Manowa Chapter 246

Swing. Swing the spear.

From right to left, left to right. Simply continually swinging the spear.

While hearing the cries of beasts, Yumika in her G.o.d Wolf figure single-mindedly dealt finishing blows to the owners of those cries. If she were seen by someone, they would think she was senseless, but in fact, she extremely rationally continued slaughtering enemies with minimal movements.

If she were seen, she'd look like a tornado.

While glowing silver and scattering fresh blood, Yumika simply continued swinging her spear.

She had confirmed that her companions had left. Although Mokko was injured, he retreated with the escort from her silver wolves. Was it around half that chased him? Yumika didn't know exactly how many were left behind, but there was no doubt that they had completely divided up here.

But Naoki would come in 10 minutes. If she stayed alive until then, it was Yumika's victory. So thinking, Yumika stood alone on the battlefield.

(Stab, slash, stab, stab, slash, stab, slash, stab, stab, slash, stab)

She single-mindedly swung her spear. Severing limbs, piercing vitals, Yumika simply repeated her work like a machine.

But there were many. Tutting as she started becoming overwhelmed, Yumika turned around and ran from the approaching beasts. Of course, the beasts pursued without any hesitation. Yumika vertically ran up the large tree that was behind her before unleashing the Barnes Style spear secret technique『Great Earthquake』in the center of the densely packed monsters under the tree. The spear technique made to send large monsters flying with a single blow sent the large group of monsters flying.

From the start, Jinrai was unable to handle the spear techniques requiring high Magic Power due to his body's abilities, so Yumika was not taught such techniques. Therefore, the first time she had learned any high Magic Power cost spear techniques was at the Barnes Dojo in Deer South, but it seemed they were very useful when fighting alone against many foes.

However, after Yumika released her technique while landing on the ground, a High Kobold, a superior species, immediately approached her. Yumika precisely pierced several vitals in her counter against that attacking enemy, but it didn't stop. Yumika tutted as the dog monster with two unusually thickly muscled legs approached.

「Dull guy!」

Saying those few words, Yumika swung her spear horizontally to cut both its eyes, then thrust her spear inside its mouth and pierced through the back of its neck, including the spinal cord.

Even then, it looked like it could still move, but when Yumika kicked to leap backwards, the blind High Kobold's companions were swallowed up as it began to rampage.

With a sidelong glance at that, Yumika saw three Kobold Blues approaching her from three sides this time, and her figure instantly disappeared. The monsters were surprised by the sudden disappearance of their prey. Just now, Yumika used the Barnes Style spear technique called『Lightning Step』to instantaneously accelerate, and she had actually done nothing more than move behind them.

Then Yumika took one of Kazane's handmade crystal throwing spears from her Item Box and fired『Thunder G.o.d Spear』.

『Thunder G.o.d Spear』was primarily used for long-distance battles, and moreover, it was a technique supposing a battle against a dragon. It was obvious what would happen when it directly hit the Kobold Blue's back right before her eyes. The monster's upper half was destroyed like it had exploded, and the Sylphyn Wolf ahead of it was also skewered.

At the same time, beasts approached from all sides. With such flashy conduct, Yumika's position being immediately exposed was a matter of course. However, two shadows jumped out at that time.

「You're late!」

The howling Silver Wolves rammed the approaching Sylphyn Wolves. Her followers finally returned. Apparently, Mokko's group successfully escaped.

「Shiro, Kiba, I'm a little tired, so let me relax.」

The two Silver Wolves howled in reply after their names were called and restrained the surrounding beasts. Their bodies were the size of ordinary wolves, but even among the Silver Wolf species, they were superior monsters. Yumika had cracked a joke to the Silver Wolves, but she wasn't actually planning to relax.

(Shall I limit it to the ones that can quickly crush me?)

After leaving the approaching enemies to the silver wolves, Yumika fell back, then pulled crystal throwing spears out of her Item Box one after the other and thrust them into the ground. The atmosphere of the surrounding beasts changed when they saw that sight. They probably understood from the Kobold Blue that was pierced just now. Yumika's eyes narrowed, and she pulled out a throwing spear.

Then the beasts started running before they were shot, and the Silver Wolves restrained them. In the meanwhile, Yumika kept pulling out and firing Thunder G.o.d Spears in succession. She also didn't forget to use her silver spear Silky with one hand to stab the monsters that slipped between the Silver Wolves.

