Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 165
Lightning is created to hit something in an instant.
Hot flames appear to burn flammable things.
Ice freezes everything they touch.
The ground splits to swallow anything that steps on it.
The strong gust of wind detached many things they passed through.
Sword, dagger, saber, and the like swung to cut.
The shield stands still firmly to block attacks.
Different types of shouts appeared one by one constantly.
Blood was shed and life perished.
All of those are the things that emerge in war.
Now, in Tatio, living beings who can be called people, fight against the Embodiment of Destruction that is the Scourge. This battle occurred due to the clash of purposes of both sides.
The people want to live and eradicate the Embodiment of Destruction.
The Scourge was resolved to swallow and bring all life into nothingness.
If negotiations could be made with the Scourge, people wanted to avoid this conflict. However, the Scourge had no thoughts, they simply followed their instinct to swallow everything into nothingness and nothing more.
So, a conflict, a war happened.
They will kill each other to realize their respective purposes. None of them want to lose and die.
“Knight-Captain Celestena, the defense on the left wing is falling apart, they are asking for help!” A male knight reported.
Celestena nodded then observed the battle that was going on below. From the top of the city wall, she could see the entire battlefield clearly. This helps her to make decisions quickly.
“Send Tatio’s second knights battalion to help them,” she uttered an order.
The knight who had just made a report nodded. A moment later he closed his eyes to use the Telepathic Spell to inform the leader of the left-wing army and Tatio’s second knight battalion Celestena’s order.
The Knight Captain looked back at the battlefield. A moment later, she asked, “Has the Magician Company recovered?”
“Yes, they are,” replied the female knight in charge of the communication of the company Celestena mentioned.
“Then tell them to give support to the left-wing army until Tatio’s second knight battalion arrives. After that, tell them to attack the Scourge’s main force.”
The female knight nodded then used the Telepathic Spell.
“Send my knight battalion to advance while Tatio’s fifth knight battalion and militia retreat. We will surround the Scourge and prevent them from scattering.”
The knights in charge of the army Celestena mentioned used the Telepathic Spell immediately. They have to send her message as soon as possible for the strategy to work properly.
Celestena repeatedly led an army of knights in small or large-scale battles. That’s why she’s had good experiences at making judgments.
After Celestena took over the leadership of the armies here, the army’s formation which at the start was fragile became sturdy. And not only that, but the decisions she voiced also made their side start to get advantages.
In a few moments, this army was able to suppress the Scourge, make them less dangerous and minimize the damage they cause.
Celestena could see, they could win this battle in the near future especially as Vier and Gravius Party raged on the front lines. And yes, even though she knew they were going to win, not once did she reduce her focus or vigilance.
Leaving Celestena and looking at the front line, one could see how the Gravius Party was raging. With their strength, hardly any Scourge could stop them.
Gravius was a high-level assassin. In his Familia, he ranked the second strongest person in battle after Vier. With abilities that couldn’t be underestimated, he could kill the Scourge easily.
That Chibito was moving at a speed that ordinary people’s eyes couldn’t follow. With his small body, he can sneak up and dodge attacks without having to sweat. Since he joined this fight, he had only gained seven cuts because of his speed and capabilities to dodge.
Yes, Gravius didn’t just have his speed. His abilities to fight could also be said to be terrifying.
His ability to use daggers was praiseworthy. Every time he launched an attack, the daggers he used and his hand movements couldn’t be seen. And not only that, but he was also an expert at making poisons. Making him more deadly.
Thus, with his ability, Gravius who fought on the front lines could kill dozens of Scourge in an instant. Every Scourge he encountered as he ran would become small pieces after he passed them.
In addition to Gravius, there are Ronalda, Holgeir, Beleg, and Gilraen.
Ronalda is a swordswoman. Just like Elizaveta, this Human woman used the Greatsword. However, different from Elizaveta who is focused on strength, this red-haired woman focused on speed and technique. Therefore, she had quick attacks that covered an area of attacks as far as six meters away from the place she stand.
So, every Scourge that entered this beautiful woman’s attacks range would be slashed into small pieces. Currently, she had managed to kill over thirty Scourge.
A large hammer was swung by Holgeir the Hammerman. This big bald man has thick muscles. He was a Valley Dwarf, one of the three Dwarf races that got a blessing in battle instead of a blessing to make weapons, etc. Yes, this two-meter tall man had a bushy mustache and beard.
