Chapter 731: Attack on the Magic Beast King (side: Treant)
…The Magic Beast King deflected Aro-dono’s [Dark Sphere] with its eyelid. Attracting its attention seems impossible, but at the same time, if we do somehow manage to annoy it, we probably wouldn’t last more than a few seconds. As I thought, this plan is reckless.
Should I have stopped Aro-dono? No, perhaps persuading her will be easier now that she sees how little we can do. The difference between us and the Magic Beast King is too vast for us to be made up for through determination alone.
I might be able to persuade her to go with a different plan now…
“Treant-san, the birds are coming!”
Startled by Aro-dono’s voice, I look up. One of the birds is right in front of us. I hastily use [Woven Armour] to block. At the same time, Aro-dono takes a sharp turn to shake it off.
『Th-that was close… Sorry, Aro-dono. I was too focused on the Magic Beat King.』
The four-eyed birds are dangerous enough on their own. Each of them are upper B or lower A. There are many of them, and they’re specialised for speed, so they could easily catch us the moment we let our guard down.
“…Treant-san, from my attack just now, I realised something.”
『Aro-dono…?』
