Chapter 43 – Shh! The monster will wake up~♡
Chapter 43
“Pleasure?”
“Yes.”
“That pleasure?”
“…What are you thinking, hero?”
“…Yes?”
Isn’t it?
The saintess looked at me quietly, then she smiled and the corners of her eyes curved.
“This pervert~♡ Thinking is insidious♡”
“…Hmm.”
…I have nothing to say.
“…So you mean all the fun?”
“Yes, that includes wholesome fun.”
Then it means that it is a sword that can be either a demon sword or a holy sword depending on the user’s personality.
“That’s why there is no penalty for killing people with the holy sword of joy. There are people who take pleasure in killing the same person.”
…That’s just crazy.
“…Are you saying the hero of Levius is that kind of person?”
“I’m not saying that the hero of Levius is like that. I just explained why a hero with the holy sword of joy can kill people.”
Still, saying something like this is probably telling you to be careful. Especially since he said he didn’t even treat commoners as human beings.
You can kill a commoner and then say ‘I didn’t kill anyone’, right?
From noble mtl dot com.
…When you think about it like this, you really look like a bit of a madman.
“Once you find the saintess of the Church of Ludria, take her to the Kingdom of Vesta.”
“Shouldn’t we find him first?”
“No. It’s good to look for the saintess as we go, but that doesn’t mean we stray from our path. Like I said, I don’t have that much time.”
“Umm…”
“And anyway, the place where the saintess disappeared is the Kingdom of Vesta.”
“…Ah, is that so?”
Then I’ll have to go soon.
The saintess tilted her head slightly and asked.
“Are you bothered by that saintess?”
“People have disappeared. Isn’t that obvious?”
“…Huhuh♡ That’s what the hero thinks.”
Why, what’s the problem?
“Is it too remote?”
“No~♡ It’s just that the hero is admirable.”
“…What did I do?”
It’s normal to think that a person has disappeared, but it’s only natural that you care about that.
“There are so many people who can’t do that obvious thing.”
…Not wrong.
“Then you go straight to the border?”
“Yes, it should. If you walk about a week from Athens, it will be the border area.”
“Didn’t you just say it would take a week for the curriculum?”
“Is hair really a decoration?♡ That’s of course based on a wagon~♡ We’re going to walk along with the warrior training as well. You have to walk hard for two weeks until the regular report meeting~♡”
“…Yes.”
…Once again, trouble begins.

Tadak, tadak.
It was a night when a bonfire was burning, scattering small embers around it.
“…Saint.”
“Yes~♡”
“What are you trying to do with this!?”
“Shh~! The monster will wake up~♡”
And the bonfire was not made by us. The owners of the bonfire are giants much taller than me, who are spreading around me trying to sleep. However, its size was much smaller than that of an ogre, and slightly larger than that of an orc.
The name of these monsters is Goliath. It was a large mid-level monster with skin as hard as stone. They are said to be stronger than Orcs.
What surprised me a little was that it looked the most human-like among giant monsters such as ogres, orcs, and trolls. Except for his extremely hard, grayish skin, he looked like someone who would mistake him for just a really big guy.
The saintess explained that it was clearly a monster, and that it was the type that caused a lot of damage to humans.
So what are we doing?
“Now, warrior ♡ Now that I’m going to wake up those demons, you just have to defeat them~ ♡”
Monster hunting in this dark night…
She asked why he did it at night, but the saintess answered that Goliath is blind at night. He said that this time he would try to fight using the monster’s weakness.
That was the good part for me, but the number of Goliaths was a bit high. That’s four marinas…
“Then I’ll be back~♡”
The saintess walked slowly with quiet steps and took out something of her own.
That’s…A bucket and a stick?
The saintess held the stick high, and she struck it down with the bucket.
Kang! Caang! Kang! Kkang kkang kkang! Kang!! Caang!!!
…Crazy b*tch.
Yes. The saintess was making a loud noise by hitting the bucket. She doesn’t play any kind of gong, but she also plays it excitedly.
At first, the Goliaths tried to ignore the sound and went to sleep, then woke up screaming.
“What kind of crazy bastard is sleeping and making noise!?”
I was forced to wake up.
“Aha♡ I finally woke up, I’m bored♡”
As the saintess giggled at her goliaths, her goliaths looked at the saintess with a little bewildered eyes.
“…This sound… Is that what you did?”
“Do you have to ask to know that? You’re stupid ♡ stone head ♡”
“…What a crazy b*tch!”
He was originally a bit crazy.
The Goliaths began chasing her saintess, rampaging her path with huge double-edged axes. The saintess laughed and ran away.
…It looks like the deceased is playing with the newbies.
The saintess escaped Goliath’s sight before she knew it and hid herself among her bushes. Is it my turn now
The Goliaths were looking around and getting angry.
“Where did that crazy b*tch run away!?”
Goliath was said to have poor eyesight at night. Now that we have left the bonfire, a surprise attack should be possible as long as we don’t make a loud noise.
I set the holy sword at an angle and ran away. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the Goliaths were startled and looked around.
“That b*tch!?”
“No! Footsteps are a little louder! You’re a different human!”
“I don’t know where it comes from! Let’s go back to the campfire…”
Suddenly!
“Keah!”
“Mordog!!!”
No matter how hard the skin was, it was meaningless in front of the holy sword. If a monster is your opponent, it’s sharper than any sword.
“It’s a prosecutor! There is a prosecutor!”
Goliaths seem to have high intelligence, and as soon as they saw the wounds of their comrades, they realized that the enemy was using a sword. Those things are better than monsters like ogres and trolls.
But finding that out didn’t make their night vision better. The Goliaths hurriedly tried to return near the campfire.
