95 Herald Episode 3 Adventurer Claude's Adventure Tan (2/5)

After that, as planned, we headed to the woods where vampires appeared.

Keep the carriage in the city and walk from here.

Exactly, because I can't let a carriage in the woods, and I don't like leaving a carriage in front of the woods where no one else is.

From there I walked for over half an hour and arrived safely in the woods with vampires.

The demons around here aren't very strong, so it took very little combat time, so these 30 minutes are almost pure travel time.

"Deep woods."

As Coco shrugged, the trees are quite lush, the sky doesn't look busy even though it's daytime, and it's pretty dark.

Vampires don't like the sun, so I guess it's just fine in the dark woods.

"That's scary."

Sicily says in a relaxed tone.

Sicily speaks fast when she can't afford it, so I guess there's plenty of room on the back for what the words are about.

"We're both too distracted. This is the enemy's home now."

"" Yes ""

I still feel out of my mind, but I guess I shouldn't tell you.

There are no paved paths or anything in the woods, and they go on like beast paths.

It starts with me, followed by Coco, Sicily, and Julia in a row.

I haven't encountered a single demon since I went into the woods, and there's no sign of it around.

Perhaps he was either defeated by vampires or fled without fear to vampires.

"It's about time..."

"Right."

"Yeah."

"Ha ~ i"

According to pre-confirmed information, it should be time to run out of beast paths and out into open spaces.

We're talking about vampires using it as a place to fight.

"Here..."

Then right out into the space as we talked about.

It was about 100 meters circular, and there was only an unnaturally low tree space there.

I guess it's because we're fighting over and over. There is a faint smell of blood in the air.

Though few have died, it must be true that a good number of humans have bled.

"Hmm, four this time. I hope he's a little toothy..."

What I've been waiting for there is naturally a vampire.

With eyes as red as blood and fangs stretched out, you can't go wrong with being a vampire.

But honestly, I'm not impressed with the vampire I thought I was.

Long hair dressed in black or purple and caped is what I have of a vampire.

But the vampire in front of him was bald and dressed in white strange clothes. Belt, is it? He tied something like a black hippo around his waist.

It's not what I thought, but there's absolutely no gap in standing, so I know that just confronting each other means being strong.

"You're the vampire, aren't you? I've been asked to crusade you or expel you from the woods in the Adventurers Guild. I say Claude."

"I'm here, too."

Sicily.

It's Julia.

"Well, do you name yourself the Awkward Opponent who is a demon first?... The Awkward's name is Gioldo the Vampire. Now I'm training for the top of the martial arts."

Looks like it's for the fight after all.

"Well, you may know I'm here, but I'll ask you something. Who among the troublemakers fights the awkward? Of course, it doesn't matter if it's 4-on-1."

"Well, sweeten your words and we'll fight together."

He seems to mind being multi-on-one, and has normally allowed this one to try multiple.

Licking, I don't think. I guess that's all confidence and track record.

"Fine. If you want to surrender, you should say so sooner. I'm not going to attack anyone who doesn't want to fight."

"Okay. You must surrender as soon as possible."

"Damn, I've never said that to an awkward opponent before!

Saying so, Geold opened his legs back and forth without a weapon and dropped his hips as he was half-baked.

I don't care how you look at it, it's a battle posture, so we set up weapons, too.

"It's fun talking to a young man with momentum, but as an awkward man, I prefer to fight. Come on, let's talk fully with our fists next!

"Uh, me, I use a sword..."

"... Let's go!

My penetration was ignored and Geold ran out this way.

"Coming!

"I'll stop!

The basics of the party is that I'm the shield man first to step forward and stop the attack.

Stick out your shield to block Geold's direction of travel and block your vision and direction of travel. If possible, my people will attack me in that gap.

"No use."

"Huh?"

That said, Geold joins hands with my shield. [M]

"Huh!"

"Whew!?

I was blown away the moment Geold put his strength into it and thought it moved a little.

