To Deprive a Deprived Person Chapter 224

TDADP chapter 224: Counterattack begins

「Kiringirin, it's going to be troublesome」

Kiringirin's comrade watches his surroundings. Ran's unique skill 『Sea of Clouds』 continues to expand to cover the miscellaneous forest.

「I know. I will play with that dark elf, so you take care of the rest」

「What Kiringirin wants to say is that he will fight that dark elf alone as she is far above us」

「That's right. The information is in your head, isn't it? Don't go into the fog if you don't want to make a mistake」

「I won't go even if you told me. The demon beast is waiting in the mist」

It was Kiringirin and his comrades who said so lightly, but had not neglected any precautions around them. Kiringirin, who was unexpectedly caught between Lena and Marifa, were playing around while looking around whether there were other enemies lurking. On the other hand, Agafon´s party who had fallen into a remote area loosened their mouths to the appearance of Lena and Marifa, despite being in battle. It seems that Kiringirin was so close, but Lena's expression is on the opposite side of Agafon. It was obvious that she was angry from the perspective of a third party that they couldn't usually think of Lena with her poor emotional expressions.

「Lena-san, we...... they got an item pouch made from leader......they have stolen it」

「......So」

Lena does not take her eyes off Agafon´s party despite the enemy. At the end of the line of sight was the appearance of Agafon and the others who were dyed in red and black due to internal bleeding, due to countless cuts and bruises, although they were unavoidable at the critical point. In addition, the bones throughout the whole body were broken or cracked and it was incredibly that they had not yet fallen, although it was not apparent from the appearance. Among them, Flavia´s appearance was particularly terrible and her face was swollen enough to judge her as Flavia only from her clothes and equipment. It is not due to battle. It is due to someone who is deliberately twisted so as to make fun of the dignity of the other party and to make a woman feel humiliated.

「It's dangerous!!」

Agafon shouts. Wind blades approach Lena from behind. It was Kiringirin´s comrade. When it was a good opportunity to attack Lena, which was full of gaps earlier, the rank 2 spirit magic, 『Wind Blade - Wind G.o.d petal』 was released without chanting. Countless wind blades rush to Lena like petals. Even if Lena is wearing a strong armor, those wind blades penetrates through small gaps and cuts the object. But instead of looking back, Lena did not even respond to Agafon's voice. However, she put power into the hand holding the cane. As if to contain the anger that cannot be suppressed.

「Are you serious......」

The man who casted the spirit magic whispered involuntarily. The man was not optimistic about being stopped by the current attack, but he never thought Lena would be able to get over it unscathed.

「......I won't forgive you」

Countless scars were carved on the ground. This is due to 『Wind Blade - Wind G.o.d petal』 clashing against Lena´s barrier. Usually, the barrier used by the rear guards develops magic power to protect a part of the body. This is because if you develop a barrier that covers the whole body, the amount of MP consumed increases in proportion to the range and the strength is inevitably inferior to the barrier that only partially develops. In other words, the amount of MP consumed is large and the strength is not relied upon. This will not be useful in battle, and it will not be possible to secure enough MP for attack magic. However, the barrier bound by Lena covered herself in a spherical shape and the strength was surprising for Kiringirin. Even though the MP consumed is supposed to be enormous, Lena doesn't even look tired. It was understood enough to Kiringirin who was an adventurer before that it was not thin patience.

「It's a spherical formed barrier and its strength...... is the blood of Arne Forma inherit by her? And what about that barrier, isn't it spinning?」

「I once saw a high-ranking magician using the same technique」

「Did you say that the high-ranking barrier you saw was the same strength as that of red meteor's predecessor 『Ice Blood Judgement Sky』?」

「I haven't said so far, but it might be a similar skill」

Kiringirin's comrades continued to be alert to the appearance of Lena, who was still facing her back, but at that time Lena banged the ground with her cane. Six magical threads from the tip of the wand extend to Agafon´s party. It's a familiar sight for Agafon and the others, but an unknown technique for those who see it for the first time. It was Kiringirin's comrades who were watching the situation judging that it was dangerous to jump into the detour without knowing what effect it has.

