Isekai Tensei no Boukensha - 283 Chapter 19

”I don’t think he’s from the Empire…”

“I don’t think he’s human.”

At first, I thought that my grandfather and I were human wizards, but I immediately understood that they were not human when I looked under the cloak that was wrapped around the wind.

”Ah, is it true that Temma and Jeanne ran into each other in the [Forest of the Elderly]?”

“No, I think it’s an individual separate from (…) I don’t know the small difference because it’s rich, but obviously the atmosphere is different.”

Rich was spooky, too, but now he’s more spooky in front of me. I was convinced that this guy was scared and stronger.

“Grandpa, I’m going in, please cover me.” But since you don’t know the power of the opponent, you don’t have to walk far enough to cover them. ”

“Hmm, I got it.” Temma, be careful. He’s the creepiest I’ve ever encountered. I feel like a dragon zombie when I don’t like it. ”

My grandfather felt the same way about me. So far, there is no sense of intimidation as much as dragon zombies, but there is a good chance that they are still holding on to the signs because they did not feel the signs until the [fire whirlwind] was extinguished.

“And, Grandpa… if you ever get out of here, I need you to get out of Primera.”

If I lose here, even if that Rich is dealt a heavy blow by a herd of zombies, it is highly likely that he will march into the capital without the (…) fragment (…) of the criminal (…) who gave it to him (…). You’ve outrun the Allies on the Houston Frontier, so you’ll have the intelligence to do it.

“Tell me something stupid, and let’s kick it off!” And I’ll tell Primera and the others! ”

“That’s right. If we’re going to report it, it has to be a victory.”

When I heard the word, I tried not to think about it. It seemed that Rich and Dragon Zombie-like signs in the [Forest of the Elderly] had made him feel weak in no time.

“That’s right! Go!”

As Grandpa pushed my back, I took out Ko Karasuma and rushed towards Rich.

…………

I don’t know if Rich was surprised by my rush or if it was because it was as expected, but he’s moving his mouth around like a word. And the next moment, I took out a big sickle (…) from somewhere as if it suited me. This time, I thought that it would be a magical meeting as well as [Old Man’s Forest] Rich, so it was surprising that Rich looked at Ko Karasuma in front of him and stood up to him physically (Kama).

”Rather than being rich, it’s like [Reaper] in a story… well, there’s no such thing as a real [Death (…) God (…)] cute”

I muttered to myself, but it was not because I could afford it, but because if I remained silent, I would lose to Rich’s spookiness and become weak.

It’s my first time fighting an opponent with a sickle, but since this weapon is shorter, I’m going to dive in the same way as my old long opponent……

(It’s been prevented! It’s better than I thought!)

It was prevented by the scythe pattern. Moreover, it wasn’t just prevented, but even though it was an attack that went further and faster at close range and took the back, Rich responded well to the blow.

(Besides, the power is strong)

It was pushed together in the air with the attack prevented, but Rich’s force was so strong that even though it was the body of the bone, where did it come from? When I relaxed my mind, it seemed like it would be pushed aside. It lasted for a few seconds.

“Ugh! Damn it!”

The next moment I thought that the pressing force had loosened for a moment, Rich swung down the sickle to rotate his body. It seemed to be a bullshit attack method, but in addition to the fast rotational speed, the weight of the sickle itself was added, and the blow was a combination of considerable weight and sharpness.

If the reaction had been delayed a little longer, my body would have been split into two by the sickle blade, but I was able to get the sickle blade from Kouwamaru nearby. However, because I was attacked in an impossible position, I was bounced to the ground, and I was temporarily left defenceless.

I won’t let you do it!

Rich tried to pursue me in such a state, but my grandfather cast magic between me and Rich, so I interrupted the attack and kept a distance.

And this time, it was Rich who turned his body toward Grandpa.

You’re going to dodge that!

I took out all the [Air Blit] I had fired and turned my body back on us.

It’s moving fast!

Rich was going to settle for melee, not magic, and all of a sudden he was coming from the sky. Because of the increased rate of falling, it could have been a deadly blow if we had delayed our reaction a bit. Maybe it’s close to my maximum speed under normal conditions.

(I haven’t used magic yet, but… it’s better to think of physical abilities as complementary or greater.)

Rich’s attack prevented him from releasing a blow to the counter, and the meeting ended up as it was, but there was no decision to strike each other.

I didn’t know why Rich didn’t use magic, but I would appreciate it if you didn’t use it unless you knew what the other person was capable of. Well, it’s plenty to think of using magic in the most effective scenes, and because of the close-quarter battles, Grandpa, who had been turning around for support earlier, was turning around with me and Rich at a distance without being able to use his magic.

