“Logs… ”

“Yeah, I’m still alive.”

He was bragging, but in reality he almost died.

‘Why didn’t you follow along this time when you followed along well last time?’

I questioned Kraberk’s fangs inwardly.

[Kraberg’s fang says that it takes too much force]

When I fought Aster, you used that hard skill to send me to the zombie den? Do you think that makes sense!!

[Kraberg’s Fangs Say It’s Not a Lie]

‘Well… well… well, in the end it was a success.’

[Asbel’s sword smiles proudly]

[Kraberg’s fangs retort that it is not your strength]

[Asbel’s sword now says it is his own power]

‘You two, stop fighting.’

I turned off the status window and looked at Tia.

“Hey. Do you understand my power now?”

“What are you talking about, you fucking punk.”

“?”

“We could have caught it even without you?”

I was speechless in shock at Tia’s shameless appearance. Mars also opened his mouth, seeming a little surprised at her appearance.

“No matter what, it’s true that if Logs hadn’t been there, we would all have died.”

Tia, who was taken aback by Mars’ firm tone, pouted and spoke quietly.

“I, I know that, but… ”

“So apologize.”

“What!?”

“Because you didn’t listen to me earlier and were being unreasonable. Let’s end it all with this apology.”

“But if I wasn’t here, you’d be dead?”

“Quickly.”

“mi… ”

Tia looked at me with a disintegrating expression. I could tell she was cursing inside. But I said, sulking.

“Okay, apologize quickly.”

“Logs, you’ll have to have a deep conversation with me later too.”

“?”

◦ Fuck

“Tia.”

“Ah! I’m sorry! Is that okay?”

“Okay, good job. And thanks for helping me.”

“… ”

Tia, whose anger quickly subsided at Mars’s praise, was busy hiding her embarrassed face.

‘Ugh… This is annoying.’

Be happy you two!!

I looked at the heretic Vasas, wiping away the tears that threatened to fall from one eye at my pitiful appearance.

I was worried that he might come back to life like Aster last time, but fortunately, he was definitely dead. Aster must have survived thanks to his special ability.

I sighed in relief and thought about what I had to do next.

The first thing that came to mind was how to kill these remaining soldiers. I managed to kill the most annoying one, but the fight wasn’t over yet.

These are all Vasas’ subordinates, and they are crazy about war. And what that means is that, simply put, even if the leader dies, the fight will not end.

‘Ha… They really are annoying.’

The second thing he saw was Gourik lying on the ground with his forehead pierced.

The injuries of Luca and Jansro lying nearby were not insignificant, but considering my current physical strength, there was only one person I could treat.

And what appeared to me was Gourik.

Fortunately, a faint breathing sound could be heard from the tip of his nose, but if there had been just a little more delay, his life would have been in danger.

Of course, as long as I was there, there was no future where it was too late.

‘Because I like happy endings.’

Even thinking about it that way, it is truly a scary vitality.

I laid him down on his back and reached out to him.

“Logs I’ll take the right side with Tia…”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t hear you.”

“… ”

“?”

Following Mars’ gaze, which had stopped while giving me instructions, I stopped at Gourik, surrounded by light.

He looked shocked, as if there was something he couldn’t believe. Tia, who was standing next to him, had the same expression on her face and covered her mouth with both hands.

‘Could it be that the children didn’t know that I was a priest?’

Doesn’t he look like a priest at first glance?

Damn, that doesn’t seem right to me.

It didn’t take long for his injuries to heal. I didn’t like the name of the skill, but it was true that its effectiveness was better than the heal Asbel used.

As the treatment was coming to an end, Gourik opened his mouth with a trembling eyebrow.

“Ugh… How…?”

“Mister!!”

The first one to run out the moment Gourik opened his eyes was Tia. She pushed me away and grabbed Gourik’s hand.

“Ah, sir! Oh my… Seriously… Seriously, I’m so glad you’re alive.”

It felt like she was hiding the fact that she was crying, but I could already hear the sobbing in her voice. If I told her, she would be angry.

“Miss… ? Why… am I alive?”

“That… That’s… This is… Ugh… Aah!!”

Tia, who eventually shed tears of emotion without me saying anything, seemed to be shedding tears of relief at having her child freed from the guilt that had built up inside her.

“Mister, I’m sorry… Ugh… Seriously… I’m sorry I’m so weak.”

The corners of my eyes became increasingly red and the sound of a stuffy nose was ringing in my ears.

I know I shouldn’t do this, but honestly, the voice was so funny that I couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘If you look at it like this, Tia is pretty too…’

Of course, it’s a problem because there’s no free lunch.

I sighed and looked at Mars.

Mars was still standing there with a shocked expression on his face, but he must have sensed my gaze and naturally turned his gaze to me.

“Just ask me one thing.”

I could tell from the look on his face that he had a ton of questions he wanted to ask me, but I kept my questions to a minimum.

I don’t have time… and honestly, I’m too lazy to answer all of them.

Mars seemed to notice that too, and after a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth.

“What is your identity?”

It seems like a simple question, but it is also a question of faith.

What is the intent of that question?

I hesitated for a moment to answer his question, but then smiled and answered him.

“I am a nobleman known for being a total loser.”

“… ”

There was a brief silence between Mars and me. Then Mars was the first to speak.

“That’s not what I asked! I know that too!”

