episode_0203
by fnovelpiaHostages who were captured by the Uk tribe.
And Princess Estella.
“Everyone go west. I wish you luck. ”
“But the princess… .”
“I will follow this person and save the people in danger in the north. I will not listen to any disagreement. I cannot abandon you.”
“Ah… … .”
A tearful show unfolded.
Estella persuaded those people and ordered them to take refuge in western Leonis.
The reason for taking refuge in Leonis is simple.
It’s because of Ronika.
‘Our informant will meet you in the middle and guide you. I’m thinking of safely rebuilding the village of Polishia that burned down beneath the city of Kentubria.’
He personally volunteered to help refugees.
The devastation of this place, seen through a shared view, seemed to stimulate Ronica’s heart.
and… .
Polisha Village.
This is the village where the disciple grew up.
He seems to have forgotten all the bad memories of that day and says he will help rebuild the village.
I told that fact to Estella.
“Everyone, take care of yourselves.”
“Ugh… princess. Please come back safely.”
“Trust me. I also believe in you.”
“Princess. Ugh!!… … .”
… It was so bad.
People became obsessed with Estella. It seemed like he was loved by everyone.
It’s not that bad.
Despite his noble status as a princess, he is a passionate protector who values his people more than himself… No, because good guys are rare.
I just watch it like a strange animal.
Is it because of that?
“Please protect our princess.”
“I will only trust you.”
“Ah… You are definitely a warrior given by Edelin’s guardian spirit.”
“… … … I understand, so stop.”
People even stuck to me.
It’s annoying, but… .
This show of tears is better than those who arrogantly show off their power.
“You must be safe!!”
The refugee caravan left the fortress.
A small group of about 50 soldiers took the lead and escorted them.
There was no problem with food as there was emergency relief supplies that had not been discovered by the enemy. No, everyone was armed, each holding a weapon.
Weapons are scattered throughout the city.
Princess Estella rearmed the mansion with clean, light armor and at the same time told the residents to take up weapons, saying they had to protect themselves.
Most of them are women or children, so they look anxious… You will be able to avoid the bandits.
There is no problem as the road also gave us a map from Venus. If you are lucky, you will be able to contact the Venus informant dispatched by your disciple and receive guidance.
From then on it becomes safe.
It has nothing to do with me… .
I hope you get out safely.
People left the city.
The only ones left are Estella and me.
“Are we finished?”
“… yes. Thank you for waiting. Well then, please take care of me in the future. Warrior.”
“The title of warrior… It’s annoying. Don’t call me that.”
“Yes?”
This body does not like warriors.
It’s a trauma from a past life.
If it weren’t for my disciple, I would never have had anything to do with the warrior.
“Then… What should I call it?”
“Call me Tirus.”
“Yes. Dirus. There is no time to delay. We must leave quickly!”
“… Wasn’t it delayed because of you?”
“Ah!… I’m sorry for showing you such disgrace. I couldn’t just let them go, so without even realizing it-”
“Stop it. I have to leave.”
“Yes.”
It took a while, but… The results won’t change much.
Those who should have been caught have already been caught.
The invasion force will continue to search and advance.
“I know where the horse is. I will guide you-”
“It’s noisy, so just follow me.”
“Yes?”
“Follow me. There is something faster.”
Tup.
“Ugh!… .”
This guy has too much action potential. I grabbed the wrist of the guy who was trying to get ahead and dragged him away.
‘ah!… Ahhh!!… … .’
For some reason, I can hear Ronika’s urgent feelings.
… I think I know why.
I let go of Estella’s wrist and grabbed her sleeve.
‘ah… Phew… … .’
however… What is my disciple doing, watching me all day?
This familiar feeling is like… .
[hmm? What are you looking at?]
[…] … no.]
I guess this is just my fate.
*
Paaah!~
When I took out the key handle from my subspace pocket and pressed the button, the motorcycle was summoned.
