A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 113: (1)

The tremors were far more intense than the ones Kaiyan had felt when Canien destroyed the castle. This was a literal earthquake.

To avoid falling, Kaiyan lowered his stance and looked around. The ground was splitting, and the relentless tremors devoured the ruins that had collapsed.

“What is this sudden…!”

An earthquake out of nowhere was strange.

Kaiyan glanced at Canien, wondering if it was his doing. Canien had been destroying the Lumbanium Castle with his tentacles, so why would he need to cause an earthquake by planting them in the ground?

“…But is it possible, by simply placing the tentacles in the ground, to cause such an earthquake?”

As Kaiyan pondered, he heard Rieka’s voice.

[Kaiyan, could those tentacles be the cause? He planted them, and then the ground started shaking!]

“…Is it possible?”

Kaiyan briefly considered the idea. He had to make a choice quickly. There wasn’t much time left.

“Let’s go!”

With a swift leap, Kaiyan propelled himself into the air, disregarding the shaking ground. Canien, who had been closing his eyes as he placed his tentacles on the ground, finally opened them.

He had wasted precious time by keeping his eyes closed for so long. If he had acted sooner, he might have been able to deal with the situation more easily.

Setting aside his regrets, Kaiyan focused on the task at hand. Right now, dealing with Canien took precedence. If he let the remaining time slip away, he might not have another chance.

“Here I come!”

With a powerful punch, Kaiyan descended from the sky, and Canien, who had just opened his eyes, was caught off guard.

It seemed that even though Kaiyan had an abundance of strength, his stamina was lacking. If he continued like this, he might need to use an elixir.

With his current stamina, he could only deliver about two or three powerful punches. The first time he punched, he didn’t realize that using such a large amount of strength would drain his stamina quickly. The force he unleashed was more than his body could handle.

“This is unpleasant. Activate Aura.”

As he activated Aura, a surge of power flowed through his entire body. With this newfound strength, Kaiyan charged at Canien.

“Kwaaah!”

With his hands overflowing with strength, Kaiyan swung his fist towards Canien’s face without any finesse.

Fwoosh!

A single strike split Canien’s face in two, spraying dirty green blood in all directions. However, what Kaiyan hadn’t anticipated was…

[Ugh! There’s blood on my fur!]

“…I should have used Blaze Armor if I knew this was going to happen.”

The amount of blood splattering in all directions was staggering, considering the size of Canien’s tentacles.

The tentacles that should’ve stopped moving moved toward Kaiyan, who to his surprise threw a punch at them.

As the tentacles and extended fists clashed, a tremendous shock and recoil were generated, pushing Kaiyan back.

“…Was it not enough?”

[Still, Canien’s tentacles are completely damaged!]

Setting aside his disappointment, Kaiyan raised his head and looked at Canien. Canien was frowning deeply as he retrieved his tattered tentacles.

Throughout the battle, Canien’s main weapon had been his tentacles. Now that they were all but destroyed, capturing him was only a matter of time.

“Then let’s go again… huh?”

As Kaiyan was about to adjust his posture to stop himself from flying backward, he looked down.

“A chasm?”

Right below, instead of the ground, there was a deep abyss.

A dark and fearsome abyss, so dark that merely looking at it induced fear.

[Kaiyan! Quickly, use your title!]

“Yeah, right! Activate the title ‘Guardian of the Sky’!”

[You have exceeded the usage limit.]

Hearing Rieka’s words, Kaiyan desperately used the title, but only then did he hear the notification in his mind.

“Oh, I used it three times already.”

[Huh? What should we do now?]

“I need to think…”

[It doesn’t seem like we have time for that! How about entering the spatial realm?]

“I tried that already, but for some reason, it won’t open, probably because of Canien.”

[Then, how about a magic scroll that lets you fly with G-Points!]

“…As far as I remember, I had about 150 G-Points, but are there any scrolls available for purchase?”

[We’re in trouble.]

Kaiyan regretted purchasing emergency scrolls or potions in such a hurry. What was so urgent that he had to spend his G-Points immediately?

While Kaiyan and Rieka were brainstorming for a solution, Kaiyan’s body was slowly descending into the abyss.

“Ugh… I just can’t think of anything.”

[Me neither…]

No matter how much they thought, a solution didn’t come to mind. Currently, Kaiyan only had a little time left of his enhanced strength, and using it to escape from the hundreds of meters deep abyss was an impossible task.

“Hehehehehe! You insect! I regret not killing you with my own hands! You’ll never return alive from Havemime!”

Just as Kaiyan was about to be completely engulfed in the darkness of the abyss, Canien’s triumphant voice echoed.

“Havemime?”

[Even if we’ve inflicted that level of injury, won’t the Mareon Empire take care of him? We need to think about how we can survive!]

Escape from the abyss, which was so deep that even high agility couldn’t see the bottom, was the real challenge.

“…Let’s pray we don’t die. As long as we don’t die, we’ll figure something out… Oh!”

In the midst of his half-resigned thoughts, a method passed through his mind.

“There are random skills!”

[Oh! If a magic related to flight comes out from there!! Please use it quickly!]

“If it shows up, make sure it’s something good this time too! I trust you! Use the random skill!”

Desperately pleading with the unknown entity, Kaiyan activated the skill.

Ding! [Song of Courage (C): Grants courage to allies within a 30m radius of the user when the skill is used] [1 use]

“….Bastards.”

This is why gambling is terrifying. Thinking that if it goes well once, it will keep going well.
