SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER 70

Seventieth Episode~ Ambush・Raid
“Uaa-”
“-Enemy raid!”
What? Enemy?
Someone rides up on a horse before being struck by a large black arrow and falling .
Arrows, fire arrows, and magic fire balls come flying .
They are outside the range of presence detection .
The surprise attack is coming from the left .
-Shit, filled with anger, I look for the source of the hail of arrows .
There is a group in dark brown .
There is a magic user casting fire balls and a light soldier using a bow .
I see someone walking in a strange enormous armor .
Is that iron helmet a mask? A little taller than three meters?
They’re taking a stance, drawing their longbow with a thick arm .
Perhaps, is that a magic wogan doll?
I saw soldiers of iron during the Evil Dragon King subjugation .
It seems this is the one firing the thick black arrows .
With slow movements, the iron creature shoots another arrow .
Again, one of the adventurers is pierced by iron .
The iron creature appears slow, but its accuracy is unquestioned .
The members of 【Twilight Road】 were acting as vanguard, so the giant arrows, regular arrows, and fireballs removed adventurers from their horses, causing them to escape in every which direction .
After the horses escape, only the dead adventurers remain on the ground .
The body of Kens, the leader of Twilight Road is among them .
A thick iron arrow is embedded in his chest .
He died the moment his heart was pierced .
The thick iron arrows also struck the wagons, breaking off the wheels .
Its frame is tilted, resting on the road . The goods being transported are spilled over the ground .
The horses that were harnessed to the wagons have away as well .
The thick iron arrows have stopped flying, but the regular arrows and fireballs are still falling .
A fireball directly hits the covered wagon the merchant was riding in .
The coachman is killed by a stray arrow .
Without its driver, the covered wagon crashes into the rocks and goes up in flames .
Arrows hit the harnessed horses so go into a panic and break free of their restraints, running away .
The caravan stops moving .
This surprise attack was planned like they knew the convoy would pass through here .
Angry voices rise from the adventurers .
However, only one of the covered wagons hasn’t been attacked .
There, the adventurers from 【Fadyke’s Fang】 are acting as middle guard, defending .
They seem to have blocked the big iron soldier’s thick arrows .
Several people are running away, eluding the fireballs .
N, what? Those two? The two adventurers in dark brown robes are doing something else . They dismount their magic beasts, draw knives, and attack the members of Fadyke’s Fang from behind .
Seriously- we’re being betrayed .
That moment, I remember what happened yesterday .
That adventurer woman sent a communication with her invisible hawk .
However, the female adventurer removes a bastard sword from her back and moves to protect the last wagon .
The red-head isn’t betraying us? She’s not the enemy right now .
The sword she is using resembles a bastard sword .
It’s a one handed sword like Bitou .
While I look at Fran the two traitors in dark brown respond with throwing their knives, they’re fast, two more people are killed .
Their skill with the sword is as deadly as their ability with knives .
They definitely have the throwing skill .
Their movements are fast and their aim accurate .
A thrown knife lands between the brows of an adventurer using a bow .
Without their bow user, 【Fadyke’s Fang】 can’t counterattack, so they can only be cut down one sided .
However, I’ll make them regret this . (TL: Booyah . )
I aim for the person with the long sword .
I extend my right hand, and after the magic halberd appears as I swing with the crimson ax blade, then I slap Popobumu and instantly arrive at the dark brown cloaked man .
At the same time, the crimson ax blade hits a boulder sticking out of the ground, sparks scatter- a trail follows like a firework .
The man in the dark brown robe turns around when I arrive, but it’s too late .
The flaming crimson blade severs the man’s head .
The severed head flips through the air .
The dark brown hood is stained with blood, the body collapses like a puppet with its strings cut .
“Na- Rocha, shit!”
Angry with me for killing their companion, they begin shouting .
-Rocha .
It seems they didn’t give false names .
The screaming man removes his hood exposing his face .
He is fair-haired and blue eyed, a handsome man .
I glare at him .
Such a gaze is ignored . Make Popobumu detour around .
-I check my surroundings .
The people launching the surprise attack are on the right side as well as the left .
On the other hand, the surviving adventurers have gathered around the covered wagon, creating a barricade .
I should return and see how things are going .
-I sent Popobumu to the wagon .
After leaving the covered wagon, the surviving adventurers have understood what is happening .
Fran is leading several adventurers with good builds .
They are protecting the members around the carriage .
“Someone betrayed us . This attack was planned . ”
“Shit, what luck . N…we’re surrounded, oi, is that a Wogan?”
“It is . …This is the worst case scenario . For so many thieves to appear…”
I see the group is releasing attacks from the wagon’s shadow .
