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

There were a total of six soldiers, including a magic caster. Because they were all ordinary guards with a level below 10, when Ella saw them, Tifarian had easily taken care of three of them.

“Ah! Who are you?!”

The magic caster seemed to be frightened by the sudden appearance of Tifarian and Ella, and was unable to use magic for a while. However, not everyone was as stupid as the magic caster. One of the soldiers hid his body behind a large shield and rushed towards Ella through Tifarian in one breath.

“Haaaa!”

If the soldier had chosen Tifarian, Tifarian would have had no choice but to activate the "Fortress" collision, but unfortunately, he chose Ella.

Raising the Fire Arrow, Ella activated the skill she had originally used against Angelini.

"Magic Shield."

clang!

Like hitting an iron plate, this soldier, whose rank was less than double digits, flew back at a speed even faster than when he came.

"Stun Bomb Triple."

Without any mistakes, the pale yellow stun bomb hit the three people one after another, and they all fell to the ground one after another.

"Walk."

Tifarian waved to Ella. They had used this kind of cooperation several times before, so there was nothing surprising about it.

The two rushed into the opened door. Just like the passage they came from, the layout here was still khaki filled with wooden boxes, but there were three forks in the road in front of them.

"right."

"Um."

"Wait, there's a trap ahead."

Holding Tifarian who was about to rush forward, Ella snapped her fingers.

""Light"."

The blinding white light filled the field of vision, and then the spikes originally hidden in the darkness of the ceiling were exposed. If you rushed in rashly, you would definitely be dealt fatal damage from the top of your head at the first moment.

Tifarian clicked her tongue.

"How many traps are there here?"

"Well, it's just a way to buy time, 'Ice Blade'."

The blue ice blade formed by the arrow of fire shot out at high speed, cutting off the spikes that reflected the metallic light without any hesitation. If the opponent was an inanimate object, Ella could cast any kind of magic, so the trap was just a trick.

Instead of rushing out immediately, Tifarian handed an exquisite wooden box to Ella as if she remembered something.

"This is something I was going to give you at the auction house on her birthday. Although I originally planned to give it to her in person, that's no longer possible after the Black Dragon incident. I'm going to give it to you here first. Once you're done today, leave the capital quickly. We'll see each other again someday."

Seeing Tifarian's flag-raising behavior, Ella couldn't help but frown.

"If we succeed today, won't that man named Sepro fail? Then the capital will be safe, right?"

"At that time, Serpro might choose to counterattack before dying, which would be even more dangerous. The details are not suitable to be explained here. In short, just follow my orders."

"……All right."

After confirming that there was no danger, Tifarian led Ella into the passage on the right. Unlike the places they had passed before, the passage here was paved with fine stone bricks, and the walls were evenly plastered with lime. At the end of the passage was a wooden door reinforced with iron plates. Fortunately, there were no guards on duty at the door - perhaps there were, such as the six people who had just been dealt with.

Tifarian shook her long pink hair and turned back to confirm with Ella. Her orange-red eyes seemed to say, "Is this the place? Is there a trap?" Because the hall behind the door was guarded by powerful soldiers, it would not be wise to speak meaninglessly here.

Ella nodded, and the white ribbon behind her blonde hair trembled, a look that confirmed that there was no trap.

Tifarian, obviously relieved, stepped on the silver boots that Ella had temporarily borrowed and slowly approached the wooden door. After approaching in the eerie silence, she poked the door handle with the tip of her rapier - this was to prevent the touch-triggered magic circle. Tifarian didn't want to make any mistakes at this critical moment.

There was nothing unusual. Tifarian exhaled lightly, and the white mist quickly disappeared in the dry and cold winter air.

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust her state, Tifarian turned around and waved her hand, signaling Ella to hide behind her. Then she half-crouched with her back against the wooden door, turned the door handle with almost silent movements, and opened the door a small gap.

Then maintain this posture for a few seconds, and slowly extend the rapier wrapped in cloth towards the door - this is to prevent someone from hiding behind the door. If you stick your head over at this time, you may be hit by the broadsword's merciless blow, so it is best to test it in advance.

——No abnormalities.

Tifarian retracted her rapier.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Loti was hiding in a passage with no concealment, Tifarian would never have chosen such a risky plan. Rather than spending more time, Tifarian would rather preserve her strength.

In addition to a level 30 person, there are several people close to level 20 and dozens of ordinary soldiers in this room. Compared with his own side - himself at level 24 and Ella at level 19, it is no exaggeration to say that they have an overwhelming advantage. If he had the "Berserk" spell that can increase combat power in a short period of time, it would be fine, but that kind of magic requires the user to have a certain talent to learn. Unlike his sister Luty, he does not have such talent, and the best he can do is to try it once with the medicine "Magic Surge".

However, if he used the drug "Magic Surge" that could enhance his body to the point of near self-destruction, he would become a cripple in the next month. If he could get the news out, it would not be a big deal, but the "Magic Surge" only lasted for a few minutes. It was simply a fantasy to want to end the battle and bring the news to Emperor Tovasan within these few minutes.

