Volume 11, Chapter 2: Trying Out Going to the Newly Developed Southern Territory - Part 8

They got lost.

The Kobolds’ burrow was much more complex than they had thought, and it diverged the deeper in they went.

It would have been better if they were guided by Feneri.

Rem pointed.

「……There are voices, coming from over here.」

After peeking in that direction, the Kobolds were certainly gathering there. There were about 200 of them.

It was a huge hollow.

However, Diablo’s group was at a part of it where they were looking down at them from a second floor part.

「Ah, Feneri-chan.」

Shera pointed.

At the front of the wide room──on a platform, her figure was there.

In addition to her, there were several young female Kobolds.

Rem narrowed her eyes.

「……Doesn’t it seem like, there’s a questionable atmosphere?」

Borbos stood in front of those girls, and gave the Kobold men a speech.

『We’ll win!』

The Kobold men thrust their fists up.

『Ou!』

『We’ll absolutely win!』

『Ou!』

『In order to win, we, are here!』

『Ou!』

『Show your spirit!』

『Ou!』

『You’re too quiet!』

『UOU!』

──Rather than a speech, it’s more like shouts of encouragement.

It didn’t look like trying to rationalize with them would be welcomed.

Like this, even if he were to explain the loss and gains of the situation, it didn’t seem like he could get them to agree.

When he was mediating between the Elves and the Dark Elves in the Greenwood Kingdom, he was able to persuade them with reasoning.

The Elves were intellectual.

The Kobolds, they were excited before a battle, and were overflowing with an even more wild animal style.

After several more war cries, Borbos spoke.

『Starting now, we will perform the pre-battle ceremony.』

『Uoooh!』

『There will surely be those who will die in battle. But, your souls will dwell in the children.』

──Nnn?

Diablo leaned forward.

For some reason, he said something fishy?

Borbos hit Feneri’s butt with a *pishan*.

『Hyan.』

『That’s a nice sheen! That’s a butt that’ll give birth to a strong and healthy warrior!』

The Kobold men raised war cries.

『Even if we die, our souls will eternally──』

While shouting, Borbos placed a hand on her clothing. After pulling down, they came off quite easily.

Feneri was put in an appearance where her clothes were wide open in front of the men.

『Nnhaa～』

The fact that it wasn’t an accident could be inferred from the responses from her and those around her.

It seemed that it was this kind of ceremony.

Although she was red in the face, Feneri had a look of consent, and didn’t even try to hide her body.

Borbos loosened his loincloth.

『First off, I will pour in my soul.』

『……Un.』

With a tranced expression, Feneri focused her gaze onto one spot.

Watching that from the second floor part──

Rem and Shera were red in the face.

「……Wha!?」

「What are they doing!?」

For the two of them who were unable to understand the Kobolds’ words, they probably couldn’t understand what was going on at all.

Even Diablo who had heard the speech could barely understand.

「It seems to be this sort of ceremony though.」

「……Impossible!」

「That’s no good!」

The girls’ opinions were justified.

However, that was under the sense of values that the Races had.

Denying the Kobolds’ culture couldn’t be said to be the right thing to do.

──Ah, no no, this was a ceremony meant to raise their fighting spirit, wasn’t it. If we’re going to stop the war, we need to do it before the ceremony happens.

Diablo jumped down from the second floor part.

「You all should wait!」

*Kapah* Feneri opened up both of her legs.

Being able to see it all in the open, Diablo felt like he would fall down.

──Tha, that was close!

To jump down and then suddenly slip up would be really lame.

Borbos glared at him.

『You are……』

「Hmph……I’ll be butting in.」

『If you wish to watch, do as you like. Having an even greater number of people watching will surely get Feneri excited as well.』

──Seriously!? Ah, no……

「I said “wait”, you know?」

『Guest, this is, an important ceremony for us Warriors.』

「You all are mistaken! Since it looks like you will die in battle, you should leave behind children, you say? Damned fools. You all should feel ashamed for being so incompetent that you could only come up with such a foolish strategy!」

”Grrr……*, Borbos growled.

