21-First aerial swimming




 Entering the Black Gate, which was behind the waterfall, Tsutomu and his team arrived at the fifty-third level. With the air out of his ears and the pain eased, Tsutomu was relieved to see that he had been transferred to a lower level this time.


''The orcs will be coming out of here in groups. Let's keep our heads up.''
The rest is just kidnapping birds. I think Camille will be fine, but me and Garum should be wary.


 The abducting bird is a representative of the valley, grabbing equipment and people from above with its claws, and trying to drop them from a high place. It's also a very good way to get a good idea of what to expect when you're a kidnapper.

 When Tsutomu was abducted, Camille, who is skilled in aerial maneuvering, went to pick him up, but there were times when she couldn't keep her hands off the bird. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

 When Tsutomu finished preparing the potion, he looked at the blue sky for a while and saw a red bean grain. It's Camille who is flying in the sky on her fly without turning into a dragon. Tsutomu also noticed that the beans were getting larger and larger, and that a large bird was approaching behind them.

 It is a kidnapping bird with large claws and strong black wings that can easily grab a person. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what it is, but I'm going to call out to Garum with my white cane at the ready.


''It's a training ground,''


 With that, Camille landed beside them with a smile. And the abducted bird in the air above them looked around to examine the three of them, then swooped down on Tsutomu, who was wearing a white robe. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few weeks.


''Tsutomu!''


 Garum's voice gets further and further away, and Tsutomu's vision gets further and further away from the ground. Unable to move as if bound by a rope, Tsutomu manages to move his eyes and turn his attention to understanding the situation.

 The view from the Ferris wheel that he saw at the amusement park is waiting for him. And after the mocking cry of a kidnapping bird, Tsutomu was abruptly released from his claw restraints. Like a raven dropping nuts from the sky, his body, which obeys gravity, falls headlong from his head.


(What the hell is this?!)


 In a panic, Tsutomu could only flail awkwardly in the air. His stance was also headed from his head to the ground, and his vision was unsettled. In the midst of a landscape that whirled around like a washing machine, Tsutomu finally uttered a skill as the white cane he held in his right hand came into view.


'Fly!'


 After those words Tsutomu's body was attempted to be lifted up from below by the wind, but soon it was gone. The momentum of the fall was slightly lessened, but the ground was still far away. With this momentum, he would die. Tsutomu had a hunch.

 Fear of imminent death made Tsutomu fire a series of flies, but they did not work. The wind blew from below and weakened the momentum of the fall, but that was all. In the meantime, Tsutomu managed to spread his arms and legs out in a wide open position, but he still couldn't get the fly to go off.

 When the trees were already starting to become clearer and Tsutomu's consciousness faded in fear, a voice called out to him from beside them and pulled him to his feet. It was Camille in red leather armor. She carried Tsutomu on her shoulders and flew as if gliding downwards, then climbed up.

 The momentum of the fall dissipated and Camille slowly descended in the sky above, aiming for the ground. Tsutomu is reassured by the loose movement of the landscape while breathing heavily.


'Tsutomu. Can you put a fly on it? Fly yourself.


 Startled by Camille's face right beside him, Tsutomu put a fly on himself. After a few moments as the wind clung to Tsutomu's body, he left Camille's shoulder and stagnated on his own.


'So, how did it go? What did you think of the airwalk?
..........


 Tsutomu stared at Camille silently and then headed to the ground, hiding his face, which was teary-eyed with fear. Camille got behind her and patted Tsutomu on the head.


'It's a tradition for those coming to the canyon for the first time. I'm sorry to scare you. But if you don't experience this, the kidnapping birds will always be after you.
''Well, yes. Thank you for your help, Camille.


 After an amused look at Tsutomu, who emphasized the three, Camille looked amused, as if she was a challenger. She put her face to Tsutomu's ear.


'When I belonged to the Clan, you know. I looked forward to this event when the cocky newcomer arrived. We'd watch the cocky newcomer scratching his feet in the air for a while without helping him. Then you'd get close and the cocky new guy would scream and beg for help. And it's a special thing to say no after you've been rushed through it, isn't it? I can't help but allow the newcomers to be cocky, too, and that's a problem.
"...now let's get back to Galum's place, Camille! If anything happens, I'll be in trouble!
'Yes. And I'll have to put Garum through it, too.


