Chapter 119.2. Spring In Full Bloom
However, its weakness can be somewhat defended against with magic weaponization. It's a vulnerability for those without a physical body. Huh?
So, was it a one-shot with an area attack? No, it's a summon beast superior to me. It won't be that easy. Oh, right, I heard before that familiars are lower level than their summoner? Well, well, well, are summon beasts weak to special attacks like magic or aura?
I'm confused, but Shizuku lowers her hips and continues speaking.
"Thanks for leveling up so high. I don't understand why you bothered since only melee attacks work."
[Accelerator]
With a light step on the ground, Shizuku's body disappears, leaving an afterimage. No, she closes in on the earth spider at a speed almost as if she vanished.
Surprisingly, the earth spider seems to have seen that speed. It swings its legs, attempting to stab with a spear-like motion. Shizuku, accelerating and closing in, sways her body to narrowly avoid its legs. She uses those legs as stepping stones and confidently enters the center of the enemy group.
As other earth spiders approach, swinging their legs to pierce, Shizuku attempts to dodge by creating large holes in the ground with thunderous footsteps. It's like pounding leaves with fists, but she skillfully avoids them like feathers swayed by the wind.
Laughing with a smirk, Shizuku dances through the midst of the continuous attacks, wielding a small sword.
[Storm Blade]
Shizuku's arm disappears, and storm-like sword strikes become silver threads that dash around. The sword blade extends rapidly, enlarging enough to envelop the surroundings.
[Big Storm Blade]
Soon, it covers all the earth spiders, easily tearing through their supposedly tough carapaces.
She lands on the ground, swings the small sword with a swoosh, and the earth spiders fall apart with a thud.
"They were small fry."
"At least for you, Rei-san."
"Hmm, area attacks are powerful... Well, isn't the current power strange? These are quite large earth spiders, equivalent to tank armor, right?"
With an indifferent face, Shizuku. She shows an entirely unapproachable force, and Yukihana tilts her head looking curious. But I understand. It's the explosive power produced by combining mana and aura.
There's something else I understand.
Yukihana could have handled this. Yeah.
But since Shizuku is boasting, I won't say it.
"Also, we need to kill the remaining three. They have decent equipment."
"You read my mind, huh? Well, whatever. Shall we chase them?"
The enemies are panicking, trying to escape with their escorts. It won't be that easy. Good going out, but the return is scary. The toll for the return is high.
"Rei, you chase them. I'll pursue with a spear."
"Understood."
[Mana Lance]
Generating a crystal-like spear and firing it. I wish it could surpass the speed of sound, but it's impossible for now. Using mana again, but it's better than letting them escape.
Chasing the escaping enemies with the shadow cat, Shizuku rushes into the building. The man who summoned the Earth Spiders seems to have allocated his stats to low physical abilities. He's quite slow.
Like a fierce beast, Shizuku runs through the building, and one loyal man blocks her path. A man with strong loyalty, standing firm even in a losing battle.
[Hard Shield]
[Accelerator]
Creating a light shield, the soldier confronts Shizuku, but she accelerates and smoothly passes by.
"Facing someone with a shield is like fighting a bull."
The purpose is different. Shizuku closes the distance to the fleeing enemy captain, and the remaining soldiers, in a hurry, draw their swords. They seem to understand that automatic rifles won't work. Moreover, realizing that shields are useless after being bypassed.
[Flash Blade]
[Aura Combustion]
[Hard Skin]
The soldier's hand holding the sword shines, and high-speed sword strikes approach Shizuku. But when they touched her skin, they bounced off with a clink. Burning the internal aura to increase resistance with [Aura Combustion] and hardening the skin with [Hard Skin], the defense power is not overcome by the enemy's attack power.
[Flash Blade]
With a light laugh, Shizuku uses the same technique on the astonished enemy. The soldier's head is instantly severed, falling to the ground.
"Flash Blade is a light, high-speed strike. It can be easily blocked with proper preparation."
[Flash Blade]
Kicking away the torso of the soldier, Shizuku rotates with her right foot as a pivot, releasing another flash and swinging the sword.
Behind her, an enemy who managed to slip through pursues her, but Shizuku's high-speed strike beheads him.
"Be careful of the arm difference when approaching enemies. Trying to ambush may result in being ambushed in return."
Saying so, Shizuku mutters as the enemy captain, pierced by a magic spear, remains.
I breathe a sigh of relief as it seems to have hit perfectly. Remote control through the shadow cat is still challenging.
And in the eyes of the scattered shadow cats, there are still no signs of enemies.
It seems they've all been defeated. Mana remaining: 63... It's cutting it close. It's tough against a military force. I need more power.
"It's spring, and the flowers of blood are blooming, refreshing."
Totally, is this the beginning of spring? It's tiring.
"Soon, cherry blossoms may bloom in this land."
"That's occult, you know."
Shizuku, who returned from the building, joins the conversation, and I look around.
"... Those guys, didn't they only have automatic rifles?"
"Indeed. They also had skill-specific equipment."
Swords and staffs. They wore combat gear, but weapons and shields were separate. Quite unusual. Weapons like these aren't usually obtainable.
"Shall we follow the rules of the abandoned town?"
As usual. Should we gather Shingen and the others?
"We have no choice but to go back."
"My mana is also depleted. Well, with this much equipment obtained, our first business of the year is a success, right?"
As Shizuku says. There's no choice but to go back.
"A bandit's trade, huh?"
"The business in the ruined city is diverse."
Saying this sarcastically to Yukihana, I shrugged my shoulders and headed back to the jeep. Haa. We went out so enthusiastically. Reality is harsh.
