chapter 30
30 – To the Battlefield of Maslantia (6)
An afternoon with exceptionally strong sunlight.
The demons felt terrified when they saw the humans in front of them.
Black bobbed hair and black armor that contrast with the white skin.
The bloody pale face was more like a devil than a devil.
“Ha, I originally planned to kill them all, but I’m starting to get tired of them. Guys, can you just get out of the way? Then I’ll save you.”
Her name is Sophia Grace.
With an expert level of 5 stars, she was a high-level talent who could handle mana at a certain level.
“Don’t be ridiculous, human!”
“Do you know how many demons you cut down and say such a thing! I will definitely kill you today.”
Grace fiddles with her ear and she opens her mouth in annoyance.
“You guys are going to kill me? Your dreams are so wild.”
“Shut up, b*tch!”
Her demons run towards her with her fearsome expression.
As if she had formed a great sea, she could have been intimidated by the crowd of demons, but her expression did not waver at all.
“Annoying guys.”
Awesome!
The demon’s body was split vertically.
Then, other demons rushed in with great vigour.
However, it was to no avail.
Her throat is pierced by a blade, and she squirms blood.
“I really hate you guys. You’re stupid. How good would it be to be crooked like them?”
Grace glanced to her side.
Resistance soldiers belonging to her group are fighting other demons at a distance of a certain distance.
The reason was simple.
She didn’t want to die because it was against her.
“Well, then it wouldn’t be fun.”
Grace’s new model disappears in an instant.
The nearby Demons are falling one by one.
Push shush shook.
Awesome!
The demons die without any resistance.
It was such a one-sided slaughter that it could no longer be called a war.
“What’s the difference between you guys and cockroaches?”
Grace pulled her sword from the neck of the demon in front of her.
You know how to talk?
When she thought so, she giggled.
“Everyone, clear the way—!”
“Everybody hit the road—! It’s an order—!”
The loud voices of the demons located in the rear started hitting my eardrums noisily.
The momentum was enough to shake the mountain range and cause a landslide.
“I hate noise, guys.”
Angry Grace frowned and spurred on killing the demons proudly.
However, their movements are a bit odd.
One, two.
It moves sideways like the parting of the Red Sea, and then turns the road.
“What? Are you going to give me a road now?”
Whatever the reason, she was grateful from her point of view.
Thanks to that, she can save time.
That was when the demons moved in perfect order and the road finally opened in a straight line.
“Oh.”
In Grace’s eyes, a new type of man shrouded in sunlight was revealed.
Frowning, let’s block the sunlight with his hand.
Jerking around.
I see Gerard approaching this way.
She knew it instinctively.
That he is the commander of the enemy camp.
Grace also walked over to Gerard.
Little by little, her steps speed up.
Shortly thereafter, she runs at a speed that seems to be able to cover a 100M run in mere seconds.
Long words were not necessary.
Grace kicks the ground and rushes at Gerard.
He raises one little finger with a nonchalant face.
-Taang!
The moment the two clash fiercely.
Flashes, sparks flashed.
“—!”
A chilly silence descended on the hall.
Everyone stared at one spot as if frozen.
“What, what… ?”
“No, nonsense!”
“… Are you a monster?”
Demons, humans. Both of you had a shocked expression on your face.
Grace’s attack, which could tear through thick armor, was blocked with only one little finger.
“You don’t have the slightest hint of manners.”
“!”
At Gerard’s words, Grace tumbled backwards three times with a puzzled face, increasing the distance.
Then, as if in search, she looked him up and down.
“… What are you?”
Grace’s pupils trembled slightly.
The attack just now was a powerful attack that lightly cut even a large rock.
It was impossible to stop it with just one finger.
“I will die soon, do I need to know?”
Gerard flicks his hand with a relaxed face.
I was told to come in properly.
“To be arrogant… !”
Grace bent his knees, and it ricocheted off him like a bullet.
It’s faint, but a bluish sword shimmers on her sword.
Although it was not yet at the level of using Aura, it was a level of swordsmanship that could lightly slash the neck of a Minotaur.
It is a self-evident fact that his body will become tattered like a rag after a while.
She draws her oblique line with her skirt raised.
Teeing!
“—!”
The sword spins high up in the sky and plunges into the floor.
“Turn it off—!!!!!”
Grace screamed.
No doubt, the leather of his hand was lying on the floor, separated from the bone.
The reason is none other than inertia.
Her blow, which was so powerful, was rather like cutting herself in the foot.
However, Grace had no way of knowing this fact.
Unaware of her defensive power, she only thought it was an attack so fast that even her eyes couldn’t follow it.
Her eyes start to turn blue.
“I will kill you—!”
“I hope you will.”
Gerard said that and spread her hand.
The ring on my index finger became blurry, emitting a yellow light.
The shape of her gun instantly changed.
“Of course, you will die before then.”
Gerard quickly moved in front of Grace.
Instinctively feeling that something was wrong with her, she quickly retreated behind her.
When did she get her torn off hand, she was holding it in her left hand.
Grace took a deep breath and placed his right hand on her arm.
“Keuk-! What are you doing! Aren’t you going to treat me?!”
As soon as she shouted, the resistance magicians who were watching this scene approached.
The green light spreads softly, and her hand gradually sticks to it.
