94-Chapter 5-17 How to Battle the Demon

Out of the bag came a cyclops, a troll, and a wyvern.

Moreover, the normal wyvern is 3-4 meters long, while this one is well over 5 meters. The color of the wyvern is usually moss green, which can vary from light to dark depending on the individual, and can also be replaced by a pale red, depending on the individual's marital color, but the color of the wyvern that emerged from the bag was a light black.

I'm sure that this wyvern is either a subspecies or a mutant, but I can't say for sure.

"Namitaro, have you ever seen anything like that?

Before asking me, I'd like to ask you for an opinion... well, not that big, but I've seen it before. They're probably mutants.

Namitaro is impressed by the surprisingly knowledgeable Namitaro, but the distance between him and the wyvern makes it impossible for his evaluation to work. When I told this to Namitaro, he was astonished.

What's up with you, Temma? It's a good idea to activate the appraisal and concentrate the magic power in your eyes while looking at the target. That's right........at first, it's a bit like focusing a telescope or something. Once you get used to it, though, you'll be able to focus on it just like your own eyes.

I followed Namitaro's advice and tried the appraisal and it didn't work at first, but after a few tries, I got a feel for it.

Name........Wyvern.

Species ... a wyvern mutant.

It was a simple appraisal, but it was a success. After the success, I found out that the tamer doesn't seem to have much of an attachment to his family. His name is just that, a wyvern. In other words, he usually calls it a wyvern.

Just to be sure, I used the same appraisal on Cyclops and Trolls and the result is the same, their names are the same as their species names.

"If he catches me, do you think he'll name me 'Koi'?

Aside from the fact that Namitaro's race is a carp, he seems to be the type of person that many tamer's think of their subordinates as tools.

The audience is excited to see a new member of the military. In a large city like King's Landing, a wyvern can be seen several times a year in the military or defeated, and many aspiring tamer's have longed to be part of the military, so the confusion is not as great as it was with Solomon.

However, with the entry of this wyvern, the demon soldiers were at a disadvantage.

If it was only Cyclops and Trolls, depending on the skill level of Gulliver and the knights' coordination, they had a good chance of winning, but if the number of enemies from the air increased, the story would change.

At any rate, there is no one in the demon soldier corps who is capable of fighting in the air, and if they are not good, they will be unilaterally attacked from the air.

I'm sure that, even if he was a knight of the marquis family, he would have mastered at least a certain amount of attack magic, but the wyvern isn't weak enough to sink with ordinary attack magic, and I don't think the wyvern would come down to the range of the knights' physical attacks.

From the looks of it, Gulliver seems to be stronger and smarter than Cyclops and Trolls.

Still, there won't be enough difference between Gulliver alone to overwhelm Cyclops and Trolls.

If this was not an arena, but an open-air arena with obstacles and no time limit, I might be able to get away with it, but....

The leader of the demon army, Marquis Samonth, also had a difficult look on his face as he just barely approached the fighting table.

In this situation, the referees gave the signal to start the match.

As soon as the signal was given, the wyvern took off and Cyclops and the trolls stepped forward and became a wall.

The other team didn't seem to basically change their formation. The only difference between this formation and the one we saw before was that the wyvern was set up over the position the warriors were in, making it feel like an anomalous 3-1-1.

In contrast, the demon soldiers were led by Gulliver, with two rows of knights a little behind him.

Seeing that the referees had moved away, the demon soldiers began to move forward, keeping their formation intact.

The other team seemed to take the form of intercepting the demon soldiers, and as a small check, the wyvern spat out a fireball.

The fireball is about 40 centimeters in diameter, and although it seems to have a decent amount of power, its speed is a bit slow, and it seems to take a few seconds to continue spitting fireballs.

The first and second shots of the demon soldiers moved left and right and dodged, but the third shot was close enough to hit them because of the distance.

However, Gulliver clubbed the approaching fireball and deflected it back. The club that played the fireball appeared to have broken, scattering fragments, but the fragments seemed to be only surface objects, and from the middle of the club to the end of the club, a thick metal rod was exposed.　

It seems that the club that Gulliver was holding was not all made of wood, but had a metal rod inside the core, and the black metal rod may be made of magic iron.

In the meantime, the tamer seemed to have given the order, and the cyclops and trolls attacked Gulliver. Perhaps they thought it was a bad idea for Gulliver, who had a sturdy weapon, to approach them.

