Chapter 75

“U… haa… haa…”

Immediately after using his ability, he was overwhelmed by a sudden heaviness in his body.

(This is really tiring…)

“Geez, what are you doing, Giba? Shion, you’re in a really bad mood, so just kill him quickly!”

A woman who had been watching our battle raised her voice.

“I’m not in a bad mood. But I do wonder why it’s taking so long.”

A woman in a robe also spoke.

“Tch, I’ll kill you right now, so just wait! — I played around a bit too much. Next time, I’ll definitely kill you.”

A strong pressure was released from the man.

(What?! It’s scary… But compared to the pressure from the Black Dragon…!)

If I hadn’t experienced the pressure from the Black Dragon, I might have lost my will to fight by now.

“Sophie, use all the attack magic you have! Even if it hits me, it’s fine!”

I constructed five spell formations simultaneously.

(Huh? Why?! — No, I don’t care about that!)

“—!”

I activated three [Lightning Arrows] and two [Earth Spikes] simultaneously.

Log was also attacking with a spear made from [Earth Clump], focusing on thrusts as before.

But not only that, he was also using basic magic like [Lightning Strike].

…Just like Orun.

But even with that, it wasn’t affecting the large man at all.

◇

(Stop it!)

“Tch, again?!”

This was the nth time we had gone through this cycle.

The fatigue was building up, but I ignored it and used my ability to stop the large man’s movements, forcibly resetting the battle situation.

While using my ability to interfere with the large man’s attacks, I and Log managed to fight somehow.

But I knew we were running out of steam.

Even if we managed to defeat this large man, there were still three others left, and I didn’t know how long I could continue using my ability.

—And finally, I reached my limit.

“…U…”

“Gwaah…”

Log was thrown back a great distance.

I couldn’t completely stop the large man’s movements with my ability, and finally, Log took damage.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be a serious injury, but the next time…

“Finally. Well, for kids, you’ve been pretty persistent. I’ll kill you now and put you out of your misery.”

Without the strength to move, I knelt on the ground, unable to do anything as the large man walked towards me.

Scary…

I don’t want to…

I don’t want to die…

Big sister…

Orun…

“Stop it!”

Ignoring Log’s scream, the large man raised his sword.

Right after that, a loud explosion-like sound echoed from behind.

“…Huh?”

The moment the large man’s attention was drawn in that direction, a gust of wind blew past me.

“—Droy”

“Gwoh?!”

And just as I heard the large man’s surprised voice, it quickly faded away, followed by another loud sound.

“Sorry for being late.”

In the midst of my confusion, I heard the voice I most wanted to hear right now.

Looking up, I saw Orun’s back.

“Orun…”

Orun had come.

The relief made the tears I had been holding back flow.

“Yeah, I’m here. You did a great job. Good job. It’s okay now. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the rest.”
