Chapter 73: They got angry when I mentioned that since they are just dogs they could've thrown a mix of garlic, pepper, and vinegar at them.
Day 31 The Faraway Labyrinth, 54F
They are too strong. Werewolf Lv 54, wolfmen, lycanthropes, they can often be seen even in movies, but I would like to pass on that.
Though those are just very furry wolves walking on two feet.
They look like a recolor of kobolds, but very strong. Just plainly strong and fast. That alone makes them overwhelmingly powerful.
Even if we back them in the corner, they are too strong to go down that easily.
There are 50 or 60 of them and they are working in groups, attacking together, and hunting. Not simply fighting, but they are looking for weak spots instead, and use their forte to attack them. That is what is actually scary about them.
And that is exactly how Haruka-kun fights, which makes them even scarier. We can't chase them too deep.
Even if we surround them, they are too fast to allow us to land a decisive blow.
They have complete control over the battle. Making the first move, they do what they want, and then, they also have the last move. They leave us no openings to exploit.
When it appears like a charge, it turns out to be a battle of attrition, a battle of attrition turns out to be a blitz, an all-out attack is actually psychological warfare. They are totally playing with us and there is nothing we can do.
We are merely holding out due to our individual abilities, but their individual strength is also high.DiiScver w storis on no//e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Magic is avoided, defenses are outmaneuvered, and our attacks aren't reaching them. And on top of that, they are pushing us back with brute strength. And we are gradually getting exhausted. This cannot continue.
Changing our formation to an inverted semicircle, we wait for their attack. They aren't stupid enough to attack at the center. But this is what we want. The werewolves will surely aim for the flanks.
With Kakizaki-kun's group on the left and us on the right, we can allow the center to rest. Taking down as many of them as possible, even if it's just one werewolf, we will reduce their numbers, and push them back by wounding others.
Those monsters will use any opportunity they get.
But if they can't get any, they will try to shake things up to create one.
That's why we have to take the initiative.
If they attack us on the flanks we will surely be able to get some of them.
If we can't, then they will take us down. And once we crumble it will be all over.
7 came from the right and 8 came from the left, all others are a diversion. They are trying to create chaos among us.
In the first place, their abilities aren't suited for direct combat and are better used for creating chaos and division. So if the vanguard can hold the enemies things are bound to improve.
They used illusion, debuffs, smoke screens, and I think they also did something to the ground itself?
How villainous, could it be that they are of the same type as Haruka-kun?
Watch your words!
Yup, everyone is quite energetic. We are not at our limit yet. We became able to fight back even in such a disadvantageous situation, and our level also grew. We certainly got stronger.
Are we done for today? President?
Speak of the devil, the librarian-san, movement restraints, interference, debuffs, the scariest opponent for large groups of enemies.
Everyone seems to want to continue, but we are going to stop here. For today.
Everyone is rushing too much. They are too anxious. Haruka-kun is certainly going to climb up on his own eventually.
Saying that she left. Just like me, she spent 11 years at the same school as Haruka-kun. Librarian-san knows Haruka-kun very well.
Good grief. What is the point of worrying about Haruka? He probably doesn't even need any skills.
Looks like Kakizaki-san, who knew him only from high school, had the same opinion. For some reason, their attitude is clearly different towards Haruka-kun.
That's because Haruka-kun is different. Thinking about it will only leave you more confused.
Even Oda-kun and the others were saying in unison that worrying about him is stupid. From their way of speaking, it seems they know, or feel something.
Buut, it is the people who are saying that who are rushing ahead the most?
Said Vice President B, who we had to drag back to the camp when she tried to break through solo.
I'm friends with her since high school, and I'm pretty sure I can call her my close friend, but for some reason, I feel like she might be the one I understand the least. Just why is it?
During a battle, I'm beginning to get the same vibes from her as from Haruka-kun.
She generally fights in the rear, but as soon as I take my eyes off her for a moment, she begins crushing enemies in melee. But isn't her job a Great Sage?
Well, she doesn't take any injuries though? Not a single wound? No way, is she using her breasts to repel attacks? Boing, or something?
