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

Chapter 104-: The Hero ...(Part 1)

(TL By GUST)

After leaving the city of Horizon, Arios and his group moved south.

　Go through the stride bridge to the South Continent.

　Then I arrived at the city of River End near the bridge.

　River End is a small city compared to Horizon.

　There is no particular industry like this, and it is not a tourist destination.

　If I force you to mention it, it means that it is a lodging place for people who travel across the continent.

　River End is the first city to reach across the South Continent.

　Most travelers stop by the city to heal the tiredness of their trip.

　So, in a sense, River End is an important city.

　At that river end, I was now suffering from the existence of monsters.

　After going down the river end ... there, a group of C-ranked monsters appeared.

　If it is a C-rank monster alone, it is not such a threat.

　If you are an adventurer of the same C rank, you can almost certainly repel.

　But when it comes to herds, the story is different.

　According to the reconnaissance of the knights at the river end, there are about 30 C-rank monsters.

　In addition, D-rank and E-rank monsters are also gathered, and there are about 100 in total.

　It was as strong as the army.

　Normally, it is impossible for monsters without intelligence to flock.

　Even among the same family, sometimes cannibalism is a monster.

　But there are exceptions.

　Stampede.

　The demons obsessed with the urge to destroy form a flock, creating a storm of calamity that swallows everything.

　It is said that there are various things such as the sign of Rebirth of the Demon King and the arrival of the end, but the cause is unknown.

　Only one.

　What we know is that once stampede occurs, it causes tremendous damage.

　The swarm of monsters near the river end was undoubtedly a precursor to stampede.

　If left as it is, the number of monsters will increase further ...

　When a certain point is exceeded, it will avalanche like a tsunami and swallow the deadline at all.

　Before that happens, you have to subdue all the monsters.

　And it was ... Arios and others who were given that role.

　Arios wasn't interested in subduing the demons.

　Even if stampede happened, I was going to leave if it didn't matter.

　However, rumors that "the brave men abandoned the city", which was born in the city of Horizon, had flowed to the river end.

　It's still in the rumor stage, and it's not that something really went wrong.

　However, it is a bad idea to leave it as it is.

　So, although it can't be helped, I undertook the subjugation of the monsters ...

"That's annoying ... Gigabolt!"

　Arios casts thunder magic that can only be used by heroes.

　Like a dragon crawling on the ground, an electric shock sprinted and turned several monsters into charcoal.

　Continue to take the sword and shake it to cut the wind.

　The leg of the auger attacking with a roar is cut off.

　Todome's blow to the place where he got sick.

　The auger died after being pierced through his head.

"Nuuun !!!"

　Aggas received the assault of multiple monsters using a huge sword as a shield.

　Use your whole body and play back ...

　Nagi the big sword to the side.

　The monsters whose bodies are cut off.

　However, it did not come true to cause fatal wounds to all monsters.

　The surviving monster regains its position and tries to attack again ...

　It was reading.

"Lean!"

"I know! Look, I'm going ... Red Crimson!"

　Lean's magic exploded, blowing away the surviving monsters.

"Hmm, I'm dealing with such a small fish ..."

"Still, don't let your guard down!"

"Hey? ...... Chaa !?"

　A lizardman jumped out of the explosion.

　The sword is swung down.

　Lean jumped sideways and barely avoided it, but there was no next.

　The second slash attacks Lean ...

"Holy Arrow!"

　Prior to that, Mina's magic extinguished the lizardman.

"Are you okay!?"

"Uh, yeah ... Thank you so much."

"I told you, don't let your guard down."

"It just happened! I'll never do this again."

"Hey, don't play! There are still enemies left."

"know"

In Arios' words, each held their weapons again.

　... Arios and the others who left Horizon and arrived at the River End were relied on by the people of the city there.

　There are signs of stampede, so I want you to subdue the hordes of monsters now.

　Now the adventurers are out and no one else can count on ...

　Why do I, the brave man, have to take on such miscellaneous things?

　Arios was initially reluctant, but ...

　The notoriety that was born in Horizon was spreading to the river end because of merchants and travelers.

　If nothing is done, it could be the second dance of Horizon.

　Therefore, I decided to undertake the subjugation.

　Originally, it was supposed to be a simple request.

　It's a pain to deal with stampede, but ...

　If it's a precursor to that, it's not a big deal for Arios.

　All you have to do is kick it off with overwhelming firepower.

　It's a job that will end soon.

　……I thought so.

　But what about the reality?

　Arios and the others had a little trouble with the hordes of monsters, though it wasn't a difficult battle.

　It is unlikely that you will lose one-on-one.

　Even if there are multiple opponents, you will not lose.

　If you are sure of your experience ...

　Arios cuts in and Aggas undertakes the enemy's attack.

　Mina assists and Lean finally wipes out with advanced magic.

　That pattern should have worked.

　But what about the reality?

　When I tried to connect, the enemy got in the way as I aimed.

　My friends are targeted at the right time, and I can't take the next step.

　Why doesn't it work?

　One step further, I stumbled somewhere.

　It's like being mischievous by God.

(This is ... maybe)

　Arios and the others are frustrated because they can't fight well ...

　Only Aggas was thinking about things calmly alone.

　Ourselves now and ourselves before.

　What is different?

　...... The existence of Rain.

　Rain couldn't do any damage to the enemy.

　However, it was a mess that was targeted by the enemy and bothered the hands of allies.

　But ... wasn't that idea wrong?

　Isn't Rain not able to damage the enemy because he prioritized the support of his allies over the attack?

　Thanks to that, we could have successfully connected with each other.

　And wasn't Rain targeted because the enemy knew that Rain was the cornerstone of the party?

(No way ...)

　Aggas denies his thoughts himself.

　However, even if I try to deny it, the possibility that once came to my mind does not disappear.

　Rather, is that right? I was starting to think.

　When I think about it calmly now, there was such a place.

　It is a certain fact that Rain had no power.

　However, he was aware of it and was trying to support the party in another way.

　Enter the support of allies at the perfect timing, and sometimes dare to be targeted by the enemy and be hit instead of allies ...

　In every sense, Rain might have been the "shield" of his friends.

(... No, I think too much. It can't be, there can't be)

　Aggas shook his head and denied his thoughts this time.

　There can be no such thing.

　If it really happened ...

　The ones who banished Rain would be a ridiculous idiot who couldn't see the essence.

　No such thing is allowed.

　Aggas decided not to think any further.

――――――――――

"Wipe it all together !!!"

　At the signal of Arios, Aggas, Lean, and Mina pulled back.

　Arios unleashes advanced magic before confirming it.

"Lunatic Bolt !!!"

　The greatest thunder struck from heaven.

　In addition, lightning dances to follow it.

　The raging dance of light swallowed and extinguished a flock of demons.

"Huh ... huh ... is this the end?"

　Arios wipes his sweat and looks around.

　Due to the current magic, dust is flying and visibility is extremely poor.

　I can't see a meter away.

　I'm wary of survivors, but ...

"Gee !!!"

"Arios, behind!"

"What !?"

An auger appeared from behind to make a gap for Arios.

　Swing up a huge fist and Arios ...

"Nyan"

"……what?"

　Something quick ran through.

　Immediately after that, the auger crushes his head and collapses.

　He died as it was and became a magic stone.

　What happened?

　Arios hurriedly looked around.

　However, the dust is still flying and I'm not sure.

"What do you mean ... what is it now ...?"

　...... I felt like I could see a little cat ears at the edge of my field of vision.
