The Peerless Kobold - Chapter 111
“Zayed! Dammit!!”
The spearman who stood a little to the left of the swordsman who had been stabbed through the chest cursed out. His eyes have not yet adjusted to the faint amount of moonlight, but even he can at least discern the moving shadows.
“Take thiiiiiiiiiiis!!”
Grasping the hilt of his stabbing spear with both hands, he took a hard step with his dominant foot and delivered a sharp thrust to the shadow.
“Gaah” (Tsk!)
Blazer, the shadow’s true identity, let go of his black longsword, stepped back with his right foot, and avoided the strike to his upper body by a paper-thin margin.
Furthermore, he grabbed the extended spear with both hands and pulled it toward him with full force!
“Vuoooooooh!!”
“Uoooh!?”
As the spearman was pulled towards him, the tall, skinny kobold closed the distance by stepping forward with his left foot. Extending his right hand, he grabbed the spearman by the throat.
“G-gahah!”
“Woruah! Guaruoaaah!!” (Gotcha! Flaming Claws!!)
The magical flame that spewed forth from his palm dazzlingly lit up the otherwise dark space as his enemy went up in flames.
“GIIIIIAAAAAAAAAH!!”
The flame not only scorched the spearman’s throat and took his breath away, but it also consumed his whole body.
Determining that he cannot fight after dealing serious damage to his opponent, Blazer pulled out his black longsword from the swordsman’s chest as he jumped back and pulled away…
At the same time, Lancer was also swiftly attacking the guards on the other side.
“Ruaaaaaaaaaan!!” (I’ll run you through with all I’ve got!)
“E-eh!?… wha, aaaaaaaaahhhh!”
She used her slash spear to pierce the belly of the large guard who was blinded by the difference in light and dark that accompanied the disappearance of the light from the bonfire.
“Woonn!” (Get out of the way!)
Lancer drew out the spear piercing the large man’s stomach and kicked him away as he screamed in shock.
As she pulled out the spear, she removed her left hand from the handle and loosened her right-hand grip to slide the handle towards the blade to switch the spear to a slashing weapon.
“Uraaaaaaaah!!”
“Garuuuh!!” (Too slow!!)
Clash
Against the shield user’s sword which he brought down in a side slash, she thrust out her left hand as she striked with a centrifugal-powered sideways cleave.
“Kuruoaaan!” (Glimmer, Holy Light!)
“Ugh!? Uuugh, guaaaaaah!!”
A dazzling flash of light momentarily blinded the shield user again. Using that opportunity, Lancer stepped sideways and slashed him from the side in a flash.
As a result, the large guard who was kicked away after being stabbed through his stomach and the shield user who was subsequently slashed from the side both fell forward while holding their bellies.
Meanwhile, diagonally in front of Lancer who had incapacitated the two men in a short time was the big, blue kobold who swung his great shield with all his strength.
“Uwoooooon!!” (Deryaaaaah!!)
Plunk
“Gah!?”
The warrior who was struck on the head by the great shield in full force instantly fell unconscious and dropped to the ground.
“Woruwon garua~” (We’re coming for you~)
“Guheh!”
Not paying attention to a different opponent who was slashing at him, Ax sent his attacker flying with a splendid Shield Bash, while a black shadow flew from behind him.
“Kuoorua♪” (I’ll take you by surprise♪)
【Activated：Leap Enhancement (Large)】
With a line I heard from somewhere, Dagger leaped over Ax and attacked the swordsman who had lost his balance!
Spinning mid-air, she took her mechanical dagger and spun it around her finger for an underhanded grip. Taking a half-step as soon as she landed, she stabbed her opponent on the chest plate, but her attack was blocked by the metal plate incorporated in his lamellar armor.
“Guh!?”
“Uwoh” (Hnn)
Without stepping away, she slid her blade-tip back and inserted the dagger into the connection between the metal pieces. Pushing the button on the contraption again, the blade sprung out with force and broke the armor’s seams, stabbing the man on the chest.
“Guuuh, aaah… aa..aah…”
The man staggered backward, propping himself up on one knee. The metal armor seems to have done its work by preventing him from acquiring a fatal wound, but the attack left him unable to fight. If he moved too forcefully, he would bleed out and the injury would become life-threatening…
As my companions attacked aggressively, I held my curved blade in one hand as I closed in on the sorcerer who had jumped back earlier.
However, a bouncer-like man who was equipped with armor held a pair of large knives in both hands and intercepted my attack.
“Garuaaaaaaah!!” (Slash!!)
“Tsk.”
The dagger wielder caught the flash of my sideways draw with his specialized weapons and without pause, he slid his right-handed large knife with the blade pressed against the curved sword and aimed for my throat.
“Guuuh!” (Guuuh!)
Anticipating the move, I backstepped to gain some distance away from him, but the dagger wielder who spun and switched the position of his large knife into an underhanded grip came after me.
“Daraaaaaaah!!”
“Voruah!” (You bastard!)
Clutching his right blade in a backhand grip, he unleashed a blow that nicked my jaw through a short uppercut and, narrowly missing my vitals, plunged the blade in his left hand into my flank!
As I stopped the other blade coming in from above with my left palm, I dodged the blade by turning my body away and retaliated with a concentrated wind magic attack.
“Guruah!” (Slash through!)
“Uuahh!?”
The wind blade cut off the dagger wielder’s right hand and he jumped away to keep his distance… And just as my companions and I were finishing the initial assault, the remaining guards woke up in an uproar.
