Bab 31: 4 Men Vs 4 Girls Part 2
"You are now poisoned, Ryuma Ochirou. Give up now or you'll die a dog death if you're going to not give up right now." Said Xenyi who was still standing on the top of the burned house. The poisons from Ryuma's pinky finger that's been bitten by the small snake earlier have started to spread.
Ryuma then takes the countermeasure by ripping off his clothes and tightly binding his arm to prevent the poisons from spreading. Ryuma then decided to change the topic...
"That weird energy, that thing isn't mana, right? Xenyi remains silent and decides to summon another beast...
"Summon: Pig! Orc Beast... Attack him!" Xenyi summons Orc Beast and commands it to attack Ryuma. But that is not the only card she got...
"Summon: Dog! Summon: Rooster! Wild Hound and Flame Cockatrice, Follow the attack from the rear!" As the beasts receive commands from Xenyi, the three beasts attack Ryuma from different directions.
"GAAAH!" The Orc Beast swings his axe vertically but is avoided by Ryuma. Ryuma kicked the Orc's knee and punched him in the chin. At the same time, the Wild Hound is charging toward Ryuma's right side. Ryuma barely avoided the bite but as he fell to the ground he kicked the Hound on the chin.
The Flame Cockatrice that is flying on the left side shoots a couple of fireballs. Ryuma saw the fireballs and jumped over them as he barely got up from falling. But as Ryuma was still in midair, the Orc took this opportunity and swung the axe toward Ryuma.
"Khk!!!" Ryuma blocked the axe swing but was still sent flying by the swing's power. That attack leaves a deep-cut wound on both of his hands.
("It fucking hurts damnit! I underestimate those beasts! It's like they synchronize well with each attack like they all have one mind! Wait... mind?") Ryuma realizes something and decides to retreat from the area. But of course, Xenyi wouldn't just let Ryuma run like that.
"I won't let you go! Cockatrice, spray the fire on him!"
"COOOOOK!" The Cockatrice sprays a huge amount of fire but the fire still doesn't hit Ryuma as Ryuma runs away from the fire. A few minutes pass and Ryuma has managed to lost from the Cockatrice's sight. Ryuma managed to sneak into the dark alley and let out a sigh of relief.
"Huuuuuh... I've managed to lose them, for now. But the problem is these wounds, come along with the poisons, I don't know if I actually can survive or not. After Ryuma rests a bit, he sneakily moves around the village. Ryuma then coincidentally found a bag.
"Wait, that bag is..." Ryuma looked around and found out he was in the same house where they four had hidden earlier. Ryuma quickly opens the bag and smiles like he has his eyes on the national treasure.
"Lucky~ Thank you for the potions, Mika." At the same time, a couple of fireballs have come towards Ryuma. Ryuma barely dodged the fireballs although, one of the fireballs had managed to hit him on the leg.
"Shit! I've been found out! Fireball!" Ryuma shoots a couple of fireballs on the Cockatrice. But none of them were hit. Ryuma decides to run away once again but he's been blocked by the Orc Beast in front of him. Now, Ryuma was surrounded by the Orc in front of him and Cockatrice behind him.
And then, without realizing it, The Wild Hound comes from the window of the burned house. The Hound bites Ryuma on the left hand. Ryuma groaned in pain as he kicked the hound. The Orc followed up with the swings but Ryuma managed to dodge it. But it didn't end as the Cockatrice sprayed a fire on Ryuma.
Desperate times for desperate measures, Ryuma quickly jumped into the house from the window the Hound came from. Xenyi who is far away from them has seen Ryuma jump through the window from the Cockatrice's point of view.
"Cockatrice, burned the house once again." Taking orders from Xenyi, the Cockatrice immediately sprays the fire on the house Ryuma was in. After a while, the house was immediately burned to ashes. Anybody can tell that whoever is in that house has definitely not survived that. Xenyi was uncertain if Ryuma was dead yet so she sent one of the summons to go check on him.
"Rat, go into the house and search for a body. Others, surround the house so he can't sneak out." It was the grey rat that's been watching Ryuma and the others from the farm before. The rat is searching for the supposedly Ryuma's corpse which has been burnt out. But it was nowhere to be found.
Xenyi who has been watching from the rat's eyes started to worried."He's not here... The body is not here! Did he escape while the house was on fire?! But how?!!" Xenyi then realized there was something more like some hole in the corner of the house.
"There was a hatch... So there's a basement in this house. Orc Beast, Smash the floor house. It will make him caught off guard if he wants to launch a surprise attack." The Orc smash the floor to bits. Along with the Cockatrice spray flame on the entire basement.
The smoke from the flame has been blown out. But there's still no sight of Ryuma or his corpse."Where is he... Wait, there is a door in the basement?" Xenyi sent the Orc to check on the door. Behind the door, It seemed there was a hallway that led to multiple directions.
Xenyi sent her entire summons to check every path of the hallway. There was a door that led to every house in the village."W-What's with this hallway? What's the reason that women created these?!" And then a voice answered Xenyi's question.
"Oh, didn't you know? It was an emergency path in case the bandit tried to raid the village." Xenyi immediately had his guard up. But unfortunately, the stone hit the bar where she was standing and she immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground.
While Xenyi was busy trying to get up, Ryuma immediately took this as an opportunity and attacked her. Xenyi who just got up from the fall saw that Ryuma was trying to throw a punch at her. She misdirects the punch with her hand and counters Ryuma with her palm. But the counter was unsuccessful as Ryuma blocked her attack.
"Hoh, so you knew martial arts too?" Xenyi who apparently learned martial arts decides to fight Ryuma in close combat, along with the dagger on her hand. A few minutes passed, and Xenyi barely standing on her two legs had a few bruises on her body. It seems Ryuma won in the close combat despite Xenyi being armed with a dagger.
Xenyi just realized that the wound has healed and poisons on Ryuma have gone."You... How did you-"
"Oh, if you're talking about the poison and the wound... I have this bag." Ryuma showed the contents of the bag and there were a few glasses of empty potion in it.
"The healing potion... And anti-poison potion. Thanks to these both the wounds and poison on my body have gone. And..." Ryuma showed the badge. Xenyi immediately realized that her badge had been taken.