(I can’t read the attack because my expression doesn’t change….)

Because it’s a monster with a skeleton figure, there’s no facial expression, so I can’t read the emotional changes. However, it seems that the emotion itself is not completely lacking because the mouth is sometimes rattled. However, if you can’t read even if you lack emotions, it doesn’t make sense. Even if you can fight each other now, you will start to be pressed.

“(What do we do? Distance once, or attack all at once…) I’m done!”

I guess that’s what I had to think for a moment. At that moment, I was poked into the loose gap of the attack, and I grabbed the arm of the person holding the small Karasuma in Rich.

(Grunts)

I don’t know if you’re scolding me for being alarmed in the middle of a battle, or if you’re laughing with certainty of victory, but Rich is here for the first time to reveal his emotions.

“Damn it!”

When I saw that creepy laughing face up close, I felt an ominous feeling rather than being cut by a sickle, and I set up a body strike with one or eight. I guess Rich wasn’t expecting this attack. I stopped my creepy face and tried to swing down the sickle, but before that, I tried to keep my body, gained momentum, and kept pushing on the rich.

”Gaaa!”

I pushed into a swarm of Rich Zombies. Anyway, I kept pushing it without thinking about anything, and in time, my altitude dropped and I caught up with a swarm of zombies that were probably falling behind me.

With the impact of thrusting into the herd, Rich rolled to the ground like a zombie, and I was bounced overhead. Fortunately, the shock eased considerably as he leaned against the zombie, causing nothing but a bruise and a light fracture to the pain in his body.

“Temma, back off!”

Just waiting, Grandpa began to emit magic as he watched Rich, who was buried in a swarm of zombies.

“Let’s use healing magic while we still can!” I honestly think that Temma’s attack and this magic will destroy that rich! ”

Grandpa keeps releasing magic without putting it in his hair. If you were an ordinary monster, if you could shower your grandfather’s magic with dozens of shots after colliding with the ground, you wouldn’t be able to keep his form alive, but if that richness was more than the richness that appeared in [Old Man’s Forest]… I don’t think you could defeat it with an attack as close to a dragon zombie.

“Grandpa, I can’t see through the smoke, so stay away from me!”

After healing my injuries with healing magic, I immediately went to my grandfather’s side and distanced myself while keeping an eye on my surroundings.

Well, what happened to Rich?

”As always, I’m not hooked by my magic, so I don’t know where I am or what state I’m in… but I don’t think I’m dead.”

If the opponent could be defeated by this much, the richness of [Old Man’s Forest] would have been defeated by [Tempest] alone, and the magic released by Grandpa earlier was also powerful, but if it was said that it was more powerful than [Tempest], it would be no.

“Temma, can’t you use ‘Tempest’ or ‘Takemika Tochi’?”

“If you just use it, you can, but I think it’s highly likely that it will be richer.” It’s still fine if it just falls off, but I think it’s highly likely that you’ll be able to pierce the gap before and after the magic. ”

The power of [Takemika] might work with that rich, but high-powered magic needs to be prepared accordingly, and the gap after release is huge, so there’s nothing you can do if you hit it. Moreover, it is only said that there is the ability (…) to defeat (…), and it is too dangerous to place a bet at the present time.

“Then you can’t.” The special blow is definitely meaningful… Temma, you’re still alive. ”

“The cloak is blowing up, and it looks like it’s taking some damage… but it doesn’t look like it’s fatal.”

Rich, who was presumably alive, emerged from the smoke with his cloak hidden. If even one of your arms or legs had been blown off, you might be able to win if you keep firing magic with your grandfather, but it looks like there’s no major damage to your bones. At most, some of them are missing.

”That’s why the collisions and magic didn’t work much… I was quite confident in the magic”

“There was a crash on the ground, but there was quite a shock… but if I had made a mistake, I would have been better off”

While saying such a strong thing, Rich was moving his limbs to check his health. I obviously didn’t get half of the damage I expected.

I don’t know if you’re showing us a gap on purpose or appealing to us that it’s nothing, but Rich’s behavior was unnatural. That’s why my grandfather and I can’t move very well.

However, while Rich was checking his health, he stopped moving suddenly for some reason. That’s why I feel it’s more unnatural than the previous movement.

“Grandpa… that Rich, doesn’t it look like he’s in some kind of a hurry?”

“That’s right. Maybe something unexpected happened… it’s really a movement between people…”

Rich sees a fluctuation in emotions, as if the poker face were a lie. It was creepy when I grabbed my arm and squeezed it, but it was also creepy when I was in a hurry.

Maybe because there were too few zombies?

