38 – three chances

In case you don’t know, we need to raise the next generation of warriors..!!

But to be honest, my strength is insignificant.

It was Odrox who stopped the attacks of the demons and monsters, and Lian was the one who took care of the mentality of the party and healed the injured.

The one who was just the center was Rain, and the one in charge of firepower to deal with the enemies was Solar.

All four of them were so strong that I wondered if they were out of human form, and they were also great in terms of personality. I could tell just by looking at how he carried me to the end.

To be honest, I think I was a little helpful when navigating an open field or a labyrinth. Knowing the enemy’s information in advance could take a significant advantage in battle.

However, when fighting the most important demon king, my role was zero.

Her body is weak, her swordsmanship is mediocre, her magic is at a level that can’t even replace Solar’s, her holy power is nothing, and she even dies alone because of the curse.

It’s literally a lump of baggage that isn’t even worth being a target.

Well, anyway, the results were good. No one died, no one was so seriously injured that any part of their body was beyond use.

The important thing now is that the devil appeared at this point when our party members’ fighting abilities had not yet died, and unlike before, there were many adventurer candidates with the talent and will to take responsibility for the peace of the continent in the future.

A fragment of a broken core was found among the wreckage.

I was looking for this.

The last time I attacked the Mobile Fortress, I had finished it off with a nuclear strike. I remember how the round, sleek guy who looked like he couldn’t even speak was teasing his mouth very hard.

I think the devil said something there too… I cut off the words in the middle so I couldn’t hear everything.

I put a piece of green light into my backpack. I’ll have to talk to Solar later.

Further searching of the wreckage did not reveal anything else of interest. Only the corpses of monsters that had been horribly destroyed by the members of a separate group could be seen.

Looks like we’re the only ones who met the devil.

fortunately If they came out in groups at all, it would have been just a disaster.

I got up and brushed off my pants.

Even when I looked around, all I could see was grass and trees. It was a stifling situation for people I didn’t know well, but I didn’t really care.

I went alone through deserts, jungles, abysses, coasts, ruins, etc.

There were countless enemies on my hands who were in more desperate situations than this, but in the end I somehow found a way out.

This is nothing.

..maybe.

met the devil

Words that were nothing short of lightning bolts came out of Al Sola’s mouth.

In particular, the brows of the first warrior party members who directly experienced the overwhelming power are frowned at the same time.

The duke hesitates for a moment, but looks at the surprised members as if wondering. The other 7 stars also secretly look at them.

It’s like, ‘How strong is the devil to react like that?’ seems to be asking

“Has any of you here ever actually dealt with a demon?”

Rain looks at the 7-star members and says. Of course, since they were not active before the Demon King was defeated, they couldn’t raise their hands.

“So, has anyone actually seen the devil?”

At that, the duke, who looked a little older, raised his hand slightly.

“But.. I just glimpsed it from a distance, so I couldn’t see exactly what it looked like. I only saw a shadow from far away while evacuating..”

In the end, that was the same as saying that it was no different from the other 7 castles that I couldn’t see and didn’t fight.

“Who is the strongest among adventurers right now?”

“The strongest adventurer among the characters active in Hidin.. is Horn Melik, a platinum-class adventurer. He is known to mainly use a spear.”

“Who is the strongest among the mercenaries?”

“Across the continent, it must be O’Brien Lil Zernom.. He’s a newcomer, so it’s not official, but…”

“Even if those two fight together, they won’t be able to survive for even 3 minutes if they fight demons in the Pandemonium. Even if they come out to the human world and become weak, they’ll last 10 minutes before dying.”

The duke made an expression that seemed incomprehensible to her calm words. It was the same with the other 7 stars, and Merton, who was naturally curious, stepped forward and asked her directly.

“Can I ask why?”

“This is because the demonic energy emitted by demons acts as poison to our body. If we do not get used to it over time, our body and senses will become dull and the speed of circulation of magical energy around our body will also slow down.”

Since it is the horse of Lane, who entered the demon realm and fought the demons himself, he was more trusted, and that is why he is even more anxious.

Maybe if another member had said that, it could have been dismissed as a joke. However, the Lane they knew was a person who did not lie.

It was not unusual for her, who had the strength to give relief in itself, to say ‘dangerous’ so calmly.

However, on the other hand, there were also doubts about the strength of Lane, who is now only the dean of the academy.

hero.

but at one time.

Maybe now, a falling star.

It’s been quite a while since I didn’t show my strength.

If you don’t use the original weapon, it will rust, and if you don’t use combat skills, it will only degenerate.

Merton, who had been touring the Demon Realm with her, had the same doubts as them.

Isn’t it that the monster is weak in the way he cuts the monster so easily? That was what caused the illusion.

Their arrogance continued to rise due to the title of 7 stars and the neighbors and residents who promoted themselves.

And the result is

“But. To be honest, aren’t the first hero and his companions now waning stars? Each of them haven’t been in actual combat, and there are a lot of adventurers with enough talent now.”

It gave birth to an act of making fun of the mouth.

They don’t remember what happened after, including when they were beaten by O’Drox.

It means that they forgot about the fact that they couldn’t even use it and just stretched out.

That’s why you can come out like this confidently.

