Summoning at Random Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Capture of the labyrinth
Although it’s regrettable, a cheat is a cheat.

Moreover, although I received a number of questions asking “where did he know the name of the pope?” in the afterthoughts of the previous chapter, it was heard from the person himself in chapter 2. By the way, even if I a.s.sumed that his succeeded name (professional name) was not his name from birth, it would be acceptable if it’s recognized by a certain amount of people and treated as an official name from the world.

“Now, let’s resume the capture soon.”

“Okay.”

“Kaaー”

Reiji was released from random summoning possession with the pa.s.sage of time, and finally able to move, a place was chosen and everyone resumed capturing of the dungeon.
3 people answered with 1 voice to Eligor’s command, and advance their feet towards the depths of the dungeon from the inviolable area at the entrance.

In a file with Eligor as the first, Orlaine slightly behind, followed by Tena and Reijin last.
Although Orlaine was coming forth as the vanguard, her weapon, the holy bow was readied and remains unchanged.

“Is it good to leave your weapon like this?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”

Orlaine answers with confidence to Eligor’s question.

Usually, arrows are understandably needed when the bow is used as a weapon.

The sustainability is high as replenishment of arrows are not required, and the interval to fix an arrow to the string is also little, the forte of the holy bow is that it does not have the inherent disadvantages of using a bow as a weapon.
Incidentally, of course it’s also possible to shoot ordinary arrows.

“As I am aiming at the golem group, please concentrate on the undead groupMr.Reiji.”
“Yes, I understand.”

On the other hand, Reiji and Tena who are in charge of the rear guard verifies their respective roles they are in charge of too.

It is mainly undead’s group and golem’s group, both monsters that are non-living creatures roaming in this dungeon.

Whereas the light magic acquired by Reiji show a particularly strong effect on the undead’s group.
Therefore, the allocation of main target, Tena to golem’s group and Reiji to undead’s group. was decided naturally.

Although Reiji’s auto magic that invokes randomly is a cause for concern, it can be said that it’s a well-balanced party  for most part.

However, because they were in the state where a rope was tied once to their waist as a countermeasure for random metastasis, it only looked like a foolish group from the side.

“Ei!”

A spear of darkness released by Tena pierces the knee portion of a black steel golem, and the it staggers.

“It’s fine to receive it!”

Eligor strikes the golem, whose posture was destroyed, with a large sword. The golem was separated into two, the upper and lower body, and eventually stopped moving.

“HA!’

Reiji is casting radial light from both hands. Although that was not detrimental in any way to the living, it has an instant effect on the undeads.
For that race, the part struck by light directly disappears, and movement clearly becomes dull for skeleton lord.

“It’s there!”

Orlaine accurately finishes off the undead that was daunted by light magic from Reiji, from a short distance away.

That is of course, unable to be implemented unless it’s the holy bow which doesn’t need material arrows, but it can be said that her ability to bury an arrow in a body reliably played a big role above that.

“UWaa!? It’s fire this time?!”

Occasionally, other magic that are not light magic flies out from Reiji’s hands, but it wasn’t a big problem on the part of attacking against the monsters.
However, it’s not necessarily only attack magic that flies out.

“N? The current magic is?”
“The one now is probably recovery magic.”

As auto magic works without chanting and and he cannot chant either, it’s not possible to give a judgment on what magic came out without looking at the effects of the magic flying out.
Orlaine returns an answer to Reiji who felt a sense of incongruity to the light which differs slightly from the one of attacking magic he had remembered in his memories.

“Does recovery magic fly out too!? It would be foolish to heal the enemy……huh?

“The undeads can be granted damage by recovery magic.”

Although Reiji was in a panic from restoring the enemy, when he saw that the skeleton lord’s body was destroyed from the magic which flew out previously, it vanished.

It was all right in the end.

However, not necessarily everything acts conveniently.

“Wawa!? It’s movement became fast!”
“S, Sorry!”

Tena exclaimed in surprise to the black steel Golem that raised it’s speed suddenly.
It seemed to have been hit with supporting magic of speed enhancement by auto magic.

Compared to the time walking outside, the frequency of invoking for Auto Magic seemed to have increased after entering the dungeon.
As a result, although confusion is sometimes caused, the party with Reiji’s and Tena’s combat power included advances the capture smoothly.

It isn’t only monsters that are an obstacle in Dungeon.
Traps were also laid and the drifting miasma is a great obstacle opposing the challengers.

Concerning the former miasma, Tena which is the follower of Evil G.o.d, Orlaine who receives the blessing from the G.o.ddess of Light and Eligor of the demon race are not affected.
Only Reiji was affected, but it could be prevented by the barrier of Light magic.

“Ah, please be careful here.”
“Hmm, it’s sleeping gas.”

Concerning the latter, traps, Orlaine was useful.

Receiving that, she issued a warning to the party members and evaded the trap efficiently.

