“Old Man! Start with the one closest to you!”
“B-but with a sword, it’s a bit…”
Arnold knew about the specialties of the Ganrock and knew that he wouldn’t be able to do much with his current armaments.
“Don’t worry, I’m going to use this!”
He said as he began writing a word. The word collided with the Ganrock in front of Arnold.
“Now!”
“I-I don’t really get it, but Ora!”
But, the Ganrock dodged to the side
“Like I’d let you escape!”
He turned his blade sideways and slashed at it horizontally.
And, for some reason, the Ganrock’s body split perfectly in two.
“Eh? …wha?”
The lack of resistance from his enemy shocked him. That’s right, there was barely any force acting against his blade. It felt as if he were swinging his sword through a ball of sand.
“Hey, on to the next one!”
Hiiro sent out another word. But perhaps the Ganrocks had become more vigilant. They jumped up to avoid it. The Word hit the ground and activated, and as soon as one of the Ganrocks landed, it sunk into it.
“Ah! I see, so that’s it!”
It seemed that Arnold finally understood the effect of the word. He turned his eyes to Hiiro.
“You have a word that makes things softer?”
Correct. The word that Hiiro used was 『Soft』. The first Ganrock felt its effect and was easily cleaved in half by a sword. When the ground was affected by it, the Ganrock buried itself with its own weight.
“Old Man, I’ll leave that buried one to you!”
Saying that, Hiiro once again began concentrating. Arnold turned his gaze to the Ganrock, who was desperately struggling to get out of the ground.
“Fufun. If it’s an immobile Ganrock, then all I have to do is concentrate my power and break it!”
He took a stance with his large sword.
《Wind Fang》!
The wind wrapped around the blade.
“More. I have to bind it stronger, or it won’t go through their bodies.”
With plenty of time, he continued to strengthen his sword. Eventually he positioned himself to thrust.
“HAAAAAAAAAH!”
The sword passed perfectly through the Ganrock’s body. And it seemed that Hiiro was able to use his 《Word Magic》 to defeat the last one easily.
“Fuu~ That was hectic.”
Arnold lowered his back onto the ground and took a deep breath.
“You were suddenly sent flying. My insides went cold for a moment.”
“Are you alright?”
Muir let out a worried voice.
“No problem. But it consumed more magic than I thought.”
Air Writing cost 100 MP, so even with his large reserve of Mana, Hiiro couldn’t use it too often. Though he had MP recovery items, there was no telling what would happen next, so it was best to save them.
“Then we better get out quickly.”
“Right.”
“Let’s go.”
The Three pressed onwards. Eventually, they arrived at another open area. But to their delight, they could see a light at the end of the gently sloping path.
