Danmachi: Reaper

"May I join Ais, Captain?"

Kelvin's sudden question made Finn frown as he looked at her.

"No, I won't allow you." Finn refused firmly, "sending Ais alone already makes me feel guilty, so I won't let you tag along. Plus, you won't be able to fight anymore with just one arm!"

Kelvin's right arm was severed, dissolving and removing from where it should have been.

Now, he only had one arm left. And that would definitely make it difficult for him in a fight.

If it was before, it didn't matter because Kelvin fought with his Magic, creating traps in the air and killing Caterpillar Monsters in the process.

Only, this fight was more dangerous because the new Monsters that appeared looked very powerful!

Kelvin was just a Level 2 Adventurer, and it was impossible for him to hold off these new Monsters, nor keep up with Ais during the fight.

Not if he didn't use his Magic ....

"Hehe, isn't that the interesting part?" Kelvin grinned, as if he wasn't afraid of the great possibilities he would face before his eyes.

"You're crazy!" Finn shouted in disbelief.

Kelvin had lost an arm, but instead of being scared, he felt excited?

Crazy threads!

1

"Yes! That's me! I won crazy!"

Hearing Finn's remark, Kelvin was unfazed and only grinned wider.

In the end, he was a person who loved fighting, he would fight even if it would crush his soul and cost him his life.

His life was for fighting, and fighting was his way of life.

"Anyway, just go with the others. The problem here let me and Ais handle it!"

After saying that, Kelvin ran away, leaving behind Finn who looked annoyed when he disobeyed his orders.

Only, chasing after him would further mess up the coordination of their team. Thus, Finn would just ignore Kelvin as he shouted towards Raul.

"Shit! There's no time to chase after him! Raul, go to Riveria, and tell him to gather all available Adventurers! We'll get out of here! Now!"

"Y-Yes!" Raul immediately saluted, running with all his might towards Riveria.

He knew clearly the situation they were in, so he didn't ask many questions and did what Finn told him to do.

It was just that, seeing Finn ignore Kelvin and let him help Ais, many of the other First Class Adventurers were not okay with it, and wanted to come help Ais as well.

"Finn! I'll help Ais too!"

"How could I let a weakling and a woman protect me?!"

"Captain, please reconsider. We can help Ais too!"

Tiona, Bete, and Tione quickly voiced their thoughts.

Only, unlike before, Finn was now harsher on them.

"Don't make me repeat it!"

Although his voice sounded calm, there was an undeniable pressure in it.

No one could argue with the little Pallum anymore.

They knew, once Finn said this, there would be no arguing with him now. Even the usually rebellious Bete could only obey, albeit while growling unhappily.

With reluctance and hatred, they could only obey that Pallum now.

"Sorry, Ais. But I'll also leave Kelvin to you."

"It's fine, I understand."

In response to Finn's apology, Ais only smiled calmly. Her gaze turned to Kelvin who was already running ahead to dispel the Monster that had just appeared, and a sense of anticipation began to fill her.

To Ais, the figure of Kelvin was an anomaly that shouldn't exist. It wasn't normal for someone to love fighting as if it was part of their life. But, Kelvin did that.

He, Kelvin, loved fighting, and he loved it when he fought with enemies stronger than him.

Ais still didn't understand why Kelvin liked fighting so much. Was it because of his past? Ais didn't know.

It was just that, this kind of tendency of Kelvin's was what allowed him to become strong quickly.

Challenging yourself and going beyond your limits.

It might not have been mentioned, but Kelvin had said that to her before.

Back then, Ais didn't really understand what that sentence meant. But now, she probably had a pretty clear picture.

"I'll signal you when everything is finished being evacuated. Until then, give us as much time as possible."

"Understood!" Ais nodded.

*****

"Oh, Ais! You finally came!"

Looking at Ais who ran towards him, Kelvin looked at her with a grin that wasn't etched on his face.

"Kelvin ...." Ais nodded, standing next to Kelvin as she stared at the humanoid female caterpillar monster that had just appeared.

The many legs of the female caterpillar monster were carved through the ground, while its arms waved into the air with faint red streaks that brushed away the thin smoke scattered in the air.

"Ais, can you hold off the monster while I prepare my magic?" Kelvin asked calmly. To fight this Monster, he had to use his Magic to be able to match its physical strength and speed.

He might be a Level 2 Adventurer, but with his Magic, his physical strength far surpassed that!

"I see." Ais nodded in response.

Holding Desperate in her hand, Ais immediately rushed towards the enemy in front of her eyes without the slightest hesitation in her eyes.

Her golden eyes stared intently, while she whispered softly:

"Wake up, Tempest!"

She called out to the wind.

Sriiiinnggg!

The sound of her sword scraping sounded as it was taken out of its sheath.

Then, as if realizing the presence of the 'Wind' enveloping Ais' body, her humanoid body shifted, following Ais' movements.

In the center of her smooth 'face', a gap suddenly appeared, as she opened her jaws as wide as possible.

Her entire body trembled as she let out a large amount of acidic liquid like the caterpillar monster from before.

In terms of the amount and speed the liquid flew, it was no different from all the caterpillar Monsters she had previously fought.

Because of that, Ais chose to avoid it with quick steps.

In the next second, a rush of water rushed by, cutting through the air as it fell and carved into the ground where Ais was standing just now, before finally crashing deep into the cliff behind her.

*Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

The hill collapsed in on itself when the liquid hit it, leaving behind a new 'hole' formed by the liquid.

Smoke billowed into the air, created by the rocks and soil that collapsed from the hill.

On the other side ....

"I, who will soon be Awakened, am the Embodiment of Insanity ...."

Kelvin began to chant his Magic.

With Madness Increase, Kelvin's physique was certainly able to rival Bete and other First Class Adventures. On top of that, he also gained a speed boost equivalent to Ais.

Although the price to pay for that extraordinary power was quite expensive. But for Kelvin, it was a small price to pay especially if he could feel the sensation like before.

That feeling of helplessness ....

That madness ....

He wanted to feel it again!

".... With this power, I will bring the world under madness!"

When he finished chanting the spell, his figure changed.

At an extremely fast speed, Kelvin's figure disappeared and instantly appeared behind the humanoid caterpillar monster's figure.

And as if realizing Kelvin's presence, its humanoid body shifted, staring at Kelvin harshly. Then ....

*Splashh!

It opened its jaws again and spewed a large amount of acidic liquid towards Kelvin.

"Kelvin!" Ais shouted with a clear look of worry on her face.

How could she not be worried, Kelvin attacked from behind by quickly leaping into the air, which meant that when in the air, her figure would become extremely vulnerable to attack.

When in the air, it was impossible to maneuver to avoid the incoming attack. Even if you can, it is very difficult to do.

The result ....

Hisss!

Kelvin's body was completely exposed to the acidic liquid. He was flooded with the relentless acid!

It's just that ....

"Graaahhhh!"

His figure did not stop, and continued to attack!

Swinging the Corrosion Scythe, Kelvin's figure pierced through the acidic liquid that hit his body, as if he didn't care about the acidic liquid or anything else!

As a result..., smoke billowed out from his body, his skin as if burned. It's just that ....

"What...?" Ais stared at Kelvin's figure in surprise.

Although his body was exposed to the liquid, but there was something that made his figure heal instantly.

That super-fast regeneration process prevented her body from melting from the acid!

When the acid hit his body, and wanted to dissolve it, Kelvin's body surprisingly started regenerating itself at an incredible speed. It was as if the acid didn't mean much to him at all!
