NOVEL NEXT chapter 97
97 – Warrior of Salvation (3)
“Ouch… .”
“Save me, Captain… .”
“It hurts, it hurts… .”
Inside the barracks was a living hell.
Painful voices and grunts filled the barracks.
Looking at the scene, I bit my lip.
It was a trace of a ruthless and terrible demon.
Why has mankind been fighting the demons for so long?
Why were the demons always enemies of the warriors?
I could tell just by looking at the scene in front of my eyes.
“Come this way… .”
Carlos, slightly silent in front of the gruesome scene, soon guided me.
A bedroom that seems to be divided into spaces.
It looked like a hospital room that Karin was using as a single room.
do you go inside
I saw Karin lying down with her eyes closed with a haggard face.
“… … .”
“I told you in advance, but I have been unconscious for several days. All visible traumas have been treated, but internal wounds still remain and I am not able to come to my senses.”
I could feel Carlos talking, suppressing his voice.
in front of Karin’s closest family.
As a superior, it would not be easy for him to talk about a subordinate’s serious condition without taking any action.
I nodded my head in exchange for an answer, then moved closer to Karin.
She was lying there with a dark complexion sweating.
Her beautiful face was ruined by the energy of the disease.
“are you okay.”
I ran a hand through Karin’s hair.
In a life that was like a doll.
Karin, who saved me with a bright smile.
Four years ago, during the Demon War, I told her the answer, and now, four years later, it was my turn to save her once again.
“It will be fine, Karin.”
I can ask again and again.
Traces of the years I’ve lived.
The decisive reason for my life.
If you are heading for someone’s salvation.
I was able to dedicate everything I had accumulated so far.
“Whoa… .”
I took out the magic tools I had prepared in advance from my magic bag.
[Fake Elixir].
The last of the potion-type magic tools learned from Cloudy.
As long as the hero’s condition was not death, instant treatment was possible for any internal injury or trauma.
The head of the Central Church of the Empire.
Even if a priest of that level came to visit, the divine power of the [Fake Elixir] could not match.
“… portion?”
“Uh, what the heck… ”
I hear the panicked voices of several members standing around, led by Carlos.
I didn’t care about that, and slowly injected the [Fake Elixir] into Karin’s mouth.
A potion that can be said to be the best among the potions.
Not regretting that modifier, Karin slowly recovered her face as soon as the [Fake Elixir] was administered.
After administering all the potions, I immediately continued the flow.
Divine magic [Cure] spreads in the right hand.
It was the moment when the divine talent was released among the many talents that existed in me.
“ah… !!”
“That is the power of a multi-talented warrior… ”
“Everything, Captain! Karin… Karin’s face… !!”
Like the words of the members who make a fuss around them.
Karin’s complexion improved rapidly.
The effect of [Fake Elixir] does not lie.
A potion that can heal any injury, not just the dead.
and not long after
Karin opened her eyes.
I smiled lightly as I looked at her blinking eyes with a puzzled face.
“I’m here to get you again. Karin.”
* * *
“Then how much time has passed?”
Karin got up from the hospital bed and immediately walked around the barracks with me.
I wanted to hug you as hard as I could, saying that you worked hard, but…
There were so many eyes of the members that I had to stop with a walk.
It wasn’t exactly a walk, it was a reconnaissance to check the monsters’ movements.
“About three days? After hearing the news from the imperial palace, I remembered Karin and ran right away.”
“… Were you worried about me?”
“You say that? I thought the world was collapsing.”
At my words, Karin laughed bashfully.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I worried about you and ran to you at once?
It seemed that she had already erased her injuries from her memory.
“Then where are you going now?”
“hmm… .”
At Karin’s question, I looked at the walls surrounding the imperial palace.
thump- thump-
The footsteps of heavy monsters could be heard from all sides, and the trumpet sounded to announce that war was on.
War.
Yes.
Now, we are fighting the demon war again after 4 years.
This bloody war ended only when the subject of the war died.
“To the Demon King. I have to go to the demon lord of greed, Mamon.”
“… Devil?”
“huh. too many people died will continue to die We must end this war as soon as possible.”
At my confident words, Karin’s eyes shook for a moment.
“that… Why do you have to do it?”
At that, I turned my head slightly and looked at her.
Eyes full of anxiety.
It was just like the face I had when I heard the news about Karin.
Maybe I’m afraid I’ll be wrong.
I understand her heart a hundred times, but my choice has not changed.
“Lude Gale is virtually dead, and there is no one on the continent who can deal with the Demon King except for him.”