She didn't stop. Attacks like flashes of light flew about the trees, piercing the High Kobolds and Kobold Blues she focused her aim towards. Pierced trees were destroyed and collapsed, and dust rose as the ground was gouged. But as might be expected, the beasts didn't simply quietly allow themselves to be aimed at by things they knew would come. They weren't surprise attacks from behind like before. Although her sniping ability was high thanks to her G.o.d Wolf's physical ability and Intuition, the monsters instantly evaded to avoid direct hits. But even without direct hits, the power was tremendous. The limbs and flanks of the beasts were mercilessly gouged out, and no small number of monsters immediately died. When all the throwing spears were gone, Yumika once again started running, accompanied by her silver wolves.

At that time, the momentum of the surrounding beasts had weakened considerably. They were afraid of Yumika. Yumika's appearance, dyed dark red with the blood of the beasts she single-mindedly continued to kill, was exactly like a berserker.

However, the person herself was far from berserk. She was simply a disciple repeatedly acting according to what she had learned from her master.

And when around half of the top ranking Kobold Blues and High Kobolds had fallen, the Demon Wolf finally began to move.

It was planning to rely on numbers to take her down, but the wolf had no choice but to move when they were conversely being taken down. Having said that, it wasn't to withdraw. Showing its tail to what was at best a single monkey was contrary to the Demon Wolf's pride. But it didn't see itself as cheap enough to challenge the monkey on equal footing.

GuooOOOOOOOONN!!!

A huge roar came from the mouth of the Demon Wolf.

(…… an unpleasant voice)

Since she was transformed into a G.o.d Wolf, Yumika was able to understand the meaning. It was: throw your lives away to kill that. The signs from the surrounding monsters changed. The direction of fear changed from Yumika to the Demon Wolf that was forcing them to make their last stand. In other words, it was a declaration from the boss that he would kill them if they couldn't kill her.

Fear dwelled in their eyes, and they simultaneously ran with their eyes on Yumika.

Although, that didn't change what Yumika had to do.

When they tried to increase the number approaching, she took distance with『Lightning Step』and individually dealt with the monsters that were out of sync with the group's reaction speed. The Kobold Blues and High Kobolds were troublesome, but she could easily keep an appropriate distance with the help of her Silver Wolves. If she couldn't kill them with one blow, she would repeatedly thrust and avoid as many times as needed.

She greatly benefited from the fatigue recovery effect of her G.o.d Wolf Transformation, so her movements didn't stop even with the fighting she had done until now. Single-mindedly killing, single-mindedly avoiding. And then...

(This might be dangerous)

Immediately after, Yumika's Intuition sounded a warning. The Demon Wolf Fenrir Imitator started running like a bolt of black lightning.

While scattering drool at dreadful speed, it approached Yumika with its mouth open wide. Yumika tried to avoid it with the acceleration of『Lightning Step』, but

(Fast!?)

She couldn't get away. Fear finally budded in Yumika as the Demon Wolf came to bite her. But she purposely stepped forward.

Then a crashing sound resounded, and the demon wolf in front of Yumika cried「Gyaun!」as it flew away. The surrounding beasts clamored.

「Dangerous.」

So saying, Yumika caught her breath. The dragon bone shield on her left arm was thrust ahead.

She had done a shield bash. Yumika had dashed forward before she was bit and hit the tip of the Demon Wolf's nose with her dragon bone shield to blow it away. The Demon Wolf that was sent flying immediately rotated in the air and landed with feet on the ground.

I see, it's strong... Yumika thought.

The wolf before her eyes was covered in jet black fur, with red eyes, red fangs, red claws, and a Childstone pulsing on its chest. The jet black monster reminded her of the black devil-possessed monsters she had fought in the dragon village, but completely unlike those, this monster was overflowing with vitality.

Then Yumika and the Demon Wolf jumped forward at the same time. The spear, fangs, shield, and claws collided, and the battle between silver and black was started. But that didn't mean it was a mannered one-on-one fight. From the beginning, it was hunt or be hunted, kill or be killed. It was a battlefield where all remaining were betting their lives. Therefore, all the monsters in that place desperately rushed towards Yumika.