Maybe the tamer thought that Gulliver (his family members) would not be willing to spend money on the weapons they use.

The tamer himself did not allow his own family members to carry weapons. It's a ridiculous thing to spend money on tools (weapons) of your family members, so they wouldn't spend money on them either.

Like Namitaro said, if it was a second-rate or lower tamer, it might be possible.

Moreover, even though they are attacking, they don't seem to have any idea of cooperation between the two bodies, they just raise their arms and go towards them. It seems that they are not able to give proper instructions.

That's why a distance has been created between the cyclops and the slow-footed troll.

Depending on how you look at it, it looks like Cyclops versus the Onion Soldiers (one against five).

The moment Cyclops approached Gulliver, the knights jumped out from behind Gulliver to the left and right.

This caused him to turn to the knights for a moment.

Gulliver didn't miss the opening for Cyclops and gave him a strong body hit. Cyclops, who was hit, fell down, engulfing the trolls who were behind him.

Gulliver tried to chase after the two bodies, which were struggling to get up, but was blocked by the gliding wyvern.

Gulliver attacked the Wyvern's spitting fireballs with his club, but the Wyvern broke away from the attack range before Gulliver's attack could come.

The knights, away from Gulliver's back, split up into pairs, one to perform the magical attack and one to defend against the other's magic, trying to close the distance between them and their opponents, but they couldn't get much closer due to the attacking magic released by the tamer and the wizard.

As the knights took their time, Cyclops and the troll tried to regain their stance and head towards the knights, but the moment they turned their backs, Gulliver kicked the troll in the face.

The slow-moving troll was slow to react to Gulliver's approach and rolled flamboyantly, but he seemed to have done less damage than expected and got back up quickly.

The Cyclops, on the other hand, struck at Gulliver the moment the troll was kicked.

Gulliver reacted to Cyclops' attack with his hands and defended himself, but the timing of the blow was just right as he was standing on one leg, and Gulliver was knocked down as well.

Cyclops repeatedly tried to stomp on Gulliver as he rolled, but Gulliver dodged the attack as he rolled and got up with the momentum of the roll.

However, he took the opportunity to turn the wyvern towards the knights, leaving the knights in a tight spot.

Quickly, Gulliver threw the club, which he hadn't let go of when he was rolled over, at the Wyvern.

The wyvern was in the midst of releasing fireballs at the knights, so they didn't seem to notice the flying cudgel as they had their backs to Gulliver.

The club, flying with a vertical rotation, hit the base of the wyvern's tail, making a loud dull sound and hitting it.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on a new one.

However, unlike earlier, it seems to have done quite a bit of damage as it flapped its wings with an awkward movement.

The knights were pinned down by the other team for a little while, but Gulliver immediately took care of it, so the fireballs spat out by the wyvern were less. That's why they didn't take a direct hit and didn't take much damage.

In a series of attacks and defenses between the two families, the opposing family members, including the wyvern, were all heading towards Gulliver, leaving him to fight three against one. However, this was a convenient development for the demon soldiers, so the knights did not dare to go to Gulliver's aid.

Impatient with this, the tamer called out to call for Cyclops alone, but due to the distance between the two sides, Cyclops didn't seem to hear the order.

While biting his tongue at that, the tamer unleashes his magician and attack magic on the knights who are coming towards him, sandwiched between them on either side.

But because the knights were divided into two groups unlike the previous days, the density of the magic attacks inevitably dropped, and the knights were coming at you at a faster pace than before.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your new job.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect.

On the other hand, Gulliver, who was three against one, was showing his lion's share of success.

Rather than taking on three of them at the same time, Gulliver focused his attacks on the Cyclops, being careful not to get attacked against the trolls, being approached and then moved away, being moved away and then being moved away, repeating the process to keep enough distance to always make them aware of him.

The wyvern seems to have only Gulliver completely in its sights, and so far it doesn't seem to be heading towards the knights, and doesn't seem to be too concerned about the distance.

Moreover, due to Gulliver's attack earlier, Wyvern's speed is much lower than it was at the beginning, and his attacks were messy as if his blood was on his head.

As expected, he wasn't spitting fireballs at his allies until he got them involved, but it seemed to be only a matter of time before he did.

Cyclops, whose attacks were being focused by Gulliver, was fistfighting with Gulliver at close range, but Gulliver completely surpassed him as far as technique was concerned, and he was unable to give him any effective hits from earlier, and he was constantly getting attacked and accumulating quite a bit of damage.

