Chapter 275. The end of the saintess (4)
“What?”
“The woman’s problems are within our jurisdiction. There’s no reason for them to get involved. I see no reason to fight.”
“Is there? Because she’s been giving shit to my territory.”
For a moment, the girl, at a loss for words, shut her mouth.
Still, I kept denying that I would catch on to the end.
“That’s what she did.”
“Even so, there’s no way the guys involved behind the scenes weren’t at fault.”
He shut his mouth to admit it.
“Looks like you were involved, but not the main culprit. Who else is behind you?”
Instead of answering, the girl snapped her finger.
Then the feet rose up, and a giant worm-like monster emerged from the ground and tried to swallow me.
Earthworms are earthworms, which are several kilometers in size and ugly, and have countless saw-like teeth in their huge mouths.
And it definitely smells like shit.
“…What is this smelly thing? Before that, what was so big?!”
“The Great Deathworm.”
Wasn’t that a monster that went extinct 300 years ago?
I’ve heard that it’s a monster that lives in the desert and swallows most low-level dragons in one bite.
It seems that this is the girl’s area of expertise, like the rogue bird and the dragon mentioned earlier.
Is this her pet?
“Pet hobbies are nasty.
At least you should have taught me not to bite people!”
“Okay. My kid is nice, so normal people don’t ask.”
I speak well.
As it was, the Death Worm swallowed the entire surrounding area, including me.
You eat in a hurry.
Inside the Death Worm’s body, I frowned.
smell.”
It smells like all the filth in the world has been gathered into one place.
I think I’m going to vomit
It is even suspected that this death worm kills its prey by suffocating it with its stench.
It is not the stench of this world.
“That’s the charm.”
“It sucks.”
I immediately cast magic and burned the entire area around.
In addition, it caused a large-scale explosion and escaped while tearing the Death Worm to shreds.
“If you knew that I hate dirty things, I would like to give you a spanking as a real prize…
.
In the moment of being swallowed, the girl completely escaped.
It seems that he tore off the barrier by force and escaped.
All that remains of the girl is a hole she dug and escaped.
Are you a mole?
” shit.”
Chasing… is it difficult?
Seeing as he doesn’t want to fight head-on, he seems clumsy when it comes to using force directly for a partner, but other than that, his abilities aren’t trivial.
It would be difficult to catch such a talented person if he made up his mind and ran away.
It’s impossible for me to pursue there now.
I muttered looking at my hands.
“I’m at my limit too.”
To be honest, the mana I have now is the limit.
‘Should I step back for now…
I was sure there were people involved behind Nelvania anyway.
It’s not that there’s no success at all.
I sighed and dispelled the magic.
And my figure disappeared in the completely ruined forest area.
Tak-tak-tak…..
I knocked on the table and thought silently.
Seeing that, the other nobles looked at me and said nothing.
“. Arell?”
Pena spoke cautiously.
“hmm? what’s the matter?”
“No, because I was suddenly blank. I was wondering if something was wrong.”
Apparently, the other nobles are also watching me.
Apparently, because of the atmosphere, Pena stepped in and called me instead.
look worried about something
” I’m tired?”
“No, it’s nothing. I was thinking about something else for a while. Everyone, don’t worry about it.”
When I said it sternly, the nobles noticed, but if possible, they didn’t talk.
Pena also withdrew without asking further.
that would be of concern
After suddenly receiving the victory report, I was a bit dazed, focusing on something else without saying anything.
That’s because I was actually minding something else.
‘I can’t do this twice.
You’re terribly tired.’
I don’t feel very good because I feel a little tired.
When I heard the news that Nelvania had fled, I felt the need to go on my own, as I had the opportunity.
However, this place is in the middle of the battlefield.
It was also in the middle of commanding with the attention of other nobles.
No matter how much it is, I can’t suddenly leave the seat blindly.
Even if you don’t suspect it, there will be a commotion.
So I deliberately sent ‘me’ in a different way.
I sent my consciousness directly to a figure that looked exactly like me that I secretly created by dividing some of my inner energy.
yes that’s it
A type of sorcery.
An alter ego with mass!
Where are you looking?
This is my alter ego!
I write when I want to show off that feeling.
Well, it’s a superficial spell that’s nothing special anyway.
It is weaker than the main body as much as it shares internal energy, so there are not many places to use it.
I thought it would be no problem to deal with it even if I sent an alter ego, since it was at least one saintess anyway.
Even if it was clearly an alter ego, I poured 30% of my mana.
Even if he brought one more dragon with him, he would be able to subdue them without any problems.
But, no way, my partner… I would have thought that a guy who was presumed to have had multiple reincarnations would come out.
Her face was a cute girl, but her actions weren’t cute at all.
What are those stinky worms!
Although it is an alter ego, its consciousness is connected to the main body in order to handle it easily.
It hurts when you get hit, and it’s unpleasant when you touch something wrong.
I still feel a tingling in my nose.
‘It was a surprisingly strong enemy.’
I thought I would be able to overcome it if I fought well, but I made a mistake.
In the first place, most of the mana sent to the clone was consumed just by isolating the space.
I was only marginally superior in martial arts, but it was difficult to subdue it purely by force.
In fact, in order to subdue her, I think it’s enough that I have to go and fight myself, not an alter ego.
