Chapter 60

Chapter 60: The Perspective of Hero Grathias"

I called for a meeting to organize the situation.

And I gathered the B-rank party as well.

"Dear B-rank comrades, you've bravely challenged the Behemoth. I commend that point. Next, there's still one Centaur remaining. While the Behemoth was fighting, it stayed in the back. However, it emerged as if to switch places. If we defeat the Centaur, victory will be ours in this battle!"

As a hero, I analyzed the current battle situation and spoke.

Analyzing the battle situation is crucial in the fight.

For the relatively inexperienced B-rank party, analysis is a challenge.

So, I provided the analysis.

Then, Falmeida of the Oniryu squad said something.

"The Centaur can fight in this condition as well."

"Please, Falmeida."

"The Centaur is closing in, Grathias. It wants to engage in combat immediately."

"Alright, Misha, I'll rely on you on the front lines. I'll go as well. Everyone from the Oniryu and Inazuma squads, stick with me, understood?"

"Yes, Grathias."

Everyone followed my orders.

The Centaur was already right in front of us.

Its upper body was that of a human, and its lower body was that of a horse.

It carried weapons and seemed to use a bow.

I instructed Feenel to remain on standby, providing support with recovery magic.

The Centaur and Misha clashed first.

The sounds indicated an intense battle.

I stood behind Misha, planning to use sword techniques.

It didn't work only against the Behemoth.

It would definitely work against the Centaur.

I couldn't understand why B-rank adventurers were effective against it, but I would defeat the Centaur!

Darenmull from the Inazuma squad approached me.

"Grathias, there's something I'd like to ask."

"What is it? You're my senior, so go ahead."

Perhaps he had doubts facing the Centaur.

Considering it was likely an A-rank or high-ranking B-rank, it was reasonable to feel uneasy.

"Regarding sword techniques, Grathias, attacks had absolutely no effect on the Behemoth. At that time, you explained it was due to its skill that nullified physical attacks. However, when members of my squad attempted sword techniques, they worked just fine. I thought it might have been a coincidence, but it happened repeatedly. Why did they work against the Centaur?"

Darenmull was suspicious of my battle against the Behemoth.

He was asking for an explanation as to why my sword techniques didn't work properly.

How should I know!

Why they worked and why my sword techniques didn't work – I'm more interested in finding that out!

Ignoring it might lead to doubts about my sword techniques.
