Chapter 98 – Chapter 10

“Kuk!”

The Dark Elf’s face distorted as he fired support shots from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor.

“An unexpectedly powerful enemy has appeared.”
“I know! Damn it! What is that kid!”

Sniping out of sight through her own senses and the aid of her apostle, she bit her lip at the sight of Kai Sent intercepting her own arrow.

‘Are you going to intercept my arrows? A kid like that?’

Her own bow is mithril, which has high magical conductivity, and she is endowed with various enchantments, and her bow is made from twisting her own hair.

It means a bow designed from the beginning to imbue arrows with magic or to fire arrows made of magic.

However, no matter how well you look at it, it is impossible for Kaicent, who has an ordinary high-quality bow, to return his own arrow.

‘No way.’

However, if there is one way she thinks, this situation can be explained.

‘Is he making arrows with stronger magical power than me to offset them?’

Fast!

That alone is unacceptable.
No, there shouldn’t be

– Release. Follow me as always.-
– Release! Enemy archers!-
-The only person I can trust is you, Lilith.-

‘Under any circumstances, you can’t lose as much as a long-distance battle! Even for the Master who believes in me!’

Master gave his back without hesitation even though he knew of his birth.

While others distrusted him because of his birth, only he saw himself as a warrior named Lilith.

That’s why he must be able to keep his back no matter what.

‘I can never lose this much!!’

“Marbles! Give me more!”

Lilith shouted to give her the orb she had been reluctant to eat in order to pour out her mana.

“No, not even that much…”
“Give me out!”
“…Okay. But this is the last we have.”

Since the apostle had already completed his plan, he casually handed over the last of his spare money just in case.

‘The stronger the resistance from this side, the harder it will be for them to think that we have other plans.’

I’ve used up all the resources I’ve collected so far.
All that remains is to prepare for the future while resisting as much as possible.

‘Thank you very much, stranger from another world. If it wasn’t for you, this plan would have been impossible.’

The apostle smiled at Lilith, who replenished her mana by eating beads made with the technology of the ‘Foreign Gods Union’, which was made by extracting the essence of humans.

*                           *

“Kyaaaaak!”

Absorbing the body of the founding contributor who uses a spear, the cultist suddenly pierced his spear into the ground and flung himself, waving his hidden tail.

“Keugh!”
“Ugh!”

As the giant reptile’s tail swung, the knights who received an unexpected attack were pushed back.

Quadruped!

“Keuek!”

However, the magician, who took advantage of the opportunity, shot sharp icicles made of ice and implanted them in the cultist’s body.

As the cultist suffered and became sluggish, the knight who succeeded in taking an opportunity cut off the head of the cultist who played with the face of a founding contributor.

“Kyaaaaa!”
“Kuwouk!”

When the arrows of the archers on the 3rd floor were blocked and the situation became unfavorable, the cultists began to take out monsters that had absorbed other monsters besides the Founding Contributor.

Not only the tail, but also the grotesque arms protruding from the back, spraying poisonous smoke and starting a desperate fight.

Only the cultist who absorbed Durden showed no other abilities.
Perhaps Durden’s abilities were enough, or there might be other problems.

“Okay! Keep reducing the number!”

The night captain, who was in charge of Durden along with Lillian and Priscilla, gave instructions while finding some time to spare when the charter turned favorable.

“Quaaaaagh!”
Haha!”
“Yeah! Roll like that! Roll like a bug!”

The most active among them were the Paladins of the Evil God.

Specialized in harassing living things, whenever they attack, their flesh rots or their wounds open, gushing out blood.

Perseok!

As the cultist, who was suffering so much, lost blood and his flesh became sore, he couldn’t even avoid the attack that was flying at his head, and he stared blankly before bursting out.

It’s creepy that they have to suffer that tactic when they’re enemies, but they’re so reassuring as allies.

“Kyaaaaa!”
“Kureu!”
“The enemy is coming from behind!”
“Of course, at this timing!”

However, the soldiers who blocked the entrance to the cemetery must have been pierced, and monsters that seemed to have melted into one and appeared from the rear.

“Artie!”

At that time, Kaicent, who sent a signal to Artie, opened the dimensional warehouse towards the monsters coming from behind.

“Come out!”
“Gee–“
“Uh uh uh!”

What came out of the dimensional warehouse were the undead waiting near the entrance in preparation for this situation.

As the Abyss Knight rushed along with his horse, crushing the charging enemies to offset the breakthrough power, the Undead attacked behind them.

“I’m fine now! I’ll call you when it gets dangerous, so focus on the front!”

As the undead were sent out and the entrance blocked, the special forces, which had almost been pinned back and forth even with a small number, regained their flow.

“Even a kid like that is working hard, what are you guys doing! Are you here to play? Haha!”
“Gigkick. Anyway, they’re still just talkative guys.”
“Big!”

The most active here is Kaicent, followed by the Paladins of the Evil God.

Normally, the Holy Knights would have to yell at them not to talk bullshit, but this time, they couldn’t say anything back to what they were saying.

