Auber easily avoided the rock cannonball that came flying from behind with a fluid movement.
Can Ghyslaine give chase ...... no, that’s impossible.
Flour was showered on her face, making her eyes shed tears uncontrollably and causing her to sneeze repeatedly.
Mixed with spices, it's a special tear gas from Auber.
Slipping around Ghyslaine like a cockroach, Auber was getting close to Sylphy and Eris who were slaughtering the soldiers.
"Retreat! Retreat! Redo again!"
With those words, men begin to escape into the forest all at once.
And, Eris noticed Auber at the same time.
Moving her body to protect Sylphy, she was trying to intercept him.
"Ugaaaaaa!!"
"『My sword, ablaze!』"
At the same time the chanting stopped, Auber’s sword was covered in flames.
While sidestepping in and quickly removing something from his waist, Auber put something in his mouth.
I also know this trick.
I can make it.
"Buuuu~~!"
"『Water Wall!』"
Oil gushes from Auber’s mouth to ignite the flaming sword, and attacks Eris.
But the magic I launched managed to stop it.
The fire hit the water wall and was extinguished in a moment.
Eris does not care about the water wall in front of her.
So as to tear to pieces both the opponent and my magical attacks, she slashed her raised sword diagonally downward from the shoulder, assailing Auber.
"Taaaaaa!"
A sound of *Zan~tsu*, was heard.
With a thud, the upper body of Auber, who was divided, fell to the ground.
"Alright!"
"Che."
While I was delighted, Eris clicked her tongue.
When I looked closely, what fell to the ground was not Auber’s upper body.
It's a log.
Without realising it, a log had fallen on the ground.
The log wrapped in a sand covered cloak.
N ......?
I wonder what happened.
It should have been seen with my Foresight Eye, but I do not know what happened.
And at that moment, I thought that something was flying towards the log. A Talon Claw.
A claw with a rope flew toward the log.
Catching onto the cloth and pulling it from a distance.
The cloth flew lightly in the air and settled into the man that was holding the tip of the rope.
In the forest, there was Auber, wearing a cloak and hiding behind some flowers.
Auber, that he would recover his cloak with that claw...
Is that cloak some kind of magic item?
To allow the party wearing the cloak to instantly swap out like that...
Was it Utsusemi no Jutsu [Substitute Art]?
I didn’t hear about this, boss!
"You’ve improved your skills, Mad Dog! I’ll be leaving first! Let us meet again!"
"Wait!"
"Wait, Eris!"
Eris tried to chase Auber, but she was stopped by Sylphy.
"There are still soldiers in the forest, don’t chase after him alone!"
After hearing these words, Eris looked back towards me.
Then, to the direction where Auber disappeared.
And clicking her tongue, she sheathed her sword.
"Hmph."
Eris walked back towards me unhappily,
Sylphy continued to vigilantly search for remaining enemies while holding her wand.
For now, there seems to be no signs of any enemies nearby.
Only corpses remain.
"Whew......"
For now, the raid will end with this.
But, Auber may launch another surprise attack, so we must stay alert.
We should at least stay vigilant until the night
