God's Blessings On This Grade 9 Fixer (KonoSuba x Library of Ruina)

Chapter 4

Part 1

Damn it! He's strong, but it's way too reckless to challenge a General alone!

"Roland! Get away, I have a plan!"

I tried my best to reach out to him, but between our distance and the horde of undead behind us, it fell on deaf ears.

"Kazuma! Kazuma, all the undead knights in town are chasing us! They're chasing me! Wahhh!"

I was going to lead the horde to Beldia, but I can't let Roland get caught in the crossfire! Please hold yourself back, Megumin!

With his head high up in the sky, Beldia drew his sword and Roland put on his gloves. I hope they're as useful as he told me!

"They're catching up! Kazuma-san, they're catching up! Save me!"

"I know, just keep following me!"

While we lured the chasing corpses, the Dullahan raised his sword and prepared to decapitate Roland.

He isn't even dodging! Was Beldia too fast?!

"... Huh?"

Something struck Beldia in the chest and he flinched. His attack was stopped in its tracks and he jumped back.

What the hell?

"A shotgun!?"

Where did he get that?!

While Beldia retreated, Roland brought out a claw and rushed him. Three sizable scratch marks spread down the General's chestpiece.

And then he pulled out a dagger. From behind, Roland attempted to stab at his joints. Beldia sidestepped away in time and only received minor grazes.

At the same time, he prepared his own attack.

To counter this, two shortswords. One deflected the massive sword coming his way and the other slashed at his wrists.

And then a hammer. There was no clang or ring, but the impact was true as Beldia stumbled backwards from the strike to his knees.

And then a mace and axe. The Dullahan evaded their wrath and thrusted his sword at Roland's chest, who twisted his body in time to avoid getting pierced. I could definitely see cloth flying, though. He, or at least his clothes, were still hit.

He had a wide arsenal. He had the skills to go toe-to-toe against what should be the final boss of a dungeon.

But what I want to know is,

Where is he getting these from?! His ass?! Can he just summon any weapon at all?

I can ask him later. Right now, he's forcing his much bigger foe to focus entirely on him, sometimes even forcing him to go on the defensive.

We don't have to worry about Roland losing or Beldia massacring the town for now.

With that knowledge, I screamed:

"We're far enough! Megumin, do it now!"

Under my command, Megumin took off her eyepatch, raising her staff with her eyes shining.

"What a wonderful situation! I'm truly grateful, thank you Kazuma!"

Magic circles formed near her staff and above the center of the horde.

"I am Megumin! The elite mage of the Crimson Demons, wielder of explosion magic! Demon King's General, Beldia! Behold my power!"

Her staff glowed bright and the half-dozen magic circles glowed.
