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

Chapter 314 VS Monica

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

"Rifa, can you do it?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

Even though it must have been shocking for her to see her older brother in such a state, Rifa was a strong girl.

With tears of sadness in her eyes, she still faced forward, showing her determination to fight.

"Okay, Rifa, you team up with Tania to take care of the small fry. And then..."

"Wait. I... I'll fight with my big brother."

"Rifa? No, but that's..."

"If I don't free my big brother... If it's not me, it won't work."

"...Alright."

Even though she must be hurting more than anyone else. Even though she should be crying. Still, she's trying to move forward.

We can't stop Rifa like that. All we can do is support her.

"Tania. Sora."

"Yeah, leave it to us."

"We'll support Rifa properly."

Both of them seem to understand immediately. They nod firmly and reliably. Their faces are filled with anger. They must be furious at the forbidden arts of Weiss that dehumanizes the people.

"Okay, Rifa, Tania, and Sora, you handle the demon tribe folks who are being controlled by Weiss."

"Yeah, leave it to us."

"Kanade and Luna, take care of Monica. She's somewhere creepy. Please be careful."

"Meow~!"

"Hehe, I'll make them regret their foolish actions!"

"Nina and Tina, take care of the small fry around us."

"Leave it... to us."

"We'll show 'em!"

They patiently waited for us to give instructions. There seems to be a hint of contempt, even explaining their abilities as if they're underestimating us.

If they underestimate us, then so be it. We'll make them regret their foolish actions.

"Everyone... Let's do this!"

""Yeah!!!""

――――――――――

"Meow!"

Kanade understood well Rain's words about Monica being a creepy opponent.

There was no doubt that she was just a human.

However, her depth was unfathomable.

How much power does she possess?

What kind of abilities does she have?

It's as if they're hidden behind her calm smile, completely unpredictable.

So, Kanade decided to go without hesitation.

From the start, she went all out, full power.

She charged in at a speed so fast that it left afterimages, causing shockwaves that cracked the stone floor.

With the same momentum, she raised her fist even higher.

"Take this...!"

Impact.

Kanade's fist caught Monica's chest.

Monica still wore her smile...

And then, in the next moment, her body shattered into pieces.

"Nya!?"

Did she go too far with her momentum...?

Kanade involuntarily froze.

She sweated profusely, feeling uneasy, getting confused inadvertently.

However, Luna remained calm.

"Kanade, she's an illusion!"

"Huh?"

"Hehe, correct."

The voice came from Kanade's right.

She reflexively swung her fist, but it only swung through the empty air.

"Eh? Why... Ahh!?"

"This time you missed."

Monica appeared from Kanade's left.

Seemingly oozing out of nowhere, Monica's figure appeared and sliced through Kanade's shoulder with a sword.

By instantly moving her body away, Kanade managed to avoid major injuries.

However, Monica's unpredictable movements left Kanade greatly confused.

"The voice came from the right...!"

"Kanade, calm down! She's probably using illusion-based magic."

"Can't you counter it?"

"No!"

"Why do you sound proud? Nya!"

Though Luna seemed to be babbling, she was calmly observing the situation, desperately analyzing it in her mind.

"What's going on...? The initial body was an illusion created by magic... But what about the subsequent voice? Creating auditory hallucinations, then making herself disappear, and furthermore... Hmm? Generating illusions of such magnitude requires... not just magical power but also technical skill..."

"Nya, now she's coming from all directions!?"

Monica split into eight, attacking Kanade from all sides simultaneously.

Despite being a cat spirit tribe with astonishing physical abilities, avoiding this seemed impossible.

Kanade received injuries all over her body.

"Is that all? The strongest species doesn't seem to be much."

"Argh! That's it! I'll show you the power of the strongest species!"

Kanade leaped up and soared high above.

She rotated in the air and fell headfirst.

Just before hitting the ground, she thrust her fist forcefully into the floor.

Boom! A deafening roar echoed, and shockwaves scattered around.

"Huh!?"

Luna noticed something.

"Kanade, do another one!"

"Eh? Oh, okay!"

As instructed, Kanade jumped into the air again and slammed the ground once more.

Shockwaves spread, and Monica's illusions wavered.

Seeing this, Luna realized her theory was correct.

"Kanade, they're all illusions!"

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"That Monica person isn't here at all! She's activating illusion magic remotely! So, there's no point in thinking of hitting her main body! "

"Is, is that possible!?"

"I'm surprised too... but there's no other explanation for the current phenomenon. That Monica person isn't here, she's activating illusion magic remotely and dealing with us. Moreover, all those illusions have substantial bodies, making them quite troublesome. Don't underestimate them!"

"This is insane!"

Screaming, Kanade knocked down the approaching Monica.

However, she felt no resistance, and the illusions dissipated like morning mist.

But from the shadow of a pillar, a new Monica emerged.

Their numbers increased with time...

Kanade and Luna were now surrounded by more than ten Monicas.

"Oh, you've figured out my ability. Impressive indeed. When dealing with spirit tribes, any magic we use is easily laid bare. You know what kind of magic we're using."

"For someone so confident, you seem rather unconcerned."

"Do you understand why I'm so confident?"

"Ugh."

Luna gritted her teeth in frustration.

Seeing her comrades like this, Kanade felt a sense of foreboding.

"Hey, Luna. If we understand the principle, can't we beat her? Can't we do something?"

"...No, we can't."

"Huh!?"

"We've only understood that she's using illusion magic remotely. We still don't know how she's making it possible. Given enough time, we might understand the mechanism... but..."

"Hehe, I won't give you that time."

"Oh!"

Now Luna also became a target of attack and hurriedly ran to Kanade.

She was good with magic, but not so much with close combat.

"Meow!"

"Ignite Javelin!"

Kanade's fist and Luna's magic shattered the illusions of three Monicas.

However, as if laughing at their resistance, four new illusions of Monica appeared.

"It's endless!"

"Nevertheless, we have to keep going. We can't leave this troublesome opponent to Rain."

"Yeah... we have to do our best."

"It seems you're motivated."

"You're quite composed!"

"Do you think you can defeat us so easily!?"

"Indeed, I don't have such an inflated opinion of myself. My role is to engage with you. Dealing with both a cat spirit tribe and a spirit tribe is troublesome. To ensure you don't pose a threat to Lord Weiss, I'll keep you occupied here."

Saying so, Monica's illusions attacked all at once.

Kanade and Luna fought back while trying to find an opening.

However, Monica was a cunning opponent.

She didn't expose her weaknesses and fought Kanade and Luna with solid tactics.

As mentioned earlier, her goal wasn't to defeat them but to keep them occupied.

Knowing this, Kanade and Luna felt frustrated.

They wanted to defeat Monica right away and help Rain as soon as possible.

"Ugh, this is so annoying, nya!"

"I totally agree!"

"Hehe, you're going to have to keep up with me, you know?"

The multiple illusions of Monica laughed mysteriously, each wielding a sword.

TL Note- Monica looks OP.....
