Chapter 463

Bear-san and Shinobu’s respective battles

-Yuna’s POV-

I will undoubtedly defeat Volglass and the wyverns.

Occasionally, I use detection skills to check other locations as well.

It’s essential to understand the situation. After everything that happened, I probably should have given everyone a bearphone since we did the contract magic.

That way, if something happened, we could contact each other immediately.

With the appearance of monsters, my mind was so preoccupied with protecting the seal and defeating monsters that I was not thinking that far ahead.

Checking the situation with detection skills, the number of Volglass and wyverns steadily decreased at Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear sides.

Were they fighting well?

It makes me a little nervous, but they’re not the kind of kids who will quarrel with each another during a fight, so I think they will be fine.

But still, I’m a little worried, so I want to wrap everything up here and rush over there as soon as possible.

The location of the seal that Kagali-san went to, the number of monsters was also diminishing.

As expected of someone who once fought against the giant snake with Mumroot-san long ago.

I haven’t seen many fights of strong people. I wanted to see how Kagali-san fights.

And one more place. The place where Shinobu headed.

The place where Shinobu went had a lot of Volglass, but there were no wyverns. So when Shinobu chose a spot on the other side of us, I said nothing.

But, when I checked again with my detection skill, there was a reaction from a Wyvern.

I saw Shinobu’s ability in the battle with Jubei-san. She’s stronger than Debo-something adventurer who has quarreled with me in Crimonia.

But I don’t know if she can fight the wyverns.

However, looking at how Shinobu reacted when she saw the wyvern, it looked like she could fight it. She didn’t say anything weak when she saw the wyvern, so I think she can probably fight.

Now, let’s believe in Shinobu’s ability to protect the building where the seal was located.

But still, can you please stop sticking to the building?

I used air bullets to blow off the Volglass that was about to enter the building and used bear magic to defeat it at a distance from the building.

Occasionally, an air bullet would hit the building, and the building would be damaged, but we can’t help it, you know?

-Shinobu’s POV-

‘Ha~a, ha~a’

The building was already half-destroyed, and one wyvern wing was slashed off and knocked to the ground. I wanted to finish it off, but the other wyverns got in the way.

One was flying in the sky, and the other one was blinded by me, snarling as it glared back at me.

This is tough.

I was confident that I could fight at least one of them. But when I had to deal with three wyverns simultaneously and even a Volglass, it would be tough for me to do it alone.

I’m avoiding their attacks, so there’s no fatal injury, but still, blood was flowing from all over my body.

It’s hopeless to get help, isn’t it?

At first, I wondered if Kagali-sama or Yuna would come to my rescue, but considering that they’re fighting in other places as well, it might be difficult.

Initially, I evaded the wyvern’s attacks.

However, since I’m running as many times as I can and jumping as high as possible, I exert more body movements.

I want to take a break, but they won’t let me.

Moreover, adding to my body fatigue, my magical power was also considerably depleted as I also used magic to attack and defend.

I should have done a little more training.

It’s no use regretting it now. If I survive, I’ll decide to do some serious training. To do that, I have to defeat these monsters here and protect the seal.

I’ll have to work a bit harder.

I clutched my bloodied tantō(短刀) and took on the furious one-eyed wyvern. The wyvern looked at me and snarled.

Please don’t be so angry.

Well, if I were blinded in such a fashion, I would either get angry or run away.

If possible, I wish Wyvern had chosen the latter.

I pulled out a few kunai from my pocket and put some magic power into them. Then, I started running toward the wyvern’s blind spot.

From my experience fighting against my master, attacking from the blind spot was the most effective.

I threw the kunai towards the wyvern. The wyvern flapped its wings and dropped several kunai, but it couldn’t block all of them, and several kunai were lodged in its body. However, the wyvern didn’t stop moving.

Just drop dead, will you?

As I was dealing with the one-eyed wyvern, I received a shock from behind by shooting wind magic and being kept in check.

What!??

I felt severe pain in my left shoulder and immediately understood what had happened to me.

The other wyvern flying in the sky had attacked me from behind.

I was so focused on the wyvern in front of me that I ignored the wyvern flying in the sky. I want to punch myself in the head for forgetting about the other wyvern, even if only temporarily.

My body, whose shoulder was grabbed by the Wyvern, floated.

This is bad.

I tried to move my body, but Wyvern’s claws were digging into my shoulder, and I couldn’t escape. Moreover, when I moved my body, I felt severe pain in my left shoulder where I was held. Thanks to the chainmail I’m wearing, at least it’s not digging too deep into my shoulder, but it still hurts.

