Facing the charging beast, the girl raised the giant cedar sword condensed with red light and slashed towards the ground with a tilt.
Eugeo was wondering about this. Unexpectedly, the moment the sword hit the ground and swept across due to its inertia, the red light turned into a shock wave and knocked away the attacking beasts in one go. Although no one died, they all fell into a state where it was difficult to move.
of serious injury.
If Kirito hadn't stopped him, Eugeo might have been affected by the aftermath.
But there were still wild beasts nearby that had not been hit, and at the same time, there were new wild beasts coming at full speed. The girl looked impatient. Seeing that a wild beast had avoided the attack range and rushed from the side, she lifted the tip of her sword directly from the ground and faced it in that direction.
A horizontal chop.
"Pah!" The sword happened to cut into the trunk of a tree and was stuck for a moment.
"You idiot!"
Kirito immediately stepped forward and chopped down the beast with a sword, and shouted: "Miss, your sword skills... are indeed very powerful, but such a large and heavy weapon is not suitable for use in such a forest with so many obstacles.
Fight! Leave it to us next!"
"Ah...hey, what are you guys doing as mere guards...?"
"Eugeo, come on!"
"oh!"
Even if there were swarms of beasts, it would not be difficult for Kirito and his disciple Eugeo, who were accustomed to fighting, to deal with them.
However, after the arrival of powerful monsters, they immediately ran into trouble.
That monster was very powerful. The beasts we encountered before were basically being chased. Kirito's fighting skills were fine, but the weapons of the civilian guards were not very good. In addition, there was still some wear and tear after continuous battles.
Broken.
Why still say "again"?
In the end, everyone worked together. Kirito and Eugeo attracted the attention of the monster, creating an opportunity for the girl with strong and heavy weapons to attack. In the end, the girl chopped off the monster's head with a sword.
"Huh, next..." the girl skillfully ordered the two of them while cleaning the blood on the sword, "The flaxen-haired one, go notify my servants to collect these corpses, and the black-haired one will help me find Alulu.
.By the way, since I am new here, I have to let you know my distinguished name. I am Elvira Arutimias, the niece of the second-class knight Damen Arutimias, "
The eleventh member of the Cat Love Club, and my uncle is the chairman of the Cat Love Club, the man who loves cats the most in the empire... Hey, black-haired guy, what's your expression?"
Compared to Eugeo's iconic look of a commoner looking down on a superior noble, Kirito's look of desperately trying not to complain made Elvira quite unhappy.
Eugeo hurriedly pushed Kirito's head down and said, "I'm very sorry, Kirito, he was once a 'lost man in Vector'."
"Ah, have you lost your memory? There's really nothing you can do about it. Just forgive your rudeness and highlight the kindness and understanding of our family. The "Cat Love Club" brings together all the cat-loving nobles in the empire, and it also has great influence on national decision-making.
The ancient parliament, remember it for me."
"Thank you very much." Kirito had no choice but to lower his head deeply. There were too many flaws and his expression was unbearable. If it exceeded the tolerance limit of the young lady, it might cause trouble.
"Now that you know it, execute my order quickly."
Eugeo was about to explain, but Kirito pouted: "If we are simple civilians and have some trouble, the guards belonging to the empire can indeed be dispatched. With the order of the nobles being higher than the guards as a reason, we should be able to
Not punished?"
"This is true legally, but..."
"Isn't it better to just leave Kate and Alulu alone?"
In the end, they decided to "helplessly" carry out the girl's order.
After a while, Kirito and Elvira first found Kate, who was scratching at the base of a big tree whose trunk was as smooth as oil, raising its head and scratching the bark.
Following Kate's line of sight, she raised her head and saw a big fat cat with brown patterns lying on a forked branch, bending the branches that were not strong and showing signs of breakage.
"Alu! How did you climb there?" Avella hurriedly ran to the tree trunk and tried to climb, but as expected, the trunk was too bare.
Kirito looked at the nearby trees with many twists and turns and branches, held his chin and said: "I was frightened by the wild beast and jumped to a higher place from other trees, and then fell to that branch... But that size is not the same.
Looks like he can climb very high."
"Hey, come here and help me catch Alulu." Seeing that she couldn't climb the tree, Avella picked up her sword, which was like a two-meter-long iron whip, and started to chop at the trunk of the tree.
"Hey, wait a minute, this is too risky. Your Alulu is only half as high as we are from the ground. It should be high enough to stick your sword on the ground as a stepping stone."
"Huh? Do you think I'm an acrobat?"
"Then, I'll-"
"I see, okay, you come."
Kirito was about to "walk on stilts" on Avella's behalf to save the big fat cat. Unexpectedly, Avella stretched out her hand and pressed him on his shoulder, forcing him to squat down, and then stretched out her foot to step on his shoulder.
superior.
"Hold on to my legs, stand up and lift me up. If you dare to touch strange places or look up, I will judge you."
"That's so unreasonable." Kirito complained inwardly.
At the same time, he had to marvel at the strange strength. It was not surprising that he could wield such a giant sword. Perhaps it was also influenced by his arrogance as a second-class knight and superior noble.
"Yeah...move a little to the right...a little forward."
"Yes, yes, my eldest lady."
"Yoxi, yoxi, Alulu... don't move around, yoxi... come into my arms..."
Kirito was just wondering about the difference between Avella's attitude towards the cat and her attitude towards him, when suddenly, he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
He gritted his teeth, veins popped out, and he couldn't help but recall the first time he was injured by a heavy object in this world, and thought to himself: "Wow, how heavy is that big fat cat! There is the Blue Rose Sword... No
, definitely as heavy as two Blue Rose Swords!"
Fortunately, defeating the kobold lord Irfangu and training as a guard have improved his authority and strength a lot. Two blue rose swords and the weight of an ordinary girl can still barely support him. However -
"Okay, let me down. Hey, did you hear me? How dare you ignore me?"
It's not that Kirito doesn't want to lift the weight quickly, it's just that the girl is holding the cat - the center of gravity is too high, and he feels like he will fall down if he makes any move now.
But Elvira couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked off her feet, jumped to the ground with Alulu in her arms, and squatted down steadily. Poor Kirito was cut off more than 100 points of life by this blow.