Estella reacted immediately.
“Could this be a motorcycle!?… .”
“Do you know?”
“I have seen my brother burn. I’m sure you can go fast with this… But isn’t this a one-seater?”
“You can make it a two-seater.”
It’s cheap~
A chill rose with his breath.
Blink!~
We made an ice seat on the back of the motorcycle. Then, I modified the shield magic and coated it like a transparent wall filled with air.
If you do this, it won’t be cold.
“No way! I saw it before, but how on earth do you have such magic skills…? Is it even worth putting air into the shield and maintaining it?”
“Didn’t you just see it? This is a 3-star feat. If the control supports it.”
“Ah! is that so?… .”
I think you need at least a 6-star understanding of magic… There’s no need to tell you.
“Take.”
“Yes.”
Sigh~
Everyone got into their seats.
Estella was wondering where to put her hand, then gently placed her hand on her shoulder. Unlike when he was fighting, he seemed like he was usually shy.
Just accelerate.
Piuuuung~
A relatively normal road until you reach the mountainous area. We moved forward easily.
Meanwhile, Estella asked me a question.
“Where are you from, Dirus?”
“Make your guess.”
“How strong are you?”
“As much as you saw.”
“That… The power that brought the Uk to their knees earlier. It was not a normal human category. Is Dirus a god?”
“Did it look like that? So you were being polite.”
“Because Edeline also has a myth. I thought it was just not showing up.”
“Unfortunately not. And if it doesn’t show up, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as God in Edeline.”
“… … yes. But Dirus has appeared.”
“Don’t judge as you please. I’m still a long way from reaching godhood.”
“Sounds like it will be soon?”
“You. You have a lot of delusions.”
“If you become Edeline’s guardian, it would be perfect.”
“You might become an evil spirit. There would be no benefit in trusting the first day I saw you. Stop being quiet.”
“… yes. Still, I will believe it.”
“… … … .”
Tired human.
A helpless human being.
A weakened human.
A human being in despair.
Such people usually find hope in others.
That’s why Estella says such absurd things.
Edeline’s guardian deity.
It’s a nuisance.
My strength is mine.
It’s not for them.
I’m just protecting my disciple’s world.
Saving Edeline is not my focus.
Thinking.
We reached the northern mountains.
*
“… It looks like the enemies have passed by here.”
Estella said while looking at the corpse of an imperial soldier.
We put our motorcycles in and entered a large forest area located in the northernmost part of the empire, which was larger than the Meviron Forest near the training center.
There must have been multiple chases already, so traces of battles and corpses can be seen sparsely.
How many people of the empire actually escaped?
How is the enemy main force maneuvering?
You can tell without even looking.
It must be a mess.
I heard that tens of thousands of residents were evacuated in the city, and they all fled together due to this battle.
As an invasion force, there was no way I would miss this opportunity. They must be chasing anything they can find.
so… .
“Everyone must have dispersed.”
“Yes. For the people of the empire to live. The invading force would have been divided into numerous small units to capture it. It’s an opportunity for us!”
“Okay. Not bad.”
It’s literally an opportunity for me.
I was worried about what to do if the invasion force gathered together.
The leader of the enemy is a demigod. If a 7-8 star strongman or many subordinates rush in together, risking death, it will of course be difficult to win.
But it just so happened that they all dispersed. We must use this opportunity to reduce our power by killing as many of our subordinates as possible.
The plan has been decided.
Let’s wipe them out right now.
“The enemies probably went that way!”
Estella, who had been crouching for a moment to examine the traces, stood up and pointed to one side.
I just ignored it and pointed to the side.
“Go over there. I feel popular.”
“Yes? Pretending to be popular? I can’t feel anything… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just follow me.”
fault!
leaped straight away.
“Oh. Please wait!!”
“Follow in a straight line.”
If I went first, he followed me without any need for persuasion.
I didn’t necessarily adjust the speed.
