Vol 4: Chapter 68
Even if they are being controlled, it probably isn’t to the smallest detail.
It must be a broad control. More importantly–
(Power and signal supply.)
Evidenced by how all the diators stopped at the exact sa mont.
「Gu, nununu!」
「Gaho!」
Knock-san was being pushed back in a contest of strength with the diator, and the Hundredman chief finally took a blow head on and was blown away.
It doesn’t change the fact that we are still at a disadvantage even after finding out that the Vision Ogre is controlling the diators from behind the scenes.
In the first place, there is no winning against 5 dragon-level opponents.
Even so, I saw a glimr of “hope”.
「【Fire magic】!」
Five fireballs ford one by one on the fingers of my left hand. When I shot them out, all five diators simultaneously jumped away. The fireballs exploded as soon as it hit the dark do.
「Kuh!」
Taking advantage of the opening after shooting magic, three diators charged towards from three different directions. I dodged their blows by a hair’s breadth, but a blow grazed my arm and cut open a bleeding wound.
「【Earth magic】!!」
This ti, I fired 5 Stone Bullets at point-blank range, but the diators evaded it and took a distance from .
「【Water Magic】,【Fire Magic】!」
I sheathed my dagger and shot magic with both hands. They flew like tracking missiles, but the diators twisted their bodies to dodge my attack.
I had shot one towards the diator who was trying to chase after the Hundredman chief, but that diator also jumped to the side as if he had eyes behind his back.
「Whoa! Where are you aiming!?」
My magic almost hit the Hundredman chief’s shoulder.
「Sorry!」
「Be careful!」
「More importantly, how are we supposed to get out of this situation!?」
Knock-san, who was worn-out, called out. The Hundredman chief was also running out of breath.
「I’m working on it!」
I ford magic on both hands again and shot it. The diators dodge it. Shoot again. Dodge. Shoot. Dodge.
「Whoa?! Has this guy finally gone crazy!?」
「Reiji-dono! Calm down!」
「Like I said!」
I continuously shot magic. Fla and ice danced inside of the do like fireworks.
「I’m working on it!!」
It was when the last fireball hit the dark do — it cracked and shattered with a pop sound. It shattered like ripples on water. The sunlight from outside shone in.
『What……!?』
I grinned as all five diators were in astonishnt.
「I told you I was working on it, right?」
The diator deployed this mysterious do into battle every ti. Perhaps it was to exercise “privileges” as a diator – such as a diator cannot be hard while within the do.
However, that was only the case in the Kruvan Holy Kingdom. When the do was destroyed, he started taking damage.
In the Underground city, however, the diator took damage even while the do was intact.
In other words, the diator can use “privileges” when acting on behalf of the Covenant, but when the do is destroyed, the diator’s “privileges” are lost. Or when it has nothing to do with the Covenant, such as was the case in the Underground city, the do is but a decoration.
The do this ti served no purpose but to block our escape route.
「I am going to use the magic that Anastasia used!」
「!?」
「!?」
When I shouted so, Knock-san and the Hundredman chief lay belly down on the ground without a mont’s delay. The diators ca back to their senses and jumped far back, thinking that I was going to invoke so terrible magic.
「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」
What I invoked was a mix of【Wind Magic】and【Earth Magic】.
It’s called “Sandstorm”.
Obviously, I can’t imitate Asha’s【Fire Magic】. But my purpose was to have Knock-san and the Hundredman chief take a defensive posture, and the diators who focused on evasion to keep a distance.
A trendous wind was generated. And by mixing a large amount of soil into it, the surroundings suddenly beca dim.
This is good enough… for a smokescreen.
「——Get up, both of you!」
「Eh? Wha? Where is that vivid and noble fla?」Knock-san asked.
「——Shhh!」
I pulled Knock-san up. The Hundredman chief imdiately realised my intention and was already approaching us.
We cannot win a fight with 5 diators.
The only thing we can do is–
「Let’s run away.」
Escape.
「O-Oi, why are we running north? It should be the opposite direction, right?」
The Hundredman chief asked, as we were running northward with all our might.
We slipped away within the sandstorm, but the diators would probably realize my true intention when the magic clears away. The five diators can share information between them, so if one finds us, the rest will co after us too.
I was running out of stamina and mana, but the diator’s side seed to be full of energy.
「No matter where we run, they will surely chase us down. So we might as well run to a place where we can give them the slip.」
Knock-san, the Hundredman chief, and I were running with【Support Magic】, so the trees, the surrounding buildings, and the stone pavings disappeared behind us as if we were flying.
「—That’s it right there.」
I intuitively knew what it was.
The presence I felt from that place was—how should I put it, it was too clean and pure.
On the contrary, you wouldn’t notice it if you didn’t think it was pure.
「It’s the First Altar!」
There was a hill with lush greenery before us.
And there was a small stone building at the summit.
