Chapter 29 – Dalian (3)
*
After the Dalian, the gymnasium was in a festive mood. People clinked their glasses and the laughter didn’t stop.
There were also commoners who approached Victoria and handed her gifts. Victoria pretended not to be insignificant and accepted her gift, but she certainly had a faint smile on her face. She is a rare and beloved aristocrat.
The residents’ gaze toward Kerry was also favorable, as if they were looking at a celebrity. Is this just about coming out?
But is it because the peace was great? The panic when the peace was broken was just as great.
“Hundreds of ghouls have appeared in front of the castle!”
“Quaaaaah!”
“Mom! I’m scared!”
“Is it safe inside the castle?”
Residents who were enjoying the festival fell into panic in an instant. Not just one ghoul, but hundreds of them. It was worth it.
Victoria’s escort knights also seemed to have a sense of crisis.
“My lady. Let’s take refuge in the castle for now. As for the ghouls, we…”
But she, Victoria, only smiled lightly.
“Sounds funny. They’re the ones who came to kill me. It’s like that. They’re just trying to kill me with ghouls. I’ll step out myself. Bring my armor and sword!”
“No! Miss. It’s dangerous.”
“It’s an order. Hurry up!”
Even her escort knights couldn’t stop Victoria. Seeing that Rina is also only shaking her head, her Victoria’s personality is originally like that.
Lina approached Victoria.
“Victoria-sama. We will also help subjugate the ghouls.”
“Oh. That’s good. You guys would be of great help. But I hope you don’t take my share by being too active.Hehe. My hands are itching after a long battle.”
After all, in this world, there is no such thing as a good person but a good person. If you stay calm, Lina will take care of it.
I just need to watch an exorcism safely from a distance and eat rice cakes.
After waiting for a while, the knights appeared on nice horses.
Victoria’s white horse is also visible.
Victoria, who rode her white horse as she wore gorgeous armor, was really cool.
“If you need words too, I will give them to you.”
“It’s faster to run.”
“Me too. I’m used to running.”
Lina and Natasha are mana servants. He didn’t seem to feel the need to ride.
Victoria looked at me as if demanding an answer as I stayed still. I’m not going, why are you like that?
“…I don’t know how to ride a horse.”
It was true. Horses are very expensive animals. There was no way I, an F-class adventurer, had ever ridden a horse.
‘Great. I can naturally fall out of battle.’
It is a battlefield where dangerous ghoul troops advance. There is no way I want to go. Then Victoria reached out to me. What. Suddenly.
Victoria lifted me up with one hand and put me on her back.
“Haha. It’s an honor to know. You’re the first man to ride behind me.”
“No. Wait, I’m thinking of going…”
“Hey! Let’s go!”
‘Chew! I have no intention of going!’
My words were drowned out by the sound of the troopers running. I’m not in shape, but should I ask for it to be taken down now?
It was a troubling moment.
Then Lina raised her thumb at me. It is not easy to betray that face full of trust.
“I will protect you, West!”
‘Okay. Natasha! There is only you Please protect me!’
In the end, Kerry was brought to the front of hers with Victoria’s ride behind her.
*
Kerry thought calmly as her horse ran. She had a question that never left her mind.
‘Why did a ghoul appear in front of the castle? Weren’t the ghouls preparing in the castle? Maybe it’s a bucket.’
Because of her voodoo, she prepared Natasha a large quantity of holy water. That soon got on her mind, she explained to Victoria.
“What? Ghouls might appear inside the castle too?”
“It’s probably not a complete ghoul. With holy water, you can restore it to its original state.”
“But… There can’t be that many precious holy water.”
“It’s okay. I’ve already prepared the holy water for the temple. If Victoria gives orders to the temple, the worst can be avoided.”
“…Did you predict the current situation? After all, you’re an unusual man.”
I feel like the overestimation is getting bigger and bigger. Victoria told the story of what I had done to her driver who was running alongside her.
Then one of the knights broke away from the ranks and ran to the temple.
Lina also came running to see if she had anything to say. Wow. She’s just running, but the horse feels slow.
“Victoria. To keep the damage to a minimum, we need to defeat the ghouls outside with a small elite.”
