Chapter 19 - Battle with Giganto-Lizard

○○○ Roy Crottos' Point of View

So, my opponent is a giganto-lizard, huh? Interesting, its swordsmanship has been on par with mine until now. But, it's a troublesome foe, as not only is it agile, but it also uses earth and quake attribute evil magic. I'd certainly be killed if I face it alone. But how about now?

“Roy, I have something I want to say before we fight.” (Himika)

“What is it, Himika? Make it short!” (Roy)

“Last night, what were you talking with Sasha about on the balcony?” (Himika)

Oi, why are you bringing that up just before the fight! I broke out into a cold sweat.

“Wh-what do you mean?” (Roy)

“Don't play dumb. I was secretly watching the whole time from behind the wall. I'll punish you later!” (Himika)

“Hey, can we not talk about this right now?” (Roy)

Will I be fighting this guy in the worst of situations?

Oh, is this how you feel right now, Will? Sorry, my bad.

《Hyuuuuuuuu》

Right then, I heard a strange sound overhead. When I looked up, there was a huge rock falling.

《BAAAAAAAAMM》

“UOOOOH, dangerous!” (Roy)

“Are you okay, Roy?” (Himika)

“Are you okay!? My reaction was delayed because you said something unnecessary, you know?” (Roy)

“Roy, you shouldn't make excuses.” (Himika)

Dammmiiiiit! My rhythm is all messed up.

“Himika, use『Magical Power Cladding』.” (Roy)

“I'm fine, I'm already using it.” (Himika)

OI!

Calm down me, you're in a fight right now. If you keep retorting, you'll be killed by the giganto-lizard.

Fuu~, alright, let's go!

Though that bastard was hurt, it had quite a bit of leeway. It was preparing for battle too. I couldn't go as far as to add attributes to it like Will could, but I was putting out『Magical Power Cladding』as much as I could as of now. When I observed the giganto-lizard, it really was cladding itself in evil power, albeit thinly. I see, so that's why the same evil tribes have different strengths. Thanks, Sasha. It looks like I can use that power you taught me.

“KAAAAAAAAAH” 《Thud》

Tsk, it's coming, huh? But, its dash speed feels slow. Is it because I strengthened myself with『Magical Power Cladding』? I can do this!

“ORAAHH!” (Roy)

《Clang》

Our swords clashed. I piled up attack after attack from there, but couldn't give a killing blow. And then, I attacked a tiny gap, slipped into its chest, and sliced the bastard's flank.

“GAAAHHHH”

It looks like this is effective. Again. As I approached some rocks came flying at me, but I avoided them with ease and slipped into its chest again.

“EAT THIIIIIS!” (Roy)

The moment I tried to slice it with my sword again, I lost my balance. What? There shouldn't have been anything that would make me lose my balance. When I looked at my legs, there was an unnatural, large depression in the ground. It did it! Shit!

“GWAAAAHH!”

Damn, when I lost my balance, it mercilessly swung its sword down.

《Claaaang》

“ROYYY!!!” (Himika)

Though it buried me into the ground, I stopped it with my shield somehow. That was close, I only barely stopped it. I rebuilt my posture in a hurry, and fell back for now.

“I'm fine, Himika. I was off guard when I went into its chest, my bad. But leaving that aside, are the preparations for that finished?” (Roy)

“Thank god you're safe. And yes, they're done.” (Himika)

“Alright, please do it.” (Roy)

“Okay,『Gravity』” (Himika)

Space-time magic『Gravity』. I was shocked when I first heard about it yesterday. A magic that weakens the opponent by manipulating gravity? It appeared that after she succeeded in doing the combination magic, when she checked her status, she had newly acquired space-time magic.

The giganto-lizard appeared to have noticed as well. Its movements had clearly gotten slower.

Now, it's time to counterattack!

“UOOOOOH!” (Roy)

“GAAAAAAAHHHH”

“Ha, you're too slow! Ora ora ora oraoraora” (Roy)

I cut the giganto-lizard everywhere; its arms, its legs, its stomach. But when I slashed for the 5th time:

《Claaaaang》

What was that sound? When I looked at my sword, there was a rock between my sword and its flank. When did it……?

“Roy, look out!” (Himika)

Tsk. Its sword came right before my eyes, but I dodged it at the last second. The giganto-lizard's body was covered in small rocks. That bastard, it's cladding itself in evil power with an attribute like Will. Did it increase its defense because it was under Gravity's influence? I'll just raise my attack, then. I gathered magical power on my sword and added the water and quake attributes. This was one of the late-blooming techniques Sasha taught me:『Water-press Blade』. By adding rotation and oscillation to the compressed water, the attack power greatly increased.

