OOOOOOO!
What Kain heard was a howl that shook the forest.
A crushing sound reverberated, and the trees shook.
That was clearly the sound of battle.
Theres no mistaking it!
Kain was convinced that his own senses were right, and ran.
At the place he continued running to, Kain saw sothing rampaging while destroying the forest.
Sothing humanoid that looked like it was made of hardened dirt.
However, it wasnt the sort of thing that was called a Golem.
The humanoids faintly flowing surface reserved the Elents trait of not having a definite form.
Thats right, it was most likely correct to classify that as an Earth Elent.
It was clearly not normal, and even Kain was able to understand that this was what a powerful Elent was.
And then, that Earth Elent was currently in the middle of battle with sothing.
What was silently confronting the Earth Elent, was a young girl that had a single long sword at the ready.
What covered her body was purple clothing that didnt have a single stain on it. It had a form similar to a dress with a lot of frills.
The young ladys hair was purple with light waves.
Her purple eyes that were reminiscent of athyst gazed at the Earth Elent in front of her.
[Illustration]
OOOOOOOOOOOO!
Together with a howl, a rock that was the size of an adults head appeared in front of the Earth Elent.
And then, the rock that was fired at high-speed rushed at the young lady in order to crush herhowever, the young lady wasnt perturbed by that at all.
Kuh! I wont make it in ti!?
There wasnt enough ti for Kain to reach the young ladys side.
Even so, Kain continued running with all of his strength.
After that young lady turned her gaze to that Kain for only an instantHer mouth expressed a small smile, and evaded the rock that was approaching her with a magnificent step.
If those movents were to be compared to sothing, they were like a dance.
Matching her garnts very well, they were elegant movents that could only be described as magnificent.
Having no signs of being bothered by the rock that smashed the ground, the young lady provocatively smiled at the Earth Elent.
Filling the distance between her and the Earth Elent with steps that looked like a dance, she unleashed a high-speed thrust.
However, the young ladys attack was repelled by the Earth Elent, and only the sound of a collision that went *giin* resounded.
After evading the fist that the Earth Elent unleashed as a counterattack, the young girl fell to the back while making her beautiful steps.
Hey you! Are you alright!?
Finally reaching her, Kain stood in between the young lady and the Earth Elent.
Kain unsheathed the Hard Sword Tilnok from its scabbard, and glared at the Earth Elent.
After the young lady showed an expression that said that she found that to be surprising, she expressed a thin smile.
Yes.
I seeIll be backing you up but, do you have a problem with that?
If I were to say that I did have a problem with it, would you leave?
During their conversation, a cluster of rocks was ford in front of the Earth Elent.
However, through an Attack Light that Kain fired, it imdiately crumbled.
I wont leave, you know?
Ara, how selfish.
I might be!
Saying that, Kain readied the Hard Sword Tilnok, started running, and approached the Earth Elent.
O light!
Responding to Kains words, light magical power dwelled in the Hard Sword Tilnok.
With the Hard Sword Tilnok that emitted a dazzling light, Kain slashed at the Earth Elent.
URuorururuu!?
Maybe having felt a threat in that radiance, the Earth Elent hurriedly evaded the sword.
Seeing that behavior, Kain expressed an expression of surprise.
This guycould it be that it has an ego!?
Elents were close to being natural phenonon.
If that were to have an ego, then that was no longer a re natural phenonon.
If spoken in terms of Mazoku, it was sothing close to turning into a Majin.
The Earth Elent had achieved what should be described as an evolution.
However, Elents didnt have souls to begin with.
They didnt butwhat if one had succeeded in taking in a seed of life by taking in other living creatures.
An intolerable creature. A life that must not existIt might be sothing like that, couldnt it?
As if reading Kains thoughts, the young lady muttered.
The young lady then unleashed a thrust at the Earth Elent that tried to make an attack from Kains blind spot.
As expected, it was fruitlessly repelled, but it was enough to stop the Earth Elents movents.
Sorry, you saved !
Pay attention, got it?
The young lady grinned.
Before Kain could reply to that, a vigorous voice resounded.
FireChaaarge!
A spear clad in flas approached the Earth Elent.
However, although it was grazed by it, the Earth Elent evaded the spear with astounding evasive power.
Kain, are you alright!?
A Sword Spirit ran past as Seira readied her spear once again, and it unleashed a slash on the Earth Elent.
As the Earth Elent just barely evaded even that and tried to move into an attack, Ein, who had went around to its back, slashed the bottom of its neck.
Tsk!
