I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

After transforming the black umbrella-shaped shield back into the shape of a giant sword, Camisia spoke with a serious expression. The sound of metal that had been heard earlier must have been Camisia blocking the self-sacrificing attack from the "Lance Trout".

After taking a long breath, Ella focused all her attention on searching the terrain. Once she saw someone with HP below 10%, she would immediately run to that person and use healing magic. Perhaps influenced by the messages passed between the soldiers, Ella only needed to stay where she was, and the dying dragons were carried to her one after another. The scale of the healing magic also changed from the initial single-target "elementary healing spell" to "group elementary healing spell".

Not only that, these dragon soldiers also discovered that as long as they stayed by Ella's side - or to be more precise, by the side of the girl with red twin ponytails, who was wearing a very conspicuous and luxurious white dress even though she was on the battlefield, they would not be harmed. However, these soldiers did not move closer to Ella in order to get a moment's rest, as if they had agreed in advance. Instead, they moved away from Ella, leaving more wounded there. It was not until they found that there were too many wounded and they had occupied at least 15 meters of the city wall that they realized something was wrong and assigned a team composed mainly of shield warriors to guard Ella.

This lasted for about five minutes.

"Captain! Something's happening!"

A soldier, his body covered in blood, had an expression of extreme fear on his face. He didn't even care about his own defense and crawled on the city wall.

Sensing something was amiss, the man known as the leader frowned.

In the name of his superb defensive skills, he was responsible for the guarding of the south city wall for three days. Now, the shield warrior team he led was protecting the foreign king. Something that could make the soldiers so frightened even though they knew it was the case must be the highest level of alert - for example.

"A giant dragon has appeared in Brorickz!"

Things developed just as he had imagined, and the team leader's face darkened.

"What exactly?"

"Only this one sentence!"

"Tsk."

Due to the active period of sea beasts, the only way to transmit messages between islands is through "communication" magic. The biggest disadvantage of "communication" magic is the accuracy of the message and the distance it can be transmitted.

How many are there?

Adult or not?

These are all related to the level of rescue. If there are more than two adult dragons, they can still deal with it in peacetime, but in this emergency, the only choice is to abandon the branch island Brorickz - that is an enemy that even the Dragon King finds difficult to defeat, not to mention that the Dragon King is not on the main island, but is helping in the western branch island farther away from the northern Brorickz.

In other words, no matter what happens on Brorickz now, the main island cannot provide support.

The bitter taste spread from the tip of his tongue to his entire body, and the leader let out a low sigh of pain.

"Ugh...give up Broly--"

"Don't you believe me, Camisia?"

"I know you're very powerful—but my duty is to protect your safety."

"But we had a promise earlier, didn't we? If I get hurt, I'll stay in the Demon Realm and learn about internal affairs until I reach adulthood and can summon followers."

After Ella finished speaking, a long moment passed before Camisia, after some hesitation, agreed with a serious look on her face.

"...Okay, but if you really get hurt, please don't hold back. Dean and I will handle all the follow-up."

"Yeah, trust me, I won't get hurt with the magic shield."

Ella opened three transparent magic shields at once without reservation, grasped the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment tightly in her palm, and made a promise to Camisia with the gazes of countless soldiers around her as the background.

There are still two sisters that I rescued on the branch island Brorickz. If I let the people I rescued just disappear, I will be in trouble. Besides, Camisia cannot use her abilities here. If I deal with the dragon that kills humans without permission, how much experience will Camisia gain?

The combination of these two purposes prompted Ella to send Camisia to the branch island of Brorickz.

Taking a deep breath, as if warning the surrounding soldiers to protect Ella, Camisia glanced at everyone around with a majestic look, performed the highest etiquette of the demon clan to Ella, jumped up with the help of magic power, turned into a red meteor and gradually disappeared in the sky.

Ella let out a light breath and looked at the captain holding a two-man tall shield tower.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing... Thank you very much for your help. I will pass on the message to His Majesty Phoebus."

"Ahahaha... that's not necessary."

Ella smiled back at the leader, who had a complicated expression on his face, and clapped her hands.

"Well then, I have to get to work now, basic group healing—"

boom! ——

The loud bang was loud enough to make the city walls tremble, and Ella's shaking feet even forced her to rely on the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment to stand firm. If the man next to her had not used the shield tower to block her in time, she would have been sent flying out of the city wall with just the first impact.

"What's wrong!"

"Yes, it's Jörmungandr!"

"What's the level?"

"Judging from the number of levels... forty... forty..."

“How could—”

hiss--

Before the captain could finish his words, a giant python with a body length of over 60 meters and a head as big as a house appeared on the top of the city wall. Its golden eyes, which occupied one-third of its entire head, emitted a ferocious light, as if licking Ella and the others in front of it.

“…This is troublesome…”

Ella murmured, trying to suppress the trembling of her legs.

Chapter 85 Crazy Fireworks on the Island

*创世纪6187年1月8日 下午14：21分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

"Run! Use the large magic cannon! We'll have five minutes to recharge!"

After a moment of silence, the captain immediately let out a roar loud enough to shake the air, but this action also ignited the originally silent battlefield.

hiss--!

