Arifureta Vol 1 Chapter 6 (2/2)
All he got in response were groans They were probably paralyzed again by the shock-wave caused by the falling Behenificant
Meld called out to Kaori When he was looking for Kaori, Meld’s sight caught hold of Hajime
“Bozu! Take Kaori, Carry Kouki and retreat!”
For Meld who directed such instructions to Hajime, He would only be able to carry Kouki That instruction indicated that, no one else would be able to escape Meld clenched his teeth and prepared his shi+eld He had chosen to risk his life in this dangerous situation to hold back the beast
At such a desperate estion This method may be the only way that everyone would be saved However, the chance of it succeeding was very low Hajierous position
Meld hesitated, but the Behemoth was already combat ready It’s helmet started to sizzle red hot They had no time
“Are you going to do it?”
“I’ll do it!”
Meld could easily see the resolute gaze Haji
“I can’t believe that I’ll entrust it up to you, I’ll surely save you Leave it to you!”
“Hai!”
Meld headed towards the Beheic to provoke it The Behe anyone as attacking hiazed at each other
When the heled then leapt Meld stood there poised, intending to provoke it till the last moment At that moment, a small incantation could be heard
“Blow “Wind Wall”!”
He back stepped at the same time as he chanted Like a comet, the Behemoth landed at the area where Meld was previously stationed at The “Wind Wall” was able to deflect the shock-wave and debris from the impact Since it was just a simple attack, he was able to avoid it He would have been totally annihilated if he was protecting Kouki
Again, the Behemoth’s head was stuck after the attack Haji heat burns Hajime He endured the pain and he started to chant It couldn’t really be considered a chant because he just called out the spell’s name
“Transmute”
The Behemoth’s movement to extract it’s head fro stone buried its head No matter how much stone it destroyed to free itself, Hajis, the Behe to forcefully free itself, but Hajime transmuted around the foot this time He constantly harden and transmuted the stone and finally he sunk the beast 1that if he let up for just a moment, cracks would from in the formation and it would try to slip out In order to prevent this Haji He observed the Beheround For anyone else it would have looked very silly
In the athered and carried Kouki’s party back On the side with the Trauained some of their composure and started to cooperate with each other The reason for the recovery was because of the girl Hajime saved earlier A simple contribution from Hajime
“Wait! There is still Nagumo-kun”
Kaori protested to Meld ithdrawing
“This is his plan! We are going to clear the Soldiers and make a safety zone for ourselves, and then ill boic! Of course, ill allow hie holds that beast in place, then we can retreat to the upper level”
“Then, I’ll stay and help him!”
“Not possible! Your healing is needed to back up Kouki as we retreat!”
“But!”
Meld shouted at the protesting Kaori
“Don’t let his effort be in vain!”
“Tsu!?”
Including Meld, the other one with the highest poithout a doubt Kouki If she did not use her healing ic effectively, they may eventually lack the power to stop the Behemoth That is why it is necessary for her to join the retreating group They did not have to time to stop and heal with other slower h Hajime will run out of mana to trap the Behemoth
“Breath of Heaven, Fill to the bri”!”
Even if she had a face like she wanted to cry, she continued with her incantation A pale light engulfed Kouki The restorative property of her ic healed his body of injuries at the same time it enveloped him Meld placed a hand on Kaori’s shoulder and nodded, and she nodded back Again, Kaori turned around to look at the scene of Hajiainst the Behemoth All of them started to retreat after that
The nu Currently, they numbered around 200 They all filled up the stair side of the bridge But in a sense it ap was present, the students would try to push through, but their lack of experience would lead theood nu trouble with the 100 earlier
Lucky, there had not been a single death, it was thanks to the earnest knights who protected theeration to say that they were desperately covering the students’ lives The expense came in the form of all the wounds they had acquired
If they lost the knights’ support, for the increasing nuic that caused the increasing monsters, they would fall apart in minutes
Despair struck the students who realized it The group that cooperated with the girl that Hajiht bravely their face conveyed that they were at their liht it was finished…
“Soaring Flash!+”
A pure-white slash exploded right through the ranks of Traue was blown into the abyss After the slash thought, the reap that was created by the skill They surely saw the stair that led to the upper level though The wished to see it but it had been covered by the sea of swords
“Everyone! Don’t give up, I’ll open up a path!”
He spewed those lines as the “Soaring Flash” tore through the eneized at the charisma Kouki displayed
“What have you guys been doing this whole ti with each other! Fools!”
