(But… I really barely made on time)
While looking at the strange creature that was buried under the collapsed building, Rin recalled the series of events that led him to this point.
However, it's actually nothing special, as he just happened to see many people running to escape from something while he was taking a walk, just like Akari. Among the people who ran, a girl said to him that a monster appeared and there is an adventurer halting it right now. And she wanted Rin to save the said adventurer.
Then, what appeared before Rin, who rushed to save the adventurer after listening to the girl, was precisely the scene that just happened. The moment he saw the blow of that strange creature approaching the adventurer, Rin rushed with all his might and kicked it.
Well, that's what happened, however…
(I never thought that adventurer was actually Akari.)
But at the same time, Rin was also convinced. Because if it's Akari, it won't be strange for her to throw herself up to protect someone. Thus, albeit barely, Rin was really happy that he made it in time to save her.
"Rin, why are you…"
"My bad, but leave the talk for later."
Dismissing Akari's question, Rin shifted his gaze to the strange creature. He knew that it wasn't something that would die with just that kick, as the thing still turned its golden eyes towards them without losing its fighting spirit.
Then, Rin used [Appraisal] on it.
"Level 10,000 and an unknown name… huh. I see."
Seeing that, Rin was convinced on how it was unharmed after receiving a kick from him. Earlier, Rin was moving beyond the limit of speed Nanami advised him to use to protect Akari. Even so, he can merely pull out a speed comparable to a level 8000 adventurer at best, which wasn't a number that could reach that strange creature. Hence, at the very least, the creature could be called a superior enemy for the current Rin.
However,
"I guess compared to my battle against that guy… this is nothing."
Saying that, Rin laughed, remembering the battle against his former rival. At the same time, Rin intuitively sensed that he also only had one minute to defeat the creature this time.
I just have to defeat it within that time frame.
"— Here I go."
Having made up his mind, Rin faced the strange creature.
◇◆◇
"… No way."
Akari doubted the sight that unfolded in front of her. In her despair, Rin came to save her. That, of course, made her relieved. But that was only for a moment, because she thought that the strange creature was definitely stronger than Rin. That is why she wanted to stop him from fighting it, however– she soon swallowed that thought back.
"He is…. overpowering it."
The consecutive attacks from the strange creature that Akari could only endure were deflected, sometimes received, and even countered by Rin with his bare hands from the openings he found. The fight just looked like an adult in a child's play, showing an overwhelming difference in their skill and level. Without a need to ask anyone, it was clear to her who was stronger there.
"But how could Rin have such power…?"
Akari is confused by such an incomprehensible sight. And in front of her, the fight is about to reach the conclusion–
◇◆◇
(– What the heck, is this)
While exchanging blows with the strange creature, Rin muttered in his mind.
『■■■■OOO!』
With a roaring sound that shook the atmosphere, the arm of the creature drew close to Rin.
