Chapter 8: I didn't want to get close, so I put it in
They surrounded Brandie.
"It's five against one. Give up! You have no chance of winning," urged Rick to surrender.
However, it appeared that Brandie had no intention of surrendering. He prepared his sword and showed a fighting stance.
"Hmph, I won't surrender to the likes of you. I'll take care of you in place of the Demon King."
The battle began.
Sparks flew between the gold-ranked adventurers and Brandie.
"Bloody Cross!"
"Satanic Fire!"
The clash of techniques.
Indeed, Brandie seemed strong, living up to his pride.
Even though he was surrounded, he managed to fend off the fierce attacks of the three.
So that's what it is.
He must have been hiding his true strength until now.
By the way, the reason it's not a five-against-one situation but rather three-against-one is that one of them has been stabbed with a sword and is on the verge of death.
And I'm just watching from a distance.
Because it's dangerous to get involved in such a place.
If I don't use the hole, I'm just a small fry.
"Blue Slash!"
"Elemental Kaiser!"
As they swung their swords while shouting, flames swirled and the ground cracked.
I really have no idea how it works.
I'd rather not get close to things I don't understand.
"What are you doing? Help us!"
The follower girl is yelling something.
She really acts high and mighty. Moreover, it seems like she doesn't understand the situation well.
"You're telling him to help? Don't make unreasonable demands to someone who's on the verge of death," I pointed at the gold-ranked adventurer who was bleeding and looking exhausted.
"No, not him! You!"
Huh? Me?
Oh, if I were to do it, it would be over in an instant.
I can't even interrogate him if I drop him into the hole.
Besides, it's shameless to ask for help from someone you tried to kill.
Well, there's no other choice.
I'll lend a hand.
"Alright!"
As I opened the hole, Brandie's sword was sucked in with a "splotch."
"What!"
"Thank you! Alright, Death Glide!"
Rick delivered a powerful blow aimed at Brandie, who had lost his sword.
However, it seemed to have been obstructed by something invisible.
Rick's sword stopped right in front of Brandie.
Magic, huh?
"Air Hammer!"
"Ugh!"
Brandie released compressed air.
I know that one. It's an intermediate-level wind magic.
Rick, who was blown back and landed after a spin, was bleeding from his mouth.
Oh, come on. It's three against one, and the opponent doesn't even have a weapon. Put in a little more effort.
However, I don't want the protective barrier around me to disappear.
From a safe distance, I decided to continue attacking subtly.
"Alright!"
Brandie's pants were sucked in with a "splosh."
"Hey!"
Brandie seemed disturbed by the sudden disappearance of his pants.
"Now, keep pressing him!"
At my command, the three of them attacked simultaneously.
Brandie could only defend himself. It seems unlikely that he can turn the tables from here.
"Give up. The match is practically over."
"Gugh, I refuse."
However, Rick's persuasion once again failed. Despite being injured, Brandie still maintained his fighting stance.
Quite persistent, I must say.
Very well. Then, next up is the armor and shirt!
"Nowa!"
The armor that was securely fastened with clasps was easily removed once it went into the hole.
Next is the underpants!
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"
Brandie skillfully parried the attacks while swinging his hips.
Oh, this is hilarious.
From today, you shall be called naked Blandie.
"What should I take next~"
There doesn't seem to be much left to take, but let's find something more entertaining.
Something that tramples on his dignity as much as possible.
"Alright, alright. I surrender. Spare me and I'll tell you the truth."
Brandie said that, raising both his hands into the air.
Phew.
It was a perfect victory, wasn't it?
