48 Art. 48. Fearful Cat Man




"Gwaaah!

 The Sea Serpent's huge body was blown away.
 It was done by a humanoid something with the head of a cat.
 A beastman? No, the being's body was not covered with the distinctive hair of the beastmen, and it had no tail.
 It was a complete human body.
 That's right, a medium-sized body of about 175cm in height was twice blown away by a giant body that could be ten times its own height!

"All at the ready!

 On the appearance of the enemy, Lizardman chief Geld quickly gives the order.

"This time we'll take this thing down!

 Geld and the vanguard warriors raise their spears and the rear guard warriors hold their bows.

This time we will avenge our fallen brothers' enemies! When the rear guard fires his bow, the spearmen charge. Then immediately spread out to the left and right and do not interfere with the archers' aim!

"'Yes!'

"Good aim!

 Reports of readiness can be heard from behind.

Archers, release!

 The sound of several arrows shot from behind overlapped with Geld's command, creating a loud chorus.
 And then the arrows struck the cat-man like rain falling from the heavens.

All right!

 Before the arrow hits the cat-man, Geld gives the order to charge.
 He aims for the cat-man's stunned state just after the target has evaded.

 And the arrow falls on the cat-man.
 But the cat-man stands there, showing no sign of evading the arrow.
 Couldn't you have handled the lizardman's quick response?
 The answer is no. The lizardman's arrow hits the cat-man's body but is flicked off without piercing it.

Oh!

 But Geld is not cowed by the sight and thrusts out his spear.
 The other lizardmen attacked the cat-man as well.
 More than a dozen spears pierced the catman's body, what appeared to be .......

What?

 But the catman's body was unscathed, and in his hand he held a spear that was snapped in half.
 And on the hilt of the half-broken spear, the spear tips from the other lizardmen had been thrust in.

"B-ridiculous!

 Geld realizes that the tip of the spear held by the catman is something that only he, the chief, is allowed to use.
 And your spear was broken in mid-sentence.

When did this happen?

 Geld wasn't the only one who was surprised.
 They were more than a little shocked that they were able to take their own full blows so lightly.

''Long! Avoid!

"? Everybody spread out!

 A shout from behind snaps Geld back to his senses, and he gives the order, flying to the right.
 As his men fly left and right to avoid them, a hail of arrows falls on the cat-man again.

How about this time?

 Once an attack has failed, it can't work. Even though reason understands this, your heart clings to a faint hope.
 And then hope is cruelly shattered.
 The cat-man's body was unscathed.
 He was just standing.

......

 The cat-man throws away his broken spear and walks out towards the archers located in front.

Ha! No! Stop him!

 The spearmen attack the cat-man to protect the archers who are re-nocking their arrows.
 This time they should be unable to defend themselves as they have already thrown away their spears to defend themselves.
 And then the strong lizardmen from left and right, using more than human physical strength to spear the cat-man.
 If this is the case, there is no way the enemy will be able to withstand it.
 That's what the lizardmen were trying to believe.
 with an irresistible sense of unease in their hearts.

 And the premonition was right.
 The lizardmen's spears shattered into pieces without piercing the cat-man's body.
 It felt out of place, as if they had slammed soft fruit against stone.

 The cat-man marches on.
 For a moment, the unarmed Lizardmen were puzzled as to how to stop it.
 They shouldn't have done that.
 The cat-man's form suddenly disappeared from their sight.

!

 The Lizardmen were surprised to see the cat-man disappear in an instant.
 And the next moment, there was a roar.
 The source of the roar was the same place where they had been just now.
 That means we're right next to where the archers were.

What? The archers!

 When he saw where the archers were, he was puzzled because there was no one at the place where the archers had dug up their arrows earlier.
 There was no one at the place where the archers had been nocking arrows just now.
 No, there was only one.


 A cat person.
 The cat-man was the only one standing there.

What about the archers?

 Gerd looks around to check on the life or death of his comrades who have suddenly disappeared.

......

 The archers were lying down further back from where they had just been.

They were all blown up over there in a flash?

 A horrified Geld.
 Fortunately for us, no one has died yet. But Geld was certain that if it went on like this, there would be more deaths.
 As if his fears had been answered, the cat-man approached the archers again.

Are you trying to stop them? Do whatever you have to do to stop him!

 Geld tackles the cat-man with his forces, but the cat-man proceeds to ignore him.

You!

Halt!

 The unarmed lizardmen tackle and strangle the cat-man, resisting to stop his progress.
 But the cat-man won't stop walking, dragging the lizardmen who clung to him.  

"d*mn it! What power!

 But even the cat-man was annoyed with the lizardman that clung to him, so he grabbed the lizardman that was clinging to him carelessly and threw him wildly to the ground.
 It's not an exaggeration to say that this was the sensation of the cat-man, and the thrown lizardman was actually pulled off with tremendous force and then thrown at him with unbelievable force.
 Then they threw the lizardmen one after another, and finally even the last remaining gerd was thrown at them.

''Ugh! ...... us ......

 I'm in too much pain to move my body.
 Meanwhile, the cat-man is advancing underneath the fallen archers.
 If it goes on like this, the archers will be stopped.
 But no matter how hard you try, your body can't move as you wish.

Someone please visit ......

 Someone help me, Geld wished fervently.
 And suddenly that wish was granted.

"Dosehee!

 An iridescent behemoth slammed into the tiny body of the cat-man from the side.
 The cat-man could not help himself.
 No matter how strong your body is and how strong your attack power is, if an object ten times the mass of your own came crashing down on you at high speed, you would be unable to hold back and your body would be blown apart.
 This was a natural result of the accelerated energy of the cat-man's body, which is not much different from that of a human being.

Let's retreat with our friends while we still can!

 What Gerd saw in his eyes was the bravery of a giant rainbow-colored snake.
 It was the bravery of a giant rainbow-colored serpent.
