290 Collaboration Seems Important
"Well, congratulations to the four brave men who aligned their necks."
Lianya said as she looked around at the faces of the brave men lined up in a side-by-side row at the training ground.
To the word geese neck, Leppard smiled, Grune smiled bitterly, and Kurtz kept smiling.
Only Emil, who joined that line at the end, raised his voice of protest.
"Isn't the geese neck terrible?
"Don't worry about the lack of dragon warriors"
When Emil's protest went through and Lianya uttered such sentiments, the faces of everyone except Kurtz showed slightly cloudy.
After all, the lack of one regular member to participate in the Demon King's Crusade seems to be a source of concern even from them, and Emil is a reason for Alberto's fall, so the reaction is not natural.
It is not clear to Lianya whether Kurtz's expression does not move because he does not understand the situation or is unwilling to understand the situation.
Maybe he has already forgotten about Alberto, who took a protest against Lianya's actions, Lianya secretly thought.
"I have no choice but to screw around. It would be a realistic idea to do something with as much force as you have at hand."
Only one, Lianya, did not see the fact as much of a problem.
The tougher the battle is, the more problematic it is for Lianya that there are those who are not motivated by it, and it is his idea that he can be refreshed instead, because if he is not there, he will not have to put it into his thoughts from the beginning.
"One way or another, I'm more worried about having to fight the Demon King with this uncooperative member."
No matter how good the individual abilities were, the uncoupled organization is brittle.
If you are someone you can overwhelm with your individual abilities, it is not a story that will be seen as problematic.
But there is no good thing about each other getting in the way or getting each other destroyed, such as if it is an individual comparable opponent or if you have to fight an opponent that overtakes it.
"And that's why we need to work together."
"Oh, I just have a bad feeling"
Kurtz still didn't break his expression with a smile on his face, and Leppard looked surprised without knowing what Lianya was up to.
Emil gave up sighing in the way he understood what Lianya had snorted, even if he didn't have to say anything, and only Grune put the unpleasant signs he felt into his mouth as words.
"What's a bad feeling?
"What does Leppard think is the way we brave men work together under these circumstances?
Leppard, who was returned with a question, still thinks about Grune's words without the appearance of being distracted, as Lianya watches, wondering if it is Grune's idea not to return the answer immediately.
"That's because it's a battle collaboration, after all? It's the quickest way to fight."
"I agree with that opinion, but then who do we brave people fight against?
"Well, you don't need to work together unless you're comparable to us brave men or someone who outshines them..."
If you win individually, it's enough to wipe it out appropriately, so Leppard blued his face when he reached the point where he thought about who that strong opponent would be, even thinking that the opponent would have to be that strong.
In response to that change in complexion, Grune finally decides that Leppard understands the situation in which they are placed.
"Of course, I'll deal with him."
Lotus Yashi, who saw the story come together, quickly bit Leppard to declare so.
"Hey, Count! Are you willing to make a brave man a dead man before you do the Demon King fight!?
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not going to die, I'm just a nobleman in a part of a country, okay? It's small compared to the Demon King. It's small."
"Ah ho ho! Who would believe such bullshit!? If I were you, I would be able to knock you down like a demon king laughing!?
"Don't be impotent, okay? You're human, aren't you? Finite, small, humble, fragile people, huh?
"If you are such a person, what are we!? Ali? Bowfla!?
"You're a loud guy, here. Stand up. We're going this way, okay?
Lianya waves up as she watches Leppard continue to protest with her troublesome eyes.
Leppard, who accidentally got himself into it, noticed that he wasn't given that knife on Lianya's hips.
"You're not gonna do this without a hand?
"Don't worry, I'll pull you out according to the situation."
"Don't worry, I didn't do it!
In front of Leppard, who screamed close to screaming, Lianya waves down without so much speed.
"Then all of a sudden, downburst"
A vast amount of magic bursts from Lianya's body, and the tall sound of the world screaming.
In the sky far from the earth, cold air, which greatly deviated from the range in which the creatures there could live, began to reach for the surface in a white-like column while freezing moisture in the atmosphere, caught in a vortex that dragged everything down to the surface.
Emil, who had heard the identity of the procedure from the Scion and other stories, opened his mouth gently to that of the real thing he had first seen, and the complexion of Leppard and Grune, who guessed that it would be dangerous, no matter what he thought, even if he did not know who the procedure was.
"Hey Lenya!? Have you forgotten that even here in the city!?
"Of course, I won't forget."
In a tone that gives you a peek of confidence, if Lianya, who said so, sees the walls of the training ground, a wall of wind emerges that winds up into the sky as she surrounds herself as soon as possible and makes a loud noise.
On the wall of rising airflow, which softly covers the training ground, which is quite a huge space, a flashing leppard.
Kurtz still knew it or not, he kept smiling, not knowing it just from seeing it, and Grune looked around with a look somewhere like he'd given up and raised the voice that one Emil was impressed with.
"I see, with the downward and upward airflow, we're creating a vertical swirl of air to prevent the damage from spreading."
"What if I'm impressed!?
"As far as I've heard about Lenya before when she used it, isn't that a sign that she's extraordinarily good at using her powers? Don't you think this is a pleasure?
"When was the target?"
Leppard shouts to Emil, who is admiring him with ease, with the impetus he is likely to grasp.
While doing so, the columns of cold air are coming down from the sky to the ground with considerable momentum.
"Damn, how am I supposed to defend that?"
"It's pulling cold air down from the sky. The vortex itself is magic, but the cold air body is just the atmosphere, so hey. Maybe it can't be prevented by a magical defense."
