Helmut
Episode 469
The rulers of the three regions who gathered their resolve in triumph soon swallowed Rosetta’s pill.
No matter how much they talk about it, the fact that they are in a miserable situation and dependent on drugs remains the same.
As long as they are monsters.
“It feels like a drug addiction. “You have to keep eating it.”
Ygrel frowned as he mentioned a word he didn’t know where he learned it from.
Baharek glanced at her.
For some reason, Ygrel’s pink hair seems to make his mouth water.
Helmut said coldly.
“Do this one thing for sure, Baharek. “I will not eat humans in the future.”
Luke Yeager flinched next to him.
“They don’t eat humans… Are you saying they’re monsters that eat humans?!”
Didn’t you say something like that to Elaga earlier than not eating humans?
For the Knight Commander of Palma, it was a monster to be subjugated. His hand rested on the handle of his sword.
It was the same in the Levant.
Even though the humans who first came to Pahe Forest immediately showed hostility towards him, Baharek was indifferent.
[Why not eat humans? There is no meat softer than that in the forest of Pahe.]
[I think I would be grateful if I could return the crazy guy to his original state. Anyway, you’re not going to eat it, right?]
[…Well, until this is over. And I will not eat the humans here.]
After everything is over, it is inevitable that I will eat the humans who invade my territory, just like before.
It was as if food had flown into my mouth. You can’t bear it without chewing it.
And even though we fight together, there may be casualties among this group.
Isn’t it okay to eat dead humans? Baharek thought like a monster.
Elaga warned.
[There is no backstabbing even after it is over. If you do that, I am the devil and I will cut off your fate.] I
was filled with distrust, as if I had not gathered my will as the ruler of the area.
Baharek nodded impatiently.
[I understand.]
[You are so untrustworthy, so stay away.]
Baharek showed a dissatisfied expression.
Area opened her mouth.
“Humans… If you count Ygrel as humans, there are nine. “It will take a long time to get to the central station on foot.”
“Did you send Kantra for no reason? “I wish I could use it more.”
Helmut said. There were a lot of people.
The turtle’s huge shell was perfect for carrying many people.
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that the golem burned it, but the situation was very different then.
The golem’s flight in the dark atmosphere consumed significantly more magical energy than before.
At that time, my goal was to escape the Forest of Pahe, so I could use a lot of magic stones, but now that I am dealing with a demon lord, I have to conserve my power.
And even if you were hit in the air, it was a problem.
At that time, there was no need to be attacked because there was Elaga below, but as you get closer to the central area, the monsters there will attack you regardless.
Because of the demon energy, it is not easy to even detect monsters as they approach, and it is difficult to encounter attacks that throw something like firing a cannon.
It didn’t make sense for the group to split up since they were already scattered.
I had to constantly keep the two monsters nearby and take care of them as they might be swept away by the Demon Lord Elaga and Baharek.
At least the high priest had to be close to them.
Helmut immediately looked back at Elaga.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if Elaga carried some of them on her back?”
Ygrel decided to maintain his human form for now and has no faith in riding on the back of the man-eating tiger Baharek.
Elaga is the most suitable opponent.
“If that happens, there will be a loss of power equal to the number of people on Elaga.”
Asuka warned with a stern expression. There was a look of genuine disgust on his face.
It was the same for Xian, Levina, and Levant. They had already experienced hell.
Elaga grumbled.
[I don’t want to burn it either. Those guys were full. [I came this far with ease.]
“It was fast. “Let’s just get on the golem.”
Asuka gestured towards the golem.
At that time, Area touched his chin with his index finger. A sparkle appeared in the purple eyes.
“I have a good idea.”
She transformed the golem as it was. Light erupted from the golem that had landed in its new form.
Eventually, what appeared on the spot was a carriage with four wheels.
The seating position is high and the top is open.
A carriage needs power to move. There were no horses here, but there was something that could replace them.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Elaga and Baharek. Area said, pulling out a long rope from subspace.
“This will make a very sturdy carriage. I can trust Baharek, and it’s nice that the group can all move together. “It is a satisfactory solution.”
Baharek and Elaga raised their voices at the same time.
[Who is satisfied?]
[Do you think we are livestock raised by humans? I was going to tie someone up and make them pull the carriage!]
It was humiliating to even think about it. Baharek’s opposition was especially strong.
[Demon Lord and all, have you ever seen a tiger pulling a carriage!]
[Do you know that a leopard can pull a carriage? I hate it too!]
“I can’t help it. But that doesn’t mean a bird can pull a carriage.”
Ygrel shrugged his shoulders sheepishly.
Even if she returned to the main body, she wouldn’t be able to pull the carriage. Wouldn’t it be better to fly with humans on board?
