Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 147

CHAPTER 147: VS THE ULTIMATE EVIL *4*

Sora and Luna braced themselves for the incoming attack.

In order to get rid of the incoming monsters they were going to cast their magic without chanting their incantations, but……

「Fuuh!」

A moment later, the monsters were all cut in both directions to the side.

It was none other than Ax who did it.

He pulled out his katana with the speed and swiftness that could only be described as divine.

And with that speed, he cut down the monsters as they were.

So fast.

Although Sora and Luna were both shut-ins for the longest time, they were still proud members of the Ultimate Species. Which is why their kinetic vision was way better than that of any regular person out there.

But even so, they were unable to see Ax’s slash just now.

It was simply as if a tremendous gust of wind suddenly blew across the monster horde.

The next moment when they realized what had happened, the monsters were already dead.

「Shi! Sei!」

Ax would just continue to draw his sword over and over again, cutting monsters with one swift strike after another.

And each single blow was able to cut down a considerable amount of monsters.

Also, with his flowing movements, he didn’t seem to be leaving any gaps or openings for the monsters to possibly explore.

「Oh wow…… That’s actually amazing! So, it looks like this guy was not all show after all!」

「Yeah, I guess that’s an A Rank Adventurer for you. He actually has the skills necessary to back all this talk up, huh?」

「Umm, could you maybe be a little less mean here? I’m still here and I can hear you, you know!?」

Ax clicked his tongue as he dexterously fought against the monsters.

「Oh well, you know, it’s just that……」

「I mean, we were saying it out loud precisely because you would be able to hear it.」

「Hey! You two!」

Despite all the shouting, Ax’s movements were undisturbed and uninterrupted.

Like a sharpened blade, he slaughters the attacking monsters with his brilliant movements.

However, the sheer number of enemies charging at them was nothing to scoff at.

Seemingly possessing a certain level of intelligence, the monsters adapted their tactics and started targeting Ax.

But even so, Ax did not panic.

He remained calm and continued to cut down the enemies in front of him.
　
How could he do something like that?

Because he had a partner he could count on at any time and in any situation.

「Fuh!」

Cell, who was right behind Ax, would draw her bow time after time.

Then, she would release an arrow after arrow.

Her arrows would fly through the air and pierced the heads of the monsters that were just about ready to attack Ax.

The arrows pierced the monsters’ heads deep enough to drop them dead in an instant, not even giving them a chance to twitch or scream.

「GUAH!!!」

Recognizing a new enemy, the monsters turned towards Cell now.

Several monsters tried to attack her all at once.

Cell’s weapon of choice is a bow.

It is the type of weapon that shows its true value in ranged combat, but the moment that the enemy manages to get up close and personal with you, there is nothing that you can possibly do about it.
Or at the very least…… there SHOULDN’T be anything that you could be able to do about it.

「Fuh! Hah!」

Cell didn’t panic and fired arrows at the monsters that were heading towards her without interruption.

The two monsters fell to the ground with the accurate and unmatched shooting that she was employing right now.

Without stopping at the death of their companions, the monsters continued to close in on Cell.

Cell then held three arrows at the same time…… and put them on her bow and released them all at once.

The arrows continued to fly like wild birds, each piercing a single monster’s head.

But still, the surviving monsters would just press on, completely unfazed.

By sacrificing their comrades to the arrows, they were able to gradually wear Cell out.

But even though the enemies were fast approaching……

Cell still wouldn’t panic.

She would spin her bow like a staff and just strike at the monsters that had the audacity to approach her too close.

Then, without missing the opening that her strikes would create, she would fire at them from a point-blank distance.

The monsters that were about to attack Cell were then all annihilated.

「Oh wow…… That’s really amazing. How can she even move like that in the first place……?」

「The last time I saw you, your super long-range shooting was amazing… but I’ve never heard of an Archer that can also hold her own ground in close quarters combat……」

Sora and Luna were both positively stunned.

That’s how far outside of the norm Cell’s fighting style really was.

And after they were shown a display like that……

There was no way that the two of them wouldn’t get excited.

「Sister Dearest!　There is no way in Hell that we are going to be outdone by a human like that! Let’s go!」

「Yes, I suppose so!」

There was no way that they would ever let Ax and Cell beat them.

