Chapter 92 – Abel! Far away!!
Chapter 90
“Krarak! Human!”
“Chwiik! Kill it, tear it apart!!”
…It’s crowded. Is that the gathering of the remaining forces?
We are now in front of the border, at the foot of the mountain where they were gathered. In order to minimize damage to the border line and furthermore to avoid damage to private houses. In war, the side on the high ground always has an advantage, but this isn’t a human-to-human war…
“Fal sword!!!”
A lot of metal scraping sounds were heard and the paladins drew their swords. And they blessed themselves.
《 Grace of Solaria 》
《 Solaria’s Blessing 》
“While the hero is dealing with high-risk monsters, we must take care of preventing other monsters from approaching the hero! Did you understand!”
“”Yes!!””
“For those who are brave, the grace of Solaria will light the way! Never back down!”
“”Solaria, bless us!””
…That sounds like a pseudo-religious group.
The paladins shouted and advanced with the soldiers, and finally the monsters, paladins, and soldiers clashed.
“By the way, high-risk monsters…”
“There’s one over there.”
Looking in the direction Estelle pointed, there was a guy who looked like a high-risk monster. Overall, it was standing on two feet like a human wearing hard blue armor like the upper of an insect.
Are you a knight type again?
“Where is one?”
“…Well, I don’t think he showed up yet.”
“Um…”
Well…You can catch the one you can see first.
“I’ll be back.”
“Be careful. Stay alert.”
“Yes.”
I left Estelle and Celine behind and spurred on the ground and ran. Since I can’t see one, I’ll assume he’s hiding and fight.
“Kraak! Die, bug-like human beings!!!”
Let’s start by killing this big troll in front of us. The road is also blocked along the way, and if left as it is, the damage to the soldiers could be severe.
Befitting the name Ice Troll, it has blue skin and sharp ice shards attached to its club. Given that it doesn’t break even when you swing it, isn’t it normal ice?
The body strengthened by the divine protection was able to display physical abilities that were on a different level than when Celine had previously blessed them. It was to the extent that the ice troll wielding the club didn’t even notice that I was approaching from behind.
Hook! Chew!!
“Kkeok….”
I stabbed him through the heart and slid his sword through the troll’s body. Then the soldier who was almost killed by the club looked at me with awe.
I gave him a slight nod of the head, and immediately ran to the next target. As we proceeded to cut down the monsters like that, there was a reaction from the other side as well. It’s about time you knew I was targeting you.
“…For the queen’s…Revenge.”
#
Abel held her holy sword low. The monster is a knight type. Rating is at least Leviathan, at most Barbatos. The reason she inferred that she wasn’t Amon-class or higher was that the monster next to the queen was Amon-class, so she didn’t assume that there would be another one.
Maybe that’s why Abel was confident. With Estelle’s blessing, she felt like she could slice through her opponent, whether it be Leviathan or Barbatos. But Abel didn’t catch her off guard and she rushed forward.
“Kara La Rock!!!”
The monster let out a roar and took out its weapon, a large battle axe.
Chaeeng!
The two men’s weapons collided with sparks. Abel was a little surprised. Hitting her attack was no different from the monster following the speed of Abel, who was strengthened by divine protection.
‘At least Barbatos class.’
If it was a Leviathan class, there was no way it would be blocked. It was because Abel was so fast that he couldn’t compare to the time he received Celine’s blessing.
Thinking that her stamina would reach its limit even if she was receiving the power of the Barbatos-class monster from the front, Abel quickly got out of her seat.
Quaang!!
As Abel drew her sword and threw her off balance, her ax struck the poor ground. Thanks to this, the dust rose, but the sharp senses of the monsters caught Abel’s movements even between the fields of vision covered by the dust.
Chaeing, a loud metallic sound resounded once again. Abel tried to get out again, but she reached out with her other hand while the monster held her battle ax in one hand.
Abel saw her move and she acted differently this time. She didn’t just throw her body out, she hit the monster’s paw with her leg.
f*ck!!
Originally, it would be crazy to strike this hard armor with your bare body, but the body strengthened by divine protection distorted even that hard armor. Thanks to that, the monster’s balance was slightly off, and Abel took her body out and ran again.
“Human…!”
The monster cried lowly and ran, dragging the battle ax on the floor. Although it caught up with the speed, it was still slightly slower than Abel who had received the blessing.
When Abel swung her holy sword, turning her direction sharply, the monster reacted slightly late and her blood splattered.
It wasn’t a fatal injury because it wasn’t an attack aimed at a vital point, but the monster was enraged just by the fact that it had shed blood.
“Kraaa!!!”
Abel did not rest. The monster rushed at Abel who jumped up again and swung his battle axe, but he evaded the attack with a faster movement than the monster and ran to counterattack.
“Don’t climb, human!!!”
A monster that accurately swung its battle ax at Abel, who was running towards him. The route was accurate and the timing was accurate as expected. However, there was an element that the monster did not consider.
Abel draws something in the air with her hand that is not holding her holy sword.
The text drawn is “防” (Room to block).
At the moment the ax flew, a transparent membrane appeared over Abel’s head.
Kaang!!!
Of course, you can’t block the attacks of Barbatos-class monsters with only low-level magic spells. It was fine though. I didn’t even want to block it completely from the beginning.
