Chapter 429
“The wind spirit dwells in the character’s body.”
The translucent wind begins to blow over my skin.
They couldn’t exchange a glance, let alone talk, but they could tell what Erwen was aiming for.
“All damage is granted evasion correction.”
Evasion correction that activates with a chance.
For reference, this evasion correction reaches the maximum evasion rate only for attacks that are classified as magic damage.
Maybe that’s why the mod itself had this condition attached.
「The magic damage received is doubled.」
Because of this, I did not turn on wind mode when dealing with magicians or magicians.
Because it was judged that the risk was greater.
An evasion ability that works with a 50% chance?
The words are good, but if the double deal comes in when hit, it can cause a greater risk due to the nature of the game.
But…….
Hui-iik-!
The coin has already been tossed.
So there is only one thing you can do.
heartbeat-.
just watching the results.
Whii Yii Yii-!
In a moment where everyone’s luck may have been taken.
With no procrastination, the results were immediate.
「The character has successfully evaded it.」
The [Spike], which flew in with the momentum to pierce my body, twisted its trajectory as it barely grazed my skin as if it was being pushed away by a gust of wind.
And…
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Black thorns stuck in the ceiling with a roar.
“……!”
With a sense of lethargy as if my heart was sinking, the wind that swept through my body faded.
「All of Erwen Fornaci di Tersia’s natural power has been consumed
.
」
‘…Think about it later.’
In the posture of holding Erwen’s body, he rolls on the floor and gets up.
“Bjorn…”
huh? Why are you not an uncle?
The sudden change of title is unfamiliar, but it does not lead to deep questions.
Because it’s the first thing to check the status.
“It will be difficult, but can you deal with the supernatural magician over there?
“…I could.”
Okay then, the baton touch is over.
“You bastard…!”
As soon as he held his posture and turned his body, the shock was transmitted beyond the shield.
Kakak-!
Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.
The one who first told me what the death of a colleague was.
Kakak-!
It looks random, but I think as I catch the knife that is being swung with my own momentum.
‘I thought you’d be happy enough to bring me to tears.’
Not really.
Do you really have no choice but to do that?
It was a moment I had been eagerly waiting for, but I had to lose a lot to come here.
“You are you… How did you become so tough?”
“I don’t think your baby who has followed me to catch me.”
“I’ll tie you a knot!”
The sword of the bastard is loaded with power.
A knife that wields itself burning itself as if wringing out a dry towel.
That driving force is obvious.
He also has a grudge against me, but he knows it from the person himself. That there is no other way to survive in this place than to kill me.
Kakak-!
The current composition is simple.
Erwen, who came back from the dead, summoned up his last energy and marked the psychic in the distance.
“Emily! You don’t have to worry about him, can you?”
“……Sounds natural.”
Amelia is in the middle of a close fight with Repeles.
All others have collapsed.
Of course, among them there may still be those who are still breathing, but they are just holding on to the strings and enduring it.
I don’t have the strength to fight right now.
So to put it simply…….
Kakak-!
The winner of this long battle will be decided.
Kakak-!
Gives strength to the shield and pushes the sword.
Even if the resistance level was reduced due to the recoil, it did not mean that the strength was reduced.
“······!”
A guy who takes three steps back at the slightest gesture.
After getting stabbed several times and checking his physical condition, now it’s my turn.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!”
Call out the names of the ancestral spirits and dash forward.
Even if I shout, the [Wild Eruption], which is classified as active, doesn’t activate, but
…
Woo-woo-!
Strike the hammer with the power of the ancestors.
Tadat.
He takes two more steps back and dodges, then swings his hammer and extends his sword towards the gap that was barely visible.
He was definitely a guy who had a lot of experience.
but······.
‘That’s why I’m more judgmental.’
Soon, his sword is deeply embedded in my side.
An injury that clearly felt the reduced resistance value due to recoil.
Pooh-!
In fact, it was not a blow that could not be avoided or prevented.
But if that were the case, the fight would have been longer.
Whiik.
As soon as the sword was lodged in his side, he stretched out his arm as if waiting.
The target is his mother’s head.
As the difference in muscle strength was clear, it was judged that once he grabbed it, he would not be able to escape no matter what.
But did he even know that?
Tadat.
