Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 57

After eating every last bit of the stew and filling our bellies, we went through a short maintenance and started moving according to plan..

We moved a little early, figured out the surveillance location of the abandoned dungeon together, and then split up after figuring out where to prepare for the attack along the forest path I walked along when tracking down the guys heading to the village..

It was an insurance policy so that if anything were to go wrong with the plan, someone other than me or Gaendal would be able to act as contacts. Thanks to this, it took quite a bit of time, but like skilled adventurers, the party was well versed in the difficult forest path..

"I drove this way and reached that surveillance location in 30 minutes.?"

"I just used auras to preserve my stamina, but it wasn't particularly difficult.."

Looking at Catherine shaking her head and scratching the back of her head, it seemed like it was a wise choice to leave some time in her return plan..

"Besides, I learned something. Isn’t this a skill learned from an elf?."

"I haven't lived long, but this is the first time I've heard of being able to learn this skill from an elf. How on earth did you cook it and boil it??"

"Let's just say we saved each other's lives.."

"No, then you're just hitting on me, right? That's not an answer."

However, it cannot be said that he made a contract after stabbing six thieves to death and rescuing an elf when he was young. If I saw a 15-year-old kid talking like that in front of me without knowing anything, wouldn't I have slapped him in the back and told him to read the novel??

No matter how much experience I had as an adventurer and the skills I had demonstrated in person, it was difficult to think that I could place unconditional trust in a story that a complete stranger could say was absurd..

It was a topic that could only go around in circles if we talked about it for a long time, so we talked about it in moderation. Catherine seemed to think that there was a good reason, but showed consideration by not asking any more questions..

After that, it's a very boring time of waiting..

Even though we knew there wouldn't be any problem if we made a little noise, we maintained silence after finishing maintenance of the weapons and reconfirming the attack plan. I could have just wasted my time training to use my magical powers, but Catherine's calmness and patience surprised me again this time..

He stares at the road with an expressionless face, motionless, as if a wild beast hunting for prey sees an opportunity. I am so scared..

It is even more unfamiliar because most of her impression is made up of her cheerful smile for a short period of time. Eventually, after taking some time, I couldn't control her curiosity and decided to see how long she could stay in the same position..

"come."

And the spectacle ended with admiration when Catherine, who had not shown any movement other than blinking for nearly two hours, opened her mouth..

"Right?"

"That's correct."

The ones who appeared at the end of the street she was watching were demon worshipers who were so drunk that even their steps were staggering. The time on the pocket watch I took out of my pocket was about 5:20. Looking at their steps, it was clear that they had started much faster than expected..

When it became clear that even though they were gathered together as adventurers or not even adventurers, they acted and thought with a sense of solidarity and duty like soldiers, I couldn't help but applaud the person who trained them to such an extent..

Well, the only thing I could give them was Catherine's hammer blows and my sword blows..

"How about another month or so...huh??"

Catherine's actions were so quick that it was hard to believe she didn't know how to use Aurors. The sight of her running through the bushes, her long blonde hair flowing as if she didn't feel the weight of her hammer at all, was truly like a lion..

The devastation caused by the war hammer she wielded was so terrible that not even a lion could dare imitate it..

-Kwaaang!

What remained in my ears was the sound of a heavy impact hitting the floor, but there was also an intense bursting sound as if something was exploding. It was a sound of death more horrifying than the terrible crashing sound I heard in my past life when someone's small pet dog was crushed by the wheels of a car on the road due to the owner's foolish carelessness..

The heightened nerves and thinking made it possible for a person to barely look away from a situation that was on the verge of being crushed, as if being crushed by an industrial press. In an urgent situation where even if I had reacted just a moment later, the bizarre death could have been a trauma, I ran to flank the guys who were dumbfounded and unable to even react..

"Denny?"

Even at that moment, the war hammer that had reduced one person to a state of exhaustion was lifted up to the middle in an instant as if it had struck the ground, and was thrown at an unbelievable speed towards the two guys who were unable to come to their senses from the death before their eyes. The one word they uttered was the name of a colleague whose form had already disappeared..

Since their deaths were certain, I no longer paid any attention to them. If the war hammer, which is no different from that anvil, plunges into you, you have no choice but to have your face shattered..

Instead, he stabbed straight into the eyes of the guy closest to him, pulled out the sword he had on his waist, decapitated the guy next to him, and threw the sword towards the guy furthest away. The linked movements that have become so familiar to me are done perfectly without fail..

While the thrown sword is rushing towards the guy who got stuck in the solar plexus, the last survivor, who has finally accepted the whole situation, opens his eyes wide and wanders between me and Catherine..

While my trembling hand, which was barely able to hold the sword as it was moving around my waist, stuttering like a lost gaze, I pulled out the sword that was already stuck in my solar plexus again, Catherine was preparing a full swing towards the guy with a terrifying force..

"Wow!"

The guy let out a scream of fear, but with his drunken body and mind, he did not succeed in pulling out the sword. Due to the extreme tension, the sword and sheath were not placed properly, resulting in an absurd situation where the sword that was half-drawn became caught in the sheath..

"Nooooo!!"

Embarrassed by his mistake, the moment his gaze shifted from Catherine to the sword and sheath he was holding, the situation was already over. Still, in preparation for her unexpected situation, she knelt diagonally and cut off both wrists of the guy holding her sword. As soon as she could, Ye Kat Rika's full swing exploded..

-Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The battle ended with neither a quang nor a thud, but a literal explosion. I could hear something squishy hitting a nearby tree and sticking to the floor, but I deliberately didn't look at the sight. Just by grabbing the snowball that was hit by me and getting up by stabbing the sword into the neck of the guy who was trying to get up staggeringly, I could already see the surroundings, where there was no hell in sight..

Pieces of flesh, exploded human remains. Catherine, who had created a sea of ​​blood that seemed impossible to clean up, let go of her beast-like expression in one breath and looked at me and smiled..

"Like you said, I really couldn't even react properly. Thanks to you, I learned something good, Eldmia.."

Even though it was a scary sight, all I could feel was admiration for her skills and the reassurance that came from being a colleague..

"Be honest. I know how to use an auror.?"

"Hahaha! good! Give me more praise! It's always good to hear a compliment!"

Without any exaggeration, even by other world standards, this is a tremendous power that goes beyond common sense. You're swinging a piece of metal that looks like your head weighs more than 20kg like you're swinging a two-handed sword? At that level, I can understand why you don't bother using weapons like axes or two-handed swords..

You can swing that war hammer with speed and accuracy anyway, so why use those dangerous blades??

"Isn't it possible that the last name or first name you're hiding includes Siemen??"

"huh? What does that mean? The nuance is like a compliment.."

"Well, there is. A tremendous warrior who uses a hammer that can be called a battering ram.."

"That's amazing! He must be a legendary figure! I really like it, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with my name.!"

As expected, she was the owner of a different world sensibility, laughing heartily and cheerfully amidst a sea of ​​blood and corpses that made people want to run away immediately..

"after! This was not the time. Let's go back quickly and take care of the rest.."

"It's over in an instant, so we have some free time, so let's go find some of their money in this mess.."

"oh?"

"I don't think these guys would have given me a small amount of money to play and drink.."

If Cheryl had seen it, she might have given her a cold look, but Catherine and I were thoroughly adventurous sensibilities..

We quickly found the money bag in a short period of time and headed to the abandoned dungeon..
