Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Seventieth Episode~ Ambush・Raid “Uaa-” “-Enemy raid!” What? Enemy? Someone rides up on a horse before being struck by a large black arrow and falling . Arrows, fire arrows, and magic fire balls come flying . They are outside the range of presence detection . The surprise attack is coming from the left . -Shit, filled with anger, I look for the source of the hail of arrows . There is a group in dark brown . There is a magic user casting fire balls and a light soldier using a bow . I see someone walking in a strange enormous armor . Is that iron helmet a mask? A little taller than three meters? They’re taking a stance, drawing their longbow with a thick arm . Perhaps, is that a magic wogan doll? I saw soldiers of iron during the Evil Dragon King subjugation . It seems this is the one firing the thick black arrows . With slow movements, the iron creature shoots another arrow . Again, one of the adventurers is pierced by iron . The iron creature appears slow, but its accuracy is unquestioned . The members of 【Twilight Road】 were acting as vanguard, so the giant arrows, regular arrows, and fireballs removed adventurers from their horses, causing them to escape in every which direction . After the horses escape, only the dead adventurers remain on the ground . The body of Kens, the leader of Twilight Road is among them . A thick iron arrow is embedded in his chest . He died the moment his heart was pierced . The thick iron arrows also struck the wagons, breaking off the wheels . Its frame is tilted, resting on the road . The goods being transported are spilled over the ground . The horses that were harnessed to the wagons have away as well . The thick iron arrows have stopped flying, but the regular arrows and fireballs are still falling . A fireball directly hits the covered wagon the merchant was riding in . The coachman is killed by a stray arrow . Without its driver, the covered wagon crashes into the rocks and goes up in flames . Arrows hit the harnessed horses so go into a panic and break free of their restraints, running away . The caravan stops moving . This surprise attack was planned like they knew the convoy would pass through here . Angry voices rise from the adventurers . However, only one of the covered wagons hasn’t been attacked . There, the adventurers from 【Fadyke’s Fang】 are acting as middle guard, defending . They seem to have blocked the big iron soldier’s thick arrows . Several people are running away, eluding the fireballs . N, what? Those two? The two adventurers in dark brown robes are doing something else . They dismount their magic beasts, draw knives, and attack the members of Fadyke’s Fang from behind . Seriously- we’re being betrayed . That moment, I remember what happened yesterday . That adventurer woman sent a communication with her invisible hawk . However, the female adventurer removes a bastard sword from her back and moves to protect the last wagon . The red-head isn’t betraying us? She’s not the enemy right now . The sword she is using resembles a bastard sword . It’s a one handed sword like Bitou . While I look at Fran the two traitors in dark brown respond with throwing their knives, they’re fast, two more people are killed . Their skill with the sword is as deadly as their ability with knives . They definitely have the throwing skill . Their movements are fast and their aim accurate . A thrown knife lands between the brows of an adventurer using a bow . Without their bow user, 【Fadyke’s Fang】 can’t counterattack, so they can only be cut down one sided . However, I’ll make them regret this . (TL: Booyah . ) I aim for the person with the long sword . I extend my right hand, and after the magic halberd appears as I swing with the crimson ax blade, then I slap Popobumu and instantly arrive at the dark brown cloaked man . At the same time, the crimson ax blade hits a boulder sticking out of the ground, sparks scatter- a trail follows like a firework . The man in the dark brown robe turns around when I arrive, but it’s too late . The flaming crimson blade severs the man’s head . The severed head flips through the air . The dark brown hood is stained with blood, the body collapses like a puppet with its strings cut . “Na- Rocha, shit!” Angry with me for killing their companion, they begin shouting . -Rocha . It seems they didn’t give false names . The screaming man removes his hood exposing his face . He is fair-haired and blue eyed, a handsome man . I glare at him . Such a gaze is ignored . Make Popobumu detour around . -I check my surroundings . The people launching the surprise attack are on the right side as well as the left . On the other hand, the surviving adventurers have gathered around the covered wagon, creating a barricade . I should return and see how things are going . -I sent Popobumu to the wagon . After leaving the covered wagon, the surviving adventurers have understood what is happening . Fran is leading several adventurers with good builds . They