2nd Rank Has Returned chapter 211

211 - Connected chains -1

211 – Connected chains -1

A quiet dawn, the dark hour when everyone is asleep and even Leo is asleep.

Ariasviel and Reinhardt were already on their way to the rendezvous point.

As planned, Leonardo was completely excluded, and the troops stationed were all of Reinhardt’s direct line, some collateral lines, and elite knights belonging to the head family.

“…Leo, it won’t happen halfway through, right?”

As if conducting an ambush, she secretly led the military outside, but Arya couldn’t be relieved. If it was Leo, he had a hunch that he would come after him by any means.

{You must trust the sages. Right now, the sage is forcibly restraining it from waking from sleep.}

Leo does not sleep normally.

It was normal to fall asleep, but the sage was forcibly lengthening the sleep with magic.

As much as the Philosopher’s Stone is in the heart, distorting the body’s sense of time, sustaining sleep was easier than ever.

In addition, Leo’s room was guarded by Ain so that he wouldn’t wake up from external stimulation, so theoretically, Leo could never notice this situation.

“Besides, there is no way to come even if you know.”

To Leo, everything from the rendezvous point to the subjugation location was kept secret. Even if he knew he had gone first, he would not be able to engage in battle.

We don’t even know where the battlegrounds will be held.

“…Certainly that’s the case…”

Soon Arya stopped worrying. Around her were soldiers and colleagues who were determined to subdue the demon lord.

If you say you are weak as a warrior, your will will only weaken, but your morale will not rise.

I felt the responsibility as a hero for the first time as a physical body.

She

She goes to take the life of the demon king with the holy sword of the warrior herself.

Can you succeed? If you fail, you will be out of control.

In the first episode, she understood herself a little. If she feels this kind of emotion every moment, she will go out to fight alone, anxious even if she wants to rely on Leo.

Even if she herself…

“…Don’t be anxious. You haven’t stopped training until now.”

As Arya shook her hand before battle for the first time, Lumine stabilized her warrior spirit as an adult.

To be honest, even Lumine was anxious.

I’m going to face the demon lord myself, but if I wasn’t nervous, I wouldn’t be a human.

But he had to think only about winning for now.

That’s why she came to this position and even received special training from Leo.

“…Yes…!”

Arya expressed her resolve and gripped her holy sword.

More than any other time, her Holy Sword was perfectly wrapped around her hand. She could tell because it was Arya Spiel, who had always used her holy sword.

Her own physical condition has now reached her peak.

That’s why she couldn’t back down even more.

“…You have arrived.”

Gladio, who led the troops to the rendezvous point, announced his arrival as if talking to himself.

Chris and Marken, who led the Knights of Execution, also made dark faces when they saw the barracks at the rendezvous point.

From now on, the battle against the demon king will truly begin.

“Are you here?”

Eileen Temperius, who conducted this subjugation, personally came out to greet the Reinhard family.

Not only she, but also the masters of the mage tower appeared one after another from the barracks.

“…Ameri…! Why are you…?!”

There was even Ameri Esp, the Black Tower Master’s agent, on this battlefield. As soon as Rios saw her face, he ran in astonishment.

Ameri was only a wizard who excelled in crafting magical tools, but she was no better than a rookie who never fit on the battlefield.

“…There is a shortage of manpower at the Mage Tower. Besides, I am the manager of the owner of the Magic Tower.”

From noble mtl dot com.

As Ameri is in a public position, she treated Rios with honorifics unlike usual.

“…But it’s dangerous! This place is different from other times…!”

“Rios.”

As Rios spoke in an excited tone, Gladio reminded him of the situation just by calling his name.

No matter how friendly they were, such personal actions and emotions only got in the way.

“Don’t worry. Deputy Ameri Black Tower is in charge of rear support.”

Other mage pagodas, including the blue pagoda, took those basic characteristics into account and woven the shingles.

Ameri, who is well versed in magic tools, divides her role so that she is in charge of support and support using magic tools from behind.

“…Ah, I see…”

Excited, Rios shyly stepped back from his seat. By any chance, if the relationship with Ameri were found out right away, the situation would be difficult, so he bought himself out.

‘…My brother makes dating really difficult.’

Although Ariasviel already knew all about it. For someone who loves Soon-ae, her love skills are not very good, so she naturally turns her head away.

“…Then the whole army has gathered.”

When I went to the barracks, troops from other organizations were also gathered. The characteristics of each organization were distinguished just by looking at them, so you could immediately know which one you belonged to without having to explain.

“…That number of Red Dragon Knights… That’s enough. Do you want to see the liver first?”

The number of troops of the Red Dragon Knights was just enough to send. The number itself was large, but only one or two famous masters and giants were visible.

I can’t sell it, but Marken frowned at the sight of such a complacent intention.

“Hello, the head of the household. Long time no see, warrior. I apologize for being rude at the time.”

Unlike other times, 2nd Prince Regulus Dragonic, who was stationed with the Red Dragon Knights, bowed down to Reinhardt’s party with seriousness.

That greeting and apology would not be mere pretensions.

Originally, he didn’t belong to the Red Dragon Knights, so he probably didn’t have to come to this battlefield.

Nevertheless, the reason he came here was to pay off the debt he had received from Reinhardt.

‘…Of course, I don’t think it will be very helpful.’

Not only Ariaspil, but others gave such a harsh evaluation in their hearts.

Considering that he played a part in the reason for the large number of soldiers, his courage deserved good reviews.

“Nice to meet you. Ariaspil’s warrior. I am Ron Redriven, former captain of the 2nd division of the Red Dragon Knights.”

The commander in charge of ordering the Red Dragon Knights proudly displayed his appearance on the spot.

If other knights saw it, it could be said that it was reassuring, but in the eyes of Reinhardt’s direct descendant, it was close to falling short of the standard.

