Chapter 401 – The Battle of Elkay
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Everyone inside the barrier was running around wondering what was happening.
「Is there a battle going on?」
「If something bad is going on people can run away to Elkay, but…」
「Femm, please…」
「Wuff.」
Femm ran off towards Tom’s house to check.
On the way there were a few clay creatures and stone statues that we fought as we went along.
Only a few clay creatures, but more stone statues.
There were some buildings destroyed, but Tom’s house was still untouched.
We opened the door and no one was inside.
「There’s a note here. They’ve gone to Mulg.」
Millia had left the note in an easy to find place.
「Well, that’s a relief.」
They must have fled in all this chaos.
「Tom’s house and the Wolf Wholesaler haven’t been touched at all.」
「It’s because of Vi-Vi’s magical barriers.」
So we continued trying to fight off the monsters and ran towards that strange pyramid.
「A, Al! We waited for you!」
「We can’t defeat all these things! Vi-Vi took care of a lot of them but they’re still coming!」
Seems like Yureena and Cruz took care of a lot of the monsters that raided the town.
Vi-Vi rode on top of Moofy and used magic circles to lock up all the fallen clay and stone monsters.
There were ten or more of the stone monsters shut up into each one of her magical circles and five magical circles.
「50 of those things!? Vi-Vi’s quite the warrior.」
「And I also used magic as well! Also, new ones kept coming over and over and we couldn’t last that long against them.」
She had sweat beading on her forehead, and she kept putting up magical circles.
The stone statues were running out of stone to reform into new statues so what Vi-Vi was doing worked.
Bleda, Jearl, Leo, and Leah were fighting as well.
「Hm, still more stone statues than clay things.」
『Don’t take time counting them! We don’t have time!』
Femm said, slamming a stone statue to the ground with its claws.
「Wait, are these things trashing stone houses so they can make more warriors?」
「And the stones on the street too!」
「I guess that’s where they’re coming from…」
The reason that many buildings were destroyed was to replenish the numbers of stone statues.
Because many of them were trapped in magical circles, they couldn’t get any more resources, which is why there were most stone statues.
If the whole of Elkay wasn’t surrounded by a barrier, then there’d be more clay things too.
「Cruz, Yureena, thanks for taking care of this.」
「Yup, we definitely did.」
Cruz said with a happy reply as she cut up another statue into dust.
I placed the cage with the demon in it near Cruz.
「Take care of this. There’s a demon inside.」
「Got it!」
「We need to take care of the rest quickly.」
Yureena was punching and slamming her staff into the stone statues around her.
Cruz and Yureena formed a defensive formation to protect me.
Instead of going out to find and attack new statues, they were probably more intent on preventing new damage to the town.
「We can’t hold out a lot longer like this.」「Moo moo!」
Moofy said as she crushed a statue beneath her hooves.
「I know, just give me a second. I have a plan.」
「What is it?」
「Same as before. Find the one controlling these statues.」
I answered Luka’s question and Cruz shouted to me, 「Seems like there’s something weird over there…we should check it out!」
「Show me, Cruz!」
「Sure!」「PiggGi」
Chel was on top of Cruz’ head.
「Are you coming too, Chel?」
『Yeah, weird!』
Seems that Chel might have been the one that felt it.
「Then I’ll take care of the fight here for Cruz!」
「Thanks, cut them all up for us!」
「Okay!」
Luka swung her sword around and destroyed the 10 foot statues around her, some with her fist.
She also cut them down with her excellent sword swinging.
「Over here, Al!」「PIggI」
Femm ran after Cruz and Chel.
I used my senses to find the flow of magic around me.
You’d need a lot of magic to resurrect a statue that Luka had cut down, and that would make it hard to control as well.
As a result, the magic flow gets stronger, and you use up more of it.
Since the enemy was using concealment magic, it was hard to find where they were hiding.
However, since Cruz showed me the direction, it became easier to read the magic flow.
After a little more of a run, Cruz stopped.
「I think it’s around here.」
Seems that the Holy Hero Cruz could feel the source herself.
「Leave it to me!」「Wuff!」「PiggI!」
I said along with Femm’s bark. Femm was probably wanting to lead the fight.
「GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」「PIGGGGIIIIIIIIII!」
Femm and Chel both roared as loud as they could in one direction.
We saw 10 zombified ogres blown into pieces.
「Whoa! I knew something strange was there, but didn’t know there was any ogres!」
If they could fool Cruz, then they had excellent concealment powers.
But with the magical king Femm and the Death Lord Chel’s powers, the small group of ogres were blown away.
「How about stopping all this hiding and coming out to face us?! Or do you think you can escape?」
「You foolish mortals certainly did quite a job…」
A man answered my challenge by saying.
