I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist chapter 88

88. left in the past (3)

Georg was confused. If it’s the hero he knows, if he’s Iro, he’s not the kind of person who would commit such an arbitrary act against his comrades. However, at the same time, he was confident that he understood the pope’s words to some extent. Had they persuaded them to go with them, Illroy would have reluctantly listened to them. The exact opposite of what Illroy wanted.

“Damn it.”

Georg clicked his tongue. When dealing with the third plague, the Kraken, Illroy came to share the best plan he came up with with his colleagues. And the result? Georg shook his head.

“You stupid bastard.”

Georg remembered the story the pope had told him. As Illroy went in to face the fog alone, the advice the Pope had given him coldly.

‘Isn’t that saying he didn’t trust us?’

‘It could be. No, I think it’s true that I didn’t trust you guys.’

Georg’s face contorted at the pope’s nonchalant words.

‘A colleague. In a situation where your life is at stake, if you can’t trust the comrades you can trust and entrust your back to, who do you trust? Illroy must have known that… .’

‘It’s as if he said that he trusted the hero completely from the beginning.’

Georg’s face hardened.

‘How much did you trust him when he first became a warrior?’

I didn’t trust the warrior. I always wondered if I could follow what he said. I think it was unavoidable. A guy you’ve never even heard of is a warrior just because he pulled out a sword.

“… That’s what everyone thought. Even Illroy.”

And through that incident, as much as Georg and the other party members couldn’t trust the hero, the hero couldn’t trust his comrades either. This was the karma. The hero, Illroy, showed many times how to resolve the question marks and distrust accumulated in him, but how much did his colleagues solve the doubts that Illroy had?

How much faith did I put in the hero while I was by his side?

Georg gritted his teeth and ran to Illroy’s room. The door burst open, and Daphne and Marianne were sitting in the room with their heads down. Georg looked at them and sighed. Daphne then pointed at the desk with her head still lowered. An envelope was placed on Illroy’s desk. Georg went over and looked at the outside of the envelope.

to Georg.

Seeing those words, Georg opened the envelope with trembling hands. In Illroy’s neat handwriting, the letter contained only the necessary words.

You were the only person I could entrust this letter to. I’m not going to die It’s not because I don’t trust you that I don’t go with you. But the fight against disaster is always uncertain. In the end, I might not be able to come back, so I’m going to tell you some strategies in case of that.

“… How far have you been looking?”

Georg sighed. Illroy ended the letter by saying that you must be aware of this ruse, and do not even think about going into the fog. Georg closed the letter with a sigh. You have to wait. If you blindly go into the fog to find Illroy, you will be betraying his trust.

“To be cunning.”

Georg let out a sigh of relief. I’ll have to talk to you properly when I get back.

“I will wait for Illroy to return.”

At Georg’s words, Daphne and Marianne raised their heads. Georg put the letter in his bosom and looked at his colleagues.

“… Even if you guys go in. I will trust him and wait for him to succeed.”

Daphne said in a cold voice.

“I wanted to help Illroy. I’ve been getting stronger with that thought, but in a critical situation like now, it doesn’t help at all.”

Daphne shook her head and sighed.

“I don’t know, I. I don’t know what to do now.”

Marianne was quiet. It seemed that he was only watching the compass in his hand turn. Georg sighed briefly and left the room, leaving only Daphne and Marianne in Illroy’s room. Marianne’s hand gripped the compass.

Tick. Tick.

What to do. Marianne thought of that while staring at the compass. Marianne stared blankly at the compass until Daphne fell asleep next to her. What is Illroy looking at in the fog? What enemy are you fighting? Marianne swept the compass glass.

“… Warrior.”

No, Illroy. Marianne bit her lip. Illroy is still wandering in the fog at this moment.

The spiderling, that is to say, Aragrid was much stronger than the spider monster I knew. My reaction was quick, but sometimes I trusted my unenhanced body and got hurt while installing it.

Kwagwagwang-!!

Just like now, when he stopped the charge with all his might.

“You are really stupid. Did you really intend to take it head-on in the current state of your body?”

I got up from the sunken wall. A stone ran down my shoulder. Dirt rose from the floor. Blood trickled down his torn forehead, and the air he inhaled was harsh. The spider smiled as it rolled its eyes. I massaged my aching shoulder.

“How are you, are you sick? Does it look real? The blood that runs down you is real, and the pain you go through is real. Do you know what that means?”

Aragrid placed one of his paws over Harvey’s corpse.

“I mean the pain these guys are feeling here is real. Although I don’t know if it’s a lie to you. At least not these adventurers here.”

I raised my eyes and looked at the spider. Exhale. The spider burst into laughter at my changed reaction. moon, moon. The spider moved its legs as if mocking me.

“Becoming a warrior who wants to protect people. It’s funny.”