“End of questions.”

“This is foul play!”

“If you were going to be picky, you should have asked specific questions.”

“…Remain for real later.”

“I would have already run away by then”

“Then I’ll catch you again… ”

Gooo—!!

Mars’s expression, which had been smiling as if he was accepting my joke, suddenly hardened. However, it was actually fortunate that he was hard.

Tia, who had no resistance to black magic, trembled all over like an anxious puppy.

“I have to run away.”

That sound came out of Tia’s voice, which had been forced to not make weak sounds.

It’s dangerous.

If he continued in that state for a little longer, his brain would definitely be destroyed. Mars instinctively realized this and immediately ran to Tia.

The golem’s fist flew behind Mars’ back.

bang!

“Are you okay, Logs?”

Mars looked at me as I blocked the golem’s attack while holding Tia in my arms.

“It’s okay.”

No, that’s not okay. It’s just plain bluffing.

Perhaps this attack would have been fine if it had been a normal golem attack. But this was no ordinary attack.

That was an attack that was launched by jumping over that great distance in just a few seconds. Considering the acceleration and his weight, if it wasn’t a fairly strong sword, it would have already broken.

“Kickkick… How did you stop it?”

From afar, I saw a boy speaking while tilting his head 90 degrees. A gloomy man opened his mouth to him.

“That person over there looks a bit strange.”

After he finished answering, a little girl who had been hiding behind the man poked her head out and spoke.

“Ppa, I want to go back quickly.”

‘Why is the support for heretics so fast…’

Hey… please save me.

I looked at them, hiding the cold sweat flowing down my body.

The boy over there is a golem caster… He doesn’t look that strong, but for him to be able to handle a golem of this level so easily is no ordinary skill.

I couldn’t figure out anything about the gloomy-looking man next to the boy. But I can guarantee one thing.

With my current skill level, I can never beat him. At least he’s in the top 10 warriors in Demeria. He needs to be in the top 3 warriors to fight on equal terms.

The girl hiding behind the man… didn’t really have an aura. I began to doubt if she was really a heretic.

I concluded that since I was with them, they must be heretics.

Now that we have figured it out, there is one problem that remains unsolved.

These were the people who did not appear in the book about heretics. It was only natural that they did not know about them, since there were only three people described in the book to begin with.

But what matters now is whether I can fight them alone without any information. I shook my head slightly.

‘Right now, lying comes first.’

I grabbed the sword, hiding my anxious feelings.

“Kick it… You want to fight us?”

“Yeah, that’s why you came too.”

“Kickkick… No?”

“We just came to retrieve the body.”

The gloomy man added to the boy’s words. He wanted to say, ‘Then take it out quickly,’ but he couldn’t show weakness.

I’m good at bluffing. I keep talking to them until they leave without getting on their nerves as much as possible.

“What are you going to do with a dead guy?”

“Everything is God’s will. A guy like you doesn’t need to know.”

The gloomy man’s gaze entered my pupils and went out through my brain. Ugh…

I almost got into trouble just now.

If I had been just a little more tired or not resistant to black magic, I would have fainted… no, I would have died.

“Oh, you withstood my attack.”

“Kick it… Should I kill you?”

“It’s okay. Since he withstood my attacks, I’ll spare him this time.”

“Kikki… Okay.”

“Are we going back now?”

“Okay, go back quickly.”

When that answer came back, the girl smiled bitterly and stretched out both hands in front of her. Then, a portal appeared behind them.

‘That’s an annoying ability.’

[Kraberg’s fang is dissatisfied with his meal being taken away]

‘Sorry, I can’t fight you right now.’

[Kraberg’s fangs nod in agreement]

[Asbel’s sword removes the dark magic that has been encroaching on your brain]

‘It’s all thanks to you. Thank you.’

[Asbel’s sword smiled]

I held on until they completely entered the portal and the portal disappeared. The portal disappeared quickly and the oppressive atmosphere gradually became lighter. I survived…

I sat down on the floor in relief.

“, Logs!”

“I’m fine, so go protect the girl you like.”

“What, what are you talking about!”

I said to him, giggling, as his face turned red from embarrassment.

“You can’t hear it anyway.”

I reached out to the fainted Tia.

There was no mana left in my body, and the mana in Asbel’s sword was also depleted.

‘If you’re going to give me a blessing, give me mana too.’

Black magic is not treated as mana…

I know I shouldn’t fall yet, but I can’t hold on any longer. Why on earth would those heretics show up at this time…

“Hey… Can you do it by yourself?”

“… ”

“Isn’t that possible?”

“No, I can. I can’t bother you anymore.”

The aura of the ruler felt behind Mars’ back. Well, this is not reassuring. The number of enemies is overwhelmingly large, so it is impossible for Mars to deal with them all alone.

Alone, that is.

bang!!!

“It’s revenge time!!”

“Sarah, calm down. Let’s find the logs first.”

“Your Highness, please wait here and I will take care of everything.”

‘I told Ban not to come…’

Still, it seems like this damn fate hasn’t abandoned me yet.

I spoke quietly to Mars.

“Don’t let anyone touch my sword… Yes, tell Ilia to guard it… ”

dump.

“Hey! Hey!! Don’t die!!”

I can’t answer that it’s not like I’m dying…

I was slowly sinking into the swamp of consciousness and could no longer hear Mars’ voice.
