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

Honestly, I don't think this vampire (Geold) crusade is a B-rank request.

I can't believe the Vegan's ability to fight is quite high and he can even use the Shrinkage Method, which would not be an opponent to beat a regular B-rank Adventurer.

At least the A-rank is certain. If I do poorly, I might be classified as a S-rank request.

That said, blaming the Adventurer Guild is wrong.

In the first place, it seems that no other B-rank adventurer could pull it out until Geold's Shrinkage Act.

If we lose and go back alive, the rank of the request will be reconsidered.

Geold, who can fight a stronger opponent, might rather be pleased...

"Hmm, you don't seem too surprised. Do you know anyone who can use this shrinkage method?

"You don't have to answer that."

Intelligence is one of the weapons.

Because I'm not as bold as Geold to reveal my weaknesses...

"Well, naturally. Now, let me spare no effort in using the shrinkage method."

Using the shrinkage method again, Geold shows up in front of me and releases a kick.

Let's be honest.

It's against the rule that only the opponent can use the shrinkage method!

Even then, I activate the shrinkage method and move toward the unreachable kick of Geold.

"What!?

"Ha!!!

Stunning, a flash of clearance slashes him where he was born.

"Ku!"

Geold used the shrinkage method to avoid it, but my slaughter arrived more quickly for a moment.

Geold, who was moving ahead with the shrinkage method, was holding down his injured left arm.

"No way. I didn't think you could use the shrinkage method... Oh man, are you saying that awkward people still don't have enough training, such as getting upset and eating attacks..."

"Compared to you, distance and accuracy are still low."

"Originally, the essence of shrinkage is not distance. Nevertheless, don't react as if you had fought many times with the users of Shrinkage?

"Yeah, well..."

When I was training for the shrinkage method, I remembered that Senior Maria had snubbed me and I almost chipped.

I don't get chills and stuff in battle, but I can't help it because it's traumatic.

During that training, the technique of successfully fighting at short distances was a must-have technique.

"Mmm...... Then the experience of Awkward vs. Shrinkage may be exceeded."

Without the use of the shrinkage method around you, the experience of the measures would not increase.

In that sense, I guess I'm blessed to have a lot of non-standard people around me in the sense of experience with countermeasures.... and at the same time more trauma is respectful.

"No, what about taking this opportunity to fully increase your experience? Mmm, that's good. Claude and I are gonna get you to be awkward practitioners."

"Oh, no, I'd like you to give me a break if you can..."

"No questions asked!

Geold rolls out the shrinkage at me.

I also fight with the shrinkage method, so the two of us are feathers of high-speed mobile combat.

"Hey, hey! Give me a break! Will you give me a break!

While traveling in, I can't help but have my voice flying.

"No! I haven't seen anyone this fun in a long time! Take the Awkward to higher ground!

I entertained him enough in a way, so he might get out of this forest in case he loses.

That's not why I'm deliberately going to lose.

Besides...

"Don't forget us!

"That's right!"

That's how Coco and Sicily have been intruding into high-speed combat.

The two cannot use the shrinkage method.

But that's not why I'm leaving you.

The way I fight using the shrinkage method and other members support it is well trained.

"WOW! Get out of my way!

"I told you you were good for more than one-on-one!

"That's right ~!"

While attacking, Coco and Sicily supported my shrinkage method and moved to interrupt Georg's shrinkage method.

"I don't have a choice! Crush one at a time first!

With that said, Geold saw Mr. Julia not taking part in the high-speed fight.

I'm not the best at melee fights in this, I'd be going after Mr. Yulia.

... is certainly a powerful skill.

In an instant, you can pack your time and launch an attack.

After an attack, it works even when used to evade it.

Then how to prevent it (...).

"'Stonewall'!

As soon as Geold activated the shrinkage method, "Stonewall" was activated by Julia.

Spirit Magic is a skill that is influenced by the spirits on the spot, but can be used with a variety of magic.

There is no Spirit of Light because it is dim. The equivalent of magic cannot be used, but since it is in the woods, the equivalent of magic can be used.

'Stonewall', as its name suggests, creates stone walls in designated places.

"Wow!"

Geold shouts directly at the stone wall himself.

Yes, the best way to deal with shrinkage is to 'put obstacles in the direction of progress'. That's all.

