SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER 70

Seventieth Episode~ Ambush・Raid

“Uaa-”

“-Enemy raid!”

What? Enemy?

Someone rides up on a horse before being struck by a large black arrow and falling .

Arrows, fire arrows, and magic fire balls come flying .

They are outside the range of presence detection .

The surprise attack is coming from the left .

-Shit, filled with anger, I look for the source of the hail of arrows .

There is a group in dark brown .

There is a magic user casting fire balls and a light soldier using a bow .

I see someone walking in a strange enormous armor .

Is that iron helmet a mask? A little taller than three meters?

They’re taking a stance, drawing their longbow with a thick arm .

Perhaps, is that a magic wogan doll?

I saw soldiers of iron during the Evil Dragon King subjugation .

It seems this is the one firing the thick black arrows .

With slow movements, the iron creature shoots another arrow .

Again, one of the adventurers is pierced by iron .

The iron creature appears slow, but its accuracy is unquestioned .

The members of 【Twilight Road】 were acting as vanguard, so the giant arrows, regular arrows, and fireballs removed adventurers from their horses, causing them to escape in every which direction .

After the horses escape, only the dead adventurers remain on the ground .

The body of Kens, the leader of Twilight Road is among them .

A thick iron arrow is embedded in his chest .

He died the moment his heart was pierced .

The thick iron arrows also struck the wagons, breaking off the wheels .

Its frame is tilted, resting on the road . The goods being transported are spilled over the ground .

The horses that were harnessed to the wagons have away as well .

The thick iron arrows have stopped flying, but the regular arrows and fireballs are still falling .

A fireball directly hits the covered wagon the merchant was riding in .

The coachman is killed by a stray arrow .

Without its driver, the covered wagon crashes into the rocks and goes up in flames .

Arrows hit the harnessed horses so go into a panic and break free of their restraints, running away .

The caravan stops moving .

This surprise attack was planned like they knew the convoy would pass through here .

Angry voices rise from the adventurers .

However, only one of the covered wagons hasn’t been attacked .

There, the adventurers from 【Fadyke’s Fang】 are acting as middle guard, defending .

They seem to have blocked the big iron soldier’s thick arrows .

Several people are running away, eluding the fireballs .

N, what? Those two? The two adventurers in dark brown robes are doing something else . They dismount their magic beasts, draw knives, and attack the members of Fadyke’s Fang from behind .

Seriously- we’re being betrayed .

That moment, I remember what happened yesterday .

That adventurer woman sent a communication with her invisible hawk .

However, the female adventurer removes a bastard sword from her back and moves to protect the last wagon .

The red-head isn’t betraying us? She’s not the enemy right now .

The sword she is using resembles a bastard sword .

It’s a one handed sword like Bitou .

While I look at Fran the two traitors in dark brown respond with throwing their knives, they’re fast, two more people are killed .

Their skill with the sword is as deadly as their ability with knives .

They definitely have the throwing skill .

Their movements are fast and their aim accurate .

A thrown knife lands between the brows of an adventurer using a bow .

Without their bow user, 【Fadyke’s Fang】 can’t counterattack, so they can only be cut down one sided .

However, I’ll make them regret this . (TL: Booyah . )

I aim for the person with the long sword .

I extend my right hand, and after the magic halberd appears as I swing with the crimson ax blade, then I slap Popobumu and instantly arrive at the dark brown cloaked man .

At the same time, the crimson ax blade hits a boulder sticking out of the ground, sparks scatter- a trail follows like a firework .

The man in the dark brown robe turns around when I arrive, but it’s too late .

The flaming crimson blade severs the man’s head .

The severed head flips through the air .

The dark brown hood is stained with blood, the body collapses like a puppet with its strings cut .

“Na- Rocha, shit!”

Angry with me for killing their companion, they begin shouting .

-Rocha .

It seems they didn’t give false names .

The screaming man removes his hood exposing his face .

He is fair-haired and blue eyed, a handsome man .

I glare at him .

Such a gaze is ignored . Make Popobumu detour around .

-I check my surroundings .

The people launching the surprise attack are on the right side as well as the left .

On the other hand, the surviving adventurers have gathered around the covered wagon, creating a barricade .

I should return and see how things are going .

-I sent Popobumu to the wagon .

After leaving the covered wagon, the surviving adventurers have understood what is happening .

Fran is leading several adventurers with good builds .

They are protecting the members around the carriage .

“Someone betrayed us . This attack was planned . ”

“Shit, what luck . N…we’re surrounded, oi, is that a Wogan?”

“It is . …This is the worst case scenario . For so many thieves to appear…”

I see the group is releasing attacks from the wagon’s shadow .

