Chapter 18: Two Battles
"Here we go!" Ellie enveloped Marianne's pistol’s barrel with light.
Afterwards, with incredible speed, Shuu dove towards Aelusdro and swung down his poisonous dagger.
"Oh no, you won't. Light Shot!" Marianne fired a distracting shot, preventing Shuu's attack, and unleashed a barrage of glowing bullets.
The bullets accurately targeted the weakened areas of Shuu's defense, inflicting significant damage.
"Guuuugh!"
"I wish you would wake up from this dream already."
"Let's go... Triple Slash!" The Shuu rapidly fired the poisonous daggers hidden in his possession towards Ellie and Rudolf.
Seemingly intending to take out the two of them first, as they were pure magic users.
"You two, I will protect you!" Aelusdro raised their shield and shielded Rudolf and Ellie.
"Ugh... Poison! But it doesn't affect me!"
However, as a dark elf, Rudolf possessed a strong resistance to poison.
"O mighty spirit of the earth, raise your fist! Earth Blast!" Rudolf borrowed the power of the earth spirit and hurled a large amount of rubble at Shuu, sending him staggering back.
"Oh flames..."
"Oryaaaaaah!"
"Gahaa!" With the support of Yumir's magic, Miro swung her flaming claws towards Shuu, setting him and his clothes ablaze.
"It's over now! Enchanting Slash!!"
"Uaaaahhhhhh!!" And then, with his sword imbued with magical power, Aelusdro cleaved through Shuu with great force.
"...ku...ugh."
The battle with Shuu ended surprisingly uneventfully. He remained on the brink of death, restrained by Aelusdro's magic.
"Now, Shuu, surrender to my command. Rest assured, I am not a demon who kills surrendered enemies."
"You... won't... succeed...!"
Despite being bound, Shuu desperately brushed off Marianne's words.
"I would rather die... than...!" Saying that, Shuu took out a potion from his pocket.
"What do you intend to do?!"
"To take my own life...!" It seemed that Shuu intended to drink the potion and commit suicide.
"Stop it!"
"Cease!" Aelusdro and Marianne both tried to stop Shuu together.
Shuu still tried to resist, but his depleted strength made it futile, and he was easily subdued.
"Ugh... damn...!"
"Now, let us go together to the Nagal region~♪" Marianne carried Shuu on her back, intending to leave the cave.
"...Step back."
"Huh... kyaa!" Shuu seemed to have noticed something and instructed everyone to step back.
Suddenly, right in front of them, a demon and a horde of monsters appeared.
"The demons have arrived!?"
"I think that demon is the boss of these monsters..."
"We will defeat the monsters, so Aelusdro and Marianne, protect Shuu!"
"Understood." Yumir entrusted Shuu to Aelusdro and Marianne, while facing the army of monsters together with Miro and the others.
"Sweep them away!" Miro released beams of light from her hand, launching a collective attack on a swarm of imps.
"La Rota do Igni!"
"Kikiiii!" Yumir fired fireballs from her staff, defeating the critically wounded imps.
"O spirit of courage, grant her courage! Fanaticism!" Ellie chanted spirit magic, enhancing Miro's physical abilities.
The remaining monsters focused their attacks on Miro, but with her enhanced physical abilities and Ellie accurately using her light shield, she avoided any fatal injuries.
"Crumble!" After kicking up the imps, Miro leaped high into the air and tore them apart with his claws. With the support of Yumir's magic, the claws of wind shredded the last imp, and the imps were completely annihilated.
"Alright, the remaining ones are..."
"Just slimes and the boss demon."
"I think we'll be fine with the demon, but we need to be careful of the slimes' slime."
The body of a slime is highly acidic, rendering armor useless against its bodily fluids. Additionally, its elastic body makes it almost impervious to physical attacks.
Since a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, we need to quickly defeat them with magic.
"O spirit of water, reach out and engulf it! Swamp!" Rudolf borrowed the power of the water spirit, summoning a marsh beneath the slime's feet, immobilizing it.
"Hit your mark!" Miro accurately shot through the weak points of two slimes with beams of light. She then slashed the first slime with her claws and delivered a powerful blow, splitting the second slime in half and dealing a shockwave of damage to the demon.
"Ah...!"
"Watch out, Miro! Do Geit de Terra Ma Gi!" Immediately after, the slime extended its arm and tried to grab Miro, attempting to drag her in. However, Yumir shot a magical arrow at the slime's arm, preventing her from being swallowed.
"That was close. Ugh, my hands feel slimy..." Miro pulled her arm away from the slime and felt discomfort from its slimy touch. Yumir reassured her, saying, "I'll take care of it later," and shot a magic arrow at the slime.
"O spirit of ice, turn into arrows and pierce through! Ice Bolt!" Rudolf chanted the spell and swung his staff, causing numerous icy arrows to pierce through the slime, freezing it solid.
"O spirit of water, heal her wounds! Healing Water!"
"Thank you!" Ellie used healing magic to treat Miro's wounds, and Miro charged towards the last slime.
"Here we go! Normacy!" Miro tore through the slime with her claws and finally delivered a massive lightning strike, defeating the slime.
"Alright, just one more!"
"Gwaaaaaaahhhh...!"
With only the boss demon remaining, it called forth a horde of lesser demons.
"What?! There are still more of them!?"
"Never let your guard down."
"Ugh, seriously! We have to deal with these guys somehow!"
Annoyed, Miro launched beams of light at the swarm of lesser demons.
"This shows how powerful the demon army is. O spirit of wind, deliver an unseen impact! Wind Blast!"
Rudolf summoned the spirit of wind and attacked the boss demon.
In response, the boss demon swung its greatsword and swept Miro and the others away.
"Uwaaaaahhhh!"
"No, nooo!"
"Kyaaaaah!"
"Phewww!"
Struck by the greatsword's blow, the four of them were sent flying.
Seeing the four stagger, the boss demon rushed towards Aelusdro and Marianne, intending to kill Shuu.
"Damn it... I won't let you kill Shuu!"
Aelusdro intercepted the boss demon's greatsword with his shield and unleashed a shockwave, momentarily stopping the boss demon's movement.
"Now, it's time for healing!"
"Alright! O superior spirit of life, bestow your healing protection upon us! Elixir Mist!"
Using the power of the superior spirit of life, Priscilla, Ellie instantly healed the wounds everyone had sustained, fully restoring them.
They managed to escape from the dire situation, but as a consequence, Ellie's magical power greatly diminished, and she had lost almost all ability to use healing magic.
They needed to settle the battle quickly and escape from the cave.
The lesser demons cast dark magic towards Shuu, but Yumir and Rudolf created a magic barrier to protect him.
"Anyway, we just need to defeat the boss. Let's finish this quickly and take Shuu with us."
After evading the boss demon's attacks, Miro tore it apart with her claws.
Her attack power had significantly increased, causing a rapid depletion of the boss demon's health.
"Miro-san..."
"...Sorry, but you're going to die. This is the finishing blow."
With a cold expression, Miro delivered the finishing blow to the boss demon.
"Now, only the lesser demons remain... Well, now that the boss is gone, we can defeat them without worry."
With the boss demon defeated, the remaining lesser demons were mere small fry.
Rudolf and the others easily annihilated the lesser demons.
"We're safe now. Let's leave the cave while we still can."
"Ah... yes..."
"Just leave it to me for now♪" After Marianne shouldered Shuu, Rudolf used a speed-enhancing magic on everyone to quickly exit the cave.
