Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer, ~ I who was a Sage and a Hero of Previous World, Will Live in Peacefulness in the Next World~ - Chapter 217

◆ gyro

“Oh, here they come!”

Hordes of demons are coming from all directions to surround the World Tree.

I didn’t expect them to come at a time when my brother was not around.

There are so many!

Nolbu’s getting out of shape right away.

I’ve been trained by my brother… but I’m still weak-minded…

“I don’t care how many of them there are!　You just have to beat them all!”

I pat the battered Nolbu on the back to get him fired up.

“It’s not enough just to beat them. The enemy is after the fruit of the world tree. If we can’t stop them from getting what they want, it won’t matter if we kill them all!

Then Mina’s guy said something annoying.

“We’ll just have to kill them all before they come up here!”

“I don’t think it’s possible to wipe out this many people.”

“Of course. There are too many of them.

It seems that not only Nolbu but also Meghri doesn’t want to go head-to-head.

Well, Meghri is a bandit so he’s not very good at fighting by force.

“In any case, if we don’t defeat the demons, we won’t all be safe. After all, we’re surrounded by everything.

As if to beat Mina and the others’ asses, Miss Lilieira raises her voice.

Right!　You’re right, Miss Huang, she knows what she’s doing!

Being scared won’t change anything!　Then it would be better to kill as many demons as possible, even a second before worrying about it, so that the number of enemies will decrease and it will be better!

“Hmm, we can fly, but everyone in the township who can’t jump can’t escape.”

“There’s no point in dilly-dallying!　If we can’t get out of here, we’ll just beat the hell out of them all!

“So think a little more.”

What do you want me to do, then?

I’ll fire a big shot of magic and blow the front line demons away, and Nolbu can use his wall magic to put up a wall outside the fortress.

“We can do what we can, but we can’t burn them with that many people, can we?”

There are so many of them, I wonder where they came from.

“Still, the wall will buy us some time. It buys us some time until Lex arrives.

“Oh come on, you’re relying on your brother from the start. Let’s do this on our own for a change!　We’ve been entrusted by my brother to defend this place.”

“How are you going to manage this huge army?　I’m telling you, I can’t keep up my magic even with my most powerful magic in a row.”

d*mn it, Mina’s so scared of the number of demons that she’s missing something important.

“That’s the thing. We’re going for the boss.

“Boss?　But that’s what Lex is going to be looking for, isn’t it?”

Mina tilts her head and says, “What are you talking about?

“No, the boss is here.”

“What makes you say that?”

“That’s because there are so many demons. They’re after the fruit of the world tree, right?　Then the boss must be following us so his men don’t eat them all by themselves. To eat them himself.”

I see. That’s certainly possible. Even in a herd of beasts, the boss is the first to eat the best part.

Miss Lilieira agreed with me.

I knew a skilled adventurer would understand quickly!

“Hmmm, wild guesses. That makes sense.”

I can’t praise you more honestly than that.

d*mn, he’s not so honest.

I’ll summarize. We have three conditions for victory. Protecting the fruit of the World Tree and the World Tree and protecting the people of the township. And to defeat the monsters. It’s hard to kill all the demons so you have to defeat the boss or hold out until Lex comes back!

“Oh!”

“Okay, okay.”

“Nnh.”

“Yes, sir.”

“And finally, try not to die!　If you live, your injuries can be healed, so fight not to die!”

“””””Oh, wow!!!”””””

The elves shout at the words of Liliela’s sister.

“Leave it to me!　I’m used to getting hurt enough not to die!”

“Yes!　Thanks to Master Lex, we can now step into the world on the edge!”

“I don’t think I’d want you to set foot in that world too much.”

“Leave it to us to deal with the demons that have entered the World Tree. The weapons forged by the blacksmithing skills of His Majesty the Honorable King Rex will not pass through the fangs of demons!

The dwarves are also in high spirits, dressed in their new equipment.

“Yes!　Let’s go then, boys!

Mina.

“”””””Oh!!!””””””

At Gyro’s command, the Elven and Dwarven warriors break into a roar and rush to the ground.

“You idiot!　I was supposed to attack first!”

“I’m the chief warrior. ……”

“…… good luck.”

Megli patted Ms. Sharaza on the shoulder as she looked sadly at the elven warriors who had rushed out.

This is not the time to be watching such a scene!　We need to strike first, and fast!

“Then I’m going to hit you with a big one!　Froststorm!!!”

I unleash a storm of extreme cold against the demons surrounding the World Tree.

The storm freezes the demons that move through the forest at once.

