Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 146

CHAPTER 146: VS THE ULTIMATE EVIL *3*

The two Irises rushed our way.

At the same time, the swarms of monsters also launched themselves forward, attacking us all at once.

「Arios, take one Iris over there!　Ax and Cell, and also Sora and Luna, take on those monsters in the meantime! We are going to take care of that other Iris!」

「I don’t need you to tell me what to do!」

「We don’t have time for your yapping right now! Just do as you are told!」

「Kuhh…… Damn it! I guess it can’t be helped!」

Arios clicked his tongue in apparent dissatisfaction.

Then he took Aggath and the others to intercept one Iris.

While it is true that Iris’s power is unfathomable……

Arios and his comrades are not weak, and they have been known as the “Hero’s Party” for a reason.

If they can fight calmly and without underestimating their opponents, they should be able to manage even against the Ultimate Species such as Iris.

「As for you, Ax and Cell……」

「You want us to mop the floor with some monsters, right? On it!」

「We won’t let them get to you and interfere with your battle. You go ahead, and leave this to us!」

They both replied encouragingly.

「Thanks, that would help a lot. We are also going to leave Sora and Luna as backup for you. Sora, Luna, I hope that’s okay with you?」

「Yes, sir! No problem.」

「Well, I am sure that us alone would be more than enough to handle a bunch of monsters, but I guess that covering for someone from time to time is not all that bad, either.」

The two of them nodded their heads firmly, as if to say they were going to be fine here.

Nevertheless, I felt that Sora’s attitude was starting to become more and more like that of Tania’s these days.

Could it be that she was her source of inspiration?

I then turned towards Kanade and Tanya who were already by my side.

「As for us, we are going to focus on defeating Iris!」

「Nyan!」

「Yeah, I got it!」

「As for you, Nina and Tina…… I want you to stay together. Get behind us and provide support whenever we might be in need of one.」

「I…… I will do my best!」

「I’m on it!」

Nina put on a brave face as she held the kettle tightly in her arms.

When I met her for the first time, she seemed to be so fleeting and fragile that I thought that she might disappear on us at any moment, but now……

Now she looked equally as dependable as everyone else.

「Alright, then! Let’s go!」

***

「Hehehe! Now it’s time to show them what we can really do!」

Ax said to himself while reaching for the sword that was hanging at his waist.

Even while it was still in its scabbard, one could see that his sword was way thinner than normal ones.

It was also slightly curved, giving it a rather unique shape.

It was the weapon called a ‘katana’ that was said to be made only in the lands on the Eastern Continent.

The swarm of monsters was approaching them really fast, but even in the face of such a threat Ax was not frightened…… In fact, he was actually smiling happily.

He grasped the hilt of his sword and held it firmly while still keeping it in its scabbard.

He then lightly bent forward.

And yet, one of his feet was slightly in front of him, as if he wanted to make sure that he could always make a step forward if he needed to.

It was a technique called ‘Battou’, a sword technique that was passed down only amongst the warriors of the Eastern Continent.

「If I show my good points here, Cell will surely notice my charm and then…… Uehehe! Alright! Now I’m motivated!　Watch me, you monsters! I’m not letting you get past this point, no matter what! As long as I’m here, you……」

「「“Dragoon Howling”!!」」

「……………」

As Ax uttered that short speech to himself while making a step forward, from his side, Sora and Luna’s magic exploded at full force.

A shockwave resembling a Dragon’s roar swallowed the swarm of monsters in its entirety, leaving nothing behind.

「B-But…… my turn……」

Ax dropped his shoulders in an utter display of disappointment, but neither of the Spirit Tribe twins seemed to notice that, as Luna only laughed haughty.

「Fuahahaha!!! Did you see that!? Bear witness to our power!!!」

「Luna, don’t let your guard down! I don’t think that this attack worked all that well on them!」

「Hmm?　Oh, you’re right…… It didn’t work out all that well.」

「We need to concentrate more on our Magic Power with the next spell.」

「Alright! Duly noted!」

「“Inferno Burst”!」

「“Tempest Edge”!」

Once again, Sora and Luna’s magic burst forth.