The guy quickly backs away.
I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t bring anything to take care of.
“Are you leaving this?”
Gripping my teeth, I pulled out the sword stuck in my side.
And he raised the corner of his mouth, which was hardened with blood.
“Now the sword is a gift.”
“·······.”
“Why does the swordsman keep losing his sword?”
His face hardened when he even kicked out his tongue as if he was pathetic. His eyes are full of hatred, and it looks like a laser might come out.
But actions are different from eyes.
A person who is confused and does not know what to do, perhaps because of the fact that he lost his sword.
fault.
Soon after, the guy dashed.
sideways, not me.
This time, the psychology was clearly read.
‘Are you going to use the sword on the floor?’
Come to think of it, it was like this in the maze at the time.
I couldn’t use the sword, so I rushed to Misha and took the sword away.
I had to watch helplessly until Rotmiller personally took the sword and put it inside the [Treasure Warehouse], saying that this was ours.
but······.
‘It’s different now.’
worst and worst.
Back then, he presented us with options, and we had to choose one of them.
But now the situation has completely changed.
It’s not me that I choose, it’s this guy.
Tadat.
As soon as he steps off, I dash forward as well.
“······!”
His pupils sway at a distance that narrows in seconds.
He seems to be contemplating whether it’s right to bring the sword or what to do…
Whoa!
Looking at the hammer swinging above his head, the choice he made was so pitiful.
Tadat.
The guy gave up the sword on the floor and rolled on the ground.
‘Did I worry about fakes for nothing?’
If it were me, I would have pretended to pick up the sword, then twisted my body and caught you off guard.
What can he do because he is a prosecutor?
Well, if the sword was that important, there would have been an option to give up at least one shoulder and take the sword.
‘······Maybe there’s something else they’re aiming for.’
It would be a lie if I didn’t feel his judgment was pitiful, but rather than being careless, I am armed with vigilance.
Well, it would be much better that way.
Rather than belittle the enemy and suffer a change.
So in that sense.
Woo-woo-!
Swing the hammer carefully to avoid getting too close.
Tadat-!
The guy backed away again.
And when the process was repeated several times.
Took.
Finally, his back touched the wall.
At the same time, his dragon eyes widened.
Only then did I realize
‘This bastard… Didn’t you even think about the wall?’
The number of spleens this bastard was aiming for?
There is nothing like that.
It was just that I was driven to this place while avoiding the hammer in a hurry.
that’s all about this
Kwajik-!
As if to prove this, the hammer struck from above hits the guy’s left shoulder.
“Ugh…!!”
The one who ran away to the side while moaning with bloodshot eyes.
I felt strange for some reason.
Do I have to say that I’m frustrated?
“If you gave me a shoulder, I should bring something.”
No, if you’re going to give me a shoulder like this, I wish I’d brought a weapon earlier, right?
Instead of being happy about the enemy’s misjudgment, anger flares up.
so that······.
Kwak.
Like a mudfish, I pull the back of the guy trying to get out of the side and throw him into the wall.
Quaang!
He opened his mouth wide and coughed up blood.
“Cheuk…!”
I swung the hammer once more.
The target was the top of his head, but he threw his body to the side to avoid it.
Kwajik-!
His left leg was completely mangled thanks to that.
“Aaaaaagh…!”
The guy screams.
I was not at all relieved.
The Sixth woman I killed earlier was keeping her composure even at the moment when her head was spinning.
This is not even a kid.
“Only…because of a guy like you.”
Still, his desire to survive was great.
vaginal
The guy who dragged his tiny legs and crawled on the floor trying to get away from me.
As for the direction, it’s where Amelia is fighting hard.
Are you going to rely on him?
back.
Stop him by stepping on his back.
Then, did he gradually realize the reality?
“······Kill the Lord.”
Soon, the guy gritted his teeth and spoke as if crying.
It was fortunate.
He stuttered a little, but he didn’t beg for his life.
That would have made me feel really bad.
Kwaaang-!
Even at this moment, I checked Amelia’s side, who was fighting hard, and quickly finished my thoughts.
Let’s just say that without dragging it out and finish it slowly.
“Remember Lyole Warb Dwalkie?”
“Keuk kuk ha ha ha ha…”
The guy who was prepared to die let out a sneer as if he had found my Achilles heel.
