87 – 87 – Young (3).
” Hero, I am casting a magic spell right now, but you must never be at ease. “
” Yes. “
“I have said this many times, but if you hear a voice cursing you, you must speak up immediately. “
” Yes, I understand.. “
The spirit was originally given the goddess’ blessing by a priest every morning before starting the day.
From the day I belatedly told him that I could hear his voice, the magic spell was added.
Even today, Young is listening to the priest’s instructions along with his magic.
Stop!!…
As the priest finished chanting, his voice became faint.
‘ … See you later. ‘
Even if I receive the priest’s magic and become unable to hear.
Because I heard his voice again at night.
With the meaning of meeting again then, before his voice disappears.
I always said goodbye to myself in my mind.
Of course, there will be no answer.
I want to alleviate some of the disappointment of not being able to hear his voice.
Just as the priest casts magic on her, she does not miss a single day.
She was saying hello to him.
” Hero, is it really true that one breakfast is enough? We can keep walking at any time. “
” It’s okay, just go ahead and go. “I want to defeat the devil quickly.”
” … “
The priest who raised his voice and became very angry that day later returned to his usual calm self.
When casting the magic spell, he had a frozen expression on his face.
Due to her rigid attitude, I asked her several times every day.
Even though magic is cast regularly and frequently every morning.
The priest tried to cast more of her magic on her every time she tried like she did now.
I don’t know if it’s because the spirit has never personally asked me to cast a spell.
From Young’s perspective, an unknown discomfort arose every time he received his magic.
I kept refusing, saying it was okay and I should not delay going to subdue the Demon King.
Every time I refused, the priest somehow seemed more clingy and suspicious.
There was no reason to force Young, who was a warrior, to do something he disliked.
She was qualified as a warrior under the protection of her goddess, so not even the emperor of the empire could treat her carelessly.
She had heard that in the past she had mistreated the summoned warriors, but she would not be able to force her to do anything unless she made an unexpected move that was too spirit-intensive for the goddess to severely punish her now.
After being summoned to Isania as a warrior.
All she could think about was that she had to defeat the Demon King as soon as possible and quickly return to Earth.
But after crossing the border of the empire and entering the land of death.
To be precise, since I heard his voice.
I started thinking differently.
‘I hope night comes quickly..’
It wasn’t long since the sun rose yet, and I was hoping it would get dark sooner.
It is difficult to agree with the term curse.
I think we can agree on the word deceptive.
I can’t even have a conversation.
Why do I want to keep hearing his voice?
It’s just crying, pleading, and pain.
When I listen to it, I feel like my heart will sink and tears will come out without me realizing it.
Why do I want to keep listening to it?
Yeong could not find the reason.
Returning to Earth immediately is more important than anything else.
While we are subduing the Demon King, perhaps we can save him?
I thought.
Young thought that the owner of the voice could not be the vengeful spirit of the dead.
If the person is dead.
There is no way I can tell you to stop killing me or to get rid of me.
Then what on earth is his identity?
Listen to his voice every night.
I tried to make some inferences.
I couldn’t get the slightest sense.
‘Who are you? ‘
If you listen to his voice a little more tonight.
Maybe we can get some clues.
Thinking like that.
Today, the spirit continued to walk through the empty land of death.
.
.
.
Find out who he is.
I wonder if there is a way to help him.
Such a small wish of the spirit.
In the end, it seemed impossible to achieve.
Because today.
” We have finally arrived. Hero. “
” Yes.. “
This is because we have arrived at the entrance to the Elven Forest where the Demon King is.
Surprisingly enough, the Elven Forest.
Is it because it is a place influenced by the World Tree?
Unlike a dead land with nothing, it showed the appearance of a forest full of trees.
Looking at the forest, Young thought.
‘ In the end, I didn’t find out anything.. ‘
It was very bitter.
Even as the day of decisive battle approached, he was the first person in this world whom he felt he wanted to save.
Because he couldn’t find the slightest clue as to how to help.
And today.
Don’t come close to me–..
When the priest cast a magic spell before entering the forest.
His voice was fading, because today it somehow sounded like he was speaking to himself.
His heart sank.
‘You can’t do this. ‘
Party!
To come to his senses, Young slapped his cheeks a little hard with both hands and shook his head.
We must now focus on defeating the demon lord in front of us.
Seeing that, the priest next to him was startled and asked.
” Hero? Are you feeling unwell in some way? “
” No, I was just trying to drive away other thoughts, so don’t worry. “
” Hero… We feel very uncomfortable and sorry for entrusting such a big task to someone from another world. I will help you as much as I can, so please help the devil lord breathe… No, eliminate his existence. “
” Yes.. “
It seemed that Young misunderstood that the priest was afraid of a decisive battle with the Demon King, but he did not think there was a need to explain or explain, so he answered simply.