“You look like filthy people—! Healing while throwing up!”
“Hey, ignorant bastards-! Of course this is allowed!”
“Who cares?!”
“Humanity!”
Cried Grace, shaking her hand away from her.
“Noisy—!”
Then he looked back at Gerard with a hateful look on his face.
However, he wasn’t paying attention to himself.
He was talking to his demon with his head turned to the side.
Fast.
It was a moment that hurt my pride.
Grace pulls out a sword worn by a soldier next to her.
Sureung!
I kicked off the ground and rushed towards him.
Soldiers around me quickly pass by.
It didn’t take long to get close to him.
I can hear the sound of Gerard and the demons talking softly.
“Ilgito, what do you mean by that?”
“Yes? Weren’t you chatting with that woman?”
“… When did I say do it? I just said get out of the way!”
Grace raised her voice and shouted.
“Arrogant bastard! Ignore me?! Apologize with death!”
He reached her gun nonchalantly, not looking at her.
Grace had no idea what kind of weapon it was.
He ran without stopping.
“Die—!”
That moment when she got close to Gerard’s nose.
He pulled the trigger.
Pufuuuah!
Light flashed from the muzzle along with a fierce explosion, and the condensed mana burst through the air.
Manatan drew a straight trajectory and pierced Grace’s head at once.
She couldn’t even scream and she died instantly with a face of disbelief.
“—!!!!”
The faces of those who were watching the scene were all colored with astonishment.
What did Grace look like on the battlefield? She
She was the one who didn’t even lift an eye even when hundreds or thousands of people rushed at her.
But, can she die in vain like this?
The soldiers couldn’t believe it even though they were seeing it with their own two eyes.
Clink.
Chin.
Resistance soldiers threw their weapons on the ground.
It was not important to believe or not believe.
Now that Robert, the original commander, had passed out, Grace was undoubtedly the leader of the battlefield.
And, the boss just died helplessly.
He was defeated in Ilto.
Besides, there is a bigger reason than this.
“We….”
“I lost….”
I didn’t have the confidence to deal with the monster that defeated Grace.
The demons who were watching the scene quietly muttered in disbelief.
“… Did you win?”
“We?”
-Wooaaa!
The sound of shouts that make your throat explode is powerful.
As if the demons were almost at a festival, they started jumping around.
It felt like all the hardships of the past were flying away.
Painful memories of losing a comrade to a human.
Even the sad memories of going to war in the base area starving all day.
It felt like everyone was being rewarded at this moment.
“My lord! We won!”
They looked at the protagonist who led this war to victory.
Without the 7 Lords, I could be sure that this war could never have been won.
“… Ha.”
However, the face of the person concerned did not look happy at all.
Instead, a shadow was cast over her face.
“My lord… ?”
He opened his mouth in a cool tone.
“To all of you who thought you were throwing up, f*ck your head.”
The faces of the demons darken in an instant.
**
Ilto is a very simple structured rule that decides the outcome of a war by conducting a one-on-one mounted war between enemy generals on the battlefield.
It is said that the main purpose was to raise the morale of the soldiers or to minimize unnecessary loss of troops, which the Japanese did a lot.
Anyway, this is not the point.
The problem.
‘Damn it, I was only trying to help Grace….’
I had no intention of even leading the war to victory for the demons.
Grace drastically reduced the number of demons.
It could have been designed as a picture in which her demons would be narrowly defeated if only she was captured.
But how did this happen?
‘I should have recognized it then.’
Somehow, since the first clash with Grace, the surroundings have become quiet. I wondered why they were not going to war and were leisurely watching.
Who knew that I would think I was throwing up with her.
“Okay, my lord… Can you please forgive me now?”
Sitting on Sirius’ back, I said firmly.
“No.”
“We are really sorry…. Seeing his spleen appearance, of course, I thought he was vomiting. As proof of that, even the humans… Didn’t you think so?”
“Commander, you are lost in black-and-white logic. If you spleen, do you throw up everything? You still don’t know the crime. An extra 30 minutes.”
The soldiers let out a sigh at my words.
Shortly thereafter, the resistance soldiers who are banging their heads next to them open their mouths.
“Ooh, why do we have to bang our heads?”
‘You guys are the biggest problem.’
It was definitely given three or three chances.
Even so, I can’t cooperate and troll like this, so I’m frustrated or not.
I’d like to give you a bigger punishment, but the fall of Maslantia doesn’t mean the resistance will completely disintegrate.
“Don’t say anything. Before you guys add 30 minutes.”
“Gup!”
I sighed and suddenly had a thought.
‘But, did it work out better?’
The overlord’s order is to annihilate humans.
In other words, it was about recapturing the battlefield of Maslantia and winning.
So I was one of the two.
Lose the trust of the overlord by defeating the demons.
Or win the war by slaughtering humans.
In conclusion, I caught both rabbits with this incident.
It’s not that there was no damage at all, but humans didn’t die at the level of massacre.
In any case, since he led the battlefield to victory, it means that he also gained the trust of the overlord.
What’s surprising is that I didn’t intend to do anything on this battlefield.
‘… Does thinking like this make you feel better?’
I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck.
There is no fisherman’s geography like this.
I got down from Sirius’s back with a big smile.
The mission must have been completed. I’m going to go to the overlord soon.
