Volume 7 Chapter 12: Let’s Keep Going Forward
"Wind blade!" "Flame spear!" Alfia and Scarlet fired off their magic at the bulls, hitting them dead! Burned and shredded to a crisp.
"Excellent work, everyone," Keith commented, his voice filled with relief. Before he could utter another word, a sudden warning cut through the air, "Arlo, watch out!"
"Eh?" A dark shadow zipped out of the grasses, prepared to strike at Arlo! However, someone else caught it.
"What the?! There's another bull!" Jack quickly moved in front of Arlo, blocking the blow. He was surprised. They were so focused on the two in front that they couldn't hear some coming from the side.
"Hah!" Melor raised his hammer, smacking the bull away from the wings. But that was when more came out!
"!" Herrick's ears twitched, "Keith, there's a lot more here!"
"Why is there so many?!" The entire group was surrounded by a group of bulls! Keith shook his head, "Herrick, Melor, go protect the south and east. Gabriel, Faelyn, you deal with the north while I cover the west. The rest behind us!"
"Understood!" The formation quickly changed as they started to fight. This was a simple circle formation. Keith and the others protect the rest while Alfia and the supports fire their magic.
"They probably got drawn in by the sound of our fighting." From how loud they fought the two, it attracted a herd.
"Indeed." As a bull was about to get close to Keith, black chains wrapped around them, holding them there. It tried to move, but it only made the chains tighter.
"Hmpf!" Keith sliced the monster down. The fighting continued for some time before the monsters were down.
"Keith. These are cookable, right?!" Herrick and Melor's eyes glimmered excitedly as they held the bulls up.
"Yep. I think the bull meat is similar to the rush bull. We can cook it later to try." Keith smiled.
"Woohoo! Collect all of them!" Herrick and Melor went double time with collecting them.
"..." These two. How are they not tired? The two did the most against the others.
This group is doing good. Keith was satisfied with everyone's teamwork. Despite not working together as an entire group, things were running smoothly. Especially so with the wings. Two unexpected incidents happened to them. Yet, it was smooth. Leona was surprisingly a great flank protector. Despite her forward nature, she used a bow. Her calm and precise arrows took out the bull's eyes.
And she also had a good grasp of what Herrick wanted to do. Her coordination made it easier for the beastman to move freely. Is this the power of love? The thought made it interesting.
"Also, are you sure you don't want to wear a robe?" Keith turned to Scarlet. Alfia and Sarah wore some robes, but Scarlet didn't. Those robes apparently increase their magic power. Yet, she wore some light clothing and armor.
"I prefer something like that. Also, I'm a close-range mage. I'm able to fight monsters closer." A robe would only get in her way.
"I see." When Keith heard that, he knew he would need to change the formation quite a bit to make it work.
"Alright, let's keep going." Keith clapped his hands together. It was time for them to head in there and get more things done.
