Episode 622. If you can’t push it, break it (6)
* * *
The first shelling is just a greeting.
Harial lowered his outstretched arm and looked ahead.
I could see Arele Ernesia and her collaborators who had already pushed in quite a bit from the shore.
“Back off.”
The target of those words were the reincarnated people on the Allied side of Herial.
The reincarnated person who noticed the intention asked.
“… … Are you coming forward yourself?”
“There is no point in dragging it out for a long time. I will go out on my own.”
It doesn’t matter how many reincarnated people on the alliance side are destroyed by them, but if it’s reduced too much, it will be cumbersome to deal with later.
The less you do, the more work you have to do.
“The other side also seems to want me to welcome them directly. If so, dealing with it now will do less damage.”
The faces of the collaborators were not very bright, as if they understood the words as a rebuke to the allies who had not been able to keep them properly.
Most of the people who have a lot of ego talk about it, so the level of dissatisfaction is revealed.
U ha
? ?????
“I’m not blaming you guys for anything… … And I also want to use my strength myself for today. He looks a little excited.”
Harial took a step before she could finish her words.
He narrowed the distance at once and entered the middle of their display, facing Arel, who was glaring at him as if he had been waiting.
“… … It’s like.”
Harial laughed and waved her arms.
In an instant, what was Arel was destroyed.
He already noticed that Arel disappeared almost immediately after Harial arrived.
“When did he come out and did he himself hide this time? Isn’t that right, Rerensen? You must have helped with this prank, right?”
“… … I can’t help but feel fooled.”
Rerensen, who was handling a clay figure disguised as Arell, looked away as if he was troubled.
I tried to hold back the expression of regret.
This is also something we discussed.
Around the time Harial came out, I swapped Arel and the fake one.
The Arel himself had just left this place a little while ago.
“May I ask you for reference? How did you find out?”
Camouflage would have been perfect.
Distinctive sense of smell and voice?????? Because everything was perfectly disguised.
“Nothing. I didn’t really see through.”
“???? then?”
“I thought it was natural given his personality.”
It is nothing more than guessing and photographing.
“Isn’t he a very honest character? It is only natural to expect it.”
“… … I don’t really have anything to say about that.
You’re pretty laid back than that. Aren’t you interested in where that Arrelborn went?”
Rirensen deliberately makes meaningless remarks to pass the time and secretly prepares for battle.
The same goes for other reincarnations.
“… … It’s obvious. Have you arrived over there by now?”
I can’t think of anywhere else to go.
By now, Arell should be sneaking into his lab and inspecting the device.
It doesn’t matter though.
At that level, I wouldn’t commit to destroying the device hastily.
There are things you can trust because you know the level of your opponent.
Anyway, Arel has no choice but to come back to target Heriel himself.
“Are you trying to stop the occult first after deliberately wasting your time? I don’t know if it’s a different idea. You can do it slowly, one by one… … First of all, since this is what happened, I’ll silence you guys first.”
Apparently, Hariel had no intention of going back after Arel.
What kind of confidence do you have?
Thanks to that, I don’t think there will be any trouble keeping him in this place for even a little longer.
From the point of view of the Rerencens, it was impossible to laugh lightly.
That is, they now have to fight him.
“I thought it would be like this… … I’m not very happy… …
“Isn’t that what you were prepared for?”
“… … I agreed, so it won’t do any good to come here and cry.”
They have raised their resolve and are already ready to fight at any time, ready to fight.
“Above all, if we subdue the author, we can scream!”
“… … Oh, that attracts me.”
Rirensen calmly agreed and activated the spell she had completed.
At the same time, the ground beneath Heriel’s feet exploded.
“With the magic I prepared in advance, I turned everything under the ground into inflammable material.”
At the same time, it created a stone wall for allies to protect themselves from oppression.
but don’t expect
Before the smoke could dissipate, the reincarnated people raised their fighting spirit and jumped over the stone wall.
“Haaaaaaaa!”
Beckin swung the linking sword with spirit.
The connecting sword draws a complex trajectory, increasing its substance, and the center where the deflagration rises.
In other words, it was poured toward the enemy.
The place where the sword’s trajectory passes is sharp enough to give the illusion that space itself is splitting.
However, it is not intended to slash the enemy.
I know that there is no such thing as this level of blackness.
The tracks of the chained swords, which had increased countless times, wrapped around him like a spider’s web, as if restraining him.
“next! It won’t last long.”
“I know!”
Nelly shouted and used magic right away.
Soon, tree branches as thick as the thickness of a human shin were summoned and flew into the gaps that the trajectory of the connecting sword did not cover, filling them tightly.
The broken tree branches start to emit unusual thunderbolts.
“I won’t give you a chance!”
“I’ll bake you all!”
Soon, the personality that completely filled the gap poured into the center.
The complex sword energy of the connecting sword continuously hacks at the target point, and the tree branch stabs the point where the sword skill did not reach.
” next!”
“Let’s help this one too!”
“Go away! You arrogant bastard!”
Soon after, the other collaborators likewise cooperate in their own way and launch a barrage of attacks.
Curse the black magic and everything else.
Each of us unfolds all the seasons that we can.
Then, without checking the result, it continues on to the next attack.
