Currently, we were going towards Sphereart on the griffon. And, we would arrive in about an hour.
“Finn, how about the feeling while riding on the griffon? I think it’s something quite nice.” (Akane)
“Y-, y-, yes, th-, that’s right. I, think it’s, good.” (Finn)
Her voice was sounding shrill and nervous.
“Perhaps you’re afraid? It’s fine to speak honestly.” (Akane)
“Gri-, phon-san, is not scary. Rather, I’m afraid of this height! Although we are being protected by magic, this height is abnormal.” (Finn)
“Why? Although we are flying at an altitude of 1000 meters, I feel refreshed. Look at this scenery. It’s amazing, right, Griffon?” (Akane)
“Kuwah~~” (Griffon)
“For me, it is my first time at this height! I don’t have the composure to look at the scenery!” (Finn)
“It’s wasteful. Well, since we will get on often from now on, you’ll get used to it eventually.” (Akane)
“Th-, this scenery often------” (Finn)
Huh~, since it was impossible to allow a fear of heights, I guess I’ll lose speed gradually, and fly a little bit lower.
Huh, what’s this?
“Griffon, stop for a moment.” (Akane)
“Kuwah?” (Griffon)
“Good, we stopped. Master, what’s wrong?” (Finn)
This, was a human child being chased by evil tribes? It wasn’t far from here? But, over there was a completely large forest. Why was a human child there? Be that as it may, were we going to help them?
“Inside of the large forest to our left, there is a child being chased by evil tribes. We’re going to help them.” (Akane)
“Inside of that large forest! How do you know that much?” (Finn)
“I thought I said it before. If you use magical power and the ‘Presence Sense’ skill at the same time, you are able to sense even distant people. This time, the ‘Crisis Sense’ skill is also operating in that place, though.” (Akane)
“Eeh! From here, it is quite distant. If you use many skills together, you know it accurately to that extent?” (Finn)
“Indeed, griffon, please go to the place I pointed at.” (Akane)
“Kuwah~” (Griffon)
“I wonder if we’ll make it in time, I guess I’ll do ‘Overpower’ on the evil tribes that are chasing the child. There are 5 evil tribes, and they are quite powerful. Alright, I’ve understood their power, invoke『Overpower』.” (Akane)
Oh, their movements stopped, they seemed to be confused.
“You truly have everything, Master. The griffon also thinks so.” (Finn)
“Kuwah~, kuwawah~~” (Griffon)
What, both of you? They both nodded. Really, I was a monster? -----If seen from a human and a normal evil tribe, in reality, I guess I was a monster. It was somewhat complicated.
This vicinity, huh. With surveying the surroundings-----found it! That’s unlucky, they were trying to deal the finishing blow.
“Finn, I will go ahead and rescue them.” (Akane)
“Yes, I’ll go after as well.” (Finn)
I entered between the child and the ogre knight that was trying to deal the finishing blow, used the『Body Hardening』skill, hardened my arm and stopped the blow of the sword. Although the hardening wasn’t even necessary in reality, it was because it was a loss if I didn’t steadily use skills. By the way,『Body Hardening』was a superior version of the ‘Body Strengthening’ skill. The second I stopped the blow of the sword, the sword snapped in half. Was their great physical power only that? The evil tribes that were aiming at this child were an ogre knight (B-class), a goblin knight (C-class), a black viper (B-class black, large snake), an evil tiger (B-class, tiger that uses the black arts), and lastly, a troll (C-class). Why were such powerful guys aiming at a child. I was able to understand the words of at least the ogre knight and the evil tiger.
“My sword broke. You, who are you?” (Ogre Knight)
“I don’t have a name to give to an evil tribe. I’m the envoy of the goddess Sphere who protects children, I wonder. By the way, I wonder, what is your guys’ objective? I think that there’s no meaning in killing such a child, though.” (Akane)
Formerly, I have a feeling that a hero of justice was saying a speech with a feeling like this. I arranged it in a parallel world edition, though. It was the evil tiger who responded to this speech.
“You are an envoy of the goddess Sphere! Damned Sphere, have you prepared such a hidden weapon still? Well, fine, if we eat both of you bastards, our evil power will rise as much. Your luck was bad! You’ll die here.” (Evil Tiger)
Upon considering it, by eating the magical power that was held by things other than evil tribes, I wonder, would my own evil power increase? So that meant, I was captivated by the magical power held by this child.
The troll swung his club downward at me when I had been thinking. For now, I guess I’ll subjugate it! Stopping the blow of the club, I sent a punch to its stomach lightly. Thereupon, the troll tumbled down with a *thud* noise.
The black viper tried to swallow me from above next but I nimbly avoided it, and threw a『Tornado Bomb』with a 50cm radius into the interior of its mouth.『Tornado Bomb』was my original magic; by spherically compressing the storm attribute entire enemy attack『Storm Tornado』, the power on a single enemy far surpassed that of『Storm Tornado』.
The black viper that had that thrown into it was naturally broken into small fragments along with a large noise. The evil tiger who had seen this was terribly surprised.
“That’s ridiculous, what, I haven’t seen that magic.” (Evil Tiger)
“That is correct. Because it’s my original.” (Akane)
It seemed that Finn and the griffon have arrived.
“Finn, you came at a good part. Subjugate the goblin knight. If you are able to execute what you have been taught so far, it’s possible to subjugate it. Griffon, watch the state of Finn’s fight, and in the situation it looks like Finn will be killed, kill the goblin knight without hesitation.” (Akane)
Up to coming to here, she subjugated E and F-class evil tribes, goblins, kobolts, orcs, and wolves, and actual fighting to a certain extent was finished. If it was her current skill practice and abilities, it was just barely feasible. In this connection, unique skills were prohibited from being used. With her current status that was nothing but half-baked abilities, if she used unique skills, the possibility of drowning in that power was high.
