Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"……what."

A huge monster flapped its wings and flew over from the front right.

It has a human head, a lion body, a scorpion tail and bat wings, and is exactly the same as the other scorpion lion. Its giant body, nearly ten meters long, seems to block out the sky and the sun.

Unlike the male scorpion lion, this one has a woman's head, but it is still extremely weak.

"No one ever said there were two manticores!"

Sato Kazuma had a Buddhist smile on his face.

The female scorpion lion lowered her head slightly and saw the two bugs on the ground.

"Kazuma, run away! The female manticore is stronger than the male! If you get caught, you're doomed!"

Huihui quickly braked and turned to run towards the large group in the distance.

"Hey, it's not nice of you to run alone!"

Kazuma was shocked and quickly chased after Huihui.

"Kazuma has no right to say that!"

Megumin held down her raised pointed hat and shouted without turning around.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is there another manticore?"

“Those two guys, Kazuma and Megumin, actually ran away while we weren’t paying attention?”

"Everyone, be careful! Don't let your guard down! Although the manticore is a synthetic beast created by humans using creative magic and isn't as powerful as a griffin, it's still a terrifying monster! And because it's been subjected to numerous human experiments, its personality is often quite abnormal!"

Someone quickly stood up and warned everyone.

“Aa ...

“Kazuma!!”

The monster's shadow suddenly enlarged before his eyes.

Kazuma had a familiar expression of grief and anger on his face, and the scorpion lion caught up with him from behind, grabbed him, and lifted him into the air.

He is only level 6!

It's been less than a month since I was reincarnated into this world. As the weakest adventurer, I haven't learned many skills. Why do I have to face such a terrifying enemy?

“Megumin, Darkness, Aqua! Anyone, come and help!”

far away.

Darkness, whom he had placed high hopes on, was trembling under the monster’s feet.

Aqua hid behind Jiang Li with a frightened look on her face, and kept saying shameless words like "Don't leave my eyes, be my shield."

Yasaka Airi became more and more happy as the fight went on. She was beating up the griffin and didn't pay any attention to the battle situation here.

"no way."

Jiang Li sighed.

He took a step forward, and amid Aqua's shout of "Why are you going away? What should I do if you go away?", he came in front of the scorpion lion.

"what?"

The manticore let out an obscene laugh.

next moment.

Jiang Li's figure suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Then, as if in the blink of an eye, a distance of dozens of meters was crossed, and Jiang Li's figure, holding the magic wand high, appeared in front of him as if skipping frames.

"Shh!"

He slashed down with his wand.

The manticore was completely unable to react.

Before he could even recover from the shock of Jiang Li's sudden appearance in front of him, the wooden wand had already hit him on the forehead.

There was a pause.

It was as if my brain turned into paste in an instant.

The light in the scorpion lion's eyes slowly disappeared, and its body tilted and fell to the ground, without a trace of breath.

"Hey, get up, the monster is dead."

Jiang Li poked Darkness, who was lying dead on the ground, with the tip of his staff.

It's strange. All the heavy objects on her body have disappeared, so why is she still shaking?

"Huh? Huh, huh, huh? Why did he die?"

As if waking from a dream, Darkness quickly stood up from the ground and sighed deeply as she looked at the corpse of the mantis lion next to her.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but why did he feel that this woman seemed a little disappointed?

"Okay, so awesome!"

Aqua looked at him with sparkling eyes, her eyes rolling around.

Chapter 525: Oh my god, the protagonist is dead!

2023-06-01

The female manticore grabbed Kazuma with her front paws and used him as a hostage to fight with the adventurers.

The adventurer suddenly became cautious, and the magic that he could release at will became restricted.

In addition, they were mercenaries with no discipline to begin with, and they were unable to form an effective formation under such circumstances. Under the continuous attacks of the female scorpion lion, everyone was knocked away.

