89 Boy sold to harpy (2/2)

I lost my country to a demon, wandered and drifted to the free city of Thessia.

And when I saw the Republic of Ariadia, I thought.

I didn't know that there was such a big country, and that there were people living in such abundance.

But at the same time I thought, ”What a waste of time.

But at the same time, I thought it was unfair.

The country where I was born is not rich. It was always threatened by demons.

And yet the citizens of the Republic of Ariadia are not attacked by demons, but they live inside the splendid walls of the city.

If they had such fine walls, my country might not have died.

So I can somehow understand how Walras feels.

But.

I look at Phineas behind me.

But that doesn't mean I can't sell the same person.

Phineas is a bit like me in his situation.

We lost our fathers in the same way and became freedom fighters in the same way.

I was lucky because I had a sister, Kayna.

If my sister Keina hadn't helped me when I first became a freedom fighter, I would have died sooner or later.

But Phineas was not blessed with people.

The warrior group he entered was willing to sell Phineas from the beginning.

As a general rule, once you become a warrior, you have to be prepared to die, but isn't it different in this case?

'I don't know what happened to you in your past!　But there's no way I can sell you to a demon, Phineas!

Shut up!　Don't talk to me like you're a clever little girl!　There are more of them over here!　You guys are going to do it!

The New Green Warriors, led by Walrath, take up arms.

”Phinneas, watch this. I'm about to show you what a real warrior looks like.

Novis smiles at Phineas and holds up his great sword.

His face is very anxious.

''Novis is right. We're not going to lose to those guys.

Knights, soldiers, freedom fighters. These are all called warriors.

Warriors exist to protect people from demons.

They sell the people they are supposed to protect to demons. These men are not warriors. They are outsiders.

And we will not lose to them.

We and Walrath and the others take up arms and face each other.

Shizu-chan ....... Imam-sama is strong.

I know.

The mage in question is quite far back from Walrath and the others.

Is he not willing to fight?

Do it, you bastards!

Throughout the new green warrior group, five men hold their bows and shoot arrows.

''How can such arrows work!

I make a shield with the blessing of Lady Raina.

Naturally, the arrows are blocked by the shield and fall.

We close the distance between us before I can prepare the next arrow.

”d*mn it!　Next arrow!

Walrath shouts. Of course, I wouldn't give him the time of day.

Nora takes aim at the person who is about to set up her bow with rapid fire.

Then the fast-footed sister Kayna runs into the other person, and then Novis, who has a large sword at the ready, cleaves Walrath's companion.

The two of them do well, and in the blink of an eye, half of them are defeated.

Weak.

From their movements, it is clear that they have little training as warriors.

On the contrary, some of them seem to have been drinking.

I can only assume that these guys are licking their chops in battle.

Probably, they didn't fight the demons and were only doing the cheating. That's why they can't fight when the time comes.

In this case, the goblins who were trying to fight seriously were stronger.

''d*mn!　The magician's husband!　Help!

Walrath and the rest of the men flee to the mage.

'Commander, I don't like fighting. But, well, I guess it can't be helped. Come out.

The mage says and something with a huge robe comes out from behind.

The huge robe falls down to the floor. The one who comes out from inside is a large man whose entire body is covered in armor.

''This is the strongest immortal (undead) warrior my master Tarabos has ever made. And this armor has the effect of completely blocking the sunlight. Can we beat you guys?

The mage laughs.

'Come on, kill them in front of me!

A warrior in armor wields a sword.

''Oh?''

The head of Walrath, who was in front of the armored immortals (undead), falls off.

''Sheesh. Come to think of it, the commanders were right in front of you or ....... This warrior is still developing and inflexible and cannot change his orders. Consider yourself unlucky and give up.

The mage's voice is not the least bit apologetic.

It's as if he doesn't care about the lives of Walrath and the others.

An armored immortal (undead) kills Warrass' friends in front of him.

Its movements are very fast.

''Help!

After being blown up by sister Kayna and Novis, Walrath's companions ask for our help.

'What do we do?　Mr. Sisyphe?

Miss Leiria asks me with a troubled look on her face.

'It can't be helped. But I'll push you to the right place later!

We are confronted with an armored immortal (undead).

