Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

Chapter 166.2: Fangedfolk

Seven wolfmen came from all sides and the front at the same time.

I dodged their fangs and claws by a paper-thin margin and spun my body while swinging my sword.

「WHAT?!?」

Kajiega shouted in shock.

That was only natural since the seven who attacked me had also fallen at the same time.

The fanged folk were just as surprised.

「This is the end! Seven Lightstream Bullet!」

I conjured seven light bullets and fired at those standing in the front.

Though I heard that humans had a hard time even conjuring one light bullet, a high elf like me could conjure up to seven.

My magic instantly crushed their vanguard.

「Your skill has improved, Milady.」

「Awesome, Luusien-sama.」

「Yeah. I guess those fanged folk are no match for you—」

I heard a surprised voice from behind.

It seems they still had no idea about my full power.

Well, that was only natural since I rarely fight.

I was stronger than Oleora, a warrior. This was purely due to my lineage.

By nature, high elves were stronger than other elves.

「Don't let your guard down. We're outnumbered by our enemy.」

I looked around without neglecting my defense.

I had no idea how strong Kajiega was alas, maybe she wasn't that much stronger than me.

She must be regretting the fact that she had forced me to go all out.

「Hou? Not bad for an elf. Then I shall become her opponent. Can I, old hag?」

A huge wolfman with red hair stepped out from the crowd.

He held a huge steel sword in his hand.

It had thorns on the back side of the sword's blade which was decorated with countless skulls.

Anyhow, the sword was really bizarre.

「Yasab eh. Surely, you who are blessed by the great Ferion-sama might be able to deal with that high elf. Sure, deal with her. But you'll receive the assistance from this old hag.」

Kajiega looked at me without letting her guard down.

The wolfman called Yasab was really strong.

Alas, I wish she didn't underestimate me.

There was no way a mere wolfman could defeat me.

「Darkness of The Night, Come Forth and Protect This Old Woman's Family.」

Black mist appeared from Kajiega and wrapped itself around Yasab.

「A MERE WOLF KNOWS MAGIC TO PROTECT AGAINST LIGHT MAGIC!?」

I failed to hide my shock.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Though that magic couldn't completely invalidate my magic, it could weaken my magic.

「Don't underestimate this Old Woman. This isn't the first time we fought you lot. Even if you try to erase your smell with water, we know how to sniff the smell of unnaturally procured water. Since this is the first time you fight this Old Woman, you should take this as a life lesson for the next fight, if you can survive this of course.」

Kajiega sneered at me.

Oh no, this old woman is a veteran fighter.

She used to fight against the high elves.

I looked behind me.

The other fanged folk was surrounding Oleora and co.

In that case, I had to fight Kajiega and Yasab.

I took another step forward.

I had to do this to prevent Oleora and co from getting involved in my fight.

「HERE I COME, ELVEN PRINCESS! YOUR SKULL SHALL BECOME THE DECORATION OF MY SWORD!!」

Yasab was closing in while hoisting his huge sword.

Fast.

Alas, I could dodge it.

I spun my body to dodge that attack.

「Eh?」

Alas, I was still left in shock.

The trajectory of Yasab's huge sword suddenly changed in mid-air.

I twisted my body in a hurry and received the attack with my sword.

The impact of the attack transmitted into my hand, flicking my sword.

「You're too naive, Elven Princess! This is the end!」

Yasab sneered at me as he swung his sword again.

Alas, I'm not going down with this.

「Seven Lightstream Bullet!」

「GUH! YOU LITTLE!!」

The light bullets fired from my hand and hit Yasab, byt it only managed to make him flinch.

That kind of wound would be healed immediately since wolfmen had high regenerative power.

「MILADY!」

Oleora tried to rush at me.

「Woopsie! Everyone, stop that elf!」

The Fanged folk then did their best to stop Oleora and co.

「Stay right where you are as we kill the elven princess!」

Kajiega sneered at us.

Oh no!

I was sweating from my forehead.

I couldn't fire light bullets repeatedly. What should I do now?

My brain was working at its full capacity.