With even more motivation now to fight at the peak of their potential, the two of them chanted a new magic spell.

***

「Nuuugh!?」

Aggath’s greatsword roared and attacked Iris.

But Iris kept a cool look on her face the entire time.

It was as if she was catching a toy sword, and she caught it with one hand once more.

And the hand with which she managed to catch it was not even slightly injured.

Also, there was no pressure that would push her body away.

「Tch, what the hell is wrong with that sturdiness of yours!?」

「Fufufu, is that all you’ve got?」

「Arios!」

「I know!」

Aggath put more strength into his hands that were still holding onto his sword.

Just like that, he cleaved away and blew Iris’s body away.

Then, as his stance would collapse, Arios used his magic and it exploded right in front of Iris’s face.

「”Lunatic Bolt!”」

Next, an extreme thunderstorm fell right on top of the Celestial Tribe’s woman.

It was as if a giant divine fist had fallen from the Heavens.

An overwhelming light enveloped Iris, bringing a storm of destruction all over her.

The ground was gutted and the surrounding plants and trees were all blown away.

But still……

「Are you some kind of monster?」

「Fufufu.」

Iris was still alive and well.

She didn’t even seem to have suffered much damage, and she was smiling and giggling.

「Come to think of it, you are supposed to be the Hero, aren’t you?」

「What about it?」

「No, no, it’s just that I thought that this is as good as you are going to get? Because I never would have thought that you would be able to blow away the barrier that I have erected, that’s it.」

「…… What?」

「You see, normally I employ a barrier around my entire body to protect me…… And that barrier is also the application of the summoning magic. Using the power that allows me to traverse to different dimensions in the moment of summoning itself, it distorts the space around me. As a result of this, ordinary attacks can’t cause even a scratch on me. But………there is a limit to it, though. If an attack like the one we are experiencing now is consumed by the barrier, the barrier itself will not be able to withstand it and will collapse onto itself.」

「You just keep on yapping that mouth of yours…… Are you sure you want to talk about something like that to us?」

「You see, there is something that’s been on my mind quite a lot as of late.」

Grinning her teeth, Iris smiled evilly.

「I thought a one-sided war of annihilation would be SO boring. Oh, no. You don’t get the wrong idea here, do you?　I love to kill people…… I am almost able to reach climax on the single thought of being able to slaughter them all. But, but you see?　If you don’t have too much resistance to your own efforts, that’s what makes it boring and uninspiring……」

「You Devil!」

「Fufufu…… Please do your best to resist me some more. And make this fun of me, why don’t you?」

「You’re the one who’s going to pay for betraying me!」

Arios drew his sword and slashed at Iris.

Seemingly not lying in her words that the barrier surrounding her body has been destroyed, Iris generated a blade with magic power and blocked Arios’ sword.

「Guh!」

Arios did his best to stand against Iris with all his strength to push through Iris’s defense, but his blade simply refused to go any further than that.

He was blocked by Iris’s magic blade, and, for a moment out there they just stood there like that, trying to deflect each other’s blows.

「You bitch, what is this power……!!!」

「Well, I mean…… They don’t call us the Ultimate Species for nothing, you know?」

「Then how about this?」

Aggath managed to regain his stance and joined Arios on the ground.

However, there was still a smile on Iris’s lips, and it didn’t seem that it was going to go away anytime soon.

She produced another magical blade and managed to easily block the attacks that were coming her way from left and right at the same time.

「Kuuh! So, that didn’t work in the end, either……!?」

「Aggath! What the hell are you even doing!? Put some effort into it!」

「And what do you think I’ve been doing this entire time, huh!?」

「Kusu, kusu. Are you really sure that this is the right time and place for arguing amongst yourselves?」

「What?」

「I can still cast my magic just fine. Even if I am in this state, you know?」

As Iris was still blocking their swords, she began to spin the words of Power, shaping them into a powerful Curse.

「Come forth. The Fire of the Otherworld.」

Black flames rose from Arios and Aggath’s’ feet.

They swirled like a tornado, burning and blasting their bodies away.

「UWOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!」

「GUAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!」

The screams of the two men overlapped into one.

But then, before they could get their bearings, another attack followed after that one.

「Come forth. The Whirlwind of Doom.」
