Volume 2 Chapter 28 The Exiled Hero and Another Hero Party IV
On the other hand, the Lawrence Hero Party was.
In the highland northeast of the Demon King country, they were on combat alert.
"Everyone, the enemy is a demon called Shadow Wolf."
The magician Eli said with his eyes closed.
He was using his clairvoyance to see the enemy they would soon encounter from a distance.
"In terms of strength, they're about low-level demons, around SS-Rank monsters. But the problem is, the Shadow Wolves will keep spawning endlessly unless we defeat their boss."
"I see... alright! Someone, give me your opinion!"
Lawrence looked around at his teammates and said.
"Huh...!?"
The new magic knight, Suigetsu, was surprised to see that.
"Hey! What's wrong, Suigetsu!"
"Ah, no... it's nothing at all..."
The hero, being the leader, gathered opinions from his teammates.
She was surprised because this was an unimaginable scene in her previous party.
"Shouldn't we just find and kill the boss of the Shadow Wolves?"
"But the tricky part is that the boss looks exactly the same as the other minions."
"I see... so we need a way to protect ourselves. How about this plan?"
Everyone was actively sharing their ideas.
Suigetsu watched this and felt impressed.
"Alright! Then let's go with the plan!"
"Yeah!"
After a while.
A group of Shadow Wolves appeared in front of Lawrence and the others.
"Here we go! [Nova Strike]!"
Eli unleashed a massive spell without chanting.
With a powerful blast, the Shadow Wolves were blown to pieces.
"Now the battle has begun! This is Ulgar's SHOWTIME!"
With a thud...!
Ulgar started running ahead.
With his elegant spear skills, Ulgar accurately stabbed the hearts of the wolves that Eli had missed.
"W-wow... that guy alone has firepower equal to the Far Eastern Hero Party..."
"He may be a fool, but he's a man who gets things done when it matters. Everyone relies on him."
Mida laughed while attacking with her bow.
On the other hand, Lawrence crouched down, put his hand on the sheath, and closed his eyes.
She wondered what he was doing while everyone else was fighting...?
"Suigetsu! It went that way!"
"Huh? Ah...!"
While she was spaced out, a dark wolf slipped through Ulgar and the others and came toward their rearguard.
"Ugh...!"
She blocked one with her shield, but that dark wolf split apart.
It bit Suigetsu's arm.
"Ah...!"
In that moment, several dark wolves slipped past and attacked Eli and the others in the rearguard.
"You two, run away!"
It was then.
"This is just how it is!"
Thud...!
Ulgar jumped in front of Eli and the others in an instant.
When Ulgar swung his spear, the group of dark wolves scattered.
"I-I'm so sorry-degozaru! I have troubled you, Lord Ulgar..."
Back in the days of the Far East Hero Party, I was scolded by Higami like a raging fire for slowing everyone down.
"Heh. It's fine. Cleaning up after my juniors is also my job as a senior."
But Ulgar did not scold her, and he patted her on the shoulder.
"Come on, we're almost there. Hang in there!"
"Yes!"
Ulgar moved slightly back in the front line and fought close to the rearguard.
He was backing up Suigetsu.
The vanguard cut through the dark wolves, but every time they did, the enemies split apart.
"Ugh! It's never-ending-degozaru!"
"Well, don't rush. Our job is to buy time."
Ulgar, along with the other members, had a relaxed air about them.
This was because they had absolute trust in Lawrence, their leader.
"Can, can we take them down-degozaru?"
"Of course. Who do you think he is?"
With a snap, Lawrence opened his eyes wide.
"All personnel, retreat!"
"It's MY TURN!"
Vivre transformed into the form of a Demon Dragon, and Ulgar and the others climbed onto its back.
While the dragon retreated at an incredible speed, a group of dark wolves gathered around the lone Lawrence.
"[Zodiac Slash]!"
With a fierce spirit, Lawrence swung his sword at high speed.
At that moment, a tear in space appeared above his head.
Countless dark wolves were sucked into that tear.
"Ah, what is that... I wonder what it is-degozaru?"
"It's cutting through space and forcibly sending the opponent to another place."
Eli, the magician, explains.
"Another place, you say?"
"It's the sun."
"What!? T-the SUN!?"
The dark wolves that were sucked in were thrown to the sun far away, and all of them were burned by the sun's flames and died.
"He connected to the sun beyond the sky by cutting through space... that's incredible-degozaru."
Because Suigetsu is a swordsman, she feels more than anyone how amazing Lawrence's extraordinary skill was.
Hero Lawrence.
People call him the Hero that surpasses all heroes — Great Hero.
He was truly a swordsman who could be called a superhuman without any falsehood in that title.
"Everyone, thank you!"
After putting away his greatsword, Lawrence smiled widely at his friends and said.
"This victory was won together! I appreciate it!"
Suigetsu showed a face of surprise for the umpteenth time.
It was because the one who did great was expressing gratitude to his party members who assisted him.
During the Eastern Hero Party days, Higami had never spoken a kind word to his teammates even after defeating enemies.
"Good job, Mr. Lawrence!"
"Your sword skills were as amazing as ever, really incredible."
While praising Lawrence...
"Hey, hey Lawrence, what was that sword technique earlier? Isn't the time to charge too long? It burdens the others too much."
Ulgar critiques him.
Giving advice to the Hero who landed the finishing blow was something unthinkable in Higami's party.
It was almost equivalent to a harsh punishment.
"Hmm! It seems so! I'm sorry!"
Lawrence readily admits his fault and bows deeply.
"How can I shorten it?"
"Only practice! Like swinging a sword a trillion times!"
"That's not just about spirit... Eli, do you have any solutions?"
"I'm going to try to shorten it by referring to the Unique Time Acceleration that Mr. Act is using."
"I see! Thank you, Eli! You really are dependable!"
"Hey, hey, I'm dependable too, right?"
"Yes! I'm also counting on you, Ulgar!"
Suigetsu looks at Lawrence and the others, feeling confused because they are so different from her original party.
"Suigetsu, is your arm okay?"
The healer, Luna, comes closer and instantly heals the injury.
"I-I'm fine-degozaru. Thank you very much."
"I healed the injury, but there might be curses or poison, so we need to check carefully."
"I-I'm fine-degozaru! You don't need to go that far."
Then Lawrence opens his eyes wide in surprise.
"What! Did Suigetsu receive a curse? This is serious!"
"N-no... um..."
Flustered, Lawrence starts to panic.
"Ms. Suigetsu, are you okay!? We need to get back to town right away!"
"We have to hurry!"
Carried on the back of the Demon Dragon, they hurry back to the town.
"Stay calm! Luna is also very skilled at removing curses!"
"No, um, I'm really okay-degozaru..."
"Well, well, Suigetsu. It's not good to make a judgment as a beginner. You should let them check properly."
"But isn't it a hassle?"
"No way! You're an important teammate! I don't want to lose you, so I won't mind the trouble!"
Everyone in the party nods.
As a member, being cared for like this... makes Suigetsu so happy that tears flow down.
"Huh! What's wrong, Suigetsu? Is your stomach hurting?"
"N-no... that's not it-degozaru. It's just... I'm so happy..."
Suigetsu thinks.
She is really glad to have left her former place behind.
She is truly happy to have become a member of this Hero's party.
And she gives her utmost gratitude to the Guildmaster who introduced her to Lawrence.
"Thank you, Lord Act..."
