194-Episode 194: Battle Starts




Let's stick to the plan.
"Got it!

 Taking Gil-san's words as our cue, we spread out. Shelly is left to do the vanguard, I'll play the game, and Gil-san will fight in the rear guard.......or so I thought.

 In front of me, Shelly runs at an uncommonly fast pace and flashes a flash.

 With a single swing of the sword she was holding, she cut the giant scorpion 《Huge Scorpion》 that was about to ramp up on the spot in half.

 After that, she single-handedly slaughtered the swarm of giant scorpions, Huge Scorpion, here in this place without needing our cover.

 With a snap, the sword was delivered.

 All that was spread out was the corpse of the Huge Scorpion, Huge Scorpion. It was not a weak enemy. Since it was a level 5 of this twilight danger zone, it should have been a reasonably strengthened individual.

 And yet, she had ended it all by herself.

 Honestly, I knew she was getting stronger, but I didn't expect her to go this far as a stone.

'Phew. You're done.

 That's what his voice said.

 Sherry hadn't even been exposed to the opponent's return blood. She continued to dance with her sword, as if she were dancing a performance.

''Well it looks like we didn't need to come out.
Yeah.

Gil-san and I release our wariness and head towards the corpse lying in front of us.

''Hmm. It's a special individual, but it looks like it could be an opponent.
''That's right. It's still at this level, it's still at a level that even a first level anti-magician could handle.
I know. I didn't think I'd be able to do it all by myself at first, but I'm a bit of a letdown...

 The three of us were cautious in our own right, but in reality, Shelley was right: we were disappointed... or is it more accurate to say that we were disappointed?

 But surely that doesn't mean the enemy is weak.

 I'm stronger than I was when I was wandering alone. And both Shelly and Gil, who are with me, are strong.

 We were genuinely stronger than we were. That's probably all there was to it.

 After that, we decided to take another break at a good cut-off point, since we had originally planned not to go to level 6.

 We did end up fighting a number of demons as we progressed, but the three of us could easily deal with them. Besides, Gil-san seemed to be getting used to the twilight, and he looked much more comfortable.

'Well. Let's call it a day this time, shall we? And if we're going to set up a base, we're going to need a few more people.
'Yes. I think it's safe to say we've achieved our goal.

 The purpose of this one was to investigate the enemy's situation. It would have been able to do that well enough.

 If it was at the level of a special level versus a Demon Master, it could be handled. Furthermore, a first level versus demonist would also likely be a high level member, but he thought he could fight.

 Basically, we could cut open the front line with the special level vs. demons and leave the rest of the coverage to them........

 And so we headed back to our base on level 4.
