Chapter 79 Monster Horde



In the first place, when a strong predator appears in a place, what would the inhabitants of a location do?

They would simply migrate from some place to another.

This is pretty simple knowledge from Earth.

And there is such a thing in this world as well.

When an existence that emits a huge pressure appears, the monsters that live in the wilderness will move from their place to a safer one while forming a dangerous existence.

Monster Horde.

It is a very huge threat for adventurers because the huge number of monsters would make the fight a lot harder if there is not enough information beforehand.

And that is exactly the situation we are in right now.

"GUYS! GET READY! WE HAVE A COMPANY!"

The moment I heard a voice of Wayne screaming, I got ready to leave the carriage.

"Stay here; we will deal with this."

"Okay."

Saying that I left the carriage.

"How many monsters?"

"I don\'t know. Saphielle couldn\'t confirm the exact numbers, but there are at least 100 there."

"Hundred, huh? Are there any strong ones?"

"No. At least not yet."

"Okay."

"We need to pay for the defense until the dragon is subjugated. After that, we can make reactive monster repellent."

"Understood."

"Let\'s go. Everyone, get in formation. This fight will probably be our hardest fight so far, so put everything on the line."

"""Okay, captain."""

After confirming that, every member of the party took their place, waiting for the monsters.

/SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/

With the strong wind flowing through our noses and sweeping the leaves, the atmosphere was tense.

From time to time, the tremors of the fight echoed under our feet, showing the battle was still going on in the city.

"CREEEEK!"

A bunch of arrows flew to the middle of the trees, followed was a bunch of monster screams.

<Monster in the vicinity detected.>

<Trait [Witcher] is activated.>

Marking the start of the fight.

"CREEK!" "SCREECH"

/CLANK/

With my sword raised, I blocked the claw of a monster coming through my face.

\'Fogclaw.\'

\'A 3-star rank monster that is highly agile. It can also camouflage itself and blend into the environment.\'

\'This is not a good much right now.\'

Immediately concluding the name of the monster, I dashed to the side, dodging the other strike.

/SPLURT/

And then pierced the monster\'s head with my sword, smashing its brain.

/PISSS/ /PISSS/

However, the moment I cut the monster, a fog started spreading through the environment.

\'Just as I thought, they had already used their magic.\'

/SWOOSH/ /CLANK/ /CLANK/

Before I could even think any further, I blocked another strike of a monster coming through my face.

/CRACKLE/

Sending a lightning bolt to the monster, I paralyzed it for a second.

/STAB/

Then stabbed its head, killing it.

/PISS/ /PISS/

And another wave of smoke started spreading from its stomach.

This is the reason why they are called \'Fogclaws.\'

Because they can use a type of special water magic that spreads the fog around the environment when they are killed, making it easier for others to hide.

\'I can\'t see anything. If this goes on, I will get overwhelmed.\'

\'All Seeing Eye.\'

Activating my [All Seeing Eye], I started looking around to see any traces of mana around.

\'Found you.\'

Seeing the mana traces being left on the ground, I located the position of the monsters.

/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/

With my Aura imbued to my body as well as lightning imbued to my legs, I bolted toward the monsters.

/SWOOSH/ /SLASH/

With a fast speed, I slashed the first monster from its neck, severing its head.

/THUD/

And then, rotating my body, I threw a kick to the other one staggering it.

/STAB/

Stabbing the one in my front, I killed the third one, not letting it have any time to attack.

/SLASH/

"Huh?"

Feeling a slight pain coming in my back, I turned my head to see another monster standing.

"Grrr...."

\'A White Tiger, not good.\'

Seeing the growling monster in front of me with white fur and a bloodstained mouth, I thought.

/CLANK/ /CLANK/

The monster leaped on top of me, attacking me with its claws.

\'It is fast.\'

\'My moves are not smooth; I am getting tired already.\'

Since I had been fighting with the heretics in the city, my condition was no longer at its peak.

Coupled with the injury I had on my back, my moves were getting worse and worse.

/CLANK/ /CLANK/

Trying to deflect every attack being thrown at me, I tried to open the distance.

\'This monster being peak three-star one doesn\'t help either.\'

"GRRRRR! ROAR!"

Suddenly, the tiger stopped and started condensing a sphere of white in front of it.