 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's been in this situation. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.


 --Oooh--


 Then several times the kidnapping bird kept kidnapping Tsutomu and Garum. Garum was able to land on his own, albeit awkwardly, the first time, but he hurt his leg. Tsutomu was held by Camille several times, and each time he was thrilled in two ways.

 I'm sure you'll be able to land on your feet by yourself, even if you are kidnapped by a kidnapping bird. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

 And as they were climbing up the narrow mountain path with Garum at the head of the line, they heard several loud footsteps approaching from behind them. Tsutomu looked out for Garum and asked him to move to the back of the line and put his protection on the two men ahead of them.

 Three green-skinned orcs were running up the mountain path. The orcs, who were slightly taller than Garum's height, wore brown waistcoats and carried short swords and small shields in their hands.


'Combat Cry.


 Inspired by Garum's red fighting spirit, the three orcs approach Garum first. A slash from an arm as thick as a log. Garum received them even as he stabbed his large shield into the ground.

 The short-sword attack with the half-heartedly delivered attack pierced the orc's arm, but the orc didn't care and thrust his shoulder into Garum and shoulder-tackled the large shield. Garum stayed low and withstood the attack. From behind him, two orcs move to go around the great shield.


''Shield bash!''


 Garum pushes the orc in front of him to hit him with his great shield. The Orcs roll down the sloping slope, throwing themselves backwards. The orc on the left side of the orc approaching from the left and right, Garum stabs the large shield into the ground again to prevent the attack.

 Camille is already swinging her great sword down at the orc on the right, as if she were swinging down.


''Powerslash!''


 The great sword swung down from above Camille sliced through the orc's skull like butter, and the orc was cut in half from length to length. Immediately, particles danced and the splatty death-like orc turned into magical stone.

 Camille went to put a stop to the orcs that were blown away by Garm and rolled away, while Garm used his great shield and the solid stand of his shortsword to hunt down the orcs. Garm didn't even bother with the attacks that came from his thick, log-like arms, and he also pushed the orc with his large shield to break his stance and make him roll over.


''Shield Throw.''


 Releasing the name of the skill in a whispered whisper, Garum threw the large shield in his left hand at the fallen orc. A sharp part of the lower portion of the large shield pierced the orc's chest, and then the shield automatically went back under Garum and settled into Garum's left hand.


''Holy Wing.''


 Tsutomu unleashes his offensive skill, Holy Wing, on the orc that has a hole in his chest. As the holy and pure white wings materialized in front of Tsutomu and waved, sharp wings were released and rained down on the fallen orc. The Orcs moaned as they were transformed into demon stone as the wings pierced them one by one.

 Tsutomu approached the orc that had been turned into magical stone and retrieved a small green magical stone. The Camille also seems to have finished putting a stop to it and is coming up from the bottom of the hill.

 A red bear (red grizzly) suddenly appeared from the side of Camille's bushes, running on four legs, and when it noticed her, it stood up and raised its paws as if to show off the red fur on its belly. Its body length was larger than an orc. Camille ignored the red bear and ran towards Tsutomu and the others.

 The red bear returns to its quadrupedal walk and runs towards the three of them. It's not going to be possible for a person to run away from it with moderate speed for its huge body. Tsutomu nodded as Garum turned his attention to him and pointed at the red bear, and he struck out his great shield and shortsword.

 The red bear's mouth at the tip of the proboscis, which seemed to protrude from his face in response, opened with a gabari, and he came at him with a threatening voice that made the forest tremble. A voice released to return to Garum's Warrior Howl. But they didn't care about the threatening voice and went into battle with their normal movements.

 Garum feels that the red bear's rush is not enough to receive it, so he dodges to the right and slams his large shield against the side. Camille came at the staggering red bear to strike a blow, but he avoided the front leg that was swung to the side and kept his distance.

 If she takes that stiff arm seriously, even Garum, who has a high VIT, will take it to a fracture. Garum approaches the red bear inch by inch with his large shield in hand while keeping his temper up.

 Tsutomu moved away from them once to search the surroundings in the meantime. The mountain path surrounded by bushes makes it difficult to grasp the situation due to poor visibility. While Garum is preventing the red bear's paws from swinging between his two hands, Tsutomu keeps his eyes peeled for any other monsters that might be out there, protecting them with his protection.

