Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 114

CHAPTER 114: THE STRONGEST OF THE STRONG *2*

「Sora! Luna! Cover me!」

I can’t take care of Suzu-san by myself.

I have to keep her occupied until Kanade and Tanya will be able to return to the frontlines and change with them.

That’s why I have called in Sora and Luna for backup.

Since Suzu-san and I are so close to one another, there was no way that Sora and Luna would be able to cast their spells as they normally would.

Because doing so would involve me getting caught in the blast.

But there’s only one way I can avoid getting caught in Sora and Luna’s magic.
.
And I am more than sure that those two have already realized that as well!

「「“Paralyze Shock!!」」

Just as I had hoped, Sora and Luna unleash their Status Ailment magic at the same time.

After all, I have the ability called “Status Ailments Nullification”.
.
With this, there’s nothing wrong with me getting caught up in the effective range of their spells.

「Myaah!?」

Looking as though her body was starting to turn completely numb, Suzu-san let out a shocked voice.

No matter how much Suzu-san was the strongest of all the Ultimate Species, the Cat Spirit Tribe is known for their susceptibility for magic attacks.

And it would seem that she was unable to overcome this weakness, and ended up with the “Paralyze” status affecting her.

Now! This is our chance!

I wanted to tackle Suzu-san’s legs and force her to fall to the ground where she stood, but……

「Eiyah!」

「Huh……!?」

She avoided my attack with the minimum amount of movement necessary, with no waste of time and movement at all.

My leg kicked the empty air instead of her legs and just like that my foot sweep was completely avoided.

Then, on the contrary, Suzu-san applied a foot sweep to me and I fell to the ground, ending up in the way I wanted her to end up.

「But why……!?」

「Fufufu! The weakness of the Cat Spirit Tribe is our susceptibility to magic attacks. You did well with noticing that fact. But…… Did you really think that we of the Cat Spirit Tribe would allow a weakness like that to remain a weakness forever? There is nothing we can do about magic attacks of all sorts, but we have been training to be able to move to a certain extent even if we are affected by status ailment magic.」

Suzu-san said plainly.

I can’t believe that she can move even when she’s supposed to be under the influence of Status Ailment magic…

How can you even learn to do something so absurd?

But this isn’t good.

Suzu-san is even tougher than I thought she would be.

She is simply outperforming us in every field imaginable.

However, we can’t give up here.

If we were to give up here, this would mean that Kanade would be taken away from us.

「Don’t you even think that this is the only magic spell that we can use!」

「There’s a lot where that came from!」

Sora and Luna shouted out loud.

「“Poison”……」

「“Freeze”……」

Sora and Luna were getting ready to unleash magic spells that add Poison status to the target and the spell that would freeze the target respectively.

However, Suzu-san was on the move before they were able to do that.

「The same trick won’t work on me the second time, I’m afraid.」

「Kyah!?」

「Muguh!?」

Suzu-san swung her fist out wide, as if to strike a huge enemy right in front of her.

Just like that, a shockwave was generated by her fist strike.

The shockwave engulfed both Sora and Luna and threw them both high into the air.
　
The two spun around in mid-air, their eyes rolling back into the inside of their skulls.

「Here’s……」

「…… THE OPENING!」

Kanade and Tanya, who should have been blown away and unable to fight, were back into action before anyone knew what was happening.

They pounced on Suzu-san, who was still in a position with her arms out, at the same time.

「And what is that opening that you are speaking of, I wonder?」

「Nyah!?」

「Hyaaaaaahhhhhh!?」

Once again, Kanade and Tanya were both thrown backwards.

They were sent flying with a tremendous force and rolled on the ground.

Are we really going to be alright if things continue in such a way……?

「Yeah…… Everyone, is that really all that you can do while attacking me at the same time? Because if the answer to that question is “Yes”, then I must say, that’s a little bit of a disappointment. See? I haven’t moved at all from this position, you know?」

「Kuh……」

This woman is one hell of a ridiculous monster.

I thought I knew her physical prowess and strength from playing tag earlier today, but……

This is just unbelievable.

The source of this person’s power had nothing to do with the physical abilities of the Cat Spirit Tribe, but was something else entirely.

