101-Episode 20: You'Ll Understand Even If You Don'T Like It
As they were moving through the plains, a huge shadow loomed from the sky.
''Oaaaaaah!''
Hmm, a wyvern.
It is a reddish-brown scaled wyvern, which is not often seen.
It's a bit bigger than the usual green wyvern, at about three meters in length.
It seemed to regard me as its prey, and was descending towards me at high speed.
"'Flying Blade'
Gagya!
When the blade flew off, the fuselage was neatly cut in half.
It split up and down and crashed to the ground.
Further on, this time I heard the rumbling of the earth.
The ground was vibrating and it was getting closer and closer.
''Hm??There are demons in the ground too?
When it eventually came right up to my feet, I stabbed my sword into the earth.
''~~~~?
I thought I heard a scream of astonishment and anguish coming from all over the ground.
Even so, the momentum just didn't stop, the ground rose up and a part of the demon appeared on the ground.
A round, hairy head.
Probably a mole-type demon.
My sword had pierced through my brain, and I was already doomed.
I proceeded onward.
Then something like a wall stood in front of me.
''What's this?''
Bright green.
It is lined with a diamond-shaped pattern and is about one meter high.
It's not a straight line, it's too rounded to be called a fence, and it's not straight, it's snaking around to the left and right.
When I touched it, it was very elastic.
I don't think there are any artifacts in such a place but....
''Shaaaaaaah!
Its identity was revealed when both sides of the wall were lifted and a sharp, threatening sound was heard.
There was a huge snake with a sickle-neck on its back.
''I see, so this was the body of a giant snake.
And it seems that the tail doesn't exist and both sides are heads.
They attacked me from both sides at the same time.
'Explosions x 2'
Dodo-O-O-On!
''~~~~?''
Two explosions erupted and their heads were blown off at the same time.
All that was left was its long torso.
I jumped over it and went further.
? ? ? ?
God, you always seem to be too trusting, leader.
Yeah, exactly. I'm trying to tell you what to do, but you refuse to listen to me. You should be ashamed of yourself, you know.
Yeah, yeah. And I can't believe you're following me all the way down here.
Well, don't say that. It's just a young man.?It's understandable that you're overconfident, and it's better to have a painful experience for the future. But if you're alone, you're dead and that's the end of it.
In the adventuring world, the A-list party "Frontline" is well known.
The leader of the group, Blake, a Class A adventurer, was a self-respecting good-natured person, despite his stern appearance.
The reason I advised that young man earlier was really out of concern for him.
He had seen such a bloodthirsty young man lose his life so easily in the past, so he couldn't leave him alone.
The members have complained, but none of them are serious about it.
They were half-amused by their leader, but good understanding.
Incidentally, as an A-ranked party, the least they could do was to eliminate any sign of their presence.
Even if it was this plain with a clear view, there was no way that that young man in front of them would notice them.
''Well, in any case, once you fight the first demon, you'll realize that you don't want to,''
That's when one of the members cowered his shoulders, thinking that the stranger young man's amulet wouldn't be around for much longer.
''Oaaaaaah!''
Gliding from the sky was a reddish brown scaled wyvern.
It was called the Red Wyvern, and it was bigger and more rabid than the normal wyvern.
Moreover, those reddish-brown scales were extremely hard, and even a top-notch swordsman would not be able to scratch it so easily.
''It's unfortunate that it's a Red Wyvern all of a sudden.
If it's not, your first attack will be fatal.
The members of the front line were a little flustered by the appearance of one of the strongest enemies among the demons appearing on the outermost part of the plains.
''Guggah!''
But in the next moment, for some reason, the Red Wyvern let out a scream and its torso was cut in half.
As it was, it crashed into the ground in a grand manner.
''.........What?''
They were stunned with their mouths open, unable to understand what the hell had happened.
''What just happened...?''
How did you suddenly get cut in half...?
In the midst of all this, only Blake, a ?Higher Level? Heavenly Swordsman, correctly grasped what happened in front of him.
''Keh, he swung his sword........''
What?
'That young man ... it was only for a moment, but it looked like he pulled his sword out of its scabbard and flashed it at me ... it felt like ...'
But he didn't see it clearly either, and even he seemed to be skeptical.
"No, no, no, no, no matter how you look at it, I didn't do anything, did I?
I think so.
Look, the sword is still in its scabbard.
One after the other, they would argue against it.
To the other three, it seemed as if the Red Wyvern had been cut in half on its own.
''Dude, first of all, there's no way it can reach you if you swing your sword, right??We were so far apart.
'That's true, but...'
Hey, hey, hey, he's getting away!
The young men had already moved on as if nothing had happened.
They hurriedly followed him.
