Chapter 3.07

Part 7

The people of the town raised screams and were running away.

There were also guards that noticed the uproar and headed over, but the opponent was Gregor who was able to pulverize the tenacious Summoned Beast with one attack. They just meaninglessly increased the number of victims.

The presence of people disappeared from the front of the inn.

There was only Celes who had frozen up making her unable to even run away and Rem who, although protected Celes at her back, had no way of opposing the enemy.

The giant that possessed hard scales on its lizard headGregor was getting closer.

Among all of the Warrior types, he was a Fistfighter type that did not use weapons and fought with his fists.

Those fists had pulverized even the strongest Summoned Beast that Rem could call upon with one attack.

I cant win!!

There was a person that was running to the main street that was becoming devoid of the presence of people.

KuhI made it in time!

She turned to look at the footsteps.

She saw golden armor. She recognized that appearance that was way too gaudy.

That person only had one tuft long bangs combed up.

Are you alright, Rem-chan? Also, Celes-sama?

E, Emil!?

The Adventurer Warrior Emil stood in front of Gregor in order to protect Rem and Celes.

Good griefJust when I heard the uproar and came running to check it outI dont know how it got in, but to think that a Demonic Being would be rampaging within the town. And above all! To think it would be aiming for women, I cant forgive that!

It was an unusually theatrical and pompous way of speaking.

At the back, shouts of joy were raised.

The ones that came running together with him were the other Adventurers.

Emil was the strongest Warrior in the Adventurers Guild.

He was both popular and had popularity.

Gregor gripped his fist.

Who the hell are ya!?

Emil prepared his long sword in front of his body.

My name is Emil Byushelbeljel! I am the Guilds number one Herculean Warrior and an ally of all women!

Ya sure are interestin, Human! Show that ya can make this Gregor-sama enjoy himself!

Though, for you, it probably wont be an enjoyable outcome!

Emil swung his sword.

A phosphorescence of magic power surged from the blade.

He had received the assistance of magic power bestowal on his sword from this Adventurer comrades.

Furthermore, piling up Martial Arts, an intense attack had struck.

It hit the back of Gregors neck.

A hard sound that one wouldnt think would come from a creature that was just killed had resounded. Emil wasnt able to break the obsidian-like scales.

Even so, Gregor stepped back a couple of steps and fell to a knee.

Oi oi oi oii? Despite bein a Human, yer pretty strong, aint cha!

Theres still more to come! This isnt all that Ive got!

Emil attacked while pursuing him. He unleashed slashes that eyes couldnt keep up with continuously. Was that also one of the Martial Arts?

Gregor covered his head with both arms.

Every time the sword hit his arms, a high-pitched sound resounded, as if he were slashing at iron or rock.

And then, it was only a little bit but black fragments flew about.

If it werent enhanced with magic, although it is my sword, it might have broken! However, my sword right now, is invincible!!

Guh, kuh!?

It was hard to tell if it was effective or not but

Emil was pressuring him!

Gregor was on the defensive.

Annoyin, annoyin, this is

tha best!

HA! Do you like one-sidedly receiving attacks!? In that case, Ill let you eat even more slashes! Until all of those scales youre so proud of disappear!

KukukuWhat I likeis makin Humans that are brimmin with confidence like you fall into despair. That face at that moment, I just cant get enough of it!

Gregor muttered something.

A radiance of magical power spread out.

Emil who was repeatedly attacking was blown away.

Tumbling on top of the stone paving, and caught by the Adventurers that were surrounding them, he finally stopped.

Gregor puffed out his chest looking self-important and stood up.

For Rem, all she knew was that he had used magic.

Moreover, it wasnt Summoning magic, but Chemical Elemental magic like Diablo used?

While being supported by those around him, Emil stood up.

His Magician comrades were chanting Healing magic. That kind of support was to somehow let him return to the fight.

KuhYou, just now, what did you do!?

It was magic, Human! Ya know, this Gregor-sama is tha number one Magician in tha Man-Eatin Forest!

What was that!?

So his way of fighting like a Fistfighter was all a fake.

Gregor spread open his right hand.

In that hand, phosphorescence of magic power congregated.

Is that alright? If yer not gonna come, youll one-sidedly be my magics prey!

Damn it! Sword Smite!!

Spurring on his damaged body, Emil used a Martial Art.

Getting close in an instant, he unleashed a horizontal slash.

However, Gregors left arm easily stopped the blow.

GufufuEven as a Fistfighter, Im stronger that you Humans!

As if Id lose!!

Gregors magic was completed faster than Emils pursuit.

His magic was invoked simultaneously with his right fists strike.

Oraa! Dark Bullet!!

Relentlessly, a black light bullet was shot at Emil who had barely stopped Gregors fist with his sword.

Making a thick sound, a hole opened up on the left shoulder of Emils armor. Fresh blood fluttered about.

Guhaah!?

Oraa! Next is the right arm!!

Simultaneous with a kick, magic was once again fired.

The armor was crushed, and from that gap, bright red blood spurt out.

The Adventurers in the surroundings that saw that raised screams.

It wasnt that they were being cruel. Its just that they had no way of attacking the enemy that not even Emils attack could make a telling blow on.

At the most, they could nothing but Healing magic and Support magic from a distance.

If they were to get closer, they would instead be getting in the way. Even if they were bravely volunteer themselves, Emil had a personality where he would defend against attacks that went towards his comrades.

Rem shouted.

Emil, please run away! Youre too poorly matched against him!

However, he stood up even while his legs were shaking.

He expressed his usual pompous-like smile.

Run away? This great me leaving behind a woman? Oi oi, please dont go saying such stupid things, Rem-chan.

Emil combed up his only one tuft long bangs.

Doing something like turning my back on an enemy in front of a woman is something I will never do! My name is Emil Byushelbeljel! Although Im the Guilds number one Herculean WarriorI am the guardian of all women!

Gregor narrowed his eyes.

Now~ then, I guess its about time I get serious! When it looks theyre gonna lose, Humans will abandon their comrades and run away, right?

His reptilian eyes turned towards Rem and Celes.

Right now, if they were to run

Most likely, Gregor would ignore Emil and start shooting magic at them.

From the beginning, if the two of them looked like they were going to escape, he was able to fire powerful magic at them at any time.

We were being played with!?

Emil shouted, raised his sword overhead with his bloodstained hands, and charged in.

With a Fistfighter-like stance, Gregor carried a light of magic power in those fists.

Its about time, that ya die, Human! Dark Press!!

The powerful magic crushed Emils body.

But even so, he did not step back.

He absolutely did not step back.