The magic Wogan doll and dozen of people dressed in dark brown robes approach .

We’re completely surrounded .

As I look at enemies, I find the person who glared at me earlier .

Ash blue eyes . The traitor has rejoined his group .

However, fire balls and thick iron arrows have stopped .

The covered wagon has been left intentionally .

Now then, seeing as it can’t be helped, let’s hear what they have to say .

“You people, you okay?”

“Ah, the rear guard is fine . However, the wagons are destroyed, this is the only one left . ”

“Adventurers, help us…”

Then, Taijiki appears from in the covered wagon .

His expression is haggard .

It seems he’s alive .

“You’re alive . Leave it to us, we won’t surrender to thieves . The members of 【Fist of God】 are all resolute . Na, you-”

“That’s right . ” “As expected of Gomez . ” “We’ll defend to our death . ”

Including the leader, there are three members in 【Fist of God】 who can use magic .

“You can smile under these circumstances? I admire your enthusiasm, but do you have countermeasures?”

Fran has taken a defensive posture, speaking caustic words with lowered eyebrows . Still, 【Fist of God’s】 leader doesn’t look upset and answers seriously .

“Sheila, can you spread the defense wall immediately?”

“Yeah . I can set it up . ”

“Captain, what about me?”

“Gio, stay by Sheila’s side . -Fran, aren’t you a B rank adventurer? Sheila will create a defensive magic circle, until then I’ll fight-”

Sheila’s magic chant cuts him off .

“-The magic lasts five minutes . The time shortens when attacks are received . ”

“That’s right . Do you have some kind of trump?”

“Iya, I don’t have an area attack skill, but I’m confident in my ability with this long sword . If it’s one on one, I won’t be defeated . ”

He says to Fran with a hint of confidence .

“Is that so, the answer is natural for a B rank . Don’t I have confidence too? However, we’re outnumbered . ”

After Fran talks to Gomez, she nods her head and turns her gaze to me .

-Fran?

Her freckled face squints a little, she’s a beautiful woman .

She says she is confident in her ability with the bastard sword and her left arm .

On her left hand is a red leather glove with a button, her arm is covered in white gauze from her wrist to her shoulder .

Does this have something to do with a skill?

It may be related to her handling the invisible hawk .

However, the transparent bird left and still has yet to return .

Fran looks at me too .

Our eyes meet silently, then I turn to look at Gomez .

Because of the protection of Gomez’s magic user, Rollo and I should be able to move on our own .

Ma, I don’t know if these guys would survive, but I’ll give my opinion .

“I have a plan . Plan B . ”

“Plan B? N, what kind of plan? I think…you . ”

“C rank, Shuya . ”

“Is that so, you can use B rank Fran? So? What is it?”

I meant something different, but it’s fine .

“Iya, Rollo and I will attack . At that time, you maintain the battle formation, your magic user-san can set up the defense circle . Can the barrier be maintained until my black cat and I break the encirclement?”

“Are you an idiot?”

“Iya, I’m serious? I’ll do it regardless of what you say . ”

“-N, wait, I’ll take part in the plan . ”

Fran seems to agree with my plan B .

“Oi, oi, you agree with this guy’s idiotic plan B?”

Gomez half laughs as if saying a joke .

“That’s-”

When Fran speaks, a thick iron arrow pierces the covered wagon .

“You’re surrounded, surrender peacefully!”

A thieve with a deep voice speaks .

“-Is that so? Fran agrees with me . What about you?”

“Ku…”

Gomez looks at the members of his clan .

Everyone trusts Gomez, they wait for his command .

“Fine- please, take care of it . ”

Appearing determined, Gomez replies .

Yosh, we’ll be doing some work .

-I look in Rollo’s direction .

“Nya . ”

Rollo turns her crimson eyes to me . She’s sitting on the back of Popobumu’s head, but she appears ready to go .

“Well then, Fran and Gomez, thank you . ”

Saying so, I guide Popobumu and charge to the left .

There are many enemies on the left .

With Burdock in my right hand, I urge Popobumu to go faster .

“Rollo, can you hold of the big iron soldier?”

“N, Nyao . ”

“It’s slow so its legs should be its weak point, I’ll leave it to you-”

While saying so, I fix Burdock to the right .

The crimson spear head pierces the chest of a dark brown robe in front of me .

The crimson spear goes straight through .

With the corpse stuck to the spear head, without slowing down, I continue to charge into the enemies .

-Rollo jumps off .

She runs while her form changes, and like I said, ignores the small fires, charging for the magic wogan doll .

Seeing Rollodinu in the corner of my sight, I extend my left hand and eject <Chain> .

The range and speed of the <Chain> skill have become comparable to a bullet .

