53 42: Enemy Attack.txt





 He rolled on the ground and slammed his back into a tree with a heavy hand.


 I didn't see any sword or magic working on that guy. ......

 I didn't know Abyss Walker was that strong.


 I was surprised to experience the strength shown by the Abyss Walker-like creature that Lloyd and the others were supposedly fighting against.


 But we can't just let them walk around like this.

 I have to find a way to defeat it.


 I put all my strength into my aching body and force myself to stand up from the ground.

 But the creature that looked like an Abyss Walker that had kicked me to the ground had already disappeared deep into the forest.


'Master Flick! It's okay!


 Noelia, who had swooped down and landed Dimolu, ran up to me with a hint of blood in her eyes.


'Yeah, I'm fine. I've been strengthening my body, so my internal organs haven't ruptured ...... but I think I've got some bruises and cracked bones.


 He spat the bloody spit in his mouth behind a tree.


'Get well soon! O mana in my body! Be the light that heals everyone you touch. Healing Light


 Noelia ran up to me and touched her hand to my abdomen, and a warm glow eased the pain in my body.


'Thank you ...... for easing the pain a lot,'

'Yes, sir. Let me just take off my jacket and check for any other scratches.

Oh, yeah. Oh, please.


 Noelia wanted to examine my body for any other scratches, so I took off my upper body leather armor in front of her.

 Then Noelia blushed and found a small scrape on my body and touched it with her hand, breathing roughly and activating a healing light (healing light).


 That's about as much of a graze as it gets, and I don't need to force myself to recover if I'm so tired that I can't catch my breath.

 And I've learned to use recovery magic to some extent from Noelia's teaching me how to use it.


 When I couldn't see Noelia breathing roughly, I suggested that I heal the wound myself.


''Noelia, if you're tired, do you want me to heal it myself?''

'What? Wow! No, I'm not. I'm not tired at all. Rather, I feel energized or ...... uplifted. Oh, no, that's not it. It's okay. Let me do this much for you.


 Noelia waved her hand exaggeratedly and said she wanted me to leave her recovery to her.

 The place is just a place, and it's not nice to be collapsed with fatigue, but since he says he's fine, I, as an apprentice, didn't feel comfortable saying no.


I'm sure you'll be able to find it. Then it's fine, but ......

Yes, it's fine. But the figure from earlier, that's definitely an Abyss Walker ....... But my father told me that Abyss Walkers are not magically immune to magic: ...... and my mother said that she used magic to beat down Abyss Walkers.


 As I finished healing, Noelia was talking about the Abyss Walker I saw earlier as I was putting on the leather armor I had taken off.


 It is true that Noelia was right, even though it was a low grade magic, I don't think it had any effect at all on the Abyss Walker just now.


''Could it be that the power of my magic was too weak?

'Most sorcerers would have to lose their jobs if they were said to be weak due to the power of Flick-sama's magic. I thought we should see that he was reducing or nullifying magic in the same way Cerberus did.

"I knew it, ...... and that skin was unusually hard. ......

Is it possible that what we saw was another creature in the form of an Abyss Walker: ......


 Me and Noelia have heard of the Abyss Walkers that occurred during the big raid, but we've never actually fought them.

 But I shudder to think that many of them crawled out of Abyss Falls.


 Noelia seemed to have the same impression.


It's a good idea to go after that one that got away. We haven't even confirmed if the magic sword will work.

'Yes, it was! Master Flick still had his magic sword.

'Yeah, we haven't lost yet. Those are the ones that should never be flooded.


 We decided to go after the escaped Abyss walker again.

 We searched for traces of the escaped Abyss walker until nightfall, but could not find any trace of the walker.

 So we gave up the chase and joined up with Lloyd and the others to report back to them.



It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference. That sword is very sharp!

'And you don't know if the magic will work? You're sure it was an Abyss Walker: ...... The Abyss Walkers we fought were popped by Florina's magic.

'The Abyss Walker that the two of you reported to me is ...... and is a new species or ....... I can't believe it's that strong in one piece or something .......

"If you can't understand swords and magic, you'll be in a lot of trouble ......


 The faces of the attendees who heard our report were cloudy in the tent of the Knights built at the entrance of the Demon's Forest.

 The attendees were Lloyd, the frontier count, Myth, the knight captain, and even Linus and Gawain, the director of the Institute of Magic Research, who for some reason were accompanied by Gawain.


''But the Abyss Walkers we encountered have shown themselves to be just as strong as I mentioned before.


