I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 164

164 – Demon King Belphegor (3)

Demon King Belphegor (3)

The first thing the party of warriors who managed to escape from the spider web maze where the water began to drain and they were all swept away was the moment when the Legion Commander First was piercing the heart of Lacrima.

To be honest, I had no idea what was going on.

‘One thing is certain… … .’

Lacrima pierced through the heart.

Robeno, who was in a state of total bruises, was kneeling next to her and looking down at Lacrima with a blank expression.

Even the First looked down at Robeno with a puzzled expression.

‘This is not a good situation… … .’

There is nothing that is not the worst.

Not only did he chase after Lacrima, who had escaped, but her heart was pierced before he could even explain the situation.

And Robeno is looking down at such a Lacrima, and First is looking down at such a Robeno.

We cannot hastily assess who is the enemy and who is the ally.

It is highly likely that Robeno also does not know that Lacrima and Esmeralda have made a pact.

I didn’t have time to explain it, and even if I had, I don’t know if it would have been understood.

But one thing is certain… … .

“Hero, Esmeralda… … . I heard you were dead, but I guess not. Second, your injuries are serious, so I will step forward.”

It is certain that the Legion Commander First is the enemy.

The moment Esmeralda met his eyes, she immediately drew her holy sword.

and…….

“Huh?!”

Esmeralda rolled on the floor with such force that it felt as if she had been struck by something invisible, as if by the holy sword held straight up.

When Esmeralda, who had been rolling around on the floor, raised her head again and the other party members began to take their positions.

[Name: First]

[Race: Vampire] [Title: Legion Commander, Transcendent, Demigod]

[List of characteristics]

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 2706]

Esmeralda could be certain that the Legion Commander First was definitely more than just a simple creature.

So, can we win?

‘If I can’t win this, I won’t be able to reach the Demon King in the first place!’

I don’t think so.

Not discussing the possibility.

Just do it. If you don’t, you won’t be able to accomplish anything in the first place.

Esmeralda calmly raised her sword, and First raised his hand while looking at her with an expressionless face.

Esmeralda could see drops of blood on his fingertips.

‘With just that few drops of blood… … .’

It was a terrible shock that made me feel like my hand holding the Holy Sword would fall off.

The only thing that gave that much shock was a single drop of blood.

If you think about the fact that blood flow manipulation, which can be called a common power of vampires, increases in power depending on the amount of blood, it is already bleak.

“Milia, focus on defense with Irina.”

“……huh.”

Originally, Millia was supposed to provide firepower support from the rear.

However, I had a feeling that First’s attack wouldn’t be able to be blocked by Irina’s barrier alone.

A bleak situation. Nevertheless, the moment when Esmeralda decides to twist her body and conquer the First.

“You… … You, what on earth have you done… … ?”

Robeno, who had been looking down at the fallen Lacrima, came to his senses and muttered in despair.

It was so sudden.

It was a terrible tragedy.

The sudden appearance of the First, his nonchalant actions, and the calm voice that followed.

Yes, he doesn’t know. Even though they’ve been fighting together in the Demon King’s army for so long, he can’t even imagine what Lacrima means to Robeno.

A vampire lacking emotions.

A heretic within a race closer to a monster than a demon. The fact that he thought of that monster as a comrade even for a moment was the cause of his trouble.

No, no. That wasn’t it.

That wasn’t the only reason why Robeno was angry now.

The person he was angry at was… … .

A relaxed self.

“under!”

Robeno burst into laughter.

And then he quietly hugged Lacrima, who had fallen to the floor.

Life spreading red in a puddle of water on the floor.

It was a fatal wound.

Yes, Lacrima dies. With this level of damage, regeneration is impossible.

“Hahahahahaha! This is why I didn’t like you… … You fucking impersonating monster.”

“Can it happen? Second.”

As he stood up, Robeno simultaneously swung his claws at First.

However, First simply avoided the attack by nodding his head and muttered as if he still couldn’t understand.

“What does this mean?”

***

Robeno attacked First. How should we take that fact?

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 2001]

Esmeralda could tell immediately from the information she saw that Robeno had climbed over the wall.

It means that he has succeeded in standing on the same stage as First, a level that Shiva could not reach even after dedicating his entire life to.

If so, that’s good.

Because it involves valid power.

However, Esmeralda couldn’t be sure if that would really be a blessing.

“Are you confused? Second. You’d better calm down.”

“Shut up and die! You fucking monster!”

“I don’t understand.”

First of all, you can see it just by looking at First’s awkward response, not understanding Robeno’s anger.

Robeno is no match for First. Even if they are in the same area, he is still far behind.