“God bless you!”
“Oohhh!”

If the Paladins of the Evil Gods specialize in destruction, the Paladins of the Good Gods specialize in protection and healing.

Therefore, the paladins who cast a protection spell on themselves rushed recklessly toward the cultists unlike usual.

Caang! Can-can! Blood?!

The cultist’s attack, which absorbed the power of various monsters and the technology of the founding contributor, destroyed their defenses at once and inflicted wounds.

However, the wounds quickly healed with the prayers of the Paladins, ignoring defense except for vital points and pushing the cultists at once.

Kwajik! Pooh!

“Kuuk!”
“Ha… God of unity…!”

The cultists began to fall one by one by the paladins tearing and slicing their bodies from all sides.

The mercenaries and knights also responded and quickly increased the cultists’ wounds.

“We have to pay for the meal too!”
“Let’s punish those who insulted the royal family with our own hands!”

Even if it was the knights, even the mercenaries, who put their own safety first, were swept away by the atmosphere, ignoring tolerable wounds and creating the wounds of cultists with persistent vitality.

‘Shit. The flow has completely changed.’

Noriyoshi tried to change his mood with his performance at the right time.

Until now, both enemies and allies were weak, so he deliberately lied to the same mercenary group, but he planned to raise his reputation at once by playing an active part in a battlefield where the world’s survival was at stake or where the world was at stake.

However, the civil war ended on the way to Harlot Kingdom, and he had to look for the next opportunity while catching the undead.

‘That bastard!’

He is the main character

‘This place was the best place for me to debut!’

To Noriyoshi, who was looking for a chance to make a brilliant debut as the main character, Kaisent is the one who stole the spotlight that should have been directed at him.

‘How dare you steal my place as the main character!’

-That bastard is looking at something like that again.-
-Madam! I made eye contact with ‘that’!-
-Hey. Who wants to make eye contact with my girlfriend?
-There are many other things in the light novels, so why are you only looking at otherworldly ones?-
-Noriyoshi, can’t you stop watching that and go outside and play with your friends?-

Seeing Kaicent at the center reminds her of her school days when she bullied herself by calling herself an obnoxious otaku who was obsessed with the waters of this world.

He had always thought that he was a special person, but that he was born at the wrong time and at the wrong time.

If Kenshin Uesugi, whom he respected and was called the Dragon of Echigo, was born in modern times, he would be nothing more than a powerful fighter.

‘I can be more special than now.’
‘It’s just that I don’t fit in with this era.’
‘If I was born in an era where I can play an active part… !’

And they were transferred to another world, and even how to become stronger was delivered as if to become the main character.

I’m not wrong.
I got the main character right.
It wasn’t that he was out of sync, it was that the era in which he lived was out of sync.

‘Should I kill him?’

Everyone is frantic to kill the cultist.
You don’t even have to kill yourself.
As long as you distract your concentration, the enemies shooting arrows on the 3rd floor will take care of it.

When Noriyoshi made up his mind to interfere with Kaisent, the power of the magic arrows pouring from the third floor increased.

Until now, magic arrows collided with each other to create a shock wave and disappear.

Flaw! Aww!

At some point, the power of the magic arrow doubled, and it pierced Kaicent’s magic arrow and plunged.

“Quit!”

Kaicent hurriedly made a shield out of gloves, but Arty moved quickly and avoided the arrow.

Fortunately, it seems that the other side can only break the orbit once.

“Are you okay?”
“Thanks, Artie! Hmmm!”

After expressing his gratitude to Artie, he immediately began to work harder… He shot blown arrows.

‘Suddenly, the power has become stronger! Do you still have enough mana!?’

Until now, even in battle, there was never a shortage of internal energy.

Even in Dead Moon, only half of his energy was consumed, and even that was easily recovered by resting for about a day.

However, as the arrow confrontation was prolonged, it was the first time that I felt the lack of inner strength.

“I can’t stand it any longer!!”

During the battle, Kaicent, who poured out more than a hundred magic arrows, screamed as if screaming at everyone.

“It’s over! Hang on a little longer!”

Lillian saw that Durden’s body had a lot of wounds as those who had killed the other cultists joined in, and he let him know that he just had to be patient.

‘Chit. I should have moved a little faster.’

Noriyoshi thought that someone would notice if he messed around in the current situation.

‘But it’s not too late.’

Because on the 3rd floor there is Excalibur waiting for its master.
If you pull out Excalibur, the royal family will try to placate you in some way.

In the worst case, he might try to assassinate him, but with the power of holding Excalibur, running away to a foreign country alone would not be a problem.

‘I can do my debut after that.’

And,

‘It seems that the little boy has reached his limit as well.’

For the first time, Kai Sent, who exposed her bottom with Mana, began to sweat as her white face became whiter and whiter.

“Huhhhhh!!”

Kaicent, who poured in his last strength, fell forward helplessly as if he was completely exhausted.

Fortunately, Artie accepted him as he was about to fall, dodging the arrows that were raining down on them.

