197話 銀麗にして氷獄
俺ァ、生まれつき体格にめぐまれていた。その甲斐あってか、今もこうして馬上にいる中で誰よりもデカく、視界がひれぇんだろうな。
だから、味方の後方と前方が慌ただしい動きをしてんのが見えちまって、少し気がかりだ。
の中に、『鉄血』と『風の狩人』がいるみたいです!」
後詰の主力兵が奇襲を受けたと知り、立て続けにそんな報告が入ってきたのは敵の槍部隊と衝突し始めた最中だった。
としちゃぁ貧乏くじを引いちまったな。だがまぁ、久々に歯ごたえのある奴らとやり合えるのは、上等じゃねえか」
どちらも良く知った名だ。
『黄昏時の酒喰らい』としちゃぁ、『サディ☆スティック』と『首狩る酔狂共』とも仲良くしていたが、今回は別だ。イベント戦とならば、双方に遺恨は残らねえだろ。
この際だから、酒は酔いしれるもんじゃねぇ、喰らうもんだと教えてやるか。
「こちらの後方部隊は『鉄血』の奮戦で押され気味のようです。数では勝っているはずなのに......どうやら尻を抑えて怯えている
「先頭の騎馬隊も思うように機能していません。敵の槍部隊との相性も悪く、何より『風の狩人』の獅子奮迅にみな及び腰になっているとか」
仲間の報告は苛立つモノばかりだったが、焦っちゃいない。
「戦場に噂はつきものだとぁ......良く言ったものだなぁ......」
噂や名声なんてのは、せいぜいが俺達を楽しませるだけの酒のつまみにしかならねぇ。最初は俺もそう馬鹿にしていたが、情報は馬鹿にできない重要性を帯びている。かくゆう俺らも、騎馬隊を手に入れるために占領下においた村々から馬を飼育している場所はどこか聞き出し、そこをピンポイントで襲って回り、こうして騎馬隊を編成しうるだけの戦力を得た。
「噂ごと喰らい尽くせ。じゃねえと、孤独をこじらせた
ここで負けるわけにはいかねぇんだよなぁ。
「NPC民兵の数は同等以上だろーが! 兵種も質もこっちが上回ってるはずだぜ!
「「「おう!」」」
「ベンテンスさん、俺らもいきます!」
「副団長の突進について行くぞ!」
』たちの返事を聞き、まだまだ戦いはこれからだと内心で笑む。
間近に迫りくる敵民兵の槍を手持ちの剣で払い、馬の瞬発力で横をすり抜ける。すれ違いざまに剣を一閃し、一撃必殺。
「歯ごたえがねぇな! もっとつえー奴はいねえのか!」
俺ら騎馬隊の勢いは敵の先鋒である槍部隊には止められねぇ。
残念な事に、まだ『風の狩人』とは対峙できてねえが、このまま敵の本丸を叩かせてもらうぜ。
「「「サァーイェッサー!」」」
おう? なかなかに士気の高そうな奴らと相対しそうじゃねえか。潰し甲斐があるなぁ。
どれ、喰らってやるか。
手持ちの斧をそいつ目掛けてぶん投げる。
何度となく行使してきたスキルは、俺の思い描いた通り、手斧をブーメランのように飛ばしてくれる。
まずは様子見だな。
どちらにせよ、体勢を崩したところで馬の速度を利用して一気に攻め込むから、どんな方法で俺の本チャン攻撃に対応してくるか楽しみだぜぇ。
「ぐはぁっ」
おいおい、まじかよ。狙った獲物は他のNPC民兵との交戦に気を取られていたのか、もろに手斧が顔面に直撃してるじゃねぇか。
しかも、かなり体勢を仰け反らせている事からクリティカルとして命中したっぽいな。
拍子抜けだ。
こりゃ勢いだけで、PvPの方はてんでダメな奴らか。
衝撃で驚きの表情になってるところ悪いが、とっくに斧は手元へ戻ってるんでな。しっかりと握って、すれ違いざまに頭を更に上からカチ割っておく。
他の敵もどっこいどっこいで、うちの奴らに完敗してるじゃねぇか。
『首狩る酔狂共』は......ちぃ、見当たらねえな。なんか他に変わり種はいねぇのかよ。
なんだ、左の方が騒がしいな。
「あの子......知ってるぞ......」
「天使ちゃんだ」
』が敵を攻撃するのも忘れ、どこかを見つめ呆けていやがった。何事かと思い、馬を寄せて怒鳴る。
「おい! 何やってんだおめぇら!」
「あぁ、ベンテンスさん。出ましたよ、天使ちゃ、強力な
そういって奴が指差す方へと目を向けると、『鉄血』と『狩人』が目をかけていた嬢ちゃんがいるじゃねぇか。
思わずそんな声が出ちまった。
それも仕方ねえだろ。
銀が流れ、青が揺らめき、白が爆発的に広がってるんだからなぁ。
銀髪のちびっ娘が素早い身のこなしで攻撃を避けながら、両腕を奇妙に動かす。指で何かしてんのか? その動きに伴って、まるでちびっ娘の守護者でも気取ってんのか、蒼穹のドレスを纏った真っ白な少女が味方兵を拳で粉砕してるだと?
