Helios Orb Chronicle – Chapter 410

“Mako-san!”

“Leave it to me!”

The plaza where the Treasure Tree towered was spread out around it.

However, since Hanuman was occupying the area, we stopped about 200 meters away from the Treasure Tree.

The reason was to have Mako-san use her Unique Magic, Field Cosmos.

Mako-san’s Field Cosmos had higher strength than the Barrier Protect Fielding that covered the town, so even Catastrophe Species could not break through it.

There were many Abnormal Species and Catastrophe Species here, and who knew what kind of damage would be done if even one of them escaped.

Therefore, Mako-san would use Field Cosmos, and we intended to defeat all the monsters here.

“Deployment complete! I’m ready when you are!”

“Understood!”

As expected of Mako-san, she’s fast.

“First, we’ll reduce their numbers! Then, we’ll target Hanuman!”

Honestly, I wanted to go for Hanuman immediately, but with nearly 500 monsters, unexpected attacks could come from anywhere if we didn’t thin their numbers.

While ordinary and high-ranking monsters could be handled, rare species posed a risk of distracting us, and Abnormal Species and Catastrophe Species could inflict fatal wounds.

Therefore, regardless of the type, we had to start by reducing their numbers.

“Understood! No holding back!”

At my command, Mako-san generated Spirit Hexa Dipper and activated the S-rank spell, Starlight Circle.

Starlight Circle, deployed within a 50-meter radius, created ice mirrors around us.

Light danced from these ice mirrors, amplifying its power as it bounced, piercing the monsters one after another.

What’s more, despite being an all-directional attack, friendly forces were not hit at all, which was truly incredible processing power.

“I haven’t seen this in a while, but it’s still as brutal as ever.”

“It hits no matter where they are within range, right? And the power is so high, it might end even rare species with just this?”

I agreed with Prim and Ludia’s remarks.

No, with Mako-san’s Engraving Magic strength and precision, it seemed capable of defeating not just Abnormal Species, but even Catastrophe Species.

Admittedly, the number of monsters being simultaneously targeted this time was large, so the power seemed to be reduced.

“Since I’m also using Field Cosmos, the power is naturally affected. More importantly, I’ll create some space in front of us, so please fight there.”

“Got it!”

Just as Mako-san said, a portion of the area in front of us was no longer reached by Starlight Circle.

We were driving the monsters into that space, but the Starlight Circle’s light was still dancing all around, completely immobilizing the monsters.

Even more terrifying, Falcon’s Beak and Beastar also had similar spaces created with them.

If Living Type Engraving Tools could do this, how much processing power would Setting Type ones have?

And speaking of Spirit Hexa Dipper, I was starting to doubt if it was truly a Single Attribute Type.

But now wasn’t the time to think about such things.

Since a favorable fighting space had been created, let’s defeat them quickly!

As I rushed into the space, I unleashed Ice Edge Javelin towards the monsters cornered by Starlight Circle.

Everyone else was also unleashing their magic.

The first to reach the space, I activated Mist Solution, which was a pale green, and cut down the Quake Kong in front of me.

“Hiyyaaaah!”

Ludia, who arrived right after me, also punched the Cresthorn Pegasus with Dragon Grapple imbued with Assault Blazer, and Meena crushed the Dark Breath Bull with Mace Quake.

Since this battlefield was filled with many Normal, High-Ranking, and Rare Species, as well as Abnormal and Catastrophe Species, we, Wing Crest, made up of many Ancient Classes, had a responsibility to hunt the high-ranking monsters first.

Outside the space, the Starlight Circle’s light was dancing, making it a bit difficult for Prim, who specialized in high-speed combat. However, she was still clad in Extreme Flame Wing and had Extreme Flame Blading on Scarlet Wing, splitting the Catoblepas in half, so she should be able to defeat it without taking too much time.

Once their numbers were reduced to a certain extent, I planned to head towards Hanuman.

But for now, I had to defeat as many monsters as possible!

S. Burks

Damn it, ever since I got acquainted with Yamato and the others, it’s been a continuous stream of incredible battles.

After all, Yamato and Prim annihilated Abyss Taurus the day they met, and a week later, they took on the Demise Species Orc Emperor and Orc Empress one-on-one. In the war before that, they even took down Slume Lord and Antlion Empress.

And on top of that, they’re going after the Demise Species Hanuman in the Gagun Great Forest. It makes me wonder if they’re not insane.

But it’s not entirely without reason.

Yamato’s reason for wanting to become stronger is not only to protect his companions but also to defeat the Divine Emperor of the Abaricia Kingdom, who seeks to bring ruin to Helios Orb.

It seems that the Divine Emperor has gained power that surpasses Ancient Class by using Demon Crystals, according to an oracle, so to counter him, they have no choice but to aim higher.

Furthermore, the biggest reason is that the Divine Emperor is a visitor from the same world as Yamato and Mako.

