Sword Saint’s Disciple Volume 2 Chapter 8

“Cathia, it's an emergency! Please get up!” (Neil)

I woke up with Neil' voice and the sound of knocking on the door.

I get up from the bed and check the situation.

As far as looking out of the window it's still early in the morning.

Finish the dressing quickly and finally put the hair in the back of the head.

I suddenly got up so my head got a little cranky, but I opened the door apologetically with a spirit.

“Katysan, it's Wyvern! The place is a village in Tesca, it seems to be struggling with unusually strong individuals, a request of reinforcement!”

Wyvern …… What is a strong “individual”, is it?

Wyvern is a demon that acts in herds.

There are many individuals who were kicked out and lost in the top battle of the flock.

It is almost this pattern that comes down to the village.

From the strength of the second group of Wyvern in the herd, although it has a low frequency of occurrence, it annually loses hundreds of people in the village.

“I will head right away!”

“Horses are ready!”

While recovering equipment you left off, leave the manor house.

It seems that Mr. Gail has already gone to the soldier guild.

I ride the horse that brought me to the garden and run through the early morning town.

The cold air in the morning caresses my cheek.

Neil-san leads him because he does not know the location of Tesca village.

I noticed that the footsteps of the horse were increasing at the point where I pa.s.sed through the town.

“Finsan!”

Looking backward while being shaken by a horse, Finsan was there.
In what time?

“Finonee-san It is! Is it? why”

Neil is also surprised.
In other words, have you come along without permission?

“I will also go! It will not disturb you!”

There is no time to answer.
Switch your head.

“Finsan, what magic can you use?”

“……! Wind and water, both advanced!”

Finsan who seems to be pleased with the same synonymous question as accompanied by the bank.

I reply while aligning my horse.

After all it is a mage.

“Since Wyvern is a flying type demon, depending on the situation you can rely on magic, is not it good?”

“Yeah, leave it to me!”

Finsan put the iron with a stick with a jewel on the tip and made a fight.

Aura has the property of becoming extremely weak when leaving the body.

So soldiers of avant garde have poor methods of attack at long distances.

Because bow and arrow are hard to strengthen with aura, it seems that it is not popular in this world too much.

Even that grandfather, the flying enemies were somewhat weak.

“I saw it!”

One wyvern He is swirling over the sky raising crowning cries.

When entering through the gate of the village, a terrible sight was spreading.

Some people who have suffered major lacerations on their bodies have collapsed.
Blood was wet with soil like a puddle.

“terrible……”

Finsan murmured.

It is a terrible situation that makes me want to turn my eyes.

However, it is strange.

I felt unnatural in the state of the body.

One of them is “not seen as predisposed”.

People often hunger for most of the stray Wyvern hit the country.

Wyvern attacking large monsters and animals with herds is not good at hunting alone.

Therefore, people with low alertness towards the sky are often attacked.

For that reason, the corpse that has not been lost due to laceration is unnatural.

There is a possibility that we have finished eating before we come, but if the belly is full, it should have returned to the mountain long.

It sounds like killing itself is the purpose … ….?

“… Release” (Captain)

And then, my thought was interrupted.

Magics are released to the sky at the same time under the command of a captain.

Various magics of wind, fire, earth, water rush to the Wyvern.

And the Wyvern showed an amazing move. It properly avoided all magic both from the front and the back.

This Wyvern, it isn't normal!

“Roar!” (Wyvern)

The Wyvern is roaring. And it's flying toward an unprotected soldier after he shoots magics.

A vanguard tries to protect guard the magicians with a shield, but he is too far to help.

I kicked the horse's belly and ran. The Raza siblings are screaming from behind but I just keep riding. I can't afford to wait there.

I advance while releasing the flame magic to the sword. At I reach a sufficient distance, I pull out the sword and jump toward the Wyverm from the horse's back.

“Take this” (Cathy)

I swing down the sword at the Wyverm. My Orichalc.u.m black sword showed its performance and slashing down one side of Wyvern before the soldier's eyes.

“Guge~e!?” (Wyvern)

The frightened Wyvern flying back to the sky at once.

