The Paladin Owns the Relic

154 – Ancient Forest (14)

Garnet, a large city in the south of the empire connected to the large city of Mamet.

The battle that took place in the big city, which was a kind of borderline with the ancient forest right in front of it, was over after half a day.

The rocks that flew in countless times from beyond the wall blew the entire building away as if it had been blown by a catapult. Later, as if even that had fallen, dozens of sharp stones flew at once.

A siege weapon that seems to have been brought straight from nature. The surroundings were already a mess. The number of those who died in sobs could not be counted.

“…This.”

Tsubaki frowned.

“It’s too bad. Is there really such a thing as an ancient forest?”

“Since I couldn’t see beyond the wall, I can’t be certain that it is an ancient forest.”

This is the first scenario I’ve seen. Garnet is being attacked.

In addition, this was clearly an attack aimed at the gate. Most of the landing points of the thrown rocks were aimed at the square area with gates.

“…I know at least one. It’s not an ignorance attack, it’s something they’re aiming for. There must be a commander as well.”

“Teacher. They were aiming for the expedition.”

“That’s right. To be precise… I was aiming for the delegation.”

It’s absolutely perfect timing. It’s as if they were openly using their hands.

A delegation moving under the authority of the Third Princess. If successful, it is the only chance to become one of the true successors.

“…I don’t know if it’s an ancient forest or what, but I do know one thing.”

There are a total of three suspects.

Maybe all three.

“Except for the 3rd princess, everyone else tried their hand. These bastards… What did they do?”

“That’s not the time to think about that!”

Arpina moved. Unable to use her powers properly, she scraped away the remains with her bare hands.

It looks like the little white rabbit is working hard. Even though there is blood on my palm, I don’t pay attention.

I’m just shouting with my whole body.

Even one more person.

“We have to save it! These are innocent people!”

Those under the rubble groan. I sighed.

Vulcan asked.

“What are you going to do? Sibling.”

“How do you do it?”

Even if you don’t have the strength, you should listen to my boss, is there anything special?

I have no intention of arguing with Alpina.

“Gather the wounded. I will take care of each and every one of them.”

. . .

Bunny, the thief queen of the great thieves Carl Vid, held her breath.

The elite of the elite. Only 20 executives remained by the side, gasping for breath.

“What the f*ck…”

“How do I do it? Boss.”

In the fierce battle with the black magician, the main unit was almost destroyed. It did considerable damage to the black magicians, but it was not a pleasant exchange.

With the exception of the most elite executives, everything has been scattered by the annihilated main unit.

In addition, the way to find the scattered subordinates became even more difficult due to the forced passage through the gate. Bernie wiped her face.

Now that it’s like this, at least he killed Fabian…!

“I…But…”

The thieves who were looking around the battlefield swallowed dry saliva.

“How do I find the paladin here…?”

Bunny glanced around the city. The rock-bombarded city was a mess. Rather than looking for people, it is an environment where you have to save people first.

“In addition, our identity is also uncertain.”

“Is there a kid holding an ID?”

“Do you have it?”

Bunny wiped her face.

“One… Only…”

Yes. Rather than looking for Fabian, living for now is the priority.

“Let’s pretend to be victims too. It would be nice to mix.”

“How do I do it?”

“Use your head. Cubs Use some hair! Assholes are real!”

Roaring Bunny took the lead and undressed her corpse. After tearing off parts and soaking them in blood, they wrapped them all over his body.

“Imitate the wounded! Unless it’s very urgent, they won’t even check your identity…?”

I met eyes with a stranger. The party wearing black robes seemed to be looking at the situation in the same way.

Bunny’s eyes widened. He whispered urgently.

“Raise your weapon! Bastards!”

“Ah. Let me do just one!”

“Are you wounded or armed!”

“Raise your weapons! sh*t!”

The magic happened in a flash in the black robe. The scarred old man grinned.

“Shouldn’t you do what you used to do? Huh? Killing my precious samples…!”

“The disgusting old man!”

Bunny growled and stretched out his hatchet. An imminent situation.

Even the flowing air currents are crushed. Even the flow of air under the spirit of the two stops.

As soon as someone steps in first, the storm is about to happen.

“Get out of the way.”

In the middle, someone suddenly intervened.

“…Hmm?”

“Huh?”

The little feet trudged. Black hair fluttered in the wind.

A strangely long black shadow. Countless eyes opened in the darkness, each staring at a different place.

“There and… Over there.”

The black shadow spewed out rotten flesh. It took shape, made a human appearance, and then went to the wreckage and dragged the groaning ones one by one.

“This… How can you…!”

The warlock exclaimed in admiration.

“I thought it was a gemstone, but there was one more thing you were hiding?! What wickedness! Hey! Even now, to me…!”

“……?”

The girl turned her head away. After looking at the warlock, he frowned.

“…A bad old man.”

“What?”

“The boss said he wouldn’t throw away Maya. So I’m not afraid of you at all.”

