Volume 3 said:The ground beneath his feet exploded, with the resulting cascade of rocks vaulting Subaru straight up.
The scattering rocks pelted his body all over. Skin breaking and bleeding, Subaru looked down from midair to see the cause of his pain.
South of the point where the ground had exploded under Subaru, he saw the demon beast puppy in a low crouch. The Urugarum had kept a low profile since leading the pack down the cliff, waiting for its opportunity to take Subaru and Rem out in a single cascade of rocks. And so, seeing Subaru create an opening, it had spectacularly intervened with the goal of sending both him and Rem flying.
However…
“—!!”
…its plan was foiled when Rem roared and stomped onto the ground from which the rocks were erupting. Force canceled force, ending with only her blue hair heavily disheveled. She’d canceled out magical force with raw violence— smashing the spell with brute force.
Volume 5 said:Rem’s roar rent the air as her leg pushed her up, as if the ground itself had launched her.
To the front, an enormous wall of flame spread out before Rem as she leaped. She broke through that barrier, smashing in the face of an enemy standing beside it. The moment after, a fireball bore down on her, large enough to bury her entire field of vision.
“—!!”
A thunderous shout. An orange glow rose up amid the trees bathed in the morning sun, then another and another.
The inferno surged wildly, burning away the trees, with the very world groaning as the high temperature turned the area to ash.
—On that scorched plain, the charred remnants of a white apron dress fluttered and vanished into the wind
Volume 8 said:“—! Ia! Protect him!!”
Ferris seemed to leap to his feet the instant the whisper reached his eardrums, calling to Subaru, at the entrance to the wagon—no, to the common spirit tethered to him.
Ferris’s gravity, normally unthinkable for him, made Subaru stare for a second, wondering what had happened, when…
“Ah?”
With a burst of heat, the common spirit flew out, deploying a crimson wall of shimmering light around his entire body. It enveloped Subaru, completely isolating him from his surroundings—
“Now cooomes the beginning…of the end!!”
Frozen stiff, Subaru heard a shrill voice saying that right before his eyes.
The next moment, Subaru was engulfed by the flames of the exploding dragon carriage, losing all track of which way was up.
CHAPTER 4 A CRAFTY SLOTH
1
When Subaru’s mind returned to reality, the first thing he took in was the powerful stench of something burnt.
It was like meat that had been barbecued to ash, stir-fried vegetables that had been fried black, completely and thoroughly burnt from too much heat inside and outside, a scent that brought one’s mood to its nadir.
“—”
He opened his mouth, trying to get his voice out. He couldn’t hear a thing. It was not that sound did not reach his eardrums, but rather that too great a sound had slammed into them a moment prior. A sound far too great to be termed ringing echoed through his skull at length, leaving Subaru to expect little from his hearing for the time being. “—” Subaru continued instinctively raising his voice as he relied on his other senses. His eyelids were open, but his field of vision remained pitch-black, ruling sight out. His sense of smell was dominated by the stench of something burnt, and there was a strong taste of rust inside his mouth. The fact that he lay faceup, limbs spread wide, meant he’d probably fallen onto the ground.
“—Aah.”
During the time he checked to see that his limbs could move, his own voice faintly slipped past the ringing in his ears. As the ringing began to fade, he began to be able to hear himself. At the same time, he began to hear the sound of his own blood coursing through his body, and the darkness in his field of vision gradually brightened.
His five senses were functioning. Sight and vision were returning, allowing him to sense the world around him. And then—
“—!!—!—!!”
As his hearing recovered, stringent shouts flew his way. Some voices were bloodcurdling; others were those of crying children. Screams. The mansion, burnt—instantly, his thoughts came to a boil.
“—! What the—?!”
When his thinking processes recovered, bolstered by his five senses, Subaru sat up with a start and looked around the area. His entire body, covered in burns and scrapes, pleaded for mercy, but the spectacle before his eyes made him forget all that.
—Right before Subaru’s eyes were the burning remains of a dragon carriage, with several land dragon corpses scattered around it.
“Ex—plosion…”
His memory from just before came back, allowing Subaru to properly grasp what had happened.
Explosion. Yes, an explosion. Explosion was the only word he had for the supreme might of the destruction wrought.
Such was the power of it that the dragon carriages lined alongside had been blown away and a good chunk of Earlham Village completely leveled. The homes bordering the village square had been engulfed by the spreading fires from the explosion, with flames licking at the familiar scenery.
The blackened, charred objects scattered around the area were partly the dragon carriages and the corpses of their land dragons, but that none were intact made him unable to differentiate between organic and inorganic matter. It was surely a foregone conclusion that the dense scent of burning flesh invading his nostrils was from the land dragons that had perished in the blast.
Here's Sirius standing on top of said tower, it's pretty large:Arc 5 said:During this time, Sirius had approached the control tower, using movements outside natural boundaries to shift her strength and body weight to the chain, and then released strength from her entire body.
The serpent of flame swept the control tower with a violent momentum, and the foundation of stone tower collapsed with a howl. Fragmenting, collapsing, the stone tower’s foundation was consumed by waves of fire, tilting from the impact of the huge flame.
— Liliana was in that stone tower.
In one motion, the stone tower tilted and collapsed.
Priscilla with orange hair scattered across her shoulders, watched the tower collapse with widened eyes.
Is the site giving y problems or just me?Anyways forget the question because I'm reading the web novel anyways, via Witch Cult Translations.
After this arc, Subaru is probably gonna be a master tactician.
