Chapter 374: Let's Hit Them with Light

Charge! Chaaaaaarge!

In accordance with Corps Commander Luger's desperate yell, the approximately 1000 soldiers of Lindo Kingdom's army started charging toward the swarm of Odo Eater Leeches in succession.

Although the soldiers had confused expressions as if they had been bewitched, in what could only be thought of as a miracle, compared to just a moment before, the current situation had changed to an advantageous one for them.

Thanks to Kazane's Mega Beam, Devil King's Intimidation, and Jinrai's Thunder God Cannon, the Odo Eater Leech swarm had lost all order, and their movements had been greatly dulled. And since Kazane was taking on the Giant Mana Eater Leech that was the Boss of the monsters, they couldn't regain their posture, making their movements uncoordinated.

Monsters that continued to be bewildered like that should have been ideal prey for soldiers, who trained every day. However, they were by no means fighting with easygoing feelings. Due to the shock of the Thunder God Cannon a moment ago and the abnormal intimidation they were now being struck by, which the advancing monsters had been receiving since some time ago, it wasn't a situation where they could be at ease at all.

And the most conspicuous people in the battle against those monsters was the rank S adventurer man and his monstrous party at the forefront. The man wielding two spears, the skeleton warrior, the huge Living Armor, and the huge skeleton aggregation continuously hunted the Odo Eater Leeches. In the rearguard, there were more Living Armor-like beings throwing stones while one heroically continued hand-delivering them stones to throw.

The soldiers didn't even think about approaching that group that continued to mow down enemies. That overwhelming destructive power a short while ago. And ahead of the readily apparent individual fighting power the individuals in that group possessed, the soldiers trembled with fear at the thought of being caught up and fought separated from them.

But on the whole, the subjugation was proceeding smoothly. Under the command of Corps Commander Luger, Lindo Kingdom's army continued advancing and exterminating the horde of monsters with all their might.

Further beyond where Jinrai and the others were continuing to hunt the Odo Eater Leeches, in the skies above the center of the Odo Eater Leech swarm that continued suffering from powerful intimidation, one dragon continuously blew Breath on the monsters.

NyaAAAAAA!!!

That Breath was from Yuuko-nee, who had become a dragon. The true character of that Breath was a brilliant high-temperature gas. That Breath (which one would absolutely not want to be hit by) from an extremely rare Sun attribute dragon burned the Odo Eater Leeches around Kazane's group to nothing.

Thanks to her evolution using the Magic Life Stone, Yuuko-nee became able to use Kazane's Skills. However, that didn't mean they were simply copied; the abilities manifested in accordance with Yuuko-nee's traits. That was the reason for this golden crystal Dragonization.

BUBEBaAAA!

On the other side, the huge black leech screamed in a way that was hard to call a voice as it made its subordinate Odo Eater Leeches continually kamikaze attack Kazane's group.

GUooOOOOOOO!!

However, the Berserk Ogre and 23 Dark Ogres were in front of Kazane. Ahead of that black muscular wall, there was no way the Odo Eater Leeches' attacks would have any effect; the Odo Eater Leeches' characteristic ability was Odo Absorption, which was meaningless against the Ogre's resistance. As might be expected, if they could completely swallow an Ogre, it would be a different story, but there was no way those incarnations of violence would meekly allow that to happen, and they continued literally kicking around the Odo Eater Leeches.

Nyaa

Then Yuuko-nee, whose Magic Power had been exhausted from continually blowing Breath, returned to her cat appearance as she descended in front of Kazane. The cost performance of Dragonization itself wasn't bad, but the Magic Power consumption of Breath was high. It seemed continuously blowing Breath was difficult with Yuuko-nee's Magic Power.

Thanks for your hard work, Yuuko-nee.

Nyaa

Yuuko-nee looked a little tired due to running low on Magic Power, but when Kazane called out to her, she threw out her chest to say she could still go on. Then, breathing roughly while thinking she couldn't lose to the Berserk Ogre, she stepped forward. Yuuko-nee's spirit made Kazane smile as she observed the situation.

(Now then, it looks like their vigor won't completely run out unless we defeat that black one.)

Kazane squinted and glared at the monster wall in front of her. The blackGiant Mana Eater Leechthat appeared earlier was hiding behind that wall of leeches. Since some time ago, they had been trying to break through, but they couldn't advance easily.

