Chapter 105: By Guts, The Right Tool, Strength, Math, and Physics!
I helped the girls out of their hiding spot as the sound of explosion come from the cliff.
"Has it started?" Sophie asked.
"I hope it has ended," said Kayla.
I looked over the area where the explosion come from with my Divine Vision and answer their question.
"Unfortunately, although about fifty of them died, there are still few survivors. About ten of them. You girls go over to that coach over there and rest. There are two men, twins, knocked out over there. I'll interrogate them later. You just need to knock them out if they made a slight movement while I help Ms. Wendy and Candy to kill the rest of the enemies."
I said while pretending to be though and cool.
"Understood. Good luck!" said Kayla.
"Umm… can't you be kinder and just say 'No! I'll help you!' like that?"
"No! It's important to rest. You will kill the enemies while we're resting and look after the two people you said about."
"No. That was just me pretending to be though. I really wish for your help here. Even though the enemies is not a lot, I still want some help."
Aren't the company of the protagonist should say 'No! I'll help you!' just like that and they will help the protagonist? This just prove that fiction is fiction. Or maybe I'm not the protagonist here?
"That's why we'll help by not becoming your burden. You can go wild while we're taking a break."
…seems like Kayla got influenced by me too much. She's becoming lazy.
She should have rested enough while hiding underground, but to think that she said she want to take a break, she's becoming more and more like me. Leaving the important thing to the capable ones while taking a break.
I also want to do that! That's the main reason why I visited the king back then! But until now, I still have to be the one to do something! Can't I take a rest?
Let's stop complaining and just put some effort in what matter most at the moment. Killing the rest of the enemies and survive.
"Fine then. Make sure that those two are tied and unable to move. One of them already has Magic Restriction Collar on him, so you don't need to watch him since he's unable to use magic even if he's awake. Just be careful with the other one. But with how hard I hit him, I don't think he will wake up until tomorrow."
"I'm coming too! I want to test my new strength! Since I just breakthrough to Intermediate level in my ice element, I want to try it as soon as possible!"
Angela volunteer to come with me to kill the remaining enemies.
"Alright then. Let's go."
Angela and I left the other two who choose to take a rest.
Although I said that it's a shame that they're not going to help, I know how tired they were after fighting the enemies.
There are twenty five enemies, and although both Sophie and Kayla managed to take down four of them, it still makes them exhausted because these enemies are much stronger and organized than any bandits we encountered before.
As for Angela, she's still in her top condition. In fact, she's much stronger now because she has just broken through. She founds an enemy who got separated and seems to be trying to escape, and fight him.
It's supposed to be dark at the moment, but because of Ms. Wendy's fire magic, there are some grass and trees that got burned and give us source of light.
I don't need them though since I have night vision, but thanks to the fire, Angela managed to find an enemy.
She shot several Ice Spikes at him, but he managed to dodge them. Then Angela used wind magic to boost herself and charge directly at the enemy. In the close range, he used Fireball at the enemy's mouth, and killed him.
"I thought you're trying to use your ice magic? Why Fireball?"
"Because he's also an ice element mage. When I shot the Ice Spikes at him, he sneered and dodged to see my reaction. But he didn't know that I have three other elements. If I used ice magic again, he will be able to either block it or maybe negate it with using an even more powerful ice magic, so I killed him with a Fireball because he won't expect it at all."
"…you're a freak. A magic freak and a battle freak. You're too much of a genius."
"Thank you. Shall we go on then?"
"Sure."
She's too strong and too smart! Only within the area of magic and battle. For other subjects? She's just average.
But with this, once she become stronger and stronger, she can't no longer keep following me who wants peace. If she want to be stronger, she had to go on a journey. Whether it's to enter magic college, or adventuring, she has to leave if she wants to be stronger.
And there's nothing I can do to hold her. After all, the one who asked her to be stronger is me.
For now, there are still something she can learn from me, Victoria, and Sonia, so she will stay with us.
But in the future, she might choose to leave.
No. Knowing her, she will leave undoubtedly. Maybe in one or two year, but not now.
Whatever the case, she keeps getting stronger and stronger. Probably she will become much stronger than Angela in my past live, the Elemental Master. As a friend, I should congratulate her.
Since she won't leave anytime soon, I should teach her everything I can. In term of magic and fighting though. As for other stuffs? Kayla is a much better learner in other area.
What about Kayla and Sophie? Will they leave as well?
As for Kayla, I think she will leave and learn as many things she could. And Sophie, I don't know if she want to be stronger like Angela and Kayla. She just said that she wanted to be with me. But who knows about their future?
Whatever the case, if they choose to leave, they can leave anytime they want. After all, we have a home they can return to.
Ah shit… I'm getting sentimental about thinking that they're gonna leave. Good thing it's dark now. If not, everyone will see my eyes tearing up. It's weird to see someone crying as they kill. Though I did kill two people while I'm in tears.
From ten enemies, one has been defeated by Angela and two has been shot to death by me. As for the other seven, four of them are flying. Three of the flying ones are carrying their friend. Now all of them are flying.
"What now? I haven't learned to fly yet."
Should I tell her to kill the ones on the ground that pretend to be dead?
"Try to shot your ranged magic attack at them. Just like Candy did."
"What about you?"
"I'll also shot while trying to get closer."
Although they are flying, other than Candy who tried shooting the enemies from the ground, they are still within the range of my jump.
I shot my Blobpistol at one of them who is carrying another mage to distract them from attacking Ms. Wendy. It worked and both of them are aiming at me.
"Don't you dare targeting my students!" shouted Ms. Wendy.
Don't worry, Ms. Wendy. It's all part of the plan.
As the pair descending, I jumped toward them. My jump is too fast and too high that makes their reaction slowed down because it was too surprising for them.
I jumped to right above the two of them and stabbed my spear down and pierced both of them together.
"Two down, five more to go."
Then as I killed two of them, one flying enemy who doesn't carry anyone flew toward me.
"You're a sitting duck once you're in the sky!"
…I really want to see a duck sitting on the sky. That would be funny.
I used the body of the flying man I just killed as a foothold, and jumped again toward the one saying something funny.
I pierced my spear directly from the front. Now three down and four to go.
"Roy! You're amazing!"
Amazing? I just stepped on dead body to be able to jump. Why don't you see once I'm able to step on air? That would be really amazing sight.
"We need to escape! Let's split! Two on the ground and two on the sky! Whoever managed to survive will return and report everything happening here!"
Well, it's not like I'm planning to let anyone of you live. Other than the two twin brothers whom unconscious on the ground.
"Ms. Wendy! You and I will get the two flying ones! Leave the one on the ground to the others!"
"Okay!"
She understand my plan, and fly toward me to catch me and carry me with her.
"Drop me here!"
As soon as the pair who were flying split up, I told Ms. Wendy to drop me.
How will I be able to move on air while I can't step on air yet, and there's no dead body to step on?
The answer is by grappling hook.
I shot the hook and let it grab the top of a tall tree. It's about twenty meters distance but Blobby is able to reach that far.
Then as the hook is attached to the cliff, I let gravity do its job and pulled me down. The grappling hook is still in place so I swung back up and remove the hook from the cliff.
"AAAAAAA!"
I shouted as Victoria told me to while swinging.
Well, this is fun. No wonder Victoria told me to shout.
Shouting is indeed a must.
As I was raised again, I'm directly in front of the furthest flying enemy.
"Hello!"
"What?! How did you get here?!"
"By guts, the right tool, strength, math and Physics!"
I showed him the importance of math before I killed him.
I stabbed him and used his body as foothold to land safely on the ground.
Then I looked at the other three.
"They will be fine. Mission complete!"