"Claude!"

"Mr. Claude!

"Claude, are you okay?!?"

"It's okay, because it's not that damaging!

Less damage, but not knowing what was done is a problem.

I'm sure it was caused by the palm that hit the shield, but Geold's little move and how I blew it didn't match.

Did you even use any magic?

To Geold opponents, is it bad to defend with a shield...?

... No. The battle is still at the beginning and the beginning, and we don't need to narrow our options here.

"What's up? Are you done yet?

"That's not true!

Coco throws a dagger for restraint.

"Hmm."

Geold bounces his back fist off the belly of a dagger that goes straight to his face.

Still, I just bought a little time, so I get in shape for that gap.

"It's probably quite a strong enemy. Fight as hard as you can not to create blind spots."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Ha ~ i"

Earlier exchanges alone proved to be quite powerful when it comes to melee combat.

Maybe better than us in personal combat. [M]

If they destroy each one, they lose their winning eye.

"Have you decided on an operation? Okay, let's go again!

More than earlier, intercept Geold with a reduced distance from his companions.

Just because you fail once doesn't mean you won't need a shield. Intercept Geold's attack with a shield one more time.

I'll figure out what they did this time.

"This time!

Set up a shield with your eyes gazed more than you did earlier.

"Don't use the same hands twice."

"Huh!? Grr!"

Gioldo has released a jump kick at the shield he set up.

Upon receiving it, Geold jumped right over me with the momentum intact.

Release a kick toward Yulia, who was largely behind me.

"Grr!"

Mr. Julia, who manages to take the kick unleashed against his belly with his arm, is greatly disfigured.

Mr. Julia, the magician, can do melee fights, too, but he'll be tough when he tells his Geold opponent if it works.

"" "Mr. Yulia!

"Never mind! In this gap!

Ms. Yulia demanded that Geold be attacked more than her own recovery.

"Eh!

"Eat it!

Sicily and Coco, who were nearby, attack more than me, a little further away.

"Ugh!"

When Giordo breathes in, he takes it by trying to pinch Sicily's spear aside, which is likely to reach him, and hits Sicily's body straight towards Coco.

"Lying!"

"Aah!"

Sicily and Coco rolled away screaming.

"You're more monstrous than I thought."

"It's a demon, so it's natural."

Geold returns it to me lightly. [M]

No, because ordinary demons don't use those moves.

This could be tough if you don't go pretty tight......

"What if it's time to use magic instead?

"Why..."

We couldn't hide our surprise at Geold's urging.

Sure, we can use magic, but we've never used it before.

There's no way this vampire knows.

"Some of your ways of fighting were adjusted to make magic easier to use. I was looking forward to seeing when it would come, but I didn't use it inside, so I decided to remind him."

"Do you know that?"

"If you're fighting, you'll see"

Damn.

Sure, the way we fight makes it possible to incorporate magic, but I didn't know you'd notice that in a little exchange right now...

"That's outrageous..."

"Yeah, I'm pretty used to fighting more than I thought. Mr. Claude, let's use magic."

"Right."

"What are you showing me?

"As you wish, it's magic."

Currently, we have restrictions on the use of magic.

Of course, there are a number of reasons for that, but the biggest of them is because 'too strong'.

Our magic was given to us by our master, Jen.

Due to your husband's abilities, our magic becomes more powerful the more we defeat the wizard.

Having survived so many battles as B-Rank Adventurers, our magic was incredibly powerful when we realized it.

How outrageous is that, in a nutshell, 'S-rank'?

Before our strength, only magic has reached the level we deserve to call S-rank.

To be honest, that's a long way off our purpose.

We don't want great power that doesn't match our strength. [M]

That's why we set limits on the use of magic.

-The opponent who can defeat without using magic, defeat without using magic.

-If you use magic, pull up the magic you use step-by-step by the strength of your opponent.

It's hard to defeat Geold without magic, and most importantly, he wants it, so we chose to unlock magic.