Moreover, since my physical condition is not good, I can do nothing but throw a tantrum.

“First… … Do you even know who you killed? You just killed Lacrima.”

“Lakrima? I don’t know. Who is that? Did I accidentally kill your subordinate? Then I apologize. I was flustered too.”

“Lacrima is talking about the Third. You really didn’t have any interest in us… …!”

“Third? Wasn’t it Kyung who struck him down? It was Kyung’s mistake to not kill him and let him live, but it can’t be said to be my mistake. Rather, wasn’t it Kyung who fixed Kyung’s mistake?”

“shut up!!”

A chill runs down the back of my neck.

Everyone present could understand.

First, it seemed as if he really had no idea.

No, it’s not that he doesn’t notice. He just doesn’t understand.

A monster that imitates humans.

Isn’t this truly a fair assessment?

“How about we stop? If it’s a battle of ranks, I can accept it later. But remember, we’re at war right now. Second. Stay true to your mission.”

“Ha… … ! Hahahahahaha!”

First, who blocked Robeno’s sharp blow with a light twist of his wrist, spoke with a calm expression.

“Why do you follow the Demon King?”

“… … ?”

“I asked why you, who don’t even understand emotions, follow the Demon King.”

“That’s only natural. I just follow the rules of force.”

“So that’s what you were imitating. You were putting yourself in an ill-fitting suit called the rules.”

“… … .”

First only tilted his head in confusion at Robeno’s verbal abuse, and did not show any sign of anger or displeasure.

“I see. Should I consider Kyung-eun as a betrayer now? It seems that it wasn’t a mistake to not kill Third and instead let him live in the first place.”

“It was you who betrayed me. First. You had no justification or conviction to participate in this war in the first place!”

Robeno repeated his attacks over and over again without any effect.

First was able to evade all of those attacks by just slightly moving his body, and was able to inflict fatal damage on Robeno just by extending his hand.

And from that point on.

Bang!

Esmeralda concluded.

And having come to her conclusion, she immediately intervened between the two.

It wasn’t like walking on thin ice. She had to risk her life just by coming between the two of them.

“Get out, warrior. I don’t have time to play with you right now.”

“You don’t seem to understand the topic.”

From noble mtl dot nete

“Well, it’s a bit awkward being among such strong people.”

A mortal caught between two transcendent beings. Like a shrimp getting its back broken in a fight between whales.

Originally, it would have been better to wait until the fight between the two Transcendents was over and try to take advantage of the situation.

But Esmeralda didn’t do that. She knew the outcome of this battle.

Robeno will fail to achieve revenge and will be defeated by the First.

It might be possible to inflict as much damage as you risk your life for.

However, Robeno dies.

You will die in resentment, worthless and without accomplishing anything.

“But what can I do?”

Then Esmeralda asks:

Who is the wronged one?

Who is the relative underdog?

Who needs salvation?

“I am a warrior.”

Needless to say.

Esmeralda decided to help Robeno. No matter what the outcome, she will not give up her convictions.

Because that was the journey. Because I fought against all kinds of irrationality for that.

“Irina!”

“yes?”

Esmeralda screamed.

The goal is not to win.

Esmeralda’s purpose is to save those who are suffering, the relatively weak who cannot resolve their grievances.

Even though I may not understand their suffering, I will not ignore them in their suffering.

“Take Lacrima and cure her!”

Esmeralda immediately picked up the Lacrima lying on the floor and threw it towards Irina.

“Eww?! What if you throw the patient?!”

Irina accepted the Lacrima without thinking. To be exact, she caught the Lacrima that was slowly floating and falling with Milia’s magic.

“Second Mr.. Well, we don’t know each other well, but I’ll say something shamelessly. We’ll try to save Lacrima-san. We have a competent therapist.”

“… … .”

“So, help us conquer the first. With us.”

Robeno narrowed his eyes at the outrageous request.

Even if Esmeralda doesn’t ask for his help, he won’t hesitate to fight the First.

He has already decided on this place as his grave.

But that’s why Esmeralda’s proposal resonated with me.

If I had just stayed still, I could have gotten better results.

But she went through the difficult route to ask for help.

He humbled himself and jumped into the line of fire to save people.

“okay…….”

Robeno stood quietly near Esmeralda and glared at First.

“Trust me just once.”

It means accepting the offer.

It was a positioning choice for a joint attack.

Esmeralda raised the corners of her lips at the sense of security she felt from beside her.

There was something Esmeralda realized after coming to the Demon World.

“Aha! This is really solid.”

The demons also cry when they are sad and laugh when they are happy… … .

Yes, she was someone worth risking her life to protect.
