...... On second thought, it's no wonder I'm considered the least effective of the bunch.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
I'm eight years old and I don't have any demons that I've tamed.
If you don't have a cousin, you don't get a share of the growth value, so you are the weakest tamer at that point.
The assumption that tamers have followers was so obvious that it slipped my mind.
Yes, of course.
The lord's son must have said something along the lines of, "An 8-year-old tamer is useless.
In general, there is no ...... way that he meant that tamers are worthless.
As soon as I understood that, I took out my ruyi-bou.
In any case, I'm still the best fighter here because I have the Ruyi Stick, and if I let anyone else do the fighting, I'm in a situation where people could die.
Normally, it is not a good idea to ignore the arguments of a nobleman, even if he is a child, but I can't turn my back on him, so I will fight.
Just when I thought that...
Just as I was thinking that, "...... Oh no!
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
I clung to the stick, reminded myself to stretch as hard as I could, and moved up into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the book he was holding emitted an evil light and a weird aura in all directions.
It was the "Scripture of Fear," an intimidation technique that Inohachihadai specializes in.
The Scripture of Fear has no more effect than intimidation, and does zero direct damage, but the time it takes to activate is incredibly short.
That's why we couldn't defeat it first and were forced to evacuate to the sky.
I felt a chill run down my spine, even though I was at a high altitude and far out of the area of effect.
If I had taken it seriously, ...... my whole body would have gone rigid with fear, and I would have been preyed upon without being able to swing my ruyi-ban.
I pulled out a muscle dungeon from my storage spell and jumped on it.
With my current physical strength, a fall from this height would inevitably result in broken bones.
Besides, it's easier to aim and shoot at Inohacchan from the air.
Once he returned the stick to its original length, he observed Inohachai.
He didn't look at the people who had fallen down after being hit by the Scripture of Fear, but looked straight at me.
His eyes had a power that seemed to say, "I will not let any of my prey escape.
I pointed the tip of the ruyi-ban at the boar and aimed at its head.
He is currently chanting a spell and gathering magic power in his palm.
This is a great way to make sure that you don't get caught in the middle of a situation.
(Extend...)
I thought to myself.
In the next instant, the head of Inohachai, which had been hit by the kinetic energy of the super-fast ruyi-bou, disappeared like a crushed tomato.
At the same time, the mass of magic power that was halfway collected flew in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
The fact that I felt that my magical power and physical abilities had been greatly strengthened was proof that I had not failed to defeat Inohachai.
This kind of growth can only happen after a successful defeat.
It's a relief.
With that in mind, I descended to the ground.
...... So, what to do now?
The people who received the Scripture of Fear have all fainted and blown bubbles.
I don't think I'll be able to move for a while.
It's unrealistic to carry them all home, but I can't leave this place to call for help.
It would be a disaster if another demon came and attacked these kids while we were calling for help.
Just as I was thinking about this, a man was coming towards me.
Are you okay? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
...... I see. I thought the timing was perfect, and that's why.
So you sensed the aftermath of the Scripture of Fear and came running.
I managed. I can manage. ...... Everyone else has fainted from fear, so could you help me carry them to safety?
"Of course. But what the hell could have happened to cause this?
The man turned to Inohachi as he said this.
And right after that, the man dropped the luggage bag in his hand.
I'm sure it's not the Oak ....... I'm sure you're right.
I think so. I think so. I've actually used the Scripture of Fear.
I didn't know that such a person had emerged. ......
The man said and sighed.
A few seconds of silence followed. What broke the silence was the man's question.
"......? Wait a minute. You didn't really beat this guy, did you?
The man looked at Inohachi and me alternately, his expression one of disbelief.
I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea to have a little more time to think about it.
I was slightly muddled.
The ruyi-bou is too much of a flying tool for a child to carry.
In this case, it was useful as a self-defense tool, but it is also true that many people do not think well of a child carrying a ruyi-bang.
In light of this, it must be better to keep the name of the specific weapon secret.
...... Yeah, let's change the subject.
In any case, this is not the time to talk about how to defeat the Inohachi.
"Among those lying here is the lord's son, Prinzel. So I think we should take them all to the lord's mansion for now.
I suggested.
The lord's mansion is also the closest building from here, so it should be a reasonable decision.
"Right. Let's split up and carry it.
The guy immediately agreed with me.
Thank God for .......
It looks like I won't have to deal with the question of how to defeat the boar.
There were four of us in Prinzel's group, including me, which means there were three victims of the Scripture of Fear.
The man carried two of them, including Prinzel, and I carried the other one on my shoulder.
It would have been quicker if I could have carried them on the Muscle Dipper, but ...... that thing is designed to slip through if anyone other than the Sun Wukong's defeated followers and their masters try to ride it.
There's no point in begging for something you don't have.
If you continue walking for about 10 minutes, you will see the lord's mansion.
...... We're almost there.
Just when I thought that.
"Huh, ...... huh, ...... huh, ...... huh.
Suddenly, I heard a squeaky breath coming from next to me.
When I turned around, I saw that the breath was coming from Prinzel, whose hands and earlobes were slightly bluish.
This is not good. ......
As I was thinking this, the man holding Prinzel somehow started to walk faster.
Wait a minute! ...... Let's put Mr. Prinzel down for a moment," I suggested.
I suggested.
But the man's reply was unbelievable.
What are you talking about? Mr. Prinzel doesn't have long to live. If you don't go to your lord as soon as possible, you won't be able to see your parents one last time.
I questioned the man's sanity.
...... This guy is thinking on the premise that Prinzel will die?
I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.
In response, the ...... man was silent for a few seconds and then quietly said.
You can help Prinzel in this state? It seems to me that this is just the selfish idealism of a child.
This is going to take a long time to convince him.
I thought so, but the man continued.
I'd say ......, but you've already performed the miracle of defeating the boar alone. I'll believe it just once.