Of course, there's nothing confusing about tactics that incorporate magic, because I train them every day.

"Well, you finally use magic. Yeah, I'll tell you first. Awkward people don't like light magic. You're a vampire."

"Do you publish your weaknesses yourself!?

"Um, if you remember Light Magic and can afford it, you should definitely use it. If you can't beat that much, you're far from the 'strongest' seat."

I didn't think I would publish my weaknesses from myself......

Is that a lie? No, it doesn't look that way, and even if it was a lie, it would be worth a try.

In the first place, you're a vampire opponent, so if you're going to use it, there's no doubt that Light Magic was the first candidate. Let's just use it.

"Then I'll go!" Lightball "!

I activated Level 1 Lightball.

My level is 1, so only "Lightball" can be activated without chanting.

By the way, I'm the only one in the Adventurers group who possesses Light Magic.

"Wow!

That's right, Geold speaks up in admiration, too.

He didn't assume it until.

"Huh!"

Geold avoids' Lightball '.

I manipulate 'Lightball' before flying anywhere and try to hit Geold again.

"Lightball" has the characteristic of being able to manipulate the direction of travel even after activating magic.

Instead, the bullet speed is slower than other ball-based magic, though.

"You're a pigsty!

- Bash!

Geold leaps on the spot, kicks off affordable tree branches and kicks them off as they are.

A kicked out tree branch is hit by a 'light ball' and offset.

I wish I could slash him off with a weapon if I were normal, but Geold can't take that option to fight only with his own flesh.

"Can magic be used in... Damn, that's still funny. Thank you, this battle will make the awkward even stronger!

I thought I could make you panic a little bit, but they even enjoy that.

It's a pain in the ass to call a real battle freak with strength...

Then for a while, the battle with Geold continued.

Geold's way of fighting, in a nutshell, is' no gap '.

Even if you think you've got a gap right after Geold's attack, by the time the attack arrives, Geold will be in a good position to make this attack easy.

I know it's one of the reasons you don't have a weapon, but there's no use in offensive or defensive operations. I flush the attack with moves I've never seen before...

Maybe the first shock I took was one of those wasteless ways of attacking.

I was in a bit of a hurry when I found out it was a normal attack, not a trump card or anything.

However, he seems to be somewhat wary when it comes to the magic of < unchanging >, especially when it comes to < light magic >.

What failed was that if you activated the Light Magic during the battle without saying anything, you might have had a chance to guess.

We've wasted valuable first-sight attacks.

Probably because of my vigilance against magic.

Geold can't come after him any more than he needs to. I guess he hated overlapping the chase to create a gap and being able to put < light magic > on that gap.

Apart from that, it also seems to be our purpose to measure our strength.

Of course, we have one or two trump cards. I'm not going to use it that easy......

"Hmm, that's some local power inside. Most adventurers have already surrendered or are dead."

"I don't give a damn if I compliment you."

"That's what you say when you put one of those scratches on an awkward man."

We still haven't been given effective hits against each other.

Neither have I suffered so much damage as a shield. [M]

The blow to Mr. Yulia earlier was shallow, so it doesn't seem to interfere with his behavior.

"Hmm, the battle's glued. There's still going to be bills there, and let me cut one of those awkward trump cards here."

The next moment, Geold showed up in front of me and let go of the poke.

"Come on!"

Set up a shield in a hurry.

Geold spreads his hand just before hitting the shield, blowing me with every shield just like he had used it the first time.

Shit. I was thinking about measures, but I couldn't afford to use them.

"Whew!"

I blew up and got slapped straight to the ground.

"" "Claude!

"Because it's okay!

Get up and get in shape immediately.

Whatever you think, it's the shrinkage method.

She showed me Senior Maria's shrinkage method many times, and I've used it myself many times, so I'm pretty sure.

Besides, Geold's shrinkage will certainly be higher than mine.

Wouldn't you be comparable to Senior Maria if you did poorly?
