Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru

I thrust the Velnoir into the snow and rested my hands on the pommel and waited. Snow started gather on top of my hood, but I was able to use the magic within my body to control it, and brush it off. Like this, I waited for the arrival of the mysterious goblin. Adlus and I thought it was an abnormally evolved being. But we werent sure yet. We had to meet it and fight it. All of the abnormally evolved beings I had met up until now were capable of speech. How would it be this time?

Asagi. Soon.

Yeah.

Alright. Everyone, move into position.

Adlus said as he and Daniela moved away. Manager moved behind me.

The cold wind blew the wind dragon materials that made up my clothes. But no matter how cold it was when it hit me, I didnt move an inch. I glared up ahead. It was now within range of Presence Detection.

Then all of a sudden, the wind stopped. The stillness was so abrupt and unnatural. The howling of the wind was gone, and only silence remained in my ears.

As for the snow, it turned into water once it reached a certain distance from the ground, then it bounced away as if there was an invisible roof over my head.

I caught myself staring up at this strange phenomenon. And when I returned my gaze forward, I could see the dark red goblin standing in the snow. The goblin I had seen with Eyes of the God Wolf was now looking towards us with that bloody greatsword on its shoulder.

What are you?

You killed those other goblins.

Did you lead this stampede?

It stared at me. Still. Silent. Maybe it didnt understand what I was saying. Or was it thinking?

I

!?

The queensknight.

A chill ran down my spine. It talked. It understood me and reacted. There was no doubt about it now.

This was an abnormally evolved being.

I am apparently calledthe Queens Knight Goblin

Your name?

Title. I haveno name.

I see.

A rather clumsy conversation. Hearing, knowing And what did I think, now? Well, it didnt matter.

Hahahahahaha!

Aha-ha-hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Ahahahahahahahaha!!! Haa

It roared with laughter in the most chilling way.

I cant. No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no. I just cant talk like a knight!

What?

I mean, Queens Knight Goblin? Wouldnt that make you want to talk like a knight? Isnt it cool?

I understood that this thing was cruel by nature. And so that contemplative way of talking had seemed a little odd to me. However, this was no less confusing. It was like looking down a bottomless pit. There was now an overwhelming tension in the air, and I couldnt help but wrap my fingers around the hilt of my sword.

I meanlets just skip all this boring talk already. I want to kill something. My story. Your story. Who cares about any of that stuff. Lets kill!

Right. Who needs a reason? Youre a dangerous monster. And so Ill kill you.

Yeeesss! Haha! This is going to be good!

That being said, I did want information. But there was no time for that now. The goblin rushed forward and raised its greatsword with one arm and swung downward. I ducked under his arm and moved to the side and raised my sword.

Haha!

!

The goblin laughed. However, its sword cut into the air, while mine tore into its ribs. Blood sprayed.

Agghhh! That hurts!!

Gg!

Still, the attack did nothing to slow him, and he threw his empty left fist at me. I tried to bring up an ice shield to block it, but it shattered like thin glass. And then the fist launched me painfully into the air. The last thing I wanted to do was lose my sword, and so I gripped it tightly. Thanks to that, it gouged out a chunk of flesh as it came free of the goblin. More blood sprayed over the snow. Then I used Legs of the God Wolf to slide behind to the goblins back, and thrust my sword into it again.

Ahhhhh!

However, it swung upward with a flurry of snow in my direction. And so I had to jam on the brakes. It was strong. I did not want to get hit by any of its attacks. I wanted this to be a one-sided fight as I looked for my chance to deal a lethal blow. Unfortunately, I was interrupted. Well, I would have likely been cut in half if I hadnt stopped. That was no exaggeration, dragon armor or not.

Hah Thats not very fair.

It was a gift.

Give it to me.

No way.

I gathered ice magic into my hand and swung. A line of ice arrows appeared in the air. All six of them fired. The Queens Knight did not dodge them. They pierced into his right shoulder and stomach, but he didnt flinch.

Look here. Why dont we stop with these boring tricks?

Its quite lame, you know?

I tried to think. I activated Jack of all Trades, Master of None and made some calculations.

You know. It should be a clash ofraw power!!

!?

The goblin suddenly dashed forward and then jumped. As I was in the air, it normally wouldnt have been able to reach me. But it didnt just jump, it used its momentum to swing its sword as it did a full rotation in the air. And so its sword was able to reach me. I turned Jack of all Trades, Master of None off and blocked the attack. However, the goblin seemed to have expected this and quickly unleashed a kick. This too, I blocked with my leg.

Youre not bad!

I immediately used Legs of the God Wolf to move away and then land on the snow before he could do a follow-up attack.

Manager. I think Im going to need some help here.

It does seem pretty strong

She said as she slithered out of the shadow I cast on the snow. She carried six shadow blades between her fingers. She wasnt holding back.

Ohh? How amusing. And where did you come from?

The goblin addressed her casually, but Manager didnt respond. She wasnt even smiling under her face mask. Unlike during the tournament, that was all that was covering her face now. Apparently, it helped her concentrate.

Ill follow your lead.

Understood.

Heeey! Dont ignore me!

