Kuzu Inou【Ondo Wo Kaeru Mono】 No Ore Ga Musou Suru Made - Chapter 104 War in the Forest 5

104 War in the Forest 5

Akai and I cooperate while evaporating the Variants heads.
I didnt count it, but I think we have defeated about 300 of them.
We continued fighting for more than an hour and decreased the number of the enemiesThat was what we were doing, but

This is too muchno matter how you look at it!!

They kept coming out even after we defeated them.
Who the h.e.l.l produced this much!!
Anyway, theres too much. Our extermination speed cant catch up with it at all.

Hey, Serizawayoure losing your breath. Are you okay?

Akai who fought beside me, calls me out.
I want to say No problem, I still can go on, but

This might be a littlebad

To be honestnot a little, but its really bad.
I seemed to be scared of the crowd of the Variants, and I charged towards them from the start with almost full power. At first, my condition was good, butwhen I think calmly, theres no way I can defeat them continuously at such pace.
I jumped too soon without thinking of the consequences. As a result, Im at this mess. Im severely in need of water and oxygen. And also, due to the shock of the high speed movement of Ignition, my intestines were rocking violently, so Im feeling considerably sick. I feel like I want to vomit.
Its about a little more than one hour since the battle started. My body is very exhausted already. Im not that weak to complaint just by some blows and scratches, but this is bad. I totally made a mistake in the stamina allotment.
My knees are starting to shake.

I overdid it from the startif this goes on, I will definitelydie!

Its not like Im not confident of my stamina, but this is something of another level. Battles after battles. Fierce battles after fierce battles. Its parade of battles to the extent that I want to praise myself for not getting any serious wounds.
In addition, while my stamina is being depleted, they keep on coming out.

Dont tell me they sp.a.w.n infinitely?

Hey, already exhausted? Theres still more to come, you know?

It somehow sounds like Im a weak guy, but Im a healthy guy and I have some stamina. This guy is a little weird as he can still be composed even after running and fighting for more than an hour.

HaahaaAh, I want to rest!!

Of course, the monsters in front of us, wont let us rest.
But I cant run anymore. I have reached my limit. If I move any further, I will definitely die due to lack of oxygen.

In order to survive at this place
I need to conserve energy. Energy conservation battles.
From now on, I need to use the super-energy conserving tactics. I have no choice.

But how can I do that?
Is there a good idea
I think desperately while lacking of oxygen.
Somehow, something like shooting a beam from my hand Ah, s.h.i.t!!! I cant think properly!!!

Dammit, what should I do!!

No.
Beam?
Wait a minute.
Thats not impossible.

Combining Heat Cut and Heat Upright. I might be able to do it.
But I need time to concentrate for a while. During that time, I need Akai to protect me.

Akaistay on my side for a whileplease dont throw me away, okay? I cant move for a while from now on. Protect me
O-Oh?

While saying such disgusting words, I image the Heat Cut long and thin, and concentrate on my right index fingerand fire a line of heat towards the Variants middle forehead.

Heat Ray

I wont think of a name for it. Because I have no time for that.
The line of light fired from my finger, hit the targeted point, and the next moment, the Variants head becomes redand blows up.
The blast blows the Variants around all at once, and also moving down the nearby trees.

Holys.h.i.tthis is much more powerful than expected

Thats a miscalculation, but its fine. I can use this. I have such conviction.

Hey, Serizawajust now?
From now on, I will fight with that. Because I dont want to move anymore. Soprotect me from now on, okay?
O-Oh?

And I fix my legs on that spot, narrow down the target to 10 Variants in front, and fire continuous lights from my right index finger.

Heat Ray

Bobobobobobo!!!
Receiving a way thinner ray than the previous one, the 10 Variants heads blew up and their bodies crumbled.

Okay, looks like I can adjust the power

This is honestly a technique that requires concentration.
I need time to concentrate on the target, and theres a lag before its fired.
I think it cant be used in a melee. But my aim is to recover my stamina now.
This is fine.
With this, I can at least rest my legs while fighting.

I rely on you, Akai. I wont be moving from here for a while. Protect me as if protecting a stone statue
Ahunderstood

Replying shortly, Akai jumped in front while scattering fireb.a.l.l.s in order to attract the Variants. At his back, I who have became a fixed battery, blow up the Variants head one after another.
First, the closest ones. When they are all dead, I move towards the further ones. Once thats finished, I will search for the ones that are in my range, and crush them one after another.
Its just like a shooting game, but its not exhilarating at all. If I dont know that they are formerly humans, I might be able to enjoy this a little.

Its finally starting to decrease a little

Breaking the crowd of monsters, I can see the forest. Were through.
Although its only one part, we broke through the crowd of monsters that I thought to be infinite.

I can finally see some hope.
We might return alive.
The moment I thought so, I can see the figure of a human at the end of my vision.

Whyhuman?

Its no mistake. There are two humans walking inside the crowd of Variants.
What I see is a man wearing a dark colored suit, and a skinhead man with a large build. They are walking alongside.

Its not chaotic as expected
Ah. Looks like there is an excellent commander

The two of them were talking about something, and they head towards us.
When I thought about thatthey suddenly appeared in front of us.
Just like that, they walked towards us once again.

Hey, is that in calculation?
That is in the calculation error. Not a problem. There is no change of plan

Who are they?
What just happened? How did they get close?
The surrounding Variants dont have any interest at them for some reason. Then, that means

So thats the said one? We shouldnt kill him, right?
Ah, it is a trouble if he hatchesnow. However, it is troublesome to have him nearbyblow him away
Roger

The next moment, the air around them, distorts.
And the man wearing a dark gray suit, disappeared.

That was close!?

Just when he disappeared, a kick flew towards my nape.
I dodge it by a hairs breadth.

Hey, you dodged that one

The man said that while looking at my face calmly.
I have no time to hesitate. I received an attack. These guys are enemies.

Heat Ray

I fire the heat ray to his shoulder.
But the heat ray that should be going straight towards him, distorts and misses.

Dont do such dangerous things, Boy

I fire another heat ray, but it misses again. As I thought, I cant hit him.

When doing so, the man throws another kick. Hes fast. But I can dodge it.
I try to take distance from him by activating Ignition. My body felt a light impact, and I can feel acceleration. But and yetits strange. Somethings wrong.
I should have moved.
And yet, why the distance between us is still the same?
When I was bewildered, I was kicked on my stomach.

Kuha!?

By that kick, my body flies up to the air. And when my body became stiff due to the pain, the man points his palm towards me.

Youre tired after working so hard, right? Just have a rest

s.h.i.t. Hes going to attack. I need to dodge.
The moment I thought so.

Don.
My whole body received an impact. I was blown away violently, and my vision blurred. I felt a lot of my bones broke by that impact.
Upon feeling that much, I lost my consciousness.
