Chapter 23: Trust to Other
"The fk?"
Rio puffed out his chest, holding his sword high up like a hero.
From behind, Jerry who had woken up was angry, "What was that, Rio!?"
"That's a quick way to get here. Great right?"
"Yes, I know that's great, but it's dangerous! What if we land when the battle happens!?"
"Calm down, even if you didn't join earlier, I will come alone in the same way, and I have calculated the power I must use."
When Rio and Jerry shrugged, before them stood an enemy who was confused.
"What are they doing?"
Previously interfered with other people's conversation, and now they are making a fuss by themselves.
"Why did you come back here, Shield Head!?"
Bae joins into the fight.
"I was just thrown, and darted here to give you help, and you even scolded me for coming back!?"
Jerry and Bae instead shouted at each other.
Rio is a stranger in the Fairy Tornado Agency, so he is confused by the current situation.
"H-hey, now is not the time for a fight."
"You too, why the fk you come here!?"
"I came as reinforcements."
"Your shit won't help me!"
Bae shouted Rio too.
Rio did not know that Bae's character is that harsh, because of that Rio became emotionally ignited.
"Hey, how do you know that my help won't help you!?"
"Who do you think you are, what shit do you have!?"
"I am the man who will later be called the Scarlet Knight!"
"Before you decide on a name, you should first prove your strength!? And don't use appellation others have used, idiot!"
"What?"
Rio turned his gaze to Jerry, asking for an answer from Bae's last sentence meaning.
"Scarlet "Mordred" Ophelia, Four Star Knight of the Central City."
"Darn it."
Even though Rio had been thinking about the color "Scarlet" since he continued to train the fire element. But because Rio doesn't know about that, someone had already used that color.
Our three knights are busy with their quarrels. They even forgot about one powerful enemy figure still stood before them.
"Hey, isn't this a bit harsh if you guys keep fighting and ignoring me? [Earth Demonly - Art Sorcery: Terra Altera]!"
Sentinel-class lifts Demonic Pickaxe. Then with a small momentum, he hit the ground below. Creating extraordinary phenomena that cannot be trusted.
"Wowowoooooo!"
Within a two hundred meter radius, the ground around was raised in a column like the previous block attack.
The blocks in the column are lifted with varying heights.
Rio, Jerry and Bae stood in their single blocks. Trying to survive the sudden change of ground.
All the knights who saw it, the Headquarters, and especially a Knight who was floating in the sky, were shocked. They didn't think that one Arcdemon had that much power.
Changes in the surrounding land surface have ended. Rio, Jerry, and Bae stand on different blocks with different heights.
"Are you two okay?!"
"What about you, Jerry?!"
The three of them confirmed their respective position. No one is hurt. Only surprise that attacks and changes in footrest changes.
One more thing, the three of them did not see the figure of Sentinel, the mastermind of the changing terrain.
"Rio, did you see where is that Sentinel gone?!"
The three of them immediately turned their heads in all directions. Look for possibilities where the Sentinel is located.
Remember something, Bae opened his voice, "He hasn't gone anywhere."
Rio and Jerry heard Bae clearly, but they didn't understand what he meant.
"He still stands in the same position."
Only the terrain and the three of them changed their position. After seeing all the tall blocks that loomed, and not finding the Sentinel position, Bae's words had a point.
"When the terrain changes, I see him still standing in his position, you fool."
. . .
Rio already understood, but the problem is, "Where was he before?!"
The change in terrain has made them blind to their footing. They were indeed still standing in the same position as before, but the terrain that had turned into a towering cluster of blocks prevented them from establishing the Sentinel position.
Jerry thought hard. He could remember a little where the Sentinel was, but he wasn't too sure. Plus, "Even if we know his position, how will we attack him? It is possible that we are 100 meters below ground level."
Not all of the blocks are as high as 100 meters. Still, to attack a target that is 100 meters underground, it feels very difficult.
If the fighters were the Five Stars, they definitely wouldn't have a problem.
"Why are you hesitating!? I told you that I will finish him!"
"Yes, he already said he would kill that monster, so, if you know where it is, don't hesitate, Jerry!"
Jerry with two colleagues who have very high confidence. He could not continue to hesitate to come forward.
"OK. This might take a little while, but I'll try to track his whereabouts. Rio, I'm counting on you if an attack is coming. "
"Leave it to me!"
After receiving Rio's trust, Jerry began to do something to track down the Sentinel.
Jerry stuck his short sword in his right hand to the ground. Then his empty hand that holds nothing feels the ground. Jerry took a deep breath, felt the energy in the surrounding soil.
Rio was amazed to see what Jerry was doing. At the same time, he was surprised, 'What is he doing?"
Rio thought Jerry would use his Dignity Weapon to track down the Sentinel. But Jerry instead uses his own hands to do it.
When Rio was stunned watching Jerry, Bae felt there was a danger targeting Jerry.
"Hoi! Red Head! An attack will come to Jerry!"
"What!?"
Suddenly shouted at an attack coming, Rio immediately looked around. But there is nothing. Suddenly Rio was confused, what kind of unseen attack would attack Jerry?
"From below, idiot!"
"From under!?"
An attack that will attack Jerry through the block he steps on. Finally Rio understood.
Rio can also feel a danger coming from under them both. Precisely it will lead to Jerry's block position.
A few seconds before the attack came to Jerry.
When Rio's position with Jerry is several meters away, Rio will not have time to save Jerry. That happens if Rio runs, not if Rio uses his Dignity Weapon.
Rio stood with his back directed to Jerry, with the Fire Knight Sword directed to the front, Rio shot with a spell, "[Burnout]!", to save Jerry.
In a few seconds, Rio shot and crashed into Jerry's body. Shortly after, a sharp thorn made of earth came out of Jerry's previous step footing.
Rio manages to save Jerry. Even though they ended up crashing into one high block as payment.
"Are you okay, Jerry?!"
"Damn, just a little more!"
Little more Jerry will manage to track down Sentinel whereabout. But it looks like the Sentinel won't be that easy to let them trace its whereabouts.
Rio and Jerry survived the first attack.
At that moment, Bae felt there were many thorn attacks coming. One of them leads right into his standing point.
Bae immediately jumped up. Shortly afterwards the ground thorn attack slid from below. Destroying his footing block.
In the air, Bae felt that there were many thorny attacks like that that would strike, "There are a lot of attacks coming from below!"
Rio and Jerry immediately noticed all the attacks. Suddenly they jumped to another block.
Bae and Jerry's footing was crushed by a ground thorn. Not quite up there, when Bae and Jerry rests for a few seconds on a block, thorn attacks immediately come to attack them.
"Damn, at this rate we will run out of footing!"
The sharp thorn continued to attack. The footing has begun to run out and destroyed.
If they have no other choice, they have to get out of the area of the block, which means the chance to attack the Sentinel will be small.
From above, Bae still floated in the air. By swinging Emerald Halberd one time down, he can float for five seconds. He used this ability to think of a plan to attack the Sentinel.
Bae who is above only sees Rio and Jerry having a hard time. Rio found that and was upset.
"Hey, you, Windy Boy! Don't just watch us dying!"
Rio and Bae do have the same stubbornness. But the difference is, Bae has more experience fighting directly with Arcdemon.
"You two, listen! I will do something to distract that monster! At that moment, don't move from your position!"
"Ha!?"
Being told to be silent in one position the same as committed suicide. Of course that makes Rio angry. on the other hand, as an agency partner, Jerry has his trust in Bae.
"Rio, let's trust him!"
Rio already considered Jerry as a big brother figure in their family,. When their brother said that, although a little doubtful, Rio would give the same trust to Bae.