There is a shock that makes you wonder if the world is shaking without rest.
But never stopped.
Without thinking that the enemy would be defeated, they continued to cooperate as much as they could.
‘Have you fallen?’ don’t say the same bullshit
Even if the guy fell down, it didn’t matter.
It was to thoroughly dispose of it as if it did not matter even if the body was bombed.
“Something. really… … It is bitter.”
As expected, the sound of his lamentation could be heard from the center of the explosion.
he is fine
“… … That’s a real monster.”
“If you guys have enough experience, this will be enough.”
As if responding to Nellie’s grumbling voice, Harial jumps out intact and reaches out to grab her.
“I’ll take care of them one by one like this.”
“Chit! I want to make a reservation! There are so many things I want to do here! When I get home, my cute boys are waiting for me!”
It is for personal reasons, indeed, fueled by desire.
“… … Was that your hobby?”
“I don’t want to hear nagging!”
In response, Nelly panicked and desperately pulled her body back.
If you touch anything, it’s over.
Allies are also attacking to help her… … .
“It’s useless.”
As Harial winked, a thunderbolt struck from above, knocking back part of the reinforcements.
Reluctantly, Beckin stepped out.
Without hesitation, he discarded the connecting sword and took out a normal straight sword.
went straight into confrontation.
“I just wanted to compete! After all, we have to compete head-on, don’t we!”
“… … I would have said it was useless.”
Harial sneered.
Although his swordsmanship is considerable, it is not enough to handle himself alone.
Harial summoned a sword from the air without hesitation, grabbed it, and hit all of the sword energy he threw at it.
He destroyed his swordsmanship at once and took advantage of that gap to stab him in the neck.
At the same time, the earthen dolls, the alter egos of Rerensen, soared off the floor and clung to Herial, and they hardened into stone statues.
“Interrupt… …
Right after breaking the stone statues, the tree vines Nellie prepared sprouted.
It is a seed shed while fleeing.
The vines, which grew in an instant, wrapped around Harial.
As soon as you touch the vine, your skin melts in a hideous way.
“… … This?!”
“It’s an improved species of sacred tree that I managed to get my hands on.”
“sacred? Is this what you mean?”
When I touch it, why does it melt all over my skin?
Wouldn’t it be more correct to call it a cursed tree?
Nellie seemed a bit embarrassed to admit that, too, and she blurted out her words.
“… … It’s so divine that it seems to recognize all living things other than itself as unclean. Well, it’s worth using in battle.”
“Is the standard of divinity objective?”
The effect surpassed his regenerative powers, and Harial clicked his tongue reflexively while being intrigued.
It’s not just melting.
It absorbs his internal power itself and disperses it as well.
Surely this is annoying.
I tried to set fire to the body first, but it didn’t work.
Instead, we want to test another response right away.
“The effect is considerable, but if the root is a plant… …
Harial immediately concocted a formula.
I concocted and activated a spell that would only remove the plant itself.
Originally, it could be used as much as it was applied to agricultural techniques to remove weeds.
At the same time, the tree vines do not completely wither and crumble.
“So it’s just a piece of grass.”
Nelly bit her lip in resentment at Harial brushing off the charred wood grain as if it were funny.
“… … So far, it’s as expected. It doesn’t work either.”
That’s what I said, but in reality it was pretty pitiful.
It was a method of considerable effort.
He was obviously confident that even if the opponent was a reincarnated person, he would be eaten enough.
Even if she died, she couldn’t say that she was confident in its effectiveness because she herself improved it and actually tied it up.
Harial, who has completely regained her physical freedom, walks out leisurely, shaking her hands.
He asks lightly, as if full of confidence that he can deal with all those who have revealed this to him without hastily pursuing them.
“Okay, so what next?”
“What! I’ll keep hitting it!”
With the voice of Rerensen, the wreckage of a warship flew past Herial’s side at high speed.
While Harial was tied up, Lirensen had fashioned a huge earthen hand and was preparing to throw one of the warship’s fragmented remains.
And when released, he threw it without hesitation.
“Like this.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Rirensen threw the remaining one away.
But this time, Harial swung his fist upwards, and it flew high into the sky like a volleyball and shattered.
If you are not vigilant, playing with a ball with a mass of thousands of tons is no big deal.
In the first place, being beaten a little while ago didn’t do much damage.
It was just pushed out because of the difference in mass.
Even so, Harial’s mouth hardened a little, as if the ugliness from earlier hadn’t been very pleasant.
“hmm… … Surely, your alter ego did something similar last time?”
“You are so petty.”
Rerensen responded moderately and moved on to the next move.
The reason why I threw the iron wire was not to make him smile bitterly.
to fight in earnest.
“Finish… … They smashed the iron plate very appropriately, so it saved me a lot of troublesome work.”
“I just had to break it evenly. It’s easy to use my magic.”
Rirensen nodded contentedly as he looked around at the titanium alloy shards scattered around him.
There could be no more ideal environment to use her magic.
“Then, let’s go somewhere to test it out.”
When Rirensen cast a spell, an iron plate that just landed at her feet wriggled.
yes.
The iron plate, which made a strange sound and trembled, flew towards Harial with a faint light.
