58 Episode 46 Weight Machine

─ ─ Did you finally reach the limit of patience?

The horn cow rushed toward us as the ground rang.

If we stay on this course, the mercenaries behind me will be caught and killed where I left off.

Then we have no choice but to stay here and intercept.

Keep your head down!

Instead of turning to the mercenary behind him, I hit him with a word. I don't have time to see if the mercenaries actually lowered their heads, and I shake my spear a lot.

"'Weight Gain (Enchant)'!

Together with his impatient words, he took a step towards the sudden onslaught of the tortoise bull.

─ ─ Bagong!

One step I took was buried on the ground around my toes (...). Starting with both arms, there was an incredible "weight" stretching all over my body.

─ ─ Weight gain (enchant).

The power Gram gained with the Summon Monster (Call) when he fulfilled his contract with me. The biggest factor that led to the crusade against the Covolt King.

Briefly speaking, the ability to lift the gram's own weight more than twice as much as usual.

In other words, the gram I shake at this moment is equal to a mass of iron that is several times larger.

Yooshh!! Fuck you, man!

"─ ─ Aaaaaaaaaa!!

Supported by the voice of Gram, I squeezed out the scream from the bottom of my belly and shoved my spear away into the horn bull that was approaching so far.

The tip of the spear shattered the skull of the horn bull, and blew its body apart.

From a tortoise bull, it might have felt like being hit by a sudden appearance of a giant's fist from the side.

The Grievor stumbled on the ground and stopped moving.

I was a little stiff with my spear swinging, and eventually exhaled a big breath while supporting\ 36528; with my spear and weakening.

"Ahhhhh... this is exactly what I was expecting"

In order to intercept the tortoise (Hornbull) rush, it was necessary to raise the weight of the gram to the maximum, but the bones and muscles of the whole body were exhausted with just one swing of preparation.

But you're much better than you were when you first started.

I lost the temper to answer with my face frowned, but I affirmed Gram's words in my heart.

I am aware that my muscle strength is definitely increasing more than before. Not as dramatic as it could be, I was no longer tired of waving my spear.

Even a gram in the weight gain state can be shaken without any problems only once. Even though I consumed extreme health, my whole body no longer suffered from severe pain like it was the first time.

Is this also the effect of "contracting" with Gram?

Well, there's no doubt that my presence is driving my partner's growth a bit. But I think my partner had talent in that direction. "

What kind of talent is that?

Well, hey, you'll see. Anyway, now I'm moving, eating, and sleeping. "

You're a kid with an armpit!

I'm much older than my partner. More importantly, it looks like he's here.

Slightly behind Gram's words, mica and secondary mercenaries emerged from the bushes.

"─ ─ Yukina-sama!?

"Yo, Mikage. Good work."

To my surprise, Mikage, I raised my hand opposite to the one with the spear.

I didn't know you had a rescue request.

"No. I did use my magic tools, but I need help."

I showed a mercenary still stuck behind me with my thumb. As soon as Mikage noticed his injury, he rushed over.

"After the bleeding has stopped slightly, I think it would be better to take you to Dr. Cunei. And now you're disqualified."

Mikage wrapped his tourniquet around the mercenary's feet and said. He moaned with remorse, but immediately dropped his shoulders as if he had given up.

Meanwhile, the Class 2 mercenaries who came here with Mikage are staring at the remains of the Urban Beast with a harsh gaze. Especially the tortoise bull's corpse.

"Before I say no, it's not our fault we ran into the Tornado. Some idiot in the field got excited because he did something bad, and he just attacked us."

─ ─ Did you defeat the tortoise?

"Otherwise, we'll get along and be minced before you arrive."

I answered the second-class mercenary's words honestly. Gram's special powers are on the ground, but everything else is true. There is no blame.

"... I'd like to hear more about what happened. Could you escort me to the entrance once?

"Of course. And the dog-head (Kobolt) who rolls there is the one I crushed. Together with your crusade site, you should have passed the exam."

I hoisted a hunting bag with Dog Head (Covolt) fangs and laughed at the secondary mercenaries.

As a result, only two people failed this exam.

One was wounded in the leg surrounded by a dog-headed man (Covolt). And the one who messed with the horn bull.

When all the candidates returned to the entrance to the forest after crushing the required number of dogheads (covolts), there was only one mercenary who looked strange. When the Second Class Mercenary tightened it up, he was the one who gave the tortoiseshell to the bull.

Things are going as expected with me (and Gram).

A mercenary (idiot) who was blinded by the rewards of the crusade reached out to the tortoise bull (Hornbull) he ran into by chance. After all, the tortoise bull (Hornbull) broke out without defeating him, and the mercenaries fled without risking their lives. After that, there is no need to talk about what happened to the horn cow.

The mercenaries I helped were strictly cautious and prohibited from taking the promotion exam for a certain period of time. This is reasonable, but the mercenary who gave the tortoise bull a glimpse will be severely punished for endangering the other mercenaries. "Prohibition of mercenary activities for a certain period."

Had that excited Tornado encountered another Grade 5 mercenary, not me, he would have almost certainly been killed. It would be a natural punishment.

And, except for the two people who have been disqualified, all the required promotion examinations have passed. Of course, that includes me.

In the meantime, take a step forward.
