Chapter 77

Indeed I am still not good at flying . Once I circled, I will lose my direction . I can’t even fly in a straight line without wobbling around . Mia who can’t seem to take it, pulled my hand .

「Sorry . 」

「Ah . There is something called the right man in the right place . We can’t expect much from Kazu-chi who is bad at physical stuff . 」

No matter how she commented, I can’t rebate because my flying skills are that unreliable . It is so irritating until I am about to lose sight of my target and use my MP to summon the griffin . After all if I am on the back of the familiar then there will be no problem .

… . . there won’t be any problem right?

That was what I thought .

I shall not mention about that for now as we lowered our altitude slowly at around the speed of a car and glide about 1m above the grassland . The grass that grew tall moved like surging waves . It is during such times that we can enjoy the joys of flying .

The 2 Wind Elementals and the crow flew together with me .

Currently we are on the south side of the cliff, flying toward the north, so to the enemies, we are flying with the light behind us . It will be hard for our figures to be discovered . But to us, it is very easy to observe our enemies .

I used one of my hand to hold the binoculars to observe the city’s surroundings . The city wall that is destroyed is on the west side of the city .

The Giants have broken through the city walls until the other side, while crushing the soldiers along the walls with their hands . After the 6 Giants passed through, there isn’t any figures of the soldiers protecting the walls left .

Are they completely wiped out or did they run away? Well defending the city wall that is like that, is like asking for death, so they probably ran away .

The green skinned humanoids took the chance to approach the wall . Using rope ladders, they worked together to scale the wall . The green-skinned are helping each other, showing the spirit of cooperation .

These fellows are smarter than the orcs . This is not good .

Until we have been using strategies of fighting against those whose brains are not that good .

This time, it will probably be different from the past . No, if we acted like in the past, we will, no doubt, suffer a strong counter attack .

「It feels like the ending of beginner tutorial . 」

I don’t even wish to think that the intense battles that we had until yesterday were nothing but some tutorial for beginners, but our will to fight probably still exist .

Currently there is only the 2 of us . And our vanguards are weak . Since we don’t have our strong cards, Arisu and Tamaki, we have to be more careful with our actions .

If necessary, we may have to decide whether to abandon the battle . The worst situation is to ignore the city and escape . Of course we are still trying not to move towards such a direction……

「Kazu-chi, let’s take a detour . 」

Mia changed our route slightly to the right . That is a place where it can’t be seen from the area where the walls have collapsed . I am guessing Mia is intending on approaching the outer walls first .

At the first glance, there is no sign of any soldiers on the city walls . Are all of them out to engage the enemies that appeared on the interior? Such a rash and desperate battle . But to them, this is a battle to protect their home .

Even if we took care to fly carefully, there was enough time to fly there . We finally reached the city walls .

The walls created by stones seems quite easy to be destroyed . There are even moss on the walls . Are they properly maintained? Or they don’t even have the concept of maintaining? Or perhaps this have existed in the past and they are just continuing to use it .

After we approached, we discovered that there are moats dug around the city walls . The moats near the collapsed wall are probably filled up with rocks thrown by the Giants previously .

The monster army is probably moving according to a plan .

Then what exactly is happening on the other side of the wall…… Let’s use the crow and 《Remote Viewing》 to investigate the interior first .

There are completely nobody from our side of the city walls until the other end . There should be some reason for this distance battle . It seems like there is nobody assigned to this area .

Such a formation, what if the enemies feinted them . Or they believed that feints are impossible?

「Or perhaps they don’t even have the spare manpower . 」Mia mumbled in a small voice .

I see, that is also possible .

Actually just now when I used the crow to scout, the number of soldiers that I discovered was around that much too .

We are able to tell the number of soldiers, there are many people who we can’t differentiate from civilians or soldiers… . .

Or rather it should be said that the equipments of the soldiers are quite messy . It is to the extent that they numbered above 100 but below 200 .

Ah, even if we continue to think, nothing will happen . Mia recast the flying magic on me and herself . Then we fly up the city wall .

We surveyed the city on the city wall . From a high point, we looked at the area where the wall collapsed .

What is happening there, is a massacre .

The 6 Giants crushed the houses and sent both the soldiers and the roadblocks flying .

But the soldiers are not just waiting for death .

Dozens of arrows flew towards a Giant .

The Giant used his hand to protect his head and with a light swing of his arm, the arrows that flew over are knocked down .

The arrows are completely unable to penetrate the Giant’s skin . The archers on the buildings have witnessed the overwhelming difference in strength .

At this time, the green skinned soldiers shot arrows over . The human archers were shot dead .

「Those green-skin used the Giants as shields and defeated the surrounding enemies . Their cooperation is not bad……」

「Hobgoblin」

My reaction is 「huh?」 .

「Hobgoblin . They are the superior species of the goblins that commonly appears in games, in the same class as orcs . 」

「That is……Hobgoblins? Or rather the goblins haven’t even appeared yet!」

「Just a temporary name only . If we call them goblins, it feels unsuitable as goblins are usually portrayed as small-sized . 」

Indeed, that was very true!

