Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 357.1: 《Infinite Variety's》 Strategy ③

It is strange I dont have the ability to measure my opponents strength, but the Marin we fought at the Light Spirit (Korei) Church was clearly not at this level. She had the power to freeze even the souls and stupor those who listened to her without protection, making her truly worthy of the name of the most powerful curse.

However, the wail just now is just a simple scream. As someone who knows the battle that happened in the church, my expectations are far too different. In the first place, didnt Marin at that time use something like a black flame to shield the Black Knight or something? What happened to that?

Upon being attacked, the targets of the Phantoms change. A portion of the arrow is fired at Marin, who is wailing desperately, pierces her petite body. The cursed staff leaves her hand and rolls to my feet.

Maybe distracted by Marin who has been blown away, the Black Knight gets hit by the arrows and is blown away too. He bounces on the ground several times and slams into the root of a large tree. The large tree, which is firmly rooted, shakes violently from the impact. It has such terrifying power that I cant believe it has been caused by an arrow. The attack stops and silence returns.

Tino cries out in fear as our allies are defeated in an instant.

!?? M-maybe That Her grudge has started to fade away? In the first place, when she listens to what a human says, hasnt she already becomes quite human-like!? (Tino)

I-Indeed, that is certainly one way to think about it. (Cry)

A curse is an expression of strong emotions that has been sublimated into a spell. Naturally, as the grudge fades away, the power also weakens. It has completely slipped out of my mind.

I was going to force everything on MarinBut what do I do now?

Marin, who has been blown far away, floats as if gliding through the air and returns. Apparently, even in her weakened state, she still has the invulnerability she showed at the Light Spirit (Korei) Church. The arrow has completely hit the center of her body, but there is no wound on her body.

However, her expression shows fear and bewilderment.

?? Wh-Why?? (Marin)

Marin lets out a hoarse, confused voice. That is what I want to ask Apparently, she didnt even realize that she had lost her powers.

At this rate, the Black Knights power might be fading along too. Maybe it is due to the fault of being swallowed by Shero once, or maybe it is because I treated the cursed items with care, making her regrets disappear. I cant believe that they were so strong when they were enemies, but as soon as they became allies, they became weak.

I wish you had told me about it one hour earlier. To find out about it after being attacked by a Phantom, the timing is too awful. It is because strange accidents always happen, good grief (Shift the blame mode).

It is just the beginning. I am sure Marin will do something about it! (Cry)

!? (Marin)

I dont know what else to do, but I say this like a sore loser. Marin looks at me as if she is startled.

Initially, I had intended to run away immediately if Marins power failed to buy time, but that speed of fireIt is a violent storm of arrows that rivals Lucias offensive Magic. Will I even be able to escape from it? A good archer is said to be able to shoot from over a kilometer away. Their eyesight is probably extraordinary if they are Phantoms from a Level 10 Treasure Shrine. Arrows could be flying from everywhere.

The arrow attacks have stopped. However, the Phantoms have not left yet. The masks are quietly and eerily observing us.

The Black Knight who has been hit staggers back. His armor is crushed and there is a big hole in it, but fortunately, he still seems to be able to move. He raises his sword and moves forward as if to protect Marin, but he is too unreliable in this situation where they are being targeted from all directions.

Master~Theres still Magi on their side. (Tino)

Why do you think they arent attacking? (Cry)

I-I think, theyre, measuring our ability. In order to ensure their win Hunters also wait and see if its their first time fighting a Monster. Or theres a possibility that theyre waiting for their companions (Tino)

I see It is an action specific to Phantoms from a High-level Treasure Shrine I hope they will just keep on watching us like this.

While keeping an eye on the Phantoms figures, I pick up the staff that had fallen at my feet and say this to Tino.

Tino, run inside Mimic-kun. (Cry)

Marin and the Black Knight are strong. No, it seems like they have gotten weaker, but a curse is something that cannot be defeated by ordinary attacks in the first place. Also, I have the insurance called Barrier Rings, but Tino doesnt have it. I dont know what I will do after escaping inside Mimic-kun, but it is probably better than fighting here.

Hearing what I say, Tinos lips curl into a single line and she looks up at me.

Even now she has beautiful black eyes distorted as if she is about to cry. Then Tino says in a shaky voice.

N-NoThis time, Ill fight too!! (Tino)

Eh? (Cry)

I know Im not strong enough. But I cant just be protected by Master~By Master all the time Forever!! Im training in order to fight alongside Master!! (Tino)

By the time she finishes speaking, the tremor in her voice has disappeared. Tino is surely glaring at the Phantoms. What she said is filled with strong determination. Both Marin and the Black Knight seem to be surprised when they look at Tino.

Tino whispers to me as I make a badass smile.

Theres got to be an opening I can take advantage of. I I have to close the distance or I wont be able to do anything. Ill step forward. (Tino)

??? Didnt you see that the Black Knight tried to go forward earlier and was hit by a barrage of fire?

Even if it is someone like me, they cant ignore me if I charge at them. Ill create an opening. Master, please attack them. (Tino)

Can you handle the arrow attack? (Cry)

If the three of us charge in, the attack should be dispersed. Ill dodge it With all my might. (Tino)

It is so reckless that it is funny.

However, that recklessnessThat bravery is definitely something she inherited from my childhood friends. I somehow feel responsible for that. It is okay, you know You dont have to try so hard since we are going to run away. Even if I were to fight, the role I have is not good. My fighting ability is almost zero, so the main attacker has to be someone other than me

I have no choice but to grab my brave Kouhais1 shoulder and step forward.

Tino, bravery is a great aptitude for a Hunter. But dont forget. Our purpose this time. (Cry)

I feel like I said something similar in the White Wolfs Den?

Thanks for reading! Thanks Satria for the ko-fi! Woooh the state of play was awesome! And Zack, mah boi, was even in 2 scenes! So excited to know what is happening with him!
