27-027-Fight with Ifrit

The Flame Spirit Efreet released a large number of fireballs in all directions, and the surrounding houses were caught in the middle of it, burning up!

But despite witnessing the devastation, the elven villagers refused to take any action.

''Wait, why?　Why doesn't everybody just run away!　That's dangerous!

Even though Satsuki questioned them loudly, the elves didn't move even slightly.

They are all looking down with expressions of despair, as if they are accepting their own deaths.

'They don't have the will to run ... no, they don't have the will to resist.

Brave Kanemitsu's words make me huff and puff.

'I've been wondering why Yupiter has been saying that we can't beat Efreet with the elves in this forest, but I finally figured it out.

The end result of the excesses of wishful thinking, that it is........

Right after Kunitoki, the swordsman of the brave party, laments the current situation in the Elf Village, a large number of fireballs are released from the Ifrit again, and we hurriedly jump away from the scene!

But the elven girl who failed to escape was left standing in front of the flames, stunned.

''Run!''

Even though Satsuki raised her voice, the girl still did not escape.

At the time when a huge fire covered the vision of her little eyes--

Heroic Shield!

Kanemitsu jumped out in front of the girl's eyes and caught the fireball with a shield augmented by magic power.

''Huh ... are you alright?''

Kanemitsu threw down the burnt leather shield and glanced at the girl.

The elf girl had fainted in shock and collapsed on the spot, but the wizard Shizuha hurriedly rushed over to her and ran back to us while piggybacking the girl.

''Hero-sama!　Ooookay!

Kanemitsu looked relieved to see Shizuha evacuate safely, and slowly walked towards Efreet.

''Well, in my opinion, I'm very uncomfortable with cutting up children. Why don't you stop hiding in such a place and try to fight fairly and squarely?

Kanemitsu said a little provocatively, and Efreet stared at him in annoyance.

'I am inadequate because of the cleverness of the forest monkeys. But rest assured, when I have finished devouring the souls of these vessels, they will burn you all to a crisp fire.

I don't know what's so reassuring. But it's a problem...

Kanemitsu spun around and turned around and waved his hands fluttering to the side as he chuckled at me.

'Like I said before, I don't want to slay a child.

Yeah, I knew it.

I couldn't resist answering with a conditional reflex, but this guy is that kind of guy.

I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

''Well then, I'll go from here.''

Elena?

I'm surprised to see Elena going into battle on her own, but Efreet is amused and laughs.

"I see, so you're just like me.

"I'm not as violent as you, though, am I?

I think he came to the human village and early on he was waterboarding and chasing around the bandit henchmen, but that's beside the point.

On the one hand, the spirit of fire, and on the other hand, the spirit of water.

The two opposing sides of the opposing sides were still facing each other in the flames, checking each other out.

And the first to move........was Elena.

''Blizzard Spear!''

As soon as Elena swings her right arm, a large number of ice arrows appear in the air, and they all attack Efreet at once!

If it's a direct hit, Jupiter's body won't be safe either... but...

"Firewall

A huge wall of flames covered Efreet's surroundings, vaporizing all the arrows in an instant.

''It's my turn next. ........Inferno.''

A huge fireball appears above Efreet's head, and even though he's far away from her, he can feel the heat of the chili and burning skin.

And then a huge cannonball of fire, released at the same time as she thrusts out her right hand, strikes Elena!

"Icewall!

The flaming shells were blocked by a huge wall of ice and disappeared with steam.

''Flare Storm.''

"Ice Storm!

From then on, they did not speak to each other at all, but simply shot each other with magic.

The high-level magic battle between the spirits is just one word: tremendous, and everyone can only watch it in a daze, and seeing this, Satsuki pulled the hem of her clothes with a quirk.

''What?''

Onii-chan it seems like you and Elena-san shouldn't be fighting as husband and wife.

Shut up. I mean, we're not even married.

I looked at Elena again while I put a deco pin in Satsuki, and I could see the impatience on her face.

'Elena, are you okay?'

''I'll be fine. .........But Efreet keeps sucking mana out of Yupiter-san's body every time she releases her magic, and if she continues like this, Yupiter-san's soul is going to disappear first......''

