Chapter 6 : Behemoth
[Traum is German for Dream]
On both sides of the bridge, a ic circle on the aisle side is close to 10 m The one on the stairs side is around 1 m, but the numbers are numerous
Froic circles ca skeletons, these were called “Trauic circle, it sparkled and shi+ne while they looked around 100 Traum Soldier have already been su
Even though there were so many skeleton Soldiers on this side, the other side’s o haywire Fro with some sort of helmet on its head, spawned from it If compared to any animal Hajime knew of, the closest would be a Triceratops However, it’s eyes shone criathered around the horns on its helmet
Meld just whispered out “Behemoth” At that mo roar
“Gurua~a~a~aaaaa!!”
“Tsu!?”
The roar caused Meld’s senses to return, he quickly started to issue commands to everyone
“Alan! Lead the students to the stair and break through those Trauuys to extend the best barriers you can! Stop it! Kouki, hurry and get to the stairs!”
“Wait a moment, Meld-san! We’ll help! That dinosaur-like erous!? We’ll…”
“Fool! That’s a real Beheth it’s io, the “Strongest” known adventurer battled it and were unable to defeat it Hurry up and go! I can’t let you guys die!”
Even Meld’s expression faltered for auys!” was Kouki’s response as he stood his ground At the moment when Meld tried to reason with Kouki to retreat, the Behee at theet trampled to death
To prevent it, the strongest of Haihiri’s military spawned multiple full powered barriers
“””Repel all Malice and Enmity, Absolute Providence from the Son of God, Herein a Sanctuary, You Shall Not Pass, “Absolute Virtue””””
The hest quality paper 24 phrases to activate it 3 of the Warrior’s casted it si for 1 minute The hemispherical barrier shi+ned pure-white as it stop the Behee
The moment the Behemoth clashed with the barrier, a shockwave erupted froe shook at the shockwave, and everything around the Behe students scream and tumbled at the artificial quake
Traum Soldier were monsters that showed up on the 38th level They were heads above anything they encountered so far The students panicked as they were sandwiched by a monstrous demon in the back and an eerie army of skeletons in the front
They advanced reckless, without giving care to keeping rank, and aimed for the stairs Alan, tried to calm them down desperately, no one listed because of the iirls was pushed froroaned as she lifted her head to see before her a Trau it’s sword
“Ah”
The soldier swung it’s sword doards her
She thought she was going to die at that moment, but suddenly the Trau its balance the trajectory of the blade round instead Furthermore, the upheaval continued like a wave towards the end of the bridge, tripping upthe way This caused some of the Soldiers to fall into the abyss
2e in a crouched position was Haji the ground Like a ground slide, the uided off into the abyss Unaware, his proficiency in transe of his trans also seemed to have increased
While drinking a irl that fell down He helped the girl up Hajiirl with a smile
“Hurry Forward It’s alright, if you cal Because except for me, everyone else is a cheat!”
Hajime pat her on the back with full confidence, the next etic “Thank you”
Haji and had them detained, he took that moment to survey the battlefield Everyone was in such a panic that they were fighting without any thought and looked so sloppy At this rate, it was highly likely that soanize the well More reinforceic circles
“We need a strong leader to guide us, Amanokawa-kun!”
Hajime started to sprint towards Kouki’s party
Behe the barrier A powerful shock-as produced everything it collided with the barrier, the bridge groaned at the pressure There were already cracks in the barrier and it was only a ave Meld had joined in the reinforce a drop into a bucket
“Ah, crap! It won’t hold for o too!”
“No! I will not abandon you guys! We will all survive this!”
“Ku, to be so egotistical at this moment…”
Meld just displayed a sour face at their conversation In such a narrow space, it would be very difficult to avoid the Behemoth’s rush Therefore, the best option was to withdraw because without the barrier they would be trampled Such a subtle perception of the situation could only cohly unlike for Kouki and his party to have such an insight
Meld was urging than to withdraw, but with a heavily summarized explanation on why Kouki did not take his advise and refused to “abandon” thee the Behemoth
It could be attributed to his adolescenthimself, because he had so much praise showered onto him
“Kouki! Listen to what Meld is saying and retreat!”
shi+zuku, who understood the situation, grabbed Kouki’s arm in remonstration
“This is not the first time Kouki is unreasonable! I’ll back you up!”
