Volume 2 - CH 225

The monsters have increased their marching speed.

That alone is terrifying for adventurers.

They had thought they had plenty of time, but now they suddenly had no time at all.

Because the enemy was moving faster, we had to move faster as well.

However, it seems that the catapults are not ready in time.

Furthermore, tHouen’s support fire was also gone.

Losing Houen, who can steadily eliminate the enemy, is a tough thing to deal with, but the citizens of the country are more important.

I will take care of this one myself.

“One-two! [Heaven Split]!”

The Heaven Split, which thoroughly caught the enemy’s attention.

I made sure to cut down several thousand of the monsters, but this time my aim seemed to be a little off.

There are a few enemies left on the right side.

It’s hard to hit a stone cleanly many times, isn’t it!

Well, of course it is!

You know, in fact, I’m not really familiar with this skill yet!

Oh well, maybe I was actually doing it pretty well. …….

Not really sure atho!

I just want to compliment myself here!

“Take this- I know! I don’t get anything for it- [Heaven Split]!”

This time, the left side comes off and hits the monster on the right side directly.

Now it looks like things are going to balance out.

Although, thanks to my skill hitting the mountain of monsters several times, it didn’t fly very far.

The flying distance was about 200 meters. (218 yards)

If I were to fly normally without cutting anything, it would go about five hundred meters. (546 yards)

At this rate, ,……, the mountain of monsters would block my skill from reaching farther.

More importantly, my MP is in trouble!

I only have a total of seven more shots left!

“Come on! Adventurers! I can’t hold out much longer! Can’ t you guys do something?!”

“You know what, Ouren-san! It’s not like we don’t want to help you, the target is out of our range! At least pull them in closer!”

“So you want to say it’s my fault!”

My bad, but…..

I’m afraid to let the monsters get closer.

In the meantime, the adventurers who are available are firing their arrows at them, but it doesn’t seem to be very effective.

It seems to be working for small monsters, though.

Most of them are very big monsters!

A bow and arrows doesn’t seem to be very effective.

Well, I’ll take it as far as I can!

But looking at this situation……

“They haven’t decreased since a while ago!”

There is no sign of it decreasing at all.

On the other hand, hasn’t their number increased……?

I can’t see the end of it.

But those three shots must have slaughtered quite a few monsters.

The heck is happening.

Once again, I readied myself and waited for the enemy to come.

This time, I decided to attack from a closer distance so that the adventurers could also attack.

As expected, I don’t think I can handle it all by myself.

Come on, please… …….

Coul;d any of you (adventurers) shoot some stronger magic or something……?

As I waited for the magic to be released by my allies, I heard a tremendous explosion coming from behind me.

It sounded so loud that I was sure it was not the magic of an adventurer.

I turned around to look behind me and saw black smoke rising from within the castle walls.

Heck, seriously?

WTF is going on here ……?

Is Houen alright there?

The adventurers seem to have been startled by it and interrupted their magic preparations, as well as to have stumbled.

Obviously, they are agitated.

Fighting in a situation where you don’t know what’s going on is scary. ……

And now is not the time to say that!

“F THIS SHIT! [Heaven Split]!!!”

I moved in closer so the adventurers could attack, but the explosion earlier had caused only minor damage.

Sensing that it was not a good idea to let them get any closer, I fired my skill to clear the scene.

I was able to swing through this time.

For the moment, I wiped them out, but they kept coming back after a while.

There was no time to spare for me, considering the repetition of this situation.

I think it’s time to stop Heaven Split and start shooting other skills …….

Up to six more shots.

Although there is still plenty of room, I don’t think I can slaughter all the monsters with six shots left.

Now what to do ……. ……

“…… hmm?”

Something is blowing up the monsters in the back.

Is someone there ……?

Even so, but who?

Not many people have that kind of offensive power, you know?

It’s a huge monster that blows up just like a regular monster.

It’ s pretty far away from here.

Thank God they’re out of range of my Heaven Split.

“Hol’up! I can’t shoot if they’re there! Hey! I don’t know who you are, but you’re in the way!”

I don’t think they can hear me!

Shoot!

Whoever they are, good luck!

“…..ah? Eh? Something just flew this way. ……”

“──── aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHH!”

“WHOAA!!!!”

A black ball flew toward me, and I managed to evade it somehow .

What the hell was that flying at me!

I mean, how the hell did it get here ……?

“Reizen?!”

“Hi, aniki! I’m back!”