It wasn’t particularly important.
“Are you talking about that half-mage back then?”
I couldn’t get out of the labyrinth even with the corpse.
The day the funeral was held with only a few belongings left.
That day I decided
One day, when this moment comes, I will definitely tell him to his face.
therefore······.
“You just listen.”
After smashing his remaining shoulder with a hammer, he said.
“Rioll Warb Dwalki.”
A time close to 3 years.
“The half-wizard who rescued us all from the maze that day.”
It took a long time, but it took a very long time.
“I didn’t lose.”
didn’t give up on him
“Because this is how I ended up killing you.”
“·······.”
“Do you understand that he won?”
The guy didn’t answer this time either.
Is it the last pride?
I turned him over and tiptoe held him by the chin, forcing him to nod.
‘Hu Then, is it all over now?’
It doesn’t feel real, but it seems like it.
Anyway, that’s okay…
Kwajik-!
now die baby
***
Kwajik-!
Following the dragon slayer, he joined forces with Amelia to smash the fighter’s head with a hammer.
“Manua Lepheles has been defeated.”
Then it was the supernatural magician who was making all sorts of fuss while avoiding Erwen who was relentlessly following him.
「Kayle Elbard Zenegger has been killed.」
This broke the heads of all enemies.
And as soon as the head recognizes that fact.
The heat of the arduous battle escapes from the body, and the cold air wraps around the body.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-.
The area where the enemy had disappeared was as calm as if a storm had stopped.
Is that why?
I finally felt it.
“It’s over…”
The battle was finally over.
But there was no time to rest.
“Amelia, check to see if you’ve ever been alive.”
“I’ll help too…!”
“To help. You are helping by resting.”
Erwen, who had exhausted his energy to the limit and entrusted the confirmation kill to Amelia, forced him to rest.
And I…
hard.
He recovered the crew members who were lying on the cold floor.
The breathless crew members checked the extent of their injuries, and the crew members who lost their warmth directly closed their eyes.
Even the worst words weren’t enough.
‘Sven Farab Meland Kaislan Lilith Marone Titana Acura Bar Lavien James Carla Versil Gouland Erwen Amelia.’
and to me
“Ten people…”
The number of members who survived this expedition.
Everyone else is dead.
“Yandel… I found four potions.”
After searching through the corpses of the Rose Knights and Noark, Amelia found the potions and distributed the potions according to the severity of their injuries.
“I’ll look for more potions.”
“Thank you, Emily…”
The amount of potion was too insufficient for all the wounded to be fully healed. However, thanks to the potions being divided and taken in an urgent order, the members who had been going through life and death recovered little by little and came to their senses one by one.
and······.
“Only us…really we are the only ones left alive.”
A thick darkness spreads under the eyes of the members who received the exact damage of the expedition.
The reason is simple.
We got to know each other too well to feel the joy of surviving first.
Anger rises before relief.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Even though she doesn’t cry out loud like the wizard Marone, she clenches her fists and endures her sadness.
“As for Ashed-sama… his wife said he was waiting. Priest Eliabosti… had a child.”
“Bentis Gerrod had a dream that one day he would definitely go to the abyss.”
“Mr. Iribon said he wanted to open a shop after this expedition.”
“Everybody… I wasn’t the type to die in a place like this. I wasn’t… But… but why…!”
It didn’t take long for the sadness to turn into anger.
“Yandel-sama… tell me. We… we… did something so wrong. Why did we all have to die here?”
A fundamental question that I finally came back to after a long time.
“Did we… have done that much wrong? Like this… to the point of being punished?”
“······If we go outside, we’ll kill the clan leader first. Even if it means I die.”
“It can’t be done that way. We have to publicize this issue properly and protest. What we had to go through here!”
“It will be difficult as the royal family is involved, but… I think it’s possible. Lavien is a dragon, and Akurava, you should have a fair say within the dwarves.”
“I heard Yandel-nim was also a candidate for tribal chief? Erwen-nim is also a very important position among the fairies…”
“Yes, surely if all four races gather and join forces…!”
The more they vomit their emotions, the colder their head and heart become.
I want to vent my anger just like them.
so it won’t be
[As expected… you will… become a giant…]
To become the kind of person that old Diddy wanted me to be…
Kwaaaak-.