And Kazane was currently continuing to emitDevil King's Intimidationat full power. As a matter of fact, even some of the Lindo Kingdom soldiers who were fighting some distance away had collapsed, but Kazane's group staying alive in the center of the monster swarm as she continued to releaseDevil King's Intimidationwas the only reason the soldiers were able to hunt the monsters so comfortably, as that was preventing the blackGiant Mana Eater Leechfrom effectively leading its subordinates.

If she weren't using that, Kazane's group would have been crushed by the enemy's numbers, and the Lindo Kingdom Army's situation would have been far worse than it currently was.

Alright. As expected, we have no choice but to destroy them in one go? Yuuko-nee, after this, we're going to go to the Berserk Ogre and cooperate together to crush them.

Nya, nyaa!

After Kazane told her to cooperate with the Berserk Ogre, Yuuko-nee raised her voice as a small protest. It seemed like she wanted to say that just the two of them working together would be able to do it, but while petting Yuuko-nee's head, Kazane admonished her.

We're all companions. Let's do it together!

Currently, it was difficult for the Berserk Ogre to break through the wall of Odo Eater Leeches alone. On the other hand, Kazane observed that it would be difficult with just Yuuko-nee and her. She concluded that it would take the three of them cooperating together to break through.

Uu... nyaa

And Yuuko-nee had no choice but to obey Kazane's words. She didn't want to cause trouble for her master. She didn't want to ruin things with her selfishness either.

Then, resolving herself, Yuuko-nee ran with Kazane toward the Berserk Ogre, who was fighting together with them on the front lines. To break through the wall of Odo Eater Leeches and defeat the Giant Mana Eater Leech. To show she could fight alongside Kazane with her strength.

Then, while Kazane, Jinrai, and the rest were rampaging on the battlefield outside the city, Fuune and Naoki were flying around the city with Fly magic.

Fuune, this way next!

Yeah, understood. I'll do my best for Naoki!

As Naoki gave instructions while looking at the map, Fuune obeyed while castingLight from Heavenon the Hirukos lined up on the road.

Yumika had followed them from the slums to the pleasure quarter on Hippomaru-kun, and she was making a sour expression as she watched them. The voiceGross, gross, seriously grosswas leaking out of her mouth. Beside her, Tiara tilted her head and asked Yumika.

Is that Kazane?

No, but she's an imitation. That idiot said it took him 38 hours in the character creator.

Next to Yumika and Tiara talking about that, Emily and Lyle were on a crystal horse and talking with each other.

If I'm not mistaken, Naoki called her Fuune-tan, but does she resemble Kazane because she's an ancestor of Naoki's family or something?

While suppressing a hazy feeling, Emily asked that to Lyle, who tilted his head and answered.

I don't know. Well, the fact that their faces are similar means they're probably blood-related, though. Maybe that's Naoki's grandmother or an older ancestor? But, how should I say it... she's a cringy woman.

Lyle thought the way Fuune acted toward Naoki was terribly intense as he watched. Girls that acted too cutesy weren't Lyle's type.

And, as came out in the conversation between Emily and Lyle, their perception was the same as the general view, which was that human summoned beings were fundamentally the spirits of heroes or ancestral spirits. And judging from the fact that the summoned being Fuune-tanlooked just like Naoki's older sister Kazane, they inevitably concluded that she was an ancestral spirit.

(However, Naoki is fawning on her too much. Perhaps he's a grandma's boy?)

As ever, it seemed Emily's brain was filtering the truth.

However, though they were all talking together like that, they still had the job of giving instructions to save the people who had been healed.

They were calling out to the scattered adventurers dealing with the Hirukos and asking them to rescue the people who had collapsed after returning from being Hirukos. In the slums, the militia force was already playing a leading role in the rescue work.

However, Louise wasn't participating in the work with them; she was continuously observing Fuune'sLight from Heavenso she wouldn't miss a single thing.

(As expected, there are differences in effect. Is it a problem of erosion rate, time, or resistance?... Maybe compatibility is the most important thing.)

As expected, even Heroic Spirit Fuune'sLight from Heavendidn't have a healing rate of 100%. But still, it certainly brought about peace of mind. As if seeking salvation, the Hirukos were running towards Fuune. And even the Hirukos that didn't recover started immediately disintegrating and vanishing.

Louise thought it was a much better ending than existing as something like an evil spirit of negative thoughts.

Damn, the time limit is approaching. Fuune, once you've healed that area, fly all the way to the center.

Ok, I'll do so!

Fuune replied to Naoki in a shrill voice and drank the fifth mana potion. The remaining time limit was 3 minutes. How many could be saved in the remaining time? That was the question.