I rolled over the ground with the slash momentum.

“I'm sorry! Are you OK?” (Captain)

A soldier who has left hos position and come to me.

“I will buy you some time, please re-arrange the formation!” (Cathy)

Speak loudly towards the middle-aged captain who had commanded just now.

“Soldiers from the town? It seems you only have three people, what's your rank?” (Captain)

Reinforcements will be coming from the town, but it still takes time for them to get here.

“2 Rank B and 1 Rank C!” (Cathy)

“Okay! anyone who running out of the magical power retreats to the back, who can keep going are re-a.s.sembling the formation!” (Captain)

As far as I can see, the evacuation of the villagers is done.

However, if we don't stop that Wyvern here, the number of dead will be increasing.

This Wyvern is abnormal.

“Cathisan, are you okay?” (Fina + Neil)

Neil and Finsan are running toward me.

The reason is unknown, but that Wyvern's intelligence is high. After avoiding magic, it knows to aim at the soldier with the gap after shooting.

It has no sign of descent. It must be cautioned right now. I can attack if it descents like before, but there's no guarantee that the soldier won't get hurt next time.

If possible, I would like to proceed from here. To do that I need to approach it.

Wyvern will lost most of its power when you cut its legs … 

Although it's not like I can guarantee succeed, but I will earn some time even if I fail.

And I told the two of them the strategy.

“Cathia, are you serious?

To be honest, I can only think of it as a foolish strategy!

What would you do if you fail?” (Fina)

Finsan is rejecting my strategy with “Baka…”, Well, that's it.

“I know you do this in order to reduce the damage …, But won't Cathisan be in most dangerous situation then?”

Neil-san is aware of the danger and he's kind of hesitant.

Finsan is looking the dead bodies arround the village and she furrows her eyebrows, points her index at me and talks with a serious tone. 

“Let's me tell you, Cathisan. The lives of others are important but so is your, don't take your own life so lightly, okay?” (see translator's corner)

I appreciate your thoughts, but you don't need to worry.

My body carrries the lives of two people. I will not let go of it easily.

“I am okay, I won't die here just like this.” (Cathy)

“Well … I believed you” (Fina)

Although she's still uneasy but looks like she understands.
Well, should I do it? The Wyvern is still turning over the sky.
The state of the unit isn't back to normal yet.

“I don't know anything about this!” (Neil)

“It should arrive soon with its current alt.i.tude.” (Cathy)

Right now, I'm in ‘ready to jump' on Neil's b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sword.
Although Neil-san is restless, it can not be helped.
Let's start!

“Eeeeeee!” (Neil)

Neil wrapped his aura around the b.a.s.t.a.r.d and made a centrifugal force to throw me to the sky with full power.

In my past life, this movement is impossible, but anyhow the aura makes it possible. I also strengthen leg strength with aura and jump together.

My aim is slightly above the Wyvern. It seems hard to balance with this terrible wind pressure.

The Wyvern noticed me.

Was it remembering the person who slashed one of its leg earlier.

“Roar!!” (Wyvern)

The Wyvern roar somewhat joyful as It's flying toward me.

The sky is its territory after all.

The Wyvern is approaching while open its big mouth.

“Gee!?” (Wyvern)

The Wyvern lost its balance.

Finsan's magic hit it.

Advanced wind magic usually hard to aim. Finsan's magic control must be very good to precise aim like this. There's no effect on me who's flying nearby.

My strategy is become a decoy in the sky and restrict Wyvern for Finsan to cast magic. As a result, the Wyvern become vulnerable in the air in front of me.

Then, there is one action to take.

I raise my sword with both hands and I coat it with my aura and magical power.

A torrent of overflowing power from my body is poured into the sword.

“Kure!!” (Wyvern)

I swing down the flaming black sword to the stiffing wyvern brain!

At the same time, a powerful wind generated by magic pushes the back against wyvern.

“Nice a.s.sist! Finsan” (Cathy)

There is no resistance, my sword cuts off the Wyvern.

The flying Wyvern gets splited into two burning meat lumps crashed to the ground without stopping screaming.
