At the place where she pointed a huge curtain of dust could be seen. Alongside the rumbling of the earth, sounds of metal hitting each other could also be heard.
Wait, wait⊠Just how many tens of them are there? ⊠This is bad.
It was a number that was way too dangerous. Even by using Double Blue Gale we wouldnât be able to take down all of them. And if we were to let a lot of them leak out it would turn into a catastrophe.
ăMilly, back off for a bit and leave this to me.ă
ăO-okayâŠă Milly said as she moved back. I then grabbed Ainâs hand.
ăMilly if I mess up Iâm counting on you to follow up. Youâll grab Shirushu and me and teleport out.ă
ăG-got itâŠ!ă
ăAin, turn into a sword.ă
ăOkaaay.ă
With a dazzling light, Ain turned into Divine Sword Ainbelle. I grabbed the sword and took a step forward. The full extent of the pack that Lydia was pulling became visible. Lydia was nimbly dodging the enemy attacks as she came closer to us.
T-this is⊠Thereâs close to 50 of them.
Furthermore, due to Lydiaâs prowess all of the monsters were gathered within Blue Galeâs attack range. I had been the one to tell them to pull the monsters and aim to gather them in one spot. And Lydia did exactly as I had asked. However, the scale of it all was just too massive.
ăHeyy! Iâm baack.ă
Furthermore, she cheerfully waved her hand at us.
Come to think of it she did say she got immersed in pulling them. Iâll have her hold back from now on. In any case I should try to take care of this safely⊠Oh right, I can try and use that.
ăLydia, a huge hole will open up before you so be sure to jump over it.ă
ăHuh? Hmph⊠Okay, got it.ă
I readied Divine Sword Ainbelle and cast Time Square. I then stored Red Ball and Black Ball into the sword. I then cast Time Square once more. While time was stopped I cast Green Ball, Blue Ball and White Ball.
Fivefold Spell Synthesis, Platinum Slash.
While light wrapped the area along with a crackling sound. The swordâs trajectory went forward starting from underfoot and an enormous crevice opened up before me. The creviceâs width was two times that of Lydiaâs height. The bottom couldnât be seen.
Itâs a bit wider than what I wanted but itâs Lydia weâre talking about; she should be able to jump over it.
ăPhewâȘ Zeph-chi, youâre amazing!ă Lydia praised as she raised her speed and easily jumped over the crevice.
However, she couldnât kill her momentum and ended up bumping into me. And just like that I was pinned down.
ăAuch⊠Ah! Iâm sorry. I got too carried awayâŠă
ăItâs fine.ă
ăAhaha, well then I wonder what happened.ă
Lydia stood up and looked back. The sight of the Guardians falling into the crevice entered her eyes.
Okay, everything went according to plan. All thatâs left it to cast spells at the Guardians that fell into the crevice.
ăWeâre taking them down Milly.ă
ăO-okayâŠă
Double Spell Synthesis Double Blue Gale.
Without being able to escape from the crevice the Guardians were swallowed by the water tornado. From the dead Guardians we managed to get gemstones, scrap iron and screws. After casting Double Blue Gale, a couple of times all of the Guardians were wiped out. It was a perfect victory.
I guess we changed the method a bit.
ăOh! I levelled upâȘă
ăSame here.ă
ăMine went up a whopping three levels!!ă
It seemed like everyone had levelled up.
Ah, the sweet exp from killing a huge pack.
While chucking to myself I decided to use Scout Scope on myself.

Iâve grown quite nicely. It was the right choice to come to the North Continent after all. The enemies here are strong, but the EXP we get from them is so high that it canât even be compared to that of the monsters from the East Continent. There arenât a lot of my adventurers my age that are at this level⊠Just as I thought that I remembered that there was one standing right next to me.
And for the record, Millyâs status looked like this.
Milly Reyad

As always she only uses Blue Gale so only her Blue magic is high. Still, her Magic Power is higher than mine. I guess thatâs what they call a natural born genius. But to think that the holder of that genius is Milly⊠Whilst thinking that I unconsciously let out a sigh.
ăW-what is it! Why did you sigh just now?ă
ăItâs nothing.ă
I stroked Millyâs head in order to dodge the question. Anyhow, our job was done so I returned Ain back to her human form. As soon as she turned back she began running around and gathering the gemstones.
ăYEY! FoodâȘ Lydia, thank you!!ă
ăAhaha. No need for thanks.ă
Ain, who had both of her hands full of gemstones, was rubbing herself against Lydia.
It seems like Ainâs impression of Lydia grew better. What a greedy fellow.
ăLydia, there was a bit too much this time. Iâm afraid that we might run into trouble if weâre not able to kill all of them, so could you try and pull less next time?ă
ăAhaha, Iâm sorry Zeph-chi.ă
ăWHAT!! BUT I WANT MORE!!ă said Ain while throwing a tantrum.
And it looked like Lydia wasnât that satisfied as well.
It canât be that sheâs planning on pulling the same amount again, right?
ăLydia I want to say thatâŠă
ăI knooow! Hold back next time, right?ă
ăThatâs fine then.ă
It seemed like Lydia had taken my warning to heart so each time she showed up after that, she only brought close to ten enemies. Ain was sulking at first, but after picking up the gemstones that dropped after each pull, her mood lightened up. Lydia and Claude continued their job as the train and constantly brought in packs of monsters, which were then wiped out with the Double Blue Gale from me and Milly.
ăLetâs wrap this up.ă
ăOkay.ă
It was already starting to grow dark. Due to hunting down Guardians the whole day each of our bags were filled to the brim with items. And even though their effect was useless, we had also obtained two Guardian Cards.
If we were to sell all of this, weâll probably earn about 300,000 rupi. On top of that everyoneâs levels went up. It was a good hunt.
ăMy level went upâȘă
ăI think I also levelled up around six times.ă
It seemed like Shirushu, who had the lowest level among us, had also levelled up quite a bit. And similarly to Milly I had managed to level up as well.
