Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 172.5
The Rizan Group had joined forces with the Demons and brought in the Demon Army in order to drive out the other factions from this town. However, seeing them outside the town, one can only assume that they are forced to make tedious patrols outside the town, as their intentions are not going according to plan.
But the dozen or so men who spoke out were frightened of something. They had no room to spare, so much so that they pointed their arrows at a single woman who had just come to check on the town.
“Stop!”
The men were frightened of something, and at the first sound of the call, they drew their bows toward the cloaked woman who had already stopped and was standing there silently.
Arrows were shot from multiple bows. As far as they were concerned, they were not even aiming, but still some of the arrows were aimed at the woman, probably due to their archery skills, and were blown away just before they reached her.
“…”
The wind, which gradually increased in strength, whipped up the hem of the woman’s cloak and the sand in the desert.
With that much power, it could blow away even an approaching human being. However, the men would know even more fear if they knew that it was not a high-level attack Sorcery, but a [wind curtain air curtain] that only repels level 2 arrows.
“–Hi.”
Several of them let out a muffled scream as they realize the difference in strength, and the woman in the cloak points her right hand toward them as they try to escape.
“–[Hurricane]–“
The level 4 wind magic [Hurricane] raged, hoisting the men into the sky and tearing them apart with its wind blades.
Still a few men escaped the range of the [Hurricane] and turned their backs to flee.
[–Gaah!!! ]
A black shadow attacked it. The shadow tore through the fleeing men with its claws like a gale, sucked the last survivor into its mouth, and dropped it at the woman’s feet.
“Have you seen a girl with peach-blonde hair?”
The dark dark elf woman and the jet-black phantom Coeurl – Celeshura and Nero – both met the princess in the desert and learned the whereabouts of the girl they were looking for.
The Demon Army and the Earth Dragon…. Despite their hostility, the two have not given up on the girl’s survival.
They accompanied the princess until the hot-air balloon was repaired, and after seeing it fly away, they set their sights on Cutlass as their first destination.
If she was alive, she was either on the run or captured. They kidnapped and interrogated the soldiers several times, but no information was gathered.
“…Was it a miss?”
–There–
Nero snaps the neck of the man who had no idea what was going on, and the two men let out a breath as if exhaling a sigh. But their gazes were directed in a certain direction.
The man knew nothing. And he couldn’t tell them why he was frightened. Something frightened him so much that he couldn’t put it into words he could understand.
–Power–
Celeshura frowned slightly at Nero’s unexpected signal.
“…You mean you have a bad feeling?”
–There–
There was a “threat” of some kind. But he didn’t know what it was. If it was a threat, it could be an earth dragon, but they would not leave the earth dragon under the control of the Rizan Group.
Silently, Celeshura jumped on Nero’s back, and Nero ran in that direction without a sound.
No need to check. But there was something too unpleasant to ignore.
A few hundred meters into the run, Celeshura and Nero came to a hill of sand, which had been formed by the wind.
There was blackened sand and dozens of charred human remains lying on the ground.
How much power does it take to do something like this?
How much magic does it take to burn such a large area?
How mad does one have to be to do such a terrible thing?
What took their breath away was not the burnt sand as far as the eye could see, nor the countless burnt corpses.
It was a girl with wavy black hair, walking among the corpses like a girl dancing in a field of flowers, shimmering like a mirage in the burnt desert, disappearing into the desert sun.
