TDADP chapter 215: Scorching sword

「Buooooooooo......!!」

「Wooooooon!」

「Vooooooo!!」

Hundreds of various monsters such as Big Boo, Step Wolf and Udon´s Grizzly Bear run through the field without any purpose.

「Hurry Hurry! If we do a little more work, it’s the place of the strategy! If we lure these guys up there, haahaa, this is the way to go!」

「I know, so don’t talk in vain!」

「Damn it! I shouldn’t have taken on the role of a decoy!」

Suddenly, the wood dragon that appeared in Wood Payne confused the monsters that lived in the surrounding forests and mountains and made them run away in all directions. Furthermore, there were several groups of monsters that increased in number while mixing in with the monsters that had escaped and there were adventurers who struggled to protect the villages on the progression route from one of the groups.

「I can see the narrow path!」

「Push in as it is and run up the cliff at once!」

「I understand!!」

Three adventurers were straddling a horse to rush into the narrow path. And run up the cliff as it is. At the same time as climbing, the overworked horses laid down collapsed.

「You did well. I’ll fill your stomach with food later!」

「Siam! As you said, we pulled the flock of monsters all the way up, so if you say that it was impossible, I will blow you away!」

A female adventurer who is one of the adventurers who played a decoy will crush Siam if he fails to do his job.

「You! How do you speak with Siam-sama!」

「Adventurer style!」

「Hann! Are you satisfied that our leader is the same adventurer as you guys or do you guys call him an aristocrat?」

Siam’s followers, Dog and Samoha, confront the female adventurer who took a rude attitude towards their leader Siam.

「Stop it! You know each other that we’re not in a bad ransom now」

Dog and Samoha and the female adventurer don’t answer back to Siam and make a glance in the wrong direction with a snort.

「That’s right. Siam-san. I’ve confirmed that all the monsters have entered. And the exit of the narrow path is covered with 『Earth Wall』 on top of an 『Stone Wall』, so it’s a little soft. They shouldn’t be able to break through」

「Good. Let’s get started」

The adventurers rush to the designated place with Siam giving the command.

「Why did we come here?」

「Because all the other roads are blocked. If the head of the monsters swoop in to this place, the monsters that come from behind will push in one after another」

「It seems great. It might be the strategy that Siam thought about」

「You guys are talking too much. They´re here!」

The flocks of monsters running around the narrow path were not aware that they were being guided to a certain place. It was a little open and surrounded by cliffs. Naturally, it is on the cliff that Siam´s group had taken positions.

「Bumoo!?」

「Vuoonn!」

「Gyatsu!?」

The head of the monsters flock swoops against the wall made by Siam´s group and stops moving, but they cant return to the path where they came from as monsters rush from behind. With over a thousand monsters, the plaza is packed quickly.

「Close the entrance!」

Those who can use black magic and spirit magic will release 『Earth Wall』, 『Stone Wall』, 『Grand Wall』 and 『Cobble Wall』 all at once. At that time, some monsters are trapped in the earth and stone walls where they are generated. The only entrance to the square is blocked by a huge wall. Then, the group of monsters started rampaging in search of an exit, but they couldn’t rampage satisfyingly when they couldn’t move.

「Now is our chance! Let’s release all arrows and attack magics!」

「Yes!」

「I’ve been waiting!」

「Eat this, you shitty monsters!」

Arrows and magic spells pour into the group of monsters like hail. The arrows penetrate the skin and the flesh because they can’t move. Due to fire magic, it became a one-sided development, such as a whole-body fireman and another monster is skewered with an ice trap. Some monsters ran over the cliffs by stepping over the monster’s corpse, but they are pushed down to the square again by shield and vanguard adventurers who were waiting for them.

「Yoshi, Yoshi! Can’t we just keep going?」

「Yes, we’re not going to do much damage here. It looks like we can manage a flock of over a thousand monsters with just a few hundred people」

At the time when everyone thought the victory or defeat was decided――

「Careful! An iron boar is climbing up!」

An adventurer calls attention. This is because the figure of an iron boar climbing over the cliff was seen after stepping over a monster’s corpse.

「I’m not going to let it climb up!」

A female adventurer slashes with a short sword.

