Episode 258. Invasion of Carpathia (14)

[9 turns]

“Huh! I definitely didn’t do as you said?”

Luna turned her head to the other side.

Even though you knew how scary [Wind Spear] was, you still act like that. It looks like you’re really really upset.

“Miss Luna, let’s make up!”

“How can we reconcile when we didn’t even fight?”

“Aren’t you pissed!”

“Oh, you’re not mad? I, I’m not that narrow-minded!”

But do you still have a conscience? Luna stuttered.

“Why on earth are you doing this? You need to tell me what I did wrong so I can apologize or something.”

“I don’t know, you idiot!”

Dudada-!

Luna ran forward with a scream and hid behind a rock.

He’s acting up, but he’s still hiding behind a rock, so he shouldn’t be in big trouble.

‘It’s already turn 9.’

Since it’s an odd turn, it’s okay not to hide behind a rock, but Luna’s body is incapable of aerial attacks anyway.

I didn’t waste my turn because I was moving towards where Kroga was.

‘There are four wind bugs left… … .’

Swoosh- swoosh- swoosh!

Basasak-.

No, there are three left, because Regé turned one of the wind bugs to dust.

‘I originally planned to rely on the power of the magic duo, but… … Reze’s performance is beyond my imagination.’

The power to send a wind bug flying in one shot is amazing, but the ‘positioning ability’, also known as positioning, is even more amazing.

The rocks scattered throughout the battlefield aren’t just for our use. Wind bugs can use them too.

“Damn it! You’re hiding behind a rock so deadly!”

“The location is not good. What should I do? Should I move? Or should I wait here until that guy comes out?”

The magic duo was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

Yuridia wasn’t much different. She moved near the rock, but she couldn’t use her magic on the wind bug.

“Eight! If only it weren’t for this rock!”

And this was equally true for Regé.

Tall rocks are the biggest obstacle to sniping.

But rather than hitting the target, he sends them to the afterlife as soon as he shoots them.

The intersection, the obstacles, the direction the enemy is moving, where to position yourself next, etc. You calculate everything and move accordingly.

‘A 100% hit rate is already a fraudulent ability… … but a positioning that allows you to attack the enemy on every turn.’

It would not be an exaggeration to call him a ‘genius of positioning’.

The only problem is that he’s also a genius at running away?

Bam-.

Just as I was finishing my move, something was stepped on under my feet.

It was the remains of a wind bug. It was one that had been killed by Reze’s Manatan.

“… … .”

Someday… … No, is it just my imagination that makes me think that it wouldn’t be strange if I ended up like that right now?

That can’t be true. I’ve been so good to my rabbit!

They gave it food, water, and toilet sand… …but they didn’t change it.

‘Hmm… I guess I’ll have to do a little better next time.’

I’m not doing this because I’m thinking of my life.

It’s only natural to give awards to children who are active.

I should have Scarlett get me some rare carrot seeds.

Of course, if I’m still alive by then.

[10 turns]

It’s already the 10th turn. Now there’s only one way.

Yuridia using [Demon Slave].

I looked at Yuridia with all my hope and love.

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

But Yuridia just clicked her tongue and wiggled her fingers.

It means that it is impossible until reconciliation with Luna is made.

Swoosh- boom!

Reze’s Manatan destroys another wind bug.

Originally, I was planning to get rid of the wind bugs too.

‘The wind bug is thrown away.’

The remaining two can easily be taken out by the duo of Regé and the Mage.

What I need to do now is somehow reconcile with Luna and make Yuridia use [Demon Slave].

“… … .”

When I looked at Luna, she quickly turned her head away from me, glancing in my direction.

Luna also seemed to know that I was coming, so she was slowing down her movements as much as possible.

I waited calmly for Luna to finish moving. And after a while.

“You slow-witted bastards! Die!”

Kroga, who could no longer bear it any longer, announced the casting of [Wind Spear].

No, can’t you just wait for about 3 hours?

There’s a time limit on turns. This is a really fucking game.

Knock-!

