212 Episode 212 "Ritual for selecting the next" Hero Guild "and the invasion of the third power".txt (1/2)

From the perspective of the Original Heroes' Guild.

The strongest party of the 'Original Heroic Guild' was advancing through the forest.

Beyond the trees, they could see a snow-covered mountain.

That's the mountain where the Frost Basilisk lives.

To reach it, they would have to defeat numerous demons.

But we can't afford to lose. We have to show that we, the Original Brave Men's Guild, are the only true brave men.

””Yes, yes,”

What's up? You're talking too loud.

''Well, as expected, my magic power is at ...... and my magic is limited to one more time, so it's time to recover.

All right. Well, I guess I'll have to do it then.

””...... haha”

'The next demon that comes up, let's go home!

The original Heroic Guild Leader, Joos-Kosaka, raised his staff, which was engraved with flames.

''This is where the distance to the mountain of the 'Frost Basilisk' is about 72% of the distance remaining. Seventy percent to go. Let's move on to the cut-off point.

””...... is a yes.”

''Don't worry. ”Don't worry, I have the Flame Wand. Because of this wand, I can face the Frost Basilisk without fear.

The lord of the 'Northern Town of Hermilt' fled back from that basilisk, didn't he?

One of his subordinates blurted out.

Hearing this, Jose-Kosaka smiled and

It's sad. A lord who doesn't know his own vessel is a lord who doesn't know his own vessel: ......

...... reader.

At the very least, we can fill you in on your mistakes. I'm sure that the lords will see the error of their ways and stop discriminating against wizards. When you show them the results, they will know who the real brave men are.

Joos-Kosaka declared.

'There can only be (・・・・・・・・) one (・・・・・) true guild of the brave chosen (・・・・・). Those who are not chosen will have to take control of the chosen one. It's been decided (・・・・・・) so (・・・・).

I know.

We follow Mr. Joss's thoughts at .......

For wizards are the ones who should be treated as brave!

Three of his men raised their voices. Their eyes sparkled.

They were the adventurers of the 'Northern Town of Hermilt'.

They were dissatisfied with their lord's methods, but Joss-Kosaka had guided them. There are many doubts, but for now, they have no choice but to follow him. Because he is a brave man with super strength.

I don't care if I fall by the wayside.

Jose-Kosaka brushed back his black hair and murmured.

It's just that I can't forgive the swordsmen for looking down on wizards as cowards who just shoot magic from behind. I'm willing to risk my life to change their minds. I'll make every sacrifice I can to defeat a powerful demon!

””Oh, oh, oh, oh!”

Gaga: ──── swoon!

As if in response to their voices - the screams of the demons resounded.

The self-proclaimed brave Jose-Kosaka and his friends stopped in their tracks.

A pale beast appeared from behind a sparse tree.

It was a huge tiger covered in ice.

Frozen Tiger.

A huge tiger, over two meters long.

It has sharp fangs and claws. Its supple movements allow it to capture its prey in an instant.

It has ice-like attributes.

Its claws and fangs have the ability to freeze.

There are three ”frozen tigers”.

There are three Frozen Tigers, the larger of which is followed by two smaller ones.

From their mouths, they exhale breath that is covered in ice particles. Although they are not as good as the Frost Basilisk, they are still powerful demons. If you're not sure about this, you'll have to ask yourself, ”What are you doing?

You have to use defensive magic!　In the meantime, I'll play my trump card!

””Yes, sir!”

The three people behind him started chanting.

At the same time, 'Frozen Tiger' kicked the ground.

''The 'Flame Wall' (Flame Wall)!''

Boom.

A burning wall appears in front of Frozen Tiger's eyes.

The tremendous amount of heat causes Frozen Tiger to stop in its tracks.

But it only lasts for a few seconds.

The tiger's entire body was covered in cold air and he jumped over the wall of fire in one fell swoop.

”Rah rah rah rah!

You're late. I'm ready to go. Come on!　”The Fiery Fiend (Efreet)!

A giant clad in crimson flames appeared in front of Jos-Kosaka's eyes.

Its body was just under three meters in size. It was muscular, and its crimson hair was swaying like a flame.

The wizards under their command cheered. This is the proof that Joss-Kosaka is a brave man. The most powerful, summoning magic.

''UGoOOOOOOO!!!''

And then the battle between ”Efreet” and ”Frozen Tiger” began.

A few hours later

Everybody!　Thank you.

'Hey, I'm finally back in the village ...... and I'm tired ...... and it's been a tough day.'

Joos-Kosaka and his wizards arrived at a village in the mountains.

This is the place where the ”Original Heroes' Guild” is based.

It's a small village where people hunt and gather in the mountains and there are about a dozen houses.

The Honke Brave Men's Guild had made this place their temporary home for the purpose of defeating the Frost Basilisk.

It's a good thing that you're back. Brave man.

An elder of the village greeted them.

'It's good to see you are safe. So, I would like to talk to you. ......

Yeah. We can talk about it. Look at this.

Jose-Kosaka pulled a pure white fang from the leather bag.

'It took me a while,' he said. It took some time, but we succeeded in defeating a powerful demon. This will make it clear to everyone in the village that we are the brave ones, right?

