Chapter 101 – 101. The Man Who Finally Met the Main Character.

It wasn’t long after Ash started climbing the snowy mountain to find the solar plant.
We were resting peacefully.

I wonder if it can be called a break, though.

“Ugh, ugh… !”
“Come up. I only did 100 of them.”

Sweat dripped from his forehead.
The forearm, which had exhausted its strength, trembled.
This feeling that I can’t really go up.

“It’s because I was born as a man and so insignificant…”

Loa looked down at me and clicked her tongue.
100 push-ups is by no means a small number, but it was unfair.

I am proud of myself
The mindset that this is enough.

“Whoa, whoa. So far… !”

Push the floor
Push up my body
I forcibly stretched out my trembling arms and filled one last cup.

He did a total of 101 reps and raised his body.

My whole body was wet with sweat.
It was refreshing rather than disgusting.
It was good to feel that I tore my muscles to shreds.

I just climbed the snowy mountain Lahala today.
You never know when Ash will come down.
There’s nothing to do while waiting for the day we meet again.

I exercised with the thought of improving my stamina.
Originally, I did basic strength training in my spare time, but starting today, I feel full-fledged.

‘If you eat sungrass, you will get an erection. Then, of course, I have to deal with Ash, right?’

I will become a man who will not lose to anyone in bed.
Set such a goal.

“Now pick up the wooden sword.”

Loa threw a wooden sword with a blunt blade at me.
I accepted it and took a stance awkwardly.

I’m very tired, but swordsmanship?
It’s nonsense.
However, since it was the words of Alfheim’s El Knight, Loa, I quietly followed them.

I wasn’t presumptuous enough to be scared to death by what the person telling me was saying.

He raised his wooden sword and slashed it vigorously.
The trajectory changes depending on how much force you put in and how you bend your wrist.
In that fleeting moment when you face your opponent with a sword, someone dies and someone survives.

Swordsmanship is the crystallization of skill.
The end of technology built to survive.

Booung-! Booung-!

He swung his wooden sword in front of Roa.

Drop from top to bottom.
Left to right, right to left.
Stab toward a point.

The three movements were repeated.
Maybe it’s because he’s doing push-ups, so his muscles are tingling.

“The sword shakes. Concentrate properly!”

I was working hard while sweating profusely, when Roa screamed.
The body is very heavy.
I want to stop now.

‘I feel like he’s taking his anger out on me for no reason.’

I lowered my sword and sighed.
I gave my beating heart a break.
He took a deep breath and blew fresh air deep into his lungs.

Then, Loa widened her eyes.
Are you trying to scold me?
Glancing at Roa with a nervous face.

“I can feel Magi.”

Loa looked up at the sky with her bloody face.
This is the backyard of the inn where we stayed. Even looking up, all I can see is the blue sky…

A purple curtain opens.
The ominous energy has a tangible form.
A dome-shaped barrier was created.

Is a black magician
A warlock appeared in Undohala.

“Princess!”

Loa hurriedly entered the inn.
I also followed him.
Roa went up to the second floor at once.

Bang bang-!
“Princess! Are you all right!?”

The loa pounded on Islan’s door.
Even in the middle of a rough call, he didn’t open the door first without permission.

─ Why, why, why ?! What’s wrong!?

Islan moves from inside the room.
I felt popular.
As if he was doing something, he heard a knocking sound.

‘I’m taking care of my fucking daughter, but it’s like a mother came.’

Islan opened the door.
She was uncharacteristically messy about her dress and appearance.

“I am a black magician. The warlock has opened a barrier, so we have to get out of town right away.”
“… !”

Warlock, he could describe the whole situation with one word.
Islan came out of the room with a more serious look in his eyes.

“We have to save the citizens of Undohala.”
“… All right.”

At Islan’s words, Loa made a disgruntled expression.
The only person important to the loa was the high elf Princess Islan.

Koo Goo Goong -.

I got out of the inn with Islan.
I also took the innkeeper who was absent-mindedly guarding his seat at the counter.

“Oh, ome. What is this?”

Looking at the purple sky, the innkeeper murmured.
It’s not exactly the sky, but the ceiling.

“───!”

The black magicians are gathering power.
While memorizing an unknown spell, he attacked the citizens.
A bizarre sound resounded inside the tent, and black energy surged.

