Life in Another World With Narration

43 – Once again, the battle to subdue monsters

Mileia jumped from the cliff with her long sword raised and landed among the monsters.

The battle between the punitive force and the monsters was already in full swing.

With various types of monsters such as goblins, ogres, dire wolves, kobolds, skeleton knights, and mutant slimes crowded together, Mileia slowly walked forward.

What was at the end of her gaze was Behemoth, the largest monster across the street.

It was as big as a house, with long, sharp nails, and skin as hard as a rock. It looked like a combination of a gorilla and a rhinoceros, and was breaking the rocks in the canyon and approaching the melee members who were fighting.

Peeing-!

Milleia swung her long sword through the air around her at an almost invisible speed.

She then walked straight towards the rampaging Behemoth.

To attack Mileia, the monsters surrounding her attacked at once.

But before her attack could reach Milleia’s body, her monster’s body was suddenly cut into two pieces.

She did the same to other monsters that attacked.

Pugh-! Wow!

Milleia just moved forward without swinging her sword, but the monsters that got close to her were cut down without fail.

Milleia’s sword technique cuts the surrounding air in advance, stores the time of the slash using her magic, and then activates it when she wants.

It was an application of the time difference slash that had been shown to Yunoa before.

The amount of magic power contained in Milleia’s sword was beyond imagination.

Even though she only saved her slash by cutting the air once, she was able to activate multiple slashes that could kill a monster in one blow from the same location.

Furthermore, the slash stored in the air like this contained Milleia’s magic power, so she could change its location at will.

She was practically wearing an invisible blade shield, and it was like cutting an enemy with a transparent sword.

Along where Millia walked, the dismembered corpses of monsters cut by her time-lapse slashes were piled up, creating a path with their blood.

The other members of the punitive force who were fighting fiercely around them were also boosted by the appearance of Millia and were pushing away her monsters.

“Kwoaaa”

The monster Behemoth screamed and swept the surrounding area with its huge arms.

Several of the unlucky punitive forces fighting nearby were hit by the Behemoth’s swing and flew away with such force.

This house-sized monster even blew away other small monsters that were its allies without any care.

Milleia raised her long sword, laid it horizontally, and positioned herself as if to stab the Behemoth.

The Behemoth, spotting her, turned her body around and struck the ground with her sharp clawed hands.

Kwaang-!

Behemoth’s heavy blow shattered the surrounding rocks and raised a cloud of dust.

The ground must have shaken a little, as a landslide occurred from the cliff above and chunks of rock came rolling down.

However, Mileia was no longer where the Behemoth hit.

Before she knew it, she was behind the Behemoth.

Her horizontally laid long sword gathered so much blue magic that it could be seen from far away.

The magic wrapped around the sword was rotating around the blade, swirling like a small storm.

The next moment, Milleia plunged her longsword, engulfed in a storm of magic, deep into the Behemoth’s buttocks.

The sharply rotating magic power rips through every part of the Behemoth’s body.

The Behemoth threw back her head and opened her mouth wide, letting out a roar of pain.

Blue magical energy gushed out from the monster’s torn open mouth, as if the soul was escaping.

Boom!

Finally, the Behemoth’s massive body fell to the side along with a dusting of dust.

Other monsters below were also crushed under its body.

Behemoth died as all the organs in his body were torn off by the magical storm.

“Ugh! sh*t!”

There is no end to cutting down monsters.

After sending Milleia to the battlefield, I, along with other members of the subjugation team, was fighting against the monster army.

After deflecting the goblin’s spear flying from the side with my sword, I briefly released sword energy and cut the goblin’s body.

At the same time, a dire wolf rushed from one side, and a kobold’s fire magic flew from the air.

I was completely out of my mind.

It was a fierce battle that could not be compared to when fighting Blue Slime or Arachne.

Furthermore, sometimes there were powerful monsters that my sword did not work against.

When you encounter a monster that you have no immediate way to deal with, the situation quickly becomes unfavorable.

Even in that split second of panic when I realized that my attack didn’t work, the monster’s attack didn’t stop.

Boom!

At a time when they were fighting with no time to breathe, there was a sound so loud that the ground shook along with a cloud of dust.

The huge monster Behemoth that was approaching and sweeping the battlefield was defeated.

“Behemoth has fallen!”

“Wow! Lady Milleia-!”

The subjugation team members began to chase away the monsters with increased momentum, shouting Mileia’s name.