If you just keep going straight, it’s over.
Soon after, a Uk unit appeared.
“Huh? Human?”
“Haha! There’s another human here!!”
60 Uk people.
10 Bytron people.
Even though Thunder Ice was dead, it seemed like the alliance was still going around together.
I took a quick look and found that there were two 6-star players.
Both are Uk warriors.
Behind him, about ten imperial citizens were taken hostage and were looking at this place in despair.
“Also… .”
“Ugh… … .”
All women and children.
It seemed like all the men had been killed.
It also doesn’t look good. He leaped first while the enemies were off guard.
The goal is to become a 6-star player.
◎︎ Hand drawing is partially used.
He approached the 6-star warrior and briefly pulled out his fingernails.
“Skilled person!!… .”
He immediately raised his ax to defend himself, but it was ridiculously insufficient to stop me, and more than anything, I had this method.
Just release the blame to that guy.
Woe!!-
“Inhale!!… .”
The moment I became stiff, I slit my throat.
Suddenly!
The head is separated in vain and flies away.
“This guy!!”
The remaining 6-star talent rushed towards me while my colleague was being attacked.
Same goes for this guy.
Focused on class.
“Qu!?… .”
Deep.
Wow!!
It pierced the heart and tore upwards.
“Big!!… … … .”
dump.
I collapsed.
“What… .”
The subordinates were very embarrassed.
“Adolan has been defeated!!”
“Crazy… .”
“A strong warrior!! Kill everyone together!!”
Since I didn’t spread the attack, I just got enraged and attacked the guys who didn’t properly understand my power. I think they thought they were caught off guard by a surprise attack.
It’s easier for me like this.
Deep.
Wow!!
The massacre began.
When I killed about half of them, they got scared and ran away, but even though they were free, it was not the time to go.
Immediately, he spread the attack only on them and made them stiff, making it difficult for them to move.
“Ugh!!”
“Wee, was he a great warrior?!”
While they were panicking, I memorized a spell.
Wide range debuff.
6 star magic.
Pendulum of constraints.
ᛃᛁᚨᚪᚲ᛬ᚢᚱᛅᛌᚢᚲ.
“If you can escape somewhere, do it.”
“Qu… My body is heavy.”
“Can they even use magic!!”
“Damn. I have to tell you quickly-”
Deep!!
“Ugh!?”
Pick up their weapons and throw stacks of them.
The person who took out the communicator was pierced in the neck.
Of course, it would be difficult if it was already known that the raid had taken place. In other words, whoever holds the communication device will die first.
After this, it’s not difficult. I killed them all using nested throws and magic.
So a little later.
“Da, what are you…? .”
People looked at me with their mouths wide open.
The person who they thought would be taken hostage along with them wiped out the Uk tribe by himself, and it seemed like they couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with their own eyes.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Someone else will explain it.
“Wow… omg… … Dirus!?… … .”
Estella arrives.
She immediately faced the released people.
“No way!! Aren’t you a princess?”
“Oh my god. Are you safe!!”
“Ah… You.”
For them, it is a situation where they come back from the dead and meet the person they trust the most.
If I go out, I’ll just be tired.
However, I don’t plan on waiting for long.
I need to kill as many enemies as possible before my news spreads to them.
“I will give you 1 minute. Just give a brief explanation and send it.”
“Yes? But these girls… .”
“The more you procrastinate, the more people will be taken in. Don’t lose sight of the big things in the urgent matters of the moment. It is your choice whether to save more people.”
“… … Ugh. Where is the Marquis de Cardin?”
“Everyone is spread out so we can… .”
“That… Everyone, run away to avoid the Uk tribe. I cannot take care of you.”
“Princess?… .”
“ Blame me for not being able to protect you. So hurry!! Run away from the Uk people!! Right now!!”
“… … yes. princess. Please stay safe.”
Quick decision.
Not bad.
