Mission No.4 Reunion (14)
Zelena’s movements were not those of someone who had been beaten by Usbel until just yesterday.
Zelena, who exploded in such a second that even Ebalt could not keep up with her eyes, plunged the wobbly dagger into the monster’s stomach.
Zelena stabbed the monster’s stomach with terrifying force, she let go of the monster’s arm as it flew terrifyingly away without even looking at it, then stepped on the handle of the stuck knife with her foot and jumped up.
Her target was the dagger she threw herself.
She rose near the dagger lodged in the monster’s chest, and Zelena grabbed her dagger and threw all her strength into it as she pushed it forward.
Awesome!
The crumbling monster glared at Zelena.
Zelena, who had come into the monster’s field of vision, relaxed her hand, leaving the dagger thrust up to her wrist in the monster’s body.
As she clung to the monster, Zelena performed a somersault unbecoming for her age as she slipped away from the monster.
The monster, who didn’t even feel the pain she was being attacked, tried to move her body, but couldn’t lift a finger, and had to watch her Zelena’s body spin around.
And Zelena’s right hand drew a terrifying semicircle, lightly gripping another dagger.
Something fell out of the monster. Zelena leaps onto her monster’s lap as she spins her graceful somersault, clutching the something that jumps out of the monster to her chest.
Ekrin, who momentarily confirmed that Zelena had retreated, crossed Zwei Hender and completely got out of range of the monster. It was clear to her fingertips that the tip of her knife was cutting through the muscle at the back of the monster’s ankle.
The monster collapsed. The monster’s torso bent sharply forward, and one knee struck the ground.
However, the bright yellow eyes that still emitted a hideous light were glaring at people with extreme hatred.
However, before feeling the fear, something that didn’t give me time to notice when it was approaching made a lot of mechanical sounds and put my hands together in front of the monster’s chest.
It was Kamache wrapped in blue light.
A tremendous blue light burst from Kamache’s fingertips into the monster’s chest.
aaa!
Two of Kamache’s smaller guns pierced the monster’s chest.
All the flesh and blood that had been protruding evaporated with intense force, and the light remaining from the main gun shot up behind the monster’s back.
The monster’s eyes suddenly lost focus. But he is not dead yet. Ewald rushed behind the back of the monster, which began to stumble.
Even though I don’t have a knife, even if I knock him down…
Awesome!
But Ewald’s heart seemed to stop more than the sight of someone stepping on Kamache’s back.
There, in perfect posture, Elif held out her sword downward, her eyes tightly closed and her hands shaking.
Ewald opened his mouth to Elif, blinking at a feeling he couldn’t express.
“Ellie…”
The elf’s sword split the monster’s one remaining shoulder in half.
However, the trembling Elif jumped up behind her with her eyes tightly closed and raised her sword from the bottom to the top in a posture that should be listed in a swordsmanship manual.
Wickedness!
“… Print?”
Elif landed on the floor with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed tightly.
Not even Ewald could have imagined that he would close his eyes and sit lightly on the floor.
The monster’s severed right arm rose beyond the tip of Elif’s sword that had completed such a perfect cut up, and the monster lost its focus without being able to scream any more.
However, contrary to that, Elif began to tremble mercilessly in a clean finishing position.
“Daejangnim! Hey, hey, are you dead?”
Ewald didn’t even feel worthy of an answer.
“Hey, check it out. It’s scary!”
Ewald felt that the elves were more terrifying than the monsters.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ewald noticed someone standing there with the monster’s head in the middle and his shoulders pressed down.
It was Selena.
Zelena’s shadow held another dagger in each hand.
The moment the half moon began to rise far to the east and shimmered on Zelena’s shoulder, Zelena crossed her two daggers at the monster’s neck.
And she, Zelena, jumped on her monster’s back.
Sugagak!
As soon as the two daggers shone with a terrifying trajectory, the monster’s head was severed from its body and rose up.
“… Come on.”
Where the head was lost, the monster’s blood gushed out like a fountain. Zelena jumped up again, breaking through the wind of her blood, which began to draw a faint rainbow in the moonlight, and sat down to the ground, clutching the head of the monster that had not yet fallen to the ground.
Zelena, clutching her monster’s head in one hand and the head of little Alina in the other, silently straightened her body.
And she finally fell over, as the monster’s tattered body slumped to the floor with a heavy thump.
* * *
Lafon seemed to be quite shocked, but after he took some strange medicine, he suddenly became limber and was repairing the Kamache, and the rest of the crew were not injured.
It was Usbel that Ewald was worried about.
However, Ebalt scratched her head with his other hand while holding the most important loot he had obtained from defeating the monster that ate Alina.
In Ewald’s hand was the dismembered monster’s huge left arm.
‘This should be it. I can put it together.’
But there was one more thing that bothered Ewald.
It was Selena.
Ewald paced around Zelena. But he couldn’t get out of his mouth to ask if he was okay.
Zelena quietly bowed her head, holding Alina’s head in her arms, which seemed to smile with her carefree face, but she did not look sad.
Whether she wasn’t sad, or whether she didn’t want to be seen sad, Zelena threw one of her short words to Ebalt.
“Thank you.”
“… I don’t know if that’s something to be thankful for.”
Ewald hadn’t done anything other than agonize over the looming past. That was all Ewald had done in this battle. Nothing the monster did before changing into Alina’s appearance was meaningless.
