Helmut
Episode 474
Wow!
[let’s go!]
Elaga took the lead and ran away, and Helmut and his group ran into a similar situation as before.
Elaga takes the lead, and Baharek follows behind, leading the carriage.
But it was trickier than before.
The monsters at the second barrier were more organized.
Instead of attacking all at once, they attacked sequentially, just as one was being cut down, another attacked.
“Ugh!”
Just as Luke Yeager was splitting the wolf’s head, a squirrel rushed in from the right and bit his arm.
The armor on his shoulder was peeled off, leaving a stab wound.
Luke Yeager threw the squirrel out of the carriage and stabbed the next one right in the head of the fallen wolf.
The attack continued breathlessly.
Taking advantage of the moment, Sian used purification and recovery magic on his shoulder.
“thank you.”
“Careful.”
Asuka screamed from the other side.
“ouch! ouch! “It bit my arm!”
Xian shifted his position and quickly stopped the bleeding on the arm where the flesh had fallen off and used recovery magic.
“You really need to be careful.”
Sian issued a warning. It takes too much work.
“Do you get hurt because you want to hurt someone?”
Asuka complained, her eyes widened and her sword raised.
Why didn’t he inflict a fatal wound?
It was a battle that lasted almost a day without any rest. How difficult it would be to repel all the attacks pouring down like arrows raining down on the carriage.
It’s a shame that the people here are among the best swordsmen in the human world, otherwise they would all have already become corpses.
Among the prosecutors, the one who was injured the most was Asuka, and the only one who was not injured was Helmut.
The Levant also suffered at least a few scratches.
Ygrel, who takes charge of the rear of the carriage alone and boasts fearsome majesty, is an exception.
Sweat was beading on the faces of the group.
The scattered attacks were launched in a manner that wizards found difficult.
Not only can it not be destroyed by large-scale attack magic like before, but it can even avoid magic attacks.
Most attack spells are cast as area spells. Those who moved extremely fast could sense the direction of the magic and dodge when the magic rained down on them.
If you are hit by magic from the outskirts, you can avoid some degree of shock.
When I tried to hit them one by one with magic, there was a clever one who lured the magic and twisted his body in the air to avoid it.
Those extraordinary movements and organizational skills.
There is no way an ordinary monster could do that.
If you look at the rulers of the area, they just ignorantly oppress them with force and magic, and they don’t fight tactfully.
Area frowned.
‘It must be the rule of the devil.’
As a collection of will, its ability to control individual monsters is excellent.
It’s as if he controls and controls each and every monster with countless minds.
In this situation, magic is useless for anything other than counterattack or protection.
‘If things continue like this, magical energy will only be wasted.’
No matter how good a wizard he was, there were limitations in Pahe Forest.
Area and Heike decided to help protect the party by recovering their magical powers.
Xian protected the carriage with spirits and occasionally helped the party with recovery magic.
Just as the rulers of the realm show off their power like an inexhaustible spring, it was he who had the most unworn power.
Although the vessel called Xian has its limitations, it cannot use all its power, but the source of Xian’s power is the spirit of the earth.
He was doing his job well even with a small bowl.
Area and Heike compared the translucent black barrier as if observing it.
The barrier that was vaguely visible from a very far away has become closer.
What they must do is break through that black barrier.
High Priest Levina’s power must be saved until the moment she reaches the Demon King.
Since we have broken through the sacred barrier, it would be possible to break through that black barrier, which is obviously weaker, using a similar principle.
But that black barrier. It’s not unusual. As I got closer, a resonant sound that seemed to be made by the barrier itself rang dizzyingly in my ears.
Ji-ing! Jiing!
It was as if he was giving instructions to a monster. The closer I got to the barrier, the louder the sound got.
Elaga, who had gone far, seemed to have slowed down and gradually got closer.
[I need to be next to the carriage.]
Elaga could not explain his actions well. I just move according to my instincts.
Area filled his mouth with Rosetta pills.
Elaga circled around the carriage, her eyes lit up, and she began to kill the monsters.
He showed off his ferocity by biting the back of the neck of a monster that was trying to attack a carriage and crushing it with his front paws.
The speed was incredible, but the destructive power was also fearsome.
The central area, an atmosphere filled with demonic energy. It would be strange if Elaga was not overflowing with power.
Thanks to this, the speed of the breakthrough slowed down, but the party became safer.
The density of monsters did not decrease, but they were dispatched like inertia, showing off all the skills I had accumulated over a lifetime.
At one point, while I was only looking ahead, the black barrier got closer.
But something strange happened.
Perhaps it was an unexpected turn of events that should have been guessed.
“Baharek?”
Heike called his name.
[This can’t go on like this.]
Baharek suddenly stopped standing tall and let out a groan.
[No more… … I don’t think I should go.]
Rosetta’s pills were of no use.
The sound coming from the barrier was getting stronger. Tinnitus rang throughout my eardrums.