-Buzzing as it flies, the chain creeps across the ground .

The chain pierces the foot of a bow man and wraps around his leg like a snake .

I lift the living bow soldier and slam him into another bowman .

Then, using the impact, I let the chain entwine the other bow man .

-Thus is the birth of a meat wall .

Living flesh hammer, just kidding .

Once room has been created, the warrior in dark brown cloak shout and approach . Good force . However-

I throw the slightly burnt corpse attached to the halberd at the charging men .

The corpse and halberd collide with them . Somersaulting down, I move away from Popobumu’s stomping feet .

Even as I hear something squish- I jump .

Popobumu charges away from the people .

An assassin type soldier tries to take advantage of the opening after I land, approaching with a dagger in each hand he tries to stab me in the back .

-The daggers glimmer .

Back stab? However, I activate a certain skill .

The next moment, the daggers fall from the man’s hands, and he is blown away .

I made a fist with the <Magic Thought Guidance Hand> .

The assassin’s face is caved in .

I pick up the dead man with my distorted mana hand .

I make the corpse float in the air behind me . (TL: Shit, Shuya . )

Now, I have two meat walls .

Next, a magic user sees me and tries to launch fireballs . GOOOOOO, it approaches loudly .

Unconcerned, I respond-

I move the chain so the fireball collides with the meat wall .

The fireball extinguishes . The man hit by the fireball is slightly charred, his leg looks like it is about to come off, so I remove chain entwined around it .

This magician?

I glare at the magic user who threw the fire ball .

Holding a staff . -I aim for the magic user .

Using fighting moji enhanced legs, jump, hop, step .

Firing <Chain> into the ground midway, I move fast .

That moment- I go straight to the magic user .

I use the momentum from charging at him . Slashing down with the magic spear, I bisect the magic user’s head .

However, unusual- the magic user’s response .

Using his staff, he tries to block the crimson ax blade .

However, the moment they meet, the staff is sliced in half and set aflame then the magic user’s head is bisected .

The crimson blade sinks into the magic user’s head, sizzling sounds are heard, and the smell of burnt flesh wafts from the wound .

The smell endures .

I kick the corpse and remove my halberd, then spin the magic spear .

-An arrow comes flying .

It lands with a dull thump .

-The arrows hit the two meat walls behind me .

One of the two meat walls is held in the air with <Magic Thought Guidance Hand> so without magic observing eyes the opponent doesn’t understand what is happening .

The face of the man who fired the arrow is filled with astonishment .

It’s only natural .

I have no intention of the letting the bowman fire another arrow .

I use fighting moji enhanced legs again, closing the space with the Bowman .

Without slowing down, I <thrust> the magic spear-

<Thrust> while twisting, the piercing skill .

The spear head and adjacent ax blade pierce forward, twisting .

My opponent meets a miserable end .

The crimson ax blade tears the wound in a circle . A big circular flaming wound is created .

The leather armor quickly peels away leaving behind a burning wound shaped like a crescent moon .

The Bowman’s eyes open wide as he looks down at the fatal wound .

“…”

At a loss for words, he says nothing .

He simply falls forward .

Now, I’ve finished killing the enemies around me .

I don’t see any near bye enemies or detect any presences .

There’s more space to work now, so I run after Rollo .

She seems to be facing off with the Wogan doll properly .

The feelers are entangled around its legs, making the gigantic figure fall over .

Dragging like that…she approaches .

Why is Rollo dragging such a heavy object to me?

Moving the iron creature side to side, its live a toy being pulled by a string…

Dust is being kicked up .

I can hear the screams of the dark brown thieves .

Several people around the iron warrior have collapsed, dead .

Ah~, the enemy’s final pitiful moments .

“Nya, nyah . ”

After all, Rollo calls out while she drags the magic Wogan doll .

She caught her prey, so she wants to show off . (TL: I love Rollo . )

“I troubled you . Rollo, you can do what you like now . ”

The magic wogan doll is currently a broken down mess .

Oops, it’s still moving .

Its surface is deformed like it’s been smashed into trees, its form is like a bloody iron man .

Ma, I’ll deliver the final blow .

I aim at the dented metal head .

Dropping the crimson ax blade down, I destroy it .

A silvery black fluid flows out of the head .

So, I try to look at Rollo, but she’s already run off in search of new prey .

She’s switched over to a chasing game now .

The dark brown cloaks have all turned away and are fleeing, one by one they give a bone sword in the back .

That…

One of the people in a dark brown cloak doesn’t flee but turns around to face Rollodinu .

There is only one thieve remaining .

Alone? Isn’t he brave?

They throw off their hood . Eh? They’re a woman?

“Ahhhhh, Totto-”

Totto? The hell is Totto?