When Cyclops began to wobble and the three bodies' positions overlapped almost in a straight line, Gulliver made a big move.

Gulliver punched the wobbling Cyclops with all his might, rolled him over, ran towards the troll, and then jumped to gain momentum and stomped on the troll.

Then he jumped further from there again and punched the wyvern in the air above him.

Gulliver's fist caught the wyvern in the face, and the wyvern crashed down, screaming.

After that, Gulliver, who landed cleanly, ran to cover the knights, not even looking at the three bodies that were rolling and struggling.

With his subordinates defeated in an instant, the tamer became impatient and began attacking Gulliver, leaving the wizard to attack the knights.

The tamer sent stones flying towards Gulliver, but Gulliver ducked what he could duck, and if it was impossible, he knocked it off with his fists, ready to damage it, almost at the shortest distance to the tamer.

In addition to this, the tamer has created several 20cm thick walls of stone in front of Gulliver with the Stonewall, trying to buy time, but Gulliver smashed that too with his fists.

Gulliver's furious advance left the audience in a state of fear, but even more so in a state of excitement.

However, Gulliver is not unscathed. His body is bruised and his mind is exhausted from engaging in fisticuffs with Cyclops, watching out for the wyvern's attacks and attracting the trolls. Furthermore, his fists were spurting blood and were painful to watch as he punched at the approaching stone and destroyed the wall.

If Gulliver had the luxury of time, he would have avoided the tamer's magic even if he had to go a long way to avoid it. The only reason he was hitting her was because Gulliver himself was nearing the end of his physical strength.

Gulliver was in a hurry. And that impatience had created a huge gap.

The moment Gulliver smashed the last wall created by the tamer, Gulliver was blown forward. His back was engulfed in fire.

Suddenly, his fellow knights were startled and disturbed in their movements.

The fireballs continued to come at the fallen Gulliver.

Gulliver is rolling and dodging the fireballs, but he's been grazed by several shots and his strength is steadily diminishing.

The owner of the fireball (the wyvern) slowly stood up and began to flap his wings while checking out Gulliver's condition.

I don't know if it was an act that he had fallen down earlier, or if his recovery speed was fast, but here the troublesome enemy had revived.

The wyvern soared up into the sky above, gliding over Gulliver's eyes and hitting his body.

Gulliver quickly stood up, but his knees were trembling and he was unable to duck the wyvern.

The two knights moved to cover Gulliver, who was blown away, but this was blocked by the wizard's attack.

The tamer also started attacking the other knights, and the knights were completely stranded.

Moreover, the trolls that had been trampled by Gulliver had risen up and were approaching Gulliver, making the ground shake. As expected, the Cyclops remained down, but the defeat of the demon soldiers was coming thick and fast.

The knights were momentarily torn between going to support Gulliver and defeating the tamer, so their momentum was deflected by the half-heartedness of their actions, and Gulliver was also coming dangerously close to being wounded and exposed to the Wyvern's onslaught.

That's when the Wyvern got wide open. Then, just in time for the troll, the Wyvern rushed in at breakneck speed.

Gulliver noticed the Wyvern's intentions and quickly twisted around to avoid it, but he was a little too late.

The moment the wyvern slammed into Gulliver, the bitten Gulliver's left arm was ripped from around his shoulder and sent it flying through the air with fresh blood.

The troll didn't pause for the screaming Gulliver and delivered a powerful body blow.　

A scream went up from the audience as Gulliver rolled around in tatters.

Gulliver was squirming, unable to pass out due to the pain in his shoulder. Gulliver's body was bleeding profusely, and if he didn't, he was going to die of blood loss.

The wyvern was about to turn and attack again against Gulliver.

But then the referees waited.

'The match is over! The winner, 'Dendrobates'!

The referee declares the decision louder and louder than ever before.

Apparently, the Marquis has told the umpire to surrender.

The tamer heard this and apparently ordered the wyvern to stop the attack, and the wyvern stopped plummeting and began circling overhead.

But again, the trolls didn't seem to hear the order and were approaching Gulliver.

When the knights saw this, they started to run, but it was unlikely that they would be able to make it in time due to the distance.

Just as the troll gets a few meters closer to Gulliver, the troll suddenly begins to suffer.

If you look closely, you can see that the troll is holding his head down and looking at the tamer.

'You used it.'

Namitaro muttered when he saw the troll.

