Chapter 71

71 – Dungeon of Test (5)

「Kiiiii!」

The giant bats got caught up in the wind magic, whirled up and crashed into the ceiling .

Tina’s strongest wind magic turned out to be Magic Tornado .

「Hou!」

I was considerably surprised, as Tina had thought to combine powerful Wind Cutter in the attack .

The magic tornado created a powerful whirlpool of wind, and wind cutters ran free within the whirlpool .

It was a magic skill which was super compatible with wind cutter .

Those who can shoot magic tornado at the same age as Tina are extremely rare .

As far as I know, with the exception of myself, only Small Sage Milt could do it .

Moreover, Tina’s magic tornado was fairly powerful .

However, due to the dizziness caused by the giant bats’ invisible attack, she could not control it .

Wind cutters started projecting out of the magic tornado boisterously all over the surroundings .

I erected a barrier which protects Rosetta, Arti, me, and Tina, the caster of the wind cutter .

Tina’s magic tornado lasted for about 10 seconds and then settled down .

Perhaps due to using up all her strength, Tina planted both her palms on the ground and started breathing raggedly .

Looking at the two giant bats which fell to the ground, Tina asked .

「…Did I take them out?」

「Not yet」

Roughly at the same time Arti answered, the two giant bats rose up and started to dash .

Each of their four pairs of wings has all been tattered . Although other parts of their body is also injured, they are still quite fast .

They charged at Tina with incredible momentum .

「I won’t let you!」

Rosetta stopped one of them by its fangs with her short sword .

The remaining one ran past Rosetta and pressed onwards to Tina .

And Arti sent it flying with a kick . Then, she used her sword for a follow-up attack .

「KIIIIiiii… . 」

In the blink of an eye, Arti dealt the killing blow .

However, Rosetta was still scuffling with the last giant bat .

「Are you okay?」

「I am fine!」

Thanks to Tina’s wind magic, the giant bat was weakened .

Its speed and strength had decreased .

Hence, Rosetta was able to maintain the upper hand in the fight .

When the giant bat swings down a large arc with its claws, Rosetta’s repels it with her short sword .

She sidesteps the fangs, and slashes at the giant bat’s unguarded neck .

However, immediately after sidestepping, Rosetta’s posture made it difficult to deal significant damage .

In addition, the giant bat’s neck was covered in thick fur with thick bristle .

Thus it wasn’t a fatal wound .

Even so, Rosetta dealt a good amount of damage .

I moved over to Tina, who had used up all her strength and carefully watched over Rosetta, so that I can step in if necessary .

「With this! You’re finished!」

The intense fight between Rosetta and the giant bat comes to an end .

Rosetta finally dealt a fatal blow .

「Kiiii… . 」

「Haahaa… . haahaa」

Rosetta, now dyed in the blood of the giant bat, started breathing heavily .

「Good job… Is anyone hurt?」

「I am alright . It is just scratches」

「Thanks to everyone, I am also alright」

Rosetta and Tina replied with exhaustion on their faces .

「I am unhurt」

Arti had already started dismantling the four giant bats .

「That’s good to hear . Rosetta, Tina, come over here . I want to check just in case」

While saying so, I checked Arti for any wounds .

As expected of Arti, she did not have a single scratch on her .

Rosetta and Tina came over to us .

「That’s fine but… What do you wish to check for?」

「By all means, you can check for whatever」Tina said .

I examine Rosetta and Tina for injuries with magic .

Rosetta had minor injuries and she was bleeding due to being grazed by the claws .

Due to falling down on her knees, Tina had several cuts on her knees .

「First, we’ll start with the simple one . Tina will be alright with just a heal」

I cast heal on Tina first .

「T-Thank you… But, there wasn’t really a need to cast heal」

「Wounds are risky in many ways . This is especially true when dealing with giant bats」

「Is that so?」

Tina tilted her head .

It can’t be helped as Tina was unaware about the ecology of the giant bat .

「Giant Bats are carriers of infectious disease」

I looked at Rosetta’s expression as I said .

「Rosetta, you are doused in quite a bit of blood there」

「I am still inexperienced . How embarrassing」

「It will feel a little cold, so endure it」

I create water with magic and warm it up just a little, and dash it all over Rosetta to wash away the blood .

「It wasn’t too cold . Thank you」

「That’s good then」

There is no need to dry her off .

As it was pseudo-water created with magic, it disappears as soon as the magic supply is cut off .

「M-Magic sure is amazing . I am completely dry」

「Because the water was made with magic . Although I want to save magic, I also want to save water」

But right now, I have a surplus of magic pool compared to water .

If the healer Tina, who has used up all her magic had been alone, then she should not hesitate to use water instead .

I explained about such things .

「Having a mage sure is convenient!」

「Rosetta, that is an overestimation of mages . Will-sama is an exception」

「Is that so? No, I am aware that Will is amazing, but…」

As Tina began explaining my amazingness, Arti returned .