“Thanks, Ryutaro!”
Ryutaro’s statement just fueled Kouki’s attitude even ue at that
“Don’t get intoxicated with the situation! Bakamono!”
“shi+zuku-chan”
Kaori is worried for the irritated shi+zuku
A boy jumped out in front of Kouki
“Amanokawa-kun”
“Na-Nagumo!?”
“Nagumo-kun!?”
Everyone was surprised by how serious Hajime was
“Hurry and retreat! You have to help everyone!”
“Why so sudden? What are you even doing in a place like this? This is not a place you should be at! Just leave this to us, Nagumo…”
“Is this the situation to say such a thing?”
Hajime showed such unexpected force in his words that Kouki stopped his rebuke Until now, they had never heard Hajime use such a harsh tone He had always presented hi
“Can you not see what is going on? Everyone is in a panic, because their leader is !”
Hajirabbed onto Kouki’s chest In the direction he pointed at, there was his confused class that was drilled into theht willy nilly Since they were so inefficient they were being overwhelh stats were protecting them for now, soon it would not matter
“We need a blow that can break through them! A power to erase the fear in everyone’s hearts! And it’s you who has such a power! Don’t just look in front of you, look at what’s going on behind you too!”
Stunned at seeing his class Kouki nodded his head
“I understand! I’ll go immediately Sorry, Meld-san!
“Go!”
The reement to retreat, the barrier finally fell to the Behe shock-wave caused by the destruction of the barrier, was shooting straight for Hajime and the others Hajime quickly stepped forward and transmuted a wall, but it was easily brushed aside It seemed he had weakened it Dust whirled as the Behemoth bellowed out a roar
On the ground was Meld and three of his knights groaning Their body seee from the shock-wave, they were unable to move Kouki and his party had fallen over, but quickly they recovered Hajime’s wall had been useful for those behind Meld
“Ryutaro, shi+zuku can you buy me some time?”
Though they were in some pain, the two of them pressed forward at Kouki’s request Since Meld had been disabled, it was up to the
“I’ll do what I can!”
“Somehow, I’ll do it!”
Both of them rushed the Behemoth
“Kaori, start healing Meld and his men”
“Okay”
Kaori quickly went to work Hajime was already beside Meld He quickly created a stone wall to prevent the affects of battle fro at the battle, it was better than nothing
Kouki at theto perform his best skill
“Divine will! Perish all evils with your light! The breath of God! Bloay the oive all sins with this strike! “Heaven’s Might”!”
An aurora gushed out from the “Holy Sword” after the chant The skill was si Flash”, but it’s poas on a coe as it shot towards the Beheht After the chant, Ryutaro and shi+zuku had already cleared out However, after fighting the Behemoth they were in a tattered state To suffer such a considerable ae in such a short time
The boht filled the area where the spell had ie, and cracks spawned all over it
“If it’s this…Ha-a Ha-a”
“Did that do it?”
“I hope so”
Ryutaro and shi+zuku returned to Kouki’s side Kouki breathed heavily after using such an enoric That skill earlier, was his truic was used to fuel it Kaori had finished treating the fallen Soldiers and Meld was actively trying to stand up
When the light and dust settled down…
There it was, an unscathed Behemoth
The beast sent a death glare at Kouki and growled It raised its head, there was a high pitch then it’s horns started to glow red hot Magma, that word described perfectly what the Behemoth’s helmet looked like
“Don’t just stand there! Move!”
Meld’s voice helped the theain their senses and they started to move The Behemoth soon rushed the meteorite the Behemoth fell helmet first towards Kouki
Even if they were able to avoid it by ju aside, the shock-wave caused by the i, they had wounds all over their bodies Meld, who finally regained histreated by Kaori Bracing itself, the Behemoth worked to pull out his stuck head
“Can you guys move?”