The leader everyone relied on released a skill that was not inferior to “Soaring Flash” at the ene returned to his voice His body filled with power and his ic to calic but combined with Kouki’s performance it was super effective
Anyone with an aptitude for healing started to heal everyone The people with high aptitude for uard, they started their chants The vanguard formed a fir the rear guard
The knights who recovered also join thenal for their counter-attack came The cheat class started to perforic, they descended down on their ene wave Monsters fell so quickly that they had finally passed the spawning rate of the ic circle
Soon, the path to the stairs were opened
“Everyone advance! We need to secure the stairs!”
Kouki started to run as soon as he shouted The recovered shi+zuku and Ryutaro acco Trauh butter Finally, they broke through the besiegeap fro filled by the Soldiers
The classmates looked doubtful It will be like that In front of theet to safety quickly
“Wait everyone! We still have to save Nagu that demon!”
Kaori’s class faced her with a very doubtful expression They all thought it was iht he was useless When the perplexed classe, Hajime was really there
“What is he doing?”
“That demon is buried!”
Meld answered the questions the students had
“It’s true! It was because of hiuard don’t let any soldier near us! Rear guard prepare your long range ic, ill have him retreat while we bombard the Behemoth!”
The students braced themselves when that voice resounded with them There were people who looked at in the direction of the stairs in regret No wonder, they just had a near death experience They naturally wanted to get to safety as fast as possible However, when Meld angrily shouted out to hurry up, they returned to the battlefield
In there was Hiyahly of himself, he was really scared, he wanted to run as fast as possible away
At that moment, the scene from that day flashed in hisin Horlad He was so overcome by anxiety of the next day that he couldn’t sleep properly and went out to get some air then headed for the toilet The cool breeze relaxed hi Along the way, he had seen Kaori in her negligee This was the first time he had seen her in such a state and he instinctively hid and held his breath at such a sight Kaori passed by without noticing him
Daisuke was interested and followed her, until she stopped in front of a certain room and knocked The one to answer the door was…Hajime Hiyaht that he was not good enough for her When co hiue, so he gave up
Hajiht Hajime was inferior to him So to find Hajiht that if this was the case, on’t he do? Daisuke heard every word in his head, is his head alright? Hiyaainst Haji up, now this had swelled into hatred When he saw Kaori get mesmerized by the Grantz Crystal, he was probably driven by these feelings
Hiya the Behe worried for Haji for him…a dark smile bloomed on Daisuke’s face
Haji out, and he had ran out of any potions He quickly surveyed his surrounding and noticed that everyone had retreated Ranks were being for prepared for the last part of the plan
Behe, at this rate there were still a few seconds of inter In the et some distance A drop of sweat entered his eye Hajime had never been in such a situation that caused his heart to thu to be important here
Dozens of cracks formed in the restraints that held the Behe to hold it back At the same moment, Hajime started to sprint
5 seconds after Hajime started to run away, the Behee present in its eyes could never be misunderstood Quickly it’s vision searched for its sworn eneain , and collected power into its legs to chase after Hajime
However, a barrage of ic attacks stopped it
Like shooting stars painting the night sky, ic of countless colors boe, but the force prevented it fro
Haji care not to fall With all those lethal spells passing over his head, Hajime was not afraid for his life There was no way those cheats would be able to miss The distance between the Behemoth and him was also 30m
Hajime relaxed at that
However, so happened that cause him to freeze
One of the “Fireball” in the endless streahtly and started to head his way This was clearly aimed at him
(Why!?)
Doubt and bewilderh his brain and it appalled him
Hajiround right in front of his eyes He was blown back the way he cae was taken because he was able to avoid a direct hit, but his sense of balance was thrown out of whack Seeed
Standing up was a little hard because he was dizzy The Beheot up, the beast roared again Haji eyes it had For the third tied towards Hajime
The unsteady head, hazy vision, loo Behemoth, impatience screams and roars from his classmates in the distance
Hajith to jue, it shocked froth of the Behee screamed
Finally, after all that punishe collapsed
The bridge had finally reached the threshold and gave out
“Guaaa!”
Behemoth clawed desperately to find a place to hold on to However even the ground that connected the bridge collapsed and fell into the abyss Death throes could be heard from the Behemoth
Hajime crawled to escape somehoever every place he held onto collapsed
“Ah, it’s no good…”
While he thought that, he turned his gaze towards his class Kaori back, like she wanted to jump after him His other classmates were pale and had their hands over their eyes orexpression on their faces
The scaffolding that held Hajime finally crumbled He fell backwards into the dark abyss, while he tried to grasp the diht