Therefore, the final solution was to first hold back the people at level 30 and close to level 20, let Ella use that strange magic to deal with the ordinary soldiers, and then let Ella participate in his own battle, which would be a little better. Considering the high-level magic potions in Ella's hands, the success rate of this strategy would be increased by several percentage points. In other words, if Tifarian hadn't seen those magic potions, she wouldn't even think about fighting.

Thinking of this, Tifarian put her face close to Ella's nose and whispered.

"Magic potion."

Although panic appeared in Ella's eyes for a moment, when she saw Tifarian's outstretched hand, she immediately understood what Tifarian meant. She took out a few bottles of magic potion from the warehouse and handed them to Tifarian.

After weighing it lightly, Tifarian began to peek inside the hall - the people in the room had not yet noticed that the door had been opened. The ordinary soldiers by the wall were taking off their armor, and the higher-level soldiers, who should be close to level 20, were chatting and laughing. Now in front of them stood the invincible level 30 leader, so even after hearing the news of the invasion, they were not nervous at all. Level 30 was difficult to reach even for talented people.

When Tifarian saw the level 30 man, her beautiful orange-red eyes instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

——He exuded the breath of death. To be more precise, he was death itself. The leader was not a living creature, but a deceased person classified as an undead creature. To be more precise, he should be called a high-level skeleton warrior.

Although he was fully equipped with leather armor to facilitate movement, his pale head without any covering revealed his identity. The strange thing was that the soldiers seemed to be accustomed to it and did not show any surprise.

“How could it be… The people of Barris Kingdom can’t even accept demi-humans, so why would they stay with undead creatures…”

What Tifarian didn't know was that these soldiers were originally bandits, and their respect for the strong transcended race. In addition, the skeleton itself was quite intelligent. Apart from not being able to accompany these soldiers for meals and drinks, chatting was not a problem, so it was quickly accepted by everyone. It is worth mentioning that those who did not accept it have already gone to another world.

Now, the skeleton was chatting and laughing with his men.

Swallowing secretly, Tifarian's palms began to sweat, and nervousness rose from the bottom of her heart. It was not because she was afraid of the undead creatures - she had encountered undead creatures countless times when she was an adventurer - she was nervous simply because skeletons were difficult to deal with.

Undead creatures do not feel tired, and skeletons have a natural resistance to thrusting and slashing. For herself who uses a rapier, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are natural enemies. In addition, the equipment around this skeleton - a longsword and a round shield - makes it a difficult opponent to deal with. If Tifarian were to rank all the characters in a table to identify the opponents she least wants to see, apart from the paladin who wears full body armor and a helmet, can use holy magic, and wields a knight's lance and a knight's greatshield, the second place would be the skeleton warrior.

Tifarian couldn't help but recalculate the enemy and our own combat strength, but no matter how she thought about it, she could only use the previous plan - to hold back the level 30 skeleton warriors and the guards close to level 20, and wait for Ella to clean up the ordinary soldiers before coming to assist her.

[At this point, the only option left is to give it a try...]

Having made up her mind, Tifarian no longer hesitated and told Ella her idea with minimal conversation, but all she got was Ella's puzzled reaction of tilting her head.

"Eh? Wouldn't it be better if I dealt with that skeleton? I'm a healer who can use holy magic, you know?"

"You're just a healer after all. Without a complete set of combat combos, you're still a bit underwhelmed. If the skeleton warrior blocks your first attack, you'll be in danger without a backup plan. So, let's just follow my plan."

"Uh, no no, no matter how you look at it, there's no way that skeleton can withstand a single blow, right?"

"No, it's too risky."

"Hmm... In that case, please at least let me take care of those warriors approaching level 20. Tifarian and the skeleton will fight alone for a while. I'll come help you after I've dealt with the small fry."

Looking into Ella's purple eyes—although only a tiny amount, the disguised magic item would constantly consume magic power, so it had been removed—Tifarian hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Well, if you find yourself unable to resist, tell me and I'll quickly take care of the skeletons and come help you later."

"Well, leave it to me."

"Tsk, right now you should leave it to me."

He sighed slightly at Ella who was obviously trying to show off. He now understood why his sister was so obsessed with the little guy in front of her.

Interrupting other thoughts in her mind, Tifarian pressed her hand down.

"Then—let's begin."

Chapter 66 Cutscene

Gaga gaga gaga————

The heavy wooden door, which had not been oiled for a long time, made a harsh sound, but this was something Tifarian had already expected. Now that she had decided to fight, there was no point in keeping quiet without any props such as explosives to suppress the enemy in advance.

The people in the hall turned their eyes to the wooden door one after another. There was no panic in their eyes, but instead a relaxed expression with a teasing hint - it seemed that they regarded Tifarian as a partner on duty.

"How is it? Those people were..."

Halfway through his words, the ordinary soldier saw Tifarian's long pink hair exposed, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"No, who are you!?"

Without answering, Tifarian gripped her weapon tightly and pulled open the wooden door.