Was it resolved in 20 seconds, let alone 1 minute?
Estella’s urgent feelings seemed to have been conveyed, and the hostages quickly began to leave the mountain.
In the meantime, I approached the corpse of the Uk. The imperial army had already been annihilated, and even if the remnants were swept away, it would not be of much help.
My plan is already ruined here.
But there is still plan B.
Undead.
ᛁᛚᛁᚬᚢᚾᛅᚾᛅ᛫ᛘᛅᛘᛁᚬᛁᛦ.
Wake up, you dead man.
Shuhuuuk~
He placed his hand on the Uk corpse and injected it with concentrated fraud. The body decomposed rapidly and a red glow began to appear in the eyes.
“Goooo… … .”
The guy who slowly gets up from his seat.
The Uk zombies were born.
“… … omg?… W-what are you doing!?”
Estella looks up in surprise. It’s a face that looks like it’s been betrayed.
“Is there any problem?”
“Undead… Isn’t that something only warlocks do? Could it be you… … .”
“Are you disappointed?”
“Well, that’s… .”
“Do I suddenly look like trash? Or were you hoping to wipe out the invading army with an even greater power that did not exist?”
“… … … .”
“Abandon prejudice, it blurs the distinction between ideal and reality. I am just a person who does what is necessary, so just know that. Don’t blame the strange warlock prejudice.”
“Ah… yes… … My thoughts were short. The longer I hesitate, the more my enemies will take hostages and humiliate and despise me alive. You are right. I think my heart was still soft.”
“It’s good that you agree quickly.”
“… Because there are many people who need to be saved. I will save it even if it means getting my hands dirty.”
“Don’t forget that determination.”
“Yes. And then I realized. No matter what strength you use, you are a warrior who saves the world!”
closely!
He returns to his original form and clenches his fist.
It was a solemn yet determined look.
“Hero… … I would have told you not to call me that… .”
“Ah!… Sorry!!”
“It is done.”
Does that guy really see me as a hero?
Warrior.
When was the last time you were called that?
… It’s all in the past.
Let’s not think about it.
Estella is a leader who is quick to understand and knows how to distinguish between realities.
There will be no more tackling from now on.
“Come to work.”
“Yes?”
“You’ll need this if you want to follow me.”
Tiring!
◎︎ The target, Estella, is granted the blessings of an aspiring warrior’s absolutely precious pet.
◎︎ Morale resistance becomes stronger.
◎︎ Mental strength is strengthened.
I criticized the guy.
“… Pet’s protection?… … .”
and.
◎︎ Death Aura is activated.
◎︎ Wakes up the dead within range.
◎︎ Decay of living things becomes faster.
◎︎All undead within range are strengthened.
It boosted morale.
Since I covered it up, at least Estella won’t be greatly affected by my morale.
Well then, what you need to do from now on is simple.
Undead production.
Sigh.
Slurp~
Death aura and morale were injected into all the fallen Uk corpses around.
And a wide range undead resurrection spell.
ᛁᚢᚲᚼᛅᚢᛘᛅᛁᛚ᛫ᚷᛅᚨᛋᚢᚱᛅᛦᛁᛚᛅ
Defy death.
ᛋᚬᛅᛁ᛫ᛋᛅᚲᛅᚾᛘᛁᚬᛏᛅᛁᚴ᛫ᛓᚬᚢᚴᚬᚻᛅᚱᛅ
Get new life and submit.
“ᛚᛁᛒᚨᛁᚢᛒ.”
Revive.
◎︎ The dead within the Death Aura range gain strength.
“Goooh!!”
“Kikigeek… Oh… … .”
Dozens of undead rose to their feet. Depending on the caster’s capabilities, they can use simple commands and weapons they would have learned in life.
Tuk.
Cheok!
They picked up their weapons and looked at me as if waiting for orders.
The birth of the Uk zombie army.
This is just the beginning.
From now on, I will nibble on you little by little.
