Chapter 237 – Back to the Battlefield (2)

Here, if we were to pick someone who doesn’t have a lot of range skills, the first place would be Lien.

Lien can attack nearby enemies with a shock wave struck with his fist or leg, but it should not be considered a long-distance attack. So, I have no choice but to be chosen as one of the group that will go with me.

In addition, the newly summoned Elsha is a class with a smaller range than Lien, so it is not very efficient to deal with multiple armies.

She thought about leaving Rachel, who was an Elemental Master with as much range as Renia, but she thought it would be better for Renia to stay and solve the problem faster.

“Freya needs to give buffs to the people remaining here, so let’s stay and defeat the army and then join the people who went north. Rhenia and Freya will quickly deal with the army and then join.”

Freya is still expressionless, but Renia is passionately expressing her feelings of regret with her face.

But what can you do? Shouldn’t the military be stopped? I feel sorry for Renia, though.

“And… I think it would be good if we leave just one more person behind…”

There is also Freya, who can give buffs, and Renia, who can attack in a wide range, so it would be good to have someone who can attack and defend against enemies while also having range.

“Ellie, will you stay here and stop the army one last time?”

“… I can’t help it. I understand, Jinu.”

Ellie also sighed as if she was disappointed when she heard what I said, but she decided to stay.

She thought about taking Ellie with her to act as a tank, but she decided that the people heading north would not engage in direct combat with Chaos Alcatraz anyway.

All I have to do is avoid battle as much as possible, take as much time as possible, and then call the remaining people to Britinya Kingdom.

She thought about leaving Noah, who has a variety of melee and long-distance attacks, in place of Ellie, but she decided that Ellie would be better suited to leave a small number of people here, since her defense ability is lacking compared to Ellie.

“But how can we convey that the remaining people here have defeated the entire army? Jinu-sama can talk to us from afar, but we can’t?”

Yuria pointed out an important part. It’s me 〈 Whisper 〉 I can use the system to convey my words through general traffic no matter where my character is, but the remaining people here cannot convey them to the people in the north.

However, if I stay here, I can’t go north and it’s impossible to move quickly to 〈 Return 〉.

But isn’t there another being for us?

“Gaia.”

“Yes yes?”

I called out to Gaia, a sphere shaped person who listened quietly.

“Even if it’s impossible to lend us your power right now, you can at least use telepathy to me, right?”

I’m not saying you can’t do this either. In the past, at Gaia’s request, Gaia was able to talk to me when I was dealing with demons pouring out of a dimensional gap in the city of Perne.

But I’m not going to say no now. Wouldn’t this be helpful to some extent?

“Well, I think that’s possible.”

“Good! Then, Gaia, you will stay here and report to me as soon as Rhenia, Eli, and Freya have defeated all of their armies. Then, I will immediately take the remaining three and move north.”

I wondered what would happen if even this wasn’t possible, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.

“Then it is decided. Jinu, you need to take care of yourself. I don’t want to imagine you getting hurt.”

Ellie said goodbye to me first, as there was no need to spend time here since it was decided who would stay. But that doesn’t mean we’re breaking up forever.

“Ellie, why are you talking like that? There’s no way Ji-nu would get hurt. How many people are going with you… But if Jin-unni gets hurt… How could that possibly happen? Right, everyone?”

Lenia speaks with a bright smile, but it sounds like she carries a scary threat inside.

Noah and Lien, who had been with Lenia for a long time, didn’t seem to care much, but Rachel, who had spent relatively little time with Lenia, hid behind Yuria, who was nearby, probably because she was scared by Lenia’s words.

“God… I’ve been separated for a while, but I’ll go see you right away. Please rest in peace…”

Freya bowed her head, still praying to me.

“Then, I will take good care of the Chaos Alcatraz army. I think with your strength, there will be no problem in resolving this problem.”

Even before, the combination of these three would have been able to handle most armies without any problems, but now they are much stronger than they were then.