….But if that’s the case, the surrounding area won’t be left completely, so I’ll have to seriously consider it.
The place wasn’t good, so I gave up chasing it.
If a battle breaks out in earnest for no reason, not one or two people get caught up in it.
I don’t know if only the enemy is involved, but there are many allies here.
You have to consider the possibility of a trap there.
‘Anyway, the purpose this time was to expel only the saints… Let’s not be greedy.’
The purpose has already been achieved.
It is said that the flag of surrender has just been hoisted on Fort Caylan.
It seems that there were quite a few soldiers who saw the saintess run away, so they didn’t even have the will to fight anymore.
Because the dragon, the trump card, was also defeated.
It must be considered reckless to fight.
It is natural to surrender.
There is no reason for the Seongguk to fight anymore.
Because the saintess is no longer in this world.
…to be precise, she was abandoned by the human who gave her strength.
“…silly.”
“yes? Are you Arel? What did you say?”
The nobles who heard what I muttered were puzzled.
“No, it’s just that I have a bad feeling about it. Anything else from Kaylan Fortress before that?”
“It seems so.”
“Then treat those who surrender respectfully as prisoners. Don’t start a fire by doing something stupid.”
After paying close attention, I wanted to ask about the situation of other units.
It’s the dragon subjugation team.
It was noisy because they were shouting victory in the middle of the day, so they turned off all communication ports.
It seems that the cheers have died down, so I guess I can contact you again soon.
“Now, have you fully enjoyed the joy of victory?”
“…Hey… Arell?”
huh? Is it because of my mood that Kania’s sister’s voice, which I thought would be in full swing, sounded trembling?
“Why is that, Kania-nee? You’re quieter than expected. I thought by now you would have just climbed on top of the dragon and eagerly took a commemorative photo with the record ball’?”
u. Now, until I did something like that too…
Um… I was going to do it.”
“You meant to?”
How can you not deviate an inch from my expectations?
I admire that unchanging mindset.
I have no idea what to say.
On the contrary, I would like to recommend it because it is evidence of defeat.
If possible, I wonder if I should go and shoot with them.
“I don’t care what you do as long as you properly transport the dragon and bring it to me. Don’t worry, dragon meat has a long shelf life. It doesn’t hurt.”
“…No… Arell… that’s it.”
At this point, I had a hunch that something else had happened.
It is felt.
This is the spirit of thought.
“Something? Summarize briefly. What accident did you have?”
“The dragon is gone.”
My sister said cautiously, as if she had no face.
There’s a report of your dragon missing.
….Depending on today, why do I miss so many things?
The partner escaped, the saintess was killed, and the dragon was also lost.
Is today the day when the probability of success increases if you try to escape?
Is there a god of escape and is it the day he blesses you?
Is it the day when the success rate goes up if you run away?
It was absurd.
* * *
“I will only tell you what happened as it happened. The dragon suddenly disappeared!”
Upon returning, Sister Kania explained the circumstances surrounding the loss of the dragon.
“I thought the dragon was dead, but suddenly came back to life and disappeared!”
It seemed that he was really embarrassed to be flustered and restless.
The joy of defeating the dragon overlaps with the regret of missing out, so it’s hard to calm down the excitement.
“Calm down for now.”
“It must have been a teleport.”
“yes yes. I guess so.”
“The dragon I thought was dead suddenly opened its eyes!”
“Oh, how amazing.”
First of all, I listened to the situation step by step while setting the rhythm.
The circumstances are said to be as follows.
After defeating the dragon, the subjugation party was so excited that they shouted praises for Sister Kania and me.
That’s why no one noticed.
I didn’t even know because I was busy trying to catch a prominent saint.
It was the time when my sister was about to climb up and taste the feeling of conquering the dragon.
It is said that the dragon suddenly opened its eyes.
At that moment, most of the soldiers just sat down and some even excused themselves.
The moment when everyone, one step too late, was ready to raise their weapons again.
The dragon is said to have disappeared.
oh! It is said that they disappeared without even having time to shout.
According to the wizards, teleportation was obvious.
But I don’t know the coordinates.
It seemed that it was probably randomly designated and ran away.
In addition, it is said that the magic formula was so complicated that they couldn’t even calculate it backwards.
It is said that only the sword that was stuck in the dragon’s wrath was lying in front of the sister who stared blankly at her.
“Isn’t the sword broken?”
huh.
That’s good.
“Ah… it’s a waste… it’s really a waste.”
“Yeah, it’s too bad. The ending was awkward.”
My brother and sister grieved at the same time and licked their lips.
“…Dragon meat.”
“…Dragon Slayer.”
Delicious meat and honor.
We mumbled our regrets to each other and expressed our sincere regret.
Dragon meat… I was really looking forward to cooking it for the first time in a while.
It seems that my sister was also sincerely looking forward to the opportunity to gain the honor of defeating a dragon as a knight.
After all, the title of defeating a dragon is one of the greatest honors as a knight.
Just catch it and you’ll become a legend.
However, since they ran away, the dragon slayer crossed the water.
At best, she would only be called the princess who stunned the dragon.
But isn’t that great too?
“Ugh… next time we meet, I will definitely pierce your heart.”
It was the older sister who gnashed her teeth while saying something eerie.
It seems that there is a strong resentment over this incident.
