26 – If you want to save (2)

to fight alongside the warriors.

It was difficult to follow the thread, and it was only tearing my crotch.

It was repeated countless times before the regression.

Against the demon king who wanted to destroy the world.

Against the Demon King’s army officers who were still on the Devil’s side.

So, due to the big difference in class, I ended up having to match the sum that I couldn’t keep up with.

It was truly a pity.

At that time, the warrior led me to join forces.

The way she attacks, and I assist.

It’s the same now.

The hero attacks, and I match and assist.

If there was one difference, I was leading the joint venture.

I assist her with magic so that she can deliver a more powerful blow in a more comfortable direction.

Wounds are carved one by one on the whole body of the mid-level demons who seemed unbeatable.

It’s not like the two of us used strong force.

It doesn’t even use any special skills.

As if their hearts were connected, all attacks flowed like water and hacked through the mid-level demons.

The demons could not resist, and were approaching death every moment.

Because without such a miracle, the demon lord could not be defeated.

Because only the undead could follow the extreme struggle that even the warrior’s companions couldn’t stand.

I hate and take revenge on the demon lord.

Because she sincerely wanted the salvation of mankind.

She and I fought together.

Even if it regresses, even if all the results achieved are gone.

These connections could never disappear.

“It is over now.”

Pooh-!

As soon as I finished my words, the warrior’s sword pierced the demon’s heart.

It was an order given at the right time, so I was able to handle it neatly.

It certainly didn’t have the absolute force it had before returning, but it was still very strong.

Maybe with my assistant, wouldn’t it have at least three times the strength?

The combined power was greater than expected.

After cutting the head of an intermediate level demon, there is a brief lull, and the hero looks at me with embarrassed eyes.

The good news is that her hostility has disappeared by more than half.

I don’t know what caused her hostility towards me, but I’m glad it wasn’t severe.

The hero bit his lip a few times and thanked him.

“thank you.”

“It is natural.”

Of course you should help and kill the demon king.

In this process, there was nothing to spare the help of the warrior.

After dealing with the mid-level demons, I was able to quickly deal with other demons as well.

Frank wiped out the demons once with magic, and Changsung held out among the demons until the front lines were restored as I ordered.

Sword Saint, it seems that the left side has already been cleaned up.

As if the hero was freeing himself, he killed the demons savagely, and as I used magic or cut off their heads one by one, there were no demons that were not corpses.

Even if you look at the location of the demons around you, it looks like the raid will end with this.

The swordsman looked around and finished the command.

“You can relax now.”

“Whoa!”

“Live!”

“Ahh… .”

Even while I was cooperating with the hero, the swordsman tried to keep the number of victims as low as possible by arranging the battle line.

As he made meaningful use of the A-grade or lower students who could not deal with the demons, in a way, he exerted a greater influence than the warriors.

“Thank you all.”

The hero thanked the five of us.

Perhaps because of her meticulous mind, she did not forget and expressed her gratitude to Raeli, who was the least active.

And it wasn’t just the warriors who said hello.

other students.

In addition, even the examinee who had talked behind my back hesitantly thanked me and left.

“thanks.”

“Thank you for saving me.”

“I looked at you funny, but that wasn’t the case at all. Killing a mid-level demon like a hero… .”

Most of them nodded or were thanked, but only Changseong had a puzzled look on his face.

why are you doing that again

Did you get upset because I left you alone among the five demons?

“Haaa”

Fran had used so much arithmetic acceleration that her face looked quite tired.

One important fact came to mind.

“We will have to prepare for camping soon.”

The sky was getting dark.

The first night in a forest full of monsters and demons.

It was truly terrifying to hear.

It’s camping here.

Before returning, I had slept on the bare floor, so even though I was somewhat familiar with it, I hadn’t experienced it with other nobles or, at least, commoners.

It is said that they do not know how to prepare for camping, let alone be determined to sleep in a dangerous place.

“Whoa… . I’ll start with night shifts first.”

This is also the part of the swordsman.

I couldn’t step out at the point where I had already shown my capabilities.

The swordsman was bothered by the world.

However, there is no one other than the Sword Saint who knows how to do it, so what can I do?

He moved himself and began giving instructions to the examinees.

They pitched tents, prepared dinner, and treated patients separately.

The deceased students were also commemorated and trained.

Perhaps even the hero couldn’t stay still, so he helped by leading with the swordsman.

“Let’s pitch a tent.”

“okay.”

I took out a long pole for tenting from my bag and lifted it up.

Then, Raeli suddenly asked.

“Argal, but can you pitch a tent?”

“I can’t even hit this one… .”

staggering-

My body staggered as I tried to lift up the tent fabric and the poles to support it.

…not really.

Is there such a thing as a strength boosting potion?

Before the return, he always had demonic energy in his body, and moved his body with the power of demonic energy, but now that was impossible.

Otherwise, he had to strengthen his body with mana, but it was difficult with only the magic that naturally flowed from the star’s base.

Then you have to amplify it, but it’s not a good idea to mobilize amplification every time you have chronic muscle weakness.

I understood the bag, but Raeli said with cold eyes, as if she thought it was an unacceptable athletic ability this time.

“Let’s exercise, Argal.”

“…yes.”

Frank seemed to be laughing because he was so dumbfounded.

“Puhuhw, would you like to arm wrestle with me?”

“I will refuse.”

It’s not that I hate it because my pride is hurt, but I hate it because I’m really going to lose.

What kind of dog is it if you lose arm wrestling to Fran?

Sleep quietly, sleep quietly.