 Hearing Noelia's words, the faces of those present were even more cloudy.


'It's been 20 years since the end of the great attack. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's seen the Abyssal walker in the last 20 years, but I didn't expect it to be as strong as it is.


 Hearing the report from his daughter, who had been telling him about the threat of Abyss Walkers so often, Lloyd also had a puzzled expression on his face.

 It seems that compared to the Abyss Walkers they fought, the individual Abyss Walkers we fought against were substandard and strong.


''Neither swords nor magic could be understood. However, we haven't tried the magic sword yet, so if it is as effective as the Cerberus battle, we will still be able to deal with it.

That's right. You haven't tried your magic sword yet, have you?


 Even Lloyd, who had a puzzled expression on his face, seemed to find hope in the existence of my magic sword, which had a proven track record of defeating Cerberus.


 Even though it was hard, it didn't mean that it couldn't cut through the skin, and if the sword's blade touched the inside, it should be able to tap into the magic effect.

 If he could inflict wounds with that, he shouldn't be an opponent that he couldn't defeat.


 I don't want to think of it as the last trump card, but from the way I fought it, if the magic sword didn't work, it seemed like there would be no next move.


''I am confident that that magic sword of yours, Flick-sama, will be fine. That Abyss Walker will fall to the ground with flames spewing out of his body just like Cerberus.

''That's true. It's true that the power of that magic sword was not half as powerful as it should have been.


 The two people who were watching the Cerberus battle knew the power of my magic sword, so their complexion was brighter than the others present.

 At that moment, the noise behind the tent suddenly became noisy.


''Te, enemy attack! We've got a speed demon invading the encampment! Catch--goddard.

Oh, hey! That's an Abyss Walker! Abyss Walker is on board! Get him!

He's got a weapon! You're kidding, Abyss Walker is a weapon!

They're shooting at us! Get out of the way! Kahaha!

Oh, hey! Come on! No, no, he's dead.


 The sounds of confused voices and explosions outside echoed through the tent.

 Those of us who were inside quickly grabbed our own weapons and went outside.


 Outside, smoke and flames were rising from the tent as the tent burned, and knights with weapons in their hands were running in all directions.


'All of you, calm yourselves! Report enemy numbers!


 Lloyd was giving instructions to the panicking knights in a well spoken voice.

 On Lloyd's cheek, he saw a red light extending from deep in the forest.


 That light, I have a bad feeling about something.


''Frontier Count-sama! Get down!


 Feeling a bad feeling, I pushed Lloyd, who was illuminated by the red light, down to the ground.


 In the next moment, the tent behind Lloyd exploded all at once and burst into flames.


''Explosion? What in the world is going on here!

"Protect Master Lloyd! Don't let them touch that red light!


 Instantly, Myth leapt in front of Lloyd and stood in his place.

 There was a red light again.

 This time, it was aimed at Noelia.


''Noelia! Avoid!

What?


 Noelia noticed the red light, but she didn't show any signs of avoiding it as if she was cowering in fear.


 d*mn it, we're going to make it!


"Be a wall of stones, and let it appear where my fingers point. A wall of stones!


 The stone wall I had activated rises before the red light that had captured Noelia.

 At that moment, the stone wall had shattered with the explosion.


 However, thanks to the stone wall, Noelia was not caught in the explosion.


 I ran up to Noelia and stood in front of her to protect her.


'Frick-sama ...... I'm sorry for slowing you down,'

'No, I'm glad you're okay. But still, that attack ...... isn't magic by any means, right?

''Yes ......, but it's about as powerful as advanced magic. Also, the distance I was irradiated was quite far away, but I couldn't see the moment of the explosion.


 Noelia, who had regained her composure, was muttering a thought about the red light from earlier.

 In the meantime, an explosion was still occurring from the irradiated red light.


 There are only two illuminated lights ...... that have attacked us, or are there only two people who have attacked us.


 Explosions were occurring in various places, but there were probably only about two enemies.

 Soon, the red light that had been irradiated disappeared from view.


''They're coming this way! Sword at the ready!


 A voice came from the knights at the far end of the encampment.


'Everyone, let's go! Flick, you're bad enough, but I need your help.


 Lloyd and the rest of the knights in his escort were running out towards the raised voices.


'I understand. I'll be right there. Noelia, can you go?

Yes, I won't slow you down.

Okay, let's go.


 Me and Noelia and Noelia rushed out to the back of the encampment, following Lloyd and the others.