平然と淡々と、動きに迷いがねぇな。まるで機械みてぇに、表情まで空白な奴だ。
お、どっからあんな氷みてぇな双剣を出した? 瞬時に双剣を生成したかと思えば、一種の竜巻じみた動きで多くの民兵を巻き込むように切り裂いていきやがる。
おう? 氷刃は消失させた? 魔法の剣なのか? ッて待て待て、周囲に白氷の花々を大量に咲かせていくじゃねえか......呑みこまれた奴は......動けねぇだと!? 綺麗さに目を奪われ兼ねねぇが、ありゃぁまるで兵達の自由を奪う牢獄だな。
あのままじゃ、あぁ畜生!
あそこの部隊は全滅じゃねぇか。
氷つぶてみてえのが、全弾頭部に命中してあえなく撃沈していくザマを見て......俺は心からの笑みを浮かべる。
「おもしろそうじゃねぇか」
鮮烈
、『風の狩人』。
あの二人ならまだわかる。
だが、あのガキンチョはいったい何だ?
妖精の舞踏会でも奇妙な事をやって、役に立っちゃいたが......あくまでサポート役に過ぎなかった。結果的には灰塵王の出した課題をクリアするまでに至ったらしいが、要は『
ありゃぁ、本物だったか。
「天使ちゃんは、氷を生む......
何人かは天使だと言っていたが、ありゃそんな生易しいもんじゃねぇ。
戦場に天使だと? 鬼か悪魔の間違いだろうに。
「おい、どこが天使だ。ありゃあ、人の肉と魂を喰らう鬼だろうが。銀麗にして氷獄ってとこだろ」
「鬼......確かに」
「氷で、兵士を飲み込んでいく......」
「......『戦場の銀氷鬼』」
誰が言ったかわからねぇが、しっくりくるじゃねぇか。
』がもたらす被害が瞬く間に広がっていく、か。
「あの強さは尋常じゃねえな。あいつは俺がもらうぜ」
「あ? 落ち着け」
俺が銀氷鬼へと向かうのを邪魔してえか。
神官服のガキがよ。
「天士さまの邪魔はさせません!」
飛んでくる炎弾は三つ。
タイミングも軌道も真っ正直で、フェイクのフェの字もねぇ、ぬりぃ攻撃だな。が、魔防を高めてもこのダメージをくらうたぁ、なかなかの魔力の高さだ。
「ま、おめぇらの動きはとっくに把握済みだがよ」
派手な魔法攻撃が幾人もの味方の民兵を襲ってるのは、さっきから気付いてたぜぇ。神官服のちっちぇえ奴が、めんどくせえな。そいつよりもめんどいのは、神官服の動きをうまくサポートしてやがる、鋭く狙い澄まされた矢だ。こっちの『
と、あの金髪女は......男を騙して宝をくすねる『賊魔リリィ』じゃねえか。
どれ、準備運動には丁度いいかもな。
「お前らは先に、あの銀氷鬼とやり合ってろ。俺はあいつらから片づける」
さっきの奴らより、ちっとは歯ごたえがありそうか?
