Chapter 400: A Certain Girl and the Royal Banquet 4 (side Miria)
Probably, the danger rank of the monsters disguised as soldiers is C+. Together with Meltia-san and Kuro-chan, I have have managed to subjugate a monster of that class before.
But the monster we fought that time wasn't much faster than us, and didn’t have ranged attacks. In other words, the match-up were good and we could compensate for the difference in ability through our advantage in numbers. On top of that, we aimed for the opponent’s weak spot, prepared a trap, and still just barely managed to come out on top.
I didn’t think it would be this terrifying to fight an intelligent monster that has a balance of speed and strength. We also don’t have Kuro-chan, who has been the cornerstone of our strength.
The worst part is that there about twenty of those monsters in this room alone. Throughout the entire castle, there's probably over ten times that number.
“Hahaha…”
I notice that I’ve become unable to stand and have sunk down. Coming here was the mistake. There's nothing that can be done anymore.
“If piercing attacks are no good, then how about this?”
“Mu?”
A hooded man twirls through the air and places a gloved hand on the head of the soldier tormenting Meltia-san. Behind his swaying purple hair, a tattoo of a wolf-like monster is drawn from his left eye to the corner of his mouth. It's 『Death Flame Garzan』, the top-class close-range mage.