“Kuaa!”

Recognizing that Kaicent was in danger, Lillian slashed Durden’s shoulder blade, which was gradually crumbling under multiple attacks, and fixed his stance.

Awesome!

As she stopped moving Durden, she parted her hair vertically, as Priscilla had been waiting for.

“Poohup! For the sake of the great…Union…”

The cultist who absorbed Durden’s body, the founding king of Harlot Kingdom, collapsed while shouting the prayer of the united believers for the last time even as his head split.

“Now, the last 3 floors remain! Except for the unidentified archer, there is nothing dangerous, so charge!”

Since the knight captain had dealt with the cultists who absorbed the bodies of the founding contributors and the first king, he judged that it was only necessary to deal with archers and a small number of escorts to protect the gods of foreign media, and ordered an assault without rest.

This is possible because everyone here has excellent skills and rich experience, so they can quickly recover their stamina through breathing while fighting.

‘If those two hadn’t stopped Durden, the situation would have been worse than it is now.’
‘It seems that the two of you have been together for a long time. If the two attack together…’
‘To think that there are people as talented as him, and that the same magician is an excellent archer.’

Others noticed that Lillian and Priscilla’s handling of Durden made it easy.

In addition, as they watched Kaicent’s power closely with these talented people, they could easily predict that the Wolf Mercenary Corps would grow even bigger in the future.

“Whoa… Ha… Everyone… Come in…”

Meanwhile, Kaicent, who was embraced by Artie, tried to put the undead back into the dimensional warehouse after dealing with the alien species that were attacking from behind.

“Wait! Little one… No, you stay here and take care of the rear. Those with severe wounds stay here to heal and protect the rear together.”

The Night Captain was impressed by Kai Sent’s performance, so he didn’t call her a little wizard and opened her mouth as if he were treating a skilled wizard.

Then, in the fight against the cultists, those who were severely injured were sorted out right away, and they went down to the third floor along with those who were fine or with minor injuries.

“Haaaaa~~~”

Kaicent, who ordered the rearguard to keep the undead out of the night captain’s order, was able to rest in peace only after the arrows didn’t fly.

“Kuh-kuh-kuh. Looking at it this way, he looks like an ordinary kid.”

One of the evil god’s paladins, who was badly wounded, giggled even in pain at the sight of Kaicent.

“Hey, little wizard. Do you want to join our church? If you join our church, you can strengthen the undead you are taming.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Kuhm. Don’t listen to them, sorcerer. You’re young and talented. If you serve evil spirits, you’ll be chased for the rest of your life.”
“Heh. Are you being chased? We? You can’t even figure out the subject.”
“Oh, I made a mistake. I’m not being chased, I’m hiding. Like a rat.”

The remaining good and evil paladins from their injuries began to quarrel while slowly healing their wounds.

‘No matter how young you look, if we attract a wizard with this level of ability to our church, it can become a powerful force.’
‘If a young boy with this much talent becomes the master of evil spirits… The unthinkable will happen.’

The paladins bickering with each other without even thinking about the person to give them rice cakes.

“Hey… I have no intention of joining any church…”

With his breathing in order, Kai Sent expressed that since his life was saved by Lillian (Wolf), he would stay with him until the debt was repaid.

“And I spent too much mana… I’m tired, so I’ll rest.”

Finally, I made an excuse that I had to accept because I didn’t want to talk to people I didn’t know, and I moved to a corner with Artie.

“Haa…Why is everyone paying attention to me… Artie, protect my surroundings.”
“All right.”

With a small grumble, he took his cross-legged position and began to recover his exhausted inner energy while lightly exercising.

‘I feel a strange energy different from before. I don’t know what will happen if I absorb this energy straight away. Let’s refine it thoroughly.’

Perhaps because of the distorted aura of the alienated realm, unlike usual, the speed at which internal energy was restored was very slow.

You never know when something will happen, so when you recover even a little more,

Kwaaaaa —-!!

“Wook!?”
“Oops!”
“Cool!”

Suddenly, tremendous energy began to rise from the third floor like an explosion.
Those on the second floor screamed as they felt the pressure of the energy.

“What, what, what!?”
“What kind of energy is this…!”

After barely regaining their senses, they started to panic because they didn’t know what was going on on the 3rd floor.

It was because I didn’t know whether to go to support or to watch the situation here.

One thing is clear, they were shaking their legs and trembling in fear, who had not been frightened even when they fought fiercely until just now.

‘Lillian! Priscilla!’

However, without even thinking about it, Kaicent ran towards the third floor.

“Hey! Little Wizard!”
“Stop!

The paladins tried to stop Kaicent, but he shook off their worries and went down the stairs.

‘Two people are in crisis! I have to save it!’

Perhaps it was thanks to the connection between the two and their spirits through the color ball, it was because I felt that they were sending anxiety like crazy.

He didn’t know what happened to the third floor, but with a sense of mission to save his women, he broke through the fearful aura that made even the paladins harden.