Raeli pitched the tent very neatly.

Skillful workmanship that has never been done before.

He hit better than Geomseong, who sighed deeply because of the test takers and even showed a demonstration of setting up a tent.

“You pitch a tent well, where did you learn from?”

“It’s not the first time or two that I’ve camped out on my dad’s expedition.”

What kind of young lady is going on an expedition with you?

Besides, pitching a tent?

As always felt, Viscount Karis was working hard raising his daughter as a knight, not a young lady.

While not only us but also the other students were tearing down the tents, the swordsman explained about the vigil.

“Night vigils are made in four directions: two people in one group, east, west, south, and north. Students who received an S grade here will be excluded without vigil. Do you have any objections?”

Listening to him, it seemed that the students who received the S grade were taken out without warning.

If you had the power to catch the demons, it would have been better to step out in case of danger than to stand vigil.

Even the students who knew about it did not object.

It’s good that I don’t have to wake up in the middle of the hassle.

It was Raeli who became depressed.

“Can I live with sadness at Grade B… .”

“I work hard. Raeli, of course I’m in S rank, so I’m going to sleep well today.”

“Turn it off… .”

Fran’s expression was ‘If you twist it, you should have gotten an S grade.’ it’s the same face

Raeli stood up quickly, showing a spleen determination to get revenge on Fran.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to get Reinhardt’s first night watch.”

I’ll suck the honey though. is this

Since I know Swordsman and Face, I intend to use that as an excuse to get a comfortable time zone.

That’s what her freedom is.

When Raeli left, the atmosphere became quiet.

Each time the two girls grumbled, and as they separated, silence came.

Fran looked at the night sky quietly, as if she was accustomed to this silence.

Have you come to any conclusions?

After much thought, she said what she wanted to say.

“I am from the Magic Tower.”

“is it?”

Certainly, his magic skills had reached the level of a wizard.

Being able to fire meaningful magic bombardment in actual combat is almost impossible, even compared to students who have already entered the academy.

“I can become an elder in just a few years. If you become the elder of the Mage Tower, you will gain immense power and money. The one who doesn’t envy the nobles is the elder of the Mage Tower.”

“…By the way?”

“I gave up the position and came here. A wizard who becomes a companion of a hero can peek at the extreme through God and become a great wizard.”

As I listened to her words, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

If she hadn’t died… .

Wouldn’t Fran have become the archmage of the warrior party later on?

I thought so.

“But I don’t have to hang on to it any longer.”

Fran laughed.

Because I met someone who knew the extreme.

There was no need to go through a difficult and difficult road and enter the warrior’s party.

“Then, do you have any intention of becoming the archmage of the warrior party?”

“I don’t have the conviction to suffer that much to catch the demon king. Of course, I will help you.”

Hearing that thought, I smiled.

Fran, if there is one misunderstanding.

I never said I would tell you the full meaning.

“Who told you everything?”

“Yes? No, you said you would let me know! I even joined the party.”

“That’s not a good enough price.”

“Okay, I get it. Then what do you want? Argal.”

look at the night sky

The embroidered stars seemed to illuminate Fran’s fate.

It’s ironic.

A wizard who died and couldn’t join the warrior party.

Even if you survive here, the result of not joining the warrior party is the same.

yeah, that didn’t matter

Whether you become a hero’s ally or not, it will help you catch the demon king anyway.

Most importantly… .

“Don’t die.”

“…Yeah?”

After he spoke very quietly, Fran asked again, listening intently as if he hadn’t heard.

“What are you not doing?”

“Don’t be conceited, did someone promise to give you a warrior party? Let me choose whether or not to do it?”

“Aye! Do you have that much confidence? Besides, there is no student who can use magic better than me… .”

Fran’s eyes twinkled.

The one who can use magic better than you.

It’s right in front of you.

“got it? What is the reason for not being conceited?”

“yes… .”

The Francs were immediately suppressed.

Pretending to be depressed, he pats Fran’s head, who is lowering his head.

Her hair was very soft.

Fran complained.

“Whoever wants to touch his hair… . You’re not old enough to be petted, are you?”

“It is my heart.”

If you look at what you say, you’re just young, but pretend you’re not.

The night was quiet.

It is a peace that came for a very short time before an even bigger storm struck in front of it.

for a while in this stillness.

Take a break.

**

A demon with one horn broken flew through the sky.

high-ranking demons.

He is also the core of the Demon King’s Army, and is the second most powerful person next to the officers.

Such an existence was the way to return after negotiations with the crown prince.

[You’re greedy, Crown Prince… . However, in the end, destruction will come, so whatever you give will not be wasted.]

The place he had to return to was not the Demon Castle.

I had a mission to kill half of the academy’s personnel.

I floated high in the air and looked at the large barrier made of black magic.

It hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s so big that you can see it from far away.

That was the work of the Demon King’s executive, the King of Death.

Certainly like a warlock who has reached transcendence, the barrier does not allow even the slightest hole.

An ignorant barrier that even a high-ranking demon could not pass.

That’s why I entrusted all the work to the high-level and mid-level demons inside.

[Hero, this is our work.]

A thoroughly orchestrated stage.

A hardship that can only be pierced through awakening.

And an environment that has no choice but to awaken.

[Become strong through hardships.]

If so, the demon king’s scales also move to balance.

The stronger the hero becomes, the stronger the demon king becomes.

[This is a perfect deal.]

That’s why they don’t kill warriors.

The strongest warrior must be born.

The most evil demon king will descend from this world.

Flowers bloom in the corpse.
