“Eh? You know what could do this?”
“Yes, there’s just one thing I can think of . ”
While looking around at the disaster to the surroundings, Kiara opened her mouth and spoke seriously .
“The Rank S adventurer known for friendly fire, Asura . ”
“Friendly fire? Are you sure about that!?”
“I am not . However, I cannot think of any others who could do this . ”
Mia is shocked . They seem to be rather famous . No, that’s to be expected if they are S-Rank adventurers . Anyways, why are they fighting each other? They have a rather dangerous name attached to themselves as well .
“Who? Friendly fire?”
“S-Rank adventurers . You don’t know of them? The Asura of friendly fire . ”
“Nn . Why the strange title?”
Fran tilted her head in confusion, leading Mia and Quina to explain to her .
“It’s an old story, but I heard that when they participated in wars on other continents, they would attack their allies along with their enemies . ”
“The enemy was exterminated, and it seems the allies also suffered enormous damage . ”
“That’s not all . I have a number of similar stories as well . ”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“The reason he still hasn’t been punished is because he’s overwhelmingly strong, and is constantly making more money than he can waste . ”
“There are many rumors mixed in with the facts, so I don’t know how much is true . ”
Even if those stories are only half true, it still paints a bad picture . After all, regardless of whether you’re an ally or an enemy, one has to be careful just being closeby .
“Well, it’s not that he’s a bad person . ”
“Kiara-shishou has met this Asura?”
“Ah, a couple of times . It’s just, though I say he’s not a bad person, he’s the type that loses sight of everything around him when he ramps up . That’s why he is always wandering alone . If we encounter the Asura and I tell you to run away, you absolutely must run . Absolutely . ”
Kiara warns Fran and the others with a scary expression on her face . From what Kiara says so far, this sounds like a seriously dangerous guy .
However, even if we stay cautious, if we don’t understand this person’s ability, we won’t know what to be cautious about .
“What ability does he have?”
“Oh, that’s right . You didn’t know . Since he’s so famous, I just assumed that you knew . ” Mia said, scratching her head .
Is he that famous? Just what is it?
“He’s a Godblade wielder . Asura-dono is known to be the owner of the Earth Sword Gaia . ”
Of all things, he turned out to be the owner of a Godblade! And it is the Earth Sword Gaia, as well… I sort of understand just what caused this disastrous scene to happen now .
Earth magic possesses techniques to manipulate gravity . I have become able to use several of those techniques myself, thanks to raising my level in Earth Magic to master [Great Wall] .
In addition, there’s also a technique to drop rocks . A Godblade that bears the name of the Earth Sword is highly likely to be able to use those abilities . I don’t know if it’s just gravity or being able to use rocks as well, but it’s possible that these abilities could be used to crush a large area all at once .
“I’ve seen him create the exact same scene as this before . Through some unknown means, he created beautiful cubic boulders and used them to crush some bandits once . When I heard the screams of those being crushed, as to be expected, even I felt chills . ”
Apparently my prediction was correct . Still, for a guy able to spread this much destruction in battle, becoming unable to see his surroundings over the heat of battle? That’s already at the level of a disaster .
“The user of the Earth Sword Gaia, friendly fire Asura . Memorized . ”
“I don’t know if he will be up ahead or not . ”
Well, certainly . I don’t know if he is heading to the dungeon . I was thinking about things like that, but—— .
10 minutes later .
“He’s definitely heading North, isn’t he?”
“Nn . ”
After continuing onwards for some time, we came across exactly the same scene as before . The only difference, if any, is the difference in the strength of the magical beasts . This time, there were no small fry included in the dead monsters . Only mid-level and high-level monsters had been crushed and died . it
No, there was one other difference . This time, some kind of giant rock wall had been created around the flattened area . The wall was 15 meters tall and 5 meters thick, but when we looked closer, we found that instead of being one solid rock, it was made of two rocks that were stuck together . Furthermore, there was a dark red liquid flowing out from between the two rocks .
It seems that between the two rocks, there was a magical beast that had become trapped there and died . Probably, like being stuck between a pair of shears, it was sandwiched between the two rock walls . There were also eight rock objects standing by quietly, sandwiching the dead monster .
“… . This is definitely him . I have seen the Asura fire off this same attack before . ”
It seems there’s no mistake that these monsters were exterminated by the Asura . Does that mean the Asura and the Dungeon are fighting each other? If this many monsters had appeared in this place, then they’d definitely be related to that Dungeon .
“Could the reason Murellia was called back be this?”
“I see, there is that possibility . Ojou-sama, how unusually clear sighted . ”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You didn’t need to add ‘unusually’! More importantly, we need to hurry to the Dungeon . If we are fast enough, we might be able to expect Asura-dono’s assistance . ”
Are we going to get the Friendly Fire’s help? If possible, I don’t really want to get involved with that person… But if he doesn’t have blood rushing to his head, he isn’t likely to attack without warning .
“However, from the rumors I heard about Asura, I don’t believe he will just quietly agree to help . ”
“We just need to hire him! In the case of emergencies, we have no choice but to do whatever is necessary, even seduction . ”
“… . Seduction?”
“Wha-, what’s with those looks!? The Asura might be a pervert that likes flat chested girls!”
“I suppose so . ”
“Don’t look at me like that!”
It seems Asura is known to be free spirited, and won’t obey others if he doesn’t like them, regardless of whoever that person might be . In fact, he’s even picked fights with entire countries . On the other hand, if he likes you, he will accept even dangerous requests easily . The only thing is, he seems to charge a very expensive commision . And in advance .
“I cannot pay the request fee, you know . ”
“Take out that money you’re hiding away . I know that you’re storing it with your maid . ”
“This is saved in case of an emergency you know? I can’t use it in a place like this . ”
“This is an emergency, fool!”
The longer I listen, the more uneasy I feel .
“At any rate, let us hurry to the dungeon . ”
“Right . ”
