Chapter 291 Gii!
The magic ball thrown by Haruna dived into the piled up snow like a meteorite. Then, with the magic ball in the center, the ground shook, a roaring sound reverberated, and the snow scattered. At the place where the ball fell, the snow was removed, the ground was exposed, and there was even a considerable cave-in. However, it doesn’t stop there. From the center of the explosion, the pure white snow is dyed black and it’s gradually spreading to the surrounding snow.
「The snow…. What is that?」
「I combined various magic, but I mainly used Worse Vitiate. This is a magic that spreads poison, and its characteristic is its erosiveness! The poisonous area will spread to anything it touches, and it can kill multiple enemies in one go!」
「Ooh…. That magic is quite brutal, huh.」
「Thank you. But, it seems that the throwing just now didn’t hit the enemy. The poison infection will continue, but we don’t have time, so―― I’ll go for the second throw!」
Haruna’s strategy is very simple. She doesn’t know why, but she feels something unpleasant from the snow-covered ground of the abandoned village. Then, she will just clear away the snow with magic and remove the anxiety factor at the same time. It’s a straightforward answer, just like Haruna.
Bam, bam! the second and third magic balls were thrown, and they hit the ground of the abandoned village in a similar way. The exposed grounds are increased, and the erosion of the poison is accelerating.
(I hope it doesn’t cause an avalanche….)
Chinatsu began to worry about such a thing.
――――Thump.
As for the fourth throw, it had a different impact sound. At the same time, something jumped out of the white snow.
「Uvooo!」
「There!」
It was a white monkey with a huge body and atrocious mouth. All the characteristics match the monster Zeta was talking about, and Haruna and Chinatsu immediately judged that it is the target enemy. Perhaps it guarded the iron ball thrown by Haruna, one of its thick arms is twisted and changed color.
「The footprints disappeared in the middle because it was hiding in the snow, huh.」
「And it has some kind of skill to erase its presence. Something like that, I guess?」
「I don’t know if you will need support, but leave the support to me~」
The katana and the big sword were pulled out to finish it off. Then, Chinatsu and Zeta readied themselves to jump from the gate to approach the white monkey. However――
「Uvau!」
「Uvoruaa!」
「Uvaava!」
―― It wasn’t just the first one that jumped out of the snow. Just before Chinatsu and Zeta jumped off, the other white monkeys appeared from all over the abandoned village with a time lag after the first one jumped out. Had they jumped down even a second earlier, they would have been in the middle of the enemy line.
「Uwaah, that was close….」
「Waah, I guess you will need support against this number!」
The expressions of the two were the exact opposite.
「Leaving aside Haruna with her sparkling eyes… I thought that the bad premonition became sparse but not disappeared, so it wasn’t just one, huh.」
「It was a little unexpected, but it seems so. Chinatsu-san, can I leave the right side of the village to you>」
「No problem. Zeta-san, I leave the left side to you. Also, please be careful of the snow that has turned black. As you can see, Haruna’s poison is working well.」
The blackened snow melted into black liquid as the next step, emitting a suspicious bubbling. It’s clearly dangerous. The white monkey, who accidentally touched the liquid, is rolling around while screaming as if it’s in severe pain.
「It’s fine if it only touches the artificial legs, but it’s certainly troublesome if it permeates. Thank you for the advice.」
「Ah, that’s right, Chinatsu-chan can’t use her magic…. Did I mess up a little?」
「No, on the contrary, it’s good for training. Besides, it’s much milder than Shishō’s instruction. In the worst case, I can just use magic and prepare myself to be scolded.」
「I’m sorry…. If that happens, I will apologize to Nell-san.」
「Yes, let’s apologize together.」
「You two are really close, aren’t you? Still, it seems that it’s about time.」
The white monkeys noticed the three and showed a clear hostility and killing intent. It seems that they are angry that their friend got hit by the iron ball.
「Then, let’s go.」
「Yes.」
「Ah, that’s right. You two, how about you ride these?」
「「Eh?」」
When the two were about to jump off, Haruna stopped them this time. When they looked back―― they saw two big bats. Moreover, they’ve been deformed considerably, and they have become round and cute things.
It’s dark magic level 80, 『Suck Bat』. It’s a magic that creates a dark bat that sucks the blood out of an enemy and returns the energy to the user. However, in this case, the size of the bats is much different than usual because Haruna used a large amount of magic power when creating them.
「With this size, I think you two can ride on them. The footing was reduced because of me, so I hope they can be useful.」
「Ride on it…. In the first place, can I ride it?」
「Kii!」
「Wah, it cried!?」
「It’s a bat. It can cry, of course~」
「Um, the enemies are coming….」
There’s no time to be confused. Chinatsu nervously gets on the bat, and Zeta just gets on normally. It was difficult to determine whether it was the head or back, but they got on them anyway.
「If you give them instructions, they will move following your instructions.」
「I-Is that so? …… Err, let’s do our best?」
「I think I’m heavy because of my artificial arm and legs, but I’m counting on you.」
「「Gii!」」
Carrying the two, the Suck Bats took off from the top of the gate. The dark bats are flying right above the white monkeys while carrying Chinatsu and Zeta, and they keep flying without difficulty. It seems that a little maneuver won’t be a problem
「I’m going to destroy them individually. It’s okay to fly at a distance where you can avoid the attack. Can you aim at the separated enemies first?」
「Kii!」
The Suck Bat responded to Chinatsu’s voice with more acceleration and headed towards the white monkey that’s relatively far from the pack. While staring at the enemy, Chinatsu took a low stance with her katana.
「Don’t mind about me, just keep flying!」
Saying so, Chinatsu jumped down from the Suck Bat just before passing by the white monkey. At the same time, the white monkey sent a strong punch to intercept her.
「Hah!」
「Vah!?」
However, the movement of the white monkey invaded by the poison field is very slow. There’s no way the attack could hit Chinatsu, so she avoided it in the air easily. On the contrary, she slashed the arm and powerfully trampled the white monkey’s head as a scaffolding.
Hidden in the shadow of Haruna, it is not usually noticed, but the power of the priest Chinatsu is close to that of Touko. Even if the white monkey is barely alive at the time of landing, it won’t be able to endure the next one.
「Gii-kun, let’s go!」
Chinatsu jumped again on the spot. The white monkey, who became the scaffolding, was trampled to death, and Chinatsu returned safely to the bat that she named Gii-kun on her own (temporary name). The combination of Gii-kun, created by a lot of Haruna’s magic power, and Chinatsu was quite good.