I can't fool around with that effect because I can't stop along the way.

Strong skills are not the only thing we can use.

If the opponent has used powerful skills, how to deal with them is a pretty important element in the fight.

Therefore, in terms of known skills, all measures have been considered and trained.

Of course, you can see the countermeasures against the shrinkage method.

With that training, anyone who decides to penetrate the 'firewall' decides not to speak here. It was hot.

Anyway, we shouldn't miss this gap.

"Ha ha!!!

"Eat it!

"Eh!

Me, Coco and Sicily attack Geold, who is groaning.

"Mmm!"

Combined with a direct hit on 'Stonewall', it should have taken a lot of damage.

But although our attack was scratchy, it was never profound.

"You're lying!?

"Uh-huh."

"It's not working!?

It's not like there's no damage. Still, even though he attacked with enough momentum to stab the stomach, Geold stood.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to take any damage so far..."

"It's the line over here! Why are you still safe?

"It's not safe. Awkward people are born sturdy. I don't care if you can't do it or get hurt. I've worked out a little too much because of that..."

"I'm not kidding..."

Really how could a vampire opponent like this be a B-rank request......

If I don't win this far, I'll finally have to cut off some of my wife's hands.

"But you've taken a lot of damage.... I don't know what else to do with him. Let me show you what I got."

If you think so, they're going to cut the trump card first.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!!"

Geold shouted out suddenly.

At the same time, Geold's body swells, deforms and discolors.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

When his voice disappeared, Geold, who was there, was no longer on a good level to say he was someone else.

"You kept me waiting. This is the trump card of the Awkward, the Dragon Blood Awakening.

It was' dragon 'if that's what I said Geold in a nutshell.

While his whole body was discoloured black and shaped close to the human body, his head was clearly what he called a dragon.

The wings I hadn't put out before are similar to the wings of a bat, but their power was a misdigit.

"Apparently, my ancestors have dragons, and my awkward man and brother have strange powers. The brother is overcoming the sun on the vampire's ass, and the awkward turns into a dragon on the vampire's ass. In particular, this figure is severely depleted and must be circulated in the body without the use of magic from time to time. Because of that, I was interested in vampire-like body surgery."

I guess he's changing into a dragon and his mood is booming.

Geold, who rapped more than ever, explained it all to me.

"So that's your true trump card, isn't it?

"Oh, you're right. There are other bills that I can cut, but I don't have any more. Be proud, it's been 100 years since my brother and I had a brotherly fight."

"Did the brotherly fight make you look like that!? I mean, I'm not very happy with the way you put it, and I'm not proud of you."

"Mmm...... By the way, in that fight, the awkward won."

"I didn't ask..."

Using Dragon Blood Awakening is probably too much for Geold.

Sure, I feel unparalleled power.

No, you can't.

On the bill I was going to hang up now, it's not very much, but it's not going to be the target of Dragon Blood Awakening.

Really, I didn't think I had to get this far...

"Mr. Yulia. Let's cut the trump card too."

"Maybe..."

"Yes, I would place a burden on Yulia..."

"No, never mind. Coco, can I have Sicily, too?

"Of course!"

"That's right!"

"Well, are you going to cut the trump card too? Funny, let me see!

Yulia meditates and declares.

"I'm going!" Call Element "Wind! Aqua! Light!

Yulia summoned the Spirit of the Wind, the Spirit of the Water, and the Spirit of Light by.

Although a contract with the Spirit is necessary, it can be more effective than ordinary magic because it requires the Spirit to use magic directly.

Three lights appeared, each turning into a shining girl about 30 cm.

"Julia. Called?"

This green girl is the Spirit of the Wind. He signed with Yulia in the middle of a request when he was in C-rank.

"Would you like to call? Dear Yulia,

The next girl to shine blue is the Spirit of Water. One time he came flabbergasted and had sworn allegiance to Mr. Yulia. I don't try to talk about why, but maybe you know what happened before Mr. Julia lost her memory.

"Ah, Mr. Claude, Ohisa. How many? What kind of help do you need? Leave it to Mr. Dawn!

This light, wasn't, bright sister is the Akali of the Spirit of Light.

She also thanked me for the help she had given me in the request and signed the contract...... should be.