Luna kicked the ground towards the rock in front of her.

I followed her right away.

The wind was a bit ominous. [Extrasensory] was also constantly alerting me to danger.

There’s nothing I can do. Since it’s come to this…

Zero, roll!

Roll, roll, roll-.

Tukwakwakwakwak!!

As I rolled along the ground, wind spears struck me one after another.

Crunch!

[Super Sense] became quiet when the wind spear was embedded in the rock.

We arrived safely at the safe zone.

‘Whew… … I barely survived. Huh?’

I didn’t even have to struggle to get up. Luna grabbed me by the collar and forcibly lifted me up.

“Hey! Are you crazy? What if you die like that?!”

“Haha, if Luna had moved a little faster, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t do stalking things?”

It’s not me who’s the stalker, it’s you, Luna.

Perhaps realizing that she had finally met my gaze, Luna let go of my collar and turned her head.

“Miss Luna, tell me now. Why are you upset?”

“No? You’re not upset? You’re not upset at all?”

But he didn’t meet my gaze until the very end. His eyes even started to water.

“By any chance… … is it because I am close to Lady Reje?”

Luna’s body shook violently.

Yes, actually I had figured out why Luna was upset.

‘To be exact, it’s not just because of Reze. It’s probably because I’m close with other kids.’

Rodelin, Alex, Raymond, Teron, Dyke, Yuridia, Victoria, Adonis, and even Regye, who he considered his friend.

The number of people talking has increased considerably. That means the time spent talking to Luna has inevitably decreased.

Eventually, the thought that ‘I might lose my friend’ continued to torment Luna, and it exploded this time.

Well, Yuridia’s hint helped a little. Just a little.

“Yeah, I did! I told you two to be friends! But… … .”

Tears flowed from Luna’s eyes.

“I didn’t tell you to be closer to me, you idiot… … .”

That’s what it was.

Why wasn’t I noticing that my whole body was sending signals that I wasn’t feeling well, signals that I was upset?

“I wish you had told me.”

“How could that be? This is because my personality is like a beggar.”

The reason I have a lot of friends is because I’m good.

Did Luna think that the reason she didn’t have many friends was because she was incompetent?

Maybe Luna was trying hard to be pouty instead of hitting.

Please notice that I am strange. Please come and talk to me.

Let people know that I am their real friend, their first friend.

“Hey, let’s go first. We don’t have time for this. We need to catch the devil quickly.”

Luna frantically wiped away the tears that were flowing down her face, but the tears would not stop.

Okay, I get it now.

It was all my fault for being so oblivious.

“I’m jealous too.”

“huh?”

“Doesn’t Miss Luna have a friend? A friend named Miss Reje.”

He raised his hand and wiped the tears flowing from Luna’s eyes.

“Me and Luna. Our friends will continue to increase in the future. The time we spend with each other may decrease.”

“… … I guess so.”

“But nothing changes. Luna and I will always be friends… … .”

“Are you a friend?”

“We are each other’s first friends. That will never change no matter how many friends we have.”

“… … !”

Yes, Luna is my first friend.

And Luna was my first friend, too. I made friends in the game world.

He was my first friend and a precious colleague.

Luna quickly wiped away her tears, perhaps realizing the fact.

“Who, who doesn’t know that? What’s the big deal about saying something like that in the middle of a battle! Are you really an idiot?”

“Hehe, I just wanted to tell you. I might die this time.”

“Idiot! Idiot! Who would die! Who would leave someone like that?”

Luna hugged me tightly, as if she would never lose me.

“… … Don’t even think about dying without my permission. Do you understand?”

“Haha, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Behind Luna. From far away, Yuridia could be seen giving a thumbs up.

Tears and nosebleeds were pouring out.

With the mouth shape that says, ‘Love is beautiful after all.’

“Miss Luna.”

“why?”

“Are we reconciled now?”

“What? We didn’t fight from the beginning? Real friends don’t fight!”

As expected, our Luna is so cool and refreshing.