詠唱が終わりきる前に馬を走らせ、突進だ。もちろん弓持ちのリリィが黙ってねえんだろうな、左の親指を弾いておくか。
リリィが放った矢は俺の頭をかすめて通過してゆく。
「こんなもんかよ」
再び矢をつがえてスキルを発動しようとしているリリィに向かって、親指を続けて弾く。
なんてことはねぇ。ただの投擲スキル、初歩中の初歩でこのザマかよ。
このゲームってのは存外にリアルでな。少しの刺激でも慣れてねえと気が散る。飛ばすなら石コロの方がダメージも入るし、照準もぶれるんだろうが、その分投擲スキルのLvを上げる必要がある。じゃあ何を使うかって?
決まってる、コインだ。そう
「相手になんねぇんじゃねえか? 早く鉄血か狩人と対面してぇもんだな」
てんでダメだな、こいつらも対人戦に慣れてすらいねぇ。大方リリィは不意をつく対人戦は得意でも、真っ向勝負じゃこの程度か。
「ひ、卑怯ですわよ!」
惰弱なメスが何か吠えてんな。そこは軽く無視して神官服のガキを横薙ぎに手斧で振り払う。
おおーう、勢い良く吹き飛ぶなぁ。
やっぱり神官服のチビは魔法戦だけが取り柄の論外な奴か。
「くっ、ミナヅキさん!? 大丈夫かしら!?」
おうおう、他人の心配してる場合じゃねーだろ。俺の味方の突進で、紙きれみてーにペラッとリリィも飛ばされてるじゃねぇか。
これって俺はもういらねぇというか、さっさと銀氷鬼を片づけに行った方がいいんじゃねぇか?
だがなぁ、乗りかかった船だし。トドメをサクッと刺しておくか。
転がる神官服の少女に追い打ちって事で、馬を再び突進させる。
「うっ、やめっ、きゃっ」
そのまま何度か踏みつけさせる。あとはほれ、土にまみれて横たわった隙に、俺の手斧でズガンと一発......。
「おい、待てよ」
透明だが怒気のこもった声が響き、横合いから急に斧が弾かれる。
ってぇな。右手が軽く痺れたろうが。
苛立ちと共に見れば、氷つぶてが手に突き刺さってるじゃねえか。
「ミナ......下がるんだ」
っつうかよー、ちっちぇのに狩人のシンに雰囲気が似てんな。激怒してっと目がすわってるとことか、ほんと鳥肌もんだわなぁ。あぁ、おもしれぇ。
「戦い方が汚いな。泥臭いぞ、ベンテンス」
ほう、この銀髪っ娘。俺の名前を覚えていやがったか。
妖精の舞踏会で、たった一度きりしか会ってねぇのにな。
「ブルーホワイトたん、掃除の時間だ。氷の
「かしこまりましタ。私と主様の純白ヲ、咲かせマス」
なんだこいつら、主従の関係なのか?
なんだか知らねえェが二人まとめて、かかってこいよ。
「おうおう。そっちから来てくれるたぁ気が利くじゃねぇか」
少しは楽しめそうだ。
しかし泥臭いか。こいつは綺麗ちゃんに収まり過ぎて、戦いの本質ってもんをわかってねぇんじゃねぇか? どんな手段を使っても勝ちゃぁ酒もうめえし、それでいいんだよ馬鹿が。
199 197 Stories Silver Lee And Ice Hell
Me, I was born confused by my physique. For what it's worth, I'm still bigger and more visionary than anyone on the horse like this.
So I see the rear and front of my allies making hasty moves, which is a little distracting.
"Mr. Bentens! Looks like some enemy mercenaries (players) have Iron Blood and Wind Hunters!
I was in the middle of starting to collide with enemy spear units when I learned that the main soldiers in the hindsight had been ambushed and that such reports came in as I continued to stand.
"Ooh? This time, you pulled the poor lottery for the sake dish. But, well, it won't be long before we can get along with the toothpickers."
They're both well-known names.
Mercenary Regiment (Clan): "Drinking at dusk". He also made friends with "Sadie Stick" and "Neck Hunting Madness," except this time. If it's an event fight, there won't be any remorse on either side.
At this point, I'm gonna tell you that booze is not intoxicating, you eat it.
"This rear unit seems to be pushed and in the mood by the 'Iron Blood' struggle. You're supposed to be winning in numbers... but apparently there are some mercenaries (players) who are frightened by keeping their asses down..."
