The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

"Roar! Enemy, observe the effect of the potion, please! Ary, assist Roa so he doesn't fall!"

I shout as loud as I can over the noise of the battlefield.

"Hippopo, full speed away! We're going back to Harbor Fulton!"

Hippopo changes direction and breaks away from the side of the group of enemy infantry at once.

"Master Rust! Enemy cavalry, they're charging!

Ary's futuristic warning.

A few moments later, the enemy infantry makes a gap.

From there, a cavalry charge of oxen-type wrought beasts comes toward us.

"d*mn! They're not going to let us off that easy. Deployment!

I throw a scroll backward. The scroll unfolds in front of the enemy cavalry. From there, I create a tornado by grinding. The limit is released, and the power is at its maximum.

But no vajra powder!

A strong wind blows. A tornado is rising.

It has some effect on the bull-shaped beast with a large surface area.

The cavalry line is broken. The footing is disrupted.

In a dense cavalry charge, a disruption in formation will greatly impair the speed of the cavalry.

"Yes! Sailor Luke! Enemy, forward, in position not to be hit, big one! Please!"

I shouted to Sailuke, who had me move up into the sky. Thanks to the contract, I can feel that Sailuke can understand me even at this distance.

Sailuke opens his mouth wide and I feel him swing his head downwards.

An intense light is generated in the sky above.

The glow is like a shooting star.

Sailuke's dragon breath pours down from the heavens to the earth.

It rises up in front of the enemy cavalry as a pillar of light.

The next moment, the earth explodes. The blast sends up a huge amount of earth and sand, completely obscuring the enemy's vision.

The enemy's creatures of artifice fall to the ground.

Some of the riders are thrown to the ground, and others fall to the ground together with their mounts.

We took this opportunity to use the rolled-up sand and soil as a smoke screen and succeeded in escaping from the scene.

We were able to break away from the scene.

"Okay, I think we've come this far."

I drop Hippopo at full speed to a run.

Sailuke comes down to the ground, perhaps seeing Hippopo slowing down.

Sailuke is now in position on top of Hippopo's head.

"Thank you for what you did before, Sailuke. That was a great dragon breath. It made it possible for me to get out of here safely.

"Squeal. Sailuke is somewhat proud of himself. His chin is jutting out.

I lightly scratch the underside of his chin.

"Loa, I'm going to let go of you," Ary says to Loa.

Loa has been sitting precariously on the swaying hippopotamus at full speed for a long time. Ary holding him up so that he would not fall off.

I thank them both again.

"So, Loa, did you see the effects of the potion?"

"I saw it. It works. The parasite mushrooms, they were melting off.

"It's melting! Hmmm ....... Okay!!! Well, that's something we can do. Thank you, Loa!"

I was stroking Sailuke, and I almost stroked Roa as well.

I stop my hand in a hurry and hold it up.

That was a close call. I almost stroked Roa's head. I was afraid he would say I was treating him too much like a child.

Roa looks at me strangely.

However, Roa understood immediately and slapped my palm with his own hand while I held it up.

I was relieved inside.
