Chapter 48 ~ 50 – Unknown and the Trump Card of Darkness Part 1
Raiding abruptly appeared, to what Minato called as『Plant Monster』.
Its na was『Tropical Tyrant』, its strength was of AA Rank, the people who knew that it was the outstanding plant-type demon were not present in the current place.
That demon, after eating all the demons that had lost sanity due to drug, tried to attack the adventurers who were at the war frontlines.
It was inevitable, but against an opponent with true strength of AA Rank......Adventurers of D and C Rank were nothing more than garbage.
The people fighting were, including the covering work were......just Sherry and Zari.
Sherry was attacking by shooting arrows of fire, and while not letting the root and ivy co near, she would search for opportunities, and slash at its body with a fire-clad sword.
The attacks let out by the large body each had widely strong attack range, but for her it wasn’t sothing she couldn’t evade.
However, for defeating, for piercing through that large body, neither the weapons, arrows and nor the firepower of fire were enough.
Hence, an impression of offensive and defensive was made, for stopping its advance.
And behind her was Zari, who was supporting her with his Sand Magic, and Elk, who was helping in the evacuation of injured people. And also the support by so adventurers who were still fine enough to fight.
And even more,
「......! It ca from right, huh......birdie, please do!」
Receiving such a voice,
Alva, who had been firing off appropriate magic attacks while flying in sky, flew off in the direction Sherry gave the command for.
And before its eyes, light of red magical energy started converging......and the next mont, it was fired off as a strong destructive beam that had enough power to easily crumble a stone precipice.
It flew to roots coming from the right, that Sherry saw, and hitting directly it exploded, scattered, got grilled and beco powerless.
「......Seriously, that birdie is truly aweso. Is it because it is the pet of Minato-kun?」
「Half is because of that. But the other half is because, Minato had taught it his own original magic sotis just for fun. That beam is one of those seriously strong original magic」
In the break tis of morning practices, Elk had seen Minato teaching Alva magic that he had thought in past but wasn’t able to use them. Alva could understand the human speech, so it amused itself by copying the magic it watched.
Alva gained mastery in all of them, as a result, his battle strength increased drastically.
Before anyone knew it, there was the birth of a Demon Bird which could various magic no one had seen ever before.
That magical energy convergence bombardnt was also one of them. It was Minato’s original magic that created a destructive light beam with explosive power just by converging the magical energy particles, and the interaction or whatever between them created it like that.
Its offensive power, in this place, ca second to Sherry-san’s arrows. Making those as weapons, while maintaining the distance from『Tropical Tyrant』, Alva was fighting at the battlefront.
Then, maybe it got bored by the storm of attacks coming from all the direction –although it wasn’t known if plants had that sort of emotions- this ti, nurous roots and ivy, a number which couldn’t be extended with just finger, sprout out from the whole body of Tropical Tyrant and attacked.
Seeing this, even the face of Sherry and others stiffened. However, they couldn’t retreat......and neither did they think about that.
Including the backup unit, they tried to use all the firepower at disposal and intercept that attack......at that mont,
Alva ca, flying to Sherry’s side, and again in front of its eyes the red magical energy started converging, hence the charging of energy started.
......6 at the sa ti.
「「「......!?」」」
Even Elk had never seen that, unexpected scene, seeing that Sherry and other’s bodies stiffened.
The next mont, converged light changed into 6 destructive beams, and with power not any less than before, all were fired off......It blasted away most of the roots and ivy that were coming at them.
Sherry and others returned to themselves from the explosion sounds and shock waves. They intercepted the rest of the roots and ivy that got past the explosion, and cut down each and every of it.
At the ti they finished, Sherry, who still was shocked, asked out.
「H-hey what!? Elk-chan!? That birdie could even do that much!? 6 at the sa ti......I’ve never heard anything like that!?」
「I also didn’t know! It only shot out one at a ti......I never knew that it could be this amazing if it went serious......I knew it was a demon with high magical energy, but this is just......」
「Is that so? No, but that is......Hm?『6』?」
At that mont, Sherry was hooked up in the『6』numbers of attack that Alva just fired off.
Thinking for a bit, she rose up her head seeming to got an idea,
「Hey, Elk-chan......is that birdie,『Nevalides』?」
「! You know about it?」
「Are you serious!? S-So t-that’s how it was......he surely has got sothing trendous as his pet......」
Sherry was surprised, having her guess hit the right mark, and sent a fleeting glance at Alva flying right beside her.
「Well, in my ho place, there are various legends there. Among that it cos out......the Nevalides I an, apparently they have 6 brains」
「Co again!?」
「Don’t cow have 4 stomachs, and bugs have『compound eyes』, right? It’s sothing like that. It is said that there are 6 brains of Nevalides, with each single brain having high intelligence matching to that of humans. And they are able to use them properly. While one brain is awake, the other brains sleep in a rotation, hence they need no sleep. And if using each of them when using magic, they are able to let out magic with power far surpassing normal power. It’s natural, after all the concentration and thinking circuits just got six-fold」
「......Now I don’t even know how to be shocked」
For the ti being, Elk and others understood the reason why he was able to shoot 6 destructive beams without any decrease in the power.
Along with the fact that there 6 brains rotating at full speed inside that bird’s head.
However not thinking any deeper, they just considered Alva as a reliable ally, and again faced the enemy.
