Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 98

EP.98 End?

thud.

“..?!”

Eri, who bumped her forehead against the desk, raised her head in amazement.

“…Did you sleep again?”

How many times are you in the zone this time? It’s unimaginable when I’m in the tower, but it seems like I’ve been too lazy lately.

Stretched out, she grabbed her cane and left the room.

I was thinking of going for a walk to wake up.

I went down to the first floor through the hallway on the second floor, but there was no sign of popularity in the inn. It’s not strange. Because I rented the whole inn for research.

However, unlike the quiet inside of the inn, it was noisy outside.

To the point where you can hear a loud noise all the way into the inn.

what’s wrong

Eri was puzzled and left the inn.

“..?”

I froze at the absurd sight that far exceeded my imagination. She rubbed her eyes. She wondered if she had seen it wrong. But she didn’t change anything.

‘Is it a dream?’

Could it have been that he could not overcome his drowsiness and fell asleep? He’s having nightmares like this because he’s been in a bad mood lately. It was when she thought she was pretty plausible.

“Eri!”

I saw Neria running from afar. It was as if she had jumped out while she was fighting, seeing that she was wearing a cloth shirt and light leather armor.

‘How detailed it is for a dream.’

Eri slowly pulled back her middle finger. It is a simple test to determine whether it is a dream or reality. If it does not hurt, it is a dream, and if it hurts, it is a reality. She hadn’t even broken her fingers yet, but her skin was crawling and hurting.

It’s probably not a dream.

‘Isn’t that a dream?’

What about this situation where the palace is covered with a giant tentacle monster, and the sky is covered with dark Clouds and strange purple particles?

‘What the hell happened while you were asleep?!’

The answer could be heard from Neria, who had run to find her.

“Suddenly the palace collapsed and that’s what?”

“yes. After being led out of the palace by Ophelia, the palace collapsed and appeared.”

“What is this…”

Eri looked at the tentacle monster with a slightly blank face. It’s only now that she feels it, but the magical energy emanating from the monster was extraordinary in quantity and quality, and she was also bizarre.

‘I think it’s a demon…’

It was also a fairly high-ranking demon.

Maybe that’s the Four Heavenly Kings I’ve only heard of?

‘How did the Four Heavenly Kings get lupus?’

They were disappointed for a while after Cloud left alone, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do anything. Aside from leaving alone, his concerns were plausible.

They went to the king and conveyed the opinion that the border should be further strengthened, and the king accepted it.

In fact, all they could do was end there.

Because the three of us can’t go through this wide lupus every day.

And that was enough.

Not only did the regular patrols of the guards increase, but sometimes even knights came out on patrol.

Thanks to this, the security of Lupus was very stable.

That’s why they were sighing too, to show up in this way. It wasn’t disconcerting at all.

– Kwagwagwang.

When the Four Heavenly Kings swung their giant tentacles once, the whole area collapsed and the fragments of the building flew high.

Eri opened her mouth as she looked at the flying building.

“What about Ophelia? Where is Ophelia? Aren’t you supposed to be over there?”

“Because Ophelia is the one who can respond to that power most effectively. I will stay and protect the people. Eri, we have to go and help too.”

“The knights? The royal wizards? What are the guys who usually stretched out like that now?”

“…I do not know. Everyone must have been inside the palace.”

“…”

The monster appeared inside the palace. It would have been difficult to stay safe if he was in the royal palace at the time.

‘Are we supposed to deal with that?’

Eri went beyond fainting and became dizzy.

Four Heavenly King.

In legend, he was always defeated by a hero, so he never thought about it too much. However, Eri could feel the weight of the name just by looking at that monster now.

It can’t win now.

No, I’m not sure if I can win even later.

What I can be sure of right now is that they can’t win over that no matter what they do.

Eri didn’t want to throw herself into an impossible fight.

Because it was dog death.

So it was time to refer to the well-packaged escape called ‘Retreat’.

Fleeing citizens entered her eyes.

They were killed by stone shards from afar, fell and crushed by others, or killed by robbers seeking out the chaos.

