Book 3: Chapter 26
「Mimino, Non, quickly!」
Dante-san ran behind them. I was at the very back, riding on Neko-chan.
Immediately after Non-san and Mimino-san jumped into the next passage, the first one of the feeler geckos jumped at me.
I hit it with【Fire Magic】on the snout. It fell to the ground, screaming and squirming.
「Ugh, disgusting.」
Leon had also pulled out his longsword before I realised, and with a gentle swing, a gecko’s body was cut in half. Pebbles poured out of its long intestine track and the stomach. Are they eating the cliff perhaps?
At any rate, Leon’s swordsmanship was amazing. He pierced the top of the head of one gecko and with a flowing motion he slashed another that jumped at him.
The flow of his movements seemed almost like steps in a dance—I realised that this was the strength of a Gold-rank.
And of course, the strength of his weapon also played a part. A sharp-bladed longsword that slices a body cleanly in half even if it contains stones. The sword doesn’t seem to contain Mithril, but it’s not any ordinary metal, either.