「Idiot! You can’t slash an iron boar so easily!」

As its name suggests. The iron boar is as hard as iron and cannot be hurt by a semi-strength attack. In fact, where the female adventurer slashed, instead of being scratched, the short sword was repelled and conversely the posture of the female adventurer was lost.

「Kyaa!」

In front of the female adventurer who fell on her buttocks, an Iron boar exceeding 2 meters in length raised its forefoot just when the female adventurer wanted to stand up tremblingly.

「Dangerous!」

「No, I’ll make it in time!」

A red sword flash swept away the belly of the iron boar which was about to trample down on the female adventurer’s head with its forefeet while the companions are shouting. Then, the movement of the iron boar stops as if time has stopped and then next, the organs overflow from the red line of the abdomen with blood splashing out. The iron boar fell down on the spot without letting out a whisper. The weak point of an iron boar is the abdomen with thin body hair, but it is still covered with the body hair boasting the hardness of iron. It is extremely difficult to sever the iron-like hair with a sword with a half-arm strength and damaging even the thick fat and the muscles and even the pancreas.

「Are you injured?」

Siam says so and shakes off the silvery-white sword that raises red smoke. The silver sword was transformed into a red sword by Siam’s skill 『Magic Sword』, and the high-heated sword evaporated the remaining blood of the iron boar. It was a wonderful magic power control. Rather than unnecessarily wrapping the flames into a blade, holding up the flames in the blade raises the firepower of 『Magic Sword』 and brings the power of easily tearing the body of the iron boar boasting with its iron defense.

「Ye, Yes. Thank you, I thank you. As one would expect from the C rank adventurer nicknamed 『Scorching Sword』」

Taking the hand held out by Siam, the female adventurer stands up.

「Okay. If you know that you’re good at this level of skill, you’ll be laughed at」

The female adventurer looks at Siam´s face who is laughing at himself. Adventurers who defeated the rough monsters moved on to strip the magic balls and materials from the dead monsters.

「What do we do about the escaped monsters?」

「That number won’t have that much effect. We don’t have to follow them」

「That’s right. I thought that this quest was extraordinary, but if you get all the monster material, it’s not going to be so bad」

「Cheehee. Did you say that noble adventurer, Siam? At first, I thought it was a bastard who would lend power to protect the poor villages or overcame the foolishness, but why is it a big guy in the middle? We don’t get a big reward from the guild, but as you say, if we have enough of this material, we won’t have any trouble」

Aside from the adventurers who faced the unexpected harvest, Siam who was heading to the adventurers watched the surroundings on the cliff.

「Siam-sama, you’re amazing!」

「The command power that gathered nearly 100 adventurers. The sword skill to slaughter an iron boar, one of the most defensive rank 4 monsters with a single sword strike. This is not possible for most people!」

Siam’s followers, Samoha and Dog, were excited about their leader´s success, but Siam was calm.

「Now is not the time to flatter. There are multiple monsters that have been defeated, but it’s also only a small group of a large amount. For the lookouts, it’s amusing. Samoha, Dog, hurry up」

「「Yes!!」」

Samoha and Dog follow, proudly staring at the back of their reliable leader who has grown in both body and mind.

On the cliff, the expression was steep, contrary to the adventurers who were skinning the monsters underneath.

「What’s wrong? Was there anything unusual?」

「Oh, Siam-san? Look at that」

Saying a light greeting to the man who is on the lookout, Siam turns his gaze in the direction the man said.

「Wa, What is that!? No way...... that’s all a bunch of monsters!」

Huge earth-colored clouds were formed on the far horizon. The true nature of the clouds was soil and smoke generated by a group of monsters, and so much that the monsters could not be seen. Among them, the only thing that could be clearly confirmed visually was the appearance of the wood dragon.

「Well, I wonder if it’s unfortunate that that herd is heading over here」

「What are you saying! There are many villages beyond us, and they are only those villages that are poor and cannot hire adventurers!」

Adventurers who were wary of Siam’s sword curtains were also surprised. This is because the aristocrats and Siam that they knew were too far apart.

