66 Episode 61: No Pet Rods Come Out (Maybe)

The time goes back and moves when Kanna arrives at the camp.

"Sick"

A flash of a sword run by Chloe tears the goblin's throat, squirting blood and dying. Run one more sword while keeping the falling figure at the edge of the view. Each time she wielded a sword, the goblin's life was lost.

The mine looked like a crescent moon when viewed from above, and the settlement of the goblins was formed in a flat space just in the center. Preliminary reconnaissance confirmed rags picked from animal skins and from anywhere, tent-like beddings made of cut and unprocessed wood, and a large amount of goblins in cave vacant on the side of the mountain It had been.

In the operation, the hardened phantom dragon knights started from a spot on the crescent-shaped terrain where there was a gap. Light adventurers were approaching the mine in a way that the roads could attack from steep sides. With this arrangement, the Knights draw the attention of the Goblins, and the adventurer can assault from the side where the buoyancy stands.

But the goblin is at least intelligent enough to handle tools. This level of operation was more than sufficient. In addition, the controlled Knights, of course, have a certain degree of versatility for C-rank adventurers who are stepping on the number of places. There was no particular problem.

"Num ......... goblin opponents must be a little overheated to try" Are "."

Suddenly he shattered the goblin, but Chloe muttered unsatisfactorily. Chloe, led by B-rank adventurers instead of leaders, and C-rank adventurers will destroy the goblins without any particular struggle.

“…………?”

Chloe turned around from behind, but a spear pierced the side of the goblin's eyebrows, approaching before swinging his sword. It was a gullible man who swung a spear through the goblin's skull and flew the corpse somewhere.

"Oh, did you take extra care?" "No, don't be afraid."

With an exciting laugh, he carried the spear and left for new prey. Chloe repositions her sword and cuts off the goblin again.

After a while, a goblin one size larger than the others appeared before Chloe. A goblin variant. Although it is inferior to the superior individuals, it still has a stronger body than normal goblins. The weapon I have-the sword also looked somewhat better than the others. Perhaps it has the ability of D rank.

The goblin attacks with a dull scream. Chloe had a good chance to avoid the goblin blow, and cut short. However, her slash only ends with a shallow cut of green skin. The goblin, distorted in pain, wields his sword in anger, but Chloé retreats backwards and moves away.

"After all, if the" things "are different, the selfishness will change, so don't miss it.

Chloe's specialty weapons were specially shaped and manufactured, and were not available at the Draknir weapons shop. He had no choice but to use the one-handed sword with the closest shape, but as Chloe muttered, the usability was slightly different. Had the “weapons” we were accustomed to in our hometown at hand, we would have truncated our defenses to some extent.

Of course, even with the "sword" you have today, the goblin on the front can afford the opponent.

“………… Do you have to try it?”

Apart from the front, another goblin attacks from the side, but Chloe turns around and avoids.

"'Thunderblade' ..."

One-handed sword in both hands. Establish an operation just before gripping the handle and activate immediately. Pour "thunder" in both hands into the blade.

He turned his blade down to a nearby goblin. The green body was cut off like a tofu when it received the blade, but it broke into two pieces without falling blood and fell to the ground.

Goblin shouted down his sword, shouting, whether he was angry at his brother's death or determined that this was an opportunity. Chloe took the blow with her sword. Then, the body of the goblin that should have attacked trembles as if it had convulsions and stops moving. Chloe swiftly ran a blade of thunder on his torso.

The goblin was once again stuck in one of the wounds, but this time it was hit so hard that most of the torso could be cut off, and the goblin was frozen again. Again, no drop of blood ran down from the mid-section of the torso, which was cut in half.

A close look at the wound of the goblin that fell on the ground revealed a burnt cross section, as if it had been heated to a high temperature.

"... I'm sorry to those who have metal equipment."

Chloe wrote an impression comparing the corpse of the goblin with his own sword, which contained the thunder.

--- Lightning strike with weapons.

This is what Kanna came up with. A blue humanoid with a bitter ossan that appears in an anime of a famous robot war, not to mention the idea. This is “Heat ○ -ve ○”.

Insufficient magic to emit a lightning strike, but it is too dangerous to strike directly. Then, shouldn't you put a lightning strike on a familiar weapon?

The magic that was developed based on that idea was the thunder-supporting method “Thunderblade” used by Chloe. It is a magical technique in which the thunder carries "thunder", and the opponent eats the blade of lightning.

If this collides with a metal weapon, Chloe's weapon will strike and lightning will strike the opponent. Furthermore, "Lightning Strike" also contributes to raising the sharpness by forming a blade. Since only the lightning strikes the blade, all that is required is a minimal magical formula, which leads to a magical eco. Thanks to daily training, Chloe, who was good at controlling to maintain constant output, became a very compatible magical formula.

