57 Episode 51: Saber Tiger (2)





 Zsa Zsa: ......

 The territorial troops, consisting of 150 people, were advancing through the [Wasteland of Corzo] in a formation of the shape of a ◆.

 They had the [Mobile Arrowhouse] and item transport vehicles placed in the center of the formation, and these were surrounded by archers and magicians, with the outermost vanguard troops guarding them.

 This is a formation similar to the one when we were working in groups A-F of 25 people x 6, and that experience is still being used today, when we are working in units of 150 people.


 Rattle Rattle: ......


 And the item-heavy transport of today's transport is again active this time around is Kimura's loincloth girl, Chiyo.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your loincloths.

 It was cold, even if it wasn't snowing today....... It's amazing how much effort they put into keeping their loincloths on their hips.


 ......


 Now, I was on my horse, shining the sword barrel of the 'Copper Sword +3' on the blue cloud while grasping such a march in the sky.

 Kiran*.

 The luster of the bronze is brilliant in its golden white and silvery hue.

 This bronze sword was given to me by the king when he appointed me as his lord.

 It's not easy to wield, it's an elaborate shape for a ritual.


 According to Liv, before she had Ichitaro-kun beat her back, she was at -2, which means she was at +5 compared to the time she attacked the dungeon alone.

"Lion Cat is here!

 At that time.

 A voice came out from the right wing of the formation.

 I want to save my troops' magic and items until the boss battle, so I'm going to take out the high combat power normal monsters as much as possible.

 I quickly lowered the Black King Maru to the scene.


 Gulululul (x4)


Ugh, four of them: ......

 Thinking it's a bit tight, I break between the lords and the monster.


 Zany, zany: ......


 Shit.

 I can feel people's eyes on me from behind.

 You can't be a bad fighter.

 This is a bit of a tense scene for a lord.

''Huh. ......!''

 While I was thinking this, the first lion cat attacked me.


 Hyun...... pish!


 I swung my bronze sword plus three at the top of the blade and cleaved its head at an angle.

 The second one comes immediately, so I turn around and thrust my side and insert the tip of the cut deep into the ribs.

 The other two animals came at the same time, so I quickly cut off the head of one of them and split the other one in half.


 Dosa...... dosa dosa......

 Oh!


 The monsters scattered into four balls of light, and the lords cheered from behind.

''Ho.......''

 At the same time that I kept my face, I was feeling a definite feel for the growth of the Sword 《Vine》.

 The proof of this is that the Lion Cat, which required two hits to defeat in the last dungeon, was defeated with a single physical hit today.

 At this rate, I can estimate my own workload to be a little higher.

 For now, I'll let Chiyo, who's been busy since a while ago, take a break.

 With that in mind, I went to the rear of the formation where she is located, the "Shinkari".

'Ei! ...... Taha! TO!

 Bish! Bash!

 Up close, this martial daughter had put up a great fight against the Red Orcs.

 Chiyo had the highest combat power in the unit, which was 8300.

 Yet, she was still able to cross over to a Red Orc with a combat strength of 18,000 because she hadn't eaten a single attack from her opponent.

''You're a martial artist, I think you can duck with your body language. You'll need to look at the enemy more closely and try not to take any extra damage.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it," she said, and since then, she has been honestly and honestly improving her bodywork skills.

 The bodywork is an ability suitable for a martial artist.

Ta-ah! Eeeeeeeeee!

 However, his offensive power was still adequate for the battle, and he seemed to be lacking in decisiveness.

''Chiyo. Give it to me!

"Oh, my lord!

 Saying that, Chiyo moved away from the enemy and I swung my copper sword, the Tsurugi, again.

 Gof! ...... ugh ......

 However, Red Orcs cannot be defeated in a single blow.

 The lion cat has a higher overall fighting strength than the red orc, but the red orc is tougher.

 In the end, it took me three shots to defeat this guy.

''Hahahaha ....... Chiyo. It's going to be tough, so take a break.

It's okay. You'll fight.

 And after forcing her to rest by appeasing her belligerence, I decided to move Eriko-san, who was on the left wing, to the shin-gari.

 Guffaw, guffaw: ......

 And then the Red Orcs appeared again, so I'll try to find a way to defeat them in one hit this time.

 Heeheen!

 So I rode my flying horse high into the sky.

 I rapidly gained altitude and tossed and turned in the sky, and then began a rapid descent in line with gravity.

 Keen! ......

 Yes.

 It's a good idea to speed up your attacks with the flight of the Black King circle.

 The flying magic Wollertus is a tactic used by Cross, Derry, Gliko and others with high attack ability.

 I thought that with Kuro-Ohmaru's presence, I would be able to do the same.

 But ......

 Keen: ......!

 Scary!

 I'm terrified that the ground is coming fast and furious upside down.

 I manage to mentally subdue this, and I enter the motion of slashing.

''Ohhhh!


 Keen...... Chudos!