\'It is using its magic.\'

Immediately concluding that fact, I imbued my legs with lightning mana increasing my speed faster than normal.

/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/ /SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/

And then, started dodging the white lances being thrown at me.

/STAB/

However, no matter how fast I was, dodging every bit of them was not possible.

"Kurgh---"

Feeling the pain coming from my left shoulder, I gritted my teeth.

\'I can\'t stay like this forever; I need to think something.\'

Blocking the strikes of the monster, I thought.

"School of Iai. Heaven Flash."

/SWOOSH/ /SLASH/ /THUD/

But before I could do anything further, something flashed in front of me.

And following was the severed neck of a monster lying on the ground.

/SCHLINK/

And the sound of the sword being sheathed.

"You looked like you needed help. I hope I am not intruding."

Saying that the man with a smile turned his face towards me.

"Thanks, mister Akira."

\'Acknowledging your own shortcomings is a good attitude.\'

"You\'re welcome. But, call me Brother Akira from now on."

"Huh?"

Before I could say anything, he left my place, returning his own.

\'That was fast. I couldn\'t even sense it before it appeared in front of me.\'

\'But now is not the time to think that. I can\'t afford to be distracted.\'

With that thought, I started fighting again, not thinking of anything else.

Slashing monsters, feeling the blood spurring to my body from them.

Throwing lightning mana at the monsters, from time to time, paralyzing them.

Getting injured from time to time and then treating myself with potions.

That was a loop that contained very painful memories.

However, thanks to the swordsman that helped me in that fight, I remembered I was not alone.

That was the psychology I entered myself since I had been fighting by myself most of the time.

I needed to remember the fact that I was no longer fighting alone but fighting as a party.

Thanks to that, I started collaborating with others more.

The black-haired swordsman that helped me, Ishimoto Akira. A four-star adventurer.

The adventurer with a huge body attacking monsters swinging its claymore all around, the captain of the party, Wayne Hubbard. Another four-star one.

The man, with two daggers in his hands, slaughtered monsters at a fast speed. Euan Mcleod. The three-star rouge class of our party.

Two elven girls with identical faces are standing in the center of the party, attacking monsters from a certain range. One of them fired arrows, the other one firing magical attacks, filling the empty spaces. Keyphine Twins.

And lastly, a woman with a huge build and muscles smashing the monsters\' heads with her own hands, swimming in the middle of the blood of monsters. Salma Clayton. The last four-star and a brawler.

Slowly looking at the fight all around, I started integrating my style into the others, filling the blind spots created by momentary situations.

\'This is how I should have fought from the beginning. This is now a team work, not a single player mode anymore.\'

Thinking that, I saw a lot of monsters gathering around the muscled lady Salma and reaching behind her.

"Ho? You are here to help this sister, huh? Thanks."

"No problem."

Saying that I dashed towards the swarm of monsters coming.

\'Sword of Lightning. Thunder Steps.\'

With the sword in my hand, I started dashing all around, twisting my body with sharp turns to make monsters confused.

"I got your back, go."

Leaving my back to the reliable muscle lady behind, I started the massacre.

Slashing.

Stabbing.

And evading.

Repeating these three, I killed the monsters finishing the fight.

"Hufff.... Huff..."

I was standing in the middle of monster carcasses, breathing heavily.

/SLAP/

"You are good."

Smacking my back, the iron lady came beside me, supporting me.

"Thanks."

"I don\'t sense any other monster nearby. It seems those were the last ones."

"I guess so."

"Let\'s return."

"Okay."

Returning to the carriage after the fight, everyone started talking.

"Is it over?"

"For now."

"We need to rest. The Elves don\'t have much mana left; we can\'t keep on going like this."

"Yes. Everyone is too tired."

Looking at the tired faces of others, I raised my voice.

"We can\'t afford to rest. The fight had already taken enough time, and we made a lot of noise too. The monsters will start flocking around soon; we need to move."

Saying that, I signaled the carcasses lying on the ground.

"Other monsters will be drawn to the blood of those dead bodies as well. We should start moving again."

"He is right. We can\'t stop right now. Let\'s hope we don\'t encounter another monster horde."

Just like that, the direction was set, and the convoy started moving again.
