32 – Do you know why I am strong? It’s because they just ran away!(2)

Inside the church, there were chairs carved out of wood and symbols made by weaving grass and flowers. After a while, Bayard, who had gone inside, returned with a teacup.

It was a very different impression from what I had heard from Ruby. Especially since you can’t even make eye contact with me right now. Of course, since I’ve lived in that hell, I’m sure of my skills.

Or maybe it was because he experienced hell that his personality changed. It can be enough. Many of his comrades died right in front of his eyes, and he almost died himself. It’s not natural to change.

I swallowed dry saliva. Now, from my point of view, I have to somehow convince Bayard, who has fallen so far, to take me. But, would that be the right thing to do?

Bayard had his head bowed. It was sad to see that Still, I must speak. At that time, Ruby, who put her legs on the desk, spoke.

“Now I’m going to stop talking about it. Let’s go back quickly.”

“I-I’m sorry. As expected, I’m useless…”

“Ruby, you should be quiet.”

Even if you try to coax it slowly, you’re going to put your hat on. It was Ruby who was scratching Bayard’s insides on her own. Thanks to that, only the one sitting next to me was in trouble. I looked into Bayard’s eyes.

Unexpectedly, Bayard was smiling bitterly. Instead, her auburn hair and the beast’s ears atop her head quivered slightly. It was an embarrassing situation.

Even if I dragged it by force, it would have been fine if the power was negative. It will never help. But there is no time to slowly persuade. damn, how do you do it?

“I’m sorry. Nothing like me was helpful…”

“No, it’s not like that. Just being with you is enough.”

“yes yes?!”

“Captain? Are you proposing right now?”

“Speak nonsense in moderation.”

I am speaking only as the strength of the Royal Knights. Survivors like Bayard are especially helpful to us. Not to mention skills. Above all, experience.

It was clear that the experience of returning alive from hell would become flesh and blood for us. Plus, you’re part of the golden generation. I’m sure you can take over the position of captain of the Royal Knights.

Of course, considering her personality, it would be difficult. Let’s put that matter aside for now. I’m still wondering if I should come back or not. If you put pressure on them by being the leader or something, they will run away right away.

I fully understand Bayard’s situation. The depth of her pain is not something I dare to predict. But, even so. I had no choice but to ask.

“Bayard, I need your strength. Could you please help me?”

“That, that’s…”

“Wait a minute, Captain. Before that, there’s a problem to solve.”

“A problem to solve?”

I expressed my doubts. I heard you’re close with Bayard. What’s wrong with you two? when i was thinking so Ruby, who had been sitting still, suddenly drew out her weapon.

“It means that an uninvited guest has come.”

“That’s right. It’s not a demon… It looks like a monster.”

“Monster…?”

“That’s right. There was a monster following us.”

“…”

yeah, i didn’t know Why didn’t you report to me? Looking at Ruby with the feeling of saying, Ruby shrugged and said.

“The captain didn’t already know. But he just stayed quiet, so I just stayed quiet.”

“…”

Since you’re the leader, please don’t say things like it’s natural. First of all, I’m not even a real leader. I let out a sigh. Anyway, we were tailed when we came here.

No, wait. Rather, this could have been an opportunity. The fact that the monsters came here means that the current location of this place has been exposed. I said looking at Bayard.

“First, let’s go to Lionheart Fortress.”

“Yes? Ha, but that’s too sudden…!!”

“Since the location has been discovered, there is nothing we can do about it.”

“That, that’s right. It’s dangerous to keep going…”

“Yeah, that’s it.”

I exclaimed for joy inwardly. Somehow, he succeeded in dragging him to Lionheart Fortress. I don’t know, how to naturally move your mind when your body is close. i was aiming for that

Plus, there’s Cluna in Lionheart Fortress right now. If it was Cluna’s warm motherly love, it would undoubtedly be able to take care of Bayard’s pain to some extent.

But before that, the first thing to do is to deal with the monsters that followed us. But just then, Bayard suddenly burst through the cathedral door and ran out. what is that why are you like that

“It’s already started.”

“You said it started?”

“It’s like that. Why did that timid Gomtaeng take the lead?”

“…”

“That’s because your personality changes when you go into battle!”

With a really calm face, Ruby dropped bombs casually. So, in simple terms, is it a double personality? Even his personality changes completely when the battle starts?

