Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 163.2
If the two of them were heading for the colony, it would require a detour around the rocky area. But I had no use for a safe detour.
“–[Iron Rose]–“
At the sound of my voice, my peach-blond hair turned an ashen iron color like scorched ashes, and the flowing landscape in my eyes accelerated as I created a trail of scattered light like a comet.
Daring to ignore the safe path, I took a deep breath and assigned the Rose’s physical enhancement to focus on speed in order to further increase my speed.
“There…!”
Due to the magic recovery potion, I could not control Iron Rose’s fine control, but this was no problem for me.
My body, which had increased its speed even more, ran up the rocky terrain faster than the rocks falling from the cliff, slashing past the worm-like monsters that attacked me on the way.
“Found them!!!”
My enhanced detection ability caught the presence of what seemed to be Elena in the distance.
Multiple signs could be felt at the same time. A faint killing intent…. And from the presence of Elena, I felt a surge of magical power, so I immediately switched my consciousness to “battle mode”.
I could not use a throwing knife without fine control. I took out a small crossbow from my [Shadow Storage], attached a steel arrow, and leaped onto the rocky terrain.
The arrow aimed at the center of the face pierced through the Dark Elf’s right eye, and at that moment, Elena’s ice spear pierced through the man’s chest as if she had been aiming right at the man.
“Did I keep you waiting?”
“No, it was a good time, Aria.”
Elena exhaled with a smile and a breath of relief.
Apparently I made it just in time, though just in time. Ron peeled his eyes at my sudden appearance, and Naru, as well. It seemed from the looks of Ron and the others that they were not seriously injured, I turned to the remaining Cruzian men.
“Hey, Mister!”
“What are you upset about!?”
“There’s someone on the cliff across from us!”
The Cruzians began to make some noise, and one of the men shouted and held up a bow and arrow. They saw my equipment and decided that I was the same person they had observed in town.
An arrow was fired from the man. Some of them tried to ready arrows in the same way, but arrows could not penetrate a warrior of Rank 4 or above. As long as one was not careless, they would be able to see the arrow and then… They could have avoided it.
“She Jumped!?”
Without running, I leapt more than ten meters to the other side with only my physical strength. No more Iron Rose. I used the cloak I had taken off in midair and the light traces that still remained as a decoy to avoid the arrows and landed in front of them, slashing at their throats with my knife and dagger as they tried to reload their bows.
“Wha, what are you?”
“Die!!”
“A Woman!”
There were three men left – two in their forties and one in his twenties. The man in his 20s, who was the slowest to draw his weapon, received a throwing knife between the eyes as after I pulled my skirt up, and pulled out my throwing knife to be tossed.
“Aria!”
“Roger!”
When I heard Elena’s voice, I understood. I have questions for them to ask as well.
I stepped forward, my black knife and dagger readied in both hands, and the first man who had shouted stepped back as if looking for a way to escape, while the other man, trembling with rage at the murder of his comrade, came at me with a spear in his hand.
“I’ll take that guy.”
“Gggghh!”
It would take a long time to interrogate a man with a strong sense of camaraderie. I deflected the tip of the spear, pushing it away from me with my hand, slashed at his neck with my knife as if passing by him, and as I slipped past him, blood gushed out of his neck, and before I could get to the other one, the last man tried to escape, after throwing his spear at me.
“Gwah!”
A Heavy Pendulum struck the back of his head, and the man who took the impact fell down, and after catching the spear he tossed, I stab it on the other man, leaving only one of them alive.
“You want to live, don’t you? I’ll let you live if you talk.”