『Did you just say I was a fool!?』

So, as he expected, he couldn’t be persuaded with reasoning.

Diablo took out his Magic Staff, the 《Tonnerre Empereur》.

「I heard this from Feneri but, it seems that you all make it so that “the one who is the strongest is the most important”, right? In that case, if I win──」

『So you challenge me!』

As he thought, there was no reasoning with him.

At the same time he emitted his bloodlust, Borbos sprang at him.

──Fast!?

An attack from his forefoot──no, an attack with is fist.

If he hadn’t received Master Swordsman Sasala’s guidance, he might have had his head taken without even noticing that he was attacked.

Diablo caught the blow with his Magic Staff right before it made contact.

Even so, he was blown five steps backwards.

──On top of being fast, it was heavy.

In terms of ability types, he was close to being a Pantherian Fistfighter. He was fast and had power.

If it was in a distance where his hands could reach, he was the strongest.

However, right now, the distance had opened up.

Since it would be bad if the underground hollow were to collapse, and since Feneri and the other Kobolds were also here, he couldn’t use attacks with a wide range.

「How about this! 《Lightning Bullet》!!」

『HA!』

Borbos jumped.

Avoiding the magic, his fist came attacking Diablo just like that.

──Is this a fighting game!?

Jump, heavy punch.

From there, a consecutive attack combo of Punch→Heavy Punch→Killer Technique all starting from a standing position was fired.

Borbos’s killer technique was where his SP was made into a bullet of light and came flying at him. It was a 《Shining Blow》.

It was the same as the one that the Head of the Holy Knights Baduta had used in the past.

So he was a Fistfighter that was over level 100.

As expected, it was no wonder he was the patriarch of a group that fought against the Lifelia Kingdom with just a few number of people.

The Kobolds that appeared in the game, they were just small fry with low ability values that used weapons and whose large numbers were the only troublesome thing about them.

So Borbos was special.

Were the rest of them about the same?

──No, there’s no way they would be.

If even half of the two hundred here at this place were over level 100, they wouldn’t need the Spriggan. They would win even if the Lifelia Kingdom’s army had tens of thousands of people.

『To think that you would survive my attack, guest!』

「Don’t say that you didn’t get serious after this, got it!?」

For the current Diablo, he had surpassed level 100 even as a Warrior. He was being overwhelmed in terms of speed, but the difference wasn’t to the point that he couldn’t defend against it.

『I always go at full strength!』

「Is that so. Sorry about that. I was just checking if you were “an opponent that would be fine if I went at full power”.」

『NU!?』

Diablo fired his magic.

「Can you avoid this one!? 《Burst Rain》!!」

A shining magic formation spread out in the air. From there, countless fireballs were fired.

It was slow for its effect to activate but……

It wasn’t something that could be evaded so easily.

『Nugagaga!?』

The Kobold men who were watching the fight made a stir and backed off.

Even the women raised screams.

He had sufficiently calculated the angle so that no one else would get dragged in but……

『Feneri!』

Borbos shouted.

As he had his attention taken for an instant, a fireball made a direct hit on him.

Going to where he had fallen, Diablo changed to the Magic Sword 《Tonnerre Empereur・Libéré》, and thrust tip of the blade into the ground.

「You have quite the speed, but you cannot win with just that.」

『Gugugu……It’s my, loss.』

How sportsmanlike.

Diablo checked on the Kobold women.

──They’re not injured, right?

He should have properly taken them out of the magic’s effect range but he was still worried.

Feneri had frozen up with her legs still opened up.

Her hands, extended to her important place.

She had teary eyes.

『U, um……me……what to do?』

「Hurry up and wear your clothes!」

Rem and Shera, who came down from the second floor part of the room, placed a blanket over Feneri.
