Chapter 87: The Threat that Appeared
Mia and I watched at the pillar of light blankly on the back of the Centaur Knight who is flying towards the north from the city.
The pillar of light disappeared after 10 odd seconds.
After a blink, another blinding pillar of light rose again in the same place.
That is the whirlpool of the flowing water.
At the center, a certain huge thing stood.
It is bigger than the Giant by a size.
His full height is about 6m.
If I was to describe it in a full sentence, it would that it is a four-armed Centaur.
Its face is hidden in the helmet, so I can’t see it clearly.
From the chest to the horseback, it is covered in leather armour.
The 2 arms on the top are carrying bow and arrow, and the lower 2 arms are carrying a sword and shield.
All its 4 arms are carrying weapons.
「Sa..Satan Cross…...」
Mia muttered.
No, please keep your words to yourself.
What will you do if that unknown language translator registered Satan Cross as its name.
Luckily such a thing did not happen.
The soldiers that were carried by the butlers are mumbling「Mekishu Grand」.
「Is it the monster’s name?」
I asked the soldier.
Mia said 「that person stopped the soldier from attacking me」
I see, so he is more reasonable than the others?
「Yes, Great Magic User-sama.」
He is a middle-aged man.
Looking at him carefully, he seemed like an uncle from the gambling den.
But just with golden hair and tea-green eyes.
「The 4-armed giant from the legends, the Evil God’s vanguard, the Mekishu Grand. His bow can slay a dragon, his sword can destroy a city…… I didn’t expect it to really exist.」
Oh, so that’s it…...
Or should I said that it is great that Satan Cross has not become his name. What kind of nonsense is this, being at ease for such a thing?
No, before that, who is the Great Magic User.
Who said it, just who…...
I turned my eyes towards Mia whom I was hugging.
Mia stuck out her tongue and mumbled.
「It is very important to bluff, you know?」
「Just wait and see!」
「For the sake of convincing the people who are in fear, the beginning is very important.」
Hmmm, mmm, once you said it like this, then it is very hard to grumble about it.
Mia has struggled really hard after being slashed by a sword.
And bluffed the others about me being a Great Magic User.
But then again, Mekishu Grand?
This is the first time that a monster appeared with a name that we do not know.
And from the words of the soldiers, it is also a monster from this world’s legend.
Just where did such a thing appear from?
No, I know what is going on vaguely.
Just that I don’t wish to admit it.
Globster.
The Globster that was called by the Hobgoblins at the last moment.
The Globster that caused us to come to this place.
At that moment, what it used was an instant teleportation ability.
Not only that, that thing still have the ability to transport?
I still have a question.
Mekishu Grand is not the only one that appeared.
What happened to the Globster that was caught in the flood?
If that sort of thing continues to appear consecutively, we can only despair.
But even now I have already lost my fighting spirit.
We have barely escaped and wished to put some distance between us just like that.
Hence first we have to decrease our flying height.
And try to make ourselves less obvious.
I ordered the familiar butlers and maids to descend slowly.
We have already flew to outside of the city.
There isn’t any water here, so it is fine to decrease our height, but the main thing is for the convenience of our escape.
Flying magic can make us move at the same speed as birds.
To prevent the people whom we had just saved from dying, we should concentrate on getting further away.
Mekishu Grand began to move towards the east.
Is it because we have decreased our flying height, or it did not even care about us since the beginning?
Or perhaps it is purely trying to resist the flowing waters.
Even if it is a 6m giant, it cannot move easily in such situations.
And are the monsters there still alive?
Or are they all washed away?
The Mekishu Grand did not seemed to care about such small things and began running towards the east.
Towards the mountain.
In the midst, it stabbed its huge sword into the water.
A bright flash appeared.
And a sharp female shriek sounded.
「Probably the Water Elemental is defeated…...」
Mia muttered.
Is it the Water Elemental that is controlling the floods?
Was it discovered by the Mekishu Grand and defeated?
The movements of Mekishu Grand is unstoppable.
It jumped across the city wall, reaching the foot of the mountain.
And stopped.
It drew its bow at the mountain.
Huh what is it aiming at?
Can it see the controller of the Water Elemental?
No, if it is that, then we can’t explain the reason for its movements…...
But if that is true, then this guy’s eyes are really incredible.
With that, if we can’t escape outside of its vision, then there is no other way to escape.
The arrow in Mekishu Grand’s hands began to burn with flames.
What is that.
Is that a magical bow and arrow, or is it the ability of the monster?
The Giant Centaur shot out the huge arrow.
The arrow of flame drew an arc towards the mountain top and entered the forest.
A second later, a huge explosion happened in the depths of the mountain.
The trees are blown away.
A huge giant dust cloud rose.
「Ah…… what is that. Is it a bomb?」
「According to the legend, the hell flames of the Evil Blaze Strike released by Mekishu Grand will scorch everything.」
Evil Blaze Strike?....... By the name alone, it sounds impressive….
Of course it’s with the chunni meaning.
「Ermm, then do you know about his other abilities?」
「Yes yes. Mekishu Grand uses 3 types of magic. The Evil Blaze Strike is as mentioned. The other 2, is Evil Thunder Slash released from the sword, and the Evil Dragon Eye that can see through everything.」
Evil Blaze Strike, Evil Thunder Slash and the Evil Dragon Eye.
The naming sense is really bad but the abilities are even worse…...
Even if we add in the resistance, mmm, only 2 of them can be done…...
No matter what, the Evil Dragon Eye is too dangerous.
So to say, anything that hides, he will be able to see it…...
Mia is also considering about the same problem.
「Just now, I had just learnt 《Greater Invisibility》......」
Mia lowered her head and sulk.
Ah, yes.
That is the strengthened version of 《Invisibility》 in Rank 7 Wind Magic.
A dream-like magic that will not break even with intensive movements.
You can peek as much as you want.
Of course I did not do that.
Mia will not let me do that too.
Then I had considered the strength of having an invisible battle method for a moment.
But that method is easily sealed with the presence of the Evil Dragon Eye.
No, not that way.
I must change my thinking.
「Compared to deciding before moving, it is better to confirm it before deciding what to do.」
「Mmm. I understand, but.」
After the Rank up just now, we did not use Rank 7 Magic before.
Even so, the method to seal our quick attacks was found.
Even Mia is shocked.
「In a normal situation, the new magic learnt will be the Victory Flag for the next battle.」
「But reality will not be that smooth.」
「Damn, unforgivable.」
「Maa, before that, we need to see if he is willing to let us go…...」
At that moment, the Mekishu Grand turned towards our side.
The red glow deep in the helmet stared at me..
A chill ran down my spine.
「Mia, 《Tempest》!」
「Huh? Ah I see.」
Rank 6 Wind Magic《Tempest》 is a magic that uses violent winds to blow away something that moves in a straight line.
The problem is that it is also a storm that can blow away an adult in an instant.
Even so, it is just blowing away only.
Honestly speaking, there is such a magic even at Rank 6…...
「《Tempest》」
The storm rushed towards the direction of Mekishu Grand
The distance is pretty considerable, so it is unable to reach the enemy.
But at least, he will be obstructed by the strong wind during his route here.
Then, the Mekishu Grand released a flame arrow.
The red flare that flew towards me is slightly derailed due to the wind…...
Luckily, the distance between us is great.
A girl with black hair and a spear, Arisu.
A girl with golden hair and a white sword, Tamaki.
「Kazu-chi!」
The 2 of them call out at the same time.
I nodded.
And look towards the faraway Mekishu Grand.
「We can talk later. Now we have to defeat that monster.」
I smiled fearlessly.
「Our full strength has assembled. Time to retaliate.」
