Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN) - Volume 6 - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: 31

6-31 . The Girls' Battles (4)

There's no end to this .

I probably have defeated dozens of zombies already . Even though I could defeat many with just a swing of my spear, their number is beyond expectation .

We've reached the place where I can see the city's gate after some struggling, but there are still more than 100 zombies infesting the area until the gate . It's easy to deal with goblins or thieves zombies, but it's a hard fight against bear or other monsters zombies that sometimes get mixed in .

On top of that, there's even such thing!

The multi-headed snakes that appears from behind the zombies, it's most likely not just big . It spits out fireball as if a dragon .

Thanks to Mia's magic, we're narrowly saved, but it's probably not something that could be defended for many times . I have no choice but to make the first move and take care of it quickly . For that to happen, I have to cut the distance to the multi-headed snake .

"Mia, the road!"

Mia should understand that . Mia uses the magic that she has used to push aside the soldiers earlier to push the zombies away and make a path among the zombies .

I load every ounce of the small magic power I have into the magic spear--

◇Lulu◇

I could hear noises from the direction of Muno city .

I wonder if Liza-san and the others are alright?

We've gathered 100 pebbles just a bit ago . No, it's nearly 200 . Everyone seems to have been really eager for the risotto .

Right now I'm learning cuisines of this region from the housewives who have helped me . I will surprise master later .

"Was it okay to have offered so much food for us?"

"There is no problem . "

When I was tasting the finished food, the tall and thin village chief came . Nana-san is supporting me . I'm really still not good with other guys beside master .

"Chief!　It's terrible, refuges are rushing here from Muno city . "

"What'd you say!"

"For now they've stopped in front of the village, but there are more than 100 people . "

It seems that Arisa's worry has become real .

What should I do .

◇Knight◇

The scalekin nee-san begins her assault followed by red afterglow .

What great courage .

"Oy, let's widen the path the elf lady has opened . "

"Righto . "

"Vice-captain, go assist nee-san . "

At any rate, that's the magic that we have got struck by, but I have no idea that you could use water magic like that . Some secret arts of elves huh .

"Donovan, there might be other hydra around, search for it with magic . "

"Yes, captain . "

Hopefully, it's just an unfounded fear .

◇Liza◇

I pierced the body of the multi-headed snake with an attack that used my whole body accompanied with roars .

I had the spiral spear attack that master had demonstrated to me once in mind while performing the attack, but as expected, I couldn't do it overnight .

Even so, looks like I've succeeded in neutralizing one of the multi-headed snake's head .

However, I cannot be discouraged .

My magic power has been depleted, my forged body body is the only thing remaining .

Pierce .

Parry .

When I see a chance, I deliver a heavy blow .

I was dubious since the attack from the snake was few, but before I knew it, a soldier wielding two sword was handling two of the snake's heads .

Some rotten goblins jumps out from under the flank of the multi-headed snake, but stones that flies from behind hit their heads, crushing it . Seems that Tama is also covering me firmly .

The two-swords soldier is quite skillful for a human .

Of course, he's still far away compared to master, but he wields those swords like he's dancing .

"Liza, here . "

Mia who gets down from the horse passes me a bottle of potion . I still have no use for health recovery potion though?

"Magic power recovery . "

I see .

I gulp down the bottle, and swallow the slightly sweet liquid . Is this how it feels when you recover your magic power . It feels a bit different from when you recover your health .

With my magic spear, I parry the multi-headed snake that has attacked after seeing the chance . One of my arm feels slightly hot sensation .

Looks like Mia casts balloon magic from my side . Green mist bursts out from below of the multi-headed snake's abdomen, toppling it down . It seemed that she made use of the multi-headed snake's blood that was on the ground .

Magic blade--wrapping the magic spear with red light .

While shouting with spirit, I drive the magic spear to the weak spot of the multi-headed snake that Mia has exposed, its stomach .

That big body wriggles for several times, and then it stops moving . This powerful enemy was not defeated with my power alone . Friends' power are great aren't they .

◇Mia◇

As expected of Liza nano . Liza is great right .

She could defeat such big multi-headed snake .

It's alright even without Satou . It's alright .

Yes, I was thinking such thing .

But reality is terrible . It's terrible!

Three similar snakes have appeared from the other side!　What should we do? What should we really do . It was that hard just to beat one of them!

◇Knight◇

"Although vice-captain did great too, that nee-san defeated the hydra hey . "

"Let's work hard until we reach the gate . "

"But those swarms of zombies are continuing until the opposite side of the outer wall . "

"Good grief, just where are they coming from . "

"It can't be that No Life King has been revived right . "

However, the room for our mundane chattering is over .

"Captain, three of them are coming from the interior . "

I grimace at Donovan's report . Why does my bad hunch have to be proven right like this?

Three hydras come out from the interior .

"I, when this job is over, I will marry Pina-chan from the kitchen . "

The fool is already escaping from reality .

There's no choice but to retreat here . Since Donovan is already tired of firing Air Hammer, we have to retreat in one stretch .

◇Liza◇

Those are impossible indeed .

Even though I could have reached to where master is in just a bit more . . . .

I have force myself here as to not let Mia and Tama get injured .

I'm worried whether the human soldier earlier has escaped far enough, but we have no choice but to withdraw here . However, I wonder if we could get away safely with such enemies?

Let's preserve magic power for now .

The red light on the magic spear that I've stopped supplying with magic power grows dim . As if reflecting my weakness, I feel unpleasant .

◇Tama◇

I'm covering the last line of defense together with the horses .

It's another fire-spitting snake . This time there are three~?

If I'm not mistaken, it's said that if they're turned into kabayaki, it's delicious . What's kaba I wonder?

<TLN: See kemm's excellent explanation in the comment section . >

Haah, my stomach is hungry~ .

The light from Liza's spear has disappeared, Mia is breathing roughly .

Pinch?

But, it's okay .

Toward the snakes that were going to spit fire to Liza and the others, lot, and lots of transparent arrows are descending .

See?

Whenever Tama and the others are in danger, master will always protect us nyan .

I want to eat meat quick~♪

◇Knight◇

"Am I dreaming?"

"Maybe it's support from baron's army . "

"Stupid, one could fire at most three magic arrows right?　Just how many dozens of people would be needed for that kind of number . "

Moreover, the arrows aim toward the zombies that are going to disturb the spearworks of nee-san, and this happens not only once . I think that it's probably a companion of nee-san, but just spare me from misfire okay?

Good grief, I've had enough of absurdity today .

"Please look at that, giants are on the other side of the outer wall . "

Heads of giants could be seen on the other side of the city's wall, it looks like they're not destroying the wall, but attacking something on the suburbs . I'm not sure about it, but they're most likely defeating the zombies on the other side .

I've heard that baron Muno is a carefree happy-go-lucky person, but is he employing even the giants?　Impossible, story where giants helping humans only happen in heroic tales .

I'll say this again, I've had enough of absurdity already .