'Ha, ha. I see that some of you are injured.

Can I have the herb?

I don't mind that. ......

The elder looked away from Jose-Kosaka as he turned away.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave the village now, sir.

”?　I don't know what you're talking about.

You are based in a tower, right?　You don't need to be in this village ......?

The towers are meant to prepare for the enemy guild's attack. The reason we are renting this village in between is to defeat the 'Frost Basilisk'. That's not our purpose.

'I am sorry to tell you, but since your arrival, demons have been appearing around the ...... village. Perhaps they have followed a trail of blood to the village.

Okay. We'll head out to take them down tomorrow.

'No, not exactly!

The elder shouted out.

Before he knew it, the villagers had come out of the house.

They were staring at Jose-Kosaka and the others with cold eyes.

This village was originally intended to be a place for gathering and hunting. We've lived quietly, away from the nawabari of demons. Please leave them alone: ......

Okay, I get it.

Do you understand?

I suppose they had to live on their own without any regard for that lord. But there's no need to worry about it. I'm not going to let you live like that anymore, now that we're here. We will defeat all the demons and make sure that you can live freely.

............ Oh.

The elder crumbled disconsolately.

''Ever since those who call themselves the 'Original Heroic Guild' came to the village, it's been like this ever since they came to the village.

They are strong. They can defeat the demons that the villagers cannot defeat.

But that's all. They leave the defeated demons alone and don't even collect the materials. Even if I told them to recover them, ”I'm not fighting for that! I'm just angry. Even though the villagers tried to dispose of the demon's corpse, they couldn't follow where they were going.

As this continued, demons began to gather around the village, attracted by the scent of blood.

Up until now, there were certain places around the village where the demons would come and not come. That has been completely broken. The villagers no longer know what is safe and dangerous.

''I'll say it again. I'll say it again, I did it for your sake...

It's a demon...!　There's a herd of 'Frozen Tigers'!

Suddenly, a shout went up.

It came from the watchtower in the center of the village.

'It's coming from the mountains to the west!　The number is ...... There are eight of them!

Eight ”Frozen Tigers”? You can't even win one of them! 'Ahhhhhhhh! ''How could this happen ...... when no strong demon is supposed to come here!

Oh, my God, you guys!　These, these fangs!

The elder takes a bite out of Joos-Kosaka.

'These fangs!　He must have taken it from the ”Frozen Tiger” he defeated!　Of course, you've wiped out the enemy, haven't you!　You've removed the blood, haven't you!

No, we were only able to take out one of them due to lack of strength.

──── Huh!

I've collected the fangs of the guy I beat as proof of my score: ......

Jose-Kosaka picked up the leather bag.

Upon closer inspection, he saw a small hole in it, through which drops of blood had fallen.

It seems that he had accidentally torn it open when he put the fangs of the 'Frozen Tiger' in it.

''You are!　Your organization!　You're doing this all the time!　Forcibly occupying the village and raiding the demon's Nawabari!

'No, no, this is my own decision. Lately, the guild's structure has changed. We're going to discuss our strategy with everyone and decide. But ...... what shall we do? My 'Fiery Demon (Efreet)' can only take out one of them.

Jose-Kosaka looked at his companions behind him.

They were all breathing heavily. They could at least run, but not in combat.

'Good. We're retreating.

””Riiiiiiight, I got it!”

Huh? ”Wait a minute! ”You're the ones who brought the demons to me!　You're running away! Well, at least fight until the villagers get away!

...... I told you that the lords are responsible for the tragedy in this village?

Jose-Kosaka's tone changed.

He stepped back, declaring in a cold voice, as if he was a different person from earlier.

Immediately after, a 'Flame Wall' is created between him and the villagers. The people shouting foul-mouthed words become invisible.

We can't let our mistakes turn into points for the enemy. Times have changed.

The days of 'White Guild' and 'Guildmaster' are over, and we're fighting to determine the next 'Guild of the Brave'. We have no choice but to do this too: ......

Leader.” ”I know.” ”We're with the leader.

Józse-Kósaka and the others start running.

Towards their home base, the tower in the forest.

And when they get to the exit of the village...

A crimson beam of light crossed through the forest.

The light cuts off the trees - it cleaves the trees.

The ray of light shot out from somewhere in the forest, cutting off the trees and splitting them in half. There is nothing to block that light, and everything is cut in half. And then it goes straight through the forest...

”Gah gah gah gah ────?

The eight ”Frozen Tigers” were instantly killed.

It happened in an instant.

Rays of light penetrated the eight demons and burned them out.

Their skin, which was protected by the cold air, evaporated and their flesh was collectively reduced to ashes.

Wrapped in the crimson rays of light, the 'Frozen Tiger' disappeared without leaving even a drop of blood behind.

''...... na, what was that? A hero from the 'Original Heroic Guild'?

No, sir. It's magic. More wizards than us.” ”Enemies?　Our side? ............ If there's magic like that, I don't know what 'Frost Basilisk' is.

Jose-Kosaka and the others begin to tremble.

We're already within range of that ray of light. We have to get away. Soon, the Wall of Fire will disappear. The villagers will follow. We have to run away now. ......
