Strongest Swordman’s Re:START

e group, who were battling in a sly uncharacteristic manner for a Magic Beast.

“Elea, go help Jonahim.
I’ll hold the Velche group back.”
“Luka… Thank you!”

Elea hesitated for a split second when he heard Luka say that, but she couldn’t just abandon Jonahim like that.

She raced to Jonahim’s side, thanking Luka as she did so.

“Awooooo!”

One of the Velche suddenly pounced at her from behind.

“Fire Spear!”
“Woof?”

Luka hurled a flaming spear at the easy target, penetrating its body.
The Velche, which had been penetrated by the spear, burst into flames and died.

“You’re not getting past me.”

As the Velche group saw Elea joining Jonahim’s side they also tried to rush in to help the Ghezo Velche.

Luka, on the other hand, firmly pointed her wand, restraining them.
The Velche couldn’t approach her without caution after witnessing the power of her spell.
After all, the Ghezo Velche had ordered them to stall for time.

They wouldn’t be able to execute their order if they charged recklessly towards Luka and died.
And it was most likely such thoughts that compelled the Velche group to behave in such a rigorous manner.

“Jonahim, I’ll help!”
“But Luka… No, she’ll be fine.
Thank you.
I wouldn’t have lasted any longer by myself.”

Elea and Jonahim began to push down the Ghezo Velche once they met up.

“Grrr!”

The Ghezo Velche opened its mouth wide and shot out a fireball.
Jonahim quickly dispersed it with his sword, while Elea emerged behind him and plunged her spear.
The Ghezo Velche, on the other hand, deftly avoided it.

It quickly devolved into a series of back-and-forth exchanges.

The Ghezo Velche suddenly leaped back, creating some distance from the two of them, and spread its flame wings wide.
Countless flame feathers formed from its wings and shot like arrows towards Jonahim and Elea.

It was like Luka had cast Fire Arrow.

“Tsk! There’s too many.”

Jonahim couldn’t handle the feathers, which counted in the hundreds, even with his exceptional swordsmanship.

“Water Wall!”

Jonahim flung his sword to the ground and stretched his arms forward, causing a wall of water to emerge in front of him.
The fire feathers collided with the wall and evaporated before they could reach Jonahim and Elea.

They’d managed to get through it somehow.

“… Hmm.
Water magic, huh.”

The usage of a spell that didn’t correspond to the party’s name caught Merc off guard2.

Even if the compatibility was perfect, Merc was surprised that a castless spell could block the Ghezo Velche’s feathers.
Merc assessed that Jonahim’s best element was probably water based on the speed and accuracy with which he cast it.

It appeared unfitting for Blazing Impact’s leader in Merc’s opinion.

Maybe that’s why Jonahim was chosen as the party’s leader, or why the name was chosen in the first place.
A trap to fool their enemies3.

“At any rate, they’re having a harder time than I thought they would.
It’s shocking to assume that the Velche would employ such refined tactics.”

The Velche group was unable to move as it desired due to Luka’s impediment; however, if they were able to defeat Luka and join with the Ghezo Velche, the scales would undoubtedly shift.
It all hinged on Jonahim and Elea’s ability to defeat the Ghezo Velche before that occurred.

… In any case, it’s all the same to me.

Even though there was no one else nearby, Merc couldn’t say those things out loud.
