Countless flashes of the seven prismatic colors were fired toward the Issenman Buffalo herd. That blow passed through dozens of Issenman Buffalos and blew them away, creating a fissure in the center of the herd. Furthermore, with an appearance like it was crawling across the ground, purple lightning rushed towards that fissure.
(That's flashy. Good grief.)
And inside that lightning, Naoki sighed. The『Sevens Ray: Overkill』from Kazane's summoned God Dragon Emperor Naga was a powerful technique that could only be fired once after 10 days, but it seemed Kazane wasn't willing to be stingy here. Kazane was simply focused on breaking through this point as she looked at the herd in front of her.
As for the herd of Issenman Buffalo attacking them, they were actually a group that gathered together because they were drawn to the light and thunderous roar caused by the Thunder Chariot.
Whenever they discovered something moving on this plateau, they had a habit of gathering together and chasing after it. And if they learned that the sound and light were from a human vehicle, they would simultaneously charge and try to kill it. As was natural for a monster.
However, they had suddenly received enormous intimidation as a preemptive strike. The Issenman Buffalos sensed that something terrifying was ahead. Fear passed through them, and their steps slowed. But they didn't stop.
Ordinary monsters probably would have sensed the danger to themselves at that point and ran away, but the Issenman Buffalos didn't stop running.
Even if their decision sometimes led to being nearly annihilated, by kamikaze attacking powerful enemies with the entire herd, the Issenman Buffalos occasionally defeated even dragons. Therefore, this time was no exception, and they continued to charge.
They didn't think about the consequences. With inflamed eyes, they risked their lives to collide. And the entirety of their bodies were dyed bright red. That phenomenon was caused by the Skill『Red Body Transformation』.
(Ahーanother redundant Skill)
Kazane frowned at that situation. That was because she realized that the Issenman Buffalos' Skill was the『Red Body Transformation』she had acquired in the previous battle.
『Red Body Transformation』was a relatively popular Skill that could be acquired by not only monsters, but martial Occupations as well. Although, while that may be true, not fighting wasn't an option. The only thing they could do was rout them as they advanced.
「Tatsuo, defeat the monsters that approach from the right side with Mega Beam. Yuuko-nee, handle the left side with the Skill『Spider Web』. Both of you, aim for their legs.」
『Understood』「Unyaa.」
Tatsuo and Yuuko-nee replied to Kazane's instructions. It was that degree of kamikaze attack. Simply entangling their legs would have a huge impact on the ones following behind. After Kazane gave those instructions, Naoki in the coachman's seat asked her a question.
「Then what will Aneki do?」
It was a reasonable question, but Kazane readily answered.
「I'll suitably tidy them up.」
Then Kazane's angel wings spread, and she took off. There was no hesitation in her actions.
「Hey, don't be rash!... Hah, Aneki won't stop anymore.」
Naoki felt that she was overdoing it. The contact from Yumika was carefree, but at the present point, the life and death of Tiara and the others was still unclear. Naoki was also impatient.
(We have to catch up quickly)
So thinking, Naoki accelerated Hippomaru-kun even further. Thinking that supporting his older sister when she acted rash was his duty, he glared at the enemies before him.
「Well, it's your misfortune to meet us here, so resign yourselves. I don't feel anything like sympathy for monsters, though.」
Then purple lightning collided with the herd of Issenman Buffalo. Naoki screamed as he grasped the reins with one hand and wove his way through the Issenman Buffalo herd. Head-on collisions were dangerous, but with such a large number, they were inevitable. If they seemed like they would stick to the carriage, Naoki cut them to pieces to put them out of the way. Tatsuo and Yuuko-nee's leg-aimed attacks were effective as well. The power of Tatsuo's Mega Beams cut through the legs of the cattle, and Yuuko-nee repeatedly cat-punched with her forelegs while meowing as she fired『Spider Web』to make the cattle fall down.
And as their legs were either sliced or entangled, the Issenman Buffalos fell over; the ones following behind crashed into them one after another, creating hills of cattle. The forceful Issenman Buffalos eventually broke through those and rushed out, but the Thunder Chariot had already advanced far ahead by that time.
And when Kazane discovered opponents that Naoki, Tatsuo, and Yuuko-nee's support couldn't completely deal with, she used the Skill『Spider Web』to entangle legs and repulsed charging cattle with Material Shield.
Several black-haired cattle also rushed towards her. They were delicious guys designated kuroge wagyu class, but while wiping away tears, Kazane defeated them. The Skill Window opened;『Ingredient Connoisseur』was blinking. As if weeping about the meat being left behind.
However, Kazane ignored it. While flying in the air, she charged with Boost, hooked one with her tonfa and made it fall over, released a kick, repelled two that charged towards her at the same time with Material Shield, then repeatedly kicked the heads of the cattle lined up in a row. Then, due to the effect of her『Kick Devil』Skill, both legs were dyed bright red, and when she reached the 10th combo, she skimmed just above the ground and horizontally fired『Kick Decapitation Wave』at the legs of the Issenman Buffalo. The legs of more than a dozen Issenman Buffalos were sliced, and they collapsed on the spot. Summed up in one word, that spectacle was stunning.
「Alright, we've passed through the herd!」
Naoki shouted. It seemed that『Crawling Lightning』, which had been cutting diagonally through the Issenman Buffalos, had finally finished traversing the herd.
「Ok, let's retreat!」
By using Boost and Air Jump repeatedly, Kazane returned, and in accordance with her words, Naoki and the others ran away from the scene without pausing.
Several Issenman Buffalos tried to make U-turns and chase, but they collided with the Issenman Buffalos following behind, which disturbed the line and made it impossible for them to chase.
In the meanwhile, the figures of Kazane and the others were disappearing from the field of view of the Issenman Buffalos. But it seemed that didn't mean the entire flock had given up the chase.
「Did we lose them?」
「No, it doesn't look like it.」
While looking back, Kazane replied to Naoki's words. Ahead of her gaze was the figure of a buffalo raising a cloud of dust as it headed toward them.
Approaching them from behind with fierce momentum was a single huge buffalo... no, there were two Issenman Buffalos charging towards them, with one riding on the other's back. One super-heavyweight class Issenman Buffalo was being ridden by another Issenman Buffalo. In other words, it was a Nissenman Buffalo. As far as she could see, it looked like its speed and power had doubled.
「Eh? Why does riding a partner's back make them faster?」
Naoki was confused. That was natural. However, right now, in this place, common sense was completely meaningless.
