Madman in a Fantasy World

125. disaster

“One trillion loads!”

Following the command of the commander, the elves drew a protest. Among them were archers with large bows anchored to the floor, but no arrows were held in their hands.

Soon, the hands of the elves who drew the strings of their bows glowed green. It took 1 minute for the wind to gather and form the shape of an arrow. Considering that we were currently in a raid, it took quite a long time to reload.

But its power seemed certain. The large arrow caught in the string was no longer a bow, but a large ballista.

“Fire 1 group!”

Soon after, the commander’s order came, and the elves pulling the strings let go.

-Faang-!

So, there was a loud bangong sound that I couldn’t even imagine that I was shooting an arrow. The arrows that left the hands of the elves were so powerful that, unlike normal bows that were affected by gravity, they shot in a straight line without any shaking.

The arrows that arrived in the blink of an eye hit the Volcanic Ceratopsian’s legs without missing a single one. The characteristic of arrows that pierce through things has long since disappeared. It was because the wind, which could be called a small storm, exploded and cut off the volcanic ceratopsian’s legs.

At the unexpected attack, the Volcanic Ceratopsian let out a roar and threw back the attacked leg. Even though it was such a strong attack, I guess I couldn’t bend it.

“Wow… that’s great…”

“This is an elf…”

Tia and Stella, who were by Arthur’s side, admired. It was because the firepower was considerable, and the scale of the battle could not be seen as dealing with only one monster. But now there was no time for admiration.

“Let’s do what we have to do.”

Arthur’s party’s mission now is to prepare for the demons that may attack at any moment. In order to be faithful to him, Arthur and the heroines stood back to back and guarded their surroundings.

However, if there was one thing that had been overlooked, it was not the most dangerous demon or Luke here, but the volcanic horned dragon in front of him.

-thud!

Volcanic Ceratopsian took a step forward. Then, large footprints were formed on the ground, which could not bear the weight, and dust was scattered. The Volcanic Ceratopsian, which had already been like a disaster from its large body, did not stop there. Black smoke billowed from the volcano on its back, covering the bright sky with darkness.

-Kwaaang!!

Immediately after, the volcano exploded with an explosion sound. Volcanic ash mixed with the air created a blurry view, so it was now impossible to tell whether it was morning or evening, and numerous volcanic bombs began to fall in a parabolic arc from the erupted volcano.

“This crazy…!”

Arthur was stunned by the sight. Of course, the direction the volcanic bomb was flying was where Arthur and the elves were. I was prepared to a certain extent, but the size of the flying fireball reminded me of a small sun, so I had no choice but to curse.

The flying volcanic bomb was not liquid. The carapace of the volcanic ceratopsian was burning in a sharp shape.

“Support team! Fire!”

At that time, along with the commander’s voice, several arrows hit the volcanic bomb. Kwakwawang! The volcanic bomb that exploded turned into powder and disappeared. Fortunately, I was able to block one shot, but unfortunately, there was not one attack.

The elves who had not finished loading yet could not respond to the second volcanic bullet that followed. It was the same with Arthur’s group.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

As he pondered, a black long-haired man passed by Arthur. By the time Arthur realized it belatedly, the volcanic bomb had already turned into powder and disappeared.

“The attack is more splendid than I thought.”

The name of the man speaking is Gideon. It was the moment when humanity’s strongest swordsman stepped forward. Arthur wanted to say thank you, but unfortunately there was no time to do so now.

“If I’m here, he won’t come out, so I’m going forward. So you do what you have to do.”

“···All right.”

After that, Gideon leaped toward the Volcanic Ceratopsian while slashing the falling volcanic bombs. When Gideon entered the war, the situation changed. All the falling volcanic bombs disappeared before hitting the ground, and as he swung his blunt weapon, the Elves succeeded in bringing the Volcanic Ceratopsian to its knees.

Even after that, Gideon showed attacks using various weapons, befitting his nickname of Weapon Master. At first, he wielded a blunt weapon, and then he picked up a spear and threw it at the eye of the Volcanic Ceratopsian.

The raid was progressing steadily, but the current situation had several problems. Even the S-class adventurers were away, and the elves couldn’t take their eyes off the volcanic horned dragon even for a moment. The forest was dark thanks to the smoke rising from the volcano, and this was the best situation for the Demons to come out.

“Kikkikkukkukkikkikeukkyukkyak—──────────.”

An unpleasant sound came from behind Arthur’s group. It came out of the darkness proudly, to the extent that I couldn’t believe that it had been hiding like that until now.

A man with purple skin, red pupils, and sharp teeth came into the sight of Arthur and the others. Anyone could see that the non-human was licking the blade of the claw with its tongue.

