Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken-Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 – Sword alone won’t do .

I looked at Orikuto, ‘PA’ and a big boulder was seen . While I was thinking how Orikuto looked like a big boulder of lava, Orikuto starts going to our side . Although Orikuto body looks like the lava, I don’t feel any heat coming from him at all .

Orikuto is a slime which feels like a stone when touched . That is the feeling that I got when I looked at it . I plunge towards Orikuto and swing Eleanor downward .

“Mu? It’s hard . ”

My all out attack which I put in my one strike sword was only able to dip a few millimeters into its body . It’s body was extremely tough .

(It’s coming!!)

“Tsk!!!”

With Eleanor warning; I jump on Orikuto body and soar upward when the blade of Eleanor was hold off whilst Orikuto’s body gradually becomes bigger as if it was trying to swallow me up

‘GA BA’ a sound could be heard .

“If we’re to be captured by Orikuto with that sort of sturdiness, there is no escaping from it . ”

(Who knows the inside of the monster might be fragile)

“Sounds classic . ” Although we said it jokingly, we do not have any sort of intention to prove it wrong .

Orikuto stretched itself and attack even more fiercer than before . At one point it looked like a fang . Filled with the intent to consume me . I dodge sideways . From his defenseless side, I hold Eleanor from upside and swing it downward . My hands became numb as if Eleanor hit something dull .

I swung Eleanor as hard as I can, enough to feel the ground trembles however, I didn’t even manage to cut down ⅓ part of the stretched slime body part .

“Shittttt!!!”

I screamed out . I use all energy that I can exert out and then push Eleanor down .

TLN : Sounds skethy…

“Uooooooooaahhhhhhhh!”

Gagagagagaga . The sounds of Eleanor’s blade and Orikuto’s body clashed together continues and Orikuto was split into two .

“Amazing…”

Io voice was heard from behind . That was what I wanted to hear . However, I was not in a situation where I can bath in her praise .

“Wha—– . ”

I was shocked . That one part of Orikuto body that I managed to cut down regenerated in a split second . The one lump of its body returned back to its original .

Its special characteristic is just the same with a normal slime .

(I see, now this one here is dangerous)

Eleanor’s voice reverberated in my head . She sounds quite calm, quite admirable .

“… . Fine by me . ”

I take a deep breath, and re-do my stance with Eleanor and starts my assault on Orikuto .

Gagagaga gatsu .

I hack Orikuto to pieces . In any case I use Eleanor to strike it’s body . Sparks fly around, as the fragment of stones fly past each other . Afterward I put more energy into my attack .

“Haa… Haa…”

Orikuto was hacked to pieces and I was completely puffed .

“Now that I have cut him to this extent…”

(Not yet!)

“–?”

I was astonished . Orikuto fragments was slowly, little by little assembling itself and becoming one again . Physical attack won’t cut it . On top of that, due to the over hitting Orikuto before; now my hands are numb to the point that I wonder if I can still do the same thing as before or not .

“Kakeru-san, I’ve finish my chant!”

“—–! Shoot at it!”

I screamed while putting Eleanor in a defensive stance and jumped down . After that, Orikuto was hit directly by Io’s lightning magic . Orikuto stopped moving . It looked down, looking quite confused . Io came from the other side and said,

“You’re so amazing Kakeru-san . This is the first time I saw someone hack Orikuto to pieces all alone . More like, that sort of thing had never occurred before you did it . ”

Io looked at me with admiring eyes–no, even her voice sounded like she’s filled with admiration, to be frank it gave me a complicated feeling . If possible, I’d like to deal Orikuto all by myself .

“I’m sorry for being a noisy mouth . Let us get the ores quick and leave this place as fast as we can . ”

“Leave this place as fast as we can?”

“Yes . Orikuto movement might be restricted for now, but it won’t be long until it can move again . ”

“Orikuto heals quite quickly? What would happen if you hit it with your magic once again?”

“I can keep on attacking Orikuto given the time it is unable to move but, with me alone that would be…” Io said “I’m sorry” with an apologetic look on her face later on .

“The smallest amount of magician to mine Orikudite would be 5 people . For safety purpose, 7 people are recommended . ”

“If we don’t have at least that number of manpower then… It won’t do . Is that what you’re trying to say?”