Ewald was blaming himself like that.
However, Zelena kept her gaze fixed on Darcy Balt and thanked him with a light smile.
It was crushing Ewald’s heart painfully.
But Zelena quietly opened her mouth, turning her Alina’s head to Ebalt.
“Listen.”
Ewald couldn’t watch the scene. When the monster transformed into Alina’s form, it seemed that the scene from the past that had taken over her brain would come back again.
“Alina told me.”
“… Nonsense.”
How does her head, which decades ago she was eaten by a monster and even cut off, speak.
But Zelena stroked her Alina’s hair lovingly.
It would be a terrifying scene to someone unfamiliar, but Alina’s face, her eyes closed as if she was sleeping, seemed like she could breathe at any moment.
And her Zelena’s wet her voice flowed quietly.
“Did he talk about you before me?”
Ewald’s chest was pressed by an invisible stone. But Zelena’s face was as calm and sunken as Alina’s in her face.
“It’s okay. He said thank you.”
Ewald felt his heart go cold and goosebumps ran through his body.
“That’s all you said.”
Ewald felt something hot rise from the depths of his chest.
The emotion, once burst, shook her lungs and chest, then rose up her neck and up her face. The feeling rushed to the corners of Ewald’s eyes and rushed to them without passing through his brain.
And Zelena’s throaty voice continued.
“Ewald, I don’t care if you feel guilty or not. No, at least…”
Emotions, once rushed in, shook everything in Ewald.
“My child says thank you.”
He couldn’t take it anymore.
“Alina said thank you.”
Even Zelena couldn’t handle it.
“I honestly don’t know anything. You really have no idea why he appreciates you. Why are you doing this really… Do you really not understand anything?”
A voice completely swallowed.
“However… But thank you.”
It flowed out of Zelena with great difficulty.
“Alina said thank you.”
Tears finally burst from Ewald’s eyes.
“So I will thank you too.”
Ewald slumped in his seat.
“I think both Alina and I can tell you.”
And Ewald cried in front of everyone like that.
“Are you okay.”
With her face covered in tears and snot, Zelena drew a smile so clear on her lips that she opened her mouth to Ewald.
“Stop struggling now.”
* * *
Having laid Uth-Bell on a wide rock, Ebalt placed the monster’s left arm in her hand around Uth-Bell’s severed shoulder.
Somehow, he cut off both of the monster’s arms, but strangely, the extent of Usbel’s severed left arm and the extent of the monster’s severed left arm were almost identical.
That brought Ewald great comfort.
Even if he measured it with a ruler and told him to cut it like this, it wouldn’t have been easy.
Ewald expressed his sincere thanks to Ekryn. Of course, Ekryn had to be greeted by Ewald with a really strange expression.
Preparations are almost complete.
Taking out the last remaining potion, Ewald sprinkled enough of it on Usbel’s severed shoulder and the monster’s severed arm and stood up.
Then he calculated his magic formula with a more careful look than ever before.
An ordinary person who has no knowledge of magic might think that he is just using magic again, but Fiornier felt the deployment of mana starting to be deployed around Ebalt and had to hurriedly wipe away the goosebumps that had sprouted all over his body.
Formulas so dense and meticulous that not even a needle could go in began pouring out of Ewald’s mouth.
The speed at which the magic formulas poured out was far beyond imagination, but the density and concentration of mana clearly represented Ewald’s feelings when creating the formulas.
Right now, Ewald was pouring out perfect formulas under Pionir’s judgment.
And that too at an incredible speed.
How prudent Ewald reacted to the formulas in between, scattering all the incoming mana and forcibly creating a vacuum of mana.
The idea of building an embankment insanely high, filling the embankment with water to the point of dripping, and then bursting it in an instant was conveyed to Piornir.
The other members looked at Ewald and Usbel alternately, with anxious expressions on their faces.
But, like Piornir, he didn’t have the slightest bit of anxiety.
The magic formula that Ewald was writing now was a formula that could not fail.
It was a magic formula that even Peonir, who could only operate 1 class, could understand as if he could hold it in his hand.
After completing the formula like building bricks, Balt finally activated his magic.
“Æxlun.”
Usbel’s severed shoulder and the monster’s severed arm, both extremities swelled.
They swelled to a reddish color and wriggled toward each other, then clung to each other.
A strange noise arose from the joint.
However, Ewald wrote another magic formula with frantic concentration, with his eyes closed, despite having activated his magic.
Fionir shuddered at Ewald’s formula.
Ewald was pushing down the monster’s arm and Usbel, pressing down everything in the swelling tissue with mana.
At that moment, the monster’s arm, taller than Usbel’s, was engulfed in brilliance. The crew turned their heads at the sudden light.
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as the light appeared, Ewald muttered as he held Usbel in his arms.
“… Come back.”
The monster’s arms contracted rapidly.
The monster’s arm, shrunk to the size of Usbel’s severed arm, sank quietly, fading the light it emitted, and Ewald held Usbel’s tiny body in her arms until it was hard for her to breathe.
Then Usbel raised her newly formed arm and carefully stroked the back of Ewald’s head with a trembling hand.
Ewald closed his eyes tightly and hugged Usbel without saying anything.
“Lol…”
Usbel also whispered a small voice in Ewald’s ear while hugging Ewald’s body.
“Thank you for being alive.”
