Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

"There you are."

Ataru's unconcerned muttering indicated that the identity of the presence had become clear.

"It's not as big as I thought!"

The size of the thing was small compared to the size of the presence that she felt. Caro muttered in surprise.

It was a huge lizard-shaped monster that appeared in front of them. It was only slightly larger than a human adult. However, its color was a deep, dark black, almost jet black. And it had a strange atmosphere about it.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Anzam was astonished as if he was seeing something impossible. He had fought many kinds of monsters as an adventurer, but the one in front of him was something he had never seen or heard of before.

"This is probably a monster that has been altered by the miasma. This is the first time I've seen it myself. ......"

This was Aig's calm explanation. However, his hands naturally tightened, which was probably a sign of fear.

"Well, whatever it is,......, it looks tough."

Ataru and Caro took up their weapons in front of the enemy.

The monster that pushed its way through the forest was moving slowly towards Ataru and the others.

"Is this guy ...... sentient?"

Azam muttered to himself, looking at the monster with a suspicious expression on his face, the monster seemed to be nodding off.

And then the next moment, the monster raised its head.

"It's coming!"

In an instant, Ataru and Caro each jumped to the side.

However, Anzam, who was behind, couldn't react quickly enough and ended up receiving the monster's attack.

"Gahhhhh!"

And was blown away by the momentum.

"Anzam!"

Aig impatiently called out his name and looked in the direction of where he was blown away. But it was a big gap.

"Aig!"

Ataru, noticing the monster about to attack, shouts his name and fires a bullet at the monster to stop it from attacking.

The monster was about to attack Aig, but it took a bullet to the head and looked at him to see what was going on. It seemed that Ataru's bullet must have hit it directly, but it only shook its body and did no visible damage.

"Damn, no damage from that!"

With frustration in his voice, Ataru had already begun to move.

Ataru, who mainly engaged in long distance combat, was changing his location to prevent the trajectory of the bullets from being read when his location was known.

But Caro, who was primarily a melee fighter, was running quickly towards the demon.

"Kura, eeeeee!"

Caro who had noticed that Ataru's attack did not seem to be working, shouted more than ever and slashed at the demon with her shortsword with all her might.

Even Ataru's bullets could not damage the head. So, she aimed at the place where she thought the joint was probably.

And it worked.

"Gyaa!"

The monster recoiled with a short cry, probably from the pain of being stabbed.

However, the monster immediately raised its body with vigor and spat out a number of small black balls from its mouth aimed at Caro.

"Kyaa!"

It's hugely difficult for even the most quick-witted person like Caro to avoid all of them, and several of the balls pierced her body. And Caro's face distorted in pain.

"Caro-san! Damn it, pierce the 【Wind Spear】!"

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

Aig fires a spell at the monster, hoping to stop it from attacking even a little. A sharp wind spear flies into the monster with great force.

It succeded in making the monster's body move a few centimeters to the side, but the amount of damage still seems to be small.

"Oh, thank you!"

Caro manages to escape when the monster stops moving due to Aig's attack.

"But this monster is strong......."

Caro who came to Aig's side had sweat on her forehead. It might be because they have been reminded of the obvious difference between them and the ones they have been fighting.

"That's right. This might be a bad idea. ......"

So far, none of them have been able to inflict any critical damage. Even Ataru's bullets, which seem to be the strongest among the people here, barely moved its head.

"It's okay. I'm sure Ataru-sama can handle it! We'll do as much damage as we can to try and weaken the monster in order to draw out its weaknesses and attack patterns."

Caro smiled positively, took up her shortsword again and headed for the monster. She said this because she truly trusts Ataru.

"Ah, already! Even though we were just attacked earlier!"

As he followed her with his eyes as she jumped out of the way, Aig felt irritated with Caro who was moving with blind trust in Ataru.

"Hey, ahhhhh!"

However, the one who attacked the demon was not Ataru, Caro or Aig, but Anzam, who was blown away earlier.

Standing there with an aura that seems to be shimmering, his anger has increased his attack power. When he fought Caro, his fighting style was limited by his inability to disobey orders due to his collar, but now that he is out of control, his attack power is unleashed to show his strength.

"Aaaaaaah!"

It was the monster's turn to be blown away by the powerful blow of Anzam's fist. His fist was filled with magical power, and combined with his physical strength, it caused a lot of damage to the monster.

"Gugyagaaahhhh!"

A crack appeared in the body of the monster that no one had been able to hurt before.

And the crack was caused by the miasma that surrounded the monster.

"Now!"

He couldn't miss that opportunity. Ataru fired a barrage of bullets at the crack. The first few bullets were strong normal bullets.

"Gugya! Gugya!"

Every time a piercing bullet enters the crack, the monster suffers from pain and cries out loudly.

"This is the next one!"

The next time, the crack widened by the previous attack, and this time, he shot a piercing bullet. The bullet pierced the monster, and when it entered its body, it released its magic at once.

If it was just a piercing bullet, it would have pierced through and that would have been the end of it, but Ataru chose to use a piercing magic bullet. Ataru, who had defeated many monsters so far, had many kinds of bullets lined up in his bullet list.

Hence, the range of his combat had expanded greatly.

"Gahhhhhhhh!"

The magic that was invoked to cancel out the miasma from within inflicted great damage on the monsters. And the cracks in its skin were appearing one after another.

"Now!"

Caro swung her shortsword down at the monster again and again, as if to give it a boost.

"Come on, come on, come on!"

Anzam joined her in shooting his fists into the monster.

The monster was being cornered by the repeated attacks.

"【Spirit of the Wind! Respond to my call and unleash the surging winds】!"

Aig, who was behind Caro and Anzam, summoned a Spirit of Wind and created a tornado that hit the monster.

Caro and Anzam, who sensed the increase in magic power, quickly jumped away and took their distance.

"Guhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The monster that took a beating from the tornado is making a painful cry that seems to be a cry of desperation. It's body swallowed by the tornado is still being twisted by the wind, but it's still struggling to get out.

"It's the end!"

Ataru anticipates the movement of the monster swallowed by the wind and shoots a magic bullet again.

The magic that was poured in exploded. The moment the shot was fired, the bullet exploded, and the monster was dispersed.
