454 452 Mercenaries and Adventurers (1/2)

After seeing Zephyrd's death, Fran was unable to move. He said fatigue and drowsiness erupted all at once. I guess I was able to forget my fatigue thanks to the adrenaline being out during the fight.

But now that the tension in the battle had subsided, fatigue was outweighing excitement. Too much fatigue builds up, I guess my body wants rest. He is rubbing his eyes tightly.

”Munyu...”

”Are you okay, Fran?

”... go... su”

”Oops.”

”Shh...”

I totally fell asleep. If you rush to take your falling body by your meditation, let it sleep gently on the ground as it is. You're sleeping with a pretty face.

”Hmmm. What shall I do...”

The battle is not over yet. From the direction of the royal castle, a tremendous amount of magic had been felt. There was too much distance to grasp perfectly, but it seemed that there was a presence that emitted great magic alongside the Marquis of Ashtoner in a state of potential liberation. Besides, that's what I can feel more than once.

It would not be irrelevant to hear the ground sounding at times and the ground shaking slightly. The battle is going on.

”When this happens, it's rather good that Fran fell asleep”

Fighting powerful enemies in their present state is suicidal. But Fran will challenge the fight. To protect the King's capital.

'Nevertheless, I didn't know that the price of Fran's potential liberation was to fall into irreparable...'

It is also a question of how long. If it's about a few hours, I might be able to use it somehow. That's what you use only for a moment, and if you instantly kill your enemies, you won't even be driven to death.

But the fact that you have to use potential liberation to win means that the strength of that enemy is considerable. I don't think I can kill you instantly.

And if you fight long enough, Fran shouldn't be the only one. If you can't recover in that state, your chances of dying will jump.

It doesn't matter if the irrecoverability is for a few minutes or so, but it's pretty dangerous for a few days. I don't think it's going to be just for the rest of my life, but it was conceived that it would remain impactful for months.

I can't even try it out on the loose. After all, liberating potential was dangerous. If an organism becomes a body that will never recover when used, it needed to be prepared to risk its life exactly when used.

A special being like me, a willing inorganic object, must have been the only thing I could do at a payback of demonic stone values.

If I'd gone like that, Fran might have died. No, he would have died if Zephyrd hadn't been here. Just thinking about it gives me emotions that I'm not sure what it is. I want to squirm my head with words that don't make sense. My impudence or helplessness makes me hate and resent and I can't help it.

I'll never think of that again. To do this, we need to be stronger.

When I was so determined on Fran's back, I saw Fran sleeping on the ground and Corberto rushed up.

”Fran? Hey, you okay?

”Shh... Shh...”

”Keep it shut, Corbelt. You mean you're tired enough not to get drowsy, right?

”Ah, oh. Right. Nevertheless...”

”What's the matter with you?

”No, if I try this, I don't think I'm the adventurer who defeated that monster.”

”Well, right”

Eliante and Corberto stare at Fran, who sleeps with an unusual sleeping face.

Corberto looks delicate. He realized once again the difference in power from himself. But he looks like a child still young. I guess it's complicated a lot.

But now I seem to recall that this is not the case if you are doing this. I squeezed my expression and stared in the direction of the feeling of great magic.

”So, what do you want to do now?

”Let Fran and Zephyrd be guilds first”

”Yes.”

Eliante carries Fran and Corberto carefully moves with Zephyrd's body. I'm glad Eliante didn't try to take me off the franc.

”You've done too much damage...”

”Right.”

Eliante's whining would be directed more at human harm than objects.

The battle at the Marquis Mansion alone killed nearly 30 adventurers above the middle and also lost the life of Zephyrd, a rank A adventurer. Fran, who relies on him militarily, is in a coma. Moreover, fighting is still ongoing in the King's City.

”This is not where Zephyrd's husband lightly...”