The shadow with eyes in the hand that was clenched suddenly stretched its body even longer.

“Do not disturb. If you disturb…”

There was no focus in the red eyes. I was just blank as if I was dead.

“I will kill you.”

“Ugh?!”

The warlock backed away. Shuddered.

“Whoa, great… The best sample I’ve ever seen…!”

Bernie looked up. I don’t know what it is, but the warlock is on guard. She has a backsliding that she didn’t even seem to see to herself, a girl who on the surface she’s just a cute little girl.

Opportunity!

Bunny immediately stood beside the girl. Whispered as she stretched out her hatchet.

“Hey. Little.”

“Who?”

“How about a temporary alliance? I also have business with that old man.”

“Maya. Busy.”

“Don’t bounce and let’s deal with it together?! If the two of us hit it together, it will be possible soon…”

“There!”

Someone came running. A hasty step to the extent that the robe would come off on its own.

Bunny’s eyes met, and he hiccuped involuntarily.

“…What is so pretty?”

“Are you hurt?! Oh my God… Look at the blood…!”

Suddenly, her hand is dragged. Her silver-haired beautiful girl examined her own body.

Even taking care of the wounds of other executives. One of the officers laughed out loud.

“I am fine.”

“What is this? It’s a wound that I always live with. hahahaha!”

“It smells good…”

“Don’t do that, everyone come here! That… That’s why…”

The woman who made eye contact with the warlock bit her lip.

“…You have a wound. Everyone please follow me.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“It’s all about saving people. It is the priest’s duty to take care of the wounded. So everyone please follow me. There’s no time to delay. To save even one more person, I have to keep moving.”

Grabbing her warlock with one hand and Bunny with the other, her dodo ran as well.

An act of 100% good. An innocence that cannot be shaken off.

“Come soon! Don’t hesitate!”

Bunny and the warlock exchanged glances. Hands wriggled, but the dark-haired girl whispered first.

“If you make a mistake, Maya will kill them all.”

Bernie narrowed her eyes. One black mage can handle it. But what if that being turns into an enemy?

The other party seemed to have the same idea. With their eyes crossed, the two of them quietly put their hands together.

“…See you later.”

“I want to know what kind of situation this is…”

. . .

The citizens of Garnet coughed and vomited blood. I couldn’t breathe properly because of the rock fragments that had penetrated my intestines.

My eyes were puffy. I couldn’t move at all because I was crushed by the rubble of the building.

It feels like death is approaching little by little. The citizen noticed that his eyes were gradually blurring.

It’s not long. But I don’t want to die.

I never want to die…

Catch the rubble of the building. Put it aside somehow After a few mishandling, I managed to get one small shard out, but more was blocking the light.

One by one.

One by one.

The man moved very slowly. However, his fingertips, which gradually lost their strength, stopped before they could regain their light.

“Who… Who…”

Crying out a voice mixed with crying was the man’s only option.

“Someone… Please… Help… Please…”

The man gasped. He couldn’t breathe properly. The voice he barely managed to squeeze out was very small.

I’m afraid. What lies beyond this darkness? There are so many things I haven’t done yet, should I die like this?

The man closed his eyes. His fingertips got cold. I could feel my heartbeat slowing down.

Slowly.

From noble mtl dot com

Very slowly.

The man let out a breath. I somehow managed to sweep away the internal organs that were about to spill out.

“Who… Who…”

My last voice echoed in vain among the rubble.

“Please…Please…”

Tuduk.

A sudden shower of rock crumbs.

“…Huh?”

The light poured. The man blinked. The man who casually moved aside the rubble of a huge building shook his hand.

Thung.

The belatedly fallen debris shook the ground. Monstrous power. A man in a robe stretched out his hand.

“Can you stand up?”

The man shook his head. He showed a pierced abdomen.

“Stay still.”

Fire shimmered in the hand of the man in front of me. Citizens flinched. But I didn’t resist.

It wasn’t hot. Rather warm. A warmth that seems to melt away all the tension in the body.

In the healing wound, the man felt the pain disappear.

“Miracle…miracle…”

The voice has returned. Tears fell from the man’s eyes.

A strong wind blew. The thick hood snapped off the priest’s head.

A sculptural appearance revealed in the beating sun.

“You’ll be fine now.”

Citizens swallowed their tears. As it was, I prostrated myself in front of the priest.

“Saint… Sir…”

The man bowed his head several times. He gasped and wiped away his tears.

A lot of people could be seen behind the priest’s back. Busy people cleared the rubble and pulled out the humans buried in the dust pit.

Large lifesaving operations.

Those who were treated by him and saved their lives were busy moving. Postponing thanks, they moved to help the other wounded.

“Here too!”

“Take me to the saint!”

“My child! Has anyone seen my child?! Please!”

Amid a grievous moan, the saint held out his hand.

“If you feel better, can you help me?”

The citizen of Garnet who was saved nodded vigorously.

“Of course! Holy saint!”