I ran. Manager tailed me as if hiding. The goblin was enraged at being ignored, and it raised its greatsword. Then it slammed the weapon on the ground, causing a cloud of snow to erupt and a volley of wind blades to shoot out. In order to dodge them, I thrust out my empty left hand for Manager to grab. She had to dismiss her shadow blades for this, but it was the best way to escape.

And with Legs of the God Wolf, I shot around him like a racer turning a corner, and we slid into position behind the goblin. Manager let go of me then and melted into the shadows. Even I couldnt detect her. And so I was doubtful that the abnormally evolved being could. It was still a monster.

Where did you go!

To keep it distracted, I attacked it from the opposite side with my sword. With Presence Detection and Eyes of the God Wolf activated, it wouldnt matter how much powdered snow was in the air. I would hit my target.

AAAGGGHH!

It must have been caught off guard too, because Velnoir went right into its left shoulder. This was not a shallow wound. However, it somehow did little to slow it down. I would have to just continue my hit and run tactic. But I couldnt allow it to become a defensive battle. I would die for sure if that happened. I just needed to get in an attack and then let Manager follow

Huh!?

Hahaaha!!

I felt a chill and immediately moved into a defensive stance. The sound of metal against metal rang in the air. The force of the attack threw me into the air, and I broke through Danielas wind barrier.

Arghh!

Without being able to regain my balance, my body slammed against the snow in the raging blizzard. Thankfully, the snow acted as a cushion, and my hands didnt suffer from the impact after landing on them.

Damn it!!

Still, I managed to get up and grab my sword. But my fingers felt limp. What the hell was happening It always attacked right after I hit it. It was as if it wasnt really feeling the pain

Maybe

What if it really didnt? What if it didnt feel any pain and just reacted to the sensations?

That would be too dangerous

It could react perfectly to every attack. There was little point in taking it by surprise then. With those reflexes and power, even Managers attacks

Shit!!

I used Legs of the God Wolf to rush back into the barrier. If Manager sensed I was in danger and tried to attack

Manager!

The cloud of powdered snow dissipated within the barrier as the goblin turned to look at me. I also saw that Managers torso had emerged from the shadows, and she was about to attack.

No!

She heard me and her arm froze in mid-swing. No, dont stop. Hide!

There you are.

Ah!

Without even turning around, the goblin kicked backward. Its foot slammed into Manager and launched her into the air. She was pulled out of the shadow and went flying.

Her body moved in the air in an arch and landed outside of the barrier. She didnt move.

Ah

Huh. How weak.

The goblin made a point to turn and look at me and say this after seeing her sink into the snow.

For a second, all I could see was red.

Bastard!

How scary!!

Powdery snow swirled around me as I gathered the wind and then let it explode all at once. I raised my speed and rushed straight past the goblin in a second. Then I picked up Manager moved away from the barrier.

Hah? Arent you going to avenge her?

Daniela! Adlus! Forget the barrier! Take her and retreat!

I knew what it was like to lose yourself in anger. It was easy to forget about everything around you. But I wasnt going to let that happen here. Unsurprisingly, they were quick to react. The barrier went down the moment I raised my voice, and they quickly ran to me.

Rindo!

Hmm. She is only unconscious.

Adlus called her name while Daniela inspected her with the appraisal glasses that she must have taken out from her hollow bracelet. So, she was alive.

Daniela touched the glasses which were now covered in snow, and without removing them, stored them back into the bracelet.

The blizzard was as strong as ever, and I felt that the Queens Knight Goblin was approaching us as I told them to retreat.

What about you?

Ill be fine. No, I have to be alone. I think he has some kind of skill that shuts out any pain. It allows him to strike back immediately after every hit. So you have to attack him very quickly. I have to be alone for that. It wont matter if someone else is there.

You may say that, but can you really take him down?

Yes.

I had a way to attack that was faster than the goblins reflexes. There were demerits to using it, but this was not the time to worry about such things. The goblin was right over there.

Just leave now. Ill be back in the village before dawn.

Very well. If you dont return, we will not be able to wait for you.

Thats fine. Now go!

Adlus took Manager. I looked at Daniela and nodded. She understood me well. I knew I could depend on her. It was for her and Manager that I would kill the goblin. She created a barrier around them as they returned to the village. I watched them go before putting my hand back on my sword.

You erased the blizzard and used that woman for ambushes just to try and kill me. And now they are gone.

Well, that was Adluss plan. But it wasnt enough. Its a simple fact.

I appreciate the compliment! Hmm? And you still think you can beat me?

Yeah I guess I do.

You guess?

The goblin was still bleeding as he looked into my face. It was one against one. Or not. I didnt see myself as alone. Adlus, Daniela and Managers hopes were with me.

Now, I am going to kill you. And after that, Ill kill your queen.

Eh?

There is one, isnt there? A queen goblin.

Thats why he was the Queens Knight, right? The fact that he was suddenly tight-lipped again seemed to be evidence enough.

I see. Yes. Well, I have all the more reason to kill you now.

Come and try, you monster.

Good. I will do just that. Playtime is over!

It was a battlefield where you couldnt see more than two meters ahead of you. And so the deadly duel began.
