Hakai No Miko Chapter 119 (1/2)

The torches dropped fro a red line

The fire spread immediately froround several tiround in advance, caught fire The fire spread quickly and extended itself to the dry grass and firehich were piled up at the sides of the buildings and fences

The explosively spreading fire wrapped the enca of an eye

“Hyaaaa!!”

“Fire, it's fire! We will get burnt to death!”

“P-Please, savecreature that doesn't fear fire

Even the hu fire as a tool after learning how to handle it, are no exception to that rule

I wonder whether there are any hu in front of their eyes?

I wonder whether there are any hu with their noses and feeling the heat of fire with their skins?

Much less to say, I wonder whether they will be able to keep their composure by themselves while their co to escape due to their fear of the fire?

“Aaahh!”

“I don't want to die!”

“Hot, it's hot! Please, someone rescue me!”

The huer

They were no more thanto be first out

“Nooo! Stones are falling down!”

Further atop the cliff, started to throw stones at thehtly if they are just thrown at you The stones, which have a weight of several kilograht of around 20so siht have been possible to ward them off with shi+elds or repel thes that can be repelled by swords Also, even if they are warded off by shi+elds, there's also several bigger stones a stones The shi+elds that try to ward these boulders off will be crushed

Due to all of these stones, round with their heads split apart and chests smashed in

“You bastards, open the way! Open the way, or else!!”

Battalion Leader Lugniaz frantically yells, but such a thing doesn't reach the ears of anyone

Not only that, the wave of soldiers, who fell into a state of panic, pushed the horse which Lugniaz rode fro on the reins, but a horse is originally a cowardly creature Scared of the fire and of the screa to escape, it suddenly reared on the spot

The body of Lugniaz is thrown off the horse and he hits the ground with his back Unable to breath due to that iroaned in pain One of the soldiers trying to escape stepped with all his strength on Lugniaz' right knee A sharp pain runs up his right leg alongside a snapping sound

Lugniaz, rithes on the ground while unable to screa down on top of hi in pain, it was the shadow of a stone dropped by a small zoan child froniaz, that stone falls towards hih

That was the final view Battalion Head Lugniaz saw in his life

The one who shot the fire arrow froul Grashata Shahata

Although Shahata was a hunter, he is no warrior Due to an injury he suffered in his childhood, Shahata beca able to hunt prey with their oer, they can call thee where they can be called an adult, they will be nus in the plains while only possessing a machete They will have to discover a flock inside the vast plains, chase them and decide on a prey that they can surely defeat And then, once they find an opportunity, they will have to immediately run on all fours, ju its throat with theback prey they brought down in this way, they receive the permission to officially call themselves warrior

However, Shahata, as unable to run, had no other choice but to use a bohich was despised as weapon of cowards a the zoans Because of this viewpoint, there are, of course, no zoans who can handle archery He could only learn by watching how the human and elven hunters used their bows

He was only vieith ridicule by his brethren, but for Shahata there was no other option than this After practising desperately, he can brag about his considerable skill On hunts he was able to catch a large number of prey that didn't lose out to his other clan that, Shahata didn't become a warrior That's because he won't be accepted as warrior if he doesn't run on the ground with his own feet and brings down his prey with a h many warriors headed into spectacular battles, Shahata always stayed behind in the village and could only see theloomy emotions due to that

However, it was at that point in time that the human child arrived

“I heard froht?” (Souma)

Even if he's called the best archer in the zoan village, that's not a compliment

Souma said this with a serious expression to Shahata who only answered with a curt 「Right」 due to being unable to contain his feelings of frustration,

“Please lend th” (Souma)

At first Shahata wondered what kind of joke this was supposed to be So for him who's not even a warrior to lend his power in battle He had never been told that even once so far in his life Not only that, fighting in a battle like this is so he could absolutely never realize even if he aimed for it by himself

Souma explained to Shahata, who said that he couldn't believe it, while exhausting asto it, Shahata felt so out fro he doesn't understand But that urge sti a wish to shout out, on the spot, in a loud voice, as he was unable to hold it back any longer

First, as he was told by Souht the warriors the way of archery Since there was luckily a large amount of arrows and bows provisioned in the human encampment, they were never troubled about the tools

Of course the warriors showed reluctant expressions, but for the current Shahata that wasn't much of a problem

“Shahatsan, the success or failure of this plan depends on your skill I look forward to working with you” (Souma)

And then, as requested by Sourasps his hands that are tre out of nervosity Below his feet are fire arrows that have been prepared by having their tips wrapped up by a cloth soaked with oil

He picks up one of those, stands next to the clan chief who is raising the signalling war cry and tightly draws the bow to the limit

That human child bowed its head and asked looe, to lend them my power

I'm no proud zoan if I don't live up to his expectations here I will bee!

Shahata, who scolded himself like that, released the arrow from the bow he had drawn to its limit at the same time as the clan chief's war cry ended

What he ai that stands in the vicinity of the encaer that it will be noticed by the humans too quickly if there's too nite the buildings standing close to the encampment's centre

The fire arrows released by Shahata pierced into the roofs of one building after the other So several fire arrows into the roofs of all of the buildings Frorass and firewood placed on the roofs and burns right away Leather bags with oil in the burned away, the leather bags would roll down fro fire, the buildings burst into flas burning, the clan chief Gara up to Sou next to him

“I'm surprised You did well to be able to hit them from here…” (Garam)

It was no more than those words

However, these words haveemotions

He, who's no warrior, was praised by the clan chief

That was s he had until now

While roughly wiping away the overflowing tears with his arms, Shahata picks up the next arrow
