the situation properly.
We don't want to give away the results of the war. Unfortunately, we're going to have to.
''I'll take care not to kill you as much as possible. Of course, after that, I'll hand you over to the guild as a bandit.
The four of them quickly form up in a quick formation.
Carma sets up a shield at the front, Seine and Taysis in the rear.
Tumaa hides in a gap in the trees to make it easier to snipe.
Looking at the four people taking up a battle stance, the young man let out a deep sigh.
''Huh.... I gave you a choice (chance), right?''
The young man stands with his arms untied and lightly bent in his natural body.
Suddenly, a shimmering crimson light envelops the young man's body.
O red soul bearer...
His voice echoes around him, even though it is in the open.
I, the Seeker, Thou art (from the earth)...
Tch! Summoning! Everyone, strike while the chanting is still going on!
Kama closes the distance at once to prevent the young man from chanting.
”We're going into chanting, too! I'm going to give you a huge bite!
Okay! Let me deal with his interference! !
Return the enemy to dust.
'Looks like we ran out of time! !
Tumer's quick arrow and a blow that slices through even the rocks of Kama's approaching at once, a go-bang zan catches the young man...
”What?
He was unable to ━━, and it penetrated the young man's body.
''Advent .
The chanting of the young man, who only slightly warped his body, ducked from the two attacks, was completed.
The crimson light that enveloped the young man changed into a blazing fire, which formed a human mold.
The one revealed is a girl with a scarlet body, crimson hair and eyes, and beautiful yet sharp wings.
”Se-, spirit...!
Everybody get back! !
The three of them are surprised that it was a spirit that was summoned, but they quickly jump back in response to Seine's voice.
''It may not be very effective against that spirit, but what about the surgeon (anta)?''
Death Inferno, the highest level of flame magic in which Seine excels.
It is a magic that radiates hot flames that melt even steel in a wide area in front of the wielder.
It has the drawback that it takes some time to chant, but its simplicity makes it highly powerful, and it's extremely difficult to deal with and avoid after the chanting is complete.
The flames of hell envelop the young man and the spirit girl.
''Hmph. That wasn't much for you to come out and pick a fight with me.
Seine. You told me not to kill you if I could.
No, he can easily avoid me and Tumor's attacks. If you don't go in there with the intention of killing them, they would have killed us. Seinu is not wrong.
Yeah. Well, we don't want any more trouble. We're gonna get out of this mess.
Seinu's expression, sniffing with pride, but no, everyone's expression, confident of victory, froze.
This is because the flames, which had been burning in the surrounding trees, and which had been burning at a rate that could cause a forest fire, began to converge to a single point.
The infernal flames were extinguished in a few moments, and at the center of the flames were an unharmed young man and a spirit girl.
The girl alighted quietly and, looking at the four of them, asked the young man, ''What happened to the trees and flowers?
The trees and flowers have been burned. There's no reason to hesitate, right?''
I could see the hatred in his gaze for those who destroyed the nature of the forest.
'It spoke...? And disabling the highest level of fire magic... higher level? No, the highest spirit?
'So what's the problem? Humans. They tried to destroy our habitat and take the lives of our families. Don't think you'll get out of here alive.'
The heavy pressure (pressure) emanating from the spirit girl far exceeds the heavy pressure (it) of the Jewel Tree.
''Kudos! I can't do this one! Teisys, transference stone! Everybody get out of here now!
Kama, who sensed the overwhelming difference in strength, instructs the girl of the spirit to retreat while retreating inch by inch, relative to the girl of the spirit.
Theumar and Seinu, who would normally act as scouts, also take up positions to protect Tesis with the transference stone.
The transference stone is an item that flows magic power and instantly transfers to a registered point.
The price is so high that even the A-ranked parties are hesitant to buy it, in proportion to its convenience.
(It was a good decision to go out of your way to buy it. That spirit is not someone we can compete with. We have to report this to the guild as soon as we return.)
'Yes, sir! Gather around, please! Turn over...
Teisys pulls the transference stone out of its storage space and begins to glow...
I'm not going to let you get away with this.
''What...?''
