Chapter 34
My strategy worked.
To the extent that it’s too great for a rushed thing.
―Keek!
─Chee!
Aggro was dragged by Travis’ stoning, and two cockatrices followed him.
Travis ran with all his might, with his face crumpled.
In the meantime, Esilder consistently throws memorization, rendering the two incapacitated for battle.
All that’s left are 7 normal cockatrices and 1 cockatrice battle leader.

Fortunately, Max’s taunts are paying off.
While Max blocks the attacks of the three cockatrices with his shield, Esilder takes on the remaining two cockatrices.
So I’m in a one-on-one confrontation with their leader, Cockatrice Battle Captain.
‘can win.’
be sure
One-on-one can win.
No matter how the Cockatrice battle leader is ‘named’, he is weaker than the real one because he is made of magic.
And I know the perfect strategy for all kinds of ‘named’ monsters.
‘Let’s see.’
The Captain Cockatrice kept a certain distance from me and seemed to search for me.
If you look at this part alone, it is ‘named’.
However, the actual combat power is not overwhelming compared to the general cockatrice.
This guy is also a magic monster, so his actual combat power is about that of a large cockatrice.
The battle captain’s body is covered with hard feathers, but that’s enough to pierce through with my longsword for fighting.
‘I’d rather be happy.’
If it had been a giant centipede, with hardly any swords in its cuticles, it would have never been possible without Siena’s help.
I’m thinking about various things and confronting the battle commander,
“Can I help?”
Siena’s voice came from behind.
I said without taking my eyes off the battle commander.
“no.”
It’s best not to get involved with that pervert.
If it’s just before death, the battle commander is a good enough opponent to win.
“Fufu, that’s right.”
When Siena smiled satisfied like that.
─Chief, cheesy, cheesy!
The Captain Cockatrice let out a scream of terror somewhere and ran towards me.
Again, much faster than a normal cockatrice.
However, my [Observer’s Eye] also recognizes the quick swords of strong men such as Philip and Irene.
Simple attacks such as monsters are easily understood.
‘His stride, looking in the direction the beak is facing… Huh?’
The battle commander wasn’t aiming at me.
His target was Siena behind my back.
‘That pervert elf did something.’
Otherwise, the battle commander who had been confronted with me a while ago would not have rushed to her out of the blue.
Maybe it’s magic.
Not fire or water, but wind?
Anyway, the angry guy is showing his weakness.
It’s definitely a chance
spatula-!
Immediately, he cut off both legs with a long sword for fighting.
—Kee, Kie, Kee, Eek!
Of course, it wasn’t cleanly amputated because it was for dagger, but it seems to have succeeded in breaking his two legs.
As evidence of that, the battle commander fell to the floor with a mournful scream.
While holding the sword, I approached him.
The battle commander looked up at me and wept sadly.
“die.”
Of course, I have no intention of watching.
You have to kill this guy quickly and go help the other teammates.
Immediately, he put strength into the hand holding the long sword and cut off the man’s head.
About a third of the neck was cut off.
Whoo, whoo-!
I swung my sword at the same location one after another, and the battle captain’s head was cut off.
“············”.
There was no grotesque sight, such as blood gushing out like a fountain.
The decapitated corpse of the battle captain disappeared as if it had not existed from the beginning.
―Keek!
─Chee!
Then the general cockatrice began to illuminate.
It screams and shakes its wings and beak wildly.
It’s all full of weaknesses.
Yeah, that’s what the original monster looks like.
I immediately returned to my teammates.
“Max, can you hold out any longer?”
“···Uh, huh.”
Max answered with a shield surrounded by bluish mana.
Cockatrice is tapping the shield over and over again.
Judging from the concentration of mana, it seems that there is still room for it.
He is also a character with the best defense ability.
“Hold on a little longer, I’ll be right there.”
Simultaneously with those words, I ran towards Travis and the two Cockatrices who were playing gangbang.
spatula-.
dealt with quickly
Cockatrice, who was struck by an unexpected surprise, disappeared without a trace, just like the battle commander.
Again, this cockatrice is easy to deal with if there is no ‘named’.
