episode_0032

After realizing that my spicy pork rice ball wasn’t very spicy, I was in a bit of shock.

‘Eh, ay. But I’m Korean? Do you enjoy eating spicy ramen? ah. Has everyone’s sense of taste dulled as the battle got closer?’

But unfortunately, I didn’t have time to leisurely think about whether or not to return the title.

because…

-Waaa!!!

-Chaeng, Chang!!

‘… No, now is not the time to be thinking about this.’

This was a battlefield filled with the sound of clashing weapons.

As if scolding my brain for daring to do something different in the actual game, I hit the ball with all my might to calm myself down.

-Chuk chuk.

‘I’ll think about this later. Let’s focus on the battle first, focus.’

“Puhup. Hero, are you nervous?”

“It’s not like that… .”

“Angel, don’t worry! For now, there are only henchmen… Lucia. The left wing protrudes too much. Let’s slow down the advance.”

“… Felix. pin. It’s too fast. Slow it down.”

-yes!! Guys, calm down a little and keep pace with the other soldiers!!!

Elizabeth laughs as she looks at me like that.

However, unlike us who were peaceful in the back row, the atmosphere on the front line was heated.

-Hey, you bastards! Well done Filiana!!

-Are you the one who blew off my leg? Is it you!!?

– Turn everything, even the bones, into powder!! If you leave it like that, it will resurrect!!

-I know!!

-Kwasik! Pasasasak!!!

As we advanced, a group of miscellaneous mobs rushed out of the castle.

Although the number was quite large, the elves wiped out the group as if massacring them. As if to avenge a recent defeat, he did so violently.

… Well, I received a group buff to my cooking skill. It’s natural for it to be promoted like that.

I nodded my head at the sight that made me feel refreshed just by looking at it.

-Kiyaaagh!!!

-Kuhuh!!?

-Petra got hit by acid!!

Of course, no matter how high the specs are, war is still war.

In a large-scale battle like this, it was inevitable that there would be injuries…

-Feed me that quickly!! Because I will cover you!!

-okay!

-Gurgling. gulp.

-What is this, it’s sweet and delicious!!

An all-purpose potion I made with pork rice balls.

… Just by drinking sikhye, any fatal wound was instantly cured.

There were no injuries, let alone deaths.

‘… … It’s a new sight, but it really doesn’t suit me.’

When I saw the elves drinking Sikhye instead of fighting, I strangely felt like I had done something bad to the fantasy world…

Soon, I shook my head to shake off the random thoughts.

‘But whatever. Because sikhye is delicious.’

“… It seems like things are slowly getting sorted out, hero?”

“Oh, already?”

As I was doing that, Elizabeth’s slightly shaken voice tickled my ears.

no. I don’t think it’s been even 10 minutes, already?

“Still, the name and appearance is the army of the Four Heavenly Kings, so how can it already be…? Ah.”

‘Come to think of it, Asterios, the army only took elite soldiers with it.’

For a moment, I thought it was too fast, but then I gasped at the realization.

Asterios, who likes the strong, also prefers quality over quantity in the military.

As such, he led a small, elite unit that was one of the most elite units in the Demon King’s army…

‘Jupiter’s Blessing’ is a normal buff that increases all stats by 2. Even in a game where the maximum ability level is 10.

Thanks to my buff, the elves, who were already an elite army, actually each had knight-level abilities.

Besides, this is still within the World Tree’s territory. Considering the terrain bonus, each elf today can be considered as a knight commander level.

… It’s not a knights’ order, but it has 5,000 troops with knight commander-level abilities?

It’s a small and medium-sized high school, and unless Asterios himself comes, it’s natural that they’ll be cut off like that. cancer.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, ‘Even easy games have their limits.’

‘Of course, it won’t work on commander-level people.’

-The unit that Asterios trusted and entrusted to us, so easily? … Puhaha! How dare you command such a strong army. He must not be an ordinary guy.

‘oh. When I think about it, it just comes out.’

Then, just in time, a demon came out.

A demon with goat horns on its head and an appearance reminiscent of an Australian kangaroo standing on two legs began to walk with its neck bent.

It was clear that he was the deputy commander who commanded the troops in the absence of the Four Heavenly Kings.

-dump.

-I, the strong one who will face Ramrus, come forward.

And then, standing in the middle of the front line, the monster sat down on the corpses of his comrades.

As the demon’s finger snapped, our expressions all hardened.

“Elizabeth.”

“Yes. High-ranking demons with such strong demonic energy cannot be killed unless they are divine warriors like you and me. In the end, I have to step forward, right?”

“Yes. please. … You know that I only have Elizabeth, right? I only trust Elizabeth!”

‘You’re still the only one in our party that can attack, so I know you’re a tank, but please do your best!’

-Hehe.

“Hehe, hehe. Hehehe… Of all the warriors, I’m the only one… .”

‘I really like it.’

… Elizabeth’s expression cleared up like a lie when I smiled and cheered her on.

anyway. Afterwards, she gave Arthur and me a quick glance.

“Arthur, cover the warrior from behind while I fight.”