“I know that much. So, I plan to sortie out directly with my escort!”
“All right. Then I will go first!”
“I have to keep my share!”
‘There’s no need for that. It’s Lina! Wipe it all alone!’
As I was riding along with the escorts, the gates began to open by themselves, as if the soldiers saw it from a distance.
“Are you scared?”
Before Victoria scrambled out of the castle, she asked me that. The man has Gao.
She couldn’t ask me to come down here saying it was scary.
“It can’t be. Charge. Let’s sweep it all away!”
‘I have Natasha! If I’m in danger, Lina will come running too!’
“Whoops. That’s the man I’ve been eyeing! Hey! Forward at full speed!”
The knights roar loudly and exit the gate. The soldiers on the wall also shouted.
Looking straight ahead, I saw hundreds of rotting ghouls coming this way.
Lina didn’t know when she arrived, she was fighting the ghouls alone first.
It was then. Loud noises begin to be heard from inside the castle.
It is not unusual to see black smoke rising into the sky.
‘Was it also a diversion operation? Targeting the villagers while we’re away…No. It might have been Victoria who was aiming for it. He probably didn’t know that the aristocratic Victoria would come out on the battlefield.’
Rina gnashed her teeth as she watched the rising black smoke. Why do these people take human life so lightly?
Memories of her terrible war from her previous life fill Lina’s mind. She must be saved
If Nasen or Furuku sneaked into the castle, the damage would be out of control.
We must save everyone. Her sense of duty weighed down her Lina.
“Natasha-sama! Kerry-sama please!”
“Leave it to me!”
Lina started running with all her might towards her castle. Running so fast
At first, I thought it was the right decision. It was because it was certain that Lina, who was faster than she could speak, would support her first.
This is enough for us alone. Obviously, I just knew that. The strange thing happened after Lina was so far away that she couldn’t see him.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the ghouls began to rise from the ground one by one.
Furuku was also seen rising from the ground.
“Buhiik! I’m scolded for hiding in the ground!”
‘Where did you go? Hid in the ground These guys seem to have made up their minds this time.’
Unbeknownst to Kerry, this was the last chance for Nasen and Furuku to risk their lives. It was a matter of life and death, so a meticulous operation was natural.
“You look delicious! Let me just take one bite! Buhiik!”
Furuku starts reaching out to the nearest knight. The horse was started by the bloody spirit and made a fuss. Thanks to that, the knight fell to the ground without moving.
“That worm dare take my men!”
Victoria got on her horse excitedly and started charging at Fukuru. I’ll drop you off and run!
“This guy!”
“Don’t bother eating!”
She was when Victoria rushed at Furuku. Furuku’s hungry eyes lit up.
Furuku’s iron bat explodes. Hit by iron bats, Victoria and Kerry fell off their horses and rolled on the ground.
Her heart to save Victoria’s men was to blame for her advances. Had she blocked properly, her tanker, Victoria, would not have been seriously injured.
“Cool!”
Victoria was fortunately alive. I also fell on the floor, but I was not seriously injured.
“Whoa. The problem starts now…”
The ghouls that sprung up with Furuku began to surround us.
But I had a corner to believe in.
“West!”
Natasha was running toward me killing all the ghouls. When Natasha comes, you all search.
The sight of the ghouls swaying and approaching was terrifying.
“Red-haired bitch! Revenge from last time!”
Furuku, who ate the knight with his armor on before he knew it, attacked Natasha. Shit. There is no one to protect me like this.
“Back off. Cool! I’ll stop you here.”
Victoria staggered to her feet. What are you doing when you’re coughing up red blood from her mouth?
“Take care of yourself. Being bitten is annoying.”
‘I can’t turn Rina’s co-workers into ghouls.’
Here, I have to endure somehow with my own strength. That is, until Natasha came.
‘Should I use the wind blade? No. You can only use the wind blade once… You have to be careful.’
He had no intention of saving the wind blade if his life was in danger, but he had no choice but to be careful as he could only use it once.
Just then, he saw two of Victoria’s escort knights breaking through the ghoul encirclement and running.
“Miss!”
“I’m here to save you!”
Indeed, they were knights. Knights with outstanding skills were charging through the ghoul encirclement on horseback.