However, this is still Canna quality. Of course there were drawbacks.

"That's hot, it's hot"

Chloe screamed and hurriedly released Thunderblade.

This "thunder blade" gives the additional effect of lightning strikes in addition to attack power, but as a by-product, the entire sword takes on "ultra-high temperature" due to "electric resistance". This is why the goblin's wounds are scorched, but the ultra-high temperature is transmitted through the handle to Chloe. Once used, it cannot be used until the blade cools. If you continue to use it, Chloe's hands will burn.

As a countermeasure, the sword is off-the-shelf, but only the handle is changed to a material that is difficult to conduct heat. However, the fundamental solution has not been reached. Even if the blade becomes extremely hot, the hand will not be burned immediately. If you get on the track and forget to release it, you will feel as passionate as it is now.

"Don't worry about future challenges"

There is a major drawback, but the attack power is commensurate with it. Above all, it is a magic born of Kanna's idea. I'm sorry he couldn't improve this.

Well, it's time to step in aiming for new prey.

Dogon! When.

A terrible sound was heard.

Chloe snapped his ears and raised his alertness. Other adventurers were equally vigilant. When it comes to fighting monsters, unforeseen situations are commonplace. The more they are called, the more they care about their surroundings.

I can hear the sound again.

"Are you there ............... Ru ...?"

Chloe, who identified the source of the sound, turned his face. However, at the sight I witnessed, I inadvertently doubted my eyes.

--- Goblin was flying in the air.

Several green goblins were blowing away, causing some parts of the body to be missing. Moreover, the goblin flies in the air each time a sound is generated, not just once when witnessed.

"Oh, yes, it's a" dragon sword. "

A spear messenger who just exchanged words. Has the nearby goblin been wiped out, there are no moving goblins around? The battle here has probably settled down. Other adventurers are heading for the new goblin.

"Dragon sword ..... Sure, the commander of the Order of the Knights participating in this operation ...?" "Draknir is the youngest A-ranked record holder in the guild. Probably Diagar. "It's probably one of the best talents in Japan." I saw it for the first time yesterday.

The goblins fly one after another during the conversation. If you look closely, you can see the glitter of the sword between the goblins. Definitely the huge sword he was carrying.

"... I mean, isn't it strange that the commander is fighting directly at the forefront?" "I'd rather have a better feeling than leaning back behind."

Chloe can understand what I mean. It's far better than an incompetent commander who retreats deep into his own camp and shouts louder. Perhaps from his subordinate fighting near the dragon sword, it's a factor in his hard work.

"Well, I was late to the others while I was watching. What's wrong with you?

The neighborhood is no longer popular, only the goblin remains. The closest group of goblins is where the dragon sword is now warrior. At a distance away, the adventurers' backs were visible.

"I'm sorry, so I'll be with you too." "Okay. Self-introduction was late. I'm Barhardt." "Chloe."

Nodding each other, Chloe and the spearman, Barhard, rushed back into the goblin fleet to join the Imperial Army.

In the bustle of the battlefield, Regulus saw humans approaching, except for his subordinates. As you look down, the two adventurers approach you, truncating or piercing the goblins.

That one half. In Draknir, a beast woman with unusual black hair and wolf ears caught the eye of Regulus.

"........."

The goblin, which had previously blown at an angle of 45 degrees, flew horizontally rearward only at this time. Regulus re-handles the handle of his big sword and strips the goblin again. This time it returns to an angle of 45 degrees.

"I'm still immature"

The mutter was canceled by the goblin screams and did not reach the aide and subordinates behind him.

Aide, Dine, tells them to break through the walls of the beast and head to him, telling his subordinates to pause, and yells at the adventurers.

"Your adventurers are in charge of another area! Why are you here! It's in the way!"

It is Ikinari. Chloe blinked a little at Dyne's sword curtain, but immediately regained her attention.

"I don't want to get in the way of you, but I just want to fight on the side of" Dragon Sword "." "Although the former A-rank adventurer fights As Chloe's daughter says, I will not disturb the Imperial Army. "" Um, permit "" Grandmaster !? "

Immediate decision Immediate decision is a virtue, but isn't it really too early? When Chloe and Dyne heard Dall's high-pitched voice over her helmet, she thought.

"If you look at the fight you're heading for here, you won't be in a limb. You're saying you won't get in the way." "It's not the problem!" "So what is the problem?" That ’s ………… ”

Looking back at his deputy secretary, Regulus looked at them.

"Now, as long as you say, come together as long as it is out of the way. However, if you can not follow it, I will leave it mercilessly, so I'm gonna do that." answered. It is here that he said that he would follow along. I was grateful for just allowing me to accompany me. "Che, if the leader says, I'll follow."

