The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet

Chapter 257 Desperate situation

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"Mu?"

"You scoundrel!"

Emerging from the shadows, he was immediately noticed by several knights.

The knights drew their swords and charged, but...

"Move! Fireball Multishot!"

He unleashed a fireball that landed at the knights' feet, engulfing them in flames.

The power was restrained, so they probably weren't seriously injured. However, the sudden engulfing in flames succeeded in stopping them in their tracks.

"Everyone!!!"

The pillars of lightning that had begun to discharge started to shimmer blue.

In response, a transparent wall in the shape of a four-sided pyramid formed.

The transparent wall covered everyone, and at its apex, the lightning generated by the four pillars converged.

A foreboding feeling washed over him.

He increased his speed, but...

"Hey, Rain!"

"Huh!?"

Arios came slashing at him.

Unlike the others, his speed was on a whole different level.

He couldn't dodge it and had to block it with Kamui.

"Get out of the way, Arios!"

"No, thanks. It's time for an enjoyable show. You should watch too, Rain."

"What...?"

Arios snapped his fingers.

In sync with his motion, the four pillars began to shine.

The light converged at the apex of the four-sided pyramid...

Immediately after, it poured down on him in the form of lightning!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Among those who couldn't move, only Tania could spread her wings.

She extended her wings to shield everyone...

The lightning struck her directly in the back.

It damaged Tania's back and wings as if it were a wild blade.

"Kuh..."

When the lightning subsided, he saw Tania, who was in a sorry state.

Everyone screamed.

"Tania! Are you okay? Hey, are you okay?"

"Shut up... I'm a dragonkin. I'm different from cat spirits like Kanade... This much... ah."

"Don't push yourself! Sora and the others are currently experiencing reduced abilities due to the magic restraints!"

"That's right! It's impossible to remain unscathed after receiving such an attack!"

"Even if so.... I'm.. I'm okay..."

Through the transparent wall, Tania looked in his direction.

"Rain, we're fine... So, please defeat that hero!"

"Tania... Kuh!"

He cranked up his body's gears several notches.

He swung Kamui with all his might and clashed with Arios.

"Hahaha, you're looking better now."

"Shut up!!!"

"But your movements are sloppier than before, right? You must be really concerned about those guys."

"I told you to shut up!!!"

With Arios snapping his fingers again...

Lightning poured down once more...

"Unyaaaaa!!!"

Within her confinement, Kanade forcibly moved her body to kick up the pouring lightning. No matter how much of a cat spirit she was, she couldn't nullify the magic. Moreover, her abilities were currently restricted.

"Auuuuu!!!"

The lightning coursed through Kanade's body.

It was as if she were being slashed by a sword. Kanade's face twisted, and she let out a scream.

Tania shouted loudly.

"Kanade! Why are you being so reckless!?"

"Auu... I don't want to hear that from you, Tania."

"I'm fine! Even though my magic was suppressed, I'm a dragonkin, so I have some resistance to magic. But as for you, a cat spirit..."

"Unyaa... It hurts a lot..."

"Then, why...!?"

"I can't let Tania endure all the pain alone."

"Kanade..."

"We're comrades... always together, no matter what."

"Kuh..."

Encouraged by Kanade's determination despite being in such a sorry state, Tania struggled to break the restraints. However, she couldn't escape from the shackles that held her body and magic in check.

"What a wonderful friendship; it's quite touching. But I wonder how much more you can endure?"

"Arios, you...!!!"

"Hahaha, Rain, your movements have become sloppy again. Do you think you can defeat me like that?"

Arios's strategy was to torment everyone, enraging Rain and clouding his judgment, it seemed.

He understood that. He understood it, but...

"Damn it!!!"

He couldn't stop his anger from flaring up. His precious comrades were being hurt and subjected to such suffering... He couldn't remain calm!

"Gravity manipulation! Matter creation!"

He had to defeat Arios quickly! For that, he had to use all the abilities he possessed.

He doubled the gravity on Arios, and then created a wall of earth around him, sealing his movements.

In this state, if he could cast a spell...

"You seem to be boiling with anger to the core, huh? Are those people that important to you?"

"Of course! You stay down here, don't fool around anymore!"

"Good grief, Rain. That's why you're no good."

"!?"

Suddenly, he felt a surge of killing intent from the side. He reflexively held Kamui like a shield.

Immediately after, a shockwave as if a carriage had collided with him ran through him. He couldn't withstand it and was blown away.

"Ignite! Trans! Holy Arrow!"

A red and white double strike came flying at him. He couldn't dodge or block it in his disoriented state.

"Guah!?"

The magic struck him directly, causing intense pain throughout his body.

"You're shouting 'comrades, comrades' so loudly, but... I have comrades too. Did you forget about that?"

Aggus, Lin, and Mina, the three of them, were standing behind Arios.

Damn it... To forget about the three of them...

He wouldn't usually make such a mistake!

His abilities were canceled when he fell, and Arios escaped from the earth wall, regaining his freedom.

"Hahaha, you look so pathetic down on the ground like that, Rain. It suits you."

"Arios... You...!!!"

"I can't help it; I can't help but worry about my opponent who's been cornered to this extent. Really... You're such an annoying guy with your hypocritical attitude. Come on, thoroughly corner that guy!"

Arios probably wanted to see Rain kill the knights who were just following his orders. If that happened, the charges of rebellion would be officially applied, and above all, it would be enjoyable for him.

But... he wouldn't meet those expectations.

Even if it was to save everyone, he couldn't take lives that had nothing to do with it. If he did something like that, he wouldn't be worthy of standing beside Kanade and Tania, who sacrificed themselves to protect their comrades.

He absolutely wouldn't do what Arios expected.

But...

If things continued like this, he was at an impasse. Sooner or later, he would be cornered, take a decisive blow, and it would be over. Before that happened, he had to somehow defeat Arios or save everyone. Damn it, what should he do?

He couldn't think of a way to break the situation. He was being pushed into a corner with no way out.

TL Note- Rain looks in a dire state but will soon receive a unexpected aid.
