Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 150

……The  landscape has changed.”

Werner’s comment was representative of the impression we all had.

　…… This is now a tank.

　The speed at which mages who can use “body enhancement” can march is comparable to that of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The firepower is also significantly higher than that of ordinary bow and spear. It is no wonder that the government wants to train mages, who are more appropriate to be called soldiers than weapons. only a very small number of mages have such high levels of firepower, so most of them are probably not really tanks, but rather armed vehicles,……. And even then, that’s a valuable asset.

In my case, I have tank-class (or even more than tank-class) heavy armor and thermal power, plus high mobility with “flying wings,” so I guess you could say that I am a fighter as hard as a tank. Hmmm, I’m quite extraordinary myself. ……

　As I was thinking about this while looking at the damaged ground, Eleonora came back to life in a weird, zombie-like manner and shouted at me.

‘Aaaaahhhh, I lost!!!!”

　She  was a very tough fellow, even though she had taken such a big damage.

“I’m so , frustrated, frustrated〜〜〜〜!!!””

　Her appearance was like that of a spoiled child. In addition to her small stature and childish appearance, she is a child.

“I won’t lose next time!　You’d better brace yourself!”

　Eleonora declared one-sidedly and returned to the lodgings. I don’t know whether she is a child or a big shot. Well, at least she’s not a little thing, that’s for sure.

“She’s so mobile, ……. Normally, with that much damage, she wouldn’t even be able to stand up. ……”

　Marie looked a bit taken aback as she looked in the direction Eleonora had gone. Even from her perspective, who has lived for two hundred years, her toughness seems to be unusual.

　I shake my head in remembrance of Felix, the kidnapper who had been blessed with a great deal of physical toughness, and reflect that I don’t want to be treated the same way as a criminal.

　Thus, despite some major trouble, the tournament between the trainees came to a successful conclusion with me as the winner.

.:….Hmmm, Eberhard. I’m sure it’s not very nice to end it like this. I will give you a special training session.”

“What?”

　It was to be end … ……. But Marie’s one voice made a new event happen suddenly.

“I’m going to fight Marie?”

“Yes. But it’s not that the I and you are going to shoot spells at each other. We have made a contract with as divine beasts. Let’s have a divine beast battle.”

“Divine Beast Battle!”

　It was just like a Japanese anime in which monsters fight each other. I don’t know if it’s a digital version or a Pocket version, but in any case, as a former Japanese boy, I can’t help but feel very excited about this development. I can’t help but have infinite dreams of becoming a divine beast master.

“Oh, !　It’s overflowing!”

“Hal has gone crazy again. ……”

“I don’t know what makes him crazy. What is Halt responding to?’

“Men are weird creatures.”

‘I agree.”

　Lily and Iris are treating me like a weirdo, as usual, but how can a normal Japanese boy, who spent his childhood in that period when

certain anime and video games were so popular, not be on edge here?　No, I can’ t!

I’m going to summon the divine beasts ……. lIn-chan!　I am choosing you!

　I’ve chosen you or rather , I only have Lin-chan, but that’s a trivial matter.

　The young dragon with silvery white scales, more than one meter long, is summoned from the divine beast realm and manifests in this world, clad in dazzling light. Although Lin-chan, with her sparkling magical phosphorescence, is still a newborn among the long-lived dragons, she already has the air of a majestic champion as a primordial dragon elemental dragon.

　Specifically, she is spinning and leaping around me, wagging her tail. Apparently, he is happy to be summoned. I’m not sure how much I can do to help him. …… Well, the last time I summoned him, I was in the middle of a fight with Nadia, so I couldn’t give much attention to it. It must be fun for Lin to be able to interact with me in this way when I’m not in combat.

　She is very cute, to put it simply.

“White-haired forest rabbit, Peter-kun, come here to accept the contract.”

　Marie clasped her palms together as if to clap her hands, and Peter appeared with a flash of light.