「What!? She is doing a healing magic through the magic threads」

「This is not the time to be looking at it. Look! They're recovering with a tremendous momentum!」

「Tsk. If that stupid Dominik hadn't played around, we would be in the process of returning to the royal capital by now!」

Through the magic threads that Lena unfolds, the wounds of Agafon´s party recover while they are seen. After that, Kiringirin's comrades begin to move in the form of enemies that had been driven to the point where they stabbed their friends.

「Are you sure you don't want to join?」

Marifa asks Kiringirin who she confronts right now. Originally, it was Kiringirin who was about to attack Lena from behind, but he was intercepted by Marifa. As evidence, countless insect carca.s.ses were rolling around Kiringirin. Everything that Marifa released.

「I can't leave a dangerous guy like you alone」

The tip of Kiringirin's spear was aimed between Marifa's eyebrows. The distance between the two is about twelve or thirteen meters. Although it is not very far, it is not the distance that the spear can reach, but when Kiringirin twists his waist, he shoots forward at a speed as if the upper body disappeared. At the same time, sparks scattered around Marifa, and the trees behind her are blown away. Dozens of black mist feather ants that have steel hardness fall to the ground as if they had finished their roles.

「A nasty bug」

「That's my line. Even if you try to attack from outside the range of the spear, it seems that your spear will grow」

Kiringirin has the nickname 『Messalina's spear』. This spear is given the skill 『Stretching』 and can literally let the tip of the spear stretch and shrink. If Kiringirin uses the spear with this skill 『Stretching』, his opponent will think the spear is harmless, but if they notice it, they will their heart penetrated. Marifa who decided that she couldn't lose her stamina with her own ability because of its speed and lightness, but by holding her insects together rather than cheating, she was trying to find a chance.

「Gaauuu!!」

Koro jumps towards Kiringirin with a short scream. In the wide open jaw, fangs that are mistaken for blades are lined up. Kiringirin chooses a method that will surely slaughter it, despite the fact that Koro will bite him and he receives some attack. Instead of clashing directly from the front, Koro jumps towards him. In front of Kiringirin's eyes, who easily avoided Koro´s bite, there is Koro who exposes his unprotected body. He tries to shoot a spear on his side, but a tail like a thorn is approaching Kiringirin's neck from .

「Another subordinate」

Kiringirin pary the tail with his spear, but Ran remains hidden in 『Sea of Clouds』 without showing up. And Koro does not miss the moment when Kiringirin was distracted by Ran. When it opens its chin bigger than before, it releases a high-heated breath toward Kiringirin. The high-heated breath released linearly captures Kiringirin. It is a high-heated breath that does not leave bones if eaten properly. Koro is confident of winning without loosening the breath.

「Gaaaaaa!?」

A linear breath attacked Kiringirin. Suddenly he used the spear technique 『Giant Swing Receiver』. It is a technique to pary an attack by turning the spear at high speed, but Kiringirin received Koro´s breath with that technique. When Koro, who stopped breathing, stopped his breath, Kiringirin stood there.

「What's up? It's over――」

In front of Kiringirin who solved his technique, a black arrow from Marifa was approaching. Despite being a complete imaginary attack, Kiringirin evaded the arrow easily. But Marifa's aim was there. Marifa's archery level is 3. Marifa has never thought that it would hit a higher-level adventurer like Kiringirin, although it would be enough if an average person was the opponent. Marifa's real aim was not to hit him with the arrow, but to attack him with the poison of the Barrett ant that has been attached to the arrow. Black powder drifts in the air from the arrow perry by Kiringirin. Marifa, who knows the ident.i.ty of the black powder, was already ready to shoot the next arrow. There is no such thing as shooting through opponents who are struggling with poison.

「Shii!」

With the sound of a voice and a spear pa.s.sing through the air, the dead bodies of The Barrett ants fall one after another on the ground. To be the most frightening thing, Kiringirin killed all hundreds of barrett ants that were attached to the arrow with his spear. Since the barrett ant's attack fails, the next step is also wasted. Marifa unties the bow and recalls Koro.

「Every monster can be managed one by one, but can you become a Trinity by manipulating them? You´re a really nasty opponent」

「I said earlier, that is my line」

Even in the face of a strong man, even if the attack did not work at all, Marifa's heart was not shaken. The enemies of Yuu, her master, must be killed. When Marifa puts her hand on her right eye, she released some of her magic power.