The unique sound of snakes spitting out their venom was heard, and coupled with the moist air, Ella felt as if her ears were being licked by some disgusting mollusk.

"Jormungandr" is not a rare species in "F.Wing". It is better to say that it is a monster that any novice player will challenge. The first copy that appears in the novice mission is Jormungandr and its clan, the Midgard Serpent. However, in "F.Wing", both Jormungandr and its lower-level species, the Midgard Serpent, are much higher in level than in this world, and the skills they possess are not so simple.

Normally, although Jörmungandr's size was very scary, Ella could easily deal with it with just a thirteenth-level magic "Hymn of the Six Elements". Even the experience points obtained were so low that the increase was completely invisible. Not to mention the materials it dropped, which were even lower than angel crystals. Even a hamster-type player like herself would not bother to pick them up.

But in this world, Jörmungandr becomes a monster that requires hundreds of ordinary soldiers to deal with.

[Is it best to use magic that inflicts lacerations against Jörmungandr?... If it's the large magic cannon I saw earlier, even if it's not very compatible, a head shot would still deal significant damage. I just don't know how powerful Jörmungandr's attacks are...]

Of the people currently standing before him, only the man holding the giant shield tower was level 35, while the rest of the shield warriors were only levels 10-20. If Jörmungandr simply used his physical strength to charge, with more than 20 warriors forming a shield wall, he could barely withstand an attack. However, if he used the innate magic of "Slow" that could slow a person down, or "Torrential" that was known for its impact, then among the people present, only this level 35 shield warrior could temporarily hold them off.

The premise of delaying the opponent is to use various kinds of strengthening magic and use magic shield to help resist attacks.

Although Angelica had been helpless against his own magic shield in the Holy Academy before, that was because Angelica did not use any skills and relied solely on physical strength to attack. In a normal battle, using the full force of Angelica after going berserk, she could definitely penetrate two magic shields in an instant - in the healer state.

However, this also means that the situation is not completely crushing now. As long as the soldiers can hold out until the magic cannon is activated, it will be no problem to severely damage Jörmungandr.

[Reloading the magic cannon takes five minutes... That's a bit difficult...]

While praying in her heart for the soldiers in front of her, Ella gripped the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment tightly.

Of course, I can choose to run away at this time, but if I do so, no matter whether these people survive or not, I will not have the courage to come to Dragon Island again. These people choose to stay here just to protect me. Running away without doing anything is not a choice I would make, not to mention that I still have the identity of the Demon Queen.

"put!"

The sound of arrows piercing the air could be heard from the walls on both sides. These were not ordinary arrows meant for use against people, but countless arrows tied in a row for city defense crossbows, specially designed to destroy large siege equipment. Even shield towers embedded with steel would be easily shattered.

But Jörmungandr's scales are stronger.

Ding, ding.

The arrows hit the scales, splashing countless sparks, but the "low-level appraisal" only showed less than 10 points of damage. The attack of the city defense crossbow could hardly penetrate the scales of Jörmungandr.

"Tsk, it's not working after all—Switch to a circular formation! Buy time to refill the magic cannon!"

"coming!"

As if angered by the attack of the city defense crossbow, Jörmungandr, who had been watching the people on the city wall in a joking manner, tilted his head slightly backward and, at an angle like a bird diving, slammed his snake head, which was as big as a house, into the soldiers who had no time to change formation.

This is also the most common attack method used by Jörmungandr besides strangling the enemy with his body. If Jörmungandr is allowed to directly crash into the city wall, a gap will definitely be created, which will not only risk causing the wall to collapse, but also hinder subsequent defensive tasks.

"Damn it, 'Fortress'!"

Lifting a massive shield tower two men tall, the captain roared as he charged towards the soldiers from the side. His left foot, slightly bent in front, and his right foot placed slightly behind him as a support to prevent being knocked away, assumed a perfect defensive stance thanks to the "Fortress".

Even so, no one present thought that the captain could withstand Jörmungandr's attack. The visual contrast was too strong, as if humans were trying to stop the giant's actions with their own physical abilities.

Holding the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment horizontally, which was nearly as tall as a person, Ella immediately added strengthening magic to the leader.

『Strength Enhancement』

『Iron Wall Strengthening』

Power Blessing

Magic Shield Triple

The enhanced magic and magic shield instantly flew to the captain in front through several soldiers in the middle.

boom--

The magic shield in the front didn't even last for a second, making a crisp sound like breaking glass, and shattered easily in the blink of an eye.

Then came the second magic shield, and just like the previous one, it disappeared from the world without any effect at all - the impact of Jörmungandr was much stronger than the "Death Aura" used by the Nest Beetles in the Holy Academy.

In the end, the third layer of magic shield was shattered by Jörmungandr's inky black head. In front of everyone's eyes, it impacted the captain's shield tower with unstoppable force.

boom.

“Ugh!”

"Captain!"

"hateful!"

A violent tremor, no less violent than the one that initially shook the city walls, struck the ground, as if a truck loaded with mud and sand had hit it head-on at high speed. The captain, along with his shield tower, flew into the air, and finally fell onto the jagged guardrails of the city wall with the clanging sound of his armor. Judging from the complete lack of movement, he must have lost consciousness.

