Battle in the Wasteland in Front of Barse City's East Gate(Side: Ilsa Harnisch)

The wasteland in front of Barse city's east gate!

The battlefield was mainly changing around two people.

One was a tall man with a wolf mask and body covered in wolf fur,

Wolfman. His right fist was piercing through the head of a giant, twinheaded lizard. Wolfman cast away the corpse of the twin-headed lizard,

which died instantly, without even bothering to check it. Then, he sprinted

forward in a seemingly random yet coordinated movement across a great

distance toward his next prey, a one-eyed giant, and shredded the latter's

head with the sharp claws in his hands till it became nothing more than

minced meat.

The other one was a middle-aged, blue-haired man clad in pure white

armor, the Amelia Kingdom's knight leader Arnold. Arnold was facing a

house-sized ogre that was charging toward him with a war cry and smallscale tremors on the ground. The ogre swung its metal club toward his head.

However, Knight Leader Arnold's great sword, which had already been

dyed red, drew numerous red lines in the air.

The next moment, the metal club that the ogre had swung down was cut to

pieces and fell to the ground; it was followed by the decapitated corpse of

its wielder.

「Amazing!」

I, Ilsa Harsnich (a B-class hunter), watched those spectacles in awe.

Currently, these two men were killing the monsters of the deepest region of

the forest with such ease. Each of those two monsters the two men faced

was an extremely powerful monster that could only be defeated by a

combat team. Yet, both men slaughtered those monsters with ease.

「With those two around, maybe we'll be fine even without that rookie

reinforcement.」

One of my hunter comrades cracked a joke as he walked toward me.

I felt the same. According to that Knight Leader Arnold, Kai Heineman was

even more powerful than him. To be honest, the likes of me couldn't even

see the bottom of the latter's ability since it was too profound.

Anyhow, Wolfman and Arnold were in charge of beating the monsters from

the deepest region of the forest, while the small fries were left to the

hunters, who were in charge of the battle, including me. This tactic was

working much better than our expectations, and we managed to protect

Barse from the monsters.

「DON'T LOSE YOUR FOCUS! Our duty is to buy time till Kai

Heineman arrives! You should take a break if you get exhausted.」

「Yeah, yeah! You're as serious as always, Ilsa.」

My comrade shrugged as he spoke, then ran toward a group of kobolds.

「Well then, I can rest on my lapel too.」

Despite what I said to my comrade, even I couldn't help but feel that we

might get out of this situation as long as we had Knight Leader Arnold and

Wolfman on our side. Yes, even without Kai Heineman's reinforcement.

If only I had taken some time to think again about the reason those

monsters from the deepest region of the forest had suddenly rushed out in a

hurry, I would've realized just how naive my expectations were.

Yes. The true terror came just right when I thought that we had survived.