It doesn’t work by blocking the sound. A ringing sound that seems to pierce the nerves.
Baharek endured a stabbing headache. But there was a limit to what we could endure.
He knew. The moment he touches that black barrier, he will no longer be able to endure it.
Izzy, who had come back to life clearly after taking Rosetta’s pill, was becoming blurred.
The devil told me the moment to stop.
Quack! puck!
“me too. “I don’t think I can get any closer than this.”
Igrel opened his mouth after defeating the monster. A headache that felt like it was tearing his head apart. He is still bearable, but he cannot overcome the barrier.
If you go any further than this, you will lose yourself.
[Weak guys!]
Shouting, Elaga lashed out at the monsters flocking to the carriage with her tail.
[If you stop here, those who passed by will also come flocking to you! Make a decision quickly!]
Unlike Baharek and Ygrel, he still seemed to have strength.
Baharek turned his head and said to the carriage.
[We deal with monsters. I’ll look after you, so go through the black barrier.]
“You guys keep going. If you guys pass… … “We will move out of the central region.”
Area immediately moved and untied the rope from Baharek’s body.
He then gave Ygrel a magic bag full of Rosetta’s wreaths.
“Move with Baharek. “It would be difficult if we were manipulated and returned to the central area.”
“Okay, I’ll try to hold on. “I think it’ll be okay once we get out of here.”
Ygrel wrinkled his nose.
And she quickly jumped on Baharek’s back.
[what? This crazy bird!]
“Watch your mouth. We’re not supposed to be together. “You eat this too.”
Igrel threw a lot of Rosetta pills into Baharek’s mouth, which turned its head and opened its mouth as if to bite.
Baharek chewed the pill with a disapproving look on his face.
[Even if it falls, I don’t know.]
“Don’t worry, it will take care of itself. Well then, you guys go ahead! Succeed and survive!”
Igrel waved his hand, his pink hair fluttering. These were words that contained the most important things.
The composition of the party has changed. Elaga stood where Baharek had been with a bug-bitten face.
He also knew what he had to do. In an instant, the string was wrapped around his body.
Now he had to pull the carriage in place of Baharek. While crushing the guys that are attacking you in front of you.
[shit.]
And Baharek and Ygrel guarded the rear of the party.
While there was a short delay, the monsters that had passed by were coming. I had to hurry.
But there wasn’t much left until the black barrier.
Elaga kicked off the ground and took off. The carriage carrying her entire body heaved.
Coogung!
The humans on the carriage stumbled all at once. Shock shook my stomach.
Helmut opened his mouth.
“Ella, if you run like that.”
[Fight with all your might! If I run like this, they won’t be able to stick to me, right?]
That was right. As the carriage started bouncing as if it was alive, the attacking monster fell away.
Of course, it was equally difficult for the people riding on it to control their bodies. Somehow I was able to swing the sword.
Holding on so as not to be thrown off the carriage.
“Oooh! “I feel like I’m going to get motion sick.”
Asuka was stern. After less than five minutes of Elaga running like that, the faces of her companions turned completely white.
Although it was less comfortable than riding on Elaga’s back, it was difficult to call it comfortable.
The only consolation is that the black barrier is getting closer.
[But how are you going to overcome the barrier? That is the magic barrier.]
Elaga asked. Since he is a monster, there is no problem in crossing that barrier.
The problem was that the Demon King’s rule was infiltrating my mind, but I thought I could endure it.
But humans were the problem.
In order for Elaga to destroy it, he must absorb the demonic energy of the barrier, and in the process, it becomes easier for the demon lord to penetrate his mind.
Therefore, this is the responsibility of humans.
“Breaking the barrier is… … “Let’s do it with magic.”
“There are no monsters right in front of the barrier. “Let’s get there.”
After Area, Heike spoke quickly.
Just as she said, there was an empty monster about twenty steps away from the barrier.
It seems like they can’t move around freely either.
Area and Heike, who had freed the group from motion sickness with magic, looked at each other.
With that alone, it seemed like we both knew what to do.
Heike opened his mouth.
“You take the first round. “I’m the second one.”
“Not together?”
“Two consecutive impacts are more useful in shaking the barrier than one strong impact.”
“Okay, let’s do that. The strength of the barrier is… … .”
Area used magic to check the state of the barrier. If you pour in your magical power and use attack magic, you may be able to break through the carriage for a while.
That was enough.
Elaga’s rough driving seemed to have had an effect, and they arrived at the barrier faster than expected.
Elaga was really close to the barrier.
Frowning as the chirping sound pierced his eardrums, he waited.
[I’m going to lie down here, so get through it quickly!]
The back of the carriage was exposed to monsters, but that was as expected. They also stopped attacking to see if they could get closer than a certain range to the barrier.
In the distance, only the sound of Baharek and Ygrel striking down the monster rang out violently.
Area and Heike prepared their magic.
