Chapter 15: Chapter 15. Former hero・Showdown! Demon race

“Ka……Haa……”

Yunikram who has fallen vomits blood from his mouth.

The abdomen portion of his imposing looking armor was smash to pieces, and the fragments have pierced him mercilessly.

It’s due to Laurier’s fist.

“YUNIKRAM! YOU!!”

Leon shouts and slashes at Laurier.

However, it’s still blocked by the shield of air, Air?Shield as before.

“Oo! As expected of the Hero. Your power went up compared to just now.”

Laurier raises a voice of pleasure.

“However, it still has a long way to go.”

Laurier takes a look at the 2 beautiful woman from Leon’s companion with a glance.

“You bastard! Keep your hands off Aura and Caroline!”

“Is that, the name of those female companion?

Does the power come out after all when a woman is injured?”

“Silence! I will not let you do such a thing!”

Against the invisible shield of air, Air?Shield, Leon presses his sword to the very limit.

However, the tip of the sword doesn’t reach Laurier.

Laurier says provocative things to such a Leon.

That fellow is over there.

To the hero who wakes up and brushes it off, he would say, ‘S, Stupid……an expectation like this’, among other type of thing.

“With my name, roar, shock wave blast.”

Laurier casts a new magic, and the surrounding was struck with violent aerial explosion.

The hero’s group cannot withstand it and was blown away.

The residual waves from the shock wave even reaches us who were watching from the surrounding at a distance.

“Uwa”

“Kyaa”

I hide Sharon behind me immediately.

Sharon grips the hem of my clothes tightly.

Is it OK to also embrace her with my arms over there?

And, it’s no time to be making jokes.

“And that’s that too……..

Should I understand that I also have to settle the people who are watching from the surrounding together?”

Laurier’s spearhead turns towards this way too.

‘I do not care even if I kill you as I please’, I could feel those indication in that line of sight.

This already falls outside of waiting for the hero who doesn’t comprehend, and whether or not he wakes up.

Was it still alright for Yunikram’s case? As much as I don’t mean it, but I do not want to see the 2 beautiful women from Leon’s party getting injured.

“Guu……”

Although Leon who was blown off is trying to stand up, was it because there is no strength? He couldn’t stand up well.

Was it Aura and Caroline? Though I do not know which is which, it feels like the female knight is in the same state too.

The one who is like a priest, remains unconscious after falling like this.

It seems like that was the power of the magic alone.

“It’s a disappointment.

……Hmm? Why did I hold expectation for it? Well, it’s fine.”

Glancing, Laurier’s vision moves towards her surrounding.

And, that line of sight sees me and stops.

Ah.

“Oh! Aren’t you the human during the day?”

I have been found. Although I am not particularly hiding.

“Ah, well……I certainly did not think that you were a demon race.”

“Haruto?”

Sharon behind me casts a doubt, but I cannot keep her company now.

“Say, It must be fate to have met again in this form, won’t you give up and return for today?”

Because it’s special, I try to persuade her tentatively.

“N? Uu?n……that’s right ……”

Laurier was troubled relatively seriously.

Can you go? was my thoughts, but I was generous.

“No, this is bad, after all let’s draw out the potential of the hero for the sake of finishing this.”

As soon as she says that, Laurier heads here at a terrific speed.

It’s dangerous.

Laurier’s fist approaches.

I guard with my full strength.

GAAN! The sound which doesn’t seem to have hit a person resounds.

“Oo!?”

Laurier was surprised that she was guarded.

“Sharon! Leave!”

I put my hand on the sword while saying.

While drawing the sword, I slashed as it is with a similiar feel to iai. (TN: Drawing, cutting down and resheathing in one quick movement)

The single blow was avoided.

After all, before I entered to help, the other party has pointed her attack in this direction.

Now that it has become like this, it’s inevitable.

I have no choice but to defeat this demon race.

Clearly speaking, to defeat her alone is difficult.

However, I have no choice but to do it.

“You, can do it! You are way stronger than the hero!”

Laurier is pleased in a carefree voice.

If you are careless, it’s good.