Both Igrel and Elaga have already burned humans before.
But pulling a carriage was a different matter. Should we call it full-scale domestication?
Aren’t they even ordinary monsters? They’re monsters who are the rulers of a small area!
“You can’t defeat the devil by doing only what you want. “There are things you have to do even if you don’t like them.”
Helmut spoke firmly, as if telling him not to complain.
At that time, Elaga’s eyes lit up.
[Now, isn’t one horse enough to pull a carriage?]
It’s a carriage that can only be ridden by about ten people. There is no need for Baharek and I to pull the carriage side by side.
If you do that, you will only get in each other’s way. Even one horse can achieve sufficient speed.
Then Baharek flinched.
[You’re the one who’s friendly with humans, Elaga!]
[That’s right. But I am stronger than you.]
In the forest of Pahe, the strong was the law. But Baharek did not give in.
[It’s not a question of being strong, but a question of who is the right person! I’ve never even ridden humans on my back! You can’t pull something like a carriage.]
Anyway, I can’t. No experience or talent. Bacharek argued so.
[You know the word ‘right person,’ and you’re not as stupid as I thought.]
Elaga looked genuinely surprised.
[Who do you think is ignorant? This white cat!]
[Yes, this cat that eats grass. You owe me a favor. Even though he attacked me the first time, he saved my life twice.]
Elaga’s eyes sparkled.
[Second time, I brought you back to your senses. If you had left it as is, wouldn’t the devil have stayed crazy no matter what happened?]
It is difficult to get better from mental illness. Elaga made it easy for me to do that hard work. Baharek’s momentum subsided.
[That’s true, but…]
[Are you human? Save your face. Let’s just go to the central area.]
Elaga handed it over to Baharek and approached Helmut.
[Ugh….]
I couldn’t bring myself to answer that I would.
Baharek was already regretting his decision to fight the Demon King.
I thought it would stick together nicely, but who would have thought that it would end up being like a load of luggage carrying only humans.
Ygrel offered a somewhat realistic consolation.
“Baharek, you understand. Elaga is so violent that she will run without thinking and destroy the carriage and eat it all.”
“So has it come to a conclusion?”
Helmut nodded and looked towards Area. Area took the rope and installed the saddle on Baharek’s body.
Since it wasn’t a real horse, I wasn’t going to install anything like a halter or bridle.
If that were the case, Baharek’s enemy would be her, not the Demon Lord.
With bloodshot eyes, Baharek reluctantly accepted the carriage being attached to his body.
I could see extreme patience in his expression.
The installation was completed quickly and everyone got on the carriage one by one.
Luke Yeager, the most human of the dogs, raised his hand as he got into the carriage.
“I will take care of you.”
[Shut up and get on top!]
The only problem was that it didn’t work for Baharek, who was very angry.
The fully joined party departed for the central area.
They are near the border between the western and northern regions.
Judging by the speed at which the wheels roll, it won’t take several days.
The sacred barrier is still collapsing little by little.
They hurried along without letting their guard down. Not knowing what would await them in the central region.
* * *
The wall was erected and it was not the end.
Immediately after Helmut and his party entered the sacred barrier, as if they had been waiting for it, a series of shocking incidents occurred outside.
In a village that was completely reduced to ashes, a warlock stood with his back to the hill of corpses and shouted.
“It is the power of darkness that will save us!”
Until recently, he was an ordinary wizard officially registered with the Wizards Association.
However, he was also secretly watched because his experimental tendencies were considered dangerous.
The Wizards Association sent a punitive force as soon as he used black magic.
The problem is that such people are not alone. As soon as you subdue one, another appears.
“This is real magic. “We can overcome our limits through the power of darkness!”
“How can there be any limitations to magic? “The Wizards’ Association is oppressing us like a temple!”
Among those identified as dangerous by the Wizards’ Association, a significant number became warlocks.
As if a powerful temptation had swept them away.
The Wizards’ Association, temples, and knights from each country were busy subduing them.
In addition, while the temple was not paying attention, those with the sprouts of darkness began to awaken at a very young age.
Although he was not as dangerous as someone who learned the sword, he was dangerous and powerful enough for a newborn to strangle his parents.
The appearance of numerous warlocks and the awakening of those who possess the sprout of darkness.
The situation I was worried about was happening.
Those who had been working hard to build a defense system on the wall had to face them when they suddenly arrived.
The human world, which had been steeped in peace, fell into chaos from within, and the chaos was spreading like a fire.
It was a spark that would come back to life even if it was extinguished, unless the source of chaos disappeared.
It is the responsibility of the warrior to save the world in danger. Now everything was in Helmut’s hands.