I’m not that worried, but I still hope no one gets hurt.

“Are you leaving now?”

When it was decided who would stay, Gaia asked me. After hearing her say that, I nodded her head.

“We can’t keep delaying time. We have to get there before Chaos Alcatraz gets to the north.”

This is no different from a time attack, fighting to see who will reach the north first. If Chaos Alcatraz arrives at Numeron, the dimensional gate in the north, and unseals it, it won’t be that difficult.

In a situation where we don’t have enough hands and feet to deal with the army created by Chaos Alcatraz, dealing with the demons flocking through the dimensional gate Numeron only makes it more difficult for us.

Will Chaos Alcatraz stay there? That can’t be possible.

So we have to move as quickly as possible.

“Okay, let’s move right now. Take the necessary supplies.”

Gaia said that it would take her several days to travel to the north on Minercia, so she decided to take only enough food and move quickly.

Without even having time to say hello to King Brittinya, we told him to deliver it to Aria, and we left Brighton Castle to leave for the north.

She said she didn’t even need to see me off, so it’s just me and my character here.

To move north, Yuria got on Minercia’s back first, followed by me, Rachel, Noah, Lien, and Elsha.

As we all climbed in, Minercia flapped her wings and took off in the air.

Eli and Rhenia, who had decided to stay here after seeing us, waved at us, and Freya was kneeling there and praying.

I also waved to the three people below, and Minercia began flying quickly toward the north.

“Is everyone going to be okay? I know it will be okay, but I’m secretly worried.”

“Don’t worry, master. Considering the number of people remaining, I think worrying about that is a waste of thought and unnecessary.”

As I mumbled while moving, Lien came up to me and offered words of comfort. She feels a little relieved to have someone tell her it’s okay.

“By the way, did the master go to the original world and play that game to make us stronger? I heard he was surprised that we became much stronger than before?”

“Just looking at this, I think Jinu-sama is amazing! I thought she was strong before, but now she’s much stronger than before, right? I wonder if this is Jinu-sama’s power.”

Noah and Yuria said to me as they looked at their bodies, which had become stronger as they reached level 110.

Everyone except Ellie will be roughly aware of the fact that after returning to their own world, I became stronger by changing all the characters and equipment connected to everyone in the Elion game to level 110.

“I tried very hard to become stronger in a short period of time. I did it by sleeping less at night, but I think I got to a level where I was satisfied with the results.”

I stayed up all night playing games like a crazy person. To the point where I didn’t even have a proper conversation with my parents whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Even now that I think about it, the fact that I did such an unfilial thing pricks my heart.

“Hmm? Now that I think about it, what about Elsha? I remember her riding with me?”

As I looked at everyone talking to me, I realized that I couldn’t see Elsha.

What? I clearly remember that we all got on board together? No matter how much I look, I can’t see it.

“I… I’m here…”

It’s a strange phenomenon. Elsha is clearly not visible, but her small voice can be heard.

“Lord, Elsha is over there.”

As I turned her head here and there to look for Elsha’s appearance, Lien pointed with her finger in the direction where Elsha was, and I turned her head in that direction.

The direction Lien pointed to was the direction where Rachel was sitting, but Elsha was nowhere to be seen.

If Elsha, who is taller than Rachel, is hiding behind Rachel, she won’t completely cover it, but she won’t be visible at all.

Then the fact that Elsha’s occupation was logged in crossed my mind.

“Elsha, are you by any chance in Rachel’s shadow?”

Among Rogue’s skills, there is a skill that sneaks into the opponent’s shadow and then pops out to strike from behind for the assassination concept.

At my words, half of Elsha’s head popped out from Rachel’s shadow.

Are you really that embarrassed to be with me? So much so that you have to hide in the shadows.

Since there is nothing on Minercia’s back to hide himself, it seems he has completely fallen into Rachel’s shadow.

Should I say that it is both embarrassing and refreshing to see a completely different side of myself from everyone who has always liked me?
