The two days travel was covered within 6 hours. It was just a little past noon when we arrived at the border of the village.

However, my premonition proved true.

The border was basically in tatters. There’s many corpses of monsters around with still fresh looking pool of blood. Of course, it was not a one sided slaughter…

“… No… Way…”

Nina muttered, face pale, as we quickly passed through the border. I felt like I ate a bitter bug as we passed by the several bodies lying on the ground. Some were even familiar faces.

Mary, who was the most compassionate amongst us, slowly turned teary eyed. Blaire, who was most of the time acting indifferent looks crestfallen. It was easy to imagine what was going on within their minds now.

The carriage didn’t slow down. I can’t afford to slow down. Even when we saw several bodies of acquaintances, we proceeded forward. Mary was now bawling while Nina was unconsciously leaking large amounts of mana. Blaire was looking at the two with a worried expression.

After about 1 more hour, the village entered our view. At the same time, the shouts of fighters and the clangs of metal swords and shields was heard.

“…! I’ll go!!!”

None of us stopped Nina after she jumped out of the carriage. There’s no way we can stop her. Before she landed, her gloves turned to the activated form. The gigantic white gauntlets.

Mary used the sleeve of her dress to wipe her tears dry and shortly followed. A faint blue barrier appeared before she landed.

“… Blaire, I’m counting on you for the two…”

I can’t stop now but I’m worried about the two girls. So, in this case, I just need to rely on Blaire. Her expression turned firm and then she nodded. She then jumped lightly from the carriage.

Soon, I could hear some explosions and sounds of Nina’s shouts. I hope they don’t push their bodies too hard.

I quickly maneuvered and avoided the large trees and rocks as I took a shortcut. Then, in a few minutes, I finally reached the plaza. There, almost all the villagers were staying while pushing back the demons.

I immediately stopped the carriage and jumped down. I then dashed quickly towards the swarm of demons. It was my first time fighting more than a dozen at once but I don’t have a choice.

Kicking the ground with my powered up boots, I appeared almost instantly beside the nearest demon.

It was the same demon as the last time we were near the border. The gorilla-like vicious demons.

“Haaaah!!!”

With a shout, I let out a short kick. But this was enough to send the over two meter demon flying in two different directions. Its body was split in half from where my kick landed.

The two remains flew towards two different demons. This made them lose their composure which was a big NO during a fight.

I sprinted towards the nearer one and did an axe kick at the same moment that the remains of the previous demon hit. This made the demon smashed into a pulp.

Without time to mull over what I did, I quickly turned to the other demon and let out a spinning kick. I aimed the kick on its head and made it fly towards another demon. The flying head punched a hole on another demon’s body.

Then, I jumped towards the middle of a particularly dense pack of monsters. I landed with my hands and did a tornado kick. The surrounding monsters immediately turned into an unrecognizable mush.
