Chapter 8: Underground Tomb Exploration 4
Hannes: 「Y-YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAARRDD!!!!」
I swung my axe on impulse. I need to unleash even if it’s just a little of this furious emotion towards that detestable one who was right above meーーーmoved her body sidewaysーーーmowed downーーーbackstepーーーwent over meーーーswung her body diagonally to behind meーーーand slashed with her daggerーーーthen she dodged with a backflip.
Even though this is a narrow passage, this got to be some kind of a joke!!!
Hannes: 「This bastard!!」
Ryne tried to step in, butーーー
ーーーGakiinーーー!!!
ーーーHis long sword was repelled by a thrown dagger.
Ryne: 「Hannes! Calm down! Cooperate with us!」
Hannes: 「!! A-aah, yeah, that’s right.」
Shit! Because that bastard suddenly killed our two comrades, it made my blood boil instantly… even though I knew that we cannot win if we lose our temper here.
…But, it doesn’t mean that the reason why we need to cooperate together in this narrow passage is because of how weak we are. We got a benefit from the beta version whereas we could instantly jumped to level 15 which was the maximum at that time and got half the skills level. Hence, as top players, we have our own ability and dignityーーー!!!
Hannes: 「……fuuh!」
Gradually, bit by bit, we attacked cooperatively and chased after her!
Kellin relentlessly aimed his spear at her foot and made a move towards her while Ryne aimed at her head to distract her and block her line of sight with his bladework. Then, when her movement stops… No, If I could get just a slight gap, I will strike her with my hammerーーー!!!
Kellin: 「Shi-!」
Ryne: 「Fu!!」
Hannes: 「Oraaa!!」
Rena: 「……」
Fuck! We didn’t even scratch her! Is this still useless?! There are three people in a narrow passage, though?!
(TL Note: One of the worst lines in World of Tanks *PTSD*)She evaded Kellin’s spear as if she was dancing along with it, or rather, she sometimes aimed for his neck while she stepped on the spear and threw off her balance. Ryne’s blade was also dodged by her with only moving her head without looking at him. It goes without saying my large axe was…………
Hannes: 「Fucking shit!!」
Ryne: 「You monster…」
I cursed along with Ryne unconsciously… but it can’t be helped if you look at this situation due to the fact that we can’t even get a single hit on her!
However, we are not just struggling with her here. Slowly but steadily we lead herーーー
Rena: 「－－－－!!」
Myra has shot an arrow.
She’s still stuck with us even when we can’t get a hit, and the arrow is coming from behind her, which is a blind spot for her.
This distance is Myra’s kill zone. It will pierce from the back of her head and she will have an instant death, serves her right! When I was halfway convinced about her deathーーー
Rena: 「……Ah? thank you very much.」
Hannes: 「－－－－Huh?」
It was then that she fell on her back as if she was pulled by something, and the arrow passed by as it is and pierced through Kellin’s head as the end result… and I can only think about Kellin’s stunned look when he respawned.
―――How can she avoid it?
―――Does she also have eyes on her back?
I know that is not the case, but I was very shocked and stiffened with my eyes wide-opened as I was sure and confident that it was a certain result.
We were stunned for just about a few seconds, but in that meantime, she was already approaching straight towards Myra.
Myra: 「……kh!」
Mira shot her arrows continuously towards her approaching opponent. However, all of the arrows were deflected with a dagger.
I, as well as Ryne returned to our senses after hearing that sound and start running, but it was already too late…
Myra’s throat was pierced from the front and lost all of her HP………
Ryne: 「aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!」
Hannes: 「Ryne! Wait!」
Seeing that, Ryne, who had been rebuking me up until now, desperately rushed in on his own.
Hannes: 「Fucking piece of shit!!」
With that, I also tried to charge in, butーーー
Rena: 「Well yes… it was fun in its own way, you see?」
She pierced my throat while smiling and I lost all of my HP.
By the time I was about to respawn, I felt mortified due to the fact that I was captivated by her smile….
Ending with her smile, my view was temporarily darkened, and by the time I opened my eyes, I was in the temple and spotted my party members who has a gloomy atmosphere around them as if this is a funeral……… As expected, I wasn’t captivated by her! Like hell I will admit it!
There won’t be any next time! When we find her, we will definitely win!
Thus, I suggested an evaluation meeting with the depressed party members and made a new oathーーー
The battle is now over and my level has increased. In addition to that, I have acquired new skills including night vision, which is good indeed.
Rena: 「Fuuh… I tried to see if I could fight even in a narrow passage, and it was alright, I see.
Especially Azabu-san, you were active without even a single delay. Therefore, I will give you a flower circle (Hanamaru).」
(TL Note: Flower circle is equivalent to a gold star that was awarded to children for their good work at school)Azabu: 『……! (*bassa bassa*!)』
Rena: 「Ufufu, are you happy with that? I see, that’s good.」
In fact, I could not dodge the arrow at the end if it had not been for Azabu-san. Nevertheless, the monsters did not use any magic, so is it not the best outcome?
Rena: 「I see no problem with our battle there, hence let’s aim to conquer this area while taming another target monsters!」
Yamada: 『－－－－!』
Kageyama: 『Uuu!』
Azabu: 『……! (*bassa bassa*!)』
Fufu, they’re somehow pretty cute. Let’s go steadily with this condition.