Hmm, that bastard, is it planning something? It turned its left arm, equipped with a shield, towards me. As soon as I prepared myself, the shield flew towards me while rotating. I managed to repel it with my sword, but the shield didn't stop rotating, and it attacked us.

“Himika, I'll get the shield. Prepare that magic.” (Roy)

“But, Gravity……” (Himika)

“You can cancel it.” (Roy)

“Buy me some time while I do so, then. If you can, kill it.” (Himika)

“Yeah, got it.” (Roy)

At any rate, when I fought that bastard before, it shouldn't have had any of those hidden tricks. Does that mean the strength of each individual is different? Thank god I learned『Water-press Blade』. If I hadn't, my body would've been cut along with my sword. Oof, it put its shield back on its left arm. Has it realized that Gravity was cancelled!?

“GWAAAAHH!”

It finally got serious, huh? Since it clad itself in evil power with an attribute, it's a lot faster than before. Now we're talking.

“ORAAAAH, Let's gooo!” (Roy)

Our swords clashed, and this time it resulted in a stalemate. It's strong, but its evil power cladding is half-assed. It lets me cut your sword and shield. I used one of my secret skills:『Mind's Eye』. It was a good idea to talk with Sasha on the balcony then. I wanted to become stronger. I spoke my mind to Sasha, “I want the strength to protect Himika”. She heard me out seriously, and taught me『Water-press Blade』and『Mind's Eye』.

『Water-press Blade』appeared to have the power to cut the giganto-lizard in two if it was at its best, but even I hadn't reached that point. I was quite tired from just maintaining it.

『Mind's Eye』was as strong as the unique skills the summoned from another world had. This skill seemed to be something I had lying within me from the beginning. If I trained, I could know the weaknesses of my opponent, be it living creature or inanimate object. However, since I had just awoken it, I could only figure out the weaknesses of weak inanimate objects; I still needed to train more for living creatures. Furthermore, it was difficult to use as I could only use it for a moment as of now. And now is the time to use it.

“That's not good, giganto-lizard, that sword and shield are in the way. HAAAAAA” (Roy)

I cut the giganto-lizard's sword and shield. As expected, it was surprised and a gap was made. The moment I used the skill again, I felt pain in my eyes, but I saw the weakest part of its abdomen.

Ha, did my skill level rise during the battle?! But, for now, this skill is limited to 2 uses per battle.

I pierced that spot with all my power.

“G-gu-gaaahh.”

It crumbled down. I pulled out my sword in a hurry, and got away from there.

“Now, Himika!” (Roy)

“Got it. 『Mithril Assertion Sword』, gooooo!” (Himika)

The magic『Mithril Assertion Sword』was a new magic Himika thought of. It applied Himika's magical power to finely crushed mithril, gave it the lightning and quake attributes, and made the mithril rotate and vibrate to its utmost limits. The mithril given those attributes could have its length adjusted to some extent, and currently it was like a snake. Then, it moved towards the giganto-lizard, and cut through it freely without any resistance. What terrible power.

“We managed to win. I still need to train some more, huh?” (Roy)

“It's not like that, you were amazing. It's so hard for me to control that magic that I become full of gaps. We both need to train some more.” (Himika)

“Definitely. Is that magic from before is different from a combination magic?” (Roy)

“Completely different. That magic is a no attribute magic that only temporarily gives the lightning and quake attributes to a large foundation (mithril); controlling it is difficult, but not as difficult as combination magic. Combination magic doesn't even have a foundation, so you have to imagine and control everything yourself. I wasn't able to do that, so I struggled up until now.” (Himika)

“So that's how it is. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that its strength is amazing.” (Roy)

“Roy, did Sasha teach you those 2 skills?” (Himika)

“Yeah, I talked to her on the balcony yesterday, and we went to the training field so she could teach me them. I mean, I wanted to become stronger and to protect-----.” (Roy)

“What did you say at the end?” (Himika)

It's too embarrassing to say!

“W-well, it looks like Will's finished as well, how about we go join them?” (Roy)

“Fufu, ----thank you.” (Himika)

What did she just say? I couldn't hear her whisper.

“Did you say something?” (Roy)

“No, it's nothing.” (Himika)

Alright, with this, our task is finished. All we have to do now is clean up and leave the boss.

Bahn-san, I'll leave it to you!

If you guys notice anything wrong, please let me know!

See you ….perhaps soon?
