Another World Survival: Min-maxing my Support and Summoning Magic - Chapter 127 part 1

I told everyone everything I had seen.

 

The school was reduced to rubble, the Sky Fortress.

 

The eagle that Rin-san had sent earlier.

 

The ash-black Ogre named Zagarazuina.

 

I explained how the black Ogre had killed both the eagle and the crow.

 

If we left it like that, Rin-san’s familiars would never be able to come pick us up.

 

Could it be that it attacked because it knew Rin-san’s eagle and my crow were familiars?

 

Or was it just boring and shooting birds for fun?

 

No, it shot down two of our families in succession. This action couldn’t be random.

 

We should use that as a basis for our strategy.

 

The enemy is cunning and extremely powerful.

 

If we underestimate it, we’ll have a hard time winning.

 

“Rin will certainly send more familiars. There might already be an eagle circling from another direction to get here,” Lucia said.

 

Her tone had always been almost emotionless, and although it remained so now, we could still sense a hint of pride or confidence in that statement.

 

Though she was standing normally, I had the feeling as if she had just cleared her throat and puffed out her chest.

 

It seems Rin-san and Lucia have a relationship beyond the ordinary.

 

Although I don’t know what kind of relationship it is, but…

 

I felt that Lucia’s words were quite reliable.

 

“Hmm. If so, then the current problem is that the enemy knows there’s still a fighting force remaining on this mountain and is sending familiars to scout,” I said.

 

“That’s right. But what we need to do hasn’t changed. We’ll just continue with our guerrilla tactics as before,” Lucia replied.

 

“We’ll move around while trying to eliminate some Ogres on this mountain?”

 

Lucia nodded as I said this.

 

Only a fool would stay in one place and build a defensive fortress.

 

Not to mention we’re already outnumbered, but the main issue here is that the main cannon of the Sky Fortress is extremely frightening.

 

Whether that Greater Ninja sister has enough ability to use 《Reflection》 to deflect that cannon blast is unknown, but I know my nerves and reflexes aren’t enough to pull off such a feat.

 

That said, this isn’t my fault. After all, what ordinary person could react in time to a beam weapon?

 

We can only move around and pray they don’t hit us all with their beam.

 

We only have two options now: either keep up this pace so the enemy can’t catch up,

 

Or continue with sneak attacks so the enemy doesn’t notice us.

 

“Besides that, we also need to check if Yuuki-senpai’s note is correct. If it is, we’ll make use of everything we can. If not, we’ll wait until we’re in the white room to discuss again,” I added.

 

“That’s right. We don’t have any basis to plan for the future anymore,” Lucia agreed.

 

Last night, we discussed and outlined several strategies in the white room.

 

Though not many, they were very detailed.

 

If Zagarazuina doesn’t join the battle, we could completely gain the upper hand on the battlefield.

 

That said, the problem still lies with that Zagarazuina monster and the Sky Fortress.

 

That’s why we always need to pay attention to the enemy’s position.

 

We must keep moving to mislead the enemy.

 

In short, we’ll just act as usual.

 

All day yesterday, the day before, and the day before that were the same.

 

We always gathered our courage to charge forward and attack deep into enemy territory.

 

And every time, we won by the skin of our teeth.

 

So this time will be no exception.

 

Even if we have to fight cowardly, we must overcome the enemy.

 

Like sneaking in for a sneak attack and then slipping away quietly.

 

Everyone nodded.

 

We packed our belongings and left our one-night shelter.

 

The sun wasn’t that high yet.

 

Come to think of it, although today is the day this continent will be destroyed, we still have time to take it easy… probably.

 

Then when I asked Lucia about that dinosaur-like monster…

 

“They’re probably Dwag Agnum. It’s a God-Weapon class monster capable of freely using Earth Magic.”

 

I couldn’t help but feel a chill down my spine.

 

“I heard Zagarazuina keeps those Dwag Agnum as pets…”

 

Keeping God-Weapon class monsters as pets? I must admit, this Ogre boss is even more extravagant than those Arabs who keep tigers in their homes.

 

But that’s enough for us to know how formidable this monster is.

 

　　　　　　　　※

 

This time, I summoned two familiars.

 

The first was 《Invisible Scout》, and the other was Sharow, with whom I had formed a Covenant of Allegiance last night.

 

It takes level 9 Summoning magic to summon the Phantom Wolf King Sharow.

 

That means I had to burn 81 MP.

 

The creature I summoned appeared. It was a wolf covered in silver fur, larger than my gray wolves… No, it would be more accurate to say it was larger than a horse.

 

Its pale eyes quietly stared at me.

 

『I have appeared at my master’s call. Please use me as you see fit』

 

The silver wolf’s voice transmitted directly into my head.

 

Perhaps this telepathy is one of its special abilities.

 

It spoke to me like this yesterday too.

 

And it seems Alice and the others could hear this telepathic voice as well.

 

“Waa! It’s so soft!”

 

Just like last night, Mia was the first to jump in and hug the Phantom Wolf King Sharow this morning.

 

The majestic wolf didn’t avoid her but allowed the girl to stroke its silver fur.

 

I wonder how many parts of Tokyo Dome its capacity equals.

 

“Hey Sharow, let me ask you this. Are you strong enough to carry all five of us on your back?”

 

『Yes, master. But if I’m to fight, you’ll need a saddle to ride』

 

Ah, right.

 

Otherwise, we’d all fall flat on our faces for sure.

 

Besides, from the beginning, the only one in our group with horse-riding experience was…

 

“I’ve been trained to fight while riding a horse without a saddle,” Lucia raised her hand.

 

Ah, she gets special training every day, doesn’t she?

 

But if only Lucia can sit on Sharow’s back, it doesn’t amount to much.

 

“In that case, we’ll leave the riding for later. This time we’ll walk back to school. I’ll send the Invisible Scout ahead to reconnoiter.”

 

When fighting in the forest, whichever side sees the enemy first will have the upper hand.

 

Especially at times like this, if we let any of them slip away and report back to their comrades, it would be troublesome.

 

When we see the enemy, we must eliminate them completely and quickly.

 

That’s why I summoned the Invisible Scout to help.

 

In this situation, even spending 64 MP is worth it.

 

After casting basic Support magic on everyone, we set out.

 

The Phantom Wolf King Sharow walked slowly beside me.

 

Mia was still absorbed in stroking his fur.

 

“Want to ride?” I asked.

 

“Hmm. Not now. Now’s not the time to play around,” she replied.

 

“You’re being quite considerate…”

 

“I do want to become a comic relief character, but if I get hated, then no, thank you.”

 

“Sometimes I don’t understand what the hell you’re saying…”

 

Please just speak normal Japanese like everyone else…