“How is it, have you grown accustomed a little?”

“It’s a good trend.

Soon, try if you can handle it as the vanguard?”
“Eh? Isn’t that too sudden?”

Reiji raises a voice of surprise to Eligor’s suggestion.
Reiji who have not even waved a sword and the likes, although he had wanted to start from practice swings first, but because of the absurd lead-up to actual fighting, that was understandable too.

“If you have a sword art skill, nature and movement while you are swinging are optimized.

Nonetheless, it’s impossible indeed to deal with a large number of enemies suddenly.

“I, I understand.”

In the meantime, a single black steel golem appeared.
Reiji changes place with Orlaine and pulled out 2 swords that was put behind his waist.

A normal sword of steel in his right hand and the blade of sword left to fate in his left……it was a light emitting blade with terrifying power.

“Ha?”

“Y, Yes.”

Prompted by Eligor, Reiji turns towards the approaching black steel golem and waves the sword of light in his left hand on the spot.

However, the moment the sword was waved, an aurora fired from the blade in a linear manner swallowed the black steel golem.

「………………」

「………………」

「………………」

Reiji was dumbfounded.
When the light cease, the figure of the black steel golem wasn’t there. All the fragments seemed to have vanished too.

“It’s a success but……it isn’t needed now as because you are doing special training.”

“……okay.”

Reiji place the sword of light away in the sheath for a moment and draw it out again.
Then, a blade of bronze appeared this time.

Oh, it’s an ordinary sword this time.”

“Perfect, one more is coming.”

Following Eligor’s line of sight at his words, a different black steel golem from previously was walking towards Reiji’s group.

“Now, once more.

“Yes!”

Reiji put his breath in order and prepared the 2 swords, watching the golem quietly.

Without an understanding of martial arts too, today is the first time in his life so far that Reiji is gripping a sword.
Naturally, he doesn’t understand how to use a sword.

And so, that stroke of sword will be said to be messed up, when judged from a person who has formally studied swordsmanship.
However, with physical ability that was enhanced when crossing over to this world, the bronze sword in his left hand struck the black steel golem on the right side section with a corresponding sharpness.

However, the blade of the bronze sword loses to the defensive power of the black steel golem, and the blow to remove the core results in it snapping and flying off.

“Untimely!?”

Reiji had a frantic expression due to his sword breaking. The huge fist of the black steel golem is swung down towards him like that.

“Do not stop moving!”
“Y, Yes!”

However, the golem’s fist from the side quickly goes around and cut in,  and is stopped by Eligor’s large sword.

Although the steel sword is stronger than the bronze sword and didn’t break, the sword swung only with his arm ended up being not even able to make a wound on the  body of the golem.

“Put your weight on the sword, it’s still impossible for you to slice up that steel just by swinging your arm presently.”
“I, I understand!”

Reiji put away the sword left to fate into the scabbard once again and repeats drawing it……it was a wooden stick.

“Failure huh.”

When Reiji hits his right arm once with the sword of fate, and do sheathing and drawing once again.

“Perform the change of sword without stopping your feet!”
“I, I’m sorry!”

A blade with a luxurious decoration applied appeared this time.
Although he didn’t know the material unlike bronze from looking at it’s appearance, signs were given off from the sword blade that it was an unusual thing.

“Once again!”

Following as before, Reiji slashed at the right side of the golem with the ornamental sword held in his left.
It’s sword line is sharper than just now and left a long streak scratch on the surface of the golem’s body.

“Not yet!”

According to Eligor’s advice, the sword of steel in the right hand was swung while stepping front left without stopping his movement.
Swing the sword while placing his body weight different from jumping up just now, a wound similar to an eye was made on the right arm of the golem with a stoke of the sword.

“Okay, keep going.”
“Yes!”

Eligor praises the movement of Reiji while defending the counter attacks of the golem.

Of course, although there are still shoddy spot in reality when seen by Eligor who was a skilled swordsman, his level of learning ability was phenomenal.

“Sei!”

Afterwards, whenever his sword is swung repeatedly, Reiji’s sword technique improved in a short time.
And then──

“Haa!”

Swing the sword with the power of his whole body included by pulling open the distance once again, the golem’s body was cleaved diagonally from the right shoulder to the left side.

“A, Amazing.”

“Kaaー”

Reiji who should be a beginner defeated the golem on his own although there was a.s.sistance from Eligror, and Tena and Orlaine who saw from the back were surprise and gave praise.

“Not bad.”

“Then, try if you can deal with several enemies next?”
“EH!?”

Following Eligor’s line of sight once again, three skeleton lords are approaching this time.

“Wai, 3 suddenly!?”

Apparently, Reiji’s teacher for the sword was also like a sparta instructor too.

Tena “A, Ahaha……(When you say such a thing)”
Orlaine “A, Ahaha……(some traps are probable)”