‘I’m sorry..’
Even now, I still felt like I wanted to save him.
The most important thing was to return to Earth.
Young decided to apologize to him in his heart and prepare for a decisive battle.
After seeing her like that, he gave orders to the knights and priests of the church.
” We will rush into the forest! Get in line. “
” Yes, saint! “
He is called a priest by spirits.
By his order he is called a saint by the people of the church.
The advance team took the lead and entered the forest.
Afterwards, the moment when Young and the rest of the people were about to follow him in.
I told you not to come! –
Suddenly a shout was heard from deep inside the forest.
“ This voice could not be!? ”
It was a very familiar voice.
From Noble mtl dot com
A voice I heard just a moment ago.
In response to her panic, her priest shouted loudly and said,
” Hero, don’t listen! This sound is heard because the devil is getting closer! “
” Can you hear me too, priest? “
” Yes! We’re closer this time, so it looks like the magic spell won’t help! “
” Do you really know who the owner of the voice is? “
” It must be the devil! He was trying to deceive the hero by pretending to be pitiful, so I cast a spell so he wouldn’t hear. “
” The devil!? That can’t be possible..”
” Hero! The advance team has already arrived. You must hurry and follow along! “
Even though the saint urged him on from the side.
Young could not move because her body became frozen.
I couldn’t believe it, but he was really the devil.
” Don’t you want to return to the original world!? “
” Ah. “
Yes, we have to return to Earth.
The moment she heard the priest’s words and was about to take her steps again.
Please leave me alone! –
Because I heard his voice again.
Young had no choice but to stop her steps again.
The owner of the voice that was in such pain.
I am asking you not to approach me at this very moment.
Is this really the entity that wants to destroy this world?
Then why is he hiding alone in the forest in the eastern end of the country without a single subordinate?
” Hero, you must not hesitate! The devil is an evil man who wants to destroy the world! “
The saint shouted loudly at the confused spirit, but her feet still did not fall.
In response to her response, the priest gave up on her and decided to focus on subduing her demon lord for now.
” Hey!! Anyway, this is enough power to defeat the Demon King. For now, let’s leave the finishing touches to the hero! All remaining people! Join the advance team!! “
Anyway, if only the final blow is done with her help, the Demon King will disappear.
First, he led the priests to fight the Demon King, and although he was a little late, he tried to rush into the forest following the Holy Knights.
However.
Aaagh! Save me!!
Wrong! Aaaaah!!!!
Not the devil’s voice, but the screams of others.
The screaming screams of the Paladins, who are braver than anyone else.
Because it echoed from inside the forest.
The priests’ steps also had no choice but to stop.
” Saint! Didn’t the entire advance team suffer!? “
” There are two Auror Masters alone. Stop talking nonsense and let’s get started! “
One priest who was frightened asked the saint.
The saint flatly denied this and gave orders to the rest of her personnel again.
However.
Who said the Demon King was weak!! Aaaaa!!
Everyone run away!! You can never beat this!!! Wow!!
” Hey Iik!! “
Because of the sounds I keep hearing from the forest.
No one could take a step.
” Don’t be fooled by the devil!!.. “
The leading saint was also taking a step back little by little.
And as some time passed.
…..
No sound was heard from the forest.
Not only did the sounds of fighting stop, even the screaming that had continued to be heard stopped.
Because this pointed to one clear fact.
“ Do, run away!!!! ”
” Aaaaah!!! “
All the panicked personnel began to run away.
” Everyone, calm down!! “The warrior is here…”
For the saint to calm down the fleeing people.
Pointing to a spirit standing still.
I tried to cheer up my courage somehow.
Phew!..
” Wow!! “
Suddenly, the center of his body was pierced by a sphere of darkness that flew from behind, and he died.
With him.
Don’t come in… Don’t come close…
A man’s voice was heard again from the forest.
” The saint suffered!! Everyone run away!! Wow! “
” This world will be destroyed! “
” I don’t want to die! Help me! “
This time, all the personnel who completely lost their will to fight ran away.
The saint standing near the entrance to the forest has a range that the Demon King can attack.
Is it even where the cold corpse was standing?
Young standing a few steps away.
The attack was not directed at those running away.
After everyone died or ran away.
At the entrance to the forest, the spirit stood alone.
” … “
Young’s gaze was fixed on the saint lying at his feet.
From the day he was summoned to Isania, he has been by his side and taught him many things.
The man who was called a saint who practiced asceticism was pierced and became a cold corpse.
I didn’t feel sad at all.
I was rather angry.
” Ha!.. “
Because he died.
This is because the blessing or magic that had been placed on him has completely disappeared.
And.
“ You damn bastard.. What have you done to me all these years? ”
This is because he realized that he had been deceived all along.