If you think about it, the timing of Rich’s appearance was the moment he tried to defeat more zombies in the second [Fire Whirlwind], and he was so obsessed with close quarters battles that he was reluctant to reduce the number of zombies in a magical encounter, but he was still caught somewhat convinced.

“I don’t know if that’s the right answer, but it might be worth a try… Temma!” It’s not a magic fight from here! ”

Roger that! I’ll take on Rich just like I did before, so try to target the zombies while he covers for me!

It’s not particularly burdensome, and it doesn’t increase the danger, because it only changes the way we fight. Rather, it might help you to take on Rich, so I think it’s the first time my morale and grandfather’s morale have risen since we started fighting Rich here.

“Well then, let’s do it… that’s it!”

When Grandpa cast his magic on a swarm of zombies, Rich tried to cast his magic on Grandpa to stop it.

“Are you too impatient to forget about me?”

Before that, I slammed Halvard on the side of Rich who was looking away.

You look fine, and you’re actually strong!

Actually, there was a buildup of clashes and magic damage, and Halvard’s blow could smash several of Rich’s ribs. I guess it was good that it was a surprise, but I felt exhilarated by the damage I could see clearly for the first time. However, Rich didn’t seem to have any pain, and it was a pity that even if his ribs were smashed, he didn’t show any gestures of pain.

“If Grandpa is distracted, his body will be broken!”

Rich was more concerned with his grandfather even when he was attacked, and although he avoided fatal injuries, he was able to get attacked all he wanted.

“Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

My grandfather kept casting his magic on a swarm of zombies while keeping an eye out for Rich. Thanks to this, the zombie herd quickly reduced its size from half to about two-thirds. If this were a human army, it wouldn’t be strange to be judged annihilated… but since the opponent is a zombie, it’s ideal to bury everything instead of judgment if you can.

My grandfather knows that, and he’s attacking without loosening his hand. In that case, maybe Grandpa’s health or magic would be exhausted before the zombies were gone.

It looks like you’re getting pretty weak, too, so let’s keep winning!

I attacked Rich without loosening my hand, and finally managed to break one of Rich’s arms. But the next moment,

You think I’m gonna let you get away with this!

Rich suddenly turned his back and began to flee. I was distracted by Rich’s defeat in the arm, and I was only delayed for a moment. Maybe Rich sacrificed his arm to get out of here.

“Grandpa, Rich has escaped! Be careful!”

While chasing after Rich, Grandpa halted his attack and moved to distance himself from Rich’s path.

Did you stop?

“If you stop suddenly even if you escape, maybe you’re planning something… no matter what, you’re definitely weakened.” If you’re going to slap me, now is the time. ”

Even though he ran to the point of sacrificing his arm, Rich who stopped halfway was creepy, but his grandfather was right. Even if he was planning something, it was a way of fighting to crush Rich more than to give him time to recover. Rather, if we don’t get rid of it at this time of weakness, that Rich has a fear of not knowing what to do. Besides, if I let you get away with this and you’re fully recovered, you’re going to have to try to kill me from the beginning.

“Ok. Then I’ll go all at once… eh?”

When I tried to emit magic at the same time as my grandfather, something like a black daisy appeared behind Rich. It seems that the zombie is coming out of the zombie, and the zombie that is no longer coming out is collapsing on the spot.

As if it were the soul of a zombie, it never disappeared into the sky, but was continuously sucked into the richness.

”Temma… his arms and wounds are healing…”

Rich, absorbing the riches, regenerated the arms that had shattered before, blocked the wounds in his body, and drifted the original… no, it was more haunting than it was at the beginning.

“I don’t know what the rationale is, but I’m not sure that you’re recovering from that!” The magic power seems to be rising, and you can’t put your hands on it like this! ”

“Grandpa, buy me a little time!” Use ‘Tempest’! ”

Roger that!

In order to slow down Rich’s absorption time a bit, Grandpa began to infuse Rich and Rich with magic. However, it wasn’t very effective for Rich to move it from the spot, and the magic was scattered a little, but it didn’t seem to have completely disappeared.

Temma, it’s coming!

“Grandpa, stay under my protection!”… [Tempest!] ”

When Rich finished absorbing all of his energy, he slowly turned his gaze towards me. Since there were no scratches on his body, either Grandpa’s magic didn’t work or he recovered faster than his magic damage.

Rich, who seemed to have grown stronger than at the beginning, came toward me almost at the same time as Grandpa was moving under me, shaking up his sickle.

I guess we made it in time.

However, before Rich jumped on me, [Tempest] activated, and Rich suddenly clashed with [Tempest] that appeared in front of him.

You’re going to break through!

