Chapter 125 - Her Her & Her (1)
It was the dead of night, yet a party was exiting Lihazeta.They made sure no one knew they were leaving.This group included Artpe, Maetel, Vadinet, Silpennon, Aria, Leseti and Deyus.
Artpe thought about watching the new pope being elected, but it would take too long.He had went through the trouble of declaring a war against the Demon realm, so he couldn’t laze around in one place.
“Hoo-ooh.I want to sleep.”
“Do you want to sleep while I carry you, Artpe?”
“No.Please restrain yourself.”
As always, Silpennon was jealous and envious when he heard the conversation between Artpe and Maetel.His body shook.Suddenly, he had a thought.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you plan on adding us to your party?You said you’ll consider it after we settle matters here.”
“I did, and I decided.We’ll walk parallel paths to each other, so we’ll never cross paths again…..”
“You bastard!?”
At Artpe’s words, Silpennon approached him.He tried to grab Artpe’s neck, but Maetel sent him a sharp gaze.Her gaze was as sharp as a knife.He slowly put down his hands.Artpe gave him an explanation.
“If Aria hadn’t shown up, I probably would have merged the two parties.However, that is no longer the case.”
“The addition of one more holy priestess is a good thing!She was able to sufficiently weaken the Four Heavenly King we faced!”
“Two parties will each possess a holy priestess, and we will cause confusion to our enemies.Moreover…..”
It was expected that there were two Demon Kings in the Demon realm.If they moved in a group of eight, they would just become an easier target.The hero’s party was effective against the Demon King’s army, because they were a light and sharp spear.There was nothing to gained by bulking up the party.
“I want us to operate as two parties.Your party is pretty balanced now.”
“Still, we are weak compared to you guys.”
“That is why you should get stronger.We’ll draw the aggro of our enemies..You guys can remain on the down low, while growing in power.We’ll face the Demon King’s army with two hero’s party.”
“You…...”
Silpennon finally realized the meaning behind the words spoken to him by Artpe not too long ago.He realized why Artpe had insisted Silpennon accompany Aria, and he realized why her identity was kept a secret.
He also now knew why he was so bold in appearing in public with Maetel and Vadinet.
“Still, this sounds like nonsense!The real hero’s party will act as a shield for fake hero’s party?There should be a limit as to how many idiotic words can come out of your mouth!?”
This was why he was taken aback by it!
“The other option is we can attack the Demon King’s castle, while you guys act as a shield.However, you guys are too weak, so we have no choice.We have to do it the opposite way.”
“We are strong.It’ll be alright.”
Silpennon was at a loss for words when he heard Artpe’s words and Maetel’s calm words.Of course, he knew that the power of Artpe and Maetel was unfathomable.They probably became much stronger after defeating one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Despite this fact, Silpennon thought they were being reckless.
“I want you all to work hard.Leseti.Deyus.Can you do this?”
“Hero’s party….I never expected a day to come where I would have to shoulder such a title…....”
“······I’ll do as you ask.It can’t be helped.”
Leseti and Deyus didn’t sound too satisfied with the current situation, but they didn’t try to turn down the responsibility.Artpe was satisfied with that.
It was a chaotic era, and there weren’t that many people in this world that were capable of doing what they wanted.At the very least, the two of them would have a hand in determining the course of this era.Their lives were better than most in this world.
“Are you willing to put your life on the line?”
“If the Demon King’s army wins, it either means the death of all humans or the humanity will become a plaything for the Demon King.”
Artpe calmly spoke those words.Lastly, he looked at Aria, who was holding onto Silpennon’s sleeve.
It had been merely 10 days, yet everything around her had changed.Everything was unfamiliar and difficult.Despite all of this, she had accepted her role as the holy priestess, and she was trying to forge ahead.He put her next to Silpennon to provide encouragement…..
“Be strong, Aria.”
“Yes, Artpe-nim.I’m sorry for being unable to support you by your side as a holy priestess…..However, I believe that your instructions will lead to the defeat of the Demon King.I will do my best next to Mr Silpennon.”
“Yes, that is enough.”
When Silpennon heard her words, he thought Aria was lamenting over the fact that she wasn’t able to join Artpe. His thoughts became gruff and surly.Everyone else was able to glean from her roundabout explanation that she was very satisfied with the current arrangement.Leseti turned pale when she observed Silpennon’s reaction.However, she didn’t go out of her way to spell out Aria’s thoughts to Silpennon.
“We’ll be going now.I want you to focus on raising the level of Leseti and Deyus.”
“I’m very familiar with Dungeons now.We've done this for the past 2 years.Just leave it to me.”
Artpe and Silpennon lightly dapped their fists as a goodbye.The two party started to move in different directions.
-
Silpennon’s party would move as planned.They were going to clear the nearby Dungeons as they grew their abilities.
“She didn't even look back once.…..should I give up on Maetel?”
“You should.I think Maetel-nim would rather die than be with someone other than Artpe-nim.”
At holy priestess Aria’s forthright statement, Silpennon groaned as he lowered his head.
Leseti, who was supposed to be his guardian knight, didn’t console her master.She just looked at Artpe’s backside as she licked her lips.
“Artpe is more handsome now….He looks like an adult.Each of his words and gestures is oozing with sex.Hoo-ooh……Ssssp.”
“Your voice is dripping with desire and lingering attachment, Leseti.Why don’t you just transfer into their party?”
When Silpennon gave a prickly reply, Leseti smirked as she shrugged her shoulders.
“If not for me, who is going to serve you?Even if I have to give up my youth, I’ll make you succeed in your role as the fake hero.”
“Koo koo.Ms Leseti is a pretty good person.”
“Oh my.You are able to see that?You are better than expected.Let’s be on friendly terms from now on.”
They had met not too long ago, yet Leseti and Aria was getting chummy.When Silpennon saw this, he pouted.Deyus roughly had an idea as to the feelings of the two women, so Deyus thought Silpennon was a bit of a git.
“Let’s hurry up and go, Silpennon-nim.”
“I’m miserable right now, so why are being testy, Deyus?”
“Ah.Let’s hurry up and go!Let’s go catch some monsters!”
“You bastard!?”
They had gained a new party member.She was a level 231 holy priestess with an Innate ability.If he wanted to, Silpennon could claim their party to be the hero’s party.That was how strong they were.Silpennon’s party once again moved to explore more Dungeons.
No one in this world knew about their existence.When their power was revealed, it would truly fuck over the Demon King’s army.
On the other hand, Artpe’s party was moving down their path at a much faster rate than Silpennon’s party.It wasn’t comparable.While they were traveling from Aedia to Paladia, the distance between the two parties had widened.Silpennon’s party had to catch up with them.
-
“In this venture, we were able to locate all the Warp Gates that were placed around the continent.Moreover, we obtained the right to use it.Hue hue.It is as if the hero’s party got a system upgrade.”
“System······?”