The enemy's position had been observed before - the ordinary soldiers were at the right wall of the spacious hall, while the high-level skeleton warriors and the group of soldiers close to level 20 were on the left. The door was on the right side of the hall, so now he was only facing ordinary soldiers. In this case, he should weaken the enemy's combat power before the opponent's high-level warriors joined the battle, that is, use ranged melee non-chanting magic to eliminate the ordinary soldiers. In the current critical situation, deliberately holding back to take care of Ella is a dead end, and using strength without reservation is the right choice.

Tifarian leaned forward slightly, recalling the magic she had used countless times, and recited silently in her heart.

"Flash"

A strike that emphasizes speed, dealing damage to enemies in a straight line at a speed too fast to be seen by the naked eye. If successful, it will wipe out at least three or more soldiers.

but.

boom--

The dull sound of metal hitting the round shield was heard, and what made Tifarian's eyes narrow was that the skeleton warrior who hated the living was blocking her attack with the round shield, and the speed was no less than "Flash".

[Is it 『Instantaneous』... 『Water Acceleration』 shouldn't be this fast.]

Her heart sank as she quickly retracted her rapier and jumped to the side to avoid being chased by the skeleton warriors.

"Telekinesis" is a skill that warriors can learn when they reach level 30, but like "Berserk", people without sufficient talent cannot learn it at all. Although in theory all intelligent creatures can practice magic, when Tifarian discovered that even undead creatures can learn it, she was inevitably a little surprised.

Therefore, the situation has become serious. If the warrior has learned "Instant Movement", then I have to concentrate all my energy on him to barely deal with him. Although the rapier also emphasizes speed, it is still inferior to "Instant Movement".

[Remember, 『Instant Moment』 magic can't be activated continuously. If I can seize this gap to kill him... maybe having a mace nearby would be even better.]

If you have a mace, although you are slightly disadvantaged in speed, you can also deal damage by beating. Although skeleton monsters have a high resistance to stabbing and slashing, the beating of blunt weapons is more effective. Even a slight grazed can cause extremely effective damage.

During this time, Ella also followed Tifarian into the open hall. Since the room was large, it did not seem crowded even with dozens of people. A large number of weapons and armor were piled up in the corner, and daily necessities such as tables and chairs were almost invisible. It was initially judged that it should be a place used for military training.

After the skeleton warrior holding a round shield appeared, the other soldiers came to their senses and immediately retreated to the back, picked up their weapons, and surrounded the skeleton warrior near the door, Tifarian, and Ella in a semicircle.

Putting down the round shield, the skeleton warrior revealed his deep white eye sockets, and his neat teeth kept rubbing back and forth as if he was brewing words.

"Kacha... this looks familiar..."

He has no vocal organs but can speak human language. If you only listen to his voice, no one would think he is an undead creature.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Tifarian had no room to speak. Speaking casually during the confrontation would expose her weaknesses, which is the basis of sword fighting. The reason why the skeleton warrior spoke in a chat tone was simply because he saw clearly that Tifarian was not his opponent.

"Oh~oh, now I remember, isn't this Princess Tifarian?"

The creepy sound rang out again. If the skeleton warrior had a tongue, he would probably lick his lips with it.

A soldier close to level 20, wearing a black chain mail shirt, shouted to the skeleton warrior.

"Boss, what should we do with them?"

"Deal with it... The master has ordered that there is only one way for the intruder to escape, right?"

The skeleton warrior suddenly took a step forward.

——There are absolutely no flaws.

This was Tifarian's first thought. At that moment, she thought of at least three ways of attack, but no matter which one, they would be blocked, just like a city wall without any gaps.

Cold sweat began to flow down her back, and facing the oncoming pressure, Tifarian took a step back.

"Speed ​​Up, Strength Boost, Concentration, Attribute Enhancement, Power Blessing, Perception Enhancement, Iron Wall Strengthening, Holy Blessing, Guardian of Light..."

The murmur from behind reached her ears, and then Tifarian felt an unprecedented sense of fullness. In an instant, the high-level skeleton warriors who had been invincible before became weak. Not only that, the golden rapier also began to reflect the colors of holiness and light.

[Is this... Elelaya's strengthening magic? Why is there such a strong increase? No, now is not the time to think about this.]

Of course, Tifarian was not the only one who discovered that Ella was using enhanced magic. Everyone, including the ordinary soldiers, noticed this scene. The skeleton warriors who originally exuded a casual atmosphere suddenly rushed towards Ella quickly, raised their swords and slashed from top to bottom.

"How could I let you succeed, Light Slash!"

clang!

The swung longsword collided with the horizontal rapier, emitting orange-red sparks.

[Yes! ]

Tifarian was pleasantly surprised. Although she felt a huge force in her hand, the rapier showed no sign of slipping out of her hand. Normally, she would have been knocked back a few steps by this blow, but with the increase in "strength", she only felt a numbness in her palm.

"Leave this to me, you deal with the others!"

"Yes, Tifarian, don't force it."

Ella agreed to Tifarian's request immediately and used the "Holy Pestle" with the Fire Arrow to clear the way and open a gap in the encirclement. The soldiers under Serpro did not want to participate in a battle of Tifarian's level, and cooperated with Ella to lead the melee to the other end of the hall. Only the high-level skeleton warriors and Tifarian were left there.
