Amazing Village Building

Chapter 25: The cold cuts deep all the same

The surface of the water in the moat froze.

And we were in that water when it did. Unless something was done, we would be completely immobilized.

<<Oi, Baal! Whats the meaning of this!? Oi!? I know you can hear me, oi!>>

Tsk, hes not responding.Its all because of him that were in this mess. I wont forgive you for this, Baal!

Then I thought of something even worse than Baals incompetence. What if the people of this village had captured him and made him lie to us?

Theyve set us up?

Despite my panic, I tried to move forward. However, the frozen water made my progress slow. The other members were in a similar struggle.

Ha! You think this is enough to stop me? Ill show you!

While everyone else was helpless against the frozen water, the boss and the boss alone made great progress on going forward. Before long, the boss reached the other side of the frozen moat.

Lass! Youre the one who used magic to freeze the water, werent you!?

The one the boss scowled at was the blue-haired girl who was the closest among the villagers to the water.

Oraaa!!

The boss swung his axe at the girl.

I couldnt believe what happened next. The girl not only managed to avoid the bosss powerful attack, she was also able to snuck in a couple of slashes with the swords in her hand while moving to his side.

The boss had a Gift called [Axe Techniques].

It was impossible for someone to be able to avoid his attack and then attack him in returnunless they had a similar Gift, of course

Gah You! You can use magic and youre even great with swords? What, are you a Double Gift!?

Double Gift was the term for the rare people who had two Gifts.

But whats a Double Gift doing in a village like this? What the hells going on?

I shuddered at the thought. However, I realized that because the girl was fighting the boss, the moat stopped freezing further. Now was the best chance to get out.

I hit my body so that the sensation I lost would return, and desperately swam forward. Thanks to that, I made it to land. The other members were reaching the shore one by one as well.

The blue-haired girl was surprisingly still managing to fight the boss on about equal terms, but that should change soon. We could fight alongside the boss or simply take the other villagers as hostage.

Gugaa!?

Buu!

We who made it to land were suddenly sent back to the water by the other villagers who had weapons in their hands.

Tsk, dont you dare underestimate us!

Sick em!

Our bodies might be sluggish at the moment due to the cold water, but were still veteran bandits,damnit. Having weapons dont make you any less of an amateur. Youre no match for us!

I thought so, but

Gyaa!?

Ugh

What the hell!? These guys are too strong!?

We got beat one by one.

How can this be!? Their movements, theyre of amateurs, arent they!? So how?

What shocked me more though was bosss fight with the blue-haired girl.

Guhthis lass

The boss was bleeding all over his body.

Has all that bleeding made him slow? Noits something else

My bodys gotten heavier? Is this your magics doing!?

Correct. Each time I slashed you, I lowered your bodys temperature a little. Your muscles made it hard for my blades to slash deep enough, but the cold cuts deep all the same, wouldnt you agree?

I think Ive heard about youThe Frozen Blades Princess of the Bazurata family, thats you, right? but then, what the hell are you doing all the way out here?

I have my reasons.

Tsk. Well, youve pushed me like no one else hasand I admit defeat

After his declaration of defeat, the bosss large body fell forward.

The boss has been defeated? Y-youre kidding me, right?

After seeing that, there was just no way our group could muster up any will to fight further.

And so, we surrendered.