Then, abruptly,
「......If I had to say reliable, the owner of this birdie is also the sa」
「Yeah......that’s indeed, correct」
「Don’t talk currently. Concentrate, co on concentrate」
Sherry and Zari were scolded with words as if being slapped.
However, even Elk, who scolded them, had looked along with others in the oblique direction, however......in the next second their eyes returned back to the front.
The fight occurring there was reflected in all their eyes, for just a second.
The fight against Tropical Tyrant, an AA Rank demon, was indeed tough, even though they had powerhouses like Sherry and Zari, along with Alva, whose race was outside the norm.
If this were a normal situation, they seriously needed the power of Alva’s owner, who just happened to be the strongest powerhouse present here.
However, no one said that, without speaking out any complaints, they all were fighting by themselves.
Of course that was because......they knew that he was also fighting with another enemy, a lizard, which obviously seed like an extraordinarily strong opponent.
And also because, only he was the one who could take on that as an opponent.
Currently, just for one second, it was reflected in their eyes......
「Haaaaaaaaaaaah—-!!!」
『Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa—-!!』
They attacks were exchanged at a speed that couldn’t be discerned by eyes, it was a fight on level that only Sherry could know what was happening there.
The people concerned, no one interfered. They couldn’t.
Because they knew that they couldn’t do a thing, and there was aning in speaking anything.

——Gyooooooo
With a speed that a normal person wouldn’t even be able to notice let alone react to it, a hand with 5 sharp claws reached out towards my head as if wanting to break it.
I, who was already showing my seriousness with the magical energy of『darkness』, dodged that attack as if sothing jumped in my chest.
Before the other attack ca, I strike its stomach with my tightly-clenched and magical-energy-loaded fist.
However the feeling that was transmitted from the fist that hit it was, as though I had punched so humongous iceberg.
The solidness surpassed my expectations. The scales were also tough, and the flesh behind it was also quite solid.
......It completely made rember about 4 years ago.
And, barely an instant, it showed a strange wavering which made doubt if it faltered or not, and the Unknown let out its next attack soon after. The attack of the other arm flew at a frightening speed.
I closed up enough therefore, I judged it would be difficult to dodge, and guard myself with my arm......the next instant, a attack with power far surpassing the power of『Naga』’s rush impacted on my arm.
I purposely didn’t stand firm. I let the power fly away like that and reorganized my stance.
My arm beca a little bit numb......but no problem. I can move it.
There in no ti, Unknown let out another attack with its claws, but I forcibly warded it off by punching from the side.
And then, with my other arm......this ti,
(If stomach is not good then attack the......face!!)
Taking a solid stance, I punched the face of Unknown with all my might.
This ti it apparently worked, it bent backward greatly, and Unknown’s body stiffened.
Without a mont’s delay I tried to send out another attack, at that mont, in the peripheral vision of my eye sothing blackish was reflected, at the sa ti, sound of cutting the air rang out......and I at once averted my upper body.
The next mont, no nearly the sa ti, the whip-like tail buzzed and grazed my cheek.
*pssh*, my cheek was cut, and blew flowed from the single line.
......It has been a while, since I have shed out blood from an attack by a demon and not mom. It might be the first after using『Elental Blood』.
While thinking sothing like that, I perford back sorsault, flew backwards, and made so distance between us.
Dear , there was not even a cerebral concussion after hitting it with my whole power, huh. The teeth didn’t break and the scales also weren’t smashed. The facial shape was also the sa as before. Its bones were also fine, I bet it.
But I seed to cut a little bit within its mouth, more or less, it even spit out a little red blood mixed saliva......just that much. I’m losing confidence here.
And, this strong blow exchange......didn’t even take two seconds, just how fast was this battle going at? This fight was a fight that exploited the concentration power and nerve-transmission to their extre limits.
I thoroughly thought. That this『Unknown』in front of was different from all the demons I had fought till now.
Compared to that ti 4 years ago, I had surely beco strong.
However, even so, I couldn’t see bottom of this guy.
But well, it wasn’t an opponent could be complaining about.
I can only defeat it as soon as possible, using all of my 16 years.
I concluded that unwillingness was banned, and before the other attack ca at , I rotated the『darkness』magical energy in my whole body in a large quantity, that even naked eyes could see black colour seeping out from my body, and charge it.
This was my limit quantity, so that I don’t stop moving after charging too much.
Seeing my appearance, the Unknown’s eyes showed wariness.
However, its fighting spirit didn’t seem to have weakened. Well, I didn’t expect that from before, though.
And imdiately, the Unknown rushed at as if saying『Just great! 』.
Without having chance to feel the vigour and pressure, it covered up the 10 tres distance I had opened up in just an instant, and again its strong arm swung.
Its claws neared from the side, as if to gouge out my face......Or so I thought, but
(......!? Feint!?)
Right before I tried to guard against it, the arm suddenly stopped, changed its trajectory, and was pushed out as an overarm stroke seeming just like a spear. Its aim was......my throat.
「Oooooh!?」
The overarm stroke neared with the force of piercing and opening a hole –it also seed possible to happen if I took it head on-, but I knock it down by punching down from above with my knuckles, and before another attack ca, I let out a kick and seized its stomach.
With the full charge of『darkness』magical energy, my physical abilities were enhanced even more than before. My horizontal kick that attacked it in under that condition, bend the body of Unknown in the shape of symbol『