Rich bumped into [Tempest] and instead of playing it, he tried to force it to break through and didn’t stop moving forward. If we keep going like this, we’ll really have the momentum to break through.

“Grandpa! If you can’t stand it anymore because I will increase your power, you can get caught by my legs!”

When he said that, Grandpa immediately reacted and grabbed my leg.

“‘Tempest F2’… ‘F3′”

The riches encountered in the “Old Man’s Forest” were unbearably rolled up in “Tempest F3”, but it would be necessary to raise them one more step.

“Tempest F4”

I could still increase my power if I had everything I needed, but my magic would be gone if I had any more in my current state.

“Are you still sticking to it…”

Rich also endured the [Tempest] storm, which was even more powerful. However, the momentum of trying to break through to the boulder seemed to have stopped, and he seemed to be desperately holding back on the spot.

In that case, I thought that I would raise it one more stage in preparation for self-destruction, but even though it was difficult to maintain it as it was, there was also a possibility that [Tempest] would disappear at the moment of raising it any further.

I’m still in a state of reversal, but my magic power is about to expire before Rich’s health, so it’s quite unfavorable.

In the meantime,

Even this one!

Grandpa threw a few knives at Rich. Well, the knife got caught up in the [Tempest] and most of it flew somewhere… but just one of them passed right by Rich.

“Grandpa! I’ll give you a weapon you don’t need, so you can throw it at me!”

“Roger that… oh no!” It’s too heavy! I almost got caught up in it! ”

When I dropped down a barrel full of various broken weapons that I had put in my bag to give to Kelly or Master Ganz, Grandpa almost broke his balance as soon as he grabbed the barrel and pushed it into the Tempest. If you think about it, the cask is so big that it’s packed with weapons that it might be a little strange to have a grandfather who can handle it.

Alright, forget it!

It was Grandpa who started throwing weapons, but after throwing about ten,

“Ehhhh, that’s awkward! Temma, next time!”

That’s why I threw it at each barrel and asked for a change.

When I threw the barrel, the weapon in the third barrel hit Rich. I throw every barrel, and when I hit, I hit dozens of weapons.

Rich’s bones were strong enough to finally break with Halvard’s force, but if the power of the [Tempest] were to be used as a weapon of destruction, it would be close to Halvard’s destructive power, and the area where the weapon hit was worn out.

That’s enough!

Grandpa threw the barrel he had in the same place as the third and tried to stab Rich…..

“Exploded!?”

On the verge of being hit by a weapon, Rich suddenly exploded and went blind. I don’t know why it exploded, but I don’t know why it exploded, so I decided to keep looking.

When it was more than ten minutes since Rich became invisible, it became more difficult to maintain [Tempest], so I decided to cancel it.

If I unlock it, Rich, who was hiding from me, might attack me immediately, and the moment I unlock it, I get a pretty big gap. So, at the moment of release, I decided to ask Grandpa to follow up.

“Grandpa, I’ll unlock Tempest.” III. 2. 1… lifted ”

“Ugh!… where did you go?”

At the same time, Grandpa moved in front of me and turned around to watch out for Rich, but Rich was nowhere to be seen.

I took a breath and searched for Rich, but he didn’t seem to be within sight. However, I’m afraid that Rich will be able to erase the signs, so I can’t be sure that he won’t be there even if I can’t find him in Explore.

I can’t even sense the signs of a zombie anymore than I’m rich, but what’s going on with Temma’s magic?

“Wait a minute… it’s true that Rich can’t be found by magic from the beginning, but the zombie signatures have disappeared… at least it seems that there are no zombies within the” “exploration” “range”

Perhaps Rich managed to retrieve the zombies and escape?

“That’s… no, it could be.” That Rich didn’t want the zombies to be defeated along the way, so he could have escaped while he was out of sight of [Tempest]. ”

”Hmm… so that explosion was caused to forcefully move away from the [Tempest] and to escape from the weapon I threw at you?”

“I think so. Maybe it’s because the explosions I triggered are less damaging and I can escape from Tempest instead of hitting a bunch of powerful weapons.” Besides, the damage taken by the explosion will be healed by absorbing the damage emanating from the zombies. ”

I still have a lot of questions, but I think it’s okay to think that Rich has fled somewhere. Well, I haven’t lost my temper yet.

“Anyway, even if Rich is hiding, there’s nothing I can do to restore his health and magic power.” Temma, let’s take a big step back. I was on the ground with a good view, and I was resting. ”

According to Grandpa’s suggestion, I rested on a small hill in the middle of a meadow more than ten kilometers away from where Rich encountered me, but… even if the sun went down and the night was late in the morning, Rich didn’t even show a single zombie.
