Chapter 58 – Quest
Ruril was poisoned.
However, there was one problem.
This poison was not an ordinary poison, but a poison that originally existed in the hiding place where the boss lived, so it was much stronger than the poison the hero was hit with at first.
Even the hero couldn’t control his sexual desire and kept standing upright, but with a stronger poison than him and a weaker Ruril, it was obvious what would happen.
You will rush at anyone and satisfy your desires.
“Kuh..”
Even if things go wrong, they will go wrong.
According to the original plan, I was going to first check the location of the monster and the demon army, then deal with the monster, and then deal with the demon army without giving me time to think, but I made a mistake for a moment and put Ruril in danger.
I trusted Ruril’s skill and entrusted it, but the story is different when it comes to boss monsters. Most of the monsters that have lived a long time have their own skills, but the monster I met this time was exactly that monster.
That’s why even though I used my stealth magic, I had no choice but to be caught by the monsters.
“Hero.. What should I do..?”
Cecilia asked with an anxious expression.
Then the warrior replied with an angry expression.
“You have to enforce it. Yesterday was fine, but if I don’t do it today, I might not catch it anymore.”
The power of the Holy Sword has already been released to the end.
No matter how much it was, there was no way the Demon Lord Army would not have noticed that the Hero had released the power of the holy sword.
I’m going to open this place as soon as possible, so I have to chase after him, defeat all the demon army, and save people.
It is not the only place to demonize, but since this place is so large that it can be said to be a base, the effect is very great.
In terms of the game setting, the technology has not been delivered yet, so I really know that it must be now.
“You must go quickly! I will run away!”
It didn’t take long to empty the base.
Of course, since it is a base for important research, there will be a magic circle that moves to the castle.
If we just run away after organizing the research data, our defeat would be perfect.
We need to go ahead and turn it upside down before we report our findings.
In fact, even in the game, the time limit was applied if the hero was discovered, and the time limit disappeared if the magic circle was destroyed before the time limit.
So it seemed like he was going to do it.
The warrior looked in my direction.
“Rumia. Can I use teleport magic?”
Teleport..?
Of course, the teleport magic itself could be used, but there was one problem.
Even if my magic power is insufficient, it means that it is still lacking.
Basically, even if I move alone, it takes a lot of magic, but there are several people, and the distance I move is not even several meters or tens of meters.
I shook my head as if it was impossible.
“Ah..! Magic attribute..!”
Before returning, it seems that I was able to use teleport just now.
Even if that’s the case, I’m just asking for something like that..
Certainly, the distance to that place is quite far, but that doesn’t mean Hero can’t leave us all here and go alone.
If we are going to do it, let’s do it together, I said before coming here, and I couldn’t help but follow it.
While thinking about what to do, the warrior suddenly took out the holy sword from the scabbard.
“Warrior?”
Instead of answering Cecilia’s question, the hero emitted light from his holy sword.
“..?”
Why the power of the Holy Sword all of a sudden…
Uh?
What?
Suddenly, my whole body started to vibrate.
Originally, I wouldn’t have been able to lift Ruril, but now, this sense of omnipotence that seems to be able to lift Ruril with only strength…
“This..!”
Cecilia opened her eyes wide.
Ah, I guess I know now.
This was one of the hero’s liberation skills, the hero’s blessing.
It’s temporary, but it’s a skill that doubles the status of party members.. Since it simply doubles all strength, my magic power has also doubled.
A simple but powerful skill.
It’s not a warrior’s skill for nothing.
Cecilia also seemed curious about her own blessing.
“How about it, is this possible? The location is the one I designated earlier, please!”
“..!”
Yes, this is possible
I couldn’t use it because I didn’t have enough mana, but with this amount of mana, it would be possible to teleport once.
Have you thought about it this far?
If you remember the location, using the teleport was not a chore.
My magic isn’t magic that’s done through calculations.
When he used the teleport with the increased mana from the warrior’s blessing, the increased mana was pulverized and his vision was distorted.
The place that appeared before long was in front of the Demon King’s base, the place where I stopped by briefly to check the location.
As soon as he finished using his magic, his entire body lost strength and sat down in place.
Cecilia, who was next to me who was weak, accepted me with a puzzled expression.
The hero also tried to approach me as if he was greatly embarrassed, but she stopped moving because Cecilia accepted it first.
“Oops… I’m sorry. You asked too much…”
What can’t be done…
I shook my head as if to tell her not to worry.
The warrior who looked down at me with a complicated expression exhaled and opened his mouth.
“Guys, can I give you buffs and blessings?”
Raising the holy sword, I asked for blessings and buffs for me and Cecilia.
No way..
Are you thinking of doing it alone?
“…”
Yes, in this situation, that was the correct answer.
Due to the use of teleport, it was difficult to use other attack magic, and due to the sense of exhaustion of magical power, the whole body was weak and it was difficult to move. Someone needs to protect you…
It’s okay.. Is it?
If you recall the level of inaction he showed when catching that monster earlier, it was hard to see that he would be defeated easily, but since this place is the base of the Demon King’s army, you don’t know what will happen.
So, I couldn’t help but worry about him.
Still, the warrior’s words were right.
If you send it like this, the meaning of the hero who exists to save people will fade, and it will become more annoying and dangerous in the future.
If so..
“God… Give me the courage to defeat the enemy…”
Cecilia prayed and blessed God, and I also squeezed out all my remaining magic power and applied all the buffs I could apply.
When his mana was completely drained, he collapsed without even having the strength to sit up.
“Are you okay?”
Cecilia, who picked me up before I collapsed, asked me.
“Oh right, I can’t hear…”
I can actually hear it…
I smiled bitterly.
My mana is so low that I can’t even use telepathy anymore…
Still, she could make out what she was saying by the shape of her mouth, so she waited a moment before nodding her head.
Thinking I understood, Cecilia smiled a little, then lowered herself to sit in her grass, and she put her and Ruril’s heads up on her legs.
It was her lap pillow.
She didn’t know that she would receive this from Cecilia.
It felt a bit strange.
“Go, warrior.”
“…”
“Because we will be waiting here.”
At Cecilia’s words, the hero put on a hesitant expression.
Maybe we were worried, but as far as I know there was nothing to worry about. Cecilia is infinitely weak when dealing with ordinary people or monsters without magic, but the story is different when the opponent is a monster with magic or a demon.
For them, being infinitely strong is Cecilia’s strength.
That’s a saint
There was nothing to worry about as there was even a blessing given by the warrior himself.
The hero reluctantly nodded and left his seat to subdue the remaining demon kings.
The subjugation took place in an instant.
Since it was a hidden place in the first place, it wasn’t that strong enemies were guarding it, so it was natural.
I made a complicated expression as I looked down at the demons who were being subdued by the hero before they had time to escape on the magic circle.
Although they are said to be demons, I felt a bit repulsed, perhaps because they looked like humans from the outside.
How to say.. Like a massacre.. That feeling..
Somehow, I felt a sense of rejection for a while, but when I saw people lying naked and tortured or still being tortured, that thought disappeared.
Yes, no matter how human-like they look, in the end they are demons.
It is absurd to even think like this.
I thought so.
I had to think so.
