Chapter 62.2. The Adamantine’s Defense

-Adamantine’s POV-

[Diamond Body]

Like sparkling glass powder, Adamantine’s mana shines, and her magic barrier becomes multi-layered. In this way, all the attacks of the approaching scissors mantis were received and repelled.

“Ha ha! What does my invincible defense taste like?”

[Diamond Body] is the original magic that gave Adamantine her nickname. Although it only lasts a few minutes, it creates a multi-layered magic barrier, creating a solid wall of defense.

Adamantine lowered her knees slightly and let her mana surround her entire body. The mana shimmered as an aura, and with a deep breath, she pointed her axe at the swarming scissors mantis, which attacked her with guns.

[Explosion Axe]

“Nuuooryyaaa!”

Her axe is filled with red heat and heats the air. The axe swung with all her power hit the scissors mantis and caused a huge explosion. All the scissors mantis swarming around her were torn into a thousand pieces and easily wiped out.

“Yes! Wipe out!”

Adamantine struck a gut punch and grinned ferociously.

“As flashy as ever.”

“There are still a lot of scissors mantis left, so watch your mana levels.”

Her friends laugh at her as usual and continue the battle. They’re each accustomed to the Adamantine’s vigorous combat. When they were in the middle of a guard mission, and a large number of enemies appeared, She was the leader who defeated them with the same combo.

“It’s okay. We can still use this combo a few more times.”

“Don’t think you can get rid of the adults now, either.”

Tsubame pointed to an adult scissors mantis. Since it was blended in with the herd, it seemed to have fallen back instantly when it gets defeated by “Explosion Axe”, and it spread its wings and flew to avoid it. Its body is slightly injured, but it is far from fatal.

“Tsk! It seems mana-sensing is very sharp.”

It could sense that we were gathering mana to use martial arts and evading our attack. Unlike the juveniles, it seems to have some intelligence and a sense of danger.

“Chichichichichi”

Scissors mantis shakes its wings with a cry.

[Shockwave]

Just as the air felt a tremor, Adamantine’s magi barrier of the vajra shook, and the vajra was pushed by the force of the tremor, scraping the ground and knocking it backward.

That’s one of the magic used by scissors mantis, the magic of vibrating waves released from its wings. It is a range-attacking magic that has strong power and gets released into the surrounding area. The vibrations pushed down Adamantine and the others by the magic barrier, shattering the lawn in the area of the vibrations and causing fine dirt to dance around.

“I knew that an adult is not the same caliber as a juvenile, but it’s nasty!”

As she swings her axe in time, the scissors mantis swings its scythe to match and bounces it back. A fellow spear tries to pierce it, but it spreads its wings again and falls back.

“No! I ain’t got time to take down a juvenile while dealing with an adult!”

The Martini’s leader, a short distance away, sounds impatient, and that one is also engaged in a battle with an adult scissors mantis. They seemed to be having a hard time fighting, and they joined with other parties to fight.

It was true that the six of us, all B-ranked, were finally an even match for them. It would be tough for Martini and the other adventurers. The warriors, on the other hand, were engaged in a battle with a group of adults and seemed to have no time to spare for anything else.

“It seems the adults didn’t take on the tanks, leader.”

“They thought it wouldn’t taste so good to take on a hunk of metal, or so they thought!”

“Here come the additions! We can’t protect them!”

Several adult scissors mantis and hundreds of juvenile ones newly emerged from the burning forest, ignoring the warriors, Adamantine, and the other adventurers, and headed toward the fleeing people.

Some of them are smart enough to go after the weak ones who can’t fight with them, rather than the tough ones.

“Damn, we can’t afford it too, can we?”

Adamantine shouted in frustration as she repelled a series of scythes with her axe and used her magic barrier to block them. The adult scissors mantis’ body is too strong.

The fleeing people are far away, but they still haven’t escaped. They’re at a distance that monsters can attack.

The adult scissors mantis let out a sound and flew through the air, spreading their wings to close the distance at once.

In one breath, they raised their scythes to the humans at the far end of the line, about to strike from the sky.

“Damn, can’t anyone help me?”

The blow of the adult scissors mantis has the power to break through even the adventurer’s magic barriers. It seemed that it would kill her with a death knell. At this rate, it would be a scene of groaning.

The scissors mantis with its arms raised, dropped its head, its body shaking in mid-air, and then it fell.

Then something small appeared and disappeared, appearing and disappearing, flickering in the sky like a phantom, and the adult scissors mantis fell to the ground, their heads easily cut off.

“Hmm? What happened?”

“What, something small..?”

Adamantine was surprised to see what kind of magic was used while that person fighting. Juvenile scissor mantis don’t mind even if the adults are defeated and try to go to the fleeing people.

Before them, a small robed figure appears as if oozing out of space and holds up a dagger.

[Cyclone Blade]

The small figure lets out a cute cry like a baby chick, and as the figure blurs and spins, the juvenile scissors mantis get torn to pieces.
