Incubus Banishment

Chapter 14 – UterusUrgent Examination Part 1

Level 80 Herculean Warrior.

I was taken aback by those words.

Because that level was clearly too excessive for an examiner whose task was to weed out people without any promise.

Looking from just the number, it was the same level with Armor Ant – Platoon, but the level of monster and human couldn’t be compared so simply.

Just like how Alicia who had just obtained her Gift could easily defeat level 40 Armor Ant, what greatly influenced human’s combat strength was the Gift’s latent potential and the skill composition.

Herculean Warrior was categorized as very excellent Gift for close range combat. And those at level 80 with such Gift must be someone very strong.

I heard that being an examiner wouldn’t give you that much income. Such young and strong person shouldn’t be doing this kind of job…….

Even so in the end this was just an exam for adventurer registration.

We didn’t need to win no matter what, and penis sword that might draw attention in a bad way had to be kept as a trump card.

It was a good chance to learn just how far the physical strength of Incubus that had reached level 75 could go using my newly procured weapon.

As I fired up myself like that,

「Let me tell you beforehand.」

Behind the guild.

There was a clearing that could be used as a training ground there. The examiner Rainy Emerald-san faced us before giving a warning once more.

「I’m not good with holding back. Yesterday I also unconsciously got too excit……put too much strength that the young examinees got their weapons broken along with their arms from blocking my attack. On top of that they still whined insistently even after they got rejected, so I ended up thoroughly, very thoroughly physically teaching them how scary adventurer is……even though as the one doing the breaking it also greatly pained my heart. Let me ask you again, are you really going to take the exam?」

Why is someone like this serving as examiner?

She was satisfactory as an opponent to test myself against, but she was still a bit scary as a person…….

Did that thinking inside my heart showed in my expression? The receptionist lady who was present here as the referee quietly opened her mouth.

「The contract period for examiner is long, and on top of that this job doesn’t provide that much pay, so nobody want to do it. In that regard, Miss Rainy volunteered for the job every year for some reason, which is convenient for the guild. She’s also doing great job in breaking the heart of troublesome examinees who don’t know when to give up. Together with their bones.」

The receptionist lady talked about the situation behind the scene while asking 「Umm, if you’re going to quit then you better do it now you know……?」 the last confirmation with concern for me.

But I replied 「Thank you very much」 to that while standing at the middle of the clearing along to show my will. I left behind Alicia at the edge of the clearing.

Then Rainy-san made a puzzled expression with her pretty face.

「? What’s wrong? This examination is for testing the strength of the whole party, so it’s fine for you two to come at me at the same time you know? Or rather, you won’t be able to do anything unless you do that.」

I replied resolutely at Rainy-san’s question.

「I don’t think that I can win but……I want to try fighting you one on one.」

One on one duel was the best to test strength, and if possible I didn’t really want to advertise Alicia’s true strength too much. If I showed enough strength by myself, then my party member Alicia should also receive a passing mark──partly because of that, I asked Rainy-san for a one on one duel.

Like that I took a stance with the sword that Weips-san gave me. Right at that moment.

The atmosphere around Rainy-san became exceedingly cold and merciless.

「You……looks like just breaking one or two bones won’t be enough to make this kid understand. Very well, let’s begin the exam!」

Rainy-san said that and her hands held two large iron clubs.

They were clubs with slender handheld while thick at the end, just like the club that goblins often used.

Rainy-san’s clubs weren’t made from wood but heavy weapons that were forged from tempered steel.

It was a multi-purpose weapon that wouldn’t get chipped like bladed weapon that used its weight to crush the opponent together with their weapon and armor, and it could also be used for weapon using its solidness.

The powerful weapon could only be used well for the first time with the power of Herculean Warrior. With such weapons in hands, Rainy-san closed the distance as soon as the exam began. It was a speed that was unthinkable from someone who was holding two of such mass of metal.

「Accept this adventurer’s baptism obediently.」

*GOH──!*

With a speed as though she was only swinging around a wooden branch, Rainy-san’s iron club swung down. The damage if that attack hit wouldn’t be a joke at all.

But,

(I can follow it──!)

My dynamic vision after leveling up clearly perceived that attack.

The daily training from my family moved my body almost automatically.

I moved my sword to block the approaching club──I feigned like that while parrying that attack with my sword to repel it diagonally.

*DOGOOOOH!*

The steel club missed and hit the ground. The impact shook the guild.

At the same time, the receptionist lady couldn’t endure the impact and fell on her butt with a cry.

「Wha-……!? He parried Rainy-san’s crazy strength……!? A-a coincidence……!?」

Most likely I should have received a passing mark already with this.

But the receptionist lady was stunned in shock. In addition Rainy-san’s eyes widened while,

「This is……tsu! It seems that my eyes has dulled after doing the examiner job for too long.」

Her gaze changed.

She looked straight at me. Reflected in her eyes wasn’t an ignorant kid anymore, but warrior who was her equal.

As though to apologize for all her rudeness until now, Rainy-san made her whole body brimming with strength.

「HAAAAAAAAH!」

Rainy-san swung down the steel club with a cry of fighting spirit.

The speed and power of that attack were incomparable from her first attack.

Forget about blocking it with weapon, normally just getting scratched from that could break the opponent’s weapon and body.

But even that attack could be clearly perceived by my leveled up ability.

If there was any problem……

(An attack this strong……will my arm and weapon hold from parrying it……!?)

Even if it carried the risk of driving me into a one-sided defensive battle, it would be safer for me to focus fully on evasion.

But there would be no meaning in me facing someone this strong if I did that.

I blocked Rainy-san’s attack head-on once more.

*GYARIRIRIRIRIRI-!*

「Guh──!」

Fierce sparks scattered when the metal club grazed the flat side of my sword.

A terrible impact assaulted both my hands even though I should have parried the attack.

But.

The sword that Weips-san gave me and my leveled up body managed to endure the impact without difficulty.

「Tsu!? You managed to parry even this attack unharmed!?」

Rainy-san’s voice was filled with astonishment.

I quickly put strength into my legs.

「YAAAAAAAAAAH!」

With the attack that she unleashed with almost all of her power parried, Rainy-san’s lost her balance just a little. I leaped toward her bosom and sent a strike with my short sword on her armor. But,

*GAKIIIIN!*

Her other steel club blocked my attack.

(Not good!)

If I allowed her to bring this into sword locking contest, the Herculean Warrior’s physical strength would send me flying.

I immediately tried to pull back my weapon but……

「Eh?」

The next moment, I let out a stupid voice.

Because the sword that should have been blocked by the Herculean Warrior wasn’t stopping at all.

「Wha──!?」

And then Rainy-san let out her voice with even more shock than me as though to say 「Impossible」. Right at that moment.

*BUON!* My sword that finished swinging to the end sent Rainy-san flying like a bullet.

「KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

*DOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!*

Rainy-san crashed hard on the tall wall that was surrounding the guild.

The wall burst and her figure got buried under the rubble.

………………Eh?