It’s the “Advancement”.

Her fighting skills are refined to the point where they have reached the level of being cheat-like abilities.

She’s no different from a very skilled Adventurer right now…… or even more than that.

Perhaps right now she is as skilled as S Rank Adventurer?

In contrast, we have been fighting based on our physical abilities alone.

I have gained a certain amount of experience thanks to that, but……

Such a thing is useless against the extremely well-trained skills of a seasoned warrior.

It’s like a child challenging a professional fist fighter to a fist fight.

The difference in power is simply way too overwhelming.

I didn’t expect the difference to be this great, but……

「…… Is that all you’ve got? Is this going to be the end?」

「…… No, not yet.」

Seeing that provocative smile on Suzu-san’s face, I slowly stood back up onto my feet.

Everyone else got up as well and took their battle positions.

Though the difference between us is way greater than I initially expected……

There is no way that we were going to give up now and here!

「Sora, Luna!　Try to match my rhythm!」

「Yes, sir!」

「Umu!」

「“Fireball Multi-Shot”!!」

In that moment, I unleashed multiple fireballs at Suzu-san.

We can’t afford to be lenient with her anymore, so I needed to go all out as well.

Pouring all the magical power I could possibly muster, the multiple gigantic fireballs rushed towards Suzu-san.

But even so, Suzu-san refused to move from her spot, as if to show us the overwhelming difference in our power.

She swung her fist and used the air pressure alone to stir up the fireballs away from her.

「「“Lightning Strike”!!!」」

Just in time, Sora and Luna’s magic burst forth as well.

Like a giant snake crawling on the ground, a bolt of purple lightning rushed through the air.

「Let me pitch in to that as well!」

Tanya spread her dragon wings and flew high in the sky.

Then she struck the fully charged Dragon Breath towards Suzu-san.

Sora and Luna’s magic.

And then Tanya’s Dragon Breath exploded all at once, but……

「Too weak.」

There was still a smile on Suzu-san’s face. Or to put it in another way, it didn’t go away.

She just met Sora and Luna’s magic with her fist, colliding it head-on.

As long as it doesn’t hit her directly, does that mean it’s not a problem for her?

She’s one hell of a monstrous fighter.

Tanya’s Drasgon Breath was offset by her fist swing, creating a shockwave as a result.

Kanade and I have done something similar before……

But it was something that the two of us could barely pull off together.

Besides, Tanya was holding back, too.

Tanya should have been going all out now, but……

Suzu-san would be able to prevent her from doing anything all on her own.

「Not yet!」
「Unyahn!」

Following the three attacks, Kanade and I ran together.

The two of us worked together, slamming a storm of fists and kicks into the air.

But Suzu-san was able to avoid or deflect all of those attacks with ease.

But that was to be expected, actually.

As I had predicted, Suzu-san’s counterattack fist would fly in towards us, but……

「There it is!」

「What?」

With the power of ‘Gravity Manipulation’ that I got from signing a contract with Tina, I reduced the gravity on myself to zero.

Softly, I jumped over Suzu-san’s head.

As expected, this was unexpected, and Suzu-san’s fist lost sight of its target and waved in the air, hitting nothing.

In the meantime, I released the gravity control.

Landing on the ground, I immediately activated Narukami’s special mechanism and ejected the wire.

I tied up Suzu-san’s body from behind.

Furthermore, Kanade hugged Suzu-san from the front, doubly blocking her movements.

「No matter how much you struggle, you won’t be able to shake off these restraints immediately!」

「Yes, I know. But you won’t be able to beat me just by stopping my ability to move around.」

Yes, that’s right. You are correct in stating that, Suzu-san. However……

We have a trump card of our own.

「Rein……!」

The space in the immediate vicinity distorted and Nina appeared right in front of Suzu-san, accompanied by Tina.

She must have decided that it was a perfect opportunity and flew over here thanks to her teleportation ability.

「Nice timing, Nina!」

「…… Yeah.」

「And then…… We are leaving everything to you, Tina!」

「Sure thing! Just leave everything to me!」

Tina showed us a huge thumbs up……

And then with a slight “whooosh!” sound she disappeared into Suzu-san, melting into the thin air.