"The leading horseback riding squad hasn't worked as well as I think. You think it's not compatible with enemy spear troops, and most importantly, the lion of" The Hunter of the Wind "is fast all over his back?"
My buddy's reports were just frustrating stuff, but I'm not in a hurry.
"Rumors are strong on the battlefield... well said..."
Rumors and fame are nothing but a knob of booze to entertain us at best. At first I made a fool of myself, too, but the information carries importance that I can't make a fool of myself. We also asked where we were raising horses from the villages we had left under occupation to get the horseback squadron, and we went around pinpointing it and gained enough strength to form a horseback squad like this.
"Eat up every rumor. So long, you'll laugh at all the lonely wolves!
You can't lose here, can you?
"The number of NPC militias is more than equal - though! There's gotta be a lot of soldiers and a lot of quality out here! Smash him!
"" "Whoa!
"Mr. Bentens, we're coming too!
"We're going to follow the deputy commander's advance!
Hearing the responses of the prestigious' Platoon Leaders (Commands) ', I laugh inside that the battle is still to come.
Pay the approaching enemy militia spears with a sword in your hand and slip through the side with the horse's instantaneous power. Blink your sword and take a hit.
"You don't have teeth! There's no one else!
The momentum of our horseback cavalry cannot be stopped by the Spear Squad, the vanguard of the enemy.
Unfortunately, you can still confront the Wind Hunter, but let me slap the enemy's main circle like this.
"" "Saar Yesser!
Huh? Sounds like a lot of morale to me. It's worth crushing.
Which, I'll eat you.
Throw the axe in his hand.
Skills I've exercised more than once fly my hand axe like a boomerang, as I imagined.
Let's see how it goes first.
Either way, I can't wait to see how you respond to my book Chang attack, as I'll use the horse's speed to attack you at once where you're disfigured.
"Guh."
Oh, come on, seriously. Was the prey targeted distracted by engaging other NPC militias or, of course, the axe hitting him directly in the face?
Besides, you seem to have hit me as critical because you're making me look pretty upside down.
It's a clap.
Is this just momentum, and the PvP guys are so bad?
I'm sorry about the shock, but the axe is back on hand. Hold it tight and keep your head cracked even further from the top.
The other enemies are sneaky, and they're defeated by our guys, aren't they?
"The Neck Hunters" is... Chi, I don't see it. Are there any other strange species?
Oh, my God, that's noisier on the left.
"That kid... I know him..."
"It's Angel."
Some 'platoon leaders (commands)' also forgot to attack their enemies, staring at them somewhere. I wonder what it is, I lean over my horse and yell.
"Hey! What are you doing? Ooh!
"Oh, Mr. Bentens. Here we go, angel, a powerful mercenary."
When he looks at those he points at, there's a lady with "Iron Blood" and "Hunter" on her eyes.
Such a voice came out by accident.
You don't have a choice.
Silver is flowing, blue is swinging, and white is spreading explosively.
A silver-haired little girl moves her arms oddly while avoiding an attack with a quick body appearance. Are you doing something with your fingers? With that move, it's like even the guardian of a little girl is conceited, that a white girl in an ethereal dress is fisting an ally soldier?
Flat and pale, you're not lost in the movement. It's like a machine, he's blank to the look on his face.
Oh, did you put out those icy twin swords? I thought I'd instantly generated a double sword, and I'd slit it to involve many militiamen in a kind of tornado movement.
Did you make the ice blade disappear? Is that a magic sword? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Beauty blinds me, but if there is, it's like a prison that deprives soldiers of their freedom.
Just like that, oh, shit!
Isn't that the whole troop over there?
Try ice crushing, but look at Zama hitting all the warheads and sinking away... I have a heartfelt grin.
"Isn't that funny?"
Intense and harsh, "Iron Blood."
Be brave and brutal, "Hunter of the Wind."
Those two can still tell.
But what the hell is that kid?
I did some weird things at the Fairy Ball and it helped... but it was only a support role. The result seems to have reached the point of completing the challenge put forth by the Dust King, but the point is, thanks to "Iron Blood (George)" and "Hunter (Singh)" I wondered where he would take the delicious...
Oh, was it real?
