Chapter 129 (2/2)

Straining my eyes, I keep a watch on what’s in front of me

A point like a bean, becaer as I watched

――Fast!

That’s a……Chimera is it!

I happened to see it together with shi+on-san when undertaking a guild mission earlier

There’s a sense of unease even when ignoring that it’s a monster, a monstrosity that has a body that’s fundamentally『impossible』for a lifeform

But, that is……an appearance that pulls on so somewhere

――A er’s li bat wings

「……Nue」

It fits into the legends from that world――is that a coincidence?

There are tooelements

……No, what’s ht now is!

「Come!」

Thethe flame’s illumination that shi+nes from the west, appeared before us

It gazed this ith its monkey face and, an eerie bird’s――a scaly thrush’s――voice threatened us

Frankly it causesvoice which doesn’t suit its large frame

「……Kuu, Thunder!」

My body moved an instant later

Pree is, taken in by the nue’s body

「It was absorbed!?」

On that note, wasn’t there a theory like nue are lightning beasts!?

「Kueeーーーー」

「――!」

A flash surged

flash surged fro voice that made dread run down my back

It’s instinct at this point

My body didn’t move

Even so Icicle Garden is released, as if it was a conditioned reflex――I barely blocked the nue’s counterattack

「Nn, if it’s this distance」

Aim released an arrow aie

The snake tail bites that apart froe

「Monstrosity……!」

Being before the eyes of an abnorives an aberrant sensation that’s truly as the words imply

An existence separate from nature

A clearly taboo deed

What did this is science――alchemy……Libra

「……I won’t lose! Aim, you’re on the other enemies! I will be this one’s opponent!」

「Master, how?」

The fact of the sort that it didn’t accept Aie that physical attacks harree

「There is, a way to do it!」

At any tiht!

I’ll show it be done

Ai distance from the nue

It’s fine with that

「――Lightning Field!」

This side also deployed a barrier and, is grasping the opponent’s approach

The speed of its tail that I saw just now is a threat, I suppose it’s over if I’m bitten

Confront it without letting

――Its tail flew at ht that

It was aled

「――tsu」

This is……on the right――I ed to avoid it!

I noticed when I was already within the nue tiger lie

Having noticed that intent just one step in advance, I ju to escape

However――

「Kueeeeee」

「～～～!?」

It’s like my body is paralyzed and I can’t move!

This crying voice……!

What a troublesome!

The tiger’s arm faced me as I couldn’t move and leaped at me

Looking at those sharp claws, so like my body would be skewered and then some

I can’t avoid it――as such!

――Ascertain its axis

Ascertaining its axis ofwith lightning

The signal called『

And since this is within my field

Grasping everydoith the opponent’s high speed as if to guide it and――shi+ft

「――!」

It seemed like the nue’s surprise was conveyed to me for once

With its attack『nullified』, I overcaer

And so thatinto a counterattack

The location I’m currently in is the opponent’s space!

「――Lightning・Impact!」

The iic is, struck into the nue’s stomach

――There is, resistance!

I bleay the nue’s massive body

As we’d been fighting on a rooftop, it’s being thrown off the building and into the ground headfirst

Following that――A thunderous noise

I didn’t think I’d brought it down but, it was hurt

I won’t let this escape!

The current me doesn’t intend to be so sweet as to, overlook the point when its movements have stopped anymore

Descending not a hair’s breadth later, on the lips of the nue that still hasn’t stood up is――shi+t!

The snake tail came at me to interfere, at the point where I

point where I was going to deliver the finishi+ng blow

Does it think independently?

Troublesome isn’t it

Changing oes by

It righted its posture as a result……Landing a ways off on the ground, I wait to confront it as it to gets up without wanting to wait

The effect of directat zero distance is difficult

While dealing with the snake tail as well, guarding against the paralyzing voice……

No there isn’t uard

If I think the end is what’s corind my teeth I can endure for 1 second――!

Let ic you know, perfect!

「I’, nue」

This side ca even that Yamata no Orochi

I step in at hest speed

As expected, the snake tail ca up with my speed

Receiving it or diverting it is now unsuitable with it swerving like this

As such――

「Just cut!」

One flash froht hand

The snake tail is beautifully sent flying in shreds

Special technique――Lightning・Blade

Hardenin the shape of a sword froe it into a physical blade

For the aic is continuously released, the expenditure is rather intense and on top of that, controlling it is difficult

As such I’ll have this resolved quickly

「Kueeeeee!」

「～～～Go, with, guts!!」

At the point where its crying voice froze my body, this side also mustered my voice with my full power

Blowinghtly～!

As such, the ・Blade thrust out――I grasped victory

The battered body crumbled like the chimera I saw at some point and, left the blackened stone that should be called its core once again

「……Strong, isn’t it I’ with a lot, with this sort of thing mixed in」

When I took one breath, I heard a voice calling out to me from Aim

「Aim, it’s safe here! How is the battle situation!?」

I ju my voice,

It seems that Aim has already used up all her arrows but, more importantly I suppose it’s not the case that she wants to report that sort of thing given her surprised face

「What is it, Aim? Have the enemies in the sky decreased?」

With a face like she’d made her resolve, Aim slowly turned her hand toward the western sky

「I think the conventional aerial troops have, decreased significantly」

「Is that so」

Frorave atmosphere, I ary of the fact that there was more to come

「But――over 100, chimeras that seem the same as the one just now……came」

The size of those words, snared the heart of me who had just won a fierce battle in a murky black

「100……of those?」

As if to further deny me Aim, widely, slowly shook her head

「――At the least, over 100」