The magic Wogan doll and dozen of people dressed in dark brown robes approach .
We’re completely surrounded .
As I look at enemies, I find the person who glared at me earlier .
Ash blue eyes . The traitor has rejoined his group .
However, fire balls and thick iron arrows have stopped .
The covered wagon has been left intentionally .
Now then, seeing as it can’t be helped, let’s hear what they have to say .
“You people, you okay?”
“Ah, the rear guard is fine . However, the wagons are destroyed, this is the only one left . ”
“Adventurers, help us…”
Then, Taijiki appears from in the covered wagon .
His expression is haggard .
It seems he’s alive .
“You’re alive . Leave it to us, we won’t surrender to thieves . The members of 【Fist of God】 are all resolute . Na, you-”
“That’s right . ” “As expected of Gomez . ” “We’ll defend to our death . ”
Including the leader, there are three members in 【Fist of God】 who can use magic .
“You can smile under these circumstances? I admire your enthusiasm, but do you have countermeasures?”
Fran has taken a defensive posture, speaking caustic words with lowered eyebrows . Still, 【Fist of God’s】 leader doesn’t look upset and answers seriously .
“Sheila, can you spread the defense wall immediately?”
“Yeah . I can set it up . ”
“Captain, what about me?”
“Gio, stay by Sheila’s side . -Fran, aren’t you a B rank adventurer? Sheila will create a defensive magic circle, until then I’ll fight-”
Sheila’s magic chant cuts him off .
“-The magic lasts five minutes . The time shortens when attacks are received . ”
“That’s right . Do you have some kind of trump?”
“Iya, I don’t have an area attack skill, but I’m confident in my ability with this long sword . If it’s one on one, I won’t be defeated . ”
He says to Fran with a hint of confidence .
“Is that so, the answer is natural for a B rank . Don’t I have confidence too? However, we’re outnumbered . ”
After Fran talks to Gomez, she nods her head and turns her gaze to me .
-Fran?
Her freckled face squints a little, she’s a beautiful woman .
She says she is confident in her ability with the bastard sword and her left arm .
On her left hand is a red leather glove with a button, her arm is covered in white gauze from her wrist to her shoulder .
Does this have something to do with a skill?
It may be related to her handling the invisible hawk .
However, the transparent bird left and still has yet to return .
Fran looks at me too .
Our eyes meet silently, then I turn to look at Gomez .
Because of the protection of Gomez’s magic user, Rollo and I should be able to move on our own .
Ma, I don’t know if these guys would survive, but I’ll give my opinion .
“I have a plan . Plan B . ”
“Plan B? N, what kind of plan? I think…you . ”
“C rank, Shuya . ”
“Is that so, you can use B rank Fran? So? What is it?”
I meant something different, but it’s fine .
“Iya, Rollo and I will attack . At that time, you maintain the battle formation, your magic user-san can set up the defense circle . Can the barrier be maintained until my black cat and I break the encirclement?”
“Are you an idiot?”
“Iya, I’m serious? I’ll do it regardless of what you say . ”
“-N, wait, I’ll take part in the plan . ”
Fran seems to agree with my plan B .
“Oi, oi, you agree with this guy’s idiotic plan B?”
Gomez half laughs as if saying a joke .
“That’s-”
When Fran speaks, a thick iron arrow pierces the covered wagon .
“You’re surrounded, surrender peacefully!”
A thieve with a deep voice speaks .
“-Is that so? Fran agrees with me . What about you?”
“Ku…”
Gomez looks at the members of his clan .
Everyone trusts Gomez, they wait for his command .
“Fine- please, take care of it . ”
Appearing determined, Gomez replies .
Yosh, we’ll be doing some work .
-I look in Rollo’s direction .
“Nya . ”
Rollo turns her crimson eyes to me . She’s sitting on the back of Popobumu’s head, but she appears ready to go .
“Well then, Fran and Gomez, thank you . ”
Saying so, I guide Popobumu and charge to the left .
There are many enemies on the left .
With Burdock in my right hand, I urge Popobumu to go faster .
“Rollo, can you hold of the big iron soldier?”
“N, Nyao . ”
“It’s slow so its legs should be its weak point, I’ll leave it to you-”
While saying so, I fix Burdock to the right .
The crimson spear head pierces the chest of a dark brown robe in front of me .
The crimson spear goes straight through .
With the corpse stuck to the spear head, without slowing down, I continue to charge into the enemies .
-Rollo jumps off .
She runs while her form changes, and like I said, ignores the small fires, charging for the magic wogan doll .
Seeing Rollodinu in the corner of my sight, I extend my left hand and eject .
