Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 7: An Unlucky Day



Chapter 7: An Unlucky Day

This day was the unluckiest day of my life. Us adventurers were in the middle of the trip home on an escort mission, traveling from the Empire to the Kingdom. We were already more than halfway through our week-long trip. However, at a campsite two days away from our destination, we unluckily ended up encountering goblins.

Goblins arent really threatening monsters. In terms of power, an ordinary farmer is a lot stronger. And dont mention magic, they dont even have the intelligence to use bows. Theyre the lowest E Rank on the Monster Ranking System established by the Adventurers Guild, weak to the point that even the Training Schools brats could probably beat them if well prepared.

However, thats only if theres just one of them. The goblins tend to swarm together. And when they do, theyre just as much of a threat as any other monster. Three of them and its D Rank, seven of them and its already acknowledged as C Rank. But right now, just roughly counting, theres fifteen of them in front of us. Its probably already in the classification of B Rank, and if we leave them be, a King would probably rise up.

A goblin alone is weak. Theyre dumb and powerless. But when they form a swarm, they get stronger and a leader rises up. The leader is brutal, sly, and cunning. He grants the other weapons to fight, wisdom to use magic, and he tramples down upon the weak. The goblins multiply fast, and the more they increase the stronger the King gets.

There are records of a country destroyed by a Goblin King leading a swarm of more than a thousand goblins. Thats why the Adventurers Guild has released a permanent request to kill on sight, but their reproductive ability surpasses even that.

Its likely that these ones were lucky enough to remain undetected, breeding until the swarm reached its current size. But as for me, I can only call it bad luck.

Gha!? Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From my side, I can hear my friend Grey groaning and Lyshas shriek from behind. Grey and I are both knights, but perhaps worn out from the unexpected raid, it seems like his stomach was stabbed by the goblins crude sword. Lysha and Grey are pretty intimate so I thought maybe it was just an overreaction, but this is quite bad.

Most of a goblins weapons are crude, chipped, and rusted. They dont do any decent maintenance on them. And because of that, if youre wounded by their weapons, theres a hundred percent chance for you to get infected by some disease. If its just the limbs, then its still fine. But if you end up getting stabbed in the stomach, you need to have it healed immediately or else youll most probably die. And in our party, there isnt anyone capable of using Healing Magic Arts. Greys not going to survive. Upon realizing that, Lysha broke down. She wont be any use in this fight anymore.

This is the worst. Dammit Why did this have to happen

Todays the worst day of my life. Thats what I thought up until now. The feeling of losing a comrade. The feeling of being unable to finish our job due to my own weakness. Ive probably been a bit too careless since weve been a bit famous lately. And what it resulted was this. Even if I start regretting now, its already too late. Thats what I thought.

And at this moment, I heard a voice.

Ill assist!!

In the cold depths of despair, that voice seemed to have pulled us out. To find the owner of that voice, I looked around the area but there was nobody nearby. No, there is. An almost child-like innocent looking girl. With pink hair emphasized by the dim darkness, clothes that dont cover much her pure white skin, and overshadowing them all, are her remarkably clear golden eyes.

Dont come here, run! I was about to yell so. If a young girl like her is caught by the goblins, what would happen next is perfectly obvious. Assault, , and then just discarded like a worn-out rag. Thats why I was about to tell her so, but the effect of the spell she chanted shut down my thought process.

I ask, for the power to repel the injustice before us; I beg, for the atrocity right before us, to Freeze!!

The moment that Magic Art activated, the goblins stopped moving all at once. No, they were forced to stop. Theres not even a single blink, its as if their time was forcibly stopped. Only one cast of Magic and that young girl immobilized ten-odd goblins in just an instant.

If it was one of Twelve Sages of Aureitas, then it might have been possible. And maybe the Empires Imperial Court Wizards couldve pulled through, but right in front of me is still a young girl. If shes already this strong, what kind of beast would she turn out in the future?

Even my comrades have their jaws dropped open, still dumbfounded and in shock. Especially our Mage Arisa, the shock she received mustve been too much.

And the girl herself doesnt seem to understand what she has done as she approached the dumbfounded us with a light trot.

Haa, Thank god it went well. Are you alright?

I was so out of it, I couldnt remember much after that. When that girl noticed Grey suffering in pain collapsed next Lysha, she immediately ran towards them. After muttering something for a while, she held out her hands and used Healing Magic Arts. Without any Magic Power Medium nor any Magic Circle too.

I dont even understand whats happening anymore, but only this I know. Today may have been my unluckiest day ever, but still, its not the worst day of my life.
