74. Character Attributes Should Be Narrowed Down To One, Isn’t It?

That was truly a battlefield.

Many lizardmen were defending the largest building in the center of the village.

They were repelling giant frogs invading the swamp with bows and spears, but as the frogs spat out paralyzing liquid, one by one, the lizardmen fell.

“Darn it! Get the paralyzed warriors inside the houses! Anyone who can move, use anything you have! Arrows, pots, throw it all!”

“Jurara! We’re out of oil pots! We can’t use fire anymore!”

“Darn… I never thought there were so many barons!”

“What do we do!? Jurara!?”

“I’m thinking! For now, we need to reduce their numbers!”

“There are hardly any warriors left!”

“Darn it! Should we have all abandoned the village!?”

Even among the warriors defending the log houses, a man with a reptilian appearance shouted with regret.

He looked exactly like the lizardmen described in legends.

“Brother!”

Shururu shouted towards the man.

“Shururu!? Why did you come back!?”

“I brought reinforcements!”

“What… humans!? Shururu! How dare you! And your language!”

“At a time like this!”

Apparently, the sturdy lizardman was Shururu’s brother. However, as Shururu pointed out, it seemed their family was strict enough to correct language even in such a situation. Shururu’s language had felt inconsistent, but it seemed to be a local issue after all.

I wanted to listen leisurely, but time was running out. I interrupted their conversation.

“Listen to me! We are allies! We came to help!”

“Human!?”

“It was believed that the lizardmen had been wiped out! But I met Shururu! Do we need a reason to help those who can communicate!?”

“Gu…!”

Shururu’s brother, called Jurara, choked on his words. Meanwhile, Raidoc and the others were reducing the number of barons surrounding the building.

“Hey, look at that! The barons are being taken down so easily!?”

“No, that liquid is a paralyzing poison! Why isn’t it working!?”

“Human!? Why are you here!? Was the gate breached!?”

“But it seems undeniable that they came to help…”

“Someone inform the village chief!”

“No! This battle has been entrusted to Jurara, the next village chief! Wait for Jurara’s instructions!”

“What do we do!? Jurara!”

“Gu…!”

Boom!

Another booming sound reverberated in my stomach.

“Trouble! The walls won’t hold anymore! Jurara!”

“Understood! I appreciate the assistance! Let them in!”

Jurara made a decision.

Raidoc immediately gave instructions.

“All right! The center and rear guards are inside! Me, Leafan, Camille, and Moda will attack the group attacking that wall!”

“””Yes!!!”””

As planned on the way to the village, we split up.

Raidoc commands outside. I command inside.

“All right! Jitaro, Solar, Eva, Bardock, provide support from above!”

“Roger!”

“Leave it to us!”

The four of them quickly ran up the stairs. As rangers and mages, they would defend the building while supporting Raidoc.

“All right! Beppu and Marilyn, attend to healing immediately! Marilyn, take this!”

I took out as many mana potions as possible from the spatial storage.

“Understood!”

Beppu distributed cure potions and mana potions, while Marilyn drank mana potions voraciously, continuously casting healing spells.

“O… Oh! I can move! I can move!”

“The paralysis is gone!? No way!?”

“Anything will do! Get a spear immediately!”

“Wait! Drink this! It’s an antidote for the poison!”

“Does it work against the barons’ paralyzing poison!?”

“Yes!”

“Thank you, human!”

The lizardmen groaning inside the building began to rise one by one.

“Arrows! Use them!”

I took out arrows from the spatial storage for Solar and Jitaro.

“Wow!”

“Dip the tips in this liquid!”

I took out a small barrel and placed it in front of everyone.

“What’s this?”

“Sharpness oil! Apply it to your spears and swords with cloth!”

“I’ve never heard of it?”

“It’s an oil that improves sharpness! Just apply it! But be careful not to use too much! We don’t have time to make more even if it runs out!”

“I got it!”

While explaining, I took out makeshift alchemical tools.

“What are you doing!?”