Quaang-! Bang-!

The black energy took on the shape of a demon’s grip and suppressed people.
The people who were running away were crushed like pieces of meat.

“Ahhh!”
“Where is the warrior?! The warrior must be… !”

Soldiers ran all over the place.
After each armed, they headed in the opposite direction from the citizens.
Like salmon running against the water.

I tried my best to catch the black magician somehow.
However, their arrows did not reach the warlock.

Warlocks flying under the veil.
It wasn’t one or two.
It feels like the whole group has decided to come.

‘… Did Hell-Chain come here on purpose?’

Why the hell
Why did Hell-Chain come to a remote place like Undohala to make this mess?

The flow of the original work has long since been twisted.
I never expected it to go the way I knew it.
But even if you do this, it’s too much.

In the absence of Ash, this…

“Follow me!”

Loa pushed me and dragged me along.
In an urgent situation by the warlock, Loa was taking care of two people, including me.

Islan, who knows how to deal with spirits, is in a better situation.
You’ll be much safer than me, the incompetent.

Pop, pop-.

Water falls under the purple curtain.
The water fell little by little, like a sudden shower.

Open your palm and take the water.
But the color is weird
Very red…
It wasn’t just water, it was blood.

A scream broke out almost simultaneously.
People seemed to realize that this was blood.

“Kyaaaaa”
“Blood, blood!”

The whole city went into panic.
Under the huge curtain, people were at a loss.

Shoot arrows and wield spears.
The warlock took care of several soldiers at once.

Hell-Chain cannot be stopped by poorly trained Undohala guards.
They couldn’t do anything against the warlock.

─ Find the black-haired man and bring him back!

At that moment, a voice echoed inside the tent.
It was close to an unpleasant noise.
The gloomy tone unique to a warlock seemed to stir his brain.

─ If you want to live, take the black-haired man to the central square of the city…

Black-haired man.
Islan glances at me.

Black hair is a rare color in this worldview.
Although they are not despised as demons, they are often looked upon as if they were monkeys.
Just looking at it, it seemed like the words were aimed at me.

Just think of what you did to Grape.

‘… Grape!’

Now I get it
The reason Hell-Chain suddenly appeared.
Grape was the problem.

A guy who always interferes with the hero, Luke.
Grape, a warlock used as a demon summoning device.
It would make sense if someone who was not dead but still alive planned this.
It wasn’t strange at all.

“Greg! They say they will save the people of the city if you drag them along!”

Something like a hunt was already going on.
Black-haired people besides me were being dragged along by the citizens.
It is a sacrifice.
An offering to black magicians.

I gave up morality in order to live.
The mindset that it can only be me, extreme selfishness.

“… You better hide.”

The loa seemed unwilling to sacrifice me.
I felt the will to fulfill the order given by the hero Ashe to the end.
It was very firm.

Of course, that was Roa’s idea, and the citizens’ position was different.

“There! There’s a black-haired guy over there too!”

Someone spotted me and shouted.
As soon as she pointed her finger this way, her citizens began coming one by one.

“Even, don’t run away.”
“We don’t want to do this either. But…”

Among the people who huddled together and did not know what to do, there were children.
Children burying their faces in their mother’s arms and covering their eyes.
Children who think they can escape then, that they are safe.

‘… Ash.’

No method.
It’s scary, but I can’t escape.

Should I just do what the black magicians tell me to do?
Are you going to let people go because of that?
The trouble didn’t last long.

Before more people die, I have no choice but to make the best choice.
I decided to move towards the limbs on my own.

“Absolutely not.”

Loa objected, but it was a pointless objection.
She had no say in her.

“Uh, if I hold on somehow, won’t the hero come?”

She suggested that Islan resist with all their might.
However, the citizens of Undohalla were people who lived peacefully in a location far from the central continent.
Are you asking such people to fight?
That was impossible

“… I’ll have to go see the warlocks first.”

Blood started pouring like a downpour.
Doesn’t seem like a normal situation…

Then, someone came this way.

A man holding a holy sword in the form of a long sword different from Ash’s.
It’s definitely a face I’ve never seen before, but a familiar man started talking to me.

“Wait.”
“…”

Uh um…

“… Luke?”
“Do you know me?”

Why is Luke, the hero, still in Undohala?
His head was throbbing.
