SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER 52

Fifty-Second Episode~ Wyvern Battle

Editor’s note: I just want to say that I am sorry for this chapter not being posted correctly . I was out for my regular D&D/Pathfinder game night and didn’t find out it was all messed up until after it was posted . The unedited version was posted . I am really sorry…

(Writing from phone) Ok friends . I know that this chapter is not the best and I missed some things do to being slightly rushed today (I was busy) and my proofreader Gillium is feeling under the weather so they also missed some stuff . If we miss something, we will fix it tomorrow . Thank you and stay beautiful .

The morning sun rises,

“It’s morning~ . Everyone . The preparations are ready . ”

Eris’s high-pitched voice rings out .

The sleepy adventurers quickly gather without complaining .

“Well then-everyone . We are going to kill the last of the dragons and ants . The strategy is as we discussed yesterday . As for decisions in the middle of battle, I leave the directions to each clan leader . As for the rear, individual instructions aren’t needed, correct?”

“Nada . ”

“Ou . ”

“Roger . ”

“Let’s do this thang . ” (TL: I did this on purpose . ) [ED:… . I almost changed it… I was super tempted . ]

The leaders of the adventurers raise spirited voices .

“Yes, then, let’s go . ”

The magic users and bow users of the rear guard follow to the place behind the obstacle .

I can see Sarah and Butch at the head of the vanguard .

They slip through the obstacle with quick movements and run .

Their target is not the imperial ants; it seems to be the Wyverns on this side .

A little later, I can make out the figures of Lushell and Belize .

As discussed, Crimson Tiger’s Tempest are the ones acting as the advance guard .

The moment that Sarah and Butch head to attack the wyvern .

-Lushell releases paralysis magic, invoking it below the wyvern .

Bands of light come from the magic formation and seize the legs and body of the wyvern .

The remaining wyverns seem to understand their companion was attacked by adventurers and all stop moving simultaneously .

However, the fierce battle between the wyverns and imperial ants does not stop .

The wyvern that has its movements sealed by the attack of the adventurers ignores the imperial ants .

The imperial ants continue their furious assault on the wyverns .

Us adventurers are cooperating with the imperial ants .

Profiting from the fight, we succeed in separating only one of the wyverns .

There, Belize fires an arrow from her bow at the sealed wyvern .

They skillfully stick into the strong scales .

Are those specially made?

When I am interested in the bow and arrows Belize is using, the vanguards belonging to the adventurer clans all attack the wyvern together .

Without being seen, I blend in with them .

I make eye contact with Rollo and nod .

Rollo and I begin attacking alongside the assault .

Swords, hammers, axes, spears, arrows and magic . Multiple attacks fly about in a jumble .

The hard dark green scales of the wyvern are easily destroyed by the intense attack of the adventurers, green pieces of flesh are flying about .

I aim for a place where the scales have been damaged and green blood flows out, then fire consecutive <Thrusts> while conscious of the twist .

The black spear pierces deep into the green flesh, when the tip of the black blade reaches beyond the muscle and reaches the bones of the feet, I can feel the collision .

Rollo also attacks the wyvern, gouging out green flesh with her claws and tearing it away with her fangs .

Eating the meat, she takes some distance and extends her feeler bone sword into the leg and abdomen creating a conspicuous wound .

Then, the panther form of Rollo takes a bold action .

Instead of the feeler going straight ahead as always, instead, it draws an arc and the feeler bone sword stabs directly into the dragon’s wing film . Rollo retracts her feelers and pulls her panther form onto the dragon’s wing .

Oooh, isn’t that amazing?

She succeeds in boarding the large dragon’s wing .

Rollodinu moves towards to wyvern’s back in her panther form, biting the membrane and setting her hooked claws into it,

That membrane seems to be soft .

Rollo stabs her bone sword into a gap in the scales of the wyvern’s back and stabilizes herself .

She runs across the dragon’s back inflicting cuts across its wings .

The wyvern’s movements are sealed by the magic and can do nothing .

As usual, she really is a divine beast .

However, the lower part of its body can move .

At the back of the wyvern, the dwarf with the conspicuous tattooed face attacks the tail with his ax and a dull sound rings out .

The scales are scattered and the meat sliced .

-The long tail is removed steadily .

Oh, that last movement seems to have been some kind of skill .

The Dwarf’s body spins lengthwise and the large ax blade descends .

A single great blow of the ax cuts through the bone of the tail, severing it, and green blood gushes out soaking the Dwarf’s face .

There is so much blood that the dwarf is knocked over .

The pointed bone tip of the lizard-like severed tail twitches irregularly . Something indistinguishable from poison foams up from it like green blood .

At that time, Sarah’s limbs and her grasped cutlasses become gigantic .

Long red hair grows in the streams from her limbs and her muscles swell .

Using her enlarged limbs and swords, with an abnormal movement she follows through with the big swords and two thick sword flashes are created .

A silver line seems to cut through space .

The two large sword flashes easily sever the thick foot of the injured wyvern .