“I won’t let you do that.”
Once again, he kicked off the ground and ran out, slashing the ankle of a Goliath. Goliath’s huge body tilted as blood splattered.
“Keugh! Bar, ankle…!”
“Morgog!!!”
…Didn’t you just say that you didn’t even know his name?
“Go back to the campfire first! Everyone dies like this!”
“Oh, I got it!”
The two remaining Goliaths got close to the campfire. If that’s the case, the two will just have to deal with each other.
Let’s finish this one first before dealing with them.
I picked up the holy sword and stabbed Goliath’s neck. Then Goliath stopped breathing with a groan.
…How do they do it?
The saintess definitely told me to fight using her weakness. But if you stand near a campfire like that, can you take advantage of the weakness of being blind at night?
It’s so bright around the campfire…
“……Ah.”
I think I know what to do.

With Morgog and Mordogg dead, the two remaining Goliaths were paying attention, their axes not in their hands.
He was a skilled man who killed two colleagues in an instant. It was not easy to relax because it was near a bonfire with a good view.
“Mormog! Where did the enemy go?”
“I don’t know. I can’t hear footsteps, so I’m guessing they’re either not moving or walking very slowly…”
“…Mormog! Look behind you!”
Mormog glanced back. Then, a white and sharp greatsword came right in front of me.
Hook!
“Kwaaah!”
Shallow, but obviously stabbed in his right eye, Mormog hurriedly swung his axe, but the swordsman who stabbed his eye moved his sword to the right as it was, tearing Mormogg’s eye out and running away.
“Keuuugh! Morzog! Where are the enemies…!”
“Mo, Mormog…That’s…”
Morzog had a troubled voice. The enemy showed up, but Mormog, who didn’t know why he didn’t tell me the location, shouted.
“Say it quickly!”
“…Not visible.”
“What!?”
“The enemy hides in the darkness!”
Mor Mog surveyed the surroundings with his remaining left eye. True to Morzog’s words, he had no enemies around. At least where the light of a campfire can reach.
“…What, what is this…”
Mormog realized. Now they are being used by the light of the bonfire. The opponent jumped out of the darkness where light couldn’t reach, attacked him, and fled into the darkness.
Other races would have been able to deal with it, but Goliaths, whose eyesight was particularly dark at night, had no way to cope.
To the Goliaths, this situation was nothing short of a horror game. A horror game in which lives are threatened.
“…Morzog! Watch out in the dark! You never know when and where it will pop out!”
“Oh, I got it!”
Mor Mogg blocked the blood from his right eye with his hand and looked around with his remaining eye. However, Goliath’s night vision is far behind that of humans. When he looked into the darkness with those eyes, he couldn’t see anything.
Basrak.
“There it is!”
“Morzog! Crawl…!”
A rustling sound made Morzog run away with an axe. However, Morzog came close to the darkness and was pierced through his side by a sword that protruded from the darkness.
“MORZOG!!!”
Mormogg ran furiously at the man who had pierced his side, but the man immediately drew his sword and disappeared into the darkness again.
“…This, such nonsense…!”
The three of my colleagues collapsed without being able to resist properly. Sensing his adversary’s cleverness, Mor Mogg peered fearfully into the thick darkness.
However, looking into the darkness did not yield any answers. Only the fearful heart blooms little by little.
“…Even, you have to run away.”
Mormog made that decision. His Goliath size is big. That’s how wide the stride is. If you make up your mind and run away, it won’t be easy to catch up at human speed.
But how do you get through that darkness? This place is in the forest. It wasn’t the solid road that humans had polished. It was crazy to walk down that road when there might be something ahead.
“…Damn it…What should I do…”
It was then. There was the sound of something cutting through the wind. Mormog swung his axe frantically, and something hit hard.
“…Stone…?”
The only thing the ax hit was a single pebble. Mormog thought about this for a long time, then he quickly turned around. And what he faced again was a pure white holy sword.
Pu-wook!!!
This time, the holy sword properly penetrated Mormog’s head. His blood dripped down his white blade. As soon as he pulled out the holy sword, the last Goliath fell helplessly to the floor.
“…Whew.”
Abel, the man who wiped the sweat from his head, raised his holy sword high and waved it.
“It is finished, saintess!”
Estelle laughed inwardly at that cute sight, and she approached Abel.
“Really~♡ You are too slow. You almost fell asleep because you were bored~♡ As expected, you are still a sucker♡”
“…What the hell do I have to catch so I don’t become a crap.”
“Um~♡ You should be able to catch ogres without a blessing~?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Abel asked with a look on his face if that was the case. Estelle said to Abel.
“Hero Elfriede can subdue even a wyvern without a blessing.”
“…A wyvern?”
Wyvern. A reptile monster resembling a dragon. It is a monster commonly referred to as a ‘flying dragon’, but unlike a dragon, it has no front legs and is much smaller than a dragon.
Still, what was created was a dragon, a monster that boasted the highest level of strength among advanced monsters.
As Estelle explained, Abel thought to himself.
‘It’s no different from the wyvern I know.’
“How strong is a wyvern then an ogre?”
“Ogres are average among advanced monsters. Wyvern is the best. Can you get a feel for how strong it will be?”
“…I can’t imagine more.”
Estelle giggled at Abel’s answer.
“If our foolish warrior can explain it in an easy-to-understand manner~♡”
“…Yes.”
“You would need four ogres to equal a wyvern.”
Abel looked slightly surprised. Estelle naturally smiled at that innocent reaction.
‘Ah, it’s cute&’
It was so cute like a child learning something for the first time. Estelle leaned over to Abel and she whispered.
“Still, I think you’ve gone beyond the level of X food, warrior♡”
