episode_0369

Mel tried to attack me one last time out of hatred, but fell after being hit by Agnes’ fireball storm.

Since it was one of the final bosses of the humanities quest, I wanted to check the corpse if possible, but unfortunately, my body had already stopped listening to me.

I was in no condition to walk, physically or mentally. In particular, my left leg, which had been pierced earlier, was so painful that it felt like it was going to break off.

Since I was learning the true meaning of ‘pain as if it were going to break,’ I tried my best to look away so as not to accidentally let my eyes fall on my left calf.

I thought it would be even more painful if I looked at the wound for no reason. Like Ethan, I didn’t have the courage to cut the injured area myself.

『Lilith has become level 33!』

… I don’t think there’s any need to identify the body.

Looking at the level up phrase that comes to mind, it probably means that Mel was just killed by Agnes’ blow.

Even though it has only been a while since I last leveled up, seeing my level go up again like this makes it correct to assume that I have gained the experience to definitely finish Mel.

‘With this, I somehow ended the boss battle… .’

Now all that’s left is to deal with those ‘miscellaneous mobs’ that surround us.

Fortunately, since he only had a broken leg and still had some magic left, he used magic to support Ethan from behind as he worked hard to block the bandits.

“Ha, from now on… . Ha, not a single one made it past… .”

-Poof! Sigh! Phew!

“Sigh… !!”

“Ker, keuhuh… !!”

While exchanging swords with Ethan, the bandits are hit by three arcane arrows from behind and fall down.

With this, Ethan would have roughly realized that our side of the battle was over. Of course, not only Ethan, but also the group of bandits who were confronting Ethan and Sally over there.

“What, what?! Why does magic suddenly fly?!”

“Fuck! Meh, Mel has collapsed! Fucked, fuck… !!”

“Damn, hurry up! Um, that crazy bitch is behind us too. How can we defeat them?!”

The bandits are frightened by the contagious fear and hurriedly run away, leaving behind the weapons they were carrying.

However, as if all the bandits were not all stupid, someone looked at the situation calmly and let me know that my condition was not that good either.

“Ah, no, you idiots! Look at that bitch’s legs on the floor! You’re already a half-asshole!!”

“The man is almost behind! Now all that’s left is to deal with that little boy who I don’t know if he’s a boy or a girl… .”

-pop!

“Keuheup, keung… !!!”

“… … What?”

“Fuck, it’s so cool! Who is the bastard who just said nonsense?!”

“I’m lost, so what do I know!”

However, even those guys had no choice but to be appalled by Agnes’ crotch explosion, and in the end, the remaining bandits also ran away in panic.

I wanted to slaughter them all, but our condition wasn’t that good for that. Including Agnes, who used magic to pretend to be relaxed a little while ago.

“… Phew.”

-Soak.

Agnes also appears to have finally sat down after confirming that the enemy around her has disappeared, as if the flame explosion just moments ago was her last magic power.

It could have been a little dangerous if they had discovered that we were all weak, so I gave Agnes a small compliment for handling it well.

“Good job, Miss Ness. If it weren’t for the magic Miss Ness used just now, I would have had to deal with that group of bandits again with this body.”

“… … Yes.”

“Dan, you worked hard too. Because Miss Ness and I were all glued to that woman, she was left swinging the sword alone the whole time.”

“… Reese, you did a great job. I’m glad it ended somehow. I need to rest for a bit and check what the situation is with the hero and the other kids… .”

Ethan’s words stopped unnaturally as he approached me, who was sitting on the floor after putting away the sword he was holding in both hands.

… Maybe it was because the injury I had on my leg caught his eye. Just like I was appalled by Ethan’s injury earlier.

“Lee, Lilith?! What’s with that scar on your leg… !!”

“It’s not a release here, it’s a lease. Fortunately, there was no one around… .”

“That’s not important right now! What happened to my legs? What on earth hit me and my calf was pierced and bent to the other side… .”

“Well, please don’t describe it in detail. I’m also deliberately looking away because I’m scared to see how much I’m hurt.”

“… … … … Haha.”

Ethan’s expression contorted here and there when he was told not to describe the wound for no reason, but then he answered with a long sigh.

Just a few days ago, I must have experienced similar emotions to Ethan, so I could fully understand his feelings.

“You know how I felt the last time I saw Dan’s right arm disappear, right?”

“… Yes.”