“Arthur!”

“Mr. Arthur!”

“yes.”

Arthur and the heroines immediately prepared for battle. The demons, who had just watched it, rushed at it as if they were having fun.

“Kyahahahahaha!!!”

– Kang!

The blades clashed against each other, making a scraping sound. Arthur’s sword burrowed between the blades of the claws. The speed of the demons was very fast. To the extent that Arthur, who had eaten all the opportunities, could barely catch up.

“Kuh…!”

It wasn’t pushed back by power, but the attack that flew at such a high speed was accelerated and weighed a lot.

At that time, when the demon lowered his hand, the claw rode the sword face down to the position where the cross guard was with a kaga-gak sound.

The demon holding the sword in that state. Because of that, Arthur couldn’t easily move his sword.

“What…?!”

After that, the demon launched an attack with the remaining arm. Arthur, who holds the sword with both hands, has two options.

Pushing and attaching with force as it is, giving up the sword and falling backwards. If I took halfway measures to hold the sword and try to evade, I would be pushed back and Chloe’s body would be pierced.

However, Arthur took a evasive action while holding the sword with one hand. The corner of the demon’s mouth went up as if it would tear, but it is possible if there is a party member who can back up movements that would be impossible if it were alone.

Ice spears and rock awls that flew from the side hit the demon’s side. Then, as the demons were pushed back, the sword caught in the claw came out naturally.

“Kahak…!”

Arthur thought as he watched the demons licking the blood flowing between their mouths with their tongues in the place where they were pushed out.

‘It’s easier than I thought…?’

Of course, easy was a relative metaphor. Considering the events I’ve done so far, the fact that only three can face off was easy.

Arthur thought that he would be able to keep pushing forward like this.

“Kick, Kihihik! It’s fun! Have more fun until I kill you!”

I don’t understand the current situation, or I’m just a combat maniac. Rather, the demon raised the corner of his mouth and laughed happily.

And the demons leaping once again. Likewise, I raised my sword to confront.

‘Is it faster than before?!’

Is it an illusion? I thought so, but it was definitely faster. I was barely able to follow it with my eyes earlier, but as it became faster, it became difficult to cope with anything other than reacting with my senses. If you go faster here, you will die without being able to react.

This time, the demons were not targeting Arthur, but Tia and Stella, who were behind them. Prior to battle, targeting the supporters and magicians in the rear first is the standard of the standard. Arthur leaped quickly and blocked the blade between the demons and the heroines.

“Keuk…?!”

The weight of the attack, which was faster than before, was considerable. The claw’s blade protruded from the gap between the shields and came right in front of Arthur’s eyes. Because of that, an invisible blind spot was created on one side, and the demons who aimed for that spot tried to attack quickly as well.

A wall of rock jutting out from the side protected Arthur’s side. Then, as before, an ice spear flew into the demon’s side. However, Arthur wasn’t the only one who didn’t suffer the same thing, and the demons also jumped backwards and evaded the attack.

Considering that his life went back and forth several times in that short period of time, the consumption of his mental power was no joke. The moment Arthur gathers his mind to focus and catches his breath.

“Hee hee…! Hee hee, ha ha, kya ha ha!”

Suddenly, the demons started to laugh in a bad mood.

– Fu-wook!

“······!”

He cut his body with a claw. The problem was that it wasn’t just one time. cutting oneself, stabbing oneself. The demons continued to harm themselves.

What are you doing? The moment Arthur had a question.

“Kihihi, kehehehehe!”

A shady aura glowed around the demon’s body, and soon it stopped moving. Since it was a demon that had never appeared in the original work, it was Arthur who did not know what ability he had.

In a situation where you had to fight 3:1 to be equal, there was no time to leisurely grasp the abilities of the demons.

A good way to overcome this situation is to kill the demons before they use their abilities. Believing that he could do it if he was blessed by the World Tree, he asked Tia and Stella to support him.

“Tia, Stella. I think we need to finish quickly. I’ll ask for your support.”

“Leave it to me!”

“Yes!”

It was Arthur who took the lead this time. The demons were still not moving. Although the unknown movement was frightening, he intended to kill him by aiming for the gap between them. The moment Arthur, who had reached the edge of the demons, threw his sword with spirit.

“Keuk…!”

Suddenly, the demons were behind Arthur, and in that moment Arthur’s whole body was full of lacerations. Obviously, the demons could have killed Arthur, but they didn’t deliberately. Rather, he giggled and continued to carve lacerations on Arthur’s body.

and that time. somewhere in the forest.

“Whew—it seems fortunate that it’s not too late.”

“…it’s late.”

Luke has arrived on the battlefield.
