Chapter 170 Standalone Combat
It was truly a lightning strike from blue heaven.
The black wind suddenly appeared and tore through the entire green field. The way it came straight at us was incredible ── the swarm's speed was overwhelming.
"Beast!? No way, here?!"
"......About 35, 36 of them. All look like the same boar......"
"Huh, boars, Nanaiza? Well, with this good weather, you could call it perfect moving day."
"Are you kidding, Grumpy (Friese)? If we stay like this, we'll crash head-on and be done for!"
"Shannon's so naive. This isn't the sea; it's just the plain."
"You're so annoying, Grumpy!"
Ugh, this is quite the slack-talk. Looks like a crisis, but
Squad Sveiz isn't losing their composure at all.
That confidence shows they're real knights, not just rookies. Impressive. Ruthless raised a corner of his mouth, feeling he couldn't lose this.
"Hah. For a whole group to suddenly show up ── guess luck's on our side."
"You seem very relaxed despite so many, Ms. Shannon. Still a savage bunch, though."
"Heehee. Facing headwind with open arms──that's why you're my rival, Hiiro!"
As always, a chilled Shannon, but Friese also looked fired up and pumped up.
"Phew, even if this isn't what we expected, we can't ignore it. Everyone, listen up! Captain orders beast group extermination! Except for Nana, get ready for battle now!"
"......As for Nana?"
"You'll join after you isolates the carriage!"
"......Understood."
The cautious, hardworking, stomach-ache captain role. The clear command echoing through the blue sky shows how much captain has grown, totally different from earlier.
That might be why I was carried away. Driven by the high spirits, I leapt out of the carriage with energy.
"Haha, perfect! Well then, I'll take the first strike!"
"Ah, hey, Hiiro!?"
Though I was about to apologize for how he suddenly looked so serious, once he pressed that pedal, it was hard to let go.
The front of the enemy pack charged out in response, so my legs sped up even more, and then.
[Bmooooo!!!]
"Let's go!"
The snarling black boar's fangs collided with Ruthless, who swung his weapon. Human and beast, fang and iron mass.
The first clash between the vanguards headed toward.
"Take this!!"
[G,ohnnn!?!?]
Of course, I, the protagonist, handled it. The crimson sky rose with dying screams and black ashes. I felt a small pride as I threw the signals of war.
[Gooo!!!]
[Bmoooo!!]
But I didn't let my guard down. Though I hesitated a little after my front line was crushed, the boars charged even more fiercely toward me. The huge wave of beasts rushing was so overwhelming it felt like black earth itself was coming at us.
"Heeey!!"
"!"
An emerald lightning bolt passed right beside me, scattering the black ground. More precisely, Friese's flying kick blasted the beasts away with a *GAAAANG!*.
"Haha! I won't let Hiiro look cool all alone! I won't be silenced by being outdone! Let's gooo, yaaah!"
[Gmooo!?]
[Bmm,oo?!]
(Wow, Master, you really love to steal the spotlight, huh? And fighting so rough──kicking, hitting──that's just savage. No wonder inferior breeds like you get all puffed up, right Master?)
(That last hit was a perfect rider kick! I never expected to see that in this world. Friese, is that guy a genius?!)
(Heh... guess even she lacked enough brains for that...)
Despite having my moment stolen, I was practically standing and cheering. It's a rider kick──an essential move for anyone aiming to be a hero. To think someone outpaced me with it... It's frustrating but also kinda happy.
Well, my leg could've been bent a bit better, but if I weren't me, I'd have missed it.
"Whoa! Manly spirit!!"
[Bmmmoo!?]
"...And, by the way, what's that woman doing? What kind of crazy Fjikra is she pulling?"
*Hmm* Yeah, it's like tearing and throwing──such crazy strength, I can't even believe it.