With his great strength and large hammer, Holgeir had already killed more Scourge than Ronalda. And for the record, they are rivals who are always competing to find who is the best on the battlefield.
Contrary to the two front fighters, Beleg and Gilraen is quite harmonious and have good teamwork. In a fight and as a Shield Master, Beleg gets many roles to protect Gilraen who is an Ice Elementalist.
Now, on this battlefield, Beleg uses his Giant Shield, Arte, and Spell to provide protection and ensure that everyone behind him is safe. This golden-haired young man with red eyes wouldn’t let the Scourge’s attacks pierce through his defenses. And not only did he withstand the attacks, but he also used his Giant Shield to kill the Scourge even though it wasn’t much.
As Gilraen lifted her Wand, dozens of ice spears created from nothing, appear and floated in the air. This sexy silver-haired woman has good accuracy and judgment. Because of that, the spells she used always hit her enemies accurately and had little chance of missing. Being behind Beleg, Gilraen managed to freeze and kill hundreds of Scourge, more than everyone else on this battlefield.
With their strength and talents, the Gravius Party that helped one battalion of knights was able to clear the area which had become their responsibility from the Scourge in less than twenty-three minutes.
“We’re done here, let’s move somewhere else,” Ronalda said with a little hint of vitality.
Beleg nodded. As a Shield Master, he approved of her decision. Especially when he wants to protect as many people as possible. “Then let’s move as fast as we can. Gilraen, please follow me,” he said before running towards the nearest battalion of knights.
“Jeez! This young man!” Gilraen said full of annoyance as she moved her legs as best she could to chase Beleg. As always, the Shield Master was too fast for her.
Holgeir shook his head, then asked Ronalda. “Where’s Gravius?”
Ronalda sighed then pointed at someplace to answer Holgeir’s question. There, at the place pointed by Ronalda, Gravius who was on a rampage, committing a massacre.
“Damn it! We have been left out!” Holgeir shouted then ran with all of his strength to get close to the Scourge. A moment later, Ronalda chased after him.
The Gravius Party ran into their second fight. As for the Vier Party, they were in the middle of a battlefield to confront the three strongest Scourge.
A deformed dragon’s head, a spider monster with human legs, and a figure of a human without legs but having three pairs of arms, become Scourge that they must defeat.
“As always, they are so disgusting!” Anna commented then said, “[Grand Cross]”
A huge golden cross made of light appeared above the Dragon Head Scourge.
Anna wanted to destroy that Scourge first. After fighting against it for some time, she knew that the Scourge didn’t move much and had little way to defend itself.
Dragon Head Scourge is a tank type. It has high HP and defense. This type of Scourge has attacks that can reduce the power of its opponent. If the monsters are left for too long, Vier and the others will get into trouble.
Swuss and Blast!
The huge golden cross fell to hit the Dragon Head Scourge and create an explosion. That spell was usually more than enough to kill a Rock Giant but now, that Spell could only do a little damage to that Scourge.
“I hate this kind of Scourge!” Anna said who then prepared the next Spell.
Elizaveta and Lubov who help Anna, get close to the Dragon Head Scourge after Anna’s Grand Cross effect disappears.
Elizaveta shouted, “[Giant Killer Cut]” then swung her Greatsword which was enveloped by a deep red light into the Dragon Head Scourge’s eyes.
The Amazones intend to blind the monster but she forgets that Scourge sees without using eyes, they see by feeling the life force directly.
But, even though she forgot about it, she still gave Scourge great damage. Her attack was not a wasted effort.
On the other hand, Lubov, who is clutching two swords, cut the Scourge with a dozen slashes that she launched at a quick pace. Pieces of Scourge meat floated in the air after she was done with her attacks.
The Dragon Head Scourge didn’t just stand still after being attacked, it gathered its power then spouted hot flames from its big mouth.
Seeing the attack coming, Elizaveta shouted, “the hell!” Before running away as fast as possible to dodge. In the last seconds, she managed to avoid the hot flames that burn everything in a radius of six square meters.
“Are you okay!?” Lubov asked Elizaveta in a shout. The wolf girl stands at the top of the head of Dragon Head Scourge. So, she was safe from the hot flames.
“I’m fine!” The Amazones replied. Then she whispered.. “This fight won’t be easy.”
