Helmut
Episode 473
The swamp area is finally over.
But as soon as we left the swamp, the expected situation occurred.
Countless beast-type monsters with shining eyes. These are the guys that were originally swarming in Elaga’s territory.
This place is closer to the central area.
Even Rosetta’s scent could not free them from the devil’s rule.
The monsters that rushed in as if they had been waiting were like a pack of wolves.
They catch a target and tenaciously attack as a group, knocking down their prey.
If you push any large game into the water, it will eventually collapse from exhaustion.
In the meantime, the guy next to me doesn’t care as his head gets crushed and chopped into pieces.
Igrel, who crushed the monsters with both his fists exhausted, shouted as if he was fed up.
“Elaga, they are your subordinates! “Do something!”
No matter how much he is the ruler of the area, he has never faced so many monsters. I was getting sick of killing them.
Wow!
Elaga roared. The wave spread and pushed out the atmosphere.
For the past thousand years, the Elaga have ruled this central region. The instincts ingrained in my body awakened the Demon King’s control.
Some guys flinched. Only then did some of them come to their senses, saw Elaga, trembled and ran away.
But those guys are only a few. These guys have the strongest demons.
Most of the time, regardless of whether Elaga roars, he doesn’t even blink and rushes towards us with a look of madness in his eyes.
Elaga was astonished.
[Even though I was away. From the beginning, it seems like it was the territory of a demon lord or something, right?]
Elaga was clearly feeling what it felt like to be robbed.
The central region, which he has ruled for a thousand years, has lost its original form and is unfamiliar even to Elaga.
Not only has he built a nest in his own territory, he has taken control of all the monsters and ruled them over.
I never really thought of them as subordinates, but I had a strong feeling that what was mine was taken from me. It was unpleasant.
“Show me your example.”
Helmut responded indifferently.
The situation was equally unfamiliar to Helmut, who had lived most of his life in this central region.
Not only Elaga, but also the rulers of the area were facing an unprecedented situation where they were ignored by the monsters they had commanded.
But it is natural that the situation boosted their fighting spirit.
[How dare these bastards ignore me? I won’t leave you alone!]
Wow!
Elaga went ahead and ran like crazy.
puck! Quagwagwang!
Every time he struck, a monster was crushed alive and crushed to its core.
I will make it clear who is the owner of this area.
By force!
It was the first time that Elaga, who had swallowed Naho’s core, had shown its true power to that extent.
“… … “Go away.”
It’s so terrifyingly majestic that I’m reluctant to go near it for fear of harm.
Baharek, who was pulling the carriage, was able to control himself, but the guys who attacked me chewed up their heads and tore them off.
Crackle!
Ygrel sat on the back of the carriage and threw down and beat up the guys who were approaching from behind.
Dark and murky atmosphere and black ground.
The black blood of the monster was not very noticeable.
The swordsmen drew their swords and cut down the monsters charging at them one by one on the carriage.
The golem was strong, and the carriage was moving at a fast speed, although not as fast as before.
[Hurry, follow me! If you procrastinate, more people will flock to you!]
Since Elaga was laying waste to the ground ahead, the progress was at least pleasant.
Because Xian had solidified the ground as far as it went, there was no attack from below.
As long as there is no accident where the carriage overturns, there will be no problem in proceeding.
“Next to Asuka!”
“Rya la la la!”
In response to Xian’s warning, Asuka slashed the hyena, which plunged its teeth into his side, with her sword.
Quack!
The hyena, whose forehead’s core was shattered, fell to the floor, drooling.
The carriage quickly moved away from the body.
“Oh, really.”
Asuka was sweating. Although he was the least skilled among them, the power of his magic sword was amazing.
The magic sword he had had the function of freezing the cut. Because of this, it is difficult for even monsters to repair wounds.
Luke Yeager looked into the air and shouted.
“We’re up! be careful!”
A giant hedgehog with thorns was spinning in the air and plowing towards the carriage.
Each thorn is as threatening as a spear blade, and if struck with its weight, not even a building could withstand it.
It was enough to reduce the people in the carriage to a handful of blood.
“If it falls, the carriage will be destroyed! “We have to change our trajectory!”
At that time, Helmut kicked the carriage and jumped up. Area’s magic supported his body.
“Wings of the wind!”
The speed increased. Helmut raised the vis-covered blade forward. He flies straight up and splits it in two.
Before my eyes was a forest of giant spear blades spinning furiously. A fearsome majesty that could easily crush a human being!
However, without hesitation, he countered with a sword loaded with vis.
Quad deud deuk!
If you cut quickly, pressure is ignored. The spear-like thorns were cut like grass stems.
Penetrating the monster’s body, Helmut found the core without fail and cut it down.
There was no violent crash sound. The spinning guy and Helmut crossed each other as they flew into the air.