Reluctantly. Really reluctantly, the deputy withdrew. I could imagine the expression of bitterness floating in the back of the helmet. While regular military personnel tend to hate free-spirited adventurers, Chloe bitterly smiled at the typical reaction.

The Phantom Dragon Knights advance with the two adventurers together again.

In front of you is Ryuken-Regulus. Close to his fighting appearance, Chloe had a feeling of dread.

Each time the sword flashes, a whirlwind occurs, and several goblins blow off at once. Frighteningly, whether you hold a sword or a club, it is a subspecies that is slightly larger than the other individuals, and cuts off everything without regard. Surprisingly, the seemingly brute force slashing is a baptized movement that is, at best, completely stagnant. Although it is incredibly strong from its slimness, it is a reasonable move to exert it more than enough.

Don't forget Lieutenant Dyne. Manipulate "Rapier" with emphasis on piercing, and go through the goblin's key points. The piercing speed is so fast that Chloe's dynamic visual acuity is "somehow" recognizable.

We cannot despise the abilities of the members of the Phantom Dragon Knights behind them. Unlike the adventurers who show their individual skills, they will take down the goblins without disturbing by commanded movements. Each person is probably as good or better than Chloe.

"Not only the leader, but also the members of the team are very skillful." "Oh, I was surprised. I thought that the army was just a bonkra that was just looking, but this must be renewed. That's right. "

Most of the commander-class humans leading the Diagar army are hardened by dragon races. This is not because of bloodlines or nobles, but because of pure fighting power. The soldiers they lead are devastated by rigorous training every day, and the skill of each person surpasses that of other countries. The overall size of the army is inferior to the others, but even more so in its overall strength.

According to Barhardt, the "Bonkra Troop" refers to the Uraai people, who are only commanded by their family status and who have the same number of people. Sadly, they exist even within the Diagar Empire. In comparison, the Knights of the Phantom Dragon seemed to be elite.

"Hey, we can't afford to lose."

Seeing the battle of the fierce, Chloe and Barhard inspired themselves. Both are adventurers aiming for heights. If you don't get stuck here, there is no qualification to aim for it.

Eventually, the moving green figure disappeared, leaving only the knights and adventurers behind. Almost all of the goblins' bedding had been knocked down, and their lords had become dead corpses. In the meantime, the Knights and the adventurers did not show any injuries to the injured person.

"Is that left inside that cave?" "Reports have not yet confirmed the corpses of the superior individuals that are the main members of this great settlement. Probably inside."

Regulus and Dine looked into the pit from the back of the helmet with a large hole on the side of the mine. This operation will not end unless you defeat the superior individuals. If you don't kill it here, you may have another goblin in another area to form a big settlement.

At this point, none of the adventurers entered the cave in a dark state. This is because it was previously predicted that the goblin's higher-ranking individual would have a defeat rank of "B". Of course, there is a desire to defeat and achieve a solid track record, but it is not reckless enough to attack a B rank monster with enthusiasm alone. At the very least, they are ready to take the initiative to make sure they are in line.

………… Someone was trying to jump out for a little while.

"Grandmaster, you're not thinking about trying to break into the cave yourself, right?"

A cold lieutenant's voice stops beside Regulus's strangely tingling. Regulus dropped his shoulders, slightly depressed, and turned to his aide.

"Is it wrong? I guess it will end soon if I go?" "It's decided that it's bad. In the first place, it's a big problem when the top of some squads are rampaging on the front line. "It's your job to take command and conduct." "It's just right to be silent and leaning behind. It's your job to be a deputy secretary." It's going to go all the way in. Become a member of the group that will follow you. ''

Two outside adventurers who listened to such a conversation on the side.

"After all, there was a problem for the leader to stand on the forefront himself, so I shouldn't let it go." "It's quite different from the image of a dragon sword that I had imagined so far."

I was muttering variously.

The leader, who was instructed by Dine, shrugged his shoulders and said to Chloe.

"I'm a black wolf lady. Could you call me your leader, bad? I'd like to form a party to that cave now. Two, three people, I want you to look after the people who are good at fighting in the cave. "Some people will be out of this unit," "Don't go to B-rank adventurers.

Chloe, commanded by the Order of the Knight, nodded and turned to the location of the adventurers.

Chloe runs with light steps. However, the Knights and the Adventurer, suddenly stopped when they approached the middle point of each group.

“……… Why do n’t you go?”

Is it an instinct because it has a beast factor?

Experience cultivated as an adventurer?

Or is it the “sixth sense” obtained by experiencing “death”?

Regrettably, she shouldn't stop at this time.

That gray-haired boy she loved would have run through the scene with all her might.

But after that I felt sorry.

The "arrow" that came from somewhere stood on her left chest.

ー ー ー ー Baggintsu.

Chloe's consciousness ceased shortly after the hard destruction reached his ear.