 But the bushes are still too deep for Tsutomu to see if there are any monsters. The best way to do this is to have a good idea of what to look for, and then return to the battlefield.

 Garum is hit by the red bear's body with his large shield, but he retreats backwards significantly. A stabbing punch continues to fly. Garum stomps firmly on the ground and takes it with his large shield, but he loses his stance and falls to one knee on the ground.

 The big sword is buried in the belly of the red bear that jumped on the garum to cover it.


''Soorah!


 As if to cut up as it was, the great sword was swung and the red bear was blown backwards. The red bear's belly was ripped open as it floated through the air, its internal organs scattered on the ground. Camille slammed the great sword into the fallen red bear's head, and it rolled up particles before the colorless medium magic stone fell to the ground with a potpourri.

 When the battle was over, a silence fell over the tense place. And as if anticipating this, the grass wolf (verdant wolf) that was mimicking it surrounded the three of them.


''It's about time we had lunch.
They want to join us.


 Tsutomu turned at Camille's words and the three orcs running from down the hill again came into view. Tsutomu instructed them in frustration.


'Garum is half wolf and half orc with conkla. Camille will be the orc priority shaving and hasten. I'll take some wolves.


 At Tsutomu's command, Garum invokes Combat Cry. Red chi spreads out from in front of him and four grass wolves and three orcs attack Garum, provoking hostility from him. Camille intercepts the orcs with her hazed and quickened feet.

 Taking on two orcs and four grass wolves, Garum holds his large shield in both hands and is attacked by two orcs. He blows them away with a shield bash to buy time to deal with the grass wolves in the meantime.

 The four orcs are gradually closing the distance between them as they inch around Garum. Garum doesn't move.

 He catches the grass wolf in front of him with his large shield and plays it off as he attacks with his fangs as if he was numb. That grass wolf's nose pillar was crushed and disappeared into the bushes. And the grass wolves jumped at it from three sides.

 One of them reacted and played away with his large shield, but two of them jumped on Garum and knocked him out of his stance. One put its teeth on Garum's armor-wrapped leg, and the other leaned on Garum.

 The leg has no fangs through it, so it's not a problem, but the one that's leaning on it is trying to gnaw on Garum's neck. Garum tried to twist around, holding the grass wolf's neck with one arm, which was salivating sloppily, with his arm.


'Air slash.


 The grass wolf, which was dripping beastly saliva and clicking its teeth, was blown away by a wind blade to its side. Garum quickly got up and kicked the grass wolf that was covering his legs. A frightened grass wolf while letting out a high-pitched scream.

 Behind the resurrected orcs, Camille is swinging her great sword. Feeling that one of them can be ignored, Garum catches the club wielded by the orc's two hands with his large shield. It seems that one hand was not able to completely block it with one stone, and Garum's bent knee floated away.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well. The grass wolf, which is crying out as if drowning in its own blood, lies limp on the ground.

 A strong impact from Garum's side. The orc's cudgel catches Garum and he is blown away. Garum goes into the bushes, turning and turning every which way.

 Tsutomu looked at it from the side, but held his staff at the three grass wolves. The grass wolves attacking.


(That's around there. Protek 20 and Haste 40...with no problem with Hate)


 Tsutomu strikes the grass wolf's head with his white cane to frighten it, and then he releases his heel and protection into the bushes where Garum rolled and quickly avoids the grass wolf that pounced on him to the side.

 The orc that had blown Garum away had already been slaughtered by Camille. Garum quickly stood up while his side that was creaking and sore was recovered.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. Leaving the grass wolf to Garum, who had come to cover Tsutomu, he made sure Camille was uninjured, and then piled on the haste and protection.

 And after confirming that the last grass wolf was defeated, Tsutomu looked around for a bit and began to collect the magic stone. I've got Garum and Camille to keep an eye out for the surroundings while I head out to collect the magic stone at a small run.


(This is so annoying.)


 Tsutomu struggled to pick up the magic stones that rolled down the slope and entered the bushes. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it easier to collect them if you blow up the monsters.

 Tsutomu went back underneath the two wary men, thinking that since there were three of them anyway, he should hire a luggage carrier.