A city half-broken in her eyes also came into view.

Although shabby compared to the Empire, the city that still maintained its own beauty was losing its light.

Looking at them, Eri did not feel any emotions such as pity or guilt.

She felt fear.

What if I ran away from here?

I don’t know if life can be spared. But after that?

As a companion of the hero, he would be ridiculed for surviving poorly by running away from the demons.

family figures. The figure of the tower. Coward. fugitive. All sorts of disgraceful modifiers will stick to her, and she will lose a lot.

And above all, what will Cloud do when he finds out that she has run away?

The more I imagined it, the more afraid I became.

“Eri? what are you doing. I don’t have time for this!”

Neria shouted at Eri from the side, but she didn’t move. She eventually got frustrated with her and it was when Neria said she would go first and she was about to run.

A giant purple tentacle approached the direction they were… to be precise, towards the entrance of the castle.

– Aww!!

– What, what!

The citizens who discovered the tentacle were startled and tried to avoid it, but it moved faster. And it was much faster for Eri to express the chant that Eri had memorized beforehand.

[Magic Shield]

Five layers of translucent shields were intercepted between the citizens and the tentacles.

Chachachachaeng!

The four layers of protection were broken, but the last one remained intact. Although it was cracked, the tentacle was successfully blocked.

[Hellfire]

[Magic Missile]

A red magic circle appeared in front of Eri.

The magic missiles passed through the magic circle, and the fire of hell was overlaid on the magic missiles, which were mere chunks of pure magic.

Magic missiles with the addition of hell fire easily pierced the tentacles. Eri manipulated the magic missile to make numerous holes in the tentacles, which eventually drooped helplessly.

All eyes in the vicinity focused on her.

Normally, she would have enjoyed that gaze, but not now.

“Hey, is there a sorceress over there? Then watch over me! If it’s money-“

Tight! A middle-aged man was hit in the face by a stick and rolled on the floor. He screamed, but Eri didn’t even look at him.

She looked at the Four Heavenly Kings from afar with a face full of irritation and desperation.

“Mr. Lee… I don’t think I can beat that…”

upper class street.

The street that once had as much free time as the wealth it had now had no other chaos. The upper-class street in the heart of the city was close to the royal palace.

High concentrations of Magi obstructed breathing, and all kinds of tentacles, from gigantic tentacles to small and thin ones, roamed and destroyed them.

This place, which was the object of envy and envy for the common people, has turned into a pit of despair.

But even in the midst of that despair, there was a small hope.

The outskirts of a wealthy street.

A golden light shone at the boundary between the wealthy and the common people. No matter how many Kings of the Four Heavenly Kings were, they could not see the divine light. The magic that touched the light was purified and the tentacles burned.

-Sah, I lived. now live!

– Iris, thank you. thank you…

Those protected by the divine light were relieved.

They did not doubt that the goddess’ blessing would continue to protect them.

However, those who actually borrowed the power of the goddess did not have a bright expression on their faces.

This was especially the case with Ophelia, the core of the barrier.

‘It can’t be like this.’

There was no problem with the effectiveness of the barrier.

Because the barrier of light created by the prayers of ten priests and candidacy was completely blocking the special energy.

The problem was elsewhere.

“Over there! Quickly!”

“You idiots! Run at the time you’re going to scream like an idiot!”

After joining Ophelia, Neria and Eri immediately started rescue operations. The rescue operation itself is not the problem. Because both women are excellent in their own way. With the help of soldiers and guards there, the rescue went smoothly.

The problem arose with the word ‘smooth’.

Due to the smooth progress of the rescue, the number of people entering the barrier increased rapidly. It means that the inside of the barrier is starting to get cramped.

After a while, you won’t be able to receive more people at all.

It may seem like a problem that can be solved simply by expanding the barrier, but there were things that had to be thrown away when the barrier was widened.

Things like the fineness and retention of the barrier.

Not a single one was unimportant, so Ophelia couldn’t make a decision easily.

‘It would have been nice if there were more churches…’

Half… No, if I had only half of it, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this. But, including her, there are only 11 people here. It was only a handful of the many church officials.

