The Adventures of Clara

Night Without Sleep

23.55

"It looks bad."

"Not like it anymore, Commander."

A huge explosion had not long ago crushed the giant tent into ashes. Somehow the fate of the people who are in it.

But the knights outside did not have time to worry about them. Because immediately after the explosion appeared strange creatures that seemed unlikely to be friendly.

"Do you know what that is?"

"Of course."

"Not useful."

"You're the same."

A gigantic horse-shaped creature lunged towards them, attempting to break through the encirclement formation. His jet-black body was nearly four meters in size. On his back were hundreds of eyes peering in all directions.

"Oi, oi, this is bad."

"Wanna try?"

"Please."

"You want me dead? Please Commander first."

"Sad."

Instead of dodging the Commander actually came crashing towards the horse monster. The two almost collided. At the last moment the Commander managed to dodge to the side while performing a vertical slash.

The monster grimaced in pain. The resulting wounds are deep. But this was still not enough to stop the monster.

"It's your turn!"

"Oh my God ...."

Contrary to his complaints, the Adjutant also ran towards the monster just like his superior. Then he jumped up and did an acrobatic movement in the air.

[War Gods Technique: 3rd Movement]

The Adjutant landed gracefully before finally putting his sword back where it was.

"GRAAAA!"

In the blink of an eye dozens of cuts were formed on the monster's body, tampa for mercy took his life.

"Squeaky. Cool Sok."

"What a power."

A black fog emerged from the corpse of the horse monster enveloping his entire body. More precisely, the horse monster's body evaporated to nothing.

"so. So this is a dream monster."

"Huh? This it? Weaker than expected."

"There may be a problem with the device. Wouldn't it be better if you helped the others right away?"

"Oi. Who's the commander here."

Of course this monster is classified as weak for the size of the Commander and Adjutant. But to the other soldiers they were challenging opponents.

According to interpretation, what this monster should be at the B-rank. But for whatever reason they became so weak that they dropped to C-rank.

In addition to the horse monsters, there were also crab monsters, jerked humanoids, and slime monsters. Everything is at C-level. The number is in the tens range and continues to grow constantly.

"Let's bet on who kills the most!"

"Are you a child?"

"Eh, you don't know? That man's soul will never change and forever childish."

"Please apologize immediately to all the men in the world."

"Yep. Let's hit that slime first."

The yellow-colored slime monster was three meters in size. His core body is only about twice the size of a basketball. The rest is highly corrosive slime. To kill him one had to destroy his core body. Most knights had trouble handling it because they could not break through the mucus defenses.

But of course this monster is still no match for our one Commander.

"Hey! Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!"

"You guys be careful there. Don't get too close to that crazy boy."

"I hear you!"

Fierce battles Happened. Of course it's fierce for the other soldiers, not for the Commander.

[War Gods Technique: 2nd Movement]

The Adjutant also began to get serious. He ran to slaughter the dream monsters that were blocking his way.

Still, fatigue began to pile up on him. His movements became increasingly slow and dull.

When his count reached 25, he stopped to calm his tribe and his volatile senses.

"Huh? Whahuh? Tired already?"

Of course one would not miss the opportunity to mock him. But let it be, he is already seven points ahead.

He was observing the conditions around.

A knight tried to stop a horse monster from lashing out but was ill-fated to turn into stone before it was finally smashed to pieces. The slightly stalled horse was then tied in chains by the other knights. No matter how hard the rebellious monster tried the chain could not be released. Two projectiles finally hit his body. Ending a very short life.

The slimy giant was the most troublesome. It was because 80 percent of his body was slime that most of the knight attacks were ineffective. In addition, the mucus in his body is also very corrosive. To defeat him the witches work together to make a big hole and bury them alive. Even if they somehow managed to survive it was a matter to think about later on.

The other group of knights tried to kill the jerked creature. But suddenly the knight who became the vanguard disappeared mysteriously. A moment later screams of pain and blood spots emerged from the empty air. The jerked creature who saw the opportunity followed up by capturing two knights who were trying to retreat, crushing them like cake dough. The surviving knights were in a state of panic. The unknown opponent was the most terrifying.

"What the fuck."

The Adjutant tries to help but is hindered by distance. With this exhausted body it was impossible for him to cover this distance in an instant.

Another knight disappeared again. The previous events repeated. The remaining three people looked desperate.

Fortunately, reinforcements were coming soon.

The creature suddenly fell. A large hole formed in his stomach. The culprit is,

"Cody!"

The adjutant who had just come shouted his name. I don't know when her hair became curly. His clothes were torn apart with burns here and there. He's the Deputy Captain of the Judgment Unit, Cody.

"The situation is a bit worrying, uh."

"So you survived. What about the others?"

"One dead. The rest are wounded."

Cody raised his right hand. From there a burning fire was formed.

[Burn]

He pointed his right hand towards the ground. The flames engulfed the ground, no, the mastermind behind the mysterious disappearance of the knight.

After being burned to the point of scorching the monster finally appeared. His body was five meters long with huge thorns on his back. For now let's just call it a chameleon monster.

"Oh, yeah. Captain chasing Blackjack."

"Don't you have to stop him?"

"Leave it. Here's what we're talking about."

"Yes. You're right."

"Oi! What are you guys doing! The other knights are fighting desperately and you guys here are even lazy!"

"Ba-Cot ...."

Ignoring the voice of the mysterious being Cody and the Adjutant focused his attention on the messenger who was running all over the battlefield.

"THE ORDER OF THE MAYOR! ALL THE KNIGHTS RETREATED SLOWLY! LET THE CITY GUARDS TAKE OVER! THE ORDER OF THE MAYOR ...."

"City guards? Will they be able to withstand these monsters?"

"Either. But at least they won the amount. This is good too. Rest is important."

In accordance with the orders of the Mayor, the city guards slowly began to take over the defensive line of the knights.

Cody and the Adjutants also retreated towards the headquarters. Of course, he did not forget to warn the mysterious creatures who were still there and hunting monsters.

"Commander. It's dinner time."