“Uh, are you okay? No matter how much I tell you… .”

“There’s nothing you can do. You need a hero nearby to show off your skills, but you can’t leave the hero without a guard.”

‘Even if it’s just for the party bonus, he’s a real porter. me.’

Additionally, the attack power bonus that occurs when warriors are united together. In fact, Elizabeth is referring to the ‘party bonus’, which is a penalty that accrues when party members are divided up.

… In the game, you could just put the chef in the back row, but since it’s a real-time full-dive game, this becomes a pain in the ass. really.

Reflecting on the meaning of the ‘porter’ title given to me by Sang Tae-chang, I cautiously intervened.

“Then, can I take Lucia with me?”

“… ?”

“Huh? Why?”

When I asked if I could take Lucia to the battlefield, the three looked at me as if I was wondering what that meant.

However, I had no choice but to ask Lucia to accompany me to the battlefield.

‘In my opinion, it’s 100 percent, but there’s no physical evidence yet… Keep it a secret for now.’

“Yes? Please, Elizabeth~.”

“… Tsk. You’re not the type of person to say things for nothing. Arthur, are you okay?”

“If it’s a subjugation, escorting is possible as long as the Four Heavenly Kings themselves don’t come!”

“… … ?”

“Then that’s it. Let’s go quickly, let’s go. Before other soldiers are harmed for no reason.”

After a short conversation, we naturally went forward, taking Lucia with us.

Interrogate those demons to get information about demon energy erosion.

“… … … ??”

Lucia remained silent until the end, just looking around with her head expressionless.

* * * * * *

High elf and leader of the elves, Fraun’s younger brother. Lucia.

She continued to tilt her head as she headed to the front of the battlefield.

‘Why me?’

Because, she had been in a state of confusion ever since Sihyeon said, ‘Let’s take Lucia with us too.’

It wasn’t obvious because she had dead expression and dead eyes, but if her older sister saw her, she would be shocked and say, ‘Lucia can express this level of emotion?!’

Why are you going to the front line? The commander goes to the front line, or even to the middle of the battlefield.

———She’s not a hero.

‘I have to ask the hero… No, you must have a purpose. Because he is a great person.’

-Tsk, tsk, tsk.

‘… Still, not being able to see is a bit scary.’

However, she followed the humans without asking.

Even though I was a little scared, I only believed in the vision.

-Kkook.

“… … ?”

However, the tremors did not last long.

Because, a gentle warmth was conveyed to her hands that were trembling with no expression.

It wasn’t difficult for her to guess who owned these small, soft hands.

It was clear that it belonged to a male warrior who shook the hearts of her elves these days.

“Lucia, don’t be too nervous. Because I, we are next to you.”

“… Hero. Even if you don’t hold my hand.”

“——It’s noisy here, right? Hehehe.”

Afterwards, a voice full of kindness seeped into Lucia’s ears.

I felt it from the first time we met, but it was a very clear voice.

“… By any chance, warrior.”

“Shh. It’s still a secret.”

“… … … .”

Sihyeon smiles meaningfully while holding hands.

Even as Arthur raised his sword with a stern expression and Elizabeth took out her shield and stepped forward, their connected hands showed no intention of loosening.

It was as if he was patting me and telling me not to be scared because he was here.

“… Yes.”

“Yes. Then where. Ah, Elizabeth and the demon made a loud noise. and… Oh, Elizabeth attacked first! Swing your shield and hit the demon’s face!!”

While holding hands so warmly, Sihyeon began to quietly tell us how the battle was going.

Arthur, who was wary of his surroundings with a serious expression, was having a conversation that made him wonder, ‘Angel, why are you acting like that?’

At the same time, the explanation was quite desperate for Lucia.

She nodded and looked ahead.

———With empty eyes, unable to see anything.

“Ah, the shield is circular, about the size of the body, and made of heavy blue cobalt. On the other hand, demons have round horns… .”

“… … Yes.”

‘Are all human men like this? Quick-witted, kind, gentle… .’

However, thanks to the soft voice explaining the situation, there was no major problem in understanding the situation.

A human woman who let out a gruff voice whenever she was close to a hero. Elizabeth will have the upper hand the whole time.

Thanks to the food containing the warrior’s miracle.

… and,

-Tooong!!!

“… The horn, which was spouting out demonic energy, was smashed by the sacred shield. Elizabeth won.”

“Yes.”

Soon enough, there was so much cheering that Sihyeon didn’t even need an explanation.

“Yo, hero!! Me, I did it!!! I fought hard thinking I was protecting the hero!!!!”

“Your Highness, Your Highness!! You are truly amazing!!!”

The voice is so pleasant that even Lucia, who has little emotion, gets a little excited for a moment.

Sihyeon next to her also gave strength to her hands as if she was happy…

“Lucia, let’s go. Last hit… Hmm. I’ll leave the final blow to Lucia.”

-Jump, jerk.

———He led Lucia forward again, saying something incomprehensible.

“… … ?”

‘quietus… ? I? why? ‘How can I, who’s not even a hero?’