“I’m making antidotes and preventative potions! We don’t have enough for everyone with what we have on hand!”

Following Shururu’s instructions, we prioritized potions for the strongest warriors, but no matter how many we made, it wasn’t enough.

“Make them… now!?”

“It’s okay! We have the materials!”

Not only materials, but I also brought intermediate alchemical potions. Spatial storage is truly convenient.

After clearing some space, I arranged them for easy use. The array of colorful potions was enchanting.

“It’s… eerie somehow.”

“Huh?”

It’s strange… these faintly shimmering purple alchemical potions, they don’t look good in the dim building!?

“It’s much more suspicious than from an apothecary, but are you sure it’s safe?”

Since Leafan, who usually defends me, wasn’t here, I felt the discomfort from the surroundings!

“Just watch!”

I activated alchemy in a normal iron pot with materials and intermediate potions.

First, I started with the missing intermediate alchemical potion.

“[Alchemy: Decomposition Fifth Intermediate Alchemical Potion]”

A magic circle appeared above the iron pot, and the liquid inside began to glow.

“Whoa!?”

“What’s this!? Magic…? Sorcery!?”

“No, no, it’s alchemy.”

While reassuring the panicked lizardmen, I didn’t stop working.

With this, all the necessary intermediate potions were ready.

Since there was no alchemical cauldron, I poured in as much magic as possible!

Due to this work, I was prohibited from fighting by Raidoc. Well, it can’t be helped.

A large amount of magic was drawn out through the crest all at once. I felt a slight dizziness as if standing up too quickly, but I quickly completed the spell.

“[Alchemy: Cure Potion]!!”

The pot shone again, and enough cure potions were completed.

“All right! Administer them quickly!”

The bewildered lizardmen, when told that it was a potion to remove paralysis, hurriedly administered them to those groaning and sprinkled them.

Those left were mostly those who were slow to escape or those with fewer scales.

Looking at them like this, some were really no different from humans, and those were just like upright lizards.

Among them, the most human-like was Shururu, and it was interesting that his brother, Jurara, was more reptilian.

While thinking about such trivial matters, I distributed potions.

“Are you all right!”

“Ah… I can breathe again!”

“My hands and feet can move!”

“Human!? But thank you!”

Thus, one by one, the treatments were completed.

“All right, next is the preventative potion.”

As before, I alchemized poison-preventative potions and filled barrels with them.

“I’m going up. Beppu, Marilyn, I’m counting on you.”

“Yes!”

“We’ve got it!”

Beppu should be accustomed to handling potions, and with skilled Marilyn taking care of the injured and paralyzed, I could rest assured.

I swiftly climbed the ladder leading to the roof.

“How’s the battle!?”

I caught Jitaro, who had been shooting arrows incessantly.

“With the joining of the able lizardmen, we can maintain the front line!”

“What about Raidoc and the others?”

“They’re doing a great job as you can see.”

I see. The barons who were trying to destroy the building seemed to have been mostly taken care of by Raidoc and the others.

The slow pace might be due to reasons like the barons being large and the corpses being in the way.

“More importantly, there’s something I’m concerned about.”

“What?”

“There are some really big frogs surrounded by the others, making it hard to see, but can you see the swamp direction clearly?”

“What’s…? [Far Sight]”

At the area Jitaro pointed to, it was indeed a bit odd.

Among the constantly moving large army of barons, it was hard to tell, but…

“There’s a particularly huge baron there.”

“What!?”

The one who responded to my murmuring was Jurara, Shururu’s brother, who had been wielding a spear on the roof since earlier.

“That’s… Does it have any patterns on its body!?”

“Um… with a bit of effort using Far Sight magic, I can see that there are many red-black vein-like lines on its body.”

It was difficult to distinguish from the mud, so it wasn’t certain, but that’s how it looked to me.

“Ngh…!? Th… that’s Duke! Titan Duke Frog!”

“””What the hell!?!?!”””

A giant and ducal frog, huh? Quite a spectacle!