The two knights broke through the encirclement and put Victoria and I on the backs of horses.
“I’ll return to the castle right away, lady!”
“Mi-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come here. Cool!”
“Don’t say anything now.”
“Misters! Now is not the time to film a drama! Ghouls are coming.”
“Drama? What does drama mean? No, first… Let’s escape! Hey!”
Now the horse started running. The ghouls blocking the front were all cut down by the knights.
Kerry called Natasha out loud. Natasha was confronting Furuku.
“Natasha!”
“I’m fine. West! Go to the castle first. I’ll get rid of these guys and go back soon.”
After all, Natasha was strong.
“Oh, really! You can’t have an affair with that woman because I’m not there!”
It would have looked really cool if you hadn’t said that last thing.
It was when the knights broke through all the ghouls’ siege. Furuku’s high voice resounded.
“Buhiik! Don’t miss them! Chase them! Ghouls!”
However, there was no way that a ghoul could keep up with the speed of a galloping horse.
Just as Kerry was about to blow the middle finger at stupid Furuku.
The ghouls suddenly pounced on each other and began to coalesce. The appearance of the fusion ghoul was that of a huge four-legged beast.
It’s a horrifying sight with corpses glued together.
Oh oh oh-
The fusion ghoul screamed loudly. Then he began to thump and run.
It was fairly quick. To the extent that they catch up little by little with the horse who opened the distance first.
“We’ll catch up on the plains. To the forest! Run to the forest!”
In the woods, that size will get in the way of running.
“He keeps chasing me!”
“Don’t look back and run!”
I kept getting further away from the castle, but I couldn’t help it. The road to the castle is flat. If you escaped to the castle, you might have been caught and trampled on by it.
At least, the trees and rocks in the forest slowed down the combined ghouls, so they were able to escape so far.
How long did it run
It feels like it has been running for over an hour. The horses were also exhausted and breathing heavily.
“Get me… Put me down. I’ll take my time In the meantime, everyone runs away.”
Victoria was talking nonsense with her battered body.
“What are you going to do with that body?”
“Are you looking at me funny? I am Victoria Belarus! She is the eldest daughter of a Belarusian family. Such a monster… Cool.”
The forest ended while I was having a useless conversation with Victoria. The hulking fusion ghoul was still chasing us, knocking down trees.
“Wah- Whoa!”
“Is this far… “
Knights suddenly stop talking. Looking around, I could see why.
The place where I thought the forest ended was a cliff. There was nowhere else to run.
“Chew. Fucked.”
No. Kerry still had a trump card. A fusion ghoul knocks down a tree and approaches.
He grunted and cried when he saw our situation. It was as if she was trying hard to laugh at her with no voice.
“Shit. I can’t give up here. You must protect the lady.”
“Anyway, even if it’s just a young lady…”
‘I am Shiva…’
Okay. They are Victoria’s loyalists, not mine. I understand. A river flowed under the cliff. The cliff is so high that you might die if you fall.
Goo oh-!
It was when the combined ghoul roared and charged as if it were about to end us.
Kerry held her magic orb forward.
Now was the time for her to show the results of the magic she had been practicing.
A wonderful stage that is not enough to show a man’s romance!
Kerry murmured softly, holding out her marbles.
“Wind Blade.”
The wind rises around Kerry. The clothes seemed to be fluttering in the wind, and then they started to make a ripping sound.
At the same time, the blades of wind rushed at the combined ghouls with shapes.
The combined ghoul began to shatter as soon as it was hit by the blade of the wind.
Black blood and flesh fell to the ground as the disgusting corpse trickled down.
Thud-
The combined ghoul was knocked down by a single wind blade. It wasn’t completely destroyed, but it couldn’t keep its shape.
“Fuck. What’s wrong?”
I did, but the wind blades shattered the fusion ghouls like a high-pressure cutter was really cool. After all, magic is the best!
“You… Were you a wizard?”
“I thought he was definitely a prosecutor after seeing him fighting the guard captain.”
The knights murmured in surprise. Victoria was also looking at me with surprised eyes. It’s a little embarrassing.
It was then.
“That… That… Monster!”
“The ghouls are reattaching!”
The fusion ghoul reattached itself and glared at us.
