Chapter 165: The Weak of Light (1)

Eh? Maybe I can never leave this town again?

A barrier that occurs if an existence of darkness tries to leave outside the loop line. I received an explanation from Arrow along the way, but does this also apply to me? The driving force being power of darkness does not change, and what about a school trip, only me staying behind...?

Recently interactions with the chairperson and them are also fun, and if I can go I want to go together with everyone, but what becomes of this. Or rather the station and trains were judged inside the town and helped, if no good I would have dynamically exposed identity on the previous holiday. Thinking that far I shake my head this is not a time to think that kind of thing, am I an idiot.

"Knuckle! I leave the front to you!"

"Yes!"

With an instruction Arrow put out while releasing arrows, Knuckle who had been hiding and lurking until just now jumped out.

Frankly she cannot do things like concealment at all, and magical power of light leaking so much even I understand the location, but precisely because of that she hid my existence. Because weak small, the more powerful enemies and allies become the more they become unable to recognize my existence.

And as assumed Koito chose interception.

Me and Knuckle, and Arrow. Among the Sacred camp only guys with low specs, and precisely because of that that guy cannot choose the option of retreat.

If an opponent overwhelmingly stronger than himself he would desperately flee, but being looked down on from above by an opponent he thought weaker than himself seems unbearable.

In fact Arrow and me are inferior to that guy in physical ability, and Knuckle winning in physical ability loses in technique. Precisely because Koito thinks an opponent he can win with room he does not flee.

"Sei!"

"Lukewarm lukewarm, obvious young girl!"

Therefore Knuckle’s attack being avoided is a set course.

I slide on the ground and circle behind Koito, and scatter lotion toward that guy.

However high that guy’s physical ability, he is standing and running with two legs. Then if feet are taken by slippery lotion movement dulling is inevitable!

"Kukaka, slow, weak, dull! With that how have you been fighting!"

But the shot tongue sticks to a building wall, and Koito who kicked the ground vigorously jumped to the sky.

While drawing a parabola gururi and jumping, the destination is the direction of rear Arrow.

While striking away with a fist an arrow released for interception, Koito twists his expression with joy.

"First, one!"

But on Arrow’s expression there is neither anxiety nor fear. She puts on a small smile fu and jumped from the building.

A fist shatters the building’s rooftop, but immediately Koito high-speed falls toward Arrow. She immediately releases an interception arrow, but that guy does not even change complexion and struck the arrow down. The arrow overtakes falling Arrow and is slammed to the ground.

Koito sneers. There is no way I let you escape, with an ugly face as if saying that.

"That is so, I do not intend to flee."

In contrast Arrow indifferently released power.

Behind Arrow staring at closing Koito, countless vines stretch from the ground.

That green thing stretching making a zawa-zawa sound approaches Koito like tentacles... but with only sweeping a fist it is torn off, loses power, and falls to the ground.

But that is fine. With dealing with countless vines Koito’s falling speed dulls.

Arrow lands while killing momentum with remaining vines, quickly retreats from that place, and a mere instant later Koito falls. The ground vines grew on, surrounding asphalt, a nearby building’s entrance is shattered.

At that state my mouth corner pulled.

In the original a Magician Diabolic I could win most easily, but don’t joke, if hit with that kind of power the likes of me blow away in one blow.

"Your opponent is me...!"

"Kukaka, a woman inviting from her side! Fine, I will taste you."

He parries Knuckle charging in several seconds delayed from landing, and immediately counterattacks. In that instant the ground rises and bounces Knuckle to the sky. The fist ended only crushing an earthen wall vainly.

I who slid to behind that guy leaking a hateful voice stretch tentacles and scatter adhesive liquid. I cannot think I can restrain with only that, but even so if movement dulls even an instant it is acceptable.

"Will it hit fool!"

But he is avoided easily to a degree I think does he have eyes on the back. Shit, even though not calling a technique name or putting out a shout, why seen through this easily...!

Becoming a face-to-face fight like this I realize. Combat sense being scarce is natural, but in the first place I lack training. Though I did this and that self-taught, that kind of thing is all an amateur’s ideas. Though the same Earth person, compared to Knuckle apprenticed to Saber movement is a difference of clouds and mud.

Precisely because of that Koito does not even look at me. On top of not regarding important from the start, this real ability. Thought no problem even if left.

"There."

"Lukewarm!"

But only the reaction toward Arrow is sharp.

A sniping that struck the opening of avoiding my mucus was shot down with the tongue as if natural.

If Arrow’s one shot were powerful like Saber and them, or even if power equal to just now if she could release like rain it would have been decided, but until she releases the next arrow there is a slight time lag. As a result Koito closes distance to Arrow while avoiding Knuckle and my pursuit.

The threat degree Koito sees is high in order Arrow releasing arrows while changing terrain, Knuckle who if a direct hit would take severe damage, and weak-small me.

That understanding is correct.

Actually Koito avoids my and Knuckle’s attacks without even looking, but only Arrow’s sniping he shoots down using tongue or limbs. Because attacked at a timing he cannot avoid.

Even if Arrow’s light is weak compared to other Sacred, even so the compatibility difference of light and darkness is tremendous. If a direct hit it would become enough damage.

Precisely because of that prioritizing attacking Arrow more than us two is logical. Even if clumsily prioritizing us he only gets fled with Arrow’s support like just now. Then eliminate Arrow, after that suck up Knuckle’s magical power, release transformation and beat down, and if he beats down remaining me that guy’s win.

"This...!"

Knuckle who had been bounced releases a kick while falling, but that guy while facing Arrow avoids without danger. The ground the kick directly hit sinks, and a shockwave winds around the surroundings. There is power, if it hits it is probably big damage. But whatever attack if it does not hit there is no meaning.

Knuckle’s expression twists.

Told the front is left to her and this appearance. Far from hitting the enemy, she cannot even hold Koito heading to rear Arrow.

Before combat Arrow said that is fine...!

Telling us two to fight head-on with the enemy’s top, a Magician Diabolic, is unreasonable.

Therefore before combat start Arrow told.

To Knuckle keep attacking even if it does not hit, to me scatter multiple mucus even if they miss.

But seeing released lotion avoided and splashed on a building I inevitably become anxious. Is this really fine?

And if hit with Koito’s specs Arrow’s durability can only endure about several blows. Even if there is attribute compatibility light overwhelmingly advantageous against darkness, the difference in raw status is too great.

Precisely because I know Saber and Knight’s overwhelming strength, precisely because I know fights without danger I become anxious. No, I shake my head.

She said she can hunt. The strongest Sacred in the original.

Then trust that and entrust.

And if I really think dangerous I stretch a tentacle hand like crazy.

Calm down, do not hurry, properly leave it, but do not stop thinking.

Possibility of thinking of a good plan is probably below decimal point, but if I abandon thinking even that below-decimal-point possibility vanishes. Since becoming a Tentacle Monster Villain parallel thinking got good, think while fighting, do what I can, me...!

While staring at Koito’s movement and Arrow’s movement I slide on the road becoming tattered. Toward Koito going straight toward Arrow she separates by raising the ground.

"Did you think the same hand works many times, fool!"

In that instant Koito swept the raised ground with the tongue.