“Binding of the earth, Earth?bind”

Soil ivies coil around Laurier’s body.

“Nuu? Interesting. Such a thing is”

Saying so, Laurier puts power and escapes from the restraint.

However, I close in upon her with that small amount of time.

“Haa!”

“Nuoo!?”

I cut deeply towards her with the sword.

Midway, I merely felt some resistance from the shield of air, air?shield, but I had place magic on my sword too.

Smashing the shield into pieces, the sword-line is stretching towards Laurier.

Was it because it was judged to be unavoidable? Laurier tries to grab the sword with her left arm.

My sword slashes and cuts into her palm but couldn’t sever it. Damn.

Although I try to pull my sword back, Laurier has a firm grip and holds on to it.

And then, she strikes with her right fist.

The sword cannot be freed.

I, similar to what was done a little while ago, catches Laurier’s fist with my left hand.

*Grip*, and it become a stance of 2 people in a contest of strength.

“Kufufu…… you can do it, can’t you?”

“Well, thanks……”

While we were tied to each other, I imagine it once more.

This time, binding of the earth, Earth?bind was invoked without chanting at all.

“Naa! What!?”

Earth ivy coils around Laurier again.

Aiming at the spot where her strength was loosen from surprise, I pulled the sword out.

“Kuu, you, magic completely without chanting!?”

With her movement dulled by restrains, now is the chance.

I slash with all the magical power in my body.

“HAaaaa!”

“Tsk!”

Laurier who tries to not suffer a fatal blow avoids by twisting her body.

As a result.

It didn’t lead to a fatal wound.

In a surprising event, while destroying binding of the earth earth?bind in an instant and twisting her body in avoidance, a kick included approaches.

Because the other party’s posture was also bad, I did not receive any particular damage.

In addition, although I did not cause a fatal wound, it doesn’t mean that it was avoided safely.

Laurier lost the portion from her right shoulder from earlier.

Red blood was flowing and dripping down from the wound at her shoulder, but it stops before long.

For the demon race, a wound of that level will fully recover in a few days time.

But at least it’s not regrowing at this place now.

“Nuu……”

Laurier had a grimace on her face.

And then.

“With my name—”

She begins chanting a magic.

However, I won’t let you do it.

Rushing over in a breath, I slashes at her.

“WAA, Wawawa!”

Although it was guarded by the left arm that remains, something such as gripping the sword can’t be done anymore, and slowly it becomes impossible to guard against.

“Waa! Whoa! Wa, Wait a moment!

I give up! I give up! It’s my defeat!

So wait a moment!”

Defeat?

To Laurier’s declaration of giving up, I stopped the attack for the time being.

But, our distance remains close.

“That is, admitting, from your defeat meekly, up to your life, is that the situation?”

“Ye, yeah. That’s right. I agree.

Seeing that, my right arm is entirely cut off from the shoulders, and the remaining left arm is in pieces too. With this, I can’t help but admit defeat.

Really, to catch a weak little girl, what poor treatment is this?”

Laurier puffs her cheek angrily.

A weak little girl, is this guy making fun of me?

Although I stare and scowl at her, Laurier who is detached is not even shy.

Well, as this fellow was not trying to go to the extent of killing someone originally, it should be alright for me to not finish her off expressly?

Even if they are called demon race, not all of them in existence harms humans…….

“Nevertheless, you, are really strong.

It was enjoyable like this after a long time.”

“Well, I had some too.

The rest, I’m not particularly happy.”

“N? Isn’t it enjoyable to fight? Aren’t you a peculiar fellow?”

It’s you who is peculiar.

This fellow is a battle maniac.

It might be better to get rid of her for the sake of the world after all.

“I don’t feel good losing here!

HAAAHAHAHAHA!”

Guffawing laughter broke out from her tatter body.

The demon race is scary.

Certainly just by looking at the result, I was only given a kick and wasn’t overwhelmed.

“For a long time, I have been searching for a fellow stronger than me.

Therefore, I fell in love with you who defeated me.

I will serve you from now on!

Feel thankful!”

Ha?

Wh, What’s this fellow saying.
