Sudden demonic rampage and defense. And the violence of creation

It looks like the matchmaking party was a success.

Several couples were born, and some people said they could move to this village separately from the couples.

Therefore, they will slowly get to know each other over time and eventually create a new family.

As I was sleeping in the hut assigned to me and Tet, I felt a violent tremor and reflexively jumped up.

"Tet! Something is coming! Get ready now!"

"Yes!"

I jump up with a cane in hand, followed by Tet.

Moreover, even though the other adventurers continued their development work, they quickly rushed out of their respective homes, as if their instincts as adventurers had not dulled.

"Chise-san! What is this?"

Mr. Gash asked me first, and I shook my head.

"I don't know. Everyone, guide the non-combatants!"

"Okay! Then I'll take you to the basement of the village chief's house!"

"Please! --"Fly"!"

I asked Mr. Gash and the other adventurers to guide me in evacuation, and I used flight magic to fly high and gaze toward the forest.

While gathering magical power in his eyes and trying to see through the forest at night, he found countless suspicious lights in the forest.

"That's a monster... If things continue like this, the village I took the pains to build..."

Seeing the monster running on the ground, I don't have much time to spare.

"Tet! Immediately build a barrier around the village!"

"Yes!"

Under my instructions, Tet manipulates the soil at the border between the village and the forest, creating a compressed earth wall about 5 meters high.

Adventurers and evacuees wishing to immigrate are surprised by the great magic that surrounds a small pioneer village.

Inside, Tet and I climb onto a high mud wall and confront the monsters approaching from the north.

"I'll do it. --!"

It fires countless wind blades at the monsters that appear from the forest, cutting into their bodies.

As over 30 magic wipes out the monsters, the monsters that appear between them approach the wall surrounding the village.

"Let's do it!"

Tet then jumps down from the top of the wall and cuts down the approaching monsters one after another with his sword.

The black magic sword bathed in Teto's magical power easily cuts through monsters, and the monsters that bite Teto's body are blocked by Teto's own [physical reinforcement] defense, and are easily swung around by his physical strength.

"Chise girls! We'll do it too!"

"Tet girl, you're moving too far forward! Come back!"

It seems that the adventurers have finished guiding the non-combatants to the basement of the village chief's house, and they are gathering one after another, but they don't care and are happily slashing at the monsters and showering them with blood.

"Tet is fine. Just let him do his thing."

"Oh, I will. I don't have the courage to jump in there."

In terms of monster strength, it is probably a low rank monster such as D or E rank.

However, they appear endlessly from the forest and attack Tet one after another without fear.

On the contrary, it looks like they are running away from something along the village wall.

"Then, prevent the monsters from entering from the top of the wall. Don't accidentally fall outside the wall."

"I understand. But if it's a monster of this level, I can withstand it for five minutes!"

He says that if he had that much time, he would be able to climb up the wall and escape by jumping on his own.

As expected, they are C-rank veteran adventurers who are about to settle down in the pioneer village.

"Then I'll head deep into the forest."

"Hey, are you planning on going alone?"

The adventurer who is the leader of the pioneer group tries to stop me.

However, I shake my head at that.

"If we don't eliminate the cause, there's a possibility that we'll be in trouble. Besides, I'm going to fly to check on the situation, but is there anyone who can come with me?"

When I say that, the adventurers fall silent.

When shown advanced magic such as flight magic, everyone remained silent.

"Then I'll go. Tet, protect everyone!"

"Yes, it is!"

Teto swings his magic sword and smiles at me. However, since I was covered in blood, I thought I might as well take a bath afterward.

As I flew alone toward the forest at night, I saw the trees in the forest fall and a hole in the mountain.

"What is that? --"Light"!"

Stay above the hole and launch light magic for illumination.

Then, the contents of a large hole in the forest are revealed.

"Monster. Is that a dragon?"

A creature with a green body appeared slowly, lifting its long snake-like sickle neck and swallowing the monster that was too late to escape.

Moreover, it had not one head, but four, and four pairs of eyes were staring at me as I launched the light.

"A multi-headed dragon—is it a hydra?"

I saw it in Daryl's town monster encyclopedia, and Hydra has a high regenerative ability, and the more heads it has, the more troublesome it becomes.

It would be comparable to a C to B rank with three heads, and a B rank with four heads.

"If it was a three-headed C-rank, we could probably defeat it if a bunch of adventurers from the pioneering village attacked it, and if it was a four-headed one, we might be able to defeat it if we made a sacrifice.But—"

The person I have been living with for the past month may be the victim.

Those thoughts crossed my mind, and while I was thinking for a moment, a four-headed hydra stretched out its neck and aimed at me, intent on swallowing me whole.

"Tsk! --"Wind Cutter"!"

