Chapter 112. Conclusion
The battle was decided instantly.
The enemy cultists were likely skilled practitioners equivalent to level 25 seekers.
If we had fought them conventionally, they wouldn’t have been easy opponents.
However, I was facing off against them with Badon-san, a skilled level 25 warrior, and they couldn’t focus all their attention on me.
Moreover, there was no room for them to dodge my attack when I struck from behind.
One could call it unfair. Against such despicable villains, I had no intention of upholding a sense of fairness.
“Take this! [Three Strikes]!”
With Corcesca in my right hand, it gleamed with the brilliance of the skill.
In the next moment, 3 consecutive thrusts pierced through the figure in the black robe.
I felt the satisfaction of dealing significant damage.
“Hahah… What… what kind of technique is that!?”
The cultist’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed with a thud.
Not only did I deal significant damage.
But it seemed like I had defeated him with just 1 [Three Strikes].
Badon-san, witnessing the scene, widened his eyes in surprise.
“What…!? To defeat this skilled cultist in just a single breath…”
“Badon-san, focus on supporting the other side immediately!”
“Ah, yes. You’re right.”
Once I defeated one of them, it would be a piece of cake to subdue the other.
Kazane-san was already engaging the other cultist, dealing damage.
It seemed there was a counterattack from the enemy’s sword, but Kazane-san skillfully evaded it.
Then, Dodorga-san joined the fray, and with Badon-san and I also rushing in, there was no way the cultist could escape.
With 4 weapons pointed at him and the cultist dropping his sword, he laughed smugly, as if making excuses.
“Well, well, our goddess Lathima is fickle. I didn’t expect such a misfortune to befall us. But is it alright? By now, your dwarf village must be under attack by the skeletons. Prepare to face the consequences of diverting all your forces here. Kukukuha…Hahaha!”
It seemed like there was some misunderstanding.
I never mentioned that we were a group of four people, yet they assumed so.
It’s scary how people can jump to conclusions.
I kept my spear pointed at the figure in the black robe and said to them,
“No, there’s one person stationed at the village. There’s no doubt at least ten skeletons have already been reduced to ashes.”
“What the…!?”
“Hmph, that’s the situation. It’s about time you go to sleep!”
“Gugh!”
Badon-san struck the back of the figure’s head with the handle of his axe. The person in the black robe also fell unconscious, eyes rolled back. Well, that’s a relief.
“…It seems like it’s over.”
I said as a dwarf female warrior Berga-san appeared from the temple, wrapped in a blanket.
She seemed a bit unsteady but not in any immediate danger.
“Berga… Are you okay?”
“I’m glad! I was really worried about what would happen!”
Badon-san and Dodorga-san rushed over to Berga-san, relieved by her safety.
Meanwhile, I exchanged a fist bump with Kazane-san next to me, acknowledging each other’s efforts.
Then, a notification popped up in the message box.

“Well, let’s head back, Daichi-kun. Hotaru-chan might feel lonely by herself.”
“Yes, that’s a good idea.”
It seemed like the conversation between the Dwarf warriors has ended.
Badon-san and Dodorga-san, upon learning of Gordon’s death, mourned his death and foolishness.
With that, we rescued Beruga and were about to go back to the Dwarf village, but then…
In the corner of my vision, I caught sight of a small statue placed on the pedestal at the temple’s entrance.
“…?”
Could it be a statue of the evil god the cultists had set up?
It depicted a girl holding a dice in her right hand and a bottle of alcohol in her left hand.
I had a feeling that I had seen that statue somewhere before.
No, maybe it’s just my imagination.
I don’t know the appearance of the evil gods in this world.
Without paying it much mind, I left the place.
