“Don’t be afraid! C-rankers surround it! Close the distance! You won’t be able to control it if it rushes at you! Adventurers on the wall keep attacking! Don’t hit your allies Do it carefully!” (Waller)

 

 

　Every adventurer begins to move to the Guild Master’s cry.

 

　The vanguard adventurers each pulled out their weapons and rushed toward the Great Boar, with the adventurers with shields in the center.
Then the adventurers on the wall put in well-aimed shots.

 

 

　The adventurer next to me draws his bow with a jerk and fires an arrow at the Great Boar.

 

　The arrow pierced the Great Boa’s side, but it only seemed to penetrate about 10 centimeters.
It was probably blocked by the underlying fat, so it didn’t do any real damage.

 

　The other archers were firing arrows one after another, but either they bounced off the fur or just pierced the surface.

 

　Similarly, the magic that the wizards were casting was also ineffective.
The arrow type magic, which is a higher level of the ball type magic, seems to penetrate deeper than the archer’s arrows, but the number of adventurers who can fire it is too small.

 

 

“Bugiiiii!” (Great Boar)

 

 

　At that moment, the Great Boar swung its two front legs into the air and stood up on two legs, looking firmly ahead and squeezing its body as if it were gathering momentum.

 

 

“It’s going to charge! Shield bearers! Somebody block it!” (Waller)

 

 

　Such an unreasonable command! Aside from me, an adventurer with a white tower shield comes forward, raises his shield in his left hand, holds a sword in his right hand.
He lowered his center while supporting the shield.

　That can’t be!? This person will willing to take the charge!

 

　The moment the Great Boar’s front foot slowly swings down and strikes the ground.
Making use of the recoil, the Great Boar rushes forward with a thunderous earth-shaking rumble.

 

　And then.

 

 

“Uooooryaaaaa!” (Tower Shield Adventurer)

 

 

　The adventurer with the white tower shield roared and thrust his shield forward with his body.

 

　At that moment, the Great Boar’s forehead and the adventurer’s tower shield collided with an ear-shattering clang.

 

 

“Oooooooooooooooooooooo!” (Tower Shield Adventurer)

 

“Bumoooo!” (Great Boar)

 

 

　The strength of the Great Boar and the adventurer clashed, and their movements came to a standstill.

 

　But a few moments later, the Great Boar swung to scoop up the tip of its snout, and the adventurer was thrown several meters away.

 

　Seriously?　Even though there was no assistance, that adventurer, even for a moment, completely caught the Great Boar’s charge.
And he completely blocked the Great Boar from running!

 

　Is this the power of a C-rank adventurer?

 

　This is…

 

　…I see.
This is the power of a level up… the power of the [Goddess’s Blessing].

 

　This is the thing is that I am definitely lacking right now…

　The adventurer with the white tower shield was quickly helped up and is being treated by a robed old man in the back.

 

　It seems that he was not safe from the blow.

 

　An adventurer with a large kite shield entered the place where he had been.

 

　And an adventurer with a spear is restraining it with thrusts from around it.

 

 

“Hah!” (Spearman)

 

 

　The adventurer on the Great Boar’s flank seized the moment and drove his spear deep into the Great Boar’s belly.

 

 

“Bumoo!” (Great Boar)

 

 

　An angry Great Boar glared at him and vigorously snapped its snout.

 

 

“Oh!”

 

 

　The adventurer who had thrust the spear into the ground rolled away in the nick of time, but a part of the wooden building behind him collapsed with a crashing noise.

 

　In this place where the width of the road is only about six meters, even if it is the main street, if the Great Boar’s consciousness deviates to the side, the building will immediately incur damages.

 

 

“Don’t focus on one side! Go on the other side! Surround it well! Attack from all directions!” (Waller)

　Swiftly at the Guild Master’s instructions, The adventurer on the other side hurriedly thrust his spear into the Great Boar, distracting it.

 

　And again, an adventurer in front draws its attention with his spear, and damage accumulates from the spear and long-range attacks.

 

 

 

 

　How much time had passed since then?

 

　Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour, two hours?

 

　The tense time continued for so long that I can no longer sense the passage of time.

 

 

　Since then, the Great Boar has attempted to charge forward several times, each time being met by several adventurers in turn with their shields, while adventurers from the sides and behind take a minor injury, but it is far from fatal…

 

　The Great Boar looked wounded and tired, but the adventurers were even more exhausted.

 

 

　I looked to my left and right.

 

　The adventurers who had been unleashing magic were sitting down.
They were out of magic.

 

　None of the adventurers with bows were shooting arrows.
The arrows had run out.

 

　And the Guild Master is staring at the Great Boar through clenched teeth as if he’s going to slay it somehow, but he’s not shouting orders like he did the first time.

 

　I looked at the Great Boar again.

 

　Its body was pierced by many arrows, and there were countless wounds all over, and those wounds were still increasing, but they were not the kind of wounds that would greatly weaken the Great Boar’s movements.
To put it bluntly, the reality is that the best we can do is keep the Great Boar in this place.

　Everyone is becoming aware of this fact.

 

　The Guild Master and others, for example, must have already realized that they were at a loss.
That’s why the guild master can’t give any more orders and can only stare at the Great Bore with his fists clenched.

 

　The morale of the adventurers, which had been so high at first, was quickly dropping.
The word “despair” was creeping closer and closer with each passing moment.

 

 

　If we don’t find a way to break this stalemate, we’re going to end up dead.

 

　Is there anything we can do?　Something, anything at all…

 

　I went around and around in my head, trying to think of something.

 

 

　And at that moment, I came up with an idea that I wished I didn’t come up with.

 

 

“That’s… ah! Damn it!”

 

 

　Why did I come up with this idea? That could possibly… work, but I don’t want to do it.
What happens if I fail? Oh… God, why–?

 

　At that moment.
It was then that I spotted Dan among the many adventurers.

 

　Dan was holding his sword and shield, gritting his teeth and desperately slashing at the Great Boar over and over again.

 

　He hadn’t given up yet.

 

 

“… Ah, shit! Then I have no choice but to do it!”

 

 

 

　I then angrily threw the iron spear at the Great Boar.
