Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 192.4

I finally reached Rank 5 and caught up with Nero, a Phantom Beast, in terms of combat power, and for some reason, Nero was in a good mood knowing that I had caught up with him, but from Jesha’s point of view, I guess she felt as if she had been surpassed by someone who had been in the same rank until recently.

The only thing that improved in my skill level was [Dagger Arts], but I also reached level 5 in [Detection] during the assassination battle in the dungeon. I wonder if the reason I got a high level of [Abnormal Condition Resistance] was because of how tough the battles have been since I came to this desert.

“[Yes], that’s too light of a response from you… unsociable disciple. You’ve overtaken your master’s combat power as well, so you should be at least a little happy.”

Master said that with a dumbfounded look on her face, but I quietly shook my head.

“No. This is still not enough.”

I muttered to myself, and my mentor and Jesha looked at me with dismay. But I need something else to beat that girl.

“Master…I have a technique in mind.”

I pointed out lightly, and her eyes widened when she heard my explanation.

***

Ten days have passed since the four of us entered Reiz Veil.

So far, things are going quite well. The closer we got to the center, the more powerful monsters appeared, but the higher ranked monsters were fewer and not as much of a threat.

Even so, there were monsters that swarmed as a race. A Rank 5 monster, which seemed to be a higher rank of ogre, appeared leading several ogres, but–

“–[Dancing Ripper]–!”

[Gooooooooooooo!!!]

The eight consecutive blows of the deadly blade attacked the higher species of ogre and cut its flesh apart. Although the higher species quickly used a distorted large sword made of monster material to block its vital points, it was still pushed back by the attack and was shredded.

[GAAAAAAH!!!].

The Nero’s claws cut off its neck, finishing it off easily, and the ogres under its command, hearing its decisive scream, fled like scattered spiders.

Even a Rank 5 monster would not be a frightening enemy if I and Nero, who were also Rank 5, were to fight it. Although it was not an opponent that we could let our guard down, we could deal with more than one opponent if Nero and I went forward, Jesha protected Master, and Master’s magic was used to control his subordinates.

But–

“…that’s not good.”

“Ah.”

I affirmed that to Jesha, who came forward and said, so after the enemy was gone.

The path we had taken was one of the paths in the ruins with a low rate of monster appearances, a path used by the Demons to pass through with their armies. Master knew this path as well, and that was why he had come through here.

However, the number of monsters increased as we approached the center of the site. Some of the monsters were moving in packs like ogres, but even the ogres seemed to have been “chased out” by something from the other side.

It was as if a powerful presence in the direction of Cutlass was heading this way….

“It looks like it’s coming…”

–Here–

I saw a cloud of dust far ahead. Then immediately I also felt a ground shaking as if something huge were moving.

A group of multiple armored dragons. Those same armored dragons were… part of the Demon Army. I could tell by the killing intent on my skin that they came here to block our path.

Since there were no enemies chasing after us from behind, Aishe must have successfully suppressed the army from the fortress. But a part of them that could not be suppressed informed the army stationed in Cutlass.

Most of the demon army had retreated when Aishe returned to the fortress, but they still left a part of their army behind to keep Cutlass secured.

The number itself should be no more than fifty. But the problem was not the army itself.

I recognized that shadow that appeared from behind them raising a huge amount of dust in the air.

“…the Earth Dragon…”

[Guoooaaaaaah!!!]