What amazing power… This power is at a different level than the other day, is it Sarah’s finisher?

I saw the red hair change and become enlarged, but this, is this the reason the clan is called crimson tiger?

The wyvern only has one leg .

However, Lushell’s magic seems to end and the wyvern begins to move-

Even if the wyvern only has one leg it opens its one undamaged wing to keep its balance, and creates a light shock wave around it .

The adventurers on its left are blown back by the wind .

At the same time the wyvern quickly wriggles its neck and bites in the direction of a faltering adventurer .

A soldier with his shield at the front is bitten by the wyvern and his upper body is gone in an instant .

-The sound of flesh being torn .

-A scream from one of his female comrades .

However, the wyvern with its wing spread loses its balance and falls to the ground .

The wyvern’s sudden counterattack ends there .

As expected, it seems hopeless with its one leg and damaged wing .

-A chance .

I aim for the head of such a wyvern .

I envelope my whole body in Fighting Moji, kick the ground strongly and perform a twisting jump .

The wyvern’s head comes into view .

One of its three eyes catches sight of me too late .

My body revolves . Then, using the physical ability of the Rusivault Vampire lineage and all the strength of my fighting moji enhancement, I bring down the black spear .

The moment the black spear collides with its skull, a light shock waves explodes .

The wyvern’s skull collapses .

The feeling of the black spear penetrating its brain is transmitted through the rod to my hand .

The eyes and scales on the wyvern’s head go flying and a scale cuts my cheek causing two stream of blood to flow down my cheek, but I ignore it .

The wound heals immediately .

The fatal blow seems to have sparked a united attack against the dragon and all the adventurers hit the wyvern directly .

The wyvern is already dead though…

Stabbing, slashing, damaging, smashing, burning, burning, it becomes a state of perfect overkill .

The wyvern becomes little more than dragon meat .

However, the four-remaining wyverns all immediately react once it dies .

Ignoring the imperial ants, they all turn their gigantic heads to the adventurers together and open their maws, exposing their crooked teeth .

“Guooooooo!”

A howling roar .

The wyverns seem to be angry .

Eh, from the dragons’ mouths, bubbling green water!?

-Breath attack . Its hue is the shade of dish detergent . It feels dangerous .

The adventurers, including myself, are taken by surprise because the attack has no preparation other than the roar .

I urgently eject <chain> behind me .

I drive the chain into the ground near the obstacle at the back .

-Jump .

I make the chain retract into my left hand and pull my body towards the obstacle, a movement that exceeds a long player jump . I move through the air as if flying .

I fall to hide behind the obstacle .

Rollo also stabs her bone sword into the ground far away and retracts it like the power cord of a vacuum cleaner . (TL: Yes, the author actually wrote this . ) The feeler pulls the panther body through air in a spin .

She kind of looks like a flying squirrel, it is a little cute, but the situation is not appropriate for that .

“Everyone- retreat to the obstacle!”

“Withdraw-back to the obstacle!”

“Obstacle-“

Eris screams, the leaders of each clan yell, every clan member that reacts too late will take the poisonous breath head on .

The power of the poisonous breath is terrible .

Those bathed in it, their faces melt, their bones are exposed, their arms dissolve and their chests turn into gaping holes .

-A scene of shrieking agony is created .

However, there are a lot of dexterous adventurers that did not retreat .

Not to mention the members of crimson tiger, multiple adventurers escape from range of the breath attack at the last-second .

Immediately, an aurora of recovery magic falls over the heads of those suffering from poison burns .

The adventurers can somehow still fight, though it could be said they are in a state of confusion .

However, there is no pursuit from the wyverns .

What’s wrong? When I am wondering, the wyverns are attacked by the imperial ants .

The intense attack of the imperial ants against the wyverns runs into them all at once .

The imperial guard ants, as expected, they really are A+ rank .

The huge imperial ants use their six big legs skillfully, and one by one blow the wyverns away in a different direction . The wyverns are scattered and retreat while scattering venom .

One wyvern remains without being blown off, the number of imperial ants is three .

The remaining wyvern receives the concentrated attack of the three imperial ants .

Its wings are held, the base of its neck bitten, and its legs chewed on . The eighteen hooked claws of the imperial ants cut through the wyvern’s scales, tearing its flesh .

The blown off wyverns return to help their companion, but…the balanced has collapsed and will not be restored .

The imperial ants have the upper hand .

The giant ants are crushing the wyvern while the pink hair around their necks scatters .

The final wyvern is going to fly away, but something like a pink thread is released from their mouths to prevent the dragon from escaping .

One of the imperial ants is entwining the wyvern with pink threads .

The thick ant legs scratch the entwined wyvern .

The wyvern tries to put up a final resistance, but it is entwined even further by the pink thread and can barely move . The wyvern that is entwined by the pink thread is dragged like that .

-A few words of the highlights .

As expected of skilled adventurers, I as well, although we are only watching the fight between the dragons and giant ants .