「THIS IS THE END!」

Alas, Yasab wouldn't wait for me to prepare countermeasures.

He raised his sword overhead.

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」

「WHAT?!?」

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind me as a small shadow leapt forward.

That shadow went ahead and collided with Yasab.

Maybe because he was completely off guard, Yasab's posture collapsed due to that collision.

The small shadow stood before me.

It was Kouki.

That moment, a silence enveloped the entire area, everyone's attention was focused on Kouki.

That was only natural since the small and powerless Kouki managed to push back Yasab who should be stronger and bigger.

Even I couldn't hide my shock.

「I-I PROMISED MY MOTHER THAT I'LL BECOME A SPLENDID KNIGHT! HOW CAN I BECOME A KNIGHT IF I JUST STAND IDLY BY AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!」

Kouki shouted while chewing his lips.

His body was trembling due to fear.

Kouki fought to protect me.

My lower abdomen felt itchy when I saw such a gallant figure of him.

Though I really wanted to hug him and lick his body clean right now, I had to endure it for now.

Thank goodness I could make myself regain my composure with magic.

「GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! YOU SHI*TTY BRAAAAAAAAT!」

Yasab roared angrily.

Yeah, he must be pissed off for sure.

We were still in deep trouble.

His momentum was stopped by Kouki alas, he moved again immediately.

Kouki picked up my sword, which had fallen on the ground.

「K-Kouki!? What are yo—」

「I, I'll fight.」

Kouki swung the sword despite trembling from head to toe.

Oh no.

No matter how gallant he was, he wouldn't be able to win against Yasab.

He only managed to push back Yasab a while ago since the latter was caught off guard.

In fact, the way Kouki swung his sword was a total mess.

Even I, who only received a bit of sword training for self-defence, could do better.

「SHI*TTY BRAT! YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME WITH SUCH A MESSY STANCE!」

Yasab roared as he swung his sword.

It was a sharp slash that cut through the air.

Unlike his uncouth appearance, the wolfman called Yasab seemed to be a really skilled swordsman.

「O Great Wicked Bea— Uhm?」

Yasab suddenly stopped his aria midway and exclaimed in shock.

Then I turned around.

「The way you swing your sword is an utter mess, yeah. Relax your shoulder and the grip on your sword.」

The voice was coming from behind me.

I gasped when I saw the speaker behind me.

Someone whose face was covered in a hood was standing right behind me.

Since when did he appear here?

Though I couldn't see his face due to his hood, the other party was a man of the human race. However, I had never expected to find a human so deep in the forest.

Who in the world is this man?

When I thought so, the hooded man walked up to Kouki and taught him how to grip the sword properly.

「Are you alright? Merely swinging your sword with raw power isn't something that you can do in a fight. You just need to grip strongly only the moment before you hit your opponent.」

It was an extremely kind and gentle voice.

It was as if he was a father teaching his son.

「U-Uhm… May I know your name?」

Even Kouki couldn't hide his shock upon seeing this man.

Alas, Kouki wasn't the most surprised one. Both us and the Fanged folk who surrounded us were just as surprised.

We were even more surprised than when Kouki's light push had blown Yasab away.

Anyhow, the man appeared literally out of nowhere.

「Good job in defending yourself so far. Leave the rest to me, I came to save you.」

He had an extremely gentle voice.

His voice reassured me somehow.

「YOU LITTLE! WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU!?」

Yasab brandished his barbarian sword to the hooded man.

At that moment, I thought that the hooded man was going to be cut down.

Alas, the following sound wasn't the sound of meat and bones being crushed down, but the sound of metal clashing against each other.

The man who should've been on the ground by now was still up, with a sword in his right hand.

When did he draw his sword?

I couldn't see the moment he drew his sword.

The hooded man's sword had the same glow as the sword made from orichalcum.

Looking at the hilt, it was definitely a dwarven-made sword.

In that case, the hooded man might be related to the dwarves.

「Well as I said before, I'll be your opponent.」

After the hooded man said so, he thrusted his sword toward Yasab.