At least not as much as me.
“Yandel-sama! What do you think of Yandel-sama?
Looking at them trembling with hot emotions, I said.
“I… no, we’ll be quiet.”
“···yes?”
“Because that’s the only way we live.”
“······!”
“If you’re a Kaislan Knight, you’d know, right? If all four of your tribes gathered and stormed the palace, all would die.”
Kaislan, who has always been on my side until now, did not respond this time.
Yeah I hate to answer this.
I just finished talking.
“It’s impossible for the four races to join forces in the first place. Do you really think that all of them would risk their lives to fight together if we asked for help? Risking the fate of the tribe?”
It doesn’t seem like it to me.
Reality is different from fairy tales.
The people who live here make decisions after calculating everything on the cold ground, not in a flower garden
. But something must be done!”
“Even if it kills us all?”
“It’s better than standing still!”
“Marone, do you really think so? If you use up your remaining lives like that, you think those who are already dead will be happy?” ”
Then… Then what should I do!!”
It was strange for this mage, who never lost her smile no matter how hard it was, to shout like this, but I didn’t stop talking. “As I
said before,
you have to stay still .”
You shouldn’t even talk.”
“······.”
“You should think that there must have been some reason why the main unit didn’t come.”
“······.
” It must be said that we were not the ones who killed Noark’s troops.” If we reveal the fact that we
caught and killed them, it will be considered a great achievement, but we will not be able to reveal it to anyone.
”
The Rose Knights, who are regarded as urban legends?”
Confronting them would be an achievement worth bragging about at a bar for the rest of your life, but
“we’ll never get to meet them.”
It has to be,
because only we know what happened here. There’s
no excuse for pretending you don’t know anything. If so, the people who sent us here will put the missing pieces together on their own.
In a way that is understandable to them.
I wonder if there was a mismatch between the guys chasing us and the Knights of the Rose. That’s why they luckily survived. ” Then
…then the dead people…”
Soon Marone wept and blurted out his words.
“They are…”
I chewed my lips and vomited.
Those guys… After getting out of the eye of the glacier, they will be killed by the monsters.” ”
The monsters…?”
“Yes, I was very tired from escaping the eye of the glacier, and while I threw away my equipment, I ran out of food. therefore······. It’s not something you’ll never understand—”
“It’s a lie! They didn’t die like that! You fought against people who were so strong. It’s so hard that it’s better to just die… I’ve thought about it several times…” “…”
”
But we fought… From the end to the end… without giving up on any one of them. They said they fought and won… But… however···!! monster? “Stop
it?”
”
Stop
it?
” . . . What will happen next?”
“After hiding like cowards and enduring and enduring until the closure, only we survived. That will be the end of our expedition that will be passed on to the world.”
“I see. It certainly seems the most likely way to live. But…”
Soon after, he looked at me and said,
“I don’t like it either.”
A firm voice I’ve never heard from him.
But there was no hostility in his eyes.
What could be the reason? ”
But I will do as you say.”
“Why?”
“Because I can tell just by looking at those eyes. The thing you don’t like the most about it is you. ”
As I was speechless, Aqlava stepped forward this time.
“How long… you don’t intend to stay still?” ”
…of course.”
”
Then I’ll wait.” It was James Carla
. I’d have to face-to-face with the clan leader, pretending nothing was wrong… It will be better than today, when I couldn’t even see my comrades dying…”
I could feel the enthusiasm even with my eyes closed.
I approached the other members and asked for their doctors one by one.
And when the process was over , “Lilith Marrone.” I turned to the wizard
who
sat down for the last time.
When our eyes met, she looked up at me and asked,
“How long…” ”
…”
“When?” You have to put up with it until?”
Well, I don’t know.
However, to answer honestly.
“A very long time.”
A few years will not be enough for us to be able to draw the sword.
But one thing is clear though.
“… …I see.”
Expedition day 71.
Ice cave on the 7th floor of Ice Rock.
On the frozen ice sheet where the cold chill rises through the ground.
“If you wait…. If it’s just waiting…!”
Even if it’s not a burning anger.
Rather, it’s a cold anger that won’t go away no matter how much time passes. “I too…
I
‘ll wait.”
