57 – Narundra (4)
Soon after, Reina revealed that she would set up a barrier to prevent demons from entering the inn.
While they were working, Maru went to the room and got the equipment.
“It’s good that you brought what Lloris gave you.”
50 each of Healing Potion, Mana Potion, and Rejuvenation Potion.
I have no use for mana potions, so I’ll give them to Lucina.
I only took healing potions and rejuvenation potions.
Then he took the one-handed ax from the weapon case.
“Are you inside?”
A knock was heard and Audrit entered immediately.
Wearing light armor rather than a dress, with her hair tied in a ponytail rather than braiding as usual, her appearance was quite fresh.
No matter what she wore, she looked good and was beautiful.
Maru looked at the ax in her hand and she smiled.
“How about that axe? it’s okay?”
“Yes. light and good I am writing well.”
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have given you something better.”
“This is enough.”
Maru hung an ax on his back.
Then he approached Audrit, who looked somewhat uneasy, and hugged her.
I could feel her burying her face in relief.
“Audrey. The situation is hellish, but thanks to you, I am energized. I’m glad we’re together.”
“me too. If I had been alone, I would have been scared and would have just cried.”
“You must have overcome it well because you are a courageous and strong person. Anyway, I had a lot of trouble on the way to the accommodation. Thank you for not getting hurt.”
“You suffered more.”
When Maru gently stroked her head, Audrit closed her eyes with a more comfortable expression with a light smile.
“… After all, I couldn’t go shopping.”
“I was looking forward to it, but it’s a pity. It was a chance to try on my wife in erotic underwear.”
She laughs at Maru’s joke.
“I’ll wear it later, so don’t be sorry.”
While we were comforting each other like that, we were staying in the room when suddenly an alarm sounded outside the window.
Maru and Audrit immediately left the room and went to the people.
“The alarm sounding outside right now is a signal that Illuna will be activated soon.”
Reina confidently told everyone.
“Don’t panic if waves like blue waves pass through your body. No harm to human body. It is a force of nature that only destroys demons.”
But why?
The guests expected the Iluna to be activated with high expectations, but there was no news until 30 minutes after the alarm sounded.
Only demons outside the dorm were piling up.
Hundreds of demons couldn’t enter because of the barrier, and they were making a fuss while surrounding the building layer by layer.
“a! It is wrong to trust elves!”
The dwarf with a long beard threw a cup and got angry.
“It looks like they’re all going to die!”
There was even an attempt by a banshee outside the window to shake the mind of one of the guests inside and break the barrier device.
Fortunately, Reina spotted it in advance and took immediate action.
Even then, there was no sign of Iluna being activated, and for the first time, worry appeared on her face.
“I can’t do this… It seems that the altar where Iluna is located was attacked.”
Then it is.
I knew it wouldn’t be easy.
Maru opened the lid of the rejuvenation potion in his pocket and drank it all the way.
Get ready to fight the devil.
***
At the same time, the tree root altar.
Demon King Insulei was in the process of destroying Iluna and slaughtering the elves who managed it.
When it was sorted out to some extent, he said to Laura, who was with him.
“I will go to the temple and suppress the power of the Earth Mother. You go to Azra and tell her to protect this place from being reclaimed by the elves.”
“All right. I will tell Azra that.”
Laura left immediately.
***
“More demons are out there! Try something!”
The guests were terrified and were clamoring.
Not surprisingly, the demons clung to the outer wall of the building in droves.
The number was almost unfathomable.
While looking into the interior, he was looking for an opportunity, but he could not destroy the building or enter because of the barrier.
“Everyone calm down. We will deal with the demons outside.”
Reina called her subordinates and set something up in front of everyone.
A round blue orb was placed on a metal pedestal and three male and female elves breathed magic into the sphere.
The sphere that absorbed mana began to emit light gradually.
“This is a farming tool used to drive out a swarm of locusts called Lemeun. At first, it was developed for agricultural use, but as its use gradually expanded to military use, it was also used to drive away monsters. From now on, I will use Lemyun to blow away the demons gathered around the building up to 10km away.”
Maru was curious about Lemyun, so he went closer and watched it carefully.
‘Elves have everything.’
Eventually, he filled up his magic power.
The moment the elves hurried to activate Lemyun, an earthquake suddenly occurred.
It was caused by a giant one-eyed monster hitting the floor with a club outside the building.
“Keep rocking! Everyone is stuck to the wall!”
“The bookshelf over there is collapsing! Be careful!”
Unable to overcome the vibration, Lemoon, which had been placed on a pedestal, fell to the floor and rolled.
Then, it stopped abruptly, and suddenly it operated on its own, sending beams of light toward the floor.
“Le, Lemeun worked! Come on, stop!”
Reina hurriedly shouted, but Maru, hit by an unknown beam of light, pierced the wall and flew far away before he could even open his mouth.
Startled, Audrit covered her mouth with both hands and screamed.
Lucy and Natalie looked at each other blankly.
“Now the floor is blown away… ?”
“no… !”
***
A place very far from the accommodation.
Maru flew endlessly through the air, broke a wooden pole, and landed on the floor.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
“What the fuck happened.”
Cursing came out of nowhere.