Anyway, the five-star aura core and the purity of the formed mana would be inferior to Reinhardt’s.

“Thank you very much.”

Arya replied with a formal greeting, and this time she looked towards the temple.

‘…From the Heretic Inquisitor to the Knights of the Temple.’

As if the temple side would spare no support for the warriors and saints, heavyweights gathered as elite soldiers.

As if the imperial family was in charge of the military quantity, and the temple was in charge of the qualitative aspect, Arya’s eyes also saw familiar figures.

As a warrior, I saw a few priests and paladins who I knew or talked to as much as I was in the temple.

“…Ah.”

Among them, there were bad actors that I didn’t want to meet.

“…It’s been a while. Hero, saint.”

The Heretic Questioner Gallowed and Charlian.

The two paladins who were legally beaten by Ariaspil were there.

“…Are you two here too?”

“…If it is to subdue the demon lord, I have an obligation to participate as a Heretic Questioner.”

Arya Spiel didn’t scold with his mouth, but he didn’t hide his annoyed gaze. The fact that their ssaksu was dirty was half-aware even before they disparaged Leo.

“I am sorry about the incident with the Leonardo knight. He was the hero’s favourite, but he must have gone through some unsavory things.”

At first glance, it seemed like he was worried about Leo, but on the other hand, there was a hidden meaning that the hero had left so pathetically even though he was a favorite.

In the first place, their expressions were showing a little bit of a smirk.

The moment Lumine tried to point it out,

“This is a battlefield, not a mourning ground. Please refrain from such words.”

Ariaspil calmly pointed out their mistake on the spot.

At that time, Reinhardt and the others were able to understand Ariasviel’s expression in the first play that Leo had described so much.

“And Leo is not in a position to be sorry for you, nor is it in a position that you deserve to be sorry for.”

I was convinced that the expression of the aria I was making now would be the same as it was then.

“…I understand.”

A cold air flow flowed, but it did not interfere with the battlefield. Galoweed and Sharlian had no intention of rebelling against Arya, the hero, since they had already been beaten.

“…Now then, we will form a hermitage and rush into the enemy camp.”

Starting with those words, the party formed a formation according to the strategy. Already, they are experts in general combat and collective action, and the shape of the ranks has been built quickly and elaborately.

Shortly after taking shape, the corps began to rush into action.

This marked the beginning of the holy war.

“…The holy sword…”

As if resonating with him, Arya’s holy sword trembled.

Not a trivial sensation like fear.

I felt my teeth tremble with anger as if I was waiting for the enemy.

There was a demon king over there.

* * *

“Is it okay?”

[You should try to be okay.]

Unlike other thoughtless answers, the wise man put his will into Ain’s pure question.

Even the sage was actually anxious. There was no chance of Arya Spiel and his party going rout, but they would have to take some losses.

This fight will not end in a short fight. If you’re unlucky, it’ll be a long-term battle in which each other’s blood will dry.

Furthermore, if this side lost Leonardo, it was a bad fight that our side would lose.

[‘Why does it have to be like this now…’]

Now, the little boy’s appearance was temporary, and he could only maintain his shape, and no magic could be used externally.

If Leo could use magic, he could resonate stones in the circle to assist with magic, but Leo couldn’t expect such a pincer attack.

[‘As expected…Even if it disappears…’]

“…Ugh…”

Without time for the sage to be immersed in his thoughts, Leo let out a painful scream with his closed eyes trembling.

“…Father? Even if it’s a nightmare…”

[I can’t do that…]

Right now, Leo must have extended his sleep time and fell into a deep sleep.

That would be the feeling of time being erased, let alone a dream, I wouldn’t have a terrible nightmare that would wake me up like that.

“…Stop… Not…”

But Leo was dreaming.

No, to be precise, the soul received external stimuli while awake.

A crackling sound echoes from its mouth, and its mouth overflows with blood and flesh to satisfy its savage appetite.

It wasn’t like I was eating it, but I could feel it going into my mouth.

[…Where’s Leonardo?!]

At that cry, Leo’s eyes flashed.

“Berserker…!”

There was no sleep. Because up until now, Leo had only experienced a reality that could not be dismissed as a nightmare by closing his eyes.

[…Leo…!]

“Father… how…!”

Both the sage and the deviant were shocked to see Leonardo, but Leonardo ran away regardless.

“…Where is Aria…?”

I couldn’t feel Arya’s presence anywhere. She didn’t even feel the slightest hint of not only Aria, but the rest of the Reinhardt family and Lumine.

“Father calm down…!”

[Calm down…! First explain…]

“…Where are you…!!”

Leonardo’s eyes were full of madness. When they can’t answer Eoyoung, the madness turns into fear.

I was convinced that what I saw in my unconscious was not just a nightmare.

[…Why are you doing this…?! What happened…!]

“I have to go…!”

With that said, Leo slammed the door open and turned his handle. However, his padlock and the exit firmly locked by magic prevented Leo from going out.

“…The berserker ate a man…! The plate gets bigger the more people he eats…!”

Leo’s explanation was mixed with gibberish, as if he had fallen asleep. His emotions were disturbed to the extent that he could not normally communicate clearly at a glance.

[…How did you…? How…]

The wise man could not properly ask how Leo knew that. The answer to this was constructed in my head according to knowledge and wisdom even if I did not want to.

“… First of all, calm down. You don’t even know where it is.”

These two knew, but didn’t intend to tell Leo right away. I just wanted to give Leo a willingness to talk and a perspective to calm down on this condition.

“…I think I know. It’s there.”

It sounds crazy, but Leo can be so sure.

Every time the berserker chews on flesh and bone, the body’s sixth sense points its coordinates in that direction like a compass.

Like a chain that is connected.