It's not that the captain's strength at level 35 is too weak. Normally, even if there is a 5-level gap between level 40 and level 35, the two sides will not be in a one-sided situation. The reason for this result now is, first, because of the natural power gap between humans and monsters, and second, the captain does not have enough time to mobilize all his magic power. If it were not for protecting the soldiers in the front who did not have time to reorganize the lineup, the captain alone could hold off Jörmungandr for a long enough time.

"How long will the magic cannon last?"

"Four minutes!"

"There's still four minutes left!"

"Calm down! With Her Majesty the Demon King here, the Captain will recover quickly. The second wave of attacks is coming!"

The soldiers inside the circle thrust their spears outward, while the soldiers on the outside formed a wall of shields, blocking Ella's way—or, more accurately, blocking the magic cannon a few meters behind Ella.

Feeling the magic power gradually filling up the magic cannon, the pupils of the golden snake of Jörmungandr shrank slightly, and its bright red tongue, which was several meters wide, kept swinging back and forth in the air. Then, as if to drive away flies, it slammed its huge head heavily on the city wall, forming a depression, and then moved its snake head horizontally to sweep away the soldiers on it.

The sound of shattering stone slabs accompanied by huge dust appeared on the top of the city. The jagged guardrails were completely useless and were crushed to the ground with the momentum of a house of cards under the violent sweep of Jörmungandr. If someone looked down from a high altitude at this moment, they would find that the place where Ella was was like it was detonated by high explosives, and the ochre dust and fine gravel rushed straight into the sky.

Under the force of a natural disaster, the dragon soldiers had no room for maneuver. As long as they were slightly touched by Jörmungandr, their shields would be shattered, their spears would be broken, and they would be swept into the air, disappearing in the rising dust without even being able to scream.

The thirty-meter-high city wall was shattered as if it had been bitten by some giant creature, leaving a broken area of ​​nearly twenty meters.

Swallowing a mouthful of non-existent saliva, Ella looked at the terrain search.

From the terrain search, it can be seen that countless soldiers fell from the city wall, but when they landed, they were caught by other soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news with wind magic. Even those who were seriously injured and on the verge of death were treated by military doctors or priests - magic was extremely useful at this time. In the original world, these people would have gone to another world long ago.

The only people he could see now were the soldier behind him who was responsible for loading the magic cannon and the captain who had been knocked to the wall by Jörmungandr. As for why he was fine now, it was because Jörmungandr's body stretched out on the wall did not reach this corner. However, even so, if he had not subconsciously taken a step back before, he would have suffered the same fate as those soldiers - been swept off the wall.

The large magic cannon fixed on the city wall behind him tilted due to the collapse of the surrounding area, but the soldiers in charge of controlling it continued to put magic cores into it, nervously manipulating the magic circuit, and sweat mixed with mud and sand flowed down the soldiers' cheeks.

Ella held the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment tightly in her hand while keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings.

In fact, if Jörmungandr didn't use magic and only relied on his physical body, even he could - probably, probably could block it. As long as he relied on the superposition of several "strength enhancements", it would not be difficult to keep the numerical strength equal. But the problem was how to explain it. A girl who looked like a healer actually blocked Jörmungandr's charge casually. No matter how you look at it, it would make people suspicious.

As for the option of changing roles on the spot, it was even more impossible. If he changed his appearance in front of the soldiers, the first person he would suspect would be the Dragon King Fuos. Fuos had seen the appearance of his elf subordinate 'Entalosphir'. Although he did not seem to doubt his connection with 'Entalosphir' after these two meetings, as long as he knew that he could change his appearance, he would definitely suspect himself - forcibly snatching something from the hands of a country's leader and using violence against him, the consequences would be serious no matter how you look at it.

In comparison, the former seems easier to explain. As long as the excuse is placed on the previous generation of Demon King, whether it is the use of special props or miracles under pressure, they are all things that cannot be proven. No one has studied the Demon King's bloodline, or it is better to say that there is no sample research. Even Iris would honestly believe it, just like accepting the result that she would not be affected by her "Freya's Eye".

"But this is based on the premise that Jörmungandr can't use magic..."

Ella muttered softly, glancing at the soldiers behind her.

"How long will it take?"

"Two, no, one minute, Madam Demon Queen, please seek refuge! Your duty as a healer has ended!"

"Ahh... one minute."

While continuously adding "Strength Boost" to himself in the non-chanting mode, he walked over to the unconscious leader, put the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment into storage, and after briefly testing the weight of the shield tower, he picked up the fallen shield tower.

[Is your current strength still some distance away from Jörmungandr... Then let's "strength increase."]

The numerical power increased at an extremely unhealthy rate. At the same time, Ella could feel the magic power filling her body decreasing. This feeling of even the body producing feedback was something that did not exist in "F.Wing".

The dust floating in the air gradually fell, the vision began to become clear, and the strength value reached a level that surpassed Jörmungandr, but this came with the complete depletion of magic power.
