CHAPTER 811: CHAPTER 634: PIERCE THROUGH, GUARANTEED HIT ARROW

Seeing this, just as Ais was about to rush out to help, Reiger took action first.

"Swoosh!"

In the piercing sound of the wind, Reiger accelerated instantly from a standstill to the point where even after-images couldn’t be seen. Carrying the howling gale and even a gust of impact wind, he rushed into the group of man-eating flower monsters, blowing away rubble fragments as he went.

"Slash!"

A flash-like slash appeared in front of the leading man-eating flower monster, cutting it along with its wildly waving tentacles into two halves.

"Whooooooo——!"

The man-eating flower monster closest to him reacted first, angrily opening its jaws at Reiger, dripping with slime, trying to bite him to pieces with its sharp teeth.

Reiger, however, ignored this man-eating flower monster and continued to dash forward along with his charging momentum.

"[Release the Light Arrows, Holy Wood’s Bow, I am the Archer of Name.]"

As if he had returned to those days as an adventurer, constantly exploring the underground city and battling various monsters to the death, Reiger chanted magic while moving at high speed, allowing the solemn chant to resound.

"Whooooooo——!"

At this moment, all the man-eating flower monsters, demolishing everything around, ravaging the streets, and even chasing numerous adventurers including Theona and Theone, seemed to be stimulated by something, roaring as they turned their heads and charged violently towards Reiger’s direction.

"Those monsters...!"

Theona and Theone, ignored by the man-eating flower monsters for the second time, were almost infuriated to death.

Rephia finally saw the point.

"Those man-eating flowers react to magic!"

To be more precise, they react to Magic Power.

So, when Rephia used magic, the man-eating flower monsters abandoned Theona and Theone and charged towards her.

So, with Reiger using magic now, those man-eating flower monsters were also attracted and charged towards him.

"Can’t chant!"

Ais realized this and was preparing to help Reiger.

But what happened next told Ais and the others that Reiger didn’t need any help at all.

"Boom boom boom boom boom——!"

Countless tentacles repeatedly struck the ground, shattering stone slabs, raising dust, and devastating the street into a complete mess.

Reiger dashed back and forth under the attack of countless tentacles, moving like a rushing wind and resembling a flow of light, jumping, and flashing rapidly, spinning and sidestepping, evading all attacks with stunt-like movements.

"[Intercept, Fairy Archer.]"

During this process, Reiger’s chant did not stop at all, his breath and tone remained as calm, composed, and indifferent as ever.

"Parallel chanting...!?"

"Performing parallel chanting amid such dense attacks?"

"Is he crazy!?"

The adventurers fleeing everywhere were stunned.

Reiger showed them with facts whether he was crazy or not.

"[Pierce, Guaranteed Hit Arrow.]"

Perfectly dodging all tentacle attacks, and all collisions from the man-eating flower monsters, Reiger calmly chanted while swinging his sword, slicing a charging man-eating flower monster in two with one strike.

Attacking, moving, dodging, chanting... The young swordsman perfectly completed these four actions, completed parallel chanting, and roamed wantonly among the monster group, imprinting his figure in the eyes of all present.

Finally...

"[Arc-shaped Beam]!"

A densely golden magic array unfolded in the monster group, drawing all the man-eating flower monsters to himself. The young swordsman leaped high, riding the wind and soaring into the sky.

"————"

The next second, everyone’s vision was filled with a burst of flash. The young swordsman flying into the sky raised the magic array high, and struck a massive beam of light about ten meters in diameter towards the ground, causing it to descended from above and crash onto the land.

"Boom!!!"

In the deafening roar, the massive beam of light engulfed one man-eating flower monster after another, hitting the ground and destroying it effortlessly.

Just like that, the streets of East Main Street shook violently. The spot hit by the beam collapsed instantly, and the blast wind blew everything around away, even blowing away Theona and Theone who were relatively close.

"No way...!?"

"Liar!"

The two sisters watched all this in disbelief, being blown away while shouting amidst the explosive wind.

"This... this is my Magic!?"

Rephia was even more terrified, completely unable to believe that this was Magic Power learned by Reiger from her.

"Danger!"

Ais pressed Rephia down, pinning her to the ground to keep her from being blown away.

The surrounding adventurers were faring no better. Some were unfortunately blown away, crying out in pain, while others struggled to cling to nearby buildings to steady themselves. It was as though they’d been swept up by a massive typhoon and thrown into its eye, cries of distress echoing throughout.

"What, what is that?"

"A pillar of light?"

"Is it an area-wide annihilation spell by someone?"

Those closer to the eastern street, the incident’s epicenter, either saw the giant pillar of light descending from the heavens or were knocked to the ground by the quaking earth. Some exchanged glances, while others were visibly shocked.

"Is that Rephia’s magic?"

Loki, unfortunately, was among those knocked to the ground. Rubbing her backside, she winced with pain while squinting her eyes open.

"No, that’s not right. Although it indeed is Rephia’s magic, even if Rephia is a Magic Power fool with firepower comparable to a Level 5 first-tier adventurer, there’s no way [Arc-shaped Beam] could be unleashed with such power."

"A short chant single-shot magic can’t possibly wield the power of an extensive destruction magic that requires long chanting, can it?"

"This firepower already reaches the scale of Level 6... no, Level 7!"

Thoughts raced through Loki’s mind before she finally figured out the truth.

"Could it be that brat is back?"

If it were him, it might be possible to achieve this, and he also knows Rephia’s magic.

"Good chap, really managed to rush back in just a few days, huh?"

Loki rubbed her sore butt, struggled to stand up, looked at the gradually shrinking pillar of light, first complained, then laughed.

"This is good. Those little girls can finally regain a bit of spirit."

...

After a long while, the ground finally stopped shaking.

The giant light pillar descending from the sky disappeared.

Along with it, the ferocious man-eating flower monsters vanished too.

The ground also disappeared, leaving a gigantic hole in the eastern street, leading directly into the underground city.

"...Overdid it."

Reiger had already descended from the sky, standing at the edge of the pit, looking into the dark underground and around the scene that resembled a natural disaster aftermath, staying silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

Now it’s over; Loki and Finn might just blow their tops.

With such city district destruction, the Loki Familia is very likely to be fined by the guild.

The surrounding adventurers were still supporting each other, or stumbling, or covered in dust, casting fearful glances towards Reiger.

"...What kind of [Deceptive Swordsman] is this?"

"It’s basically a [Destruction Maniac]!

"That was going too far..."

"If anyone dares call this person a newbie again, I’ll make sure to slap them dead."

"If this is what a newbie is... then what are we? Useless?"

Such trembling remarks were being heard everywhere.

Reiger sheathed the Fool’s Sword, turned amidst the gazes of these people.

"Reiger (Mr. Reiger)!"

Theona, Theone, Rephia, and others were calling out to him there, appearing to want to settle scores with him.

Reiger’s gaze, however, was involuntarily drawn to the figure standing behind the crowd.

The blonde-haired, gold-eyed swordswoman stared straight at him, her eyes filled with reassurance.

Reiger smiled and walked towards the noisy, approaching girls.