There a woman’s voice, Eris’ voice sounds-

“Everyone, prepare to fight the giant imperial ants! However, for now, we will retreat to the metastasis formation-“

“Roger . ” “Yes . ” “Un . ” “Ou . ”

Everyone answers and goes into action .

“Eris, we will stay until the end . We will guard the rear . ”

“Yes, we will rely on you, crimson tiger-“

I will stay as well .

“Nnn . ”

Rollo’s purring comes from my shoulder .

Tilting her head to the side as if to say; Are you not returning with the adventurers?

“Hora, Crimson tiger is staying, isn’t it better for us to stay as well . ”

“Nyao . ”

She extends a feeler to my cheeks .

When the paw pads on her feelers touch my cheek, Rollo conveys her feelings .

『Waiting』 『Hunting』 『Fun』 『Playing』

“Haha, it’s fun?”

You compare hunting to play, do you?

I cannot think of a clan with so many elegant women, I gather myself and go to announce myself to the members of crimson tiger .

On the contrary, the three giant imperial ants seem uninterested in the actions of the adventurers including me, and are dragging one of the wyverns into the hole .

Aw, this is disappointing .

The giant imperial ants seem to have finished their business after exterminating the wyvern flock .

“We prepared a little, but they retreated . There’s no signs of dragons either…”

Sarah says while surveying the left and right .

“Yes . The wyverns that flew into the sky have disappeared . ”

Lushell is attaching her large staff to her back while looking up in the sky to confirm it .

“Captain, is the request complete with this?”

Butch’s cat ears that do not suit his muscular body both twitch, and he straps his broadax to his back .

“It seems so . ”

“Good . It seems we don’t have to fight the giant imperial ants . In fact, I have very few adamantine arrows left, so this is good . ”

Belize also returns her long bow to her back, and places the arrows with an orange arrow head into her quiver .

I look too, and put away the black spear .

“Now then, I guess we’ll return . ”

“Un . Let’s go to where Eris is . ”

Sarah starts running in the direction that the adventurers withdrew .

All of Crimson Tiger follows, running slightly behind .

I put Rollo on my shoulder and follow too .

“Eris-san, the imperial ants retreated . The wyverns were defeated and the dragons seem to have disappeared . ”

“Oh really? Well then, shall we return to the guild and bring a cart? We can quickly collect the corpses of the ants and dragons that way . There are this many corpses . It is before the evil dragon king subjugation too, so we can expect the price of the materials . We can expect extra . ”

Eris talks while make a gesture with her index finger and thumb indicating money .

That symbol seems to be universal .

“OOooh . ”

“Fighting was worth it . ”

“…”

“Hurray! It ended surprisingly early . ”

“Ou, we’ll have a party tonight!”

The shouts of the adventurers shows their joy for the request being completed .

Some of them are lamenting the death of a companion, that group does not express their joy…

In this way, the urgent request is completed safely .

The materials of all the corpses are bought and extra gold is given as a reward .

In the reward bag handed by receptionist-san there are ten extra gold coins, totaling Forty-five, so there are four white gold coins and five gold coins inside .

“Well then . ”

I greet receptionist-san briefly and leave, tossing the bag of gold coins into the item box .

I head to the exit to leave the guild .

“-Shuya . ”

“N?”

“Aren’t you being cold? Leaving by yourself so quickly . ”

The source of the voice is Sarah .

The other members of Crimson Tiger’s Tempest approach as well .

“So the captain says . ”

“That’s right . ”

“Shuya, it can’t be stopped if it comes to this…”

“Butch-san…”

Butch-shi looks embarrassed .

“Shuya, quit the ‘san’ already . Butch is fine . ”

“Got it, Butch . I planned to head back…”

Sarah cuts in,

“-Maa, maa, Shuya . Don’t hurry . Aren’t we comrades in arms? After this, we intend to go drink at a bar, how about it?”

Honestly, I would like to drink with beautiful women .

However, the invitation seems noisy so I will pass .

“…I’m thankful for the invitation, but unfortunately I have to decline . Sorry . ”

“Che, then, I wanted to invite you to the clan again…”

“Doesn’t it seem to be captain? But, isn’t Shuya-san unlikely to waver?”

“It can’t be helped . Captain, we have a different way of life . You should give up . ”

Saying so, Belize removes part of the armor on her chest .

She exposes her upper chest more and approaches me with her jiggling melons .

Ku, this is dangerous, more dangerous than the wyvern .

Still, if I am to be eaten by a huge breast monster…[ED:Stfu already . ]

“It’s been a long time since I saw captain’s ears fall down…”

Butch seems to be worried about Sarah and is not paying attention to Belize .

“Belize…it’s no good?”

Sarah’s tone is quiet, but she talks to Belize in a way that suggest she is holding back her anger .

Hou, relief or regret, my feelings are complicated…

I ignore it since a small fight has risen between Sarah and Belize .

I wanted a taste of the sensation of the voluptuous melons, but I will leave it .

I lift one hand and wave it .

“…Then well, everyone . If we meet again on a different request, please be kind to me . See ya-“

I bid farewell and leave the guild quickly .
