Everyone is in confusion, and they are not responding to the shouts of the adventurers. ……
The city is in shambles.
The centipedes vary in size, but they are at least two meters in diameter.
The biggest one is probably over five meters.
They were springing up in the city and were following the people all around them when they spotted them.
I don’t know how many adventurers there are who can stand up against the big monsters, and most of the people here are non-combatants.
And most of them can only manage to get away.
“Uchiakage, please exterminate the centipedes!”
“Got it!”
“And Alena?”
“I want you to follow him! Alena is the only one who can withstand his speed!”
“Ok!”
The two of them should be helping people instead of working with me!
Uchikage is very mobile and should be able to slaughter a lot of centipedes.
Alena’s skills are long-range, so if the two of them work together, they can almost certainly kill the centipedes they come up against!
Alena gets on Uchikage’s shoulder and disappears as soon as they confirm it.
Since they move so fast that one cannot see them, the enemy should die before they know what happened.
Fortunately, the centipede itself is not that strong, so even an adventurer should be able to handle it!
“Uwaaaah!”
“Is that a child? I can’ t leave it alone!”
The magic crystal is in the opposite direction, but saving lives is important too!
I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to sleep well if I leave them behind and give priority to this one!
…… Or maybe I can’t wake up from my sleep….?
The child was close by and I was able to find him quickly.
Apparently, he was running away from two centipedes.
I can easily deal with that much!
I intervened between the child and the centipedes and blew one centipede away with my explosive fist.
The other centipede should have been in the line of fire, so it should have blown away together with the other centipede.
As soon as I released my stance with this thought, I saw the body of the centipede running from the side, which I could not see due to the smoke from the explosive fist.
“Hah!? You evade it!?”
I never heard it move that fast!
I have no idea!
I’m not going to make it …… in time!
The centipede is about to bite the child right now.
The child has given up and shut his eyes in preparation for the coming strike.
He curls up with his head in a cuddle, but the …… next thing that came was not the pain from the bite, but a gust of wind.
“Nnnnnn!? What’s going on!”
“Hm-mm!? What the hell was that!”
That attack wasn’t mine!
Did someone help us with them?
If so, that’s great!
I already to put the [Substitution] on the kid for the moment, just in case.
But who was it?
At least I should thank whoever was that person!
I looked in the direction from which the magic-like object flew and saw a woman standing there with three children in tow.
Her witch-like hat was a little too big for her, and she was holding it up with her hand so that it wouldn’t cover her eyes.
“Ah jeez, what is this ……? I haven’t shot magic in ages. ……”
“Sensei is awesome!”
“Quick, get the kid out of there!”
“Oh, right!”
“Aaaah! At least wait for me! Don’t go there alone you kid! It’s dangerous!”
The woman and her three children ran toward the children, ignoring me.
I wondered what I should do in such a situation.
After a moment’s thought, I came up with these words…….
