Chapter 52
Grow Up
"It should be around here......I think"
"Yup"
A big wine red crack is spreading from the ground, and is the foundation of the wave.
But, it's lying down.
It's very ghost-like...... There is a feeling that physical attacks will not work on this demon.
"A fish?"
"Hmm...... This doesn't look like too difficult of an enemy."
"Normal attacks won't be effective. Only magic should have an effect."
There is knowledge from net games about requiring magic attacks.
"Then Firo can fight!"
"Yup. Firo, can also use attack magic?"
"Noo. Kicking is faster than magic."
Sigh...... Firo does not understand how useful magic can be.
As I look around restlessly there are sounds of clashing metal.
"Over there?"
(Tl note: I am not translating the name of attacks, unless you want something like Circular Dance Model Zero ・ Reverse of Sub Zero Flowers.)
The sky that is stained with red starts to shine.
Then, something in the form of a person drew a circle through it and then there was a red flash.
"""Guaaaaaaaaa!"""
We arrived as simultaneous screams erupted.
From what I can tell the enemy fired off a huge magic attack at this place.
But, What is going on?
(Tlnote: 流星弓,流星剣,流星槍 10/10 naming sense.)
Meteor...... is that hip?
"Are you their reinforcements?"
After the tornado stops a person appears from the centre.
There stood a beautiful girl. Her face in no way inferior to Raphtalia.
But, something is off. Sometimes, she looks slightly translucent, just like a ghost.
This human shaped woman seems to be victor here.
"The heroes of this world seem to be all bark and no bite, quite a disappointment."
That......human shaped woman declares as she turns around.
"Master~, this person is very strong."
Firo informs me while all the feathers on her body stand on end.
"Yes, I feel a strong pressure here. This strength is far from a normal demon."
Raphtalia also warns me while her tail is standing up.
"So you defeated these fools?"
I step on the fucking woman's unconscious face while asking.
"Hmm...... Is that how you treat your companions?"
It seems the woman in the kimono does not like my attitude.
"I apologize, but you can't be any more incorrect about her being my companion."
After trampling her face about 3 more times my anger is a little appeased.
"Doesn't matter, what you are doing is unjust."
"Master is like a villain~"
"I do not have a just argument for the enemy......"
Raphtalia is a little amazed as she mutters.
"Okay~"
The enemy seems a little amazed at our attitude.
"......Although they are not your companions, your actions are not that of a just human's."
"Well, I lost in this world, but I cannot leave."
The enemy charges with her iron fan.
I raise my shield at once.
Damn......That's very heavy.
Such a heavy attack from an iron fan, it would seriously be dangerous if Raphtalia or Firo took one of these.
"Raphtalia, Firo! Be careful......She's strong."
"Sure!"
"I am the Hero of the shield who deciphers and calls forth the power of nature to defend!"
The opponent grasped my intention so she changed locations. We chased.
She probably took down the boss of the wave too.
Whenever I have some room I cast heal on myself, but this is very intense.
She tried to change her aim to Raphtalia and Firo but I prevent her.
"As if I'd let you!"
So to obstruct her I pulled her leg.
"Ugh......Release me immediately!"
However, you cannot remove my restraints with something like that.
"Are you the same combat type?......This is more troublesome than those people before."
The enemy remains nonchalant even after being subjected to Snake's Poison Fang (Intermediate).
In any chase, she's strong. In everything.
GeshiGeshiGeshiGeshiGeshi!
"such a heavy attack...... It's strength rival's that of the Hero of the Sword. To kick me that heavily eith times in an instant......"
Eh? You can see Firo's attacks?
"Firo, do it again!"
Bakin!
"Wh-"
Raphtalia's sword broke?
Even though I applied Fast Guard, I am barely able to block with my shield.
Is there any way to win......
"Huff.....Huff......That's quite enough."
No, we may have a chance if this becomes a battle of attrition.
No matter who you are there should still be fatigue.
"I'll end it with this."
The enemy's whole body starts glowing.
Raphtalia and Firo hide behind me, although just barely they were able to make it.
"Shield Prison!"
A cage made out of shields and magic surrounds us.
"Rinbu Rei no Kata ・Gyaku Shiki Setsugekka!"
A great storm descends from the iron-fan and starts cutting down my shields.
"Dammit......"
what an incredible attack. No wonder the other heroes got swept up in it, even I am barely able to hold.
"You two, are you okay?"
"It hurts......"
When I look back both of them looked like they've taken considerable damage.
Because of the ranged cure skill, their wounds were gradually cured.
"Really?......To receive my trump and stand......Your defence is quite something."
The tornado stops, and the enemy appears again.
"I am honoured by your praise."
Though I am quite beat up, we haven't lost yet.
Whether or not we can win this battle of attrition is doubtful.
There is only one move in this circumstance that can reverse the situation.
"Raphtalia"
I catch Raphtalia who falls down.
"What's wrong?"
"......I know"
I believe it.
But if I lose here, then Raphtalia and Firo will die......
I will absolutely not get consumed by anger. I swear so......
Shield of Anger!
Growth Up due to stone of the Zombie Dragon.
Shield of Anger 2
Special Effect: Self-Burning Curse Physical Strength Up Rage of the Dragon Roar Frenzy of Companions
Then-----
A part of the chest and the middle of the forehead is pierced by the Hero of the Sword.
I lost to that human. I was able to understand how much of a humiliation it was for the dragon
The shape of the shield changed from one surrounded by flame to one that resembles a dragon.
Is the cause from......The decaying dragon core?
And as compensation, a black shadow clouds my view......