'Shit!　All's well that ends well...!

--At that moment, the "Crisis Sensing" skill reacted.

In terms of position, far behind us, in front of Efreet's........no, in front of Jupiter.

The only person who would take offensive action against Jupiter at this moment in time was.....

I shouted that name as soon as I heard it.

''Don't do it, Renette!

Immediately after, the sound of an arrow being shot echoed through the village.

The arrow that was shot with tremendous force, straight through Jupiter's heart - but not his left shoulder.

''Veaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The sudden situation caused Efreet to go upside down and started shooting flames recklessly at the surroundings.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this.

''Bah, you fool!　What are you doing?

"Whoa, whoa, f*ck you monster!

"I ain't gonna die here, you son of a b*tc*!

"Holy Shields!　Holy shields!　Holy Shield!

The three members of the brave party watched the elves who were literally rioting in a 'death-defying' manner with a delicate expression on their faces.

''Hmmm, rather than the village code of non-resistance, I guess fear will win out after all...''

Even a swordsman like us is hard to beat, that we are.

'Let's get out of here, both of you, without admiration!

As expected, Kanemitsu judged that it would be difficult to continue the battle, and Kanemitsu made the other two take refuge in the shadows, leaving himself alone.

In the end, the ones who remained here were me, Elena, Kanemitsu and.......

'What?　Huh?

There was a figure of Fuzzy (Satsuki) standing there with a scurrying, bewildered look on his face.

''Say, Satsuki-san!

You're an idiot!　I told you to take shelter with the rest of the people!

Well, and by the way...

Although he urged Satsuki, who was inadvertently left behind in the dead zone, to leave immediately, Efreet noticed the opening and kicked the ground hard, moving in front of Satsuki in an instant and holding his fist of fire.

He hurriedly reached out to help her, but he couldn't reach her!

Stop it, Jupiter, stop it!

Satsuki!

Satsuki shrank back in fear and crouched down on the spot.

''What, eh...?''

"Run....away..., Satsuki...

Jupiter-kun...!

Although the figure was engulfed in flames, it was unmistakably Jupiter himself who had just uttered a voice.

I took a moment to rush over, picked up Satsuki and left the scene.

''Brother, Jupiter-kun!　Run!　I'm doing my best!

'Yeah, right!'

I nodded strongly to a teary-eyed Satsuki and let her take refuge in the shadows where everyone was hiding.

And once again I'm face to face with Efreet, Kanemitsu opens his mouth.

'I think you haven't fully assimilated with Efreet, Hupiter. If we can somehow get him and the boy apart, we might be able to help.

How do you pull it off?

You're a great Thief. I wish I could take his ring but haven't you mastered your stealing skills?

It works, but it didn't work on his ring.

When I brought Jupiter back to the inn, I tried a whole range of robbery-type skills to see if I could remove the ring on the middle finger of my right hand, but the results were all wrong.

Perhaps in the same way that my appraisal skills couldn't appraise Elena's necklace, there are similar restrictions on Efreet's sealing ring.

''Kukuk.......soon.

!

Seeing us unsure of what to do next, Efreet sneered suspiciously again.

"When all the seals are lifted, my power will be equal to God's."

God...?

At Efreet's muttering, something blurred my memory for a moment.

''If you take away this guy's sealed ring, Jupiter will be saved...''

Sifu's skills can't take away the ring that sealed the efreet from him.

Oh, yeah, I could do that.

I glanced at my right hand, then stepped straight ahead, looking at Efreet.

'What you did with me was inadvertent. This right hand could sell a fight, even to God. And now the girl I saved is right here in front of me!

Mr. Kanata?

I kind of laughed when I saw Elena's eyes widen in surprise, but I thrust my right hand up to the heavens and shouted, "Come on!

'Come on!　If you don't come here it's not going to make any sense, God!

Strangely, strength is pouring into my right hand.

I almost feel my consciousness jumping at the sensation of having my entire body's magic power uprooted, but I grit my back teeth just in time and stop.

Come on!
