Chapter 151: Amazing, Kazu, cleaning up a Corporal-class alone easily

In a rain of strikes possessing intense power, the worm’s huge body continued having Aura Mail shaved more and more.

Then around slamming dozens of continuous attacks, the Aura scattering from the worm’s body ran out... the Aura for defense ran out.

(Good! I shaved it completely!)

While cheering in his heart, all the Aura granted destruction effect Kazui gathered in his right leg.

The light of both hands and the left foot vanished, and a state of only below the knee of the right leg shining.

Kazui kicked the ground and soared, and while rotating his body right extended his right leg.

Releasing a whirlwind kick, Kazui kicked away the worm’s head.

At the same time as the impact of the whirlwind kick, Aura granted destruction effect released from Kazui’s right leg flowed into the worm’s head.

Kazui’s Aura destroyed the worm’s head completely and caused an explosion.

The worm’s head became countless pieces of flesh and scattered to the surroundings.

But even looking like a living thing it was a monster, so the pieces of flesh while releasing light melted into the atmosphere and vanished.

Kazui blown by the blast, like an acrobat master, skillfully controlled his aerial posture and landed splendidly.

He had conviction of finishing it, but Kazui did not let his guard down, immediately looked toward the worm, and checked its state.

The worm whose head was completely destroyed started releasing white light from the remaining whole body.

Then the worm’s huge body, like a sand statue dissolving and collapsing in waves, collapsed.

The large amount of sand-like particles that were the worm also vanished while releasing light... leaving a small magic stone.

"Alright!"

Having defeated the worm, Kazui raised a voice.

(With this I think everything is cleaned up, but for form’s sake I’ll confirm.)

Kazui lay on the ground and put an ear to the ground left wild.

Vibration from underground was already not transmitted.

"That just now was the last!"

From around fifty meters away, Tint’s voice echoed.

The other martial artist Tint, same as Kazui, put an ear to the ground, confirmed vibration, and called out to Kazui.

"Seems so!"

Kazui got up and answered Tint.

Releasing Burst Strike whose Aura consumption was intense, leaving Aura Mail and Aura Speeder activated, Kazui for form’s sake looked around the surroundings and stayed wary.

On top of confirming safety, Kazui started chanting a short spell.

Then at Kazui’s feet a shining magic circle appeared.

He used magic that hardly used magic power, so the magic circle was small and the light weak.

The color of the magic circle’s light was white that could be called ordinary.

As Kazui continued chanting the spell, spell letters were added to the magic circle one after another.

"Lux Rubrum!"

Saying the magic name, Kazui closed the magic name.

Then the magic called Lux Rubrum started activating.

Red flashes released from the magic circle to the surroundings, and the magic circle shattered to pieces and vanished.

Then the magic completely activated, and a plain change happened to the surrounding scene.

From the ground here and there, a situation of red light releasing as if red lamps were installed.

One of the red lights was around where the worm Kazui just defeated had fallen.

Kazui walked close to the red light and examined the ground.

Then a magic stone releasing red light fallen on the ground, Kazui confirmed.

"Not one-ring mark size. I failed to confirm the sun marks, but the last worm seems to have been two-ring marks."

Picking up the magic stone, on top of confirming the magic stone’s size, Kazui put the magic stone in his pocket.

Lux Rubrum was magic that made magic stones around glow red like red lamps.

After combat ended, there were cases of magic stones left by defeated monsters being hard to search.

Magic convenient for that kind of situation, Kazui used.

Kazui and Tint divided the work and gathered magic stones left by the defeated worms.

The red light vanished in about one minute, but the two with Aura Speeder activated were immediately able to recover all the magic stones fallen over a wide range.

Kazui and Tint who finished picking up magic stones returned to the truck that had withdrawn.

Then they had Yuri and Nora on the bed open a hole in the deployed defensive barrier, entered, and rode the bed.

Kazui and Tint returned, so immediately the truck started running.

On the shaking truck bed running the ground left wild, Kazui and Tint started talking with Yuri and Nora. ℯℯ𝑙.

The clothes the four were wearing had become sleeveless.

The Northern Continent was already summer, so the adventurers’ martial arts uniforms and combat uniforms had become sleeveless or short-sleeve summer ones.

While wary of the surroundings for form’s sake, the four confirmed the magic stones.

Two-ring marks... what seemed Corporal-class was only the last one, and the remaining four worms were all one-ring marks... Private-class monsters.

But worms not only huge but possessing the ability to move underground, even Private-class were the powerful category.

Among those treated as small fry, they were a fairly strong category.

Some worms were Corporal-class and treated as monsters of a level that could not be called small fry.

"The last one seemed strong, but it really was Corporal-class."

While pinching and confirming a black magic stone larger than the others with fingers, Nora continued.

"Amazing, Kazu, cleaning up a Corporal-class alone easily."

While impressed, Nora continued.

"Tint got a considerable gap put on him."

Kazui and Tint became adventurers at the same time.

Before Tint was considerably above in both level and ability, but after becoming able to use Replication, by Kazui who started raising level and ability at an abnormal pace, he was in a state of being overtaken.

"Just recent Kazu is outrageous. I’m for form’s sake... the category of fast improvement."

While looking at Nora with half-lidded eyes, Tint muttered.

"I know that."

Actually Tint’s speed of improvement as an adventurer, though not to Kazui’s degree, was a fairly fast category.

On top of being blessed with talent, and having trained martial arts before coming to Aquila, the pace of level and ability rising, Tint was fast.

Following Nora and Tint, Yuri opened his mouth.

"For having come home in the morning, good movement. You said you wouldn’t come home in the morning on days with work."

"Not that I wouldn’t come home in the morning, I said I’d properly sleep!"

Embarrassedly Kazui answered back to Yuri.

"Lack of sleep is the problem, so even coming home in the morning, if I properly slept it’s no problem!"

"You came home in the morning?"

At Tint’s question, Kazui answered awkwardly.

"Well, somehow... the flow became staying over."

"Who was the partner?"

With a face full of interest, Nora asked Kazui.

"Yeah yeah, not prying into that kind of thing is manners."

Right after Tint rebuked partner Nora, after a whistle-like sound, an explosion sound echoed in the sky.

Tension ran all at once among the four.

What the explosion sound roaring in the sky after a whistle-like sound was, the four knew.

"It might be a rescue request signal flare!"

Through the window connecting the bed and the cab, Kazui called out to the driver in the cab.

"I’ll go confirm, so stop the truck!"

"Got it!"

The driver stepped on the brake and stopped the truck.