“Oh, oh!　The demons are freezing!”

Furthermore, the fog that fills the Lost Forest further freezes the frozen monsters, turning them into huge blocks of ice, or rather ice walls.

The frozen demons are also becoming an obstacle, preventing the demons from advancing!

“Amazing. It’s more powerful than our magic with the help of spirits. ……!

The elves look at the demons trapped in the ice wall and exclaim in amazement.

Hmph…we put a lot of magic power into it…. They should be surprised at least this much.

“Ha-ha-ha …… Norbu!　And take care of the rest!”

Yes, yes!　Grand Circle Tchaika!

Nolbu activates his magic, and the earth rises up in a wide area, forming another fortress over the elves’ fortress covering the World Tree.

“Whoa!　There is a huge wall outside the fort!

Moreover, as if Nolbu had taken care of it, the newly built wall had a spider web of passageways connecting it to the inner fortress.

“This should slow down their progress a little.

“Yes!　I’ll take care of the rest, you get some rest!　Let’s go, Miss Liliela, Megli!”

As we slumped down, out of breath, the gyros flew out with their flight magic.

“Yeah!”

Hmm!

“Don’t rely on the guests alone!　The World Tree is ours to protect!”

“””””Oh!!!”””””

More elves and dwarves ran toward the ground.

“Well, we must drink our mana potions and get back to the fight!

“Woah!　Firestrike!

I gush fire from my weapon and smash all the demons into a single side with my sword magic.

“Korrah!　You can’t use fire techniques in the forest!”

“What?　Oh, I’m sorry!

“It’s okay. The forest is full of fog, so the fire won’t spread.

Mina scolded me, but Miss Lilieira told me that there was no damage thanks to the fog.

“Really!　Lucky!”

“Still, be careful. You just got lucky this time.”

I guess so. I know burning the forest is a bad idea.

“Oh!　Next time I won’t fail!　But what if we can’t use fire? And the only thing I can use is recovery. ……”

I can’t beat the enemy with recovery magic.

“Well, my brother said that magic is all about image, so let’s try a new technique!　Magic that shines like fire and restoration and doesn’t burn. …… Yeah, that’s a pain in the ass! Get out the flame that doesn’t burn!

I poured my magic power into the sword, hoping for a flame that burns but does not spread.

Then a different white flame came out from the sword.

“Oh?　Something came out!”

I had never seen this white flame before, but I was somehow convinced that it was safe.

“Yes, this will work!　Take that!　My new special move!　Uh, unburnt fire slash!”

My blow knocks the demon out of the surrounding trees.

But the flames only cut the demons, not the trees around them.

And the flames don’t seem to be spreading.

It’s not burning!

That’s good!

“Hey!　What kind of magic is that?

“Heh heh heh, it’s a non-flammable flame magic!”

“Huh?　What is that?　When did you learn to use that kind of magic?

Now!

“Die.”

“Don’t suddenly sound so serious, ……, you’re scaring me.”

Suddenly, Mina’s sword suddenly filled with murderous intent, and I involuntarily fell to my feet.

“How can someone who hasn’t studied magic seriously be able to use such complicated magic ……?”

“It’s a trick that can only be done with chantless magic that doesn’t require chanting, isn’t it?”

It’s too crazy.

I wonder if that’s called genius, too.

They’re starting to understand how great I am.

“Yes!　I’m in the groove!

Now that I don’t have to worry about the fire spreading to the forest, I can unleash my magic without hesitation.

The elves swarmed the demons we couldn’t kill, and spears and arrows came flying in from behind to support the dwarves.

“Heh heh, that’s a good feeling!”

Maybe this will do something before my brother gets here!

We kill the oncoming demons one after another.

“Now all we have to do is find the boss hiding in the middle of all this. …… Hey!　I know you’re out there, demon boss!　Don’t be ashamed to hide among my minions!　Are you scared of us?”

I provoke the demon boss hidden in the herd.

“You know, I don’t think a demon can understand such a provocation from a human.

I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe they’ll respond.

That’s when it happened.

I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

I followed my instinct and ran for shelter as fast as I could, and right after that, a huge pair of scissors came out of the ground.

And the scissors slam shut like I’m cutting off the place I’ve been.

“That’s ……”

Everyone’s eyes are drawn to the sudden appearance of the big scissors.

At the same time, the ground shakes and a huge monster appears out of it.

“Hehe, you make a spectacular appearance, don’t you?

The presence emitted from its large body is distinctly different from that of other demons.

“There’s no doubt!　This is the boss!”