"Angels give birth to ice... the silver princess of Lee"
Some of them said they were angels, but that's not such a lifetime.
You think you're an angel on the battlefield? It must be a ghost or a devil's mistake.
"Hey, where's the angel? That would be a ghost eating a man's flesh and soul. Make it silver. It's called an ice prison."
"Ghosts...... sure"
"With ice, we swallow soldiers..."
"..." Silver Ice Ghost on the Battlefield ""
I don't know who said it, but it'll stick.
The damage caused by "Silver Ice Ghost on the Battlefield" is spreading in an instant.
"That strength is unusual. I'll take him."
"Ah? Easy."
Am I interrupting my journey to the Silver Ice Ghost?
There's a kid in clergy clothes.
"I won't let you get in my way, Heavenly Lord!
There are three flame bullets that fly. Expanded (...) Grant yourself the 'Antidemonic Junction', identify the orbits and knock them off sequentially with a one-handed axe.
The timing, the track, it's honest, no faux fe lettering. Hey, that's a colorless attack. but even increasing Demon Defense did this damage. Ah, that's quite a bit of magic power.
"I know what you're doing, but I know what you're doing."
I've just realized that a fancy magic attack is attacking several allied militias. The clergyman in his clothes, he's a pain in the ass. What's worse than that is a sharply targeted arrow that supports the movement of clergy clothes well. You shot the platoon leader over here precisely to disrupt the militia's command.
And that blonde... isn't 'Lily the Thief Demon' who tricks men into shaking the treasure.
Which might be just right for a prep exercise.
"You guys hang out with that silver ice ghost first. I'll get rid of them."
Looks a little more teethy than those guys just now?
Run the horse before the chant is over and run. Of course Lily with the bow won't shut up, do you want me to play my left thumb?
The arrow that Lily unleashes fakes my head and passes.
"It's like this."
Continue playing with your thumb toward Lily, who is trying to activate her skills by holding the arrow again.
Oh, my God. It's just a throwing skill. It's the first step in the beginning.
This game is totally real. Get used to even a little irritation. Uh, distractions. If you're going to fly, Stone Colo will do more damage, and you're going to get better aim, but you need to raise the LV of your throwing skills for that matter. So what do you want to use?
It's decided, it's a coin. Yes, it's gold, Eso.
"What are you dealing with? Come on, Iron Blood or face to face with the Hunter."
So no, these guys aren't even used to interpersonal fights. Daita Lily is good at surprise fights, but to this extent in head-on fights.
"Him, you're cowardly!
There's something barking about an inert female. There, I gently ignore it and shake the kid in clergy clothes off with a hand axe on the horizontal giraffe.
Ooh, let's blow up the momentum.
After all, the little priestly clothes guy is the only one out of the question for magic fights.
"Ku, Mr. Minazuki!? Are you all right?
Oh, not if you're worried about someone else. You're flying Pella Lily on my side of the road.
I don't need this anymore, or shouldn't we just go clean up the silver ice ghost?
But, hey, it's the boat we boarded. Do you want a crisp stab at the todome?
It means chasing the girl in the rolling clergy clothes, which pushes the horse forward again.
"Ugh, stop, come on"
Let him step on it a few times as he is. And then you see, in a gap lying all over the dirt, with my hand axe, Zugan and a shot...
"Hey, wait."
A transparent but angry voice sounds and an axe is suddenly played from across.
My right hand would have been lightly paralyzed.
If you look at it with frustration, the ice crush is sticking in your hand.
"Mina... stay back"
The atmosphere is similar to that of a hunter's sin. You mean he's furious and his eyes are tight all the time, he really has goosebumps. Oh, that's funny.
"That's a dirty way to fight. You stink of mud, Bentens."
Oh, you silver-haired girl. Did you remember my name?
I only saw you once at a fairy ball.
"Blue white, it's time to clean up. Remind me of the cleanliness of ice."
"Yes, ma'am. Me and the Lord's pure white, blooming mass"
What are these guys, subordinate relationships?
I don't know. Ye put the two together and call me.
"Whoa. You're coming from over there. You're so smart."
Sounds like a little fun.
But it stinks of mud. This guy fits too beautifully, you know what the nature of the fight is? No matter what means you use to win, you won't have to drink. That's fine, you idiot.
