Chapter 7: Past Glory Lost

Part 1 of 4 (translated by Lono)

Look for it

Find it no matter what

In this situation, with hoe are now, there must be some e can pull this off

Of course he hadn’t dared to think it would all go well from the very start It couldn’t be that simple

Even so, to think that it would be this bad…

“—ku! Ranta…! Don’t back off…!”

Haruhiro was trying to get a grasp of the situation while parrying the attacks of goblin A with [SWAT]

Goblin A earing a leather helmet and chainmail armor, and was armed with a short sword and a s body, nor were its blows as heavy Even fighting it one-on-one wasn’t that hard; the problem was Ranta

“It’s not like I’ off…!”

Ranta yelled “[PROPEL LEAP]…!” to retreat in a hurry Goblin B was drawn in and gave chase

Without a oblin with his long sword

“Eat this! [JUKE STAB]…!”

However, thanks to its good physique, the heavily ared to avoid Ranta’s sword by a hair’s breadth Well, even if he’d landed the attack between the neck and shoulder of the are Goblin B didn’t falter and closed the distance between the sword at Goblin B’s blade,

“[EXPEL FRENZY]…!”

And i fine, but then—

“Kiran! Got you! [HATRED’S CU…]!”

Ranta stepped in aggressively and perfor a perfect strike on top of Goblin B’s left shoulder However, it wasn’t enough It was the ar sword failed to penetrate, leaving only a dent

“You’re being too aggressive…!” Haruhiro co Goblin A’s sword

“Shut it!” Ranta yelled back He then showered Goblin B with attacks

“Orya orya orya orya orya…! Ura ura ura ura ura ura ura…!”

Though Goblin B was recoiling, Haruhiro could see it was sos

That’s why a brute force approach is impossible Do you understand, Ranta?

“You bastard—”

Because you aren’t Mogzo

Haruhiro almost said ashe shouldn’t say Because Ranta was doing his best in his oay He had tried to take on the tank role of the party, and froht into the middle of the enemies

But unlike Mogzo, Ranta was never the type to hold position and continually exchange bloith the opponent

To begin with, the core of the Dread Knight’s fighting style was to make use of itsthe around was inevitable If he didn’t do that, he wouldn’t be able to use his real strength Ranta wasn’t like that He wasn’t a tank Haruhiro and the others would have to change the very basics of their strategy But ould their new tactic be…?

“Oh…”

Haruhiro tried to [SWAT] the Goblin’s sword, but his hand slipped The goblin will break through This is bad—

“Tsuaaa…!”

Mary Mary rushed in ai despite blocking with his shi+eld

“Are you preoccupied with so…!?”

“S-sorry, Mary!”

“Focus!”

While answering yes in his mind, Haruhiro attacked Goblin A Pretended to attack, to be exact As soon as Goblin A turned to counter attack, Haruhiro switched to [SWAT] He soed to connect [SWAT] with [ARREST] and tried to incapacitate Goblin A, but it didn’t look like it would work

Goblins are a bit too soblin What’s up with this? dainity, but I can’t defeat a single goblin facing hih that I’m too weak

“Oom rel eckt nem das…!”

shi+horu used her round It attached itself near the right foot of Goblin C, which had locked blades with Yume

Nice, shi+horu

Goblin C panicked and planted its left foot, trying to pull its other foot away, but the shadow eleo

“Funya!”

Yume jumped at Goblin C, and showered it with a combo of [SWEEPING SLASH] and [CROSS CUT] However, Goblin C earing chainmail in addition to its hatchet-like weapon, so it didn’t suffer a fatal wound Even so, its shoulders, arth, so they should be in quite a lot of pain

Goblin C began to rando its hatchet It must have been really desperate, but Yume pulled back

If Yume took a hit from that with just her leather armor, it would be bad

“Yume…!”

She briefly glanced in Haruhiro’s direction, and see called

Yu here

Parrying Goblin A’s sith [SWAT] once more, Haruhiro dashed away Goblin A tried to keep up with him, but Yume took over and stopped it

Goblin C’s right foot was still affected by [SWADOW BIND] It noticed Haruhiro co around to face him, but was too slow Or rather, because it couldn’t freely use its legs, it couldn’tsomeone like that from behind would be easy

Haruhiro circled around to Goblin C’s rear and leapt in He ioblin’s arer After Haruhiro pulled away, Goblin C’s knees bent and audibly hit the ground His right foot was still fixed to the ground, so it didn’t collapse completely

“—Alright! Finally got one…!”

Part 2 of 4 (translated by Lono)

Yu Goblin A, and Ranta Goblin B Haruhiro could target either of the goblins’ backs Should I go for A, or B?

Goblin B is protected by decent-looking ar with that will probably be troubleso rid of Goblin A

Haruhiro had barely started running when he felt a dull impact on his left flank It felt like he’d been kicked

“Urgh…?”

Looking down, he found an arrow sticking out of his left side What… is this?

“Why—From where…!?”

He was more surprised than in pain At the moment anyway

Haruhiro looked around Judging from its trajectory—There To the left, a little bit behind It looks like a mostly crumbled wall It’s a little too soblin…

“They have reinforcements…!”

“Haru, healing!” Mary tried to run towards Haruhiro

“Don’t!”

Haruhiro shook his head and ran towards the wall “Mary, shi+horu…!”

There was a chance the ene Haruhiro There was also the possibility of Mary being shot by an arrow That would be catastrophic

“Ku…!”

Of course, running makes my side hurt a lot But not so much that I can’t move It’s still tolerable

To begin with, could Haruhiro even do anything, going there alone? Hard to say However, he felt that being treated by Mary right noasn’t a good idea If he were in their place, he would definitelyGoblins were smaller than humans, but they were by no means stupid

Haruhiro came to a stop on the other side of the wall

“—It’s not here…!?” Haruhiro yelled, astonished Suddenly an arrow caed to duck at the last second, dodging it by a hair’s breadth

About seven or eighta short bow, half hidden behind a pile of rubble Goblin D had probably anticipated that Haruhiro would rush to find it and moved there from its previous location Really… they aren’t stupid at all

“But I won’t let you run away anymore…!”

Goblin D tried to nock another arrow, but fro of the shot, but could also grasp where it would be aioblin did release the arrow, he would be able to dodge it Or at least he should have been able to

He felt dizzy

His heartbeat eird It sounded like violent sto like crazy

Goblin D shot its arrow Needless to say, Haruhiro tried to dodge However, his movements were a little— just a little—different from what he expected

The arrow pierced his chest, near his left shoulder, and Haruhiro fell backwards Uwa I ended up taking a second one

“It’s a poisonous arrow…!” yelled Haruhiro,up all the voice he could

Goblin D threw its bow aside, pulled out a s at Haruhiro

What should I do? [SWAT] it? Is that possible? Definitely not

Goblin D pushed Haruhiro down and straddled him It then tried to stab his face with its ser or so it He could only try to protect his face using his arorously pierced theain Haruhiro was desperate He wasn’t supposed to have time to think about unnecessary stuff, and yet, the words ‘I screwed up’ still crossed his mind