‘Where is everyone?’

Did he run away because it was time to devote himself to the subject that emphasized love and devotion?

Were they such cowards?

Were those people trying to teach and control her to obey God’s will?

Negative thoughts fill your head.

Ophelia shook her head and erased it.

‘Everyone must be working somewhere else.’

Maybe they see this light and come to help. Then all she has to do is hold on until then…

“I can’t stand it any longer. This is crazy!”

A young male priest stopped praying and stood up. Even though he was young, he was a person who pushed him by saying that he was promising in the church because of his rich divine power.

“What are you doing now? Please pray again.”

“Sister candidate. No more… no more. I will live.”

“stop. I can’t go beyond this as a joke…”

“Sorry Sorry!”

The priest bowed his head and ran towards the outside of the barrier.

“Sleep… stop! It is dangerous to go out…”

Ophelia shut her mouth.

Because the priest ran out alone, spreading the barrier, and the tentacles could not break through that barrier.

‘How did this happen…’

She opened her eyes wide and turned her gaze to the monster that occupied the palace.

‘…Intentionally?’

Did you let it go on purpose?

Are the Four Heavenly Kings a priest?

why?

‘…ah!’

Ophelia, realizing her intentions belatedly, turned her gaze to the other priests. Two of the priests who were noticing got up to run away like the first priest.

“Catch them!”

When Ophelia shouted, the dazed citizens came to their senses and caught two priests who were about to run away.

“Leave this! Let go!”

“Crazy bastard. Is a priest called a person thinking of running away?!”

The two resisted, but were soon subdued. It would have been nice to have gone that far, but the citizens were upset that they were trying to run away leaving them, so they laid the two down and started to beat them.

“stop! Please stop it! Now is not the time for that!”

“shut up! How the hell I’ve donated to the church so far! But how does it come out? Filling your stomach like that with my money? If that’s the case, spit out my money, you bastard!”

The citizens did not listen to Ophelia’s restraint. She, who had to protect her barrier, could not move from her place, so she could not actively stop her.

Because of this, she asked other citizens, but they too were frustrated.

They seemed very offended that the priest had tried to abandon them.

So, instead of stopping the assault, they opted to spy on other clergy. They approached other clerics praying and applied silent pressure.

Even if he tried to run away, as if he wouldn’t let him go.

Even Ophelia, the candidate for a saint, was not free from such pressure. They watched her up with her disbelieving gaze.

The divine power gathered to Ophelia kept decreasing. If it’s natural, it’s natural. Because there is no way I can pray properly in this situation. Everyone was just trying to figure out how to escape, but they didn’t really pray.

As this situation continued, even Ophelia began to get annoyed.

She bit her lips tightly.

‘Ah really…’

Why are you doing that?

You should just do what you’re told.

Then, your chances of survival increase, so why do you keep acting your way?

Why don’t Neria and Eri come like this?

Kane… Why is that motherfucker running away and making things so hard?

Why aren’t the church people still coming?

If the light was lit this big, wouldn’t it be time for one or two people to come?

I need some help.

I’m having a hard time too.

scary and tiring

Why do I have to be this hard in the first place?

Because it’s a female candidate?

Wasn’t it because I wanted it?

I don’t even want it, but it’s the Goddess’s choice and I pushed it.

Expecting unreasonably and increasing the burden on your shoulders.

If it goes well, it’s because of you, and if it doesn’t, it’s my fault.

damn church.

If it hadn’t been for my parents abandoned me, I wouldn’t have been very involved.

Why did my parents abandon me…

Oh right. Wasn’t that also the fate the Goddess bestowed upon me?

haha. yes. I did.

damn goddess.

Get your ass off the Demon King-

-Ah… Ophelia… My daughter… You’re finally crossing the line…

A pure voice that came directly into her head.

Ophelia shuddered.

Because she could instinctively recognize whose voice it was.

“…Goddess?”

how?

I didn’t say it in words, I just vomited my dissatisfaction…

‘ah.’

Ophelia remembered that she was praying.
