24 2 シアの戦い




 I followed Shea as he ran off.

 Slowly, with my weak legs, I continued to move forward, but at full speed.
 My steps were slow, and I couldn't help but feel irritated.

 I wish I could use [Acceleration]. .......
 While feeling frustrated, you continue to get closer.

 The distance to the enemy is about 40 meters.
 It seemed that Shea had already killed most of them, and the corpses of more than ten monsters were stacked on top of each other.

 Behind her, there was a frightened girl.
 Apparently, she had been attacked by a monster.

 ...... That's strange.

 I wondered.
 How could so many monsters attack a single girl all at once?

 No, the first thing I need to do now is catch up with Shea.
 I shook off the doubts in the corner of my head and went as fast as I could.

"There are only two left...

 Shea said with dignity and readied her sword.
 In front of her, there were two monsters side by side.

 One was the Flame Golem, a giant doll-shaped monster about five meters tall.
 As its name implies, it is a golem with its entire body covered in flames, and it has a strong defense and excels at long-range attacks using its flames.

 The other is a two-headed tiger-shaped monster called the Dual Tiger.
 The other is the Dual Tiger, a two-headed tiger-shaped monster with powerful close-quarters combat abilities and the ability to fight at mid-range with wind and lightning magic bullets from its two heads.

 Both look formidable.

 However, they both have between 700 and 1000 HP.
 If they get within the range of my skills, they will die instantly.

 If Shea can't beat them, I'll use [Fixed Damage] to knock them down...

 The battle between Shea and the two had begun while I was still walking.

 The first to move was the two-headed tiger.
 With its tremendous acceleration, it instantly closed in on Shea.

"[Acceleration]

 However, there were not many people who could match her in a battle of speed.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

 It's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
 This is the attack of the Flame Golem that was positioned behind the Dual Tiger.

 Aah!

 The Dual Tigers followed up on Shea, who jumped back and lost her stance.
 It's an amazingly coordinated attack, even for a monster.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm not sure what to do.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... That's not good.

 It is true that her skills are extremely effective in close combat.

 But Shea herself is not a knight by trade.
 You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing.

 However, she lacks experience in actual combat.

 In the battles against the Minotaur and Irina's bodyguards right after she acquired the skill, she was able to push through with just her skill, but when it comes to opponents who are well coordinated like this one, it seems that she can't avoid struggling.

You'll be able to't win with me. ...... Run while you can!

 Shea shouted to the girl behind her.

"Ah ...... ah .......

 But she's too weak to stand up.

"d*mn, if I retreat, she'll...

 Shea's voice was filled with impatience.

 She must have already realized that.
 She must have already realized that it would be difficult for her to win against these two.

 But still, Shea is trying to stand up to protect the girl.
 She may not have much experience in battle, but her soul is that of a real knight.

 Or maybe that's what her sister was.
 She wields her sword for the weak.
 With courage and pride, even against opponents more powerful than herself.

 She may have been a true knight.

"Just hold on a little longer, Shea. I'll go now...

 I whipped my fading legs into shape and kept going.

 20 meters to go......19 meters.......

Ouch! ......

 The flames of the Flame Golem's explosion made Shea retreat.

 18 meters to go......17 meters......16 meters.......

 The dual tigers spit out a magic bullet of wind and lightning that blows Shea further away.

......

 She is knocked to the ground and is unable to get up.
 She might have hurt herself somewhere, or broken a bone.

 15 meters to go......14 meters.......

 Dual Tigers bare their fangs at the fallen Shea.
 From behind it, the Flame Golem is poised to unleash its flames.

 13 meters to go......12 meters.

 Almost there.
 Hold on, Shea...



I'm not going to run away. ......!

 Shea stood up, supporting her sword.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

 The dual tigers unleash magic bullets of lightning and wind, and the flame golems unleash flames of fire.
 It's a great way to get rid of a lot of problems in your life.

 No...

So, there's no need to run away from the beginning. ......!

 Shea raised her sword with an expression as if she realized something.

"[Cutting]...

 She activated her skill and swung her sword down.
 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

The [Darkness] skill [Cutting].

 Its effect is to cut through everything.
 Not just matter, but even magic...

 The two monsters stopped moving as if they were confused.

 It was only for a moment.
 But it was worth a thousand bucks.

 In that split second, I was able to close the final distance.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Shea.

 A moment later, the [Fixed Damage] caught them both.

A moment later, [Fixed Damage] caught them both.

 The two golems and the two-headed tiger collapsed at the same time with a tremendous scream.
 Their bodies turned into countless black particles, which scattered and disappeared.

 Just in time...

 I was relieved that I was able to protect Shea.

 I was also relieved that I was able to protect the girl that Shea had risked her life to protect as well.