「Wait. Siam-san, where are you going?」

「It’s decided. It’s a little difficult, but I can’t overlook it」

Even Samoha and Dog, who followed Siam’s words, did not hide their upset. The scale is too different from the herd of the monsters they just killed. In addition, there is even the wood dragon that couldn’t be killed with 30,000 elite soldiers of Udon Kingdom.

「Samoha, Dog, we’ll head out right away!」

「Please wait, Siam-sama!」

「Ye, Yes! The opponent is too strong!」

「You are not qualified to call yourself an aristocrat if you abandon your people just because the opponent is strong」

Although his language was calm, Siam’s words were filled with strong conviction. No one longer thought they could stop him.

「Wait」

It was the female adventurer who was rescued by Siam against the iron boar that stopped him.

「You can’t go」

「I have to go」

「We’ve earned enough time. The villages where the monsters are heading should all be evacuated by now」

「Hee? Am I supposed to overlook it because of such an ambiguous idea――」

「Don’t be careless! Do you think we’re okay? In this, there’s a village where the flock of monsters is heading!」

Siam is taken by the spirit of a female adventurer.

「Ah....... I´m sorry, because I got excited, but I can’t let you die in vain. And if you go, there are other people who follow you, not to mention your followers」

When Siam looked at those around him, it was said that if he were to go, they would follow him. It’s not just his life. Siam also found that the lives of others stretched to both shoulders. It’s too heavy. It was not an easy thing to throw away.

「......A little bit...... I thought I grew up」

「「Siam-sama......」」

As he looked up at the sky, Siam lamented his powerlessness.

---------------------------------

There were villagers looking at their village from the top of the hill with sad faces.

「I wonder if all that smoke are monsters......」

「I’m glad the evacuation was in time」

「What are you glad about!? Our village, the field, damn it! Damn it!!」

Although the evacuation was in time, the village would be given up. Rebuilding a village where a group of monsters stepped on would not be possible in poor rural areas. The villagers can only silently see how the village where they were born and raised being destroyed by monsters. Even if they know it, they cannot suppress their anger. The anger of the man was the same for everyone in the village.

「So, Sorry! Did you see my child?」

A woman was in a hurry and asked the surroundings to see if they saw her child.

「He should have been here a while ago」

「He is not here! Ah, no way...... that child, my goodness」

----------------------

「Grandma! Let’s run away! Mommy and Dad, are running away on the hill, aren’t they?」

「Leave me here, and you run away quickly」

The boy tried to pull the old woman who sat down in front of a rural field, but the old woman did not hear as if she had realized her destiny.

「Don’t say that, if you don’t do it quickly, monsters will come!」

「I was born in this village and grew up here until this age. Haa...... I grew up with your grandfather here who died in this field. It’s not very sure, but I can’t do it anymore, and my legs aren’t moving anymore. If a herd of demons is coming here, it’s my destiny to die with my husband’s field」

「No, no! I will run away with you grandma!」

The boy tries to take the old woman on his back, but then the ground shakes, and he falls.

「Waa, Waa. Ea, Earthquake!?」

The sound of the earth gradually increases.

「Ah......」

The old woman is not the cause of the earthquake. She understands that it was caused by the herd of monsters approaching the village. She would be glad to die if she was alone, but it’s too ridiculous for her young grandson to die with her. The old woman prayed to God. Only her grandchild should be protected.

「What are you doing here?」

The old woman thanked God that he had received her wish. There was a black-haired boy――Yuu.

「A, Ah...... God, thank you! Thank you, adventurer, there is a request. Can you take this child away from me?」

「Grandma! I don’t like it! I need to go with you grandma!」

「I can’t move anymore you should abandon me and run away」

「What are you doing! You don’t want to say anything selfish!」

The boy ran into Yuu, but Yuu asks again without looking away from the boy.

「Do you like your grandmother?」

「Of course!!」

「Hmm」

When Yuu hears the boy’s response, he responds gently and leaves the place. The boy who was angry was standing as if the anger had disappeared for some reason.

「Adventurer, please wait! Leaving this child alone! Oh, it’s not too late now. Hurry up and be with that adventurer quickly」

Despite the old woman begging with tears, the boy looked at Yuu’s back, leaving with a strange face.

「Grandma」

「What are you doing? Hurry up――」

「That older brother was laughing」