He hugged Luna and smiled at Yuridia, sending a signal.

[Turn 11]

Yuridia closed her eyes and entered into concentration.

“You who are darker than the pitch-black darkness. You who are redder than the blood flowing in my body… … .”

It has begun.

The casting of [Demon Slave].

* * *

Zone 3.

Several children wearing priest’s garb were carrying the wounded along with the soldiers.

“Victoria, we have secured the casualty.”

“Move him to a safe place and get him treated. If his injuries are serious, call me.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

But Victoria’s gaze had been looking to the left for a long time.

The place where the Theronites and the Eurydiaites were located. To be exact, it was in the area of ??District 1 and District 2.

Victoria could feel the divine power.

“Hmm~ It’s full of evil energy. It’s definitely the devil who has appeared.”

Victoria frowned behind her fan.

Although he is engaged in a power struggle with Teron and Yuridia, they are also citizens of the empire that he must protect.

I couldn’t just leave him to die.

Above all, each and every Victorian priest is capable of handling divine power.

It will be of great help in the fight against the devil.

But I couldn’t move around without orders.

‘Where did the commander go at such a crucial time? I’ve heard he’s incompetent… …but this is even more incompetent than I could have imagined.’

He is the principal of Annwood Academy and is in charge of conducting the first year students.

Don Quixote of this world, Dwenner.

But now, his appearance was nowhere to be found.

-Hey, where is this guy going! Over there, over there!

The last sight of him was him being dragged into the forest without being able to get off his horse… … no, he was being dragged.

‘There really is a limit to incompetence. If only Adonis had been here, I could have done something about it… … .’

It’s not like there was no way to contact Adonis.

But I couldn’t rely on Adonis, because he was currently preventing erosion.

Kwarung-!

The occasional lightning strikes from the castle told me that a fierce battle was unfolding.

‘To be honest… … If I had to choose between the lives of Annwood Academy students and the defense of Carpathia, anyone would choose Carpathia.’

The Carpathians were a strategic location. The clever Victoria could not have been unaware of this.

Victoria bit her fingernails without even thinking about her manners.

‘Now that Adonis is gone, it is I, Victoria, who must protect the children.’

I must fulfill my duty as a princess to protect and care for the people of the empire.

However, it was also impossible to empty the assigned area. There was no choice but to send the minimum number of personnel.

After finishing her calculations, Victoria gave instructions.

“Dispatch five people each to districts 1, 2, and 4.”

“Fifteen people? If we do that, the defenses here will be compromised.”

“Grades are important, but they are not more important than the lives of children. Even if they are enemies.”

“As expected, Victoria… … . I will follow your orders.”

About 13 minutes had passed since then.

A huge flame rose in front of the Victorian formation.

That wasn’t all. Firebugs with their entire bodies burning appeared here and there in the fields!

The sight of the fields burning was truly spectacular.

“Hahahahaha! You humans! Beg for your life… …Huh?”

The third demon, Balamga, the demon of fire.

He rubbed his eyes with both hands as if he couldn’t believe it. But nothing changed.

‘Are you priests…?’

Yes, anyone could tell they were priests.

Not only the priestly attire, but also the divine power that was in opposition to magic was gushing out from their bodies.

“Um… … Um… … Hello. My name is Balam.”

The devil greeted him politely. The children responded happily.

Each of them takes out a weapon.

Clang- clang-.

Swords, spears, axes, maces, and other weapons were in their hands.

Gaia, the goddess worshipped by Seongguk, is a goddess who encourages violence rather than prevents it.

It was only natural that children who followed the doctrine of the goddess would carry deadly weapons.

Victoria did the same. She took the whip out of her bosom.

A top-quality whip made by flaying a demon’s skin, then purifying, polishing, and blessing it.

Balamga, seeing this, spoke with the utmost courtesy.

“I… I think I took the wrong route. Is it okay if I pass by?”

Victoria’s answer to that was simple.

When I came in, I was free to do whatever I wanted.

“It’s not time to go out.”

Cholap-!