After all it is just a name . If it is successful, we will know its name .

But the white room did not tell us the names of the Hellhounds and the Giant Wasps .

N…no? It is because we named it first, so that is why it didn’t tell us?

Regarding this assumption Mia mumbled「perhaps it is like this」in a small voice, then she raised her head and looked at me .

「But anything is fine for now . It is not important anyway . 」

「Ah, ah ah, yes . 」

「Even in Atorimu, it is about monsters . There are even more amazing monsters . 」(TL note: アトリーム= Atorimu, seems to be a game)

「I understand that you are trying to use the feeling of a game, but I am sorry as I don’t know it . 」

Mia was saddened .

Then she keep shaking her head .

Oi, hero volunteer, how do you live in a game?

「Nn . I have buckled up…… what should we do, Kazu-chi?」

I looked at the city which had become a battlefield again, and this time the west side caught my eye . One of the Giants have strayed away from the main battlefield while chasing the escaping human soldiers . This is a chance .

「There is one who strayed away . 」

「So we can help the others too, it can be considered a stone with 2 birds . 」

「It is better not to place your hopes on their thanks . Perhaps the humans may even attack us . 」

Mia was dumbfounded for a moment and then she clapped with her hands .

「Suspicious people who can use magic . They must be witches, that’s right . 」

「Even if they don’t think of it in that way, our dressing is also……」

Currently we are wearing gym clothes with a backpack . In Japan, we will look like normal students, but as for the people in this world…

I roughly looked at the people in this city, their clothes are made roughly from a piece of cloth . Their clothes is one that needs to tie a knot around the waist, and even the males also wear skirts . Currently the soldiers that are escaping are still waiting leather armour .

No matter how you look at our dressing, we looked weird . It can’t be helped if we are judged .

No, even before they judge, they would have escaped .

「Moreover I am bringing monster familiars . 」

Turning back, the Wind Elementals are half naked females made of wind .

Even to me, if someone without any knowledge were to see this, they will also treat it as a monster .

And me who is leading multiples of those, is even stranger .

Even so, I don’t wish to go and defeat the Giant without even using the Wind Elementals .

The protection by the familiars is a must .

After all this battle is just a warm up .

I wish to win with minimum expenditure in MP .

「Mmm, I agree with Kazu-chi in preserving the MP and wait until Summon Magic reaches Rank 7 and then summon a new familiar . 」

The strength of a summoned familiar is roughly 2 Rank lower than a student with Weapon Skill .

If it is the Centaur Knight summoned with Rank 7 Summon Magic, it is about as strong as Arisu when she has Rank 5 Spear Skill .

But Arisu is smarter so her battle methods may also be better .

Regarding the strength of the Giant, from how it looks, it should be possible for Arisu when she has Rank 5 Spear Skill…… that was what I felt .

Of course, the Giant has an overwhelming amount of strength, and his attack range is wider . So a contrasting battle plan is necessary .

But until now, all our battles have been like that . Be it the Elite orcs, the General, their figures are overwhelming stronger in strength . Arisu and Tamaki have always battled with the premise that their opponents are stronger in strength . Using ranged and melee attacks, they overcome the differences in physical . Just that with the Giant as an enemy, it is just like the difference is only bigger than usual . This caused the situation to be very troublesome . But the general flow will be like that . Then since the enemy is a simple idiot, they are more or less the same .

「First, let’s try this . 」

Mia casted flying magic on me and herself . Together with the 2 Wind Elementals, we invaded the city .

We flew in the shadows of the buildings and got closer to the strayed Giant who is heading south . The Giant that is chasing the escaping soldiers did not notice us . And it is too far from the main troops .

「Mia, use 《Stone Bind》 first . 」

Rank 4 Earth Magic《Stone Bind》 is a magic that is used on stones .

Luckily part of the streets in this city is made of stones . Now the Giant is passing through such an area .

Stones which are casted with 《Stone Bind》are very sticky . If they are casted on the stone pavements, then the soles of the Giant will be stuck to the ground .

If it is done well, we can just depend on Mia’s attack magic to finish of the Giant directly .

If it is not possible, then we will use the Wind Elementals to stop the Giant’s movements, then indeed we are still going to use Mia’s attack magic to kill the Giant .

No matter what, we are still relying on Mia’s attack magic……

Before I summoned out the Rank 7 familiar, there is no other methods .

Luckily there are magic to kill him when the Giant is trapped .

At the next turn, we found the figure of the Giant . The Giant with an ugly face is stepping on the discovered soldiers . Just like a tomato being squashed until it burst, darkish red fluid sprayed everywhere .

Although I am no longer shakened by such a scene… . . But I was angered, and clenched my fist tightly .

「……」

Mia bit her lips tightly . Just like me, Mia is also angry .

We landed behind the building around 15m away from the Giant . Then we peek out to look at the Giant . Until now, the enemies have yet to discover us .

The Giant smiled in satisfaction at the crushed soldiers . Just like a toddler .

Neoteny, should I said that?

The face is really ugly, that was what I thought .

「Let’s go . 」

「Ah, leave it to me . 」

The battle begins
