Chapter 55: She Leaked
===A Certain Undead With Communication Disorder===
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The female Holy Knight's spear struck the jet-black vortex.
The blinding light from the spear scattered some densely packed mana in the vortex.

But that scattered mana was only a fraction of the whole.
Moreover, the chipped part was quickly restored by the mana around it.
And as if reacting to that attack, a jet-black stream flowed out at once from the vortex and formed into some sort of monster.
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Every single one of them was huge.
Their aim was clearly to eliminate us. It was as if the vortex itself was alive.
Be careful! They're coming!
Fireball x10
I fired 10 fireballs at once.
Although I sealed this one when we fought in the forest to avoid setting the forest ablaze, it was probably fine to use this magic in this place.
None of those fireballs missed their target. They set ablaze whatever they impacted, creating blazing fire pillars as they baked their targets to ashes.
HOT?! HEY, DON'T USE THAT MAGIC INDOORS AGAIN, EVER!
M-My bad
Oops, I forgot that there was a normal human beside me.
Although the heat had no effect on me, it seemed that the hot wind alone was enough to scald the female Holy Knight's skin.
But that was the only magic I could use
Oh forget it, I should just use my bare hands next time.
After the fire died out, the monsters had already been reduced to ashes.
Those powerful-looking monsters in just a moment.
The female Holy Knight has this dumbfounded look on her face.
At that moment, the second wave of monsters had already formed.
Moreover, it seemed these new monsters had resistance toward magic and fire.
They were clearly created to counter my fireball.
Yeah, this vortex was alive after all.
Well, it was not like I could use fireballs anymore.
Thus, I fought the approaching monsters with nothing but my punch.
I'll fight too!
I exterminated the monsters who appeared from the vortex along with the female Holy Knight, one by one.
Yup, this vortex learned the behavior of its opponent after all. The moment it saw that we couldn't be defeated with small fry, it summoned a giant monster this time.
A giant disaster-class monster, Atlas.
But I dispatched that one with a single punch. Next, it created formless monsters that had their own wills such as liquid metal and black mist.
They were extremely troublesome monsters since neither magical nor physical attacks worked on them.
However, they had fatal weaknesses.
My intuition told me that I could use wind magic to scatter the black smoke and cooling magic to freeze the liquid metal.
EH! Even if you say that such a variety of attacks is
It's troublesome. Well, shall we try to see how much I can do?
I leaped toward the black mist monster, punching it with everything I had.
The shockwave created from my punch annihilated the black mist monster in just a moment.
Rather than worrying about me, we should take a look at whats coming out next!
When I turned around to see the vortex again after she reminded me of that fact, what appeared next was a new, angry monster.
Kuh just what should I
Even the female Holy Knight started to get impatient due to her slowly depleting stamina and the seemingly never-ending fight.
At this rate, theres no stopping this vortex. But even my holy spear can only leave a shallow chip on its surface In addition, physical attacks don't seem to work on it either
Sure enough, it looked like my brute power wouldnt work on it.
At that moment, I got a flash of inspiration.
Then, how about drilling my mana into it?
Ma na?
There's a saying, hand for hand, teeth for teeth, mana for mana, right?
Thus, I unleashed my mana for the second time, focusing it on my right fist.
I kicked the ground beneath me, jumping toward the center of the vortex while killing the incorrigible monster who stood in my way with my shoulder tackle.
HA.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The ground split open along with a thunderous explosion when I punched the center of the vortex, creating a giant crater as if a meteor had just fallen there
Spiderweb-like cracks traveled on the floor, continuing to the wall. The part that was already on the verge of crumbling before we came had finally collapsed for real.
The vortex of mana dispersed in a single blow.
There wasn't even a trace of it left.
Whoops, I added a bit too much strength.
I turned around in hurry, seeing the female Holy Knight sitting on the cracked floor with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Are you okay?
Y-Y-Yesh.
Thank God.
Her voice trembled a bit, but just as she said, she wasn't scared of me.
=== A Certain Female Holy Knight===
WAIT, WAIT WAIT WAIT, THAT WAS FRICKING SCARY, RIGHT?!
I almost screamed at the top of my lungs.
Somehow, I managed to suppress my urge at the last minute to keep my pride as a Holy Knight.
The vortex of mana had completely vanished, replaced with a giant crater on the floor, the place where that undead punched before.
What a terrifying mana explosion.
I didn't even feel this scared when I was gazed at by the two Dragon Emperors back then.
A great-disaster-class being.
The young man before me was worthy of that title.
Although it was just an indirect hit, the blast from his mana-imbued punch alone was enough to make me weak in the knees, unable to stand anymore.
On the contrary that was lea Wait, I should stop that dangerous thought. It must be sweat. Yeah, I was not leaking.
Heck, what was I even thinking about in this kind of situation?
The reason why I and others could approach him without fear was simply that he concealed the true amount of his mana without letting it leak.
Are you okay?
Y-Y-Yesh.
And yet, it was impossible for me to hate him when I knew that he was a good guy.
I desperately kept my cool facade.
Honestly, I was wondering whether it was okay for me to bring this white-haired man back to our holy country.
My heart started to feel such doubt.
