Chapter 511: Training is Over!

『Shall we go then?』

「Nn!」

「Woof!」

『Let’s take its magic stones and make it as the culmination of our training!』

「Okay. Brilliant Lightning Rush!」

Fran then jumps off of Urushi’s back while holding me. There’s a white smoke below us. It was the Greater Venom Ghast, but that’s not all.

「Don’t let that little girl get away this time!」

「Today is the day for us to kill her」

「This is an impossible fight for you!」

The Wight King was also there. Apparently, Fran had fought with the Wight King many times before. However the Wight King and the Greater Venom Ghast were always close to each other, and because of that, she had become too exhausted to defeat them so she had no choice but to retreat.

『Have you located where that Ghast’s magic stone is』

「No」

『Hmm... Let’s defeat the Wights first then』

「Understood」

『Urushi, take care of its subordinates!』

「Woof!」

In the past, this would have been a rather reckless instruction. Four Wight High Wizards and two Wight Imperial Guards against Urushi alone was too much for him to take care of. He would have only been able to take care of two of them.

However, it wasn’t impossible for the current Urushi.

「Woof!」

「――!」

With the use of his Dimensional Fang after his Shadow Transfer, he had immediately inflicted great damage on the High Wizard. They were capable of detecting space-time magic, but since Shadow Transfer was a skill in the same system as dark magic, they seemed unable to detect the surprise attack from this ability.

After that, he repeatedly used hit-and-run tactics to defeat the wights. Urushi, whose life force, defense, and regeneration had all increased compared to before, did not even budge from a few counter-attacks from them.

From time to time, he changed his body size and used deadly poison magic to create smoke and other substances that fly around among the wights to keep them at his mercy.

Of course, it was not an easy win. He was taking a few hits and occasionally he took some heavy damage from strong counterattacks. But that’s all. He never gets into a pinch where we have to intervene, and he never feels uneasy. There was a sense of steadiness and composure in his fight.

「What kind of wolf is that...!?」

「Urushi!」

「I’m not asking about its name! And how did you get here in such a short time...!」

「I’ve been training after all」

「If only training can make someone become that strong, then anyone would train!」

The Wight King was screaming at her, but Fran didn’t respond to his words and rushed forward.

「Master!」

『Oops! I forgot that we’re in a fight now!』

The smoke from the Greater Venom Ghast tried to surround us at once.

『The only thing left is this smoke guy huh... But how to find its magic stone?』

「Attack the ground again?」

The Wight King was the same, but I still couldn’t find the Ghast’s magic stone. No, I think there’s some sort of focus in its magic power, but I couldn’t trace it back to its source.

However, if I can feel this particular focus, then I can be sure that there is a magic stone nearby. It’s a good idea to use an AOE magic that engulfs the entire area.

As Fran and I were thinking about something, Urushi tried to appeal about something.

「Woof woof!」

『Could it be, that you know where its magic stone is?』

「Woof!」

『Then let’s do this!』

「Woooof!」

With a smug look on his face, Urushi bellowed and ran toward the air. With his momentum, he bit into the space in front of him. And then...

「Uuaaaaaa!」

As an eerie scream rose from the space, the smoke cleared at once. We thought the magic stone was in the ground, but it seems to have been hidden in the smoke. Perhaps it was being hidden with some kind of space-time magic ability. However, Urushi’s evolved senses did not miss the magic power of the magic stone. With his Dimensional Fangs, he would be able to attack it no matter what space it was in.

Well, we didn’t get its magic stone though, but we did defeat a troublesome opponent. So, I’ll give him an honest compliment.

『Good job!』

「Woof!」

「Urushi, good boy」

「Woof woof!」

Urushi, who had changed his size into a medium-sized dog was happy to be petted by Fran.

Even so, we’ve gotten a lot stronger. We were able to defeat an opponent that we had struggled with before with only a little bit of strain and minor injuries. We took on two magic beasts with a threat level of B and won.

「Fran-chan, Master, and Urushi. Now I’ve seen it with my own eyes, you guys are really getting stronger!」

「Thank you」

Amanda gave us a thumbs-up as approval when she praised us.

『Yosh, with this, our training is over!』

「Nn!」

「Woof!」