Because there was no one other than Mileia who could deal with Behemoth alone, the punitive force was at a disadvantage as it had not been able to get close to Behemoth and fought only in a limited space until now.

But now that the Behemoth has been defeated, the battlefield has changed as the subjugation team begins to drive out the monsters and form a single formation.

I also joined the formation following the subjugation team and swung my sword at the approaching monsters.

『Yunoa, who was not confident of victory at first due to the overwhelming difference in numbers, was relieved.

The tide of battle was leaning towards the victory of the punitive force. No, it looked like it was leaning.』

At that time, a narration began to speak ominous words in her head.

『Yunoa had forgotten that this large allied force of monsters was under the command of demons.

Now that the battle was unfavorable, the demons commanding the demons were approaching to jump into the battlefield.

The identity of that demon was Bloodstein, a direct subordinate of the Demon King and the so-called Blood Lord.』

“What… what… ….”

Chaeng! Phew!

I parried away the blunt sword of the flying goblin and stuck the sword in its stomach, concentrating on the narration’s words.

Blood Stain.

I think I’ve heard it somewhere…… Ah!

─This is an incident in which a blood lord called Bloodstein, a subordinate of the Demon King, attacked a village called Shinshi, killing over hundreds of people and causing the village to disappear without a trace.

This is the guy who destroyed Mileia’s hometown.

『Bloodstein’s strength, with the face of a horse and carrying the ax of slaughter, was enough to sweep away the punitive force on his own.

If the last bastion of the punitive force in this battlefield was Mileia, the last bastion of the monsters was Bloodstein.

The only one here who could stop him was Mileia.』

I hurriedly left the fighting formation and looked for where Mileia was.

Right now, we are pushing back against the monsters, but as the narration says, if Bloodstain appears on the battlefield, it is clear that the tide will turn again.

But then, the monsters suddenly started retreating backwards.

The subjugation team members break the formation and charge forward in pursuit of the retreating monsters.

I noticed a looming presence behind the retreating monsters.

Huge muscular body, horse face, large axe…….

“Don’t chase after everyone!”

I shouted at the punitive force.

The punitive forces who heard my shouts stopped charging, retreated, and took their positions again.

However, some of the subjugation team members who were overly excited by the heat of battle did not listen to me and continued to chase the monsters.

“Damn.”

The retreating monsters suddenly split into two sides, as if giving way.

Bloodstein walked between them and raised the ax high above his head.

Ominous red magic energy gathered in this guy’s axe.

It looks like something dangerous.

But the next moment, Mileia rushed forward like a flash and caught Bloodstein’s ax hitting the ground with her sword.

Kaang-! Coo-! Clue-!

Two strong men clash their weapons.

At the same time, the blue magic and red magic flowing from both sides collided, creating a strong wind in the surrounding area.

Dust and stone debris flew, and the monsters around were also pushed away in a circle by the force.

The ground that Milleia was standing on began to crumble little by little due to the tremendous force.

The other monsters could not even approach the fight, so they scattered in all directions and then gathered again and began to attack again in the direction of the punitive force.

The situation was divided into a fight between Mileia, Bloodstein, the subjugation team, and the monsters.

I was fortunate that the disaster I was worried about did not occur.

If Millia had not quickly stopped Bloodstain, the sacrifice of the punitive force would have been enormous.

At that time, the battle was nearing its end.

Too-duk, to-duk, to-duk.

Something felt strangely unstable under my feet.

“Uh… “Huh?”

Other members of the subjugation team were also looking at their feet as if they felt something strange.

The monsters also lost their balance and were embarrassed by the shaking of the ground while they were fighting.

Kaang-!

At that time, Bloodstein’s ax struck Mileia’s sword once again.

A loud noise, similar to an explosion, echoed throughout the canyon.

“The land! The ground is collapsing! Damage!”

Someone shouted loudly.

The punitive force scattered in all directions and took refuge in land without cracks.

Too-doo-duk! Rumble!

For some reason, I have a bad feeling.

Like other punitive forces, I wanted to escape to a land that would not collapse.

But the moment I took a step, the ground beneath my feet caved in and my body tilted.

“Damn… ….”

Without any time to react, the ground on which my feet were standing suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

A large hole was created in the ground, like a sinkhole.

Besides, my location is the center of the sinkhole.

“Wow!”

I fell screaming into a black hole with no end, like an abyss.