I quickly got up and looked at my body, and fortunately there were no injuries.
“Ah~ What are the elves really doing? Everything you do fails.”
Compared to the looks of these bastards, they are surprisingly flimsy.
“Where is this anyway?”
I grumbled and looked around to find a roadside strewn with corpses.
Broken buildings, demons devouring corpses, and… A large demon holding an ax stood in front of me.
“Grrr.”
The guy was walking down the street and was looking down at the floor while standing tall, as if he had stopped by chance when he saw a floor that had fallen from the sky.
His belly was as thick as an ogre’s, and his face resembled that of a wild boar, with fangs on his lower jaw protruding upward.
He was well over 2 meters tall.
Even at a glance, it was on a different level from other demons.
The momentum and majesty of his appearance were quite intense.
‘Damn it, I have to go back to the dorm quickly.’
Maru sighed deeply and smiled brightly.
“Um, maybe your name is… ?”
“It’s Azra.”
“Yes, Azra. I say Maru. I’m sorry I blocked the way, and please go on your way in peace.”
Maru stepped aside and politely recommended with his hand.
I had no intention of fighting demons.
Anyway, this city is overflowing with heroes, and they will take care of it.
There are as many as two warriors.
Maru only intended to protect Audrit and her family.
“You are greedy. I want to eat.”
But the devil seems to have no intention of passing quietly.
The guy slowly raised the ax he was holding in one hand.
Maru hurriedly waved his hand while embarrassed.
“uh? uh? don’t do that don’t do that Then there’s a fight You live and I live too. I just want to quietly leave this city with the woman I love. You’re a pacifist. I don’t know what it’s like to come here for sightseeing.”
Azra blinked once at Maru’s complaint.
Then, suddenly, without saying anything, he hit Maru’s head with his fist.
An ordinary person would have been unable to withstand the power of the fist and would have been crushed flat, but Maru was motionless.
He looked up at Azra with a hard expression, a large fist resting on top of his head.
“Since we’re going our separate ways, we live a tiring life.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Azra’s wrist with both arms, turned it around, and threw it away.
Azra, pinned to the building, let out a roar in anger.
“Azra is mad! you! kill!”
The guy threw down his axe.
The ax that looked expensive flew through the air and rushed at Maru.
Maru hurriedly ducked and avoided it, but the ax came back like a boomerang.
“Wow, that sounds good.”
I ran towards Azra to avoid the axe.
Azra was charging like a raging bull.
Maru pulled out the ax on his back.
I threw it with all my might at Azura, who was running from the front.
The ax flew straight towards Azra’s neck, but he snatched it up in the air, and instead, because he didn’t see the ax he was throwing, the ax that flew in after him landed on his left shoulder.
“Keugh!”
Black blood flowed from the shoulder that had been pierced by the ax blade.
Azura let out an angry roar, broke the ax of the floor he was holding with one hand, and pulled out the ax embedded in his shoulder.
And ran to Maru, but it was okay.
Maru was superior in all aspects of strength, intelligence, and physical ability.
“I was also a warrior in the past, son!”
He was cornered and terribly beaten.
He was a guy who couldn’t do anything unless he took the axe.
I was so angry that I was wasting my time unnecessarily, so I killed it.
“I told you not to touch that.”
I threw the boy’s heart in my hand to the floor.
Thinking of leaving, I wiped my hands with dirt and turned around to walk, when a kind woman’s voice suddenly resonated in my ears.
-Are you leaving Azura’s ax behind? It’s a pretty valuable item.
“It’s too big to hold in one hand… who are you?”
Maru looked around.
There was no one to see except the demons rampaging in the distance.
I heard her voice in my ears.
-My name is Glomadina. She is an elf called the green maiden. A weak being who serves the Earthmother. Currently trapped on the 47th floor of Eugrdia.
If it’s Yugurdia, isn’t it the giant tree in the center of the city?
If he is confined to the 47th floor, he must be a person with a high status as a leader.
It was a little awkward to change to polite language since we started the conversation in half words.
I just kept talking in half-speak as I used to.
“therefore?”
-I found you while looking for someone to help us.
“I have to go to my wife right now, so I can’t go there. There are warriors here too. Ask them for help.”
-Unfortunately, the two warriors are currently fighting right in front of me.
You say warriors fight each other?
It’s a complete piece of crap.
Anyway, that’s what you do.
“Can you tell me the direction from where I am to the lodgings where the leaders are staying? Please tell me the way.”
When she said she wasn’t interested, there was a hint of nervousness in her voice.
-Please help me activate Iluna. If only Iluna is activated, your wife and all citizens will be safe.
“Didn’t you ask me to save you?”
-Now is the time to prioritize the safety of citizens over our own lives.
okay show.
Unexpected.
If it’s a problem with Iluna’s operation, it’s helpful for herself and Audrit.
Maru did not hesitate.
“Tell me. What should I do?”
Then I felt her relieved and smiling.
-thank you. Thank you very much. First of all, I saw that the weapon you were using earlier was destroyed before leaving. It would be nice to have a weapon. I will reduce Azura’s ax to fit your hand size.
What… Called?
good ability
So, a new weapon was born.
