Chapter 19 – The One Presence that Can Change the War Alone (1/2)

CHAPTER 19: THE ONE PRESENCE THAT CAN CHANGE THE WAR ALONE

I glimpsed around, and confirmed the battlefield.

The adventurer’s side was clearly exhausted, but even that, they were defeating monsters one next to the other.

It’s just that, the next instance that they defeat them, more monsters appears.

Once in awhile 1-2 adventurers were being defeated.

There is no replenishment of adventurers.

With that difference, the adventurers’ are being pushed.

If it’s like thatーーI’ll decrease their numbers first!

I ran to the front lines while holding Eleanor.

I split in two the skeleton that had a close fight with an adventurer from its side.

「You are……?」

The adventurer that was very injured in you looked carefully, was looking at me strangely.

There is no time for talking, so I ran to the next monster’s place.

I got between the places that had skirmishes, and defeat the monsters with one hit.

While decreasing their numbers, I made it that casualties on our side don’t increase.

I ran through the battlefield. Monster’s corpses piled up in the places I went through.

After repeating that, the battle situation changed slowly.

The adventures that I saved, who ones who had their hands free, went to save other adventurers.

With increased numbers, they easily defeated the monsters together.

With that, the number that is defeated, the pace went up.

The flow of the battle had changed. The adventurer’s side started pushed back.

At that time, one adventurer slashed at me.

「Damn youuu!!」

It was a young adventurer. I easily blocked the long sword that was slashed down from a high stance with Eleanor.

「You are the monster’s leader huh!」

「What are you saying」

「Don’t joke around!! Releasing such ominous aura!!」

The man said damning.

………

Ahー, Un, That’s right.

However you look at Eleanor’s dark aura, you would think about it like that.

Well this monster army, it was originally hers too.

Being misunderstood is natural.

Honestly, this man was righteous as he is.

「Wait, that person’s different!」

Another adventurer came from behind, and stopped the man.

When I looked, it was a person I saved.

「What are you saying, you」

「It’s the truth! Believe me」

The man stopped moving, I saw a clear hesitation in him.

There’s no time explaining, so exploiting that, I left him alone and went to the next target.

Defeat, defeating, and defeated them all.

After defeating the monsters to some extent, I noticed something

The monsters I encounter had become new ones. Different to how it was until now, I couldn’t see marks of fighting on them.

It means that they are newborn.

「Does this mean that the pace that they are being defeated had exceeded the pace they were being born」

『That seems the case』

「Then, what should I do to stop them being born completely?」

I had a leeway, so I asked for the solution to Eleanor.

『Who knows』

「Who knows you say, it was your power originally, right」

『If they were still under my control I could have stopped them when I wanted to, as easy as breathing, but this is the first time they were released』

「……」

I lost my words, it somehow sounded convincing so I couldn’t say anything.

「We will seal it」

The adventurer girl who was on my side said. It was the magician-like girl that I saved right now.

「Seal?」

「The person who has that ability is on standby. After pushing back the monsters to its summoning point, it was planned to be sealed there」

「That means I only need to think of annihilating them right」

「Yes!」

The adventurer girl made a big nod.

Her eyes looked straight through me.

They were eyes of expectation and trust.

「If that is so, I should shift my gear」

「Eh! That means that you weren’t serious yet」

「Well yeah」

I nodded. The girl was surprised more and more.

It was because, I had to save them until now.