Moreover, the force was to the wyvern’s claws. I could only grit my teeth and endure it.

“You shouldn’t grab a girl’s soft shoulders so tightly. If you do that, she won’t like you. You should hold a girl’s shoulder gently.” (Shinobu)

I don’t know if this Wyvern is a male or female, but I still say that.

With the tantō in my right hand, I slashed the wyvern’s leg that was clutching my shoulder.

As Wyvern shrieked, the claws on my shoulders loosened. I almost fell off, but I grabbed the Wyvern’s leg and extended my arm to slice through its lower belly.

The wyvern violently failed and shook me off.

The height was higher than the building.

When I fell to the ground, I used wind magic to land so that the magic lessened the impact successfully. However, the landing impact caused pain in my left shoulder.

‘U~u’

Ouch.

I looked up and saw a wyvern with its leg and belly cut off fleeing.

All that remained was an angry wyvern with one eye and one wing missing.

The one-winged wyvern would dash as if it had found its prey and tried to hold me by the shoulders to keep me still.

I’d like to get some rest.

It put strength into its heavy legs, and so I readied my tantō.

Wyvern stretched its long neck and opened its mouth.

I dodged at the last second and slashed its throat with my tantō.

I was able to cut the wyvern’s head off, but the wyvern’s momentum did not stop, and it bounced off and rolled on the ground.

My body hurts.

But now, there is only one left.

I tried to stand up to fight, but my legs, my arms, I can’t move them, I have no strength left.

My legs trembled. I tapped my foot with my arm, which has no strength, to stop my leg from shaking.

I need to move a little more.

Once again, I stood up on my feet.

Somehow, I could stand up, but my legs were not strong enough.

When I hit my knee, it started to move a little.

And I think I can move some more.

I wiped the blood from my forehead and looked up at the other one-eyed wyvern circling in the sky.

It would be nice to go somewhere, but it doesn’t look like they will.

It’s circling the top of the building.

After all, the seal was what they were after, wasn’t it?

At the very least, I would like them to stay in the air until someone comes here.

Such a wish was not heeded. The wyvern descended towards the building.

I have to move my screaming body and run.

I won’t let you break the seal.

I shot a blade of wind with magic power flowing into my tantō. It’s not powerful, but it hits the wyvern.

The wyvern that was hit by the wind blade changed the target into me, not the building.

Only a fool would call in a wyvern himself and put himself in danger.

I have no magic power left in me.

I lowered my posture and held up my tantō.

This is the last one.

I took a direct hit from the wyvern’s charge.

At the same time, I thrust my tantō into its other eye. With this, I crushed both of its eyes.

The rampaging wyvern sloppily opened its mouth and tried to bite my arm.

Gathering my remaining magical power into my tantō, I slashed at the wyvern’s mouth.

This would be a fatal wound.

……It fell.

But the wyvern’s momentum didn’t stop as it came down from the air. It bounced off and rolled on the ground.

I’ve fallen on my back on the ground.

The sky is blue.

I can’t move anymore.

But I kept the seal intact.

I can take a break now, right?

As I was about to close my eyes to take a rest, a black shadow passed by.

A Wyvern.

I wanted it to be a dream. I wanted to close my eyes and pretend I hadn’t seen it.

But it doesn’t work that way.

If the seal gets broken here, it’s over.

With the arrival of Yuna and Mumroot-san, we now have a means of defeating the serpent. I saw hope.

To do that, we have to keep the seal safe until Mumroot-san comes back.

Everyone else was fighting to defend the seal.

I tried to get up.

Every part of my body screams in pain.

The hand holding the tantō also lacked strength.

I did a half-turn on my body, got down on my face, put some pressure on my arms, and stood up.

The wyverns were descending.

One was heading for me, and the other was going to the building with the seal.

But now, all I could do was stand. I had no strength left to fight the wyvern.

All I could do was watch as one of them tore down the building and entered it.

As that other wyvern that was coming at me.

I couldn’t defend the seal. This was as far as I could go, wasn’t it?

It was a short life, but it was fun.

My only regret was that I couldn’t defend the seal to the end.

Sakura-sama, I’m sorry.

The wyvern was closing in.

I closed my eyes to take it all in.

At that moment, there was a loud bump.

I opened my eyes to see what had happened, and there was a girl dressed as a cute bear in front of me.

“Shinobu, are you okay?” (Yuna)

Yuna called out to me.