　He is …… as big as ever. Lin-chan is getting quite big, but he is much bigger than that. I think it is a little bit different from a big rabbit, which is about the size of an Indian elephant or a small rhino, and exudes an intimidating sense of crushing us, no matter how cute it may be.

　However, the size of the rabbit is less intimidating when seen from afar, so it is still cute. To be honest, it looks stronger than Rin-chan …….

But then again, it’s a rabbit.

Rabbits are grass-eating animals that specialize in the escape rather than the or flight . No matter how much Marie’s favorite may be, I doubt it is a match for Lin-chan, the natural-born king, the carnivorous divine beast.

“It’s Eberhard. It’s not like you to judge a person by his appearance. Well, that’s how cute Peter is. …… But it would be a mistake to fail to gauge the strength of your opponent.”

“Hmm?”

　Marie smiles wryly and pats Peter . I feel a bad feeling in that seemingly calm scene.

The current advice is one thing, but it’s that Marie. Something is definitely going on.

“You guys, stay far away from here.”

Marie told the other trainees, and she herself kept a certain distance from Peter.

Lin, get ready for battle. Peter will do whatever he can to you.:

“Pssst!”

Lin-chan responds with an enormous outpouring of magical power from inside her body, as if she were a divine beast. Although she is smaller in stature than her opponent, she is still very dependable.

‘Peter!　Sacred Liberation!”

………………

　Liberation. …… is a remarkably worrisome …… name for a skill that makes me feel …… uneasy. The theory is that monsters that look quiet like this usually turn horribly vicious when they show their true nature.

　Peter’s movement stops. However, the magical power in his body was rapidly increasing. At the same time, Peter’s fluffy fur turns reddish-black and hard.

　.. This is not good!　My intuition is telling me something is wrong!

” Lin-chan!　 preemptive strike. Blow him up, Peter!:

“Pssst!　Pyuuuuuhhhhhh!”:

I have no obligation to wait for my opponent to finish transforming. I am not an evil enemy leader fighting a transformed hero.

　The instant ray of destruction released by Lin-chan strikes Peter. Even though it was an instant hit, its destructive power was outstanding. The actuality of the fact that the actual destruction rays are not only a good thing, but also a great deal of damage to the body.

I was thinking that the fact that I even thought of such a flag means that it probably didn’t work, and as the smoke cleared, I saw Peter’s new appearance for the first time, which, as expected, clearly ignored the law of conservation of mass.

　Muscles like heavy machinery, heaped up to a muscular size. His soft fur is replaced by metallic scales that shine as dull as steel. Horns so huge that they could easily pierce an elephant, let alone a human being. And the eyes, shining with murderous intent, which are so bright that it is hard to believe that they are the same as the eyes that were dull, gentle, and cute until a moment ago.

In summary, it is the appearance of a legendary demon that should be described as an aggregate of murderous intent.

“…. Are you kidding me, ……?”

　I hear one of the trainees muttering something .

　Rikuoh.

:Behemoth………………!:

　—-The dragon of the great mountain range. The Behemoth of the Demon Forest. Cerberus of the Great Labyrinth.

The legendary beast that has lived since ancient times in the land known as the three most difficult locations in the Empire, where even a party of S rank adventurers must risk their lives to challenge it.

“The dragon and the behemoth are both in the same boat,”

　Thus, a battle broke out between dragons and behemoths, two legendary magical beasts. I had never dreamed that I would be on one side of the battle, let alone have the chance to see such a thing even if I were born again ten times, let alone in my entire life.

“.　How do you like it?　Peter, the second form!　Eberhard’s Lindwurm, the primordial dragon, is quite good, but my Peter, the land king, is no match for it!’

　Marie, who is always somewhat excited, is shouting in an unusually high tension. She must be very happy to show off her pet.

“GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Peter, who had no vocal organs when he was a bunny, is now roaring with such a wild roar. His white fur has now turned into scales stained a dusky black red.

“How i can …… attack something like this?

“Pyuyi ……”

The Jabberwock is a crazy beast that stands in front of me, even the Jabberwock looks cute, and Lin and I look at each other and are troubled.