“Yes . If you were to say if I can do it alone, I can certainly do it . I can hit Orikuto once, grab any Orikudite that I can find and then flee as fast as I can . However, that is very dangerous in its own sense . The amount of time for its movement to stop varies from one time to another, there are possible danger like getting attacked by Orikuto while mining Orikudite . ”

“I see . Understood . For the mean time, let us grab whatever we can mine . ”

If that being the case then there’s no helping it, we will grab whatever we can and then teleport using the warp wing at the very last-minute .

Thinking that, both me and Io started to mine Orikudite… but,

“Ka . . Kakeru-san . It’s moving!” Io said in a loud voice . Much to our surprise Orikuto has started moving . I put Eleanor in a stance and goes forward to cover Io .

“The time for it to be stunned is so small, it is amounted to this long?”

“There are times when it becomes like this too… it is considerably short one . ”

“How’s your magic Io?”

“The next one would take some time . ” Io said in a voice that was similar to crying, shit! We can’t mine any Orikudite like this .

For the now we will retreat using the warp wing and come again next time . Helena was being silent the entire time, she has been silent since the moment we encountered Orikuto . Her eyes kept on looking to this side with an unchanging expression .

I wonder— the thought that I got on my mind disappeared in a flash . As electric current flashed in my mind . I screamed out .

“Helena-! Throw that magic ball on that monster!”

“Okay . ”

Just like what I had requested, Helena pulled out the magic ball (Black) that she got from me and throw it straight at Orikuto . ‘heroherohero’ the ball flew, just like a rock it hits Orikuto’s body . The effect of the magic ball (black) was it will attack the targeted target with magic that it’s weak against . For Orikuto case, it should be lightning magic .

In an instant, the ball burst out with lightning and thunder .

As for me— I jumped right at Orikuto . I cling to Orikuto and received the lightning magic together with it .

“Kakeru-san?” Io surprised voice could be heard, it’s a given reaction for one to have . However, this is fine . Up until now (、、、、) everything is exactly as what I have planned .

TLN : (、、、、)

“Are you okay Kakeru-san?” Io came over looking very worried, and what follow after her was Helena .

“I’m okay . It was not much of a damage . ” I moved my body to show them my well-being . I’m not acting tough, I really didn’t received any damage worth mentioning . If I were really have to force out damage that I took, it would be my elbows feeling a little bit numb as if it hit some sort of corner or something .

“Rather than that, start the collecting . I will deal with stopping Orikuto’s movement . ”

“Eh? But…”

“I think this is how it goes…” I decided to show some proof that I am okay to Io who looks so worried .

I done it like what I did previously . With the same feeling that I felt with fire and ice, I start using the lightning magic .

Lightning attack befall Orikuto who was unable to move .

“Lightning! I see, Kakeru-san are now able to use lightning magic as you’ve received the attack before . ”

“Aa, as I managed to survive the lightning attack, as long as I have the affinity for it I am able to sue the magic right?”

“Yes!”

“In short that was my plan all along— and then”

I imagined the feeling that I felt once again let out another magic attack . With two consecutive attack, Orikuto’s body fell down .

“It looks like I am capable of consecutive magic attack . ” I said as if it was a normal thing . Lightning element affinity, and continuous magic power ( I wonder if…) .

Well I bet both of them are the works of (777 times) cheat skill that I got .

“Leave this to me and you both can focus on collecting the Orikudite . ”

“Okay . ”

“Understood . ”

“Ahh, you don’t have to worry about the amount that you need to take, after all we will be using the warp wing to go back . ” I said to the both of them and then turned back looking at Orikuto .

I concentrate on Orikuto to the point that I will shot off lightning magic right at it as soon as it moves . Weird enough the development that I went through was different then what I imaged it to be .

“I wonder what sort of person exactly Kakeru-san is . This is the first time… I see someone who is good with both sword and magic at the same time . ”

“If you look back at history then you will understand . ”

“History? What does it have anything to do with history?”

“Throughout history, there is anecdote of the heroes when their were young . Kakeru-sama resemble them greatly . ”

“I see . ”

Hearing the conversation between Helena and Io, for the mean time I’ll settle down with that .