''Gaaaaaaaah!!!!!

An immortal (undead) in armor comes charging in with his sword raised.

''Konoha!

Novis heads towards you with his greatsword at the ready.

Clang. and the sound of sword clashing with sword.

The two sides are evenly matched in strength.

They are pushing each other.

What nonsense!　You've stopped the most powerful undead in the world!

The mage's surprised voice.

Looking at his astonished face, he must have been very confident in the power of the armored immortals (undead).

''There's no way Novice could lose to such a wooden doll!　Good luck, Novis!

I'm rooting for Novice.

'I can't not try my best when Sisyphe tells me to!　I'm gonna bring him down!　You all need to take down that d*mned mage!

I can see Novis laughing over his back.

Novis and an armored immortal (undead) fight in single combat.

Sword to sword clashes.

At first glance, it appears to be an even match. But I'm confident that Novis is going to win.

So we close in on the mage.

”d*mn it!　It's the evil spirit, Larva!　Gather at my call!

The time is already evening. If it's a place where the shadows are thick, we can summon the evil spirits.

''necromancy!　Everyone be strong in your consciousness!

Maddy shouts.

'Go mad and die!　Legion of Evil (Legion)!

Invoked translucent evil spirits (Larva) gather into one and become a blue-white glowing ball.

These guys don't attack your body, but your spirit directly.

If they couldn't resist, they would go mad and die.

''Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ！！！！

The cry of madness of the demonic spirit cluster (Legion).

We are strong in our consciousness.

We will not be defeated! I pray to the goddess Raina.

My heart is torn, but I slash through the evil spirit group (Legion).

The evil spirit group (Legion) is dissipated by the attack of the magic sword.

''Where's the mage?!''

The evil spirit group (Legion) disappears and Leiria-san shouts out.

When I look, I don't see the mage.

''Do you want to chase him?　Sisyphe?

Sister Kayna says, touching her proud legs.

'No, sister Kayna. It's dangerous to go deeper.'

I shake my head. It's frustrating, but I can't force it. We'll camp here today.

”It's all right, Sisyphe. She'll get that mage.

What?

Nora said, looking into the distance. I didn't know what that meant.

'Oryaaaaaah!'

I looked behind me as I heard a shout.

There was Novis, slaying the armored immortals (undead).

It looks like he won.

We go over to Novis.

'Wow. This is a real warrior.

Phineas' eyes watered as if he was impressed, and he muttered to himself.

◆Kilius the Magician.

I didn't expect this to happen.

I didn't think they would be so strong.

I had to get away from them in a hurry.

I went back the way I came.

It's quite tiring.

But I must hurry back or it will be night.

The journey was easier because I let the undead warriors carry me.

But now I must get back on my feet.

”d*mn it!　How could I, a great sorcerer, let this happen to me!

I grit my teeth.

How could I, the great Saria mage, let this happen to me?

'Stop,'

That's when I suddenly hear a voice behind me. I felt a sharp pain in my leg.

'Huh?'

He screams and doesn't know why. Falling over.

My leg hurts. It looks like I've been slashed by something.

'Kilius the Sorcerer, was it ......?'

They call my name from behind.

When I manage to turn my face back, I see a woman standing alone in the setting sun.

The woman holds a curved sword in her hand.

''Huh?　What is it? What about you?

'I'm Shenna. I don't need you to remember me, though. Didn't you notice I've been following you the whole time?

The woman who called herself Shenna put away her curved sword as she said this.

I was going to join you if Sisyphe and the others were in danger, but I didn't need to. But still, he is very, very slow. I followed him slowly, but he caught up with me easily.

Shenna looks at me like I'm an idiot.

This woman seems to have seen our fight.

'What are you going to do to me?'

Of course I'll go out with the right people. Witch-hunters and such. Brace yourselves.

I shudder to hear those words.

Witch hunters are those who hunt those who have made a pact with demons and evil gods.

Their pursuit is relentless and they are said to die after torture.

Why should I have to go through that? How absurd.

And the non-human ones who emerge from the front.

They are demons called lizardmen.

'Come on, please, Lizardman. Carry that person for me.

A clerical voice.

I had to shudder at the voice.