"Well, the Spirit. You mean seven people, including that Spirit?

"No, you're not."

I shake my head sideways. [M]

Certainly, there is something about having the Spirit fight himself.

But in that case, I would leave all the instructions to the Spirit and the supply of MP to Mr. Julia.

That would be too much of a burden.

So I thought...

"'Spiritualization', please"

Yes.

I'll take care of it.

Whoa!

Along with Yulia's signal, the three spirits became lumps of light again, hitting me, Coco and Sicily, the three of them.

At the same time, the same aura rose from our bodies as the color of the Spirit.

"This is the 'spiritualization' of our trump card. We will fight for the spirit that Yulia summoned. Advantages include that our ability to maintain the Spirit reduces Julia's burden and greatly strengthens our own physical abilities, adding power to the magic of each attribute."

The downside is that the magic consumption is too intense to last long, and after solving the 'spiritualization', it can't move properly for a while, but you don't have to explain that much.

By the way, "Spiritualization" goes with the Spirit, I can only equip the Spirit of Light, Coco can only equip the Spirit of Wind, Sicily can only equip the Spirit of Water.

Now that Yulia has a contract with three people: Wind, Water and Light, I, Coco, Sicily and Yulia often work together when separating members.

"Oh no! I've never even heard of such a technique! You guys are really great. So, do you want to start a fight to decorate the end!

"I'm going!

The battle from there became more intense than ever.

Calling as many as three spirits is burdensome, and using 'spiritualization', Mr. Julia can barely move.

So Sicily, equipped with water spirits, accompanies Mr. Yulia's escort.

It's really best for me to protect the shield gear, but they say the only effective hit on Geold is given to me equipped with the Spirit of Light, so I can't help it.

"I won't let you through!"

"Shh! You're moving extraordinarily better than ever!

"That way!

Sicily stopped Geold from attacking Mr. Yulia.

Equipped with the Spirit of the Wind in that gap, the quicker Coco takes aim at Geold from behind.

"Sweet!"

But Geold's ability is also greatly improved, jumping and avoiding as if he were seeing an attack from behind.

I also wield a slash toward the landing site, but it doesn't strike Geold, who is particularly vigilant in my attack.

Even if you type in Light Magic, it will be avoided.

"Not yet! Come punch in more! When this predicament is overcome, the awkward reach further heights!

Geold's tension is also culminating.

But even so, Geold's way of fighting has changed slightly from before.

There are fewer and fewer things that say technology without gaps, avoidance by simple abilities, and more attacks.

Evidence of this is that Geold has not used the shrinkage method since the use of Dragon Blood Awakening.

... Though it may simply be 'Stonewall' alert.

"Ku! You didn't hit the attack!

"Coco, calm down!

"I know!... Shh, ha"

It doesn't strike, and it starts to irritate me.

If you don't calm down, you won't win anything you can win.

That said, there is no mistake that it is quite a stifling poverty.

Geold also said things like there was a time limit, but I don't know how long that's going to be.

By contrast, it's clear we don't have much time left here.

The battle went on further and finally came to the point where we could not maintain 'spiritualization' for another three minutes.

Simple time runs out and we lose. [M]

Exactly, come this far. I don't like that!

Even if you go on a bet, you'll have to decide on a battle.

I activate the shrinkage method, and while approaching Geold suddenly, I launch a slash that swings down from the top.

"Ha!!!

"WOW!!!

Geold dodges it backstep.

I take one more step from there, slashing upwards from shaking off my sword.

It's a "swallow return" that imitates appearance.

When I told Jen about the moves Mr. Kuga had used in the B-rank exam, he taught me.

"Around!"

Successfully cleaved Geold's body shallow.

With the Spirit of Light abode, it works immensely for Geold.

But when I'm forced to take out a second slaughter, I'm completely disoriented.

Geold couldn't have missed the gap, and the fist rolled out to me.

I shrug in my heart in a world that feels slightly sloppy.

Please.

Let me go!

From my body, Mr. Akali, the Spirit of Light, jumped out.

"Spiritualization" was lifted in a critical manner.

I give almost all the remaining MPs to Mr. Acari and have them unleash < light magic >.

"Gwwwwwwwwww!!!!"

When I heard Geold scream, I let go of consciousness because of the depletion of the MP.