A little more than one second was created when the shield blocked the monster’s attack. Abel did not miss that short gap. He pierced the upper blade of the pure white holy sword, the blade that changed like sawtooth, into the chest of a Barbatos-class monster.
“You said you were noisy earlier.”
Abel cut the holy sword horizontally, and the saw blade of the sword ripped all of Barbatos’ skin, tearing the wound wide open. It was fatal. The monster’s hard armor was of no use in front of the power of the holy sword, and the chest was opened as it was.
“…Human…Human…”
“Stop dying.”
Abel finally inserted the holy sword into the heart of the Barbatos-class monster, and the monster grabbed hold of Abel with one hand as blood poured out.
“!”
“…Caught…Caught.”
The battle ax was raised high, and the monster struck the final blow.
“…Annoying to the end.”
However, the demon’s wish did not come true. Abel quickly drew her holy sword and, holding her sword with her right hand, swung her sword in a circle around her. Then, the arm of the monster that was striking the battle ax snapped and split.
With a thump, the arm and battle ax fell off. The light flickered in the monster’s small eyes, then completely turned off.
Abel, the hero who subdued the Barbatos-class monster, exhaled while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“Whoa.”
#
“Hero!”
Seeing that Abel almost perfectly subdued a Barbatos-class monster in Ilto, Celine was very happy.
She honestly thought it was really dangerous at the end, but Abel quickly responded as if he didn’t let go of her tension until the end.
“…As expected, I can do it alone.”
Estelle nodded her head as if she expected it. But there was still tension in Estelle’s eyes.
“Why are you like this, saintess?”
“You haven’t seen one yet. Where did you go…”
“Hmm, that’s right. In the yard where one command object was hit… It’s normal for the remaining one to show up.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Just when Estelle and Celine thought it was strange, the surroundings suddenly turned dark.
“…?”
At that time, a paladin shouted.
“Captain! What is that?”
“What?”
“That one! To the sky!”
It was the sound of calling for Captain Elwyn, but Estelle and Celine heard it too and looked up at the sky he was pointing at. And the expression of the two people who confirmed the appearance of it hardened in an instant.
Something large was floating in the blue sky. It was something in the shape of a sphere, large enough to cover the entire body from the glaring sunlight.
“That is…”
“…Was it a floating monster? Wait, the rating is…”
The size was enormous. It was enough to block the sunlight and cast a shadow on the ground, so I could tell that it was enormous even without measuring its size precisely.
“…Amon class?”
Then something started to happen on the surface of the sphere. And everyone who saw it was shocked.
It was a big pupil. Something twinkled in those huge, terrifyingly human-like pupils. Seeing that, only Estelle noticed something and shouted.
“Avoid immediately! Celine, come here!”
“Yes?”
《 Sacred Shield 》
Estelle made a large shield out of her spell and shouted at Abel.
“Abel! Stay away!!!”
“Yes?”
She nodded her head and left her seat, though Abel didn’t understand her reason. And at that moment, something sparkling gathered in front of the eyes of the spherical monster with only its pupils stuck in it became a large beam of light.
Quaaa!!!

“Cool!”
…f*ck, what the hell is that?
Estelle told me to avoid her seat, so I avoided her seat, and she swept the front, including the place where I was, with a laser-like white beam that would appear often in science fiction.
The vegetation was all burnt away, and the ground was scorched. The corpses of the Barbatos-class monsters I killed and those scattered on the ground all disappeared as if they had evaporated. As if everything was not in its place.
…Wait, Estelle. Celine.
“Estel, Celine!!!”
It was difficult to see far away because of the black smoke from the burning vegetation. So I called them by name, but there was no answer.
f*ck, no…God, please.
I grabbed the Holy Sword and hurried forward. Sabaton melted little by little from the heat left on the ground, and his feet stuck to the ground. But I ran and shouted without hesitation.
“Estel!!! Celine!!! Please answer me if you have!!”
Maybe it was only then that I heard my cry, but this time, fortunately, there was an answer.
“…Collock! We’re fine…”
“Celine!?”
I headed in the direction the voice came from. There, Estelle and Celine stood on a very small piece of unburnt ground.
Ha, Goddess Solaria. Thank you
I approached them gladly.
“Estel! Celine! I’m glad you’re okay!”
“…It’s hot, Abel. Don’t come closer.”
“Ah.”
The armor was hot with just the heat. I must have gotten the heat from passing over this scorched earth.
Estelle glanced at me and nodded her head.
“I’m glad. It doesn’t look like you’re hurt.”
“Yes, I am fine…Are you two fine?”
“I am also fine because the saintess is protecting me. The problem is….”
Selene definitely looked at the place where the Holy Knights and soldiers were. She moved her gaze to follow Celine, but there was really nothing there.
“Where is everything…”
“I’m dead.”
“Yes?”
“The attack range was too wide. Not everyone is as fast as the hero. This is too devastating damage.”
…Huh?…They’re all dead? All those paladins?
“The paladins are all dead?”
“Well…A few people might have been lucky. But it’s fair to say that most of them are dead. Because that monster was targeting the soldiers in the first place.”
Estelle answered firmly and looked at me. When did you see She looked at me with the most serious look she had ever seen before, and she opened her mouth.
“Abel.”
“…Yes?”
“You and we have to do it.”
Estel pointed at that big, disgusting spherical monster and said.
“That is an Agares-class floating monster. If we don’t subdue them here, the Apollo kingdom will turn into a sea of fire like this place.”