I said while running to Max.
“Travis, support Esilder. I’ll deal with those who are attached to Max.”
“Oh, I see!”
Instead of a stone, Travis now joins Esilder with his main weapon, a javelin.
“Ah, I’m sure I’ll die. I really thought I was going to die.”
As if he had run out of memorization, Esilder drew a dagger and was confronted with Cockatrice.
‘Then that’s it.’
I walked up to Cockatrice pounding on Max’s tower shield.
I’m already pretty tired.
However, even in this state, as long as there are no ‘named’ monsters, a normal Cockatrice can be dealt with.
With that thought in mind, I approached Cockatrice.
─Chi, hey!
─Ahhhhh!
Their movements temporarily stopped.
‘no. It’s not about stopping.’
got caught
Only screaming, Cockatrice did not move.
‘Is it the spirits of Siena?’
just guessing
Unlike magic, spirits cannot be seen or felt by people without spirit affinity.
Of course, I don’t have it at all, and I don’t even feel it.
‘Anyway, I’m going to move slowly now… That’s what I mean.’
it’s really bad taste
I sighed inwardly, feeding several sharp stabs to the cockatrice’s necks.
Were you stabbed five times per bastard?
They disappeared as if they did not exist from the beginning, just like the battle captain.
I move towards Esilder and Travis, giving Sienna a glance.
·······She just smiles at me.
‘It doesn’t look real. It’s not like I’m the only one on a picnic.’
He looked away immediately, and immediately joined Esilder and Travis.
But as soon as I got near Cockatrice,
—Kee, Kee Eek…!
As before, the cockatrice stopped.
“What, you bastards. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Anyway, let’s kill it quickly!”
As if they did not understand the English language, Esilder and Travis tilted their heads and killed Cockatrice.
As a result, there were no Cockatrices left.
we won
“Wow, f*cker! I live, I live!”
“Gee, I’ve been through it for ten years.”
“…Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh.”
Esilder, Travis, and Max rejoice as they hug each other.
‘Strange.’
I looked at my watch with squinted eyes.
It’s been 8 minutes since we met a swarm of Cockatrice.
‘…the instructors who should have arrived in five minutes have not yet arrived.’
What this means is clear.
Other teams are also at risk.
‘This goes as the original work.’
Except for Siena, I told my teammates who were still delighted.
“It’s not over yet. There’s a very high probability that the other teams will be struggling. I understand the joy, but let’s put that joy aside for a moment. Now is the time to go find other motives.”
“But… the other teams would also break the emergency contact crystal… so the instructors wouldn’t have gone to the rescue?”
“Given the fact that the instructor is not coming to us now, it is right to assume that other teams are also facing similar situations. Max, I understand your heart. I finished the battle a while ago, but I think I’d like to rest for a while. But we are warriors. It must be overcome.”
So I encouraged my teammates.
Of course, it is not that it is not difficult for me.
But someone will surely be desperately needing our help.
Originally, the giant centipede was supposed to appear, but a swarm of Cockatrices came out.
The children of this world are going through a changed future because of the butterfly effect I have caused countless times… I think I have some responsibility.
And now I am in a situation where I can help.
The thought of ‘I’ll definitely get a reputation score at this point’ was swallowed up in my mind.
There’s nothing good about tea.
Esilder, Max, and Travis did the maintenance.
It will take a while since I picked up Esilder’s memorization for the match.
Meanwhile, I looked at Siena.
She still looks at me and smiles faintly.
I get goosebumps for some reason.
Damn, you really shouldn’t have anything to do with him.
But the sense of responsibility that lies within has triumphed.
“Can you find another team?”
“Fufu, of course. I have been waiting for you to ask.”
Sienna smiled softly.
“Wait a minute, Theo.”
She closed her eyes for a moment, then said.
“Sylphy is heading this way. There’s another team about 1km away. A human woman with a bow…”
It’s Aisha.
I’m sure it came from the same dungeon.
“Yes, thank you.”
I told the Unhappy Face trio.
“It looks like the maintenance is done, so let’s go right away.”