A tornado of red flame engulfed the leading group of monsters……

And furthermore, vacuum blades danced wildly over their swarm.

The monsters were silenced, this time for good, by the combined attack of fire and wind.

However, that was only part of the entire swarm.

There was a literal river of monsters that were already following in the previous swarm’s tracks.

「Muh, talk about them being a major pain in the ass! Can’t we just blow them all up in one go with the use of Super Tier Magic?」

「No, we can’t. If we use that kind of powerful magic here, the entire village might get caught in the blast and end up being destroyed.」

「It’s such a pain in the ass to have to do this so soberly…… But oh well! We need to do what we have to do!」

「Yes, that’s the spirit.」

Sora and Luna exchanged small smiles.

Then they continued, glaring at the swarm of encroaching monsters.

「”Absolute Strike!”」

As if to stop the monsters from advancing any further, huge ice cubes rained down from the sky.

They crushed the monsters, froze them in their entirety and stopped them from moving even one step forward.

But even so, doing something like this would not be quite enough.

The monsters that escaped the impact of the spell charged at Sora and Luna without even looking back at their agonized comrades.

But that was well within Luna’s expectations.

「Umu, umu! What a simple bunch they all are! They didn’t even know they were being led by Sora to a certain place!」

「You don’t need to explain it to them, so just get on with it!」

「U-Umu! I’m on it!」

A bright light started to gather in Luna’s hands.

She then spun the words of Power and directed the light towards the monsters.

「“Flash impact!”」

The air around Luna’s hands was shook with an explosion of bright light and a powerful shockwave.

Both of those things then shot forward, swallowing the leading group of monsters that were protruding forward.

It was a wide-range magic that Luna often liked to use.

It could strike down multiple opponents with the shockwave in one swift blow.

However, this time around Luna had arranged the magic a little bit.

By narrowing down the range to be narrower than normal, it conversely increases the spell’s power and destructive potency.

As a result, it was able to achieve way greater power threshold than it normally would.

She didn’t just change the chant of the spell, she tweaked its structural formula and arranged its content accordingly as well.

It was a power she had acquired through special training with Suzu-san.

And……

Sora had also acquired some new powers.

She pointed her right hand at the monsters.

「“Vortex Lance!”」

She then pointed her left hand at the monsters.

「“Igni Trance!”」

As a result of her double casting, purple lighting and spears made of crimson fire were released onto the monsters.

The simultaneous use of different type of spells…… That’s the new power that Sora got.

It was a power that ordinary people could not even think of.

In order to use magic, you need to build a structural formula in your mind.

It requires an enormous amount of mental power to successfully pull off, and usually the best thing that you can do is to build but one spell at a time.

It was a different power than the Multi-Chant that Rein uses.

That one was the power to deploy a single magic multiple times at the same time.

In contrast, this one is the power to deploy multiple magic spells at once and at the same time.

However, Sora came up with a way to build two spells at the same time.

She repeated that practice in secret from everyone and made the technique her very own.

This was also the result of the special training with Suzu-san.

「Uwah, what the hell was that!?」

Luna was surprised when she saw Sora’s simultaneous magic chanting.

At her sister’s reaction, Sora grinned in a smug way.

「Fufufu, you could say that this is Sora’s very own trump card.」

「Using two magic spells at once……?　I didn’t think that this was even possible……」

Luna was more and more amazed.

Even Luna, who was of the Spirit Tribe just like Sora was, was amazed at her sister’s ingenious invention.

「H-How, how did you do that!? Can you teach me to do it as well!?」

「Would you like me to tell you?」

「Yes, please! Tell me all about it!」

「Well, that’s a shame…… Because I’m not telling you anything!」

「What……!? Mukyuuuh!!! Why you little……!!」

Seeing Luna thrashing about in surprise and astonishment, Sora felt a sense of superiority rising within her.

She was able to show her dignity as an older sister to her younger sister, who was usually a bit cocky with her in most of the situations.

Ah, how pleasant it feels. It’s the best feeling ever!

…… Even though they were in the middle of a battle, she was thinking about such things.

「GURUAAH!!!」

As if aiming for an opening between the two sisters, a dog-shaped monster used that opportunity to pounce right onto them.
