"The arrows never seem to bottom out. ......"

 

The arrows, coming down as sharply as rain, never stopped. Ataru had shot down all of the arrows that the elf had fired, and there were more than a few dozen of them.

 

"It seems that the other side is thinking the same thing. . ...... I can't just leave it like this!"

 

In order to break the stalemate, he changed the loaded bullets and attacked.

 

"How about this!"

 

The bullet that was fired collided with the arrow that was coming towards him. The arrow broke and the bullet fell to the ground completely canceling out its momentum. Ataru changed the bullet to a higher grade normal bullet and fired it.

 

It was effective, destroying the arrows of the approaching elf and sending them towards the Elf with the same power as they were released without losing any of their power.

 

"......Ku! Strong!"

 

With a look of surprise on his face, the elf managed to avoid Ataru's attack.

 

"It seems that you can move and judge quickly ......If so!"

 

Without stopping, Ataru switched the bullets one after another and fired them at the elf man. By increasing the speed of firing, the elf man was gradually unable to cope with his arrows. His impatience grew as the attacks grazed his body little by little.

 

"Damn it!"

 

The elf man threw away his bow in frustration and took up his sword at his waist and started to slash down the incoming bullets.

 

He was not only a skilled archer, but also a skilled swordsman, and the bullets were cut down by his sword.

 

"That's amazing. He seems to have as good an eye as I do. It's ......, but I can do this!"

 

In a way, changing the weapon to a sword was the right decision, but in this situation with Ataru as the enemy, it was a mistake.

 

The next bullet released followed the same trajectory as before, flying at a height that the elf could easily cut it down.

 

But it was mixed in with the other bullets, and the elf man swung his sword at the bullets without question.

 

"Huh!"

 

The moment the sword touches the bullet, it is triggered.

 

"It wasn't just any bullet!"

 

The elf man was immediately aware of the meaning of Ataru's mumbling.

 

"...aaaaah!"

 

The bullet had lightning magic properties that he had used several times before. The moment it touched the sword, the magic was activated, and it traveled down the sword, damaging the elf man. The dimly lit forest glowed white with lightning for a moment.

 

He could have avoided the effect of the spell by letting go of his sword, but he couldn't because his muscles were stiffened by the lightning.

 

"Cut through the wind Wind Blade ......."

 

The elf man, face twisted in pain, slashed his arm with the wind blade and forcibly pulled the sword away.

 

"Hah, hah ...... this is tough ......."

 

When the elf was finally freed from the lightning, he fell to his knees helplessly and slumped to the ground, breathing hard. Ataru still aims through the scope there.

 

"Ha~a..... I give up ......."

 

Feeling that Ataru is still aiming at him, the elf raises both hands in the air and takes a pose of surrender. Blood dripped from his right hand from the wind blade he had just used.

 

"This is the end."

 

(Please read original at https: //sites . google . com /view/shadowgardentl/home just remove the spaces!)

 

However, Ataru, who had been watching, shot two newly reloaded bullets at the elf, and when he saw that they had landed, he turned his attention to Caro. Outside the view, the elf man was lying on the ground, having been hit by the bullets.

 

"This is pretty much the same thing."

 

Ataru's eyes saw Caro and the black panther man holding their weapons and glaring at each other.

 

"You're still going to fight?"

 

It was Caro who asked the question with a sad, twisted expression.

 

"I'm not done fighting yet. There’s no other choice but to fight in the first place."

 

The black panther man, who muttered to himself as if to throw up, narrowed his eyes as if he had made up his mind and went towards Caro.

 

The black panther man's weapon was a hand armor with hard metal embedded in the fist. In the same way, his shins were also equipped with high strength leggings, and he used them to attack Caro with a fighting style.

 

"Your movements are good."

 

But Caro, who had fought numerous monsters, golems and people, had grown rapidly in this short period of time and could see every move the black panther man made.

 

When she was hit by a fist with the shortsword, the black panther man tried to take advantage of the opening by shooting a middle kick into Caro's torso.

 

However, Caro was flexible enough to use her leg at the moment when the man was about to attack, and she held the base of the man's leg to stop him.

 

"I've seen through your moves!"

 

But the black panther man was not about to give up, and immediately moved on to his next attack.

 

He swung his free fist down on Caro's leg, which had stopped moving. I'm sure you'll be able to guess what I'm talking about.

 

"Damn you!"

 

The freed black panther man powerfully smashed both fists once and pointed the metal tip at Caro.

 

"Activate!"

 

In response to the man's words, magic is released from the metal.

 

The back of the armor is a magic tool, and by putting magic into the metal tip, it can be triggered at any desired time.

 

It was at this moment that the ice spear flew out with great force and headed towards Caro.

 

"Blast away, Fireball!"

 

But Caro, who has not lost her cool, reaches out her hand towards the ice spear that the black panther man has activated and unleashes fire magic.

 

The magics collided with each other with great force. However, the power of Caro's is greater, and it swallowed the ice spear and did not lose momentum, but went towards the black panther man as if to swallow him.

 

"Guohhhhh!"

 

However, the black panther man intercepted the ball of fire with his fist while activating the remaining ice magic in his magic tool. As a result, the magic power, the pressure of his fist, and his chi succeeded in dispersing the Fireball.

 

The impact caused the surrounding area to become enveloped in a fog.

 

"Damn, you're even using magic!"

 

The black panther man gritted his teeth in frustration and tried to glare at Caro, but she was not there.

 

"Where'd she go?"

 

Caro's voice reached the man's ears as he tried to look around impatiently.

 

"It's over!"

 

Caro, who had jumped out of the fog, moved to the man's left side and without hesitation shot a powerful fist into the man.

 

She didn't just hit him, but she also put magic power into her fist, just like the man.

 

"Guh-ah!"

 

The man who was hit directly by it was blown away and hit a nearby tree hard, losing consciousness.

 

"mmm... ...... Thank you for your hard work, it was good training."

 

This time, for the men, the mission was to kill Ataru and Caro, but for the two of them, it was a good opportunity to gain experience in fighting against other people, even against a small number of people.

 

At first, they were confused by the fact that they were of the same species, but after switching to the fact that they had been trained, Caro bowed to the fallen black panther man with a refreshed expression.

 

Then there were only three people standing in the forest, Ataru, Caro and the Black Merchant.

 

"This is ...... such a thing. Oh, hey! You guys, get up!"

 

The Black Merchant, who was sweating as he was cornered, called out to the fallen men shouting at them, but not one of them responded.......