It’s not that Yamato and Mako are bad, but perhaps because they are inherently serious, they feel responsible for the fact that someone from their own world has become a being that destroys Helios Orb.

It’s true that the Divine Emperor might be from Yamato and their world, but the truth is, he apparently transmigrated over 200 years ago, so there’s no direct connection to them.

Besides, I owe them something, or rather, I’m indebted to them, so no Hunter here blames them for it.

“Here, take this!”

Kicking the Shaker Kong in front of me with some irritation, I slashed it with my jade silver arm blade.

“Nice one! Take this!”

Clarice’s arrow pierced the Shaker Kong’s head, ending its life.

My level is now 57, and my equipment uses jade silver and materials from high-ranking monsters, so I can now fight reasonably well against P-rank monsters, let alone G-rank ones.

With my wife Salina and Clarice, I think we could even take on M-rank monsters.

“Nnngh!”

However, the Mega Quake’s powerful fist swung through the air right next to me.

Well, I dodged it, but it was a close call, and I was genuinely flustered.

“Burks! You’re too careless!”

“We don’t want to be widows right after getting married!”

After Cliff-san’s greatsword severed both of its arms, the Mega Quake was impaled through the heart by Salina’s spear and perished.

Crap… I’m going to get lectured about this later…

“My… my bad!”

“If you think it’s your bad, then don’t be careless again, okay?”

Of course.

It was my fault for thinking about unnecessary things during combat, and if you call that carelessness, then you’re right.

“Alright!”

Now, I need to concentrate all my senses.

I’m scared of being lectured later, but first, we need to survive this situation!

Side: Carl

In front of me, the Catastrophe Species Avalanche Howl had its head severed by Mother’s great scythe.

As a member of Falcon’s Beak, I had gone to Torencia and Solemne, and I had also participated in the Slume Lord subjugation battle, so this wasn’t my first time seeing an Avalanche Howl.

Back then, it hadn’t evolved yet, so I was strictly in a support role. Even so, I thought I was going to die when I was attacked by an Icicle Tiger.

I was saved because Raus and Carol-sama of Wing Crest rushed to my aid, but at the same time, I witnessed the strength of the two younger individuals, which caused me to lose confidence for a while.

I couldn’t evolve during the Solemne march, but I finally managed to evolve during the exploration of the Instant Labyrinth that Mother and the others entered for revenge, so I was able to regain some confidence.

Or so I thought, and then Raus evolved into an Ancient Class, which left me with nothing but laughter.

Raus belongs to Wing Crest, which has over ten Ancient Classes, so I don’t even feel envious anymore.

“Carl, behind you!”

“Got it!”

Reacting to the voice of Milly, a Beastar fighter and the daughter of my partner and sub-leader Holly, I parried a Frezas Tiger that was attacking from behind with my spear.

Milly is one year older than me and at a higher level. She also evolved during the Solemne march, but to me, she’s like an older sister.

Milly, aiming for the neck of the Frezas Tiger floating in the air from my spear, charged forward with her clawed gauntlets imbued with fire magic.

After taking such an attack, the Frezas Tiger’s neck was deeply gouged, and it naturally perished.

“Next!?”

“Looks like a Crest Unicorn!”

The next target for Milly and me was the Abnormal Species Crest Unicorn.

It’s a G-I rank, but it’s still a monster far superior to us. It can not only thrust with its curved horn but also slash with it, making it difficult to approach due to its inherent speed.

“Carl! I’ll leave that one to you! Take this!”

However, when Milly slammed her fist into the ground, the roots of the Fusang Tree, which formed the ground, rose like spears, hindering the Crest Unicorn’s movement.

This is Milly’s Unique Magic, Growing Lancer.

Normally, it cannot be used on Fusang Tree roots, but Milly has been granted Earth, Water, and Tiered Magic, Tree Magic, so by combining them, she can use it regardless of whether it’s on the ground or on tree roots.

That said, she improved it based on advice from Yamato and Mako.

However, I haven’t created my own Unique Magic yet, which is something I envy.

No, that’s for later.

Using Flying, I leaped onto the Crest Unicorn that Milly had momentarily stunned with Growing Lancer.

Perhaps because I am a Harpy half, I have an affinity for wind magic.

After evolving to High Class, I also gained an affinity for fire magic, so I enveloped my spear with fire, accelerated it with wind magic and Accelerating Magic, and pierced the Crest Unicorn in one go!

The Crest Unicorn, struck by my fire spear, was slammed into the ground, its life extinguished.

Regrettably, my spear could not penetrate the Crest Unicorn, but I believe it was completed as the Unique Magic Blaze Storm Thruster, and since I defeated an Abnormal Species, I’ll consider it good.

It’s similar to Prim’s Flare Penetrator or Seraphim Penetrator, but there are countless Unique Magics like that, so it’s not a problem!
