Chapter 229.2 - Relight And Various Spirits 2

It was still fresh in my memories that the boss of the red dog that we defeated before could spit fire too.

And yet, the fire spat by Beniqo was bigger, and the emission time was much longer than the red dog boss.

「ABABABA!? GUBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

The goma archer couldn't dodge the flame and was instantly covered in flame. Now they were not in the condition to shoot their arrow again.

「Co-Cool...」

Beniwo moved on to the next goma archer immediately.

And then, when I looked at Beniwo spitting their fire again, I realized something.

「AH, FIRE SPIRIT!」

I saw the fire spirit sitting together on top of Beniwo's head.

I see now, the reason Beniwo's fire breath had so much firepower was because of the fire spirit assisting it.

But, why are the fire spirits helping Beniwo? ... Do they by chance prefer canines over felines?

「UBA! NDOUBA!」

「WOOPSIE, NOW I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR WITHOUT YER ARROW!」

I readied my iron spear and thrust it toward the goma's shabby-looking equipment.

My weapon is longer. That's why victory is mine!

「UWOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

I, who got completely absorbed into lunging my spear, stabbed right in the stomach of the gom―― Bleargh. Though imperfect, I just killed a humanoid monster. It couldn't be helped that I felt this nauseating feeling...

「Woof woof!」

I mean, I couldn't afford to be left behind, not when even the small Beniwo also did his best. I refuse to become a good-for-nothing master!

「ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「PUGUGU, RELighT, EnOUgH.」

When I was swinging my spear around, facing two gomas before me, Kinako who had already dealt with the main force of goma finished one of them in no time, with a single swing of his arm.

「Good job everyone.」

Then, he picked a pebble at his feet and threw it to finish off the other one while Beniwo rushed to the last goma archer and finished them off.

Eh, Kinako can throw stones as projectiles too... Then, what was that theory about the sole advantage that humans had over other creatures was the fact that they could use projectile weapons?

「Haah... As expected, I shouldn't lose my cool during the fight... Thank you Kinako, Beniwo. I really can't do anything without both of you.」

「Don'T WoRrY ReLigHT. We'Re ComRaDe.」

「MAstEr! Whiine!」

「I see... You're the best, dudes!」

One week had elapsed since the party that was overly reliant on Kinako and Beniwo had formed.

It might be just one week, but it was truly an important week.

I, whose role was reduced to a weak and helpless kid, had already accustomed to this slightly imperfect survival life while relying on the power of the spirits, Kinako, and Beniwo.

It had already become an everyday routine that we fought back the being called monsters such as goma who came to attack us.

Beniwo would create disturbance in the enemy's rank with his mobility and fire breath while Kinako would act as our main DPS. And lastly, there was me who had to do my best to protect myself from harm. With our outstanding cooperation, the goma party was no match for us.

We beat the monsters that came for us, save for the seemingly overpowering monsters such as the dragon-type; we hid while quaking in fear when we met one―― In such a way, we're advancing in the forest.

「But man, the forest looks the same from my perspective.」

「Don't screw with me... Why do all of us have to die because of my fault...」

Why were Beniwo and Kinako trying desperately to save a deadweight like me?

Why were they acting like idiots which would end with all of us dying here?

Yes, both of them should be able to survive if they just left me. Kinako was already a lone wolf, to begin with, and Beniwo could already hunt on his own.

I, on the other hand, was only baggage to them. Barely surviving in this forest thanks to them.

And yet, they regarded me as their comrade, going as far as risking their life to save me.

In that case, that was enough for me... I'm not going to let them die a stupid death along with me.

「――Dammit!」

And yet, I couldn't even gather my courage to shout 「Just ignore me and save yourself」.

Aah dammit, c'mon my brilliant mind, think of a way to escape from this situation!

Think of a way so that the three of us can surpass this predicament.

There must be something that I can do as the spiritualist――

「ReLIghT!」

「Master!」

「――GET AWAY YOU TWO! I'M ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS!」

I can do this, I'll do this. I only had one plan in my mind.

Let's make this big tree bastard regret the fact that it didn't kill me immediately!

「Okay, first is this... Ah no, this is a water pouch...」

By the time I got caught by the ivy, I had let go of my spear.

Though I let go of my weapon, I still had my school bag. Inside it were items that I plundered from the goma that I defeated.

And among the items was the oil―― Used for the torch.

「DUMP IT ALL!」

I turned my bag upside-down, pouring out the oil inside onto treant's trunk. It might be far from enough to burn this monster, but better to try than not.

「SINCE YOU'Re A TREE, FIRE SHOULD WORK AGAINST YOU!」

Then I ignited the oil. HERE WE COME, ART IS EXPLOSION!

「SPIRIT OF FIRE! BURN THIS GUY!」

「FIREUUUUUUUUP!」

「BWOOOOOOOOOOOSH!」

Responding to my shout, the fire spirits in my lighter fired themselves up to make the biggest possible fire.