The range and speed of the skill have become comparable to a bullet .
-Buzzing as it flies, the chain creeps across the ground .
The chain pierces the foot of a bow man and wraps around his leg like a snake .
I lift the living bow soldier and slam him into another bowman .
Then, using the impact, I let the chain entwine the other bow man .
-Thus is the birth of a meat wall .
Living flesh hammer, just kidding .
Once room has been created, the warrior in dark brown cloak shout and approach . Good force . However-
I throw the slightly burnt corpse attached to the halberd at the charging men .
The corpse and halberd collide with them . Somersaulting down, I move away from Popobumu’s stomping feet .
Even as I hear something squish- I jump .
Popobumu charges away from the people .
An assassin type soldier tries to take advantage of the opening after I land, approaching with a dagger in each hand he tries to stab me in the back .
-The daggers glimmer .
Back stab? However, I activate a certain skill .
The next moment, the daggers fall from the man’s hands, and he is blown away .
I made a fist with the .
The assassin’s face is caved in .
I pick up the dead man with my distorted mana hand .
I make the corpse float in the air behind me . (TL: Shit, Shuya . )
Now, I have two meat walls .
Next, a magic user sees me and tries to launch fireballs . GOOOOOO, it approaches loudly .
Unconcerned, I respond-
I move the chain so the fireball collides with the meat wall .
The fireball extinguishes . The man hit by the fireball is slightly charred, his leg looks like it is about to come off, so I remove chain entwined around it .
This magician?
I glare at the magic user who threw the fire ball .
Holding a staff . -I aim for the magic user .
Using fighting moji enhanced legs, jump, hop, step .
Firing into the ground midway, I move fast .
That moment- I go straight to the magic user .
I use the momentum from charging at him . Slashing down with the magic spear, I bisect the magic user’s head .
However, unusual- the magic user’s response .
Using his staff, he tries to block the crimson ax blade .
However, the moment they meet, the staff is sliced in half and set aflame then the magic user’s head is bisected .
The crimson blade sinks into the magic user’s head, sizzling sounds are heard, and the smell of burnt flesh wafts from the wound .
The smell endures .
I kick the corpse and remove my halberd, then spin the magic spear .
-An arrow comes flying .
It lands with a dull thump .
-The arrows hit the two meat walls behind me .
One of the two meat walls is held in the air with so without magic observing eyes the opponent doesn’t understand what is happening .
The face of the man who fired the arrow is filled with astonishment .
It’s only natural .
I have no intention of the letting the bowman fire another arrow .
I use fighting moji enhanced legs again, closing the space with the Bowman .
Without slowing down, I the magic spear-
while twisting, the piercing skill .
The spear head and adjacent ax blade pierce forward, twisting .
My opponent meets a miserable end .
The crimson ax blade tears the wound in a circle . A big circular flaming wound is created .
The leather armor quickly peels away leaving behind a burning wound shaped like a crescent moon .
The Bowman’s eyes open wide as he looks down at the fatal wound .
“…”
At a loss for words, he says nothing .
He simply falls forward .
Now, I’ve finished killing the enemies around me .
I don’t see any near bye enemies or detect any presences .
There’s more space to work now, so I run after Rollo .
She seems to be facing off with the Wogan doll properly .
The feelers are entangled around its legs, making the gigantic figure fall over .
Dragging like that…she approaches .
Why is Rollo dragging such a heavy object to me?
Moving the iron creature side to side, its live a toy being pulled by a string…
Dust is being kicked up .
I can hear the screams of the dark brown thieves .
Several people around the iron warrior have collapsed, dead .
Ah~, the enemy’s final pitiful moments .
“Nya, nyah . ”
After all, Rollo calls out while she drags the magic Wogan doll .
She caught her prey, so she wants to show off . (TL: I love Rollo . )
“I troubled you . Rollo, you can do what you like now . ”
The magic wogan doll is currently a broken down mess .
Oops, it’s still moving .
Its surface is deformed like it’s been smashed into trees, its form is like a bloody iron man .
Ma, I’ll deliver the final blow .
I aim at the dented metal head .
Dropping the crimson ax blade down, I destroy it .
A silvery black fluid flows out of the head .
So, I try to look at Rollo, but she’s already run off in search of new prey .
She’s switched over to a chasing game now .
The dark brown cloaks have all turned away and are fleeing, one by one they give a bone sword in the back .
That…
One of the people in a dark brown cloak doesn’t flee but turns around to face Rollodinu .
There is only one thieve remaining .
Alone? Isn’t he brave?
They throw off their hood . Eh? They’re a woman?
“Ahhhhh, Totto-”
Totto? The hell is Totto?
