Chapter 288 - A Howl in the Snowy Plains 8. A Silver Valkyrie?

What Yuri had completely forgotten due to the rapid pace of events was the "Blessing" bestowed upon him. And the magic tool he had prepared to deal with its side effect. He had completely, utterly forgotten to activate the impression-jamming magic tool.

When it rains, it pours, and just as Yuri loftily raised his Mottled Blade Sword, the young master, Walter Sorensam, a.k.a. Wally, who was being dragged away by "Lucky Footsteps," lifted his head and saw the figure in the direction the Tyrantbot was looking. The valiant figure of a lovely Valkyrie, bravely confronting the monster with sword held high! sound effect

"Oh… that is…"

The young master, Wally, was momentarily captivated, but he was immediately pulled away roughly, breaking his line of sight. "Lucky Footsteps" did not want the troublesome young master to see Yuri. So they intentionally moved to block his view, providing follow-up so that Yuri could act without worry for what was behind him. The young master didn’t understand the hidden circumstances, but since he had no objection to fleeing the scene, he meekly allowed himself to be dragged along.

(Well… as long as the idiot master’s party, the witnesses, are around, I can’t use Rock Spear or Stealth, so…)

He glanced in their direction and saw that although they were quite far away, the party was still visible. This meant that they could also see him.

(If they would just disappear quickly, I could fight a little more easily…)

Yuri couldn’t help but click his tongue, but the Tyrantbot, seeing this, seemed to take it as an insult, and after letting out a roar of angry intimidation…

"It disappeared… huh…"

The Tyrantbot’s specialty, a surprise attack after hiding itself. To do such a thing, flaunting it when he himself couldn't use Stealth yet…

Of course, the Tyrantbot had no such intention.

But Yuri, feeling an irrational anger, used Perception and Investigation to easily pinpoint the Tyrantbot’s location and laid down a barrage of Rock Bullets that would make a 20mm Vulcan cannon proud. Kudol had forbidden him from using Rock Spear, but Rock Bullet, being more basic and less powerful, should be no problem at all.

Of course, it was a huge problem.

A single Rock Bullet might be one thing, but a barrage of nearly ten Rock Bullets per second was not something an ordinary magician could do. Even though there was some distance, the snow smoke created by the impact of countless Rock Bullets was impossible to hide, and it was visible even to "Lucky Footsteps," who were desperately fleeing.

(That idiot, Yuri! What in the world did he do!?)

Here he was, working so hard to distract the idiot master’s eyes, and Yuri goes and pulls a flashy barrage that could ruin everything. Kudol held his head in his hands, but fortunately, or unfortunately, the idiot master Wally himself was…

(Oh… she is fighting. …Is that the power of a Valkyrie…)

He was filled with a completely misplaced sense of admiration and awe.

Regardless of the respective feelings of the idiot master and Kudol and the others, the Tyrantbot, which was on the receiving end of the unexpected barrage, was not feeling calm. Having absolute confidence in its surprise attacks from hiding, to have it seen through so easily and then be showered with an incomprehensible focused fire meant it could no longer remain composed. To make matters worse, Yuri, seeing that the distance from the idiot master had sufficiently increased, had the audacity to use Stealth against the Tyrantbot. It was as if he were showing it how a surprise attack was really done. Yuri intended it as payback for earlier, but to the Tyrantbot, it was like being given notice of assassination.

In such a situation, the available options are few.

The Tyrantbot spun around on the spot and… fled for its life.