are protecting the members around the carriage . “Someone betrayed us . This attack was planned . ” “Shit, what luck . N…we’re surrounded, oi, is that a Wogan?” “It is . …This is the worst case scenario . For so many thieves to appear…” I see the group is releasing attacks from the wagon’s shadow . The magic Wogan doll and dozen of people dressed in dark brown robes approach . We’re completely surrounded . As I look at enemies, I find the person who glared at me earlier . Ash blue eyes . The traitor has rejoined his group . However, fire balls and thick iron arrows have stopped . The covered wagon has been left intentionally . Now then, seeing as it can’t be helped, let’s hear what they have to say . “You people, you okay?” “Ah, the rear guard is fine . However, the wagons are destroyed, this is the only one left . ” “Adventurers, help us…” Then, Taijiki appears from in the covered wagon . His expression is haggard . It seems he’s alive . “You’re alive . Leave it to us, we won’t surrender to thieves . The members of 【Fist of God】 are all resolute . Na, you-” “That’s right . ” “As expected of Gomez . ” “We’ll defend to our death . ” Including the leader, there are three members in 【Fist of God】 who can use magic . “You can smile under these circumstances? I admire your enthusiasm, but do you have countermeasures?” Fran has taken a defensive posture, speaking caustic words with lowered eyebrows . Still, 【Fist of God’s】 leader doesn’t look upset and answers seriously . “Sheila, can you spread the defense wall immediately?” “Yeah . I can set it up . ” “Captain, what about me?” “Gio, stay by Sheila’s side . -Fran, aren’t you a B rank adventurer? Sheila will create a defensive magic circle, until then I’ll fight-” Sheila’s magic chant cuts him off . “-The magic lasts five minutes . The time shortens when attacks are received . ” “That’s right . Do you have some kind of trump?” “Iya, I don’t have an area attack skill, but I’m confident in my ability with this long sword . If it’s one on one, I won’t be defeated . ” He says to Fran with a hint of confidence . “Is that so, the answer is natural for a B rank . Don’t I have confidence too? However, we’re outnumbered . ” After Fran talks to Gomez, she nods her head and turns her gaze to me . -Fran? Her freckled face squints a little, she’s a beautiful woman . She says she is confident in her ability with the bastard sword and her left arm . On her left hand is a red leather glove with a button, her arm is covered in white gauze from her wrist to her shoulder . Does this have something to do with a skill? It may be related to her handling the invisible hawk . However, the transparent bird left and still has yet to return . Fran looks at me too . Our eyes meet silently, then I turn to look at Gomez . Because of the protection of Gomez’s magic user, Rollo and I should be able to move on our own . Ma, I don’t know if these guys would survive, but I’ll give my opinion . “I have a plan . Plan B . ” “Plan B? N, what kind of plan? I think…you . ” “C rank, Shuya . ” “Is that so, you can use B rank Fran? So? What is it?” I meant something different, but it’s fine . “Iya, Rollo and I will attack . At that time, you maintain the battle formation, your magic user-san can set up the defense circle . Can the barrier be maintained until my black cat and I break the encirclement?” “Are you an idiot?” “Iya, I’m serious? I’ll do it regardless of what you say . ” “-N, wait, I’ll take part in the plan . ” Fran seems to agree with my plan B . “Oi, oi, you agree with this guy’s idiotic plan B?” Gomez half laughs as if saying a joke . “That’s-” When Fran speaks, a thick iron arrow pierces the covered wagon . “You’re surrounded, surrender peacefully!” A thieve with a deep voice speaks . “-Is that so? Fran agrees with me . What about you?” “Ku…” Gomez looks at the members of his clan . Everyone trusts Gomez, they wait for his command . “Fine- please, take care of it . ” Appearing determined, Gomez replies . Yosh, we’ll be doing some work . -I look in Rollo’s direction . “Nya . ” Rollo turns her crimson eyes to me . She’s sitting on the back of Popobumu’s head, but she appears ready to go . “Well then, Fran and Gomez, thank you . ” Saying so, I guide Popobumu and charge to the left . There are many enemies on the left . With Burdock in my right hand, I urge Popobumu to go faster . “Rollo, can you hold of the big iron soldier?” “N, Nyao . ” “It’s slow so its legs should be its weak point, I’ll leave it to you-” While saying so, I fix Burdock to the right . The crimson spear head pierces the chest of a dark brown robe in front of me . The crimson spear goes straight through . With the corpse stuck to the spear head, without slowing down, I continue to charge into the enemies . -Rollo jumps off . She runs while her form changes, and like I said, ignores the small fires, charging for the magic wogan doll . Seeing Rollodinu in the corner of my sight, I extend my left hand and eject . The range and speed of the skill have become comparable