I bent my neck and exhaled. Leah lying on the floor kept coming into my eyes, but I tried my best to ignore him. If you recall something that is too distant from people’s memories, everyone will feel a sense of incongruity. So, the fog brings out from the head what people fear most, or what they were afraid of. Until one day that person breaks down.

“Aren’t you funny?”

I ignored Aragrid’s words and ran again. The spider greeted me as I charged with a creepy smile on its face. Did he even think I was losing my temper? I kicked and jumped up the walls of the cave, avoiding the spider’s attack.

“Since the Holy Sword doesn’t awaken you, do you have to deal with me so hard?”

Drop the sword as it is. Aragrid snorted and turned around. There is a gap to dig into. I kicked off the ground and started swinging my sword at Aragrid’s body. Aragrid tried to restrict my movement, pulling out webs, and swung his front paws.

“With your poor imagination, strengthening one body seems to be the end.”

Saying that, I evaded Aragrid’s attacks, blocked them, and let them pass. The counterattack was canceled before it was even attempted, and when it was forced to press it with force, it retreated. And, wounds began to form on Aragrid’s body one by one. As my blade finally severed one of his legs, Aragrid laughed and stepped back.

“That’s quite right, warrior.”

It’s not long. I felt that way. There were no more wounds I had suffered, and only Aragrid was bleeding. Well, knowing that this wasn’t the end made me feel very uncomfortable. Aragrid clicked his legs again and moved towards the three fallen to the floor.

“Well, then, how about something like this?”

The spider poked Leah with her leg and picked it up with her hand. Leah slumped helplessly. The spider clicked closer to me, and I looked up at it.

“It gets ugly when you get disadvantaged. At least the giant had a heavy taste. There is no dignity in talking too much.”

When I said it with a laugh, the spider’s face slightly frowned.

“So, what are you saying to me?”

“Cut this woman in my hand. Then I will let you go without saying anything.”

I held the holy sword with both hands. It’s been a long time since I’ve held a holy sword with both hands. it won’t collapse He won’t even move the way he wants. I pointed the tip of my sword at the spider and let out a chuckle and a laugh. Before Aragrid felt anything strange, I cut off all of its limbs and torso. And as Leah fell to the floor, I caught her with both hands.

“… Warrior.”

Leah, covered in blood, laid her hand on me, and I held her hand. Aragrid, who had been cut all over by me, was sprawling on the floor, letting out a grotesque laugh. I looked at the spider and narrowed my eyes. What the mist wanted from me was to finally cut Leah according to his words.

“If you’re going to let it go without saying anything, why don’t you just search for it and disappear right now.”

“yes. Right. As expected, you are weak to the bone, but you are a soft guy.”

What do you think you know about me I laughed. He didn’t even know that he had been hiding his power, aiming only for an instant.

“Other colleagues… .”

Leah, who was in my arms, was about to ask but kept her mouth shut. I looked down at Leah, who was quietly weeping. Most people who are embodied in fog are not fog. It’s more like a sculpted figure of a person in my memory that is closest to reality.

So, it’s not real. Even those dead adventurers, and this scarred Leia too.

I put Leah down. Leia walked toward her already dead comrades and fell to her knees and wept. I stood by and waited until she let out all her tears. I started to get out of the cave with Leah. Suddenly, Leah, who was walking beside me, disappears. I looked at the empty seat next to me for a while and muttered.

“The spider is fed up.”

Light engulfed the edge of the cave. I couldn’t see what was out there at all.

“Get another one, now.”

What will come next? hearing? Or, my first launch ceremony? I caught my breath. The wind rushed in towards the entrance of the narrow anthill. The wind carried the smell of salt and water. Even without opening my eyes, I could see what the fog was showing me.

“… damn it.”

Don’t tell me to come up with something else with confidence.

I walked down out of the cave and saw people busily wandering around. It was as if they were preparing for a large-scale naval battle. The soldiers were busy carrying their weapons or supplies, and explosives and shells were being carried on carts.

“Hey! Don’t put that on there!”

“Bring more rope! Everything in the boat must be tied up!”

I don’t know that conversation. This is probably a fragment of the memory in the head of the owner of this body, Illroy. The sky was gloomy as always, and the weather was warm for the middle of spring. Then, I took a breath while looking at the panoramic view of the port city, which was completely different from my memory.

Bakhtins, not ruins.

A place full of the fishy smell of fish, where rough-faced sailors roam around busily. I looked around with a blank expression. Maybe one of the reasons I came here.

“Come on. Don’t keep standing still.”

And a voice was heard. I turned my head, and there were other faces I knew.

The cold-faced saintess, Isis. The expressionless mercenary, Arjen, the wizard with one corner of his mouth raised, Nella, and even Georg with a large shield on his back. I looked at Illroy’s old teammates. And Isis opened her mouth again with a hard voice.

“Han’s time is urgent. The Kraken is still coming here, to Baktins.”