“On a goblin knight!? ----I understand, I’ll fight with all of my power.” (Finn)
It looked like she had the resolution to fight. Oops, the evil tiger fired the black arts『Ice Needle』in the gap I took my eyes off of it. Simply put, it was a sharp ice machine gun about 30cm long.
Too bad, in my surroundings, I was applying『Distortion Field』continuously. Magic and the black arts weren’t possible to use.
“You, who are you! Why, the black arts aren’t effective! Ogre knight, let’s do it together.” (Evil Tiger)
The evil tiger and ogre knight challenged me together. Both parties, they are only B-class, and they had more speed than such things as ogres. Well, because it was just right, I would test it as well.
Cladding my entire body in magical power, I lightly struck the the right leg of the evil tiger who swung downwards. The ogre knight also went into the area behind me similarly, and I gave a blow to its stomach. Thereupon, the evil tiger’s right leg was smashed, and an air hole opened up in the ogre knight’s stomach. Yeah, although I had known they weren’t opponents, I knew that I was strengthening myself. Even in the real world, I seemed to be able to use『Magical Power Cladding』myself. So far, because I hadn’t used this skill, I was a little anxious but it seemed to be alright.
“Such a thing, my right leg was smashed with a single blow. Ku, how about if it’s this!『Heat Fang』” (Evil Tiger)
Mu, his offensive power was raised with ‘Claw Technique’, which converged evil power on his left forelimb and clad it in it. Hee, he was doing it. But, it was too bad.
“Too bad, you’re full of gaps.” (Akane)
Since its right leg side was full of gaps, I dealt a light body blow. Thereupon, the evil tiger crumpled down. Yeah, the both of them were dead. Now, I wonder, how was Finn doing?
Finn's Point of View
My opponent was the goblin knight. It was a C-class monster. I would have been unable to stand up due to fear if it was the old me. But, now was different. Master said that I could subjugate it if I was able to execute the training of so far. I believed in the words of my Master. Besides, if it was now, those two techniques should be useful.
I clad my entire body in magical power, and concentrated a little on my eyes. I understood that the goblin knight was observing this way. Of course, I felt a strong evil power. But, I understood myself that I wasn’t the one who couldn’t win. I would go with all of my strength from the beginning. I dashed while cladding both iron claws in magical power and tried to split the goblin knight, but naturally it was defended by its sword. But, with this feeling, I understood that our powers were competing. I guess that was also understood by the goblin knight. Temporarily, I fell back.
The goblin knight, it was strong. I would be done in if I was negligent for even a little while. Let’s go.
“Claw Technique『Whirlwind Cut¹』, Haa~, da, da, da” (Finn)
I sent out claw slash attacks on the wind and launched them consecutively. The goblin knight was surprised to see that. Although he seemed to have eluded them somehow with his sword and shield, there was a gap! I drove the iron claw into its right thigh. Eh, it wasn’t coming out! Unluckily, the goblin knight didn’t overlook it. I received the sharp part of the shield on my left shoulder. But, I also could take the iron claw with the shock. Ku~, as one would expect, it was painful. But, I wouldn’t be defeated if it was this amount. I followed up immediately.
“Haa~~.” (Finn)
My left shoulder hurt somewhat, but I concentrated magical power on both of the iron claws and both of my hands, and challenged it with an attack immediately. Although the goblin knight also fought back with its sword and shield at the beginning, it gradually became unable to completely judge and a definite gap was made. Here, I decided to use that technique. I should be able to do it if it was now.
I clad the iron claw in my right hand with the thunder attribute『Thunder』, and further concentrated magical power there. Thereupon, thunder *crackle crackle crackle crackle* made sounds from my right hand. It was okay if it was this!
“It ends with this.『Thunder Fang』, Haa~~!” (Finn)
And then, I was able to cut up the goblin knight along with its shield. It was successful. Until now, despite not being able to activate it even once even with practice at the acedemy, thanks to Master’s training, I succeeded for the first time.
“Haa, haa, haa, I did it, I did it, I did it~~, Master!” (Finn)
When I looked at Master, the ogre knight and the evil tiger were already dead, and she had been looking this way the whole time. And then, she praised me with a smile on her entire face.
“Well done, Finn. Not just『Whirlwind Cut』, but even『Thunder Fang』can be used. You practiced for a long time.” (Akane)
“Yes, yes, from when I was in the academy, I had practiced and imagined it for a long time, but I couldn’t do it at all. But, when I thought I could do it if it was now, I succeeded. I’m happy!” (Finn)
In combat, Master praised me for the first time. I was happy that it was absurd.
“Well, shall we look at the girl?” (Akane)
“Ah, yes, that’s right.” (Finn)
I completely forgot about her. When I looked at the girl that was collapsed, she was covered in wounds. She had lacerations here and there, there were burns on her entire body, and her breathing was also in a faint state. She may have died with a little more. But, this child, I had a feeling that I’d seen her somewhere, but well, where would I have seen her? I couldn’t remember.
“This is cruel. It isn’t only wounds on her whole body, there’s also nearly no magical power. First of all『Max Heal』.” (Akane)
Amazing, the wounds were being recovered before my eyes. She completely recovered her in the blink of an eye. Eh, eh, wh, what the, this child was, but
“Iris-sama~~!! There is no mistake. This person is Iris-sama, Master!” (Finn)
Why was Saint-sama of Sphereart’s religion in such a place!