"Me or Leppard, you can't even get your hands on this,"
As for the technique of handling witchcraft, Leppard is a tease, and although Grune, who is an elf, can use it quite well, he has no idea of witchcraft capable of defending a massive amount of witchcraft that would force him to pull down a chunk of cold air from the sky.
"Fuck you, man, right?
Leppard, who has little witchcraft, says that confidently why.
Against Grune, who frowned without knowing what it meant, Leppard pointed to Lianya in the midst of exercising witchcraft.
"This kind of thing, if you punch the operator, it stops."
"I see, that's for sure"
Behind Grune and Leppard, Emil shakes his head all the time, for Christ's sake.
"That might stop the vortex, but it won't disappear until the cold air I pulled halfway through."
"Isn't that Emil's job over there?
Looking up at Emil next door, when Kurtz said that, Emil pounded his head.
"I see, there might be a way to look at that"
"I'll keep you safe when you can't."
Behind the Kurtz you undertake, Black Moya begins to rise.
The Moya rushed up to the sky just trying to stop it from the ground against the columns of cold air that were now about to pour down to the training ground.
"I'll take care of it over there."
"Let's do something about the Count."
Leppard to Grune, who stood back a long time and tried to advance to Lianya.
Looking at the actions of those two, Lianya said this in a frightened tone.
"No, you're acting too slow, aren't you?
If you look from Lianya, the actions of the four brave men were a good place to fall.
Once already, given its power and magnitude, it immediately consolidates its perimeter, often defensively dedicated, against witchcraft with a cracked palm, or it must focus on driving Lotus Ya himself, who controls witchcraft, incapacitated or, if it fails to do so, on inflicting damage that would fail to control witchcraft.
The amount of time that I lost by watching activated magic and making a fuss was too lethal from Lianya's perspective.
"Oh, maybe not."
Following Lianya's words, the words Kurtz uttered froze the spines of all the brave men.
Black Moya, rising from the ground, reached out to prevent columns of cold air pouring out of the sky, but not too close to the ground, Kurtz was attempting to intercept Moya as high as possible, even if the scattered cold air might do damage even if it prevented direct cold-air strikes, but the cold-air body continued to kick Moya and descend even further at the moment of collision with the columns of cold air.
"Two avant-gardes! Get back here now! Kurtz, you pull Moya back and focus on defense!
As it stood, the two men who were about to be attacked by Lianya would get a decent shower of cold air from behind, Kurtz, who failed to intercept, and Emil, who saw herself next to her would get a direct blow of cold air from directly above, raised her voice and flew instructions to everyone.
Leppard and Grune flying to Kurtz in a hurry.
After seeing it, Kurtz formed a defensive curtain by Black Moya over their heads.
At the same time, Emil unleashes several test tubes removed from his nostrils and his own magic overhead.
"Everybody, breathe small, as little as you can! If you do poorly, you freeze from the inside and you have life support problems..."
The good Emil's words were erased by cold-air columns and fierce winds that clashed into the defense created by Emil and Kurtz at a time as if they were waiting for it to be done.
The flow of atmosphere dragging cold air out of the sky becomes a physical pressure, blowing the training ground, and the intense cold air mixed with it freezes moisture in the atmosphere, turning one side into a world of silver rather than the ground.
"I knew this was amazing"
While creating wind and magic walls around him and defending him from the aftermath of his magic, Lianya looks around the training ground, which has changed in an instant.
The ground freezes bright white and the walls are in similar conditions, but thanks to the upward airflow built to surround the training ground, the damage has not even reached the downtown area.
Seeing that he was able to limit his influence only to the inside of the training ground properly, Lianya nods satisfactorily.
"I'm getting good at this."
"Are you going to kill me?"
It was Leppard who put a word of strength into Lianya, who was concerned, to improve his skills.
It seems that the columns of cold air at the hands of Lianya, on the verge of landing in the training ground, were like cocoons by a black moya created by Kurtz, and some kind of drug thrown by Emil and the technique of defense by Emil's own magic, caused the four brave men to brush off with almost direct hit but without lethal damage, a downburst that Lianya had previously almost destroyed one of the woods.
"You're not dead, are you?
The words Lianya returned to Leppard, who tried to break the black cocoon by hand and stuffed it with white exhalation, were short and cold.
To its coolness, Leppard reacted as if his expression had fallen out once, but immediately rekindled his anger and stuffed him further into Lianya.
"Though you almost died!?
"He's not dead, so it means he wasn't willing to kill me. If I were willing to kill you, you'd be dead by now. You're training for collaboration in the first place, so there's no way you're willing to kill me, is there?
"I'm scared! I'm afraid of you!
"The air has cooled off quite well, so let's go to the hot one next"
"Hey!? Wait, wait, wait!
It was Leppard who managed to stop Lotus Ya, but there is no way Lotus Ya would stop with words.
Countless flaming bullets appeared behind Lianya in the air that chilled out because the ground and walls were frozen.
In the light of the red flame back, his face turned blue and Leppard escaped from the sight of Lianya.
"Starting serial fire"
"Holy shit! Remember later. Yikes!
Leaving something like a throwaway dialogue behind, Lotus Ya flies after Leppard, who escaped with all his might without even looking back, by pointing his finger at him. The magic of < Light Fire Bullet > lands all over the place and starts spreading heat and flames.
Temperatures in the training field that also turn away from the freezing cold and rise slightly.
Grune and Emil looked at Leppard as he shielded himself from the black Moya that Kurtz was creating, with the common question of whether they could live until they fought the Demon King.