While diving under the head of the attacking Hydra, it fires wind blades at its head and neck.

When I faced the ogre, I was able to cut through only a thin layer of skin, so I put a lot of magic into it, but I was only able to cut a few centimeters below the skin.

『――Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! """

Not only does it have hardness due to its body reinforcement, which is worthy of its reputation as a powerful monster, but it also has the characteristic of a monster that the parts that are slashed will bubble up and the wounds will regenerate immediately.

"It's troublesome. However, in terms of body strength, is it on par with an ogre? That's it! ---Hard Shoot!"

I take out four magic crystals from my magic bag and launch them at high speed just like when I defeated the ogre.

The super-hardened crystal pierces the hydra's head and penetrates, causing the head to fall down without any force.

"Phew, now the subjugation is complete... isn't it?"

The hydra's head falls to the ground and makes a rumble, but the wound bubbles, regenerates, and lifts up again.

"Normally, if your brain is destroyed, it's over, but...ah, if you have one of your brains, it will regenerate?"

A small fifth head was still growing hidden at the base of the fallen Hydra's neck.

"Then, this time, I won't let you escape!"

He releases the [Magic Crystal] in order to destroy all five heads of the regenerated Hydra.

However, Hydra's five heads must have learned my attack, as the largest head receives all the magic crystals.

And though his head is torn to pieces, it is healed by Hydra's regenerative powers.

"Really, it's an impossible game! Destroying five heads at the same time... Wait!"

『 『――Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! """

A hydra breath like a violent stream of water is released, and I dodge and avoid it.

If this was a breath of flame or poison, there might have been forest fires or pollution, so the breath of water would be a blessing in disguise.

However, if the breath of water is released onto the ground many times, the forest will become devastated.

"I will defeat Hydra by myself... What will I do? How will I defeat it!"

Fortunately, the main body is heavy and slow, so it's easy to escape.

However, there is no magic powerful enough to destroy all five heads of Hydra at once.

In that case, if you completely destroy the body connected to the hydra's head, it will essentially be like cutting off its head.

"Now, let's do it!"

I use flight magic to raise my altitude to almost directly above the hydra's body.

A height that you can't reach even if you stretch your five necks.

So I took out a large amount of magic crystals that I had stored in my magic bag.

Using my magical power as a priming force, I draw magical power from the magic crystal I took out.

A huge amount of magical power gathers in me, and the magic crystals break one after another under the load.

"100 magic crystals with 1000 magical power stored in them! A creative magic that uses 100,000 magical power in total! ――[Creation] Guillotine!"

From 100,000 magical powers, a gigantic execution blade is created to cut Hydra's torso in half, and it floats in the air.

"Fall!"

Then, I use my remaining magical power to create a path for my fall, and the weight of my dark magic increases the acceleration of my fall.

『 『――Kishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! """

Hydra looks up and drags its heavy body in an attempt to escape, but a guillotine blade approaches from above and falls on its torso and the base of its head.

Due to the impact of the massive fall, the body of the hydra that was catching it was severed in half, leaving only its neck to run away as if crawling on the ground.

"He's still alive. He's stubborn. But is his magical power visibly decreasing?"

It's probably the head of the hydra that controls its regeneration properties, and it's the magic power supplied from the magic stone in its body that supports it.

As a result of it being bisected all at once, each head in a panic started to crawl and try to escape.

However, their necks are connected by a part of the flesh of their torso at the base, and their heads are pulling each other's legs, making it impossible for them to escape.

"Well, I don't have much magic left. Let's defeat him as soon as possible."

Most of the creation of the execution blade was done with magic crystals, but it still uses my magic power.

While I don't have much magical power left, I quickly drink a homemade mana potion from my magic bag to recover my magical power.

"The amount of recovery is higher than the one made with creation. After all, the one made with creation magic is inefficient."

One bottle can recover about 500 magic power.

It's enough for a normal magician, but for me, I'm not satisfied with the amount of recovery that is around 10%.

Still, by easing the rapid decline in magical power, I felt calmer mentally.

Then I wonder how to destroy a hydra head as big as my body.

"Just in case, I still have some spare magic crystals---"Hard Shoot"!"

This time, I will shoot hardened magic crystals at high speed into the head of the Hydra, which cannot escape, completely destroying its head and silencing it.

"Huh, for now, let's put up a barrier here and wait until morning."

I was really tired.

The five-headed hydra is A-rank. No, I guess it's an A- because it's underdeveloped.

Still, he feels tired from defeating the monsters that pose a threat to humanity, so he puts up a barrier to protect himself in this place filled with the smell of Hydra blood and rests.

Then, while drinking the second mana potion, he rested his back against a nearby tree and wrapped himself in a hooded cloak to spend the night.