'Did you use it?'

Oh, that is the same as the slave's collar, which is designed to choke the master in response to his magic. It's a good idea to have a mechanism to make use of that suffering to do what you say.

It is said that normal slave collars are designed to allow you to make certain settings (e.g., do no harm to the Lord, obey the Lord's orders, etc.) before they are placed around your neck, and then close your neck when you break or threaten to break the settings, but the collars fitted to the trolls do not have that. Instead, the trolls' suffering is so powerful that they can choke you not only physically, but also magically, so depending on the amount of magic you've shed, you could die instantly.

Theamer gave another order to the suffering trolls to keep the magic flowing.

Upon hearing the order, the troll crawled away from Gulliver.

As the trolls were leaving, Marquis Sammons came running to Gulliver.

The Marquis of Samons was quite flustered and clung to Gulliver.

Several attendants came from behind the Marquis, pulling what looked like a large cart, and they were trying to get Gulliver on, but they couldn't get him on.

'I'm going to go for a minute.'

I left Namitaro to follow me to the fighting table, taking the pills from my bag.

I was stopped by an attendant on the way, but was easily let through when I told him that the Marquis of Samonth had asked me to help him.

I ran straight to Gulliver, briefly explained to the Marquis, who was surprised by my appearance, and began to treat him.

'Will Gulliver be saved!

Knowing it was disrespectful to the excited Marquis, but half ignoring him, he continued to heal the knights while giving them instructions.

First, he cast a spell on Gulliver, dulling his sense of pain before looking at the wound, but it was worse than he thought.

The wound was shredded from being bitten and torn off by the wyvern, and it was also quite dirty from rolling on the platform. Moreover, the inside of the mouth of the wyvern that the tamer was using couldn't be unclean, so there was a need to be concerned about pathogens.

So, the first thing I did was wash the wound with clean water (using water magic) and remove any visible debris.

Then I disinfected it with poisonous magic and high purity alcohol, just in case. The purpose of using high-purity alcohol was to kill pathogens, but it seems to have stained the wound and made Gulliver go a little wild, but the knights soon suppressed him and Gulliver soon realized it and put up with it, so there was no damage.

The next step is to align the torn arm that was treated as well with the shoulder, carefully adjusting its position and connecting it with magic.

I tried to connect it from the inside as much as possible, but the wound was so tattered that it was difficult to see, so I thought that in the worst case, I might not be able to move my arm, but it seems that the nerves were connected because my fingers were moving after I connected them.

The rest of the time, I used a clean cloth to secure the shoulder so that it wouldn't move, and then I had him use the cloth to support his arm by the neck, just like he did when he broke it.

As a final touch, they gave Gulliver a mouthful of blood booster, medicine to increase his resistance to disease, an anti-inflammatory and painkiller.

The medicines were of natural origin and he had tried them himself a few times, so he should have no problem using them at the same time.

'At any rate, this should give him a non-life threatening effect for now. However, it's almost a first aid measure, and since we've given top priority to saving your life, please just be prepared to not be able to move your arms like before, and although we've disinfected them, there's still a chance that you may contract an infection.　

I turned to the Marquis as he finished his treatment and explained that, and to my surprise, he was ragged with tears.

''Thank you! Thank you so much! I'll make sure to repay you for this!

The Marquis grabbed my hand firmly and shook it up and down violently while uttering words of thanks.

After shaking my hand about a dozen times, he hurriedly went back to Gulliver.

The pain seems to have eased considerably and Gulliver is able to move on his own to some extent, and with the help of the knights, he was able to get into the Daihachi cart.

It is a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

As I followed the Marquis and the others to the doorway area, one of the referees spoke to me with an apologetic look on his face.

''I'm sorry, but Temma will have a match soon after this, so please wait here.''

I've been told that Gulliver's treatment is at my own discretion, so I can't allow him to take any unnecessary breaks, and he wants me to wait here for Namitaro and the others to arrive.

I'm not so tired that I have no complaints about the referees' decision, but they seemed to be concerned about it.

So I told the referees that it was a natural decision and I didn't care about it, and left the magic bag with them.

While waiting for Namitaro and his team, the opposing team came first and went up to the stand, and soon after, Namitaro and his team arrived.

I'm glad Gulliver was saved. Gulliver was lucky to be saved. We have to win this game to defeat Gulliver.

We waited for the referee's signal, with Namitaro in the lead.
