The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 100
(Are those… the Templar Knights?)
From what I can see from here, about eight Knights clad in all-white cloaks lay incapacitated in the street.
(I’m sorry for the two that went ahead of us, but we can’t miss this opportunity!!)
“…”
【Activated：Erase Presence (Medium)】
Blazer, who has been running alongside me, seems to have the same idea and instantly hides his presence and disappears from the roof and into the alleyway.
(Soar! Whirlwind!!)
After confirming his position, I covered my feet in whirlwinds and jumped towards the white-masked monster from the roof!
“Guruaoooooon!!”
【Activated：Battlecry】
“!?”
I guess it was a bad idea to activate the Hellhound’s Roar while launching my surprise attack since it allowed the white-masked monster to turn his body to the side and evade my leg which was aimed at the back of his head, causing it to cut through empty air.
“Gauh!” (Tsk!)
I passed over Alvesta’s shoulder and landed forward, pulling out my scimitar just as I faced the guy who was caught off-balance with the attack. With the centrifugal force of that motion, I slammed the hilt of my curved blade into his mask!
“Aa……h, giaaaaaaaaah!?”
Alvesta moved backward, covered his mask with his left hand and screeched.
“Garuoaaan!” (You’re not going anywhere!)
“Giiiiih, aaaaah!!”
I tried to cut my way into him with the curved blade I pulled out, but he caught it with the reddish-black blade that sprouted from his right arm and immediately drove his knee into the pit of my stomach.
“Guoh!?”
In the time that I recoiled from the attack, the white-masked monster quickly jumped back and thrust his left arm towards me as he stepped further back.
“S-strike down… my enemies, continuous Light Bullets.”
“Vooooh!!” (Uoooh!!)
Of the two light bullets that flew towards me with a slight time gap in between, I was able to dodge the first bullet with a half-turn. But seeing that it was impossible to avoid getting hit by the next bullet, I crushed it with my whirlwind-covered left fist.
FWOOM…
Although I avoided a direct hit to my body, my left fist was burned by the Holy Light and the smell of burnt flesh wafted through the air.
“Ugah, garuuah!!” (Ugah, you s**t!!)
Enduring the pain, I threw my curved sword towards Alvesta’s mask before he could fire more Light Bullets.
“I-it’s a hopeless struggle!!”
But the moment he turned to keep the spinning projectile from hitting his upper body, something happened!
A black longsword suddenly extended from the darkness of the empty alleyway!
“Wha!?”
“Guruooaaah!!” (You’re finished!!)
Following the tip of the sword was the tall, skinny Kobold who leaped out of the alleyway with a roar while holding the black longsword horizontally. The thrust did not miss its aim and smashed Alvesta’s mask with a loud crack.
“GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAH!!”
With a scream, the white-masked monster jumps back and lashes out like a madman, scattering his blood screen everywhere. He desperately covered his face with his palms, but fragments of the mask spilled out of the gaps…
“…!!!”
Blazer, cautious of the blood spray, gives up the chase and retreats to my side.
Blazer’s fur had turned a slightly reddish-brown, and the black hairs on his back were gone. Furthermore, his limbs seemed more powerful and supple than they did just a moment ago, and his slightly elongated tail is filled with magic that is hard to describe.
“Gauh, garuuu…” (Tsk, the cut was too shallow…)
Blazer, who muttered to himself, did not notice that his figure had changed but there was no time to point it out.
“Guruo voruaaaaan!” (Let’s end this here!)
As I stretched to my full height, I grabbed the mechanical bow Baroque and aimed while Blazer who was next to me also activated his gauntlet’s contraption and deployed the small crossbow that was integrated into his glove, but…
“AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!”
Screaming as he turned around, Alvesta ran as fast as he could. Just as we thought that he was going to escape again, the fellow who caught up to us a few seconds later due to his huge body frame jumped out from the corner of the alleyway!
“Voruaaaaah!!” (This is as far as you’ll go!!)
“Uaaaaah!?”
As Ax swung out the duel shield with his thick, muscular arms, it connected and resounded with a cracking sound, shattering the white mask into pieces.
“Uh——uhhh—-AAAAAAAH!!”
The black-clothed monster who had lost his mask which was the source of his existence, covered his face with his hands as he glared at Ax through the gaps of his fingers as his body melted into a viscous mulch and crumbled away.
Only the black robe, the fragments of the mask, and a large pool of blood remained on the street….. And like that, the poor priest who was trapped in his delusion finally went to sleep.
