Chapter 444
After Count Bailleys sorted the force, Fran was among the adventurers led by Eliante.
「Then, we are going too」
「I rely on you, Eliante」
「I know. Then come with me, Black Lightning Princess」
「Nn」
At the command of Eliante, the guild master, all the adventurers rush out at once. The core of the group was Fran, Eliante, and Colbert, but the other 20 were probably all rank D or higher.
On the way, he gives us information about the rank A adventurer who was sent to Marquis Ashtner's residence.
「The one who was sent to Marquis Residence was 『Sword of the West Wind』」 (1)
「Sword of the West Wind? Is that a party?」
「You didn't know? A small, elite party led by a rank A adventurer, 『Zephyrd of the Skywall』」 (2)
When Fran said she didn't know the name, the adventurers around her looked at her with astonishment and dismay. They must be a very famous adventurer party.
The adventurers around us are telling her more details as we go. It seems that Sword of the West Wind is a very powerful party, made up of rank B adventurers except for Zephyrd.
It is said that Zephyrd's individual abilities are inferior to Forrund and Amanda. However, as a party, Zephyrd is the best in the country and is said to be more stable than Forrund and the others who are solo.
「And they are usually famous among people with common sense」
「Nn? What do you mean?」
It didn't make sense at first, but now that it's been explained, I can understand it better. It's hard to say that high-ranking adventurers are sensible people no matter how you look at it. Among them, by having common sense will make them stand out.
「Forrund, Amanda, Eihwaz, and also, Fran. You're not exactly a person with common sense, right?」
「Nn?」
Fran is tilting her head, but I had to nod mine. Well, I'd like to tell Eliante to put her own name in there. I guess it just goes to show that no one really knows who themselves is.
『I'm looking forward to meet them』
(Nn)
Maintaining a fairly high speed while conversing like this, the group arrived at Marquis Ashtner's residence. There was still a fierce battle going on there.
「I can't see Zephyrd and the others around? It's no use. We'll take this place in one fell swoop――」
「Hold on. Leave it to me!」
「Eh? Wa――」
Fran interrupted Eliante's words and accelerated alone.
『The first thing we need to do is disable the pseudo fanatic sword』
「Nn!」
I think I'll imitate from Eihwaz ways here. No, As expected, I can't spread poison magic around like him.
The first thing I did was to try to shoot one magic shot, but it was cancelled just as I intended. After all, they don't just see my magic and cancel it out, but they are constantly activating their magic cancelling power.
『Yosh, we can do this!』
「Nn」
The magic I use was a magic that does not harm our allies when activated. It was healing magic. By putting in an excessive amount of magic power, the range is increased.
As I thought, I couldn't cover all of the vast garden that couldn't be called a garden anymore, but if we used it while moving around, we could cover a lot of ground.
We continued to run around the battlefield at high speed, activating our ranged healing magic. And we make sure that most of the enemies in the vicinity have used up their magic.
There may be a few who are safe, but with our strength, a few of them are not a problem.
『The ones in this garden have already lost their magic!』
「Eliante! You can use your magic and skills now!」
「Eh?」
When Fran used magic to show them in front of the bewildered Eliante, their actions were quick.
At Eliante's command, the adventurers headed towards the enemy at once. Together with the surviving knights, they annihilated the swordsmen who had been parasitized by the pseudo fanatic sword.
However, Fran's expression did not clear up. There was a reason why we were in such a hurry to get rid of the pseudo fanatic sword.
(Master, any presence inside the mansion?
『There is!』
There was a strange presence emanating from inside the house. But Eliante and the others didn't seem to notice it. Fran couldn't sense it either. It must be the same kind of mysterious disgust that only I can sense.
The next moment, however, Eliante and the others changed their complexion. A powerful magic power was emitted from inside the house. It was enough pressure to make Fran change her complexion too. The adventurers and knights seemed to have noticed this as well.
It was right after that.
BOOOOOOOM!
With a tremendous roar, something bursts through the wall of the mansion.
「Guh.....!」
It was a man with scars all over his body. His green hair and masculine face peeked out from between his shattered full face. It wasn't just his helmet. The metal armor he wore had holes in it, as if it had melted in places, and a lot of blood was pouring out.
Seeing the man, Eliante raises her voice.
「Zephyrd!」
How, this half-dead man was a rank A adventurer!
It is true that his abilities are tremendous. He seems to be a warrior who specializes in shields, and has a level 7 shield saint skill (3). In addition to that, he has a wide range of skills that increase his defense, such as barrier and body strengthening.
His attack power is low, but with this man, he can defend against most attacks. A rank A adventurer who specializes in defense is about to die? What the hell was he fighting?
「Gu-guild master....huh...?」
「Greater Heal!」
In a flash, Fran healed him with magic. However, one shot was not enough to make him fully recovered. After that, she used several shots of Greater Heal and managed to recover Zephyrd.
「...That guy is, a monster」
「That guy?」
「Everyone was, killed by him! It's coming!」
Is it frustration, fear, or despair? Zephyrd's face twisted into a scream. There was none of the dignity of a rank A adventurer in his voice.
「It's Marquis Ashtner!」
