Chapter 298 (2/2)
“Gii!”
The immense pressure that Fran euard, the only part of the army that had eyes on her, took a step back in fear, only to be pushed back towards her by the poor, unknowing saps that stood at the rear
Most of the hly fit into four categories: evil beings, beasts, scalies, and undeadThe evil beings, that is, the orcs and goblins, weren't nearly as well equipped as the ones that had attacked Schwartzekatze just a few days priorTheir appearances were much more typical of their species' nors and wooden clubsWait, are all the weak monsters up front so they can act as ? I really hope notThat would ood head on his shoulders, and I sure as hell don't want to have to deal with any crazy tactics
“Haaah!” Fran dived right into their ranks and began cutting down every goblin and wolf that she neared
Her actions were precise and efficientShe instantly judged the strength of the foes around her before re for their cores and ser ones' headsTruth be told, we didn't actually need to go after any monster cores whatsoever, but there wasn't any need not to, and as Fran only went after them in the case that they wouldn't dull her efficiency, I had no qualms with her methodsIt's not like any of theseanywayYeah, this'll workIf we stack enough corpses together, we h to slon the rest of the ar
“Take this! Blast Flame! Gale Hazard! Thunder Web! Blast Flay inas many corpses as possibleAll the spells I launched were of the sae areas of effect, but they eakI bolstered their power a good bit by puttingI could do about the spells' naturesEach cast was about strong enough to kill a goblin, leave an orc half dead, and take off about a fifth of an ogre's max health
All the monsters that we used the spells on eak, but they had to be eradicated nonethelessThey were sure to attack any evacuating villagers they happened to co the swar its strongest meical daeBut those that resisted my attacks were torn to pieces the moment they approached either Fran or Urushi+
Urushi+'s pri the lines of a shortstopHe covered Fran's blind spots and attacked everything that went after her with his venoI couldn't help but be impressed by the sheer toxicity of the spellIts poison was potent enough to perht kill it upon exposureThe only probleWe can't use it near allies or if we're in town
It was so potent, in fact, that it was even capable of da Fran should she inhale itFortunately, the as prudent enough not to fire it off in her direction, and I covered for hiicOf course, it was still a bit risky nonetheless, but we didn't have the liberty to really careWe had to exterminate as many monsters as we could as fast as possible
“Haaaaah!”
“Thunder Web!”
“Woooof!”
And so, the battle continuedWe were surrounded on all sides, but we kept slaying our enemies nonethelessOur methods were effectiveThe ar in order to focus onus out of its wayThey only ever moved past us in order to better surround usThank God
The only proble spells nonstop had taken quite a toll on my manaWe would soon have to shi+ft into a different style of battle
Of course, I had beenI could from our enemies each tihMy consu to stop casting for a bit and focus on support instead”
“Nn”
I continued to drain everything she slashed of its ood bit for iven the weak nature of the monsters ere currently locked in combat with, but it would eventually recoverAnd that hatthat just couldn't be helped
We had to be at our best if anted to be able to take down the aran to approach withto be pelted with spells on their way inBut even so, Fran res before her were si up okay?” Still, I was concernedThe catkin was unharhout the battle, so I knew that she felt no real physical loadBut the sarow tired eventually, and there was really nothing I could do about any sort of ue
“NnFine”
Her reply, however, indicated that my worries were needlessI could tell that she wasn't just putting up a front, that she was actually perfectly okayAs far as she was concerned, taking down the enemies that had appeared before her was as easy as a walk in the parkWowShe really has grownThis kinda thing used to exhaust the hell out of her back ere helping Jean raid that one dungeon
Of course, a walk in the park was still a type of exercise, and Fran had indeed accrued a slight bit of exhaustionHer breath had started to get ragged, but that was basically it
“We've still got a ton of battles lined up for us, so don't push yourself too hard just yet”
“Nn!”
The Start of a Battle Editors: Sebas Tian We got ready to launch our pre-emptive strike as atched the arht, I'm readyWhat about you, Fran?” “Also ready” “Woof!” There wasn't otten our preparations in order, so we had Fran give us the signal“Awakening!” All three of us began raining spells down on the ar one, so we didn't go as far as activating Brilliant Lightning RushIts suicidal downsides iven the circumstances“Ekato Kernauros!” “It's showtime! Kanna Kamui!” “Aroooo!” Fran's thunderbolts, which rained down over a wide area, caused rampant destructionThe monsters subjected to the attack howled in pain as their bodies were torn apart by theLikewise, ht in the uard, sell over a hundredthem before they could even hting one with a bit more indirect approachHe had unleashed a toxic s, one that caused the monsters that inhaled it to convulse as they were subject to an intense pain“Gyaaaoooo!” The an to howl and squeal in confusion as they atteure out where the sudden attack had coh their ranksOperation Pre-emptive Strike success“On with the plan!” “Nn!” Urushi+ began running in circles above the army as I pulled rocks and trees out from my inventory and dropped them on the ical, fla arrowsWe used to have a whole swamp's worth of toxins at our disposal, but we'd used most of it to create delicious food back ere in BarbraEven the last little bit that remained had already been converted to water with restorative propertiesMost of the giant rocks we gained when the floating islands fell apart were goneI'd duard wyrmThey wouldn't be able to cause too much widespread destruction because they were few in quantity, but that didn'tthemSure, they won't really kill too many, but I'm sure it'll probably either confuse the they areBesides, our goal has always been just to stall theood obstaclesThe tactic ended up being quite effectiveSome monsters ended up so confused that they panicked and started running around like headless chickens, screauard!” “Nn!” “Ruff!” We landed right at the front of the army and dialed our bloodlust up all the way to eleven“Gya, gyagya!? “Gii!” The immense pressure that Fran euard, the only part of the army that had eyes on her, took a step back in fear, only to be pushed back towards her by the poor, unknowing saps that stood at the rearMost of the hly fit into four categories: evil beings, beasts, scalies, and undeadThe evil beings, that is, the orcs and goblins, weren't nearly as well equipped as the ones that had attacked Schwartzekatze just a few days priorTheir appearances were much more typical of their species' nors and wooden clubsWait, are all the weak monsters up front so they can act as ?