But the change was instantaneous. The hedgehog’s body, with long solid lines drawn on it, was split apart.
A huge amount of black blood sprayed in the air, and the body, cut in half, fell to both sides.
The halves of the object, which were thrown to both sides by the rotational force, were thrown in different places.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gwang!
Those in the carriage did not notice the noise.
The rain of blood falling down missed the magically protected carriage.
Helmut turned in the air and landed safely on the carriage. Area’s magic supported him.
“great job.”
Area, who spoke briefly, prepared another magic without even having time to breathe.
Helmut was also holding a sword in his hand.
The threatening offensive continued countless times thereafter.
On their way, a mountain was piling up with the corpses of monsters.
“If this continues, the seeds of the Pahe Forest monsters may dry up.”
How much did they fight? Helmut muttered, holding his numb hand. The humans on the wall will feel more comfortable.
But they were the problem at hand.
Cut, fight, and move forward. There was no rest for even a moment.
No one said anything weak. Just move towards your goal.
Never before had anyone on the wagon fought so fiercely, never had so many enemies been pushed around.
At least Helmut recalled the memories of the last crusade where the Holy Knights rushed at him like crazy.
‘A monster or a temple.’
No, monsters were easier. The temple guys’ blows were threatening even if they only passed by.
Helmut glanced at Levant. She is fighting back as hard as ever.
Holding a golden holy sword, his power was no less than Helmut’s in this forest of Pahe.
‘It’s good power.’
After catching his breath, Helmut began cutting down the monster again.
Quack!
The monster with its eyes pierced fell out with a sound.
Kieeeee.
Hours. No, I don’t know how many hours have passed. At some point, I thought the number of monsters had decreased.
Helmut, who had been swinging his sword in a state of extreme immersion, only then looked back at the group.
I’m not used to protecting someone. I barely paid any attention, but everyone seemed fine.
Although he may be a little tired physically, his eyes are still vivid.
“I would have been in big trouble without the magic sword.”
Asuka spoke honestly. It would have been a burden to the group.
However, if you spend money, even your lack of skills can be compensated for.
Levina, who had recovered her divine power, energized the party.
Area, Heike, and Xian also used magic stones to fill their magical power.
Ygrel, who could not receive any of the benefits, sat down in the very back seat.
“Is it because it’s a human body? “Why does it seem difficult?”
[The subject who was riding the carriage said that it was difficult?]
Baharek grumbled. Wasn’t he the one who even fought while pulling a carriage?
It wasn’t difficult because I ran by biting and throwing away the guys that were attacking me from the front. He was just frustrated because he destroyed the carriage while fighting and was not allowed to eat it.
Ygrel answered half-heartedly.
“Good work.”
[Was there only this many monsters in the dig? Why is it already over?]
Elaga, who had defeated all the people around her, returned to the side of the carriage.
There are no more monsters left to break through.
Despite ending the lives of so many monsters, Elaga’s fur was only white.
As if there wasn’t even any dust on it, let alone blood and flesh.
[I feel refreshed.]
Elaga became stronger by absorbing their demonic energy, and she never got tired.
Area threw Rosetta’s wreath at the three monsters.
“this.”
Rosetta’s scent still filled the surroundings.
Still, you have to take it. Because you will get closer to the devil.
The carriage was still moving. Stopping only gives the enemy time to prepare.
Those in the carriage took turns resting, eating, and watching security.
Helmut asked Elaga.
“How much longer do we have left now?”
[I think there’s about half of it left. Did you get more than you expected?]
Even though I didn’t run at full speed, I picked up quite a bit of speed. There was no longer a swampy area like before.
They were running through dark forests and lands. Although the road was not smooth, Baharek, who pulled the carriage, was not deterred by the roughness.
As his feet follow the beaten path, the carriage naturally runs on a somewhat well-trodden path.
Area said, looking at Helmut.
“I don’t think it will be easy like this.”
There had to be a reason why there were no monsters here. They sighed and soon realized the reason.
What is visible in the open front is a translucent black barrier reminiscent of a small form of a sacred barrier.
And what lurked in front of him was a mind-boggling number of monsters.
Looking at the guys flashing their teeth in this direction, Helmut realized one thing.
“It’s a barrier. “Those monsters earlier were the ones guarding the wall.”
Area nodded.
“That’s why there were no monsters in the middle area between the walls.”
After passing the first barrier, is it the second? Damn, there were a lot of them.
These guys were even bigger and their magic was stronger.
Above all, that black barrier.
Asuka asked.
“What on earth is that? “Is it possible to pass?”
“It seems to be a barrier made of demonic energy.”
Sian explained briefly.
Heike turned to High Priest Levina.
“If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to open the way with holy magic.”
The Demon King was also quite good at imitating things.
Building a barrier that resembles a sacred barrier.
However, they have passed the sacred barrier three times. What’s there that can’t pass this?