to a bullet . -Buzzing as it flies, the chain creeps across the ground . The chain pierces the foot of a bow man and wraps around his leg like a snake . I lift the living bow soldier and slam him into another bowman . Then, using the impact, I let the chain entwine the other bow man . -Thus is the birth of a meat wall . Living flesh hammer, just kidding . Once room has been created, the warrior in dark brown cloak shout and approach . Good force . However- I throw the slightly burnt corpse attached to the halberd at the charging men . The corpse and halberd collide with them . Somersaulting down, I move away from Popobumu’s stomping feet . Even as I hear something squish- I jump . Popobumu charges away from the people . An assassin type soldier tries to take advantage of the opening after I land, approaching with a dagger in each hand he tries to stab me in the back . -The daggers glimmer . Back stab? However, I activate a certain skill . The next moment, the daggers fall from the man’s hands, and he is blown away . I made a fist with the . The assassin’s face is caved in . I pick up the dead man with my distorted mana hand . I make the corpse float in the air behind me . (TL: Shit, Shuya . ) Now, I have two meat walls . Next, a magic user sees me and tries to launch fireballs . GOOOOOO, it approaches loudly . Unconcerned, I respond- I move the chain so the fireball collides with the meat wall . The fireball extinguishes . The man hit by the fireball is slightly charred, his leg looks like it is about to come off, so I remove chain entwined around it . This magician? I glare at the magic user who threw the fire ball . Holding a staff . -I aim for the magic user . Using fighting moji enhanced legs, jump, hop, step . Firing into the ground midway, I move fast . That moment- I go straight to the magic user . I use the momentum from charging at him . Slashing down with the magic spear, I bisect the magic user’s head . However, unusual- the magic user’s response . Using his staff, he tries to block the crimson ax blade . However, the moment they meet, the staff is sliced in half and set aflame then the magic user’s head is bisected . The crimson blade sinks into the magic user’s head, sizzling sounds are heard, and the smell of burnt flesh wafts from the wound . The smell endures . I kick the corpse and remove my halberd, then spin the magic spear . -An arrow comes flying . It lands with a dull thump . -The arrows hit the two meat walls behind me . One of the two meat walls is held in the air with so without magic observing eyes the opponent doesn’t understand what is happening . The face of the man who fired the arrow is filled with astonishment . It’s only natural . I have no intention of the letting the bowman fire another arrow . I use fighting moji enhanced legs again, closing the space with the Bowman . Without slowing down, I the magic spear- while twisting, the piercing skill . The spear head and adjacent ax blade pierce forward, twisting . My opponent meets a miserable end . The crimson ax blade tears the wound in a circle . A big circular flaming wound is created . The leather armor quickly peels away leaving behind a burning wound shaped like a crescent moon . The Bowman’s eyes open wide as he looks down at the fatal wound . “…” At a loss for words, he says nothing . He simply falls forward . Now, I’ve finished killing the enemies around me . I don’t see any near bye enemies or detect any presences . There’s more space to work now, so I run after Rollo . She seems to be facing off with the Wogan doll properly . The feelers are entangled around its legs, making the gigantic figure fall over . Dragging like that…she approaches . Why is Rollo dragging such a heavy object to me? Moving the iron creature side to side, its live a toy being pulled by a string… Dust is being kicked up . I can hear the screams of the dark brown thieves . Several people around the iron warrior have collapsed, dead . Ah~, the enemy’s final pitiful moments . “Nya, nyah . ” After all, Rollo calls out while she drags the magic Wogan doll . She caught her prey, so she wants to show off . (TL: I love Rollo . ) “I troubled you . Rollo, you can do what you like now . ” The magic wogan doll is currently a broken down mess . Oops, it’s still moving . Its surface is deformed like it’s been smashed into trees, its form is like a bloody iron man . Ma, I’ll deliver the final blow . I aim at the dented metal head . Dropping the crimson ax blade down, I destroy it . A silvery black fluid flows out of the head . So, I try to look at Rollo, but she’s already run off in search of new prey . She’s switched over to a chasing game now . The dark brown cloaks have all turned away and are fleeing, one by one they give a bone sword in the back . That… One of the people in a dark brown cloak doesn’t flee but turns around to face Rollodinu . There is only one thieve remaining . Alone? Isn’t he brave? They throw off their hood . Eh? They’re a woman? “Ahhhhh, Totto-” Totto? The hell is Totto?