At their words, Lian nodded slightly and accepted their words.

“It could be, because this many people weren’t active when we acted.”

Backed by her words, Merton begins to make bolder statements. It was because his head was filled with the pride of being a member of the Seven Stars.

“Al Sola-sama said that he met the devil himself. It’s good to subdue the devil with a hump, but.

‘It’s going to suck.’

Even though Odrox thought so, he waited for Al Sola to warmly push the naughty juniors.

However, no matter how much time passed, Al Sola did not react. If it was her usual, she would have cursed like a mad dog right away at the words and actions that ignored her.

“Hump.. hump, what are you talking about again..?”

When the duke, who did not understand why, said that, Merton shrugged his shoulders as if it had just turned out well and began to speak subtly to disparage Al Sola.

“Ah. That’s why Al Sola is said to be a person he likes, and why did he include a suspiciously dressed person in his party? I don’t though.”

“Mutton Jean.”

Lane called his name calmly. But Merton’s mouth, which was activated, did not stop.

“Even though he is well versed in magic, he seems to be a bit behind me when it comes to seeing human abilities. The fact that Solar-nim paid attention…”

“Mutton Jean.”

“By any chance, isn’t a dick big enough? So…”

“Mutton Jean.”

“Ah, yes! Hero! Whatever you say…”

“third time.”

“Yes?”

What Rain Guardons do not like.

To discriminate against others for no reason and make fun of one’s mouth recklessly by judging oneself below.

insulting one’s co-workers.

to speak ill of him.

O’Drox, who was very aware of Lane’s anger point, pressed his forehead gently.

third time.

Lane gave it a chance.

Lian cautiously got up from her seat and spoke quietly to the Duke. ‘It could get dirty, so I apologize in advance. And I’m really sorry, but could you please leave for a moment?’ Called.

Solar was silently staring at Merton, who was trying to scorn herself and him at the same time, as if thinking about something.

Ren tried to stop Merton, who was gradually starting to get out of hand, but when he saw the water that had already been spilled, he started to remain ignorant.

Promius, who was slightly sympathetic to Merton, was reaching for his weapon in case of an unexpected situation.

Merton was the only one who couldn’t grasp the current situation and read the air.

The door is closed.

“So, warrior, to be honest, I don’t even know if demons are that strong. We adventurers…”

squeak-

Tuduk- Took-

Just one cut sound.

The sound of flesh falling to the floor three times.

Merton stopped talking at the sound of a bloody sound that shouldn’t be heard here at least.

I felt emptiness.

I suddenly couldn’t feel the touch of the hand that I had just placed on the desk intact.

And,

“Ah.. aaah!!

Seeing the red puddle slowly expanding around him, Merton began to howl at the burning pain that came a little too late.

“Mutton Jean. Learner.”

He looks up at Lane as he announces his first name, first name, and last name in his usual flat tone.

Emotions were not contained. No, I couldn’t read it.

Because I couldn’t properly adjust my vision to the sudden pain.

why? A warrior, a symbol of nobility? The hero who wants equal treatment?

Does it make sense to draw the knife first here? what is this speed again? Why couldn’t you even figure it out?

Didn’t you step down after becoming the dean? You didn’t even use the holy sword? No, have you ever used a holy sword in the first place?

“I will not tolerate insults to my comrades anymore. I, Reign Guardon. I will execute the 6th star with the authority of the continent’s first star and the first hero.”

The words that he would execute himself, one of the strong chosen too calmly.

Merton shuddered at Lane’s silent wrath and bluffed once.

“Ha..! Muh.. What rights!! Is that even given to a 1 star!? Say something that makes sense!! What rights do 7 stars have the same rights..!! I…”

Even as he felt his vision blur, Merton struggled to keep his composure.

At the same time, he felt warmth in his body.

As the light gathers, the bleeding stops.

Merton was able to catch the fainting spirit, but fell on the floor and rolled over in a puddle of blood.

It was not an easy task to balance and stand up on one leg without an arm.

“Ugh… Lian… Lian-nim! The saintess is on my side!?”

Unable to tell the difference, he turned his head to Lian, who had healed him, and asked for help.

Gradually focused, he recognized four pairs of gazes looking at him.

I was stupidly obsessed with myself and made fun of my mouth carelessly.

Although he regretted it at the time, he could not bring his words scattered into the air back into his mouth.

There was no helping hand that he had longed for.

There was only the gaze looking at himself inorganically.

“Uh.. uh.. over there..”

instinctive fear.

The cold gaze sent by the powerful, as if looking at the enemy.

Feeling like a prey.

“..save…save…”

A slimy liquid flows from the weak bladder, mixing with the pooled blood, but no one pays attention to it now.

I turned my gaze away just in case, but Len Shuri Kisron turned his back and Promius seemed to have been overpowered before I knew it, and he collapsed near the wall and lost consciousness.

there is no one to help you

– After thinking, Merton’s eyes start to well up with tears a step later.

“Ah.. I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry I messed around… I climbed… I’m sorry.

“No need.”

Lane dismissed his best apology.

The corners of her mouth, between her eyebrows, and her gaze were not shaken, as usual.

He held up an iron sword with red blood and a yellow layer of fat, a type commonly seen on the battlefield.