“If you know, don’t get hurt next time. If Dan gets hurt, my heart hurts too.”

“… It’s Reese who’s hurt now.”

“Of course it hurts when I get hurt. I didn’t really want to get hurt either.”

“… … Sorry.”

“Ah.”

Agnes lowered her head, perhaps because she was concerned about my last words. I didn’t really mean to get people’s attention.

Anyway, all three members of Mel’s boss battle, including me, were virtually incapable of fighting. Agnes was exhausted from her magic power, Ethan had excessive accumulated fatigue, and I fractured my left leg.

It was unclear whether two or three of them would be able to produce the same strength as one man, just like in the Battle of Iidae, so at a time like this, it would be better to quietly rest here until the battle on the Ketmojoshegigot side is over rather than running around dangerously.

“Please wait here quietly until Mr. Bolt’s battle is over. The bandits have already retreated once, so they won’t come back here, and it would be troublesome if they wander around in this state and encounter another enemy.”

“… Yes.”

“Yes, Reese.”

“Miss Ness, Mr. Dan. Would you both please come closer to me for a moment?”

“… Huh?”

“… … .”

Agnes, questioning my words, slowly crawls on the floor to my side, and Ethan walks on the other side and collapses.

He hugged the two people’s waists tightly with both arms and laid the bodies of the three people on the floor.

-Soak.

“Ugh?!”

“… Lease?”

“I’ll stay like this until everyone else’s battle is over. Still, since she was once a saint, staying like this will help both of us recover.”

“… Just worry about your body.”

“Reece, it seems like you should worry about your body first.”

I leisurely look up at the night sky while listening to the two people’s worries coming from both my ears.

It was almost an hour later when the warrior group arrived at us after the battle with Hankerton.

“Keg level… !! Okay… !! Okay, okay… !!”

“Now, just a moment, Ms. Reese… ! Well, you can’t move your legs… !!”

“Keuheup, evil! Argh! Ahhh!! Gyaaa… !!”

My scream echoes throughout Bridget Village at night.

I was aware that the voice was a nuisance that would immediately wake anyone who was sleeping, but that did not stop me from suppressing the voice coming out of my snout.

It wasn’t really a situation where I was taken by the remnants of a bandit and tortured. In the first place, the reason I was screaming right now was because of this pink-haired saint.

“Keuheup, keung, haak… !!! Ahhh… !!”

The leg was pierced by a sharp tentacle, then broken on the other side by Sei’s gust of wind, and left in that state for an hour.

It was a natural fact that the more difficult the wound was to treat, the longer it would take to receive Celista’s divine power, so the time I suffered was also bound to be proportionally longer.

“Uggyaaa!! Argh!! Gyaaah!!!”

“Lee, Ms. Reese… ! Joe, please calm down… ! Well, it’s almost over… ! Well, it’s really just a little while… !!”

‘That’s what you said 5 minutes ago, you quack!!’

My mental power was almost at its limit just to control the words that would have been considered blasphemous the moment they came out of my mouth, so it was inevitable that a scream that was unbecoming of a girl would come out of my mouth instead.

If I had been treated at a church, it would have been a little less painful because there was a priest who specialized in anesthesia, but there was nothing like that here.

As I was receiving Serista’s divine power in the open air, I felt like my wounds were being burned with fire, as if I was truly receiving divine punishment, and naturally, I could not help but let out loud Guan Yu-like screams over and over again.

‘It’s a good thing Ethan isn’t here… .’

For your information, as soon as I started treating his injuries, Ethan disappeared to another place, taking Tom and Thomas with him.

Since the wound was a small area, I had to raise my skirt and take off my knee socks and garter belt, but it was not a sight worth showing to other men.

In reality, what was being shown was not a scene that might lead one to imagine something erotic, but rather a scene of being tortured while being held captive by three people, Seraphine, Natalie, and Luke.

Rather, it was fortunate that Ethan was not here. No matter how much Ethan looks at my expression right now, I think his feelings for me will cool down a little.

“Please be patient just a little longer, Miss Reese! You can endure it with your mental strength!”

“Uggyaaa!! That’s right! Wow!! Ahhh!!”

“… … Ugh. I, I want to stop watching.”

So, for a while, only my screams echoed in the temporary treatment center in Bridget Village.

It was five minutes later that I was able to escape from the pink-haired demon with the face of a gentle sheep.