 Para, para-para: ......


Ugh, that hurts.

 But we did it! That's a lot of power!

 A destructive force that has clearly surpassed the advanced level barrier that hadn't been crossed for a long time!

 I thought for a moment that ...... and

 Guffaw (laughs)

 If you look closely, you can see that blunt Red Orc had evaded him with ease.

 All that was left of the ground was a slash mark.

 That's right.

 When you swoop down from above to slash, your trajectory is completely visible to the enemy.

 Even the slow-moving enemy would not be able to eat this silently.


 


 Red Orc laughs like he's on the point, which makes me soooo angry, and this guy has already beaten me with a series of regular hits.


 ◇


 Since the Corzo Wasteland is a quest area with an open field of vision, I thought the boss would be easy to find, but even after lunch had passed and it was time for a snack, we still couldn't find the 【Sabel Tiger】.

''At this rate, it looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow to defeat the boss.

 It's a good thing," muttered Gitaro Bando.

The best way to do this is to have a look at the website.

It's an event that doesn't sit well with us, that it is, so I'm sure they won't complain about it without a special day off.

 Christmas Eve is as important an event as New Year's Day in this Kelmut culture, and there is a saying that goes "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", so we too will take the day after tomorrow ......, I said yesterday.

I'd rather see the people of the realm complain if they're allowed to take a day off for an event they don't know very well without defeating the boss, that I'm sure.

 Gitaro Bando says so, and that may indeed be true.

 Everyone's trying their best to beat the boss, right?

'Yeah ......'

 I puffed on my cigarette, but forgot to light it, and unconsciously pondered it for a while.


 Zah, zah, zah, zah: ......


'Oh ...... yes! Anko. Please.

Is it me?

 That's when I got the idea, and took Anzu's hand and made her straddle the front side of my horse.

"I'm going to jump a bit.

'What? ...... Wow, wow!

 The pigtailed head in front of me was purring and shaking in admiration as I gave the flying horse altitude.

'How's that?' You can see a long way. Isn't there a saber tiger?

Yes. You can see very far from the sky! But sir. I don't know what the boss looks like.

 So I'll try to possess it.

'It's cold.'

 This girl is this girl, the lower half of her body is wearing only a "wind skirt" and not the provided tights, so I can't help but get goose bumps on my thighs in the cold weather.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

 Yeah, great.

...... oops, watch out!

 I grabbed Anna's hand, grabbing the reins of my deflated hand and holding it up so I wouldn't fall off the horse.

'......,'

 And then, scurrying around this corzo wasteland, I get a 360-degree view of it.

 As expected of a diver's eyesight.

 I can see really far.


 By the way, the reason why my own eyesight increased during the dungeon exploration the other day is because I was often possessed by Kyoko, so I think that characteristic may have been transferred to me .......

 Is it the characteristics of the female ninja Saionji Kanako that had an increase in swiftness?

 In other words, it is a byproduct of guidance by possession, a phenomenon in which the "characteristics" of the person being raised are transferred.

 However, even if we say 'the traits of the possessed person will be transferred to me,' this does not mean that I can exceed the scope of my own talent.

 For example, Kyoko's eyesight is 7.0 when measured by a status-conscious person.

 In contrast, my original vision was 0.8, but repeated possession of Kyoko increased it to 1.5.

 However, if I continue to possess Kyoko, I can't say that I will also have 7.0 eyesight.

 If my inborn eyesight limit is 1.5, then no matter how much I possess Kyoko, my eyes won't get better anymore.

 ...... Well, this is just a byproduct of the process, and the primary purpose of possession is to 'nurture' the other person.


'Oops!'

 Well, that's what we found.

 It's a sabre tiger.

 Lying sluggishly on a rolling rock is a huge body.

 It's far away, but I'm sure I caught it with my own eyes (Kyoko's eyes).


'Bando, three o'clock.

 So I went down to the ground and returned to my body and led my troops down.


''I'm pretty sure it was around here: ......

 But when I reach the rocky area, I'm not in the same place I was earlier.

 Has he already gone?

 When you think about it.

 Gululu: ......

 And a four-legged shadow peeks out of the rock.

'There!'

 But there was just a lion cat.

'What, this guy again: ......

 Gull...... Buru Buru

 And he's scared and squirming.

 I didn't want to take down a guy who was so frightened, so well, I gestured with a "ssshhh" to indicate that I didn't mind having him run away. ...... That's when I realized.

 Buri Buri Buri: ......

 It's not us he's scared of.

 The object of his fear was beyond that.


 Gash! Gash! ...... julul, huff huff huff ...... Golul ......


 That thing that boasted a size comparable to a green dragon, and on top of that, it had two fangs that literally grew out of its upper jaw like a sword 《sabel》.

 Those fangs were cruelly [preying] on the Toxodon with a combat strength of 22,000.

 That's right.

 He is a sabre tiger.