“… So you’re saying you can deal with Sacher?”
“Eventually someone has to do it.”
I turned my head again and looked at the wall.
thump- thump-
If it’s a monster that can make such a roar…
Probably an A-class monster, Minotaur.
It seemed that there were quite a few barriers to pass through to reach Mamon, the demon of greed.
“And preferably, someone who knows quite a bit how to do it better.”
too many people died
To prevent a further tragedy, we had to overcome our fears and move forward.
Today I.
I came here to kill the Demon King.
* * *
After arriving for the first time, killing all the monsters including the gremlins and curing Karin, quite some time has passed.
As I expected, the Minotaur, an A-class monster, appeared.
thump- thump-
The identity of the roar that had been ringing from earlier belonged to them.
“All the knights forward. Ranged warriors, including magicians, serve as rear support.”
Guard Knight Commander, Carlos, gave the order with a feeling of vomiting blood.
The few remaining knights and warriors.
Carlos had to order them to advance.
If you give up because you’re afraid, everything is over.
Karin, who had just woken up from a hospital bed, also grabbed a rapier.
She was frustrated with my decision to confront the demon king, but quickly regained her original self and supported me.
I was so afraid that I would go wrong, but in the end they believed in me.
thump- thump-
Ooh–!!
With the roar of the Minotaur, a group of them began to appear.
Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty…
The number of Minotaurs increased endlessly.
‘crazy. How the hell is that… ‘
The number stopped when it reached gear nose hundred.
Class A monster.
Among them, the Minotaur is famous for its excellent fighting power.
There were as many as a hundred of them in front of the wall.
And that wasn’t the end.
“All right, Captain. excuse me… !!”
One member pointed to a figure among the minotaurs.
Bigger than Minotaur, infinite size and height.
and… .
‘A lycanthrope?’
A human in the form of a wolf.
The demon, which appeared to be a lycanthrope, was in the center.
“Fenrir! This is Fenrir, Captain!”
“Mi, crazy… !! How the hell did Fenrir and 100 Minotaurs… ”
All the members were confused by the overwhelming force.
Still, it wasn’t without a solution.
If I use my two golems, [Vita Taker] and [Giant Reaper], to spend as much time as possible, and Carlos and Karin and other core forces work together to hunt down Fenrir.
It didn’t seem difficult to break through them and enter the palace.
But that was then.
thump- thump-
Ooh-!!
The unbelievable roar was heard again.
This time it was behind the human union.
“Mi, the Minotaur again… !!”
“One hundred, one hundred again!”
The Minotaur 100 in front was not all.
They must have come all the way through the back gate of the imperial palace before they knew it, and an additional 100 troops occupied the rear of the human union.
100 Minotaurs in front and Fenrir.
100 Minotaurs in the rear.
Actually we are now.
It was a situation that was no different from being surrounded by a coalition of monsters.
‘not good… .’
I quickly analyzed the battlefield in my mind.
There was no way in sight.
Even the main personnel in charge of the front line, the driver’s team, was all put into the front.
At this rate, there was a risk that all support personnel in the rear would be swept away by the Minotaur.
I could block it right now with my golems, but that has its limits.
In addition, if the golem was used in the rear, the risk of being penetrated in the front increased even more.
‘What should I do?’
A situation in which there is no clear solution.
Her head, which normally rotated rapidly, stopped moving in the face of such a hopeless situation.
“Sacher! excuse me!”
And then.
I turned my head at the sound of Karin’s voice calling me.
A group of Minotaurs filled the front and rear.
As if crossing them, a group of humans rushed from the left and right as if pouring.
Wow-!!
A cheer that seems to bring momentum.
One of the members who was watching him thoughtfully shouted.
“Academy! These are the reinforcements of the Imperial Academy!”
The imperial academy was full of chaos due to the raid of monsters.
The personnel there finally defeated the obstacle and arrived here as reinforcements.
And that wasn’t all.
-Geuhuh!!
I heard a familiar, but slightly awkward, scream.
The protagonist of the scream immediately appeared behind us and stopped the Minotaurs.
“Felik! It’s the Empire’s standard golem, Felik! Looks like the golem alchemist from the academy came as reinforcements!”
A standard golem used by golem alchemists, which are rare in the empire.
[Felik].
However, the parts and shape of the guy that appeared were quite familiar and familiar to me.
And I knew the owner of this golem better than anyone else.
“Sacher senior! We’re here… !!”
One junior waving his hand from afar.
Chris Akrion.
From last summer vacation to the new semester, he was a decent ‘golem alchemist’ whom I had worked hard to raise.