I shook my head. So what do you mean? What is a double personality? My current situation is that I have to somehow use the rolling leaves as long as my skills are clear.

Quaang! bang!

It seems that Ruby’s words were not lies. An explosion was already heard outside. I ran out of the cathedral a little late. And thanks to that, I could barely see it.

“Die, die, die!!!”

The figure of Bayard, who was laughing out loud with red bloodshot eyes, literally bursting monsters. It was just madness. I looked around in silence.

The monsters that attacked us were the blade wolves we had seen before, and skeleton-type monsters with ashes clad in armor. Even though they are all treated like trash mobs.

The problem was the number. It was because it was an enormous army that surrounded the cathedral. It was impossible for any country to deal with an army of this magnitude. I thought so.

“Is that why you entrusted the vanguard?”

“That’s right.”

“Is there any possibility of team killing by going out of control?”

“If that’s the case, I couldn’t even become the Royal Knights.”

“That too.”

I nodded at Ruby’s point. Certainly, if there were flaws like that, they couldn’t have become the Royal Knights. Of course, it’s really scary to see them covered in blood and slaughtered.

Still on our side I crossed my arms and continued to observe it. Eventually, the demons surrounding the cathedral were completely torn apart by Bayard in an instant.

“Bayard! That’s enough!”

“Krukreuk…”

“huh?”

“Huh? How come you’re not feeling well?”

“……!!!”

I hurriedly ran forward. It was because Bayard’s gaze, bloodshot red, was directed at us. ah, please probably not… … Because I had no intention of being optimistic in that way.

And thanks to that, I was able to save Ruby. In a moment when I couldn’t even blink, everything around me turned gray. thanks i was able to see it

The image of Bayard, who had come close to me before I knew it, and stretched out a hand stained with blood. Recognizing it, I bent my body and canceled the time stop. A very short time, less than one second.

However, Bayard instinctively sensed that he had evaded the attack in that short time and instinctively attacked me again. Holy sh*t, I can’t avoid it because of the cooldown… … !! when I thought

“uh?”

For some reason, time stopped again. why? Wasn’t it a cooldown? But there is no time to even feel puzzled. I immediately canceled the time stop and avoided Bayard’s attack.

“leader?!”

“It’s dangerous, get out of the way!!”

“Oh ahhhhh!”

I gritted my teeth and turned my head. I haven’t figured it out for sure yet. It was well worth experimenting with. I ran forward. Bayard also attacked me right away.

Just before the powerful front paws swung like a bear touches it, it is in danger of dying, and a time stop is triggered. Then I recognize the attack and move at the same time as releasing the time tablets.

A short time of less than 1 second.

However, even if the first attack is evaded, the next attack will come immediately. Like a beast’s instinct, it was an attack specialized for hunting. However, the attack did not reach me. I stuck out my tongue.

“I never thought there would be an application like this.”

Originally, time stop has a cooldown. Now I keep using it again and again, but it has decreased to about 1.8 times. However, there is one fact that I just found out from the fight with Bayard.

When stopping for less than 1 second.

The time stop cooldown does not run.

But things aren’t getting better. As soon as he recognizes the attack, he must evade while canceling the time stop. There is no room left for attacking.

What does that mean?

save me, f*ck

* * *

What the hell does this mean?

Ruby trembled at her own pathetic feelings. Even though I acknowledged him as the leader. Because he was like a rookie to the Royal Knights. So, you have to lead yourself.

In a way, though, Ruby had thoughts close to an act of exceeding authority. What happened this time shattered that idea. Was it because they were close friends? No, it’s not like that.

I just couldn’t respond. If the captain hadn’t stepped forward, he might have been split in half by Bayard. To that extent, Bayard’s power and speed were formidable.

It was natural.

Bayard was one of the few members of the Royal Knights that Captain Yuren acknowledged. As far as face-to-face confrontation was concerned, he was a person who could fight head-to-head with Yu Ren.

“Are you dodging all the attacks…?!”

And, what caught Ruby’s eyes. This is the appearance of Hans, who is leisurely avoiding the attack against Bayard. But he didn’t attack. why? why don’t you attack?

If only I could evade the attack like that. It shouldn’t be difficult to subdue Bayard. Ruby already knew why. Because to the captain, we were a family.

That’s why I didn’t want to hurt you.

Unlike that trash.
