A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover

und of metal clanking in the crosswind echoed.

Arriving at the ruins, I looked up and let out an sound of admiration.

It was a decaying building illuminated by sunlight.
The period in which it was built seems to be quite ancient, and it had an air of divinity about it.

By the way, there are three periods in the god ’s era.

The blue beginning

The middle yellow stage

And the late white period

The tattered ruins often seen were built between the early to middle yellow periods and are quite ancient.

Although the ancient race is known to have a high level of technology, it is theorized that they still did not have enough technology to create sacred arms during this period.

At the end of the White Period, the technology of the Ancient Species advanced dramatically, and terrifying creations appeared, such as the Temple of the Sacred Arms, whose mechanism was almost impossible to understand.

And the building in front of me was probably built in the early to middle yellow period.

”Obi, take the lead. ”

”Understood. ”

At Itsuki ’s command, Obi opened the door to the ruins.

At the far end was a dimly lit hallway.

Icicles hung from the ceiling, and the floor, which was slightly frozen, was slippery

We each drew our weapons.

”It ’s time for you to come out. ”

”Now is Frau ’s time to shine. ”

Frau comes out of the scarf.
At the same time, Panda, who had been hiding in my cloak, jumped out.

”Do you want Frau to use her ability to blind the basilisk ’s vision? ”

’ ’I don ’t know if it will work, but there ’s no reason not to try.

It will give us an advantage if we manage to divert its gaze.
It ’s just a monster, and its level is no higher than mine.
If we take away that dangerous ability, we should be able to win by a large margin.

We head deeper into the ruins with Obi in the lead.

”Have you found anything? ”

”Not yet, Master. ”

Kaede was searching for the enemy using appraisal as we advanced down the corridor.

From time to time, a part of the wall would collapse and the wind would blow from the opening.

Zuzuzuzuzu

A sound like a heavy object being dragged resounds from somewhere.

Something ’s nearby.

Hsssssssssss

A familiar sound reaches my ears.

”Itsuki, is the basilisk by any chance, a giant snake? ”

”Hm? Didn ’t I tell you? ”

”The basilisk is approaching! ”

A huge snake came through the wall right next to me and struck me.

I was shot into the air, bursting through the wall, causing debris to fall on top of me until I was completely buried.

”Fairy flash!!! ”

”Shaaaa!!! ”

Frau activated her flash and an intense light shone through the gaps in the rubble.

Agh, that snake is really fast.

Even though Kaede detected it in front of me, it attacked me from the side.

I pushed the rubble aside and stood up.

”Shaaaaaaaaa!!! ”

”Grrrr! ” 　 The basilisk and Itsuki faced off against each other.

Even though its vision has been weakened, it can recognize its enemy using its other instincts.

”Master, you ’re okay! ”

”Yes, and I ’m glad you ’re not petrified. ”

”It caught me off guard. ”

”Sorry.
it moved faster than expected and I couldn ’t attack properly. ”

Kaede leaned toward me and apologized.

”We ’ll talk about it later.
Right now, we have to take care of this thing. ”

”Yes! ”

”But what are we going to do? The place is too small and that monster is too big.
I can ’t swing my hammer without the building collapsing.
It ’s hard to attack. ”

”Kyui. ”

Obi throws his knife towards the basilisk ’s mouth.

Itsuki swiftly swings his curved sword, but the enemy uses the hard scales on its head as a shield to repel the blade!

It is very clever.
I hope this basilisk is the only one that inhabits these mountains.

Though if I ’m being honest, I rather like this.
Fighting unknown monsters is one of the nice things about traveling.

”Shaaaaaaa-Ngu! ” 　 I tightly closed the large snake ’s mouth with both hands.

And then I slipped an arm around its neck and squeezed with all my might.

”Impossible… ”

”How can he do that…? ”

Itsuki and Obi are shocked.

I dragged the giant snake outside.

”Sha-shah! Shia! ”

”Don ’t be scared. ”

The snake ’s body was writhing.

Well, I guess we can get rid of it out here.
I have to get this over with before it ’s vision recovers.

I still had my hands around the snake ’s neck and began to press harder.

After a few seconds, the basilisk opened its mouth and fell limply to the ground.

”It ’s defeated! ”

While standing at the entrance, I showed Itsuki the dead snake with a big smile on my face.

”That human is a monster… ”

His face went pale with shock at what his eyes were seeing.
