Chapter 468: That Bad Luck Is Contagious.
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Ugh!? What on earth!?Despite being thrown by the sudden violent impact and thunderous noise, Reiholdt immediately awakened his consciousness and assumed a vigilant stance. Then, from beyond the rising dust, an impossible yet familiar figure appeared.
About five meters in total length. A horses lower body with a human upper body, a snakes tail, something like a turtles shell on its back, and a lions face A Night Walker with such distinctive features was something that Reiholdt, who as a hero had more combat experience with Night Walkers than anyone, had encountered only once before.
It cant be!?
Oww What the hell is this?
Ugh, what happened?
Both of you, be careful! Its a Night Walker!
Reiholdt shouted a warning to his companions who were crawling out of the rubble like himself. At the same time, he reached for the equipment lying nearby, gave up on the armor but fastened the sword to his waist, and then began searching inside his backpack.
Whoa!? Whats this huge thing!?
A composite type and even a general-class!? But, this is
This is bad, Erun. This probably regenerated from the fragment I was carrying.
What!? Thats impossible!
Reiholdt frowned as he confirmed that it wasnt there as expected, but Erun strongly denied it.
The reason Reiholdt was carrying a fragment of a Night Walker was to use the power of fragments attracting each other and trying to regenerate as a detector to locate the remnant Night Walkers.
This meant he was carrying around a fragment that maintained the ability to regenerate, but of course, Reiholdt and his companions, understanding this danger, had taken ample safety precautions or more accurately, they carried the fragment precisely because they were certain it would absolutely not regenerate.
Night Walker regeneration requires power commensurate with its abilities! Now that its been over half a year since the Demon King was defeated, there shouldnt be enough of the Demon Kings power left anywhere in the world to regenerate a general-class!
Yes, with the Demon King dead and the supply of his power cut off, the more powerful Night Walkers were becoming unable to maintain their existence. For a general-class that was once the Demon Kings close aide, the power required for regeneration was enormous. Even if they gathered the Demon Kings remnants from all over the world, it shouldnt have been nearly enough. Unless
Unless the Demon King had been staying here until just recently its absolutely impossible!
What are you talking about, Erun! Whatever the logic, this thing has revived, hasnt it! Shouldnt we defeat it first!
Thats why Barugo is an idiot! Investigating the cause of this regeneration should take priority over any other issue
Ouch ouch What on earth Eek!?
At that moment, Village Chief Rohas crawled out from the depths of the rubble. His wife Anna was beside him, but upon seeing the imposing figure of the Night Walker, they both screamed loudly and embraced each other.
Village Chief and his wife! Im glad youre safe.
Y-Yuusha-sama!? What on earth is
Ill explain later, I promise. For now, its more important to evacuate the villagers to a distant location as quickly as possible. This place will become a battlefield.
No way!? You
I understand. We wish you good fortune in battle, Yuusha-sama! Come on, Anna. Lets split up and alert the villagers.
Y-Yes
Rohas, having learned from the previous attack, left the scene running with his anxious-looking wife without asking any unnecessary questions. After sending a brief glance full of apology at their retreating figures, Reiholdt once again raised his sword towards the Night Walker.
Oooooo
Still, why isnt it moving? Is it looking for something?
I dont know. One possibility is that it used up all the Demon Kings power left in this area just to regenerate, and now it cant move
Ha! If the enemy isnt moving, shouldnt we just defeat it now?
Hmm
At his companions words, Reiholdt glared at the Night Walker, which was slowly moving its face as if looking around in the distance, while pondering.
(If its going to remain motionless, waiting for it to self-destruct might minimize damage more than unnecessarily provoking it to rampage. But since we dont know why it regenerated in the first place, we cant judge if the Demon Kings power has really been exhausted. So)
Alright, lets attack. Erun, set up a defensive barrier to minimize damage to the surroundings. Barugo, follow my lead!?
OoooOOOO!
Tch, break times over, huh!
With a howl-like voice, the giant Night Walker began to move. Countless metal spears grew from the shell on its back, and they were all launched into the air at once.
This is bad! Both of you, get behind me!
The silver spears changed direction in mid-air and rained down on Reiholdt and his companions with tremendous force. Barugo blocked them by holding his giant axe sideways, but with each heavy clang, Barugos entire body screamed.
This is tough!? I cant hold out!
Thats enough! [Prismic Shield]!
Protected by Barugo, Erun completed his magic, activating what was prepared to contain the enemy to protect themselves instead. However, even the wall of light enveloping the three wasnt completely invincible, and when spears hit the same plane two or three times, the attacks seemed about to penetrate, but
Ah, thats enough!
Barugo grinned despite being covered in shallow wounds and bleeding, while Erun bravely held his staff despite feeling slightly dizzy from the rapid magic consumption. Standing in front of these two was Hero Reiholdt, who had charged his sword with power during the time they bought him. His downward strike became a blade of light that cut through the darkness, deeply carving into the body of the giant Night Walker.
Now we counterattack. Both of you, lets go without letting our guard down!
Yeah!
Leave it to me!
FUOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
An unexpected rematch with an enemy they had once fought a deadly battle against and barely defeated. The battle of Hero Reiholdt and his companions began here Meanwhile, at that time
Whats the matter, Village Chief? At this time of night
Oh, Magna! Im glad youre awake!
Magna, who had been woken from a light sleep by the sound of someone frantically knocking on the door, opened the house door with a slightly irritated look. Village Chief Rohas spoke to him in a panicked voice.
I wasnt really awake, I just couldnt fall asleep So, what is it?
Its terrible! A Night Walker has appeared at my house!
What!?
At these words, Magnas sleepy head instantly awakened. Magna would never forget the time when they were attacked by Night Walkers before.
W-Why is there a Night Walker at the Village Chiefs house!?
I dont know the details either. But right now, the hero is fighting the Night Walker. So Im going around the houses like this, calling for everyone to evacuate. Well, I think this area should be safe, but
I see. Indeed, this area is quite far from the center.
Naturally, farming requires a large area of land, so Magnas house, being a farming family for generations, was on the outskirts of the village. While this sometimes feels inconvenient, in this case, it could be considered fortunate.
Well then, I need to go around to the other houses. Can you relay this to Rex-san and Ruruka-chan, Magna?
Understood. Take care, Village Chief.
After watching Rohass back as he left at a trot, Magna woke up his sleeping father and sister and explained the situation. After that, thy obviously couldnt go back to sleep, so the three of them quietly waited together under the light of a small lamp for the threat to pass but
Thud!
Eek!? W-What was that!?
Ill go check. Dad, take care of Ruruka.
Got it, be careful.
Leaving his sister to his father, Magna quietly opened the house door. There, he saw a faintly glowing giant metal spear deeply embedded in the ground.