The thick-skinned warriors all had their bones broken, and the weak magicians almost fainted, with some even breathing less and more.

After all, monsters of the scorpion lion's level are simply not something that the adventurers in Novice Town can deal with on a whim!

The air was filled with a large amount of magic power at some point, gathering in the distance and transforming into a huge, colorful magic wave.

Someone is preparing some kind of super-large magic.

"Die to me!"

But that's it.

Jiang Li appeared in the middle of the scene and struck out with a magic wand.

After seeing how perverted the scorpion lion was, he didn't want to say a word to this synthetic beast.

In full view of everyone, the scorpion lion was hit by the light blow without realizing it, then fell from the sky with its eyes rolled back, hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

"Amazing! He solved it with just one move!"

"So handsome!"

"What kind of magic does he use?"

"It's a magic item, right? Isn't it level 1?"

The adventurers were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Jiang Li.

"why is it like this……"

Only Huihui reluctantly retracted her wand, looking at the hot magic ball condensed at the tip of the wand, her face full of phlegm stuck in her throat, and she felt conflicted about whether to spit it out or swallow it.

"Where's Kazuma?"

"That guy was caught so easily, making the fight so difficult for everyone!"

“No, it’s bad, Kazuma is dead!”

WTF?

Jiang Li was suddenly stunned and ran over quickly.

Kazuma was lying in the claws of the scorpion lion. There was a hole in his forehead, blood was oozing out, his neck was broken at a very scary angle, and there was no life in his eyes.

"Actually...really dead?"

Jiang Li looked incredulous.

Because he was pinched by the scorpion lion and couldn't move, he hit the ground when he fell and died from the injuries... Is this really how the protagonist died?

I accidentally killed the protagonist?

No, are you really the protagonist?

“Kazuma!”

Huihui screamed and rushed over, kneeling beside him and calling his name repeatedly.

"What happened... Kazuma is dead?!"

Darkness and Aqua also ran over, and their faces were filled with sorrow when they saw Kazuma's body.

"How could this happen?"

Jiang Li was dumbfounded.

Judging from Kazuma's breath, he was really dead. Even the panacea couldn't save him. He was completely helpless!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the griffin fell to the ground not far away, dying.

Yasaka Airi jumped off its back, her face filled with satisfaction. The few scars on her body healed automatically without even any healing magic.

"I had a great time!"

She waved her hand, indicating that Jiang Li could do as he pleased.

The purpose of their taking on the mission was to help Jiang Li level up, so the final blow had to be delivered by Jiang Li.

In this world, every living thing has its own soul, so even food like vegetable sticks has its own self and aggression.

If you end its life activities, you can obtain a part of its soul memory, which is also experience points.

Once you have accumulated enough experience points, you can level up.

By the way, it is much easier to level up as an adventurer than any other profession, and the experience points required for each level-up are the least among the same professions.

Jiang Li stepped forward and held out his wand.

“——Explosion!”

Suddenly, a huge explosion of fire fell from the sky and hit the griffin, completely taking away the dying griffin.

A huge flame of magical power erupted, stirring up a scorching storm and leaving behind a huge crater about twenty meters in diameter on the ground!

Jiang Li was disheveled in the wind.

The raised wand froze there awkwardly, neither striking nor releasing it.

"Pfft!"

Yasaka Airi put on her cloak again and couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

"hiss……!"

Jiang Li took a deep breath.

His eyes gradually turned cold and he turned to look at the loli with black hair and red eyes.

"...Why are you lying on the ground?"

"Magic power is exhausted."

Huihui lay limply on the ground, smiling proudly when she heard that.

"Explosion magic is humanity's most powerful offensive method, and it's also what my soul pursues. Unfortunately, it consumes too much magic power. Even with the magic power of the Red Demon Clan's number one genius, I can only produce one explosion per day. What a pity!"

"So, you have a problem with me?"

Jiang Li nodded to show his understanding, and then asked.

"No."