Seeing that her blade was fruitlessly repelled, Ein took so distance while clicking her tongue.
Ein specialized in the sword, but she couldnt use a Magic Sword, and attack magic wasnt a strong point of hers either.
In other words, Ein didnt possess an effective thod of attack against this Earth Elent.
So its defensive power has been raised to a huge extent. What a troubleso opponent.
The Attack Fire that Rokuna fired made a violent explosion on the Earth Elent.
OOOORuarururuu!
The Earth Elent raised an anguished voice, however, by making so of the magical power that it amassed burst, it blew away the fire that covered itself.
Hn, youre pretty good.
After saying that sounding impressed, Rokuna was about to cast even more magicthen ca to a complete stop.
Ah, crap. Thered be no aning to this if I do it.
She could use any amount of magic to defeat that Earth Elent, but she wouldnt achieve her objective like that.
If it was this sturdy, it would surely beco a good guinea pig for Summon Magic.
Thinking that, Rokuna shouted.
Sharon, listen to carefully! This guys movents are fast and its solidHowever, that isnt all!
Eh, wh, what do you an?
Heeh
Kain was surprised by Rokunas words, while the purple young lady raised a voice of admiration.
That guy is a fusion of Earth and Wind! It should be reading movents to a certain extent with wind! If you have a guy that uses Wind, then summon them!
I, I cant do that!
Why not!
I, I. I cant call out anything but things of the Water Elent!
Hearing that, Rokuna realized.
In the data of Sharons Adventurer card that Vermudol said he saw, she had heard that she had this kind of technical skill.
God of Waters Divine Protection.
So thats how it is.
A Gods Divine ProtectionThat was the key.
Summon Magic was in other words magic to manifest a god-like existence.
The Sword Spirit and Bow Spirit were either retainers of the Gods, or a fragnt of the Gods powerIn short, this is how it would turn out.
To use Summon Magic, a contract with that god-like existence would have to be ford, and so compensation would be required.
In the case of the Sword Spirit, it was magical power in order to create the sword, and in the case of the Bow Spirit, it was magical power arrows.
Those portions of magical power would be seized within Sharon as compensation that was determined in the contract.
Since the compensation was too heavy with the magical power amount that mankind possessed, that was the reason why Summon Magicians couldnt use Elental Magic very well.
The reason why they couldnt summon the God itself is most likely due to reasons such as a limit to their magical power amount and the compensation, that is what Rokuna had concluded to.
However, the magical power problem could be cleared if it was Rokuna who was a Mazoku.
All that was left was the divine protection butthis was sothing she couldnt do anything about.
Either she had to think of a way to obtain a divine protectionOr, she had to get soone that possessed a divine protection to use Summon Magic.
I wonder if Vermudol has oneis what she thought, but after thinking that she couldnt allow Vermudol to use magic where even the compensation was unknown, she reconsidered.
And then, Rokuna was about to be subrged into her sea of thoughts, but she rembered that they were in the middle of battle and restrained herself from doing so.
If you really cant do it, then tell ! Ill go ahead and blow it away with the forest!
Since it would put an end to it with a single attack if it were an attack that the humanoid Earth Elent couldnt avoid even if it read the wind or sothing, that was the easiest way to do it.
However, Kain and the others hurriedly shook their heads sideways.
It, its fine! Please leave it to us!
Really?
The young lady giggled as she watched Kain vigorously nod.
Well, I suppose its about ti to conclude this.
Eh?
Hearing the young ladys mutter, Kain turned around.
After turning her sword towards the Earth Elent, the young lady made a clear declaration.
O darkness.
Darkness dwelled in the young ladys sword.
Since Darkness Magic was once suspected of being a connection with the Mazoku, it was a magic whose users had completely disappeared.
Even now, there wasnt anyone that would voluntarily use it.
The thing that the young lady had manifested was a Darkness Magic Sword, which could be said to be the height of Darkness Magic.
So you were a Magic Swordsman
Thats right. More importantly, well attack it all at once.
Eh? Ah!
Hearing the young ladys words, Seira shouted sounding as if she realized it.
I see. If we attack from different directions, then it cant avoid everything!
Thats only if the opponent doesnt fly, though?
Seira flinched for an instant at the young ladys words, but imdiately moved to the Earth Elents back.
Maybe because the Sword Spirit also understood that, it took up a position in a different direction than Kain and Seira.
Lets go, everyone!
Having no way of avoiding the attacks that ca from multiple directions that were unleashed simultaneously with Kains shout, the Earth Elent returned to being a lump of earth while raising a voice that resembled a scream.
