Inside An Ad**t Game As A Former Hero - Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 173

If there is one thing that the demons are picky about, they are the priests.

It was not difficult at all to heal with divine power after inflicting a hard wound, and if you tried to interfere with the treatment, the evil energy of the demons was pushed away with the divine power.

So the demons made a decision.

Let’s dry the seeds of the priests.

Holy Land, Atlia.

The land of blessings loved by God, Mary and other gods.

It is for this reason that the place where the main school of various temples is located was surrounded by a large army of ten thousand.

Because Atlia was a place that consistently produced high-quality priests.

It was decided that the number of priests would drastically decrease if the place was destroyed. The judgment was not wrong, and the human side reacted quickly to the movements of the Demon King.

They hadtily dispatched the warriors and began to organize the reinforcements.

But…

“Damn, what’s so much?”

An army of tens of thousands of people with high-quality equipment.

Ogres, Drakes, Wyverns, and other high-level monsters were also mixed in.

No matter how brave Han Ji-soo was, it was a burdensome number.

Such an army was marching towards the gates of Atlia.

The strength of Han Ji-soo’s palm rested on the fortress wall.

Currently, the number of soldiers that can be mobilized in the Holy Land Atlia is 3,000.

It cannot be said that it is a small number, but it is true that it is shabby compared to the amount of work.

On the other hand, the opponent is an elite soldier, while this one is a citizen who has been summoned in half. Even if the quality of the soldiers is pushed, the fight will not be established.

“Hero, what should I do?”

The high priest looked at the approaching demon king army and asked.

“What? We’ll have to close the gates and hold on until reinforcements arrive. Mercury ready.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The high priest left to give orders to the other soldiers.

Han Ji-soo looked outside and sharpened her teeth.

‘Damn it.’

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t see a future where I can safely succeed in Mercury. On the other hand, the sight of the gates being opened and the soldiers and citizens being trampled on easily came to mind.

That imagination became clearer as the demon king army got closer.

‘…I won’t let them all die.’

priests…

If not, at least the Pope and the High Priests must be taken alive. Even if the soldiers, citizens, and his companions were to die. Only with them can we produce new priests.

‘colleague…’

When she thought that her colleagues might die, Jisoo Han felt her heart swell. I slapped my cheeks as I tried to calm my mood in the darkness and came to my senses.

‘I knew it would be like this one day.’

I admit they are strong. He admits that he is the hero of the century. But being strong doesn’t mean you can survive the war.

Because the place where your neck is blown away is the battlefield.

It was time for him, who somehow calmed his mind, to participate in the preparations for Mercury. His eyes reflected someone jumping off the wall.

“ash!”

Someone was Ash. She jumped off the wall with her silky blonde hair, and drew her sword while facing the Demon King.

“Hey, Ash! What are you doing right now, don’t come up soon!”

“I can’t.”

“What”

“Maria told me. Don’t hide behind walls, but come forward and fight the evil with pride. That’s why I can’t go up!”

“What kind of bullshit!”

Goddess, Mary said

Even the Pope couldn’t hear the goddess’ voice, so there’s no way she, who is just the commander of the Holy Knights, can hear it.

Even if it were true, what could she do alone against that great army?

Han Ji-soo raised her head and stared at the Demon King. They were getting closer even at this moment.

“Ash, you stupid bastard! Don’t be nervous and come up!!”

Normally she would have followed him, but not now. He stood in front of the gate and did not move as if he was really going to act on behalf of the goddess.

“That’s real..!”

What do we do

Do I have to forcefully pull it up?

Contemplating, he shook his head.

He was the one who knew Ash’s stubbornness better than anyone. No matter how I dragged it by force, it was obvious that I would jump back down again.

‘I’d rather go down with Asgart and Felix and guard the gates’

With their backs to the gates and the support of Gerald and Alipid, it might be possible to survive.

That was when he was thinking of such a tactic.

– Whoa, whoa!

A terrifying cry was heard. Han Ji-soo turned her head to find the source of the sound.

The rear of the Demon King’s army.

Three tattered dragons soared through the sky, crying with their torn vocal cords.

Zombie Dragon.

The moment he saw them, he let go of the string of reason he had been holding on to.

“Zombie dragons… these bastards came here with a purpose…”

It doesn’t matter how the top monster, the Dragon, turned into a zombie. The important thing is that the dragon’s breath will melt the walls or gates.

that’s all

Humans melted in the breath become undead and will bite and look at all living creatures in sight.

A situation in which the death of a fellow member is not enough, so he resurrects as an undead and attacks himself.

There won’t be any Abi Gyu-hwan.

‘It’s over.’

Even the only strength of the wall was gone. We lose this war. Atlia will be ravaged by them.

You can’t even escape because you’re surrounded.

everyone will die

Han Ji-soo closed her eyes.

It was a moment of relief to know that a life that had only been difficult had come to an end.

His fists began to tremble.

What fills my chest is not relief, but sorrow.

‘I wanted to win.’

I wanted to win the war because it had become like this. I wanted to shake off the anger that I had suppressed by breaking the demon king’s neck by hand.

‘I wish I could keep it.’

People who trust and depend on even such a weak warrior. I wanted to protect them. I worked tirelessly to keep it.

But all those efforts were in vain.

He is powerless and has no power to stop that great army.

It was time for Han Ji-soo to sharpen her teeth with resentment.

“What are you doing with your eyes closed, are you going to sleep?”

A rough hand patted his back. When I turned around, Asgat was looking down at him with puzzled eyes.

“What, you’re not sleeping, why are you closing your eyes?”

“…yes, I don’t know.”

Han Ji-soo bluntly waved Asgat’s hand. Suddenly, he looked at his colleagues who had gathered around him and said.

“Flee west as soon as the battle begins. If you’re the only one, it’d be possible to break through the siege and run away. It will not be easy.”

“Run away…”

Asgat stroked his chin with a dissatisfied expression.

“What do you think?”

“I have to stay.”

Felix narrowed his brow.

“What do you mean by that? The hero must evacuate.”

“It’s impossible. If I run away, they will leave everything behind and come after me.”

“Then there is no need to run away. If you run away, the army will not be dispersed to chase you. Then the probability that Atlia will survive increases.”

Alipid said, twisting her hair with her fingers.

“I think this city can survive without me.”

“…that’s it.”

“If you understand, go ahead. It will buy you a couple of days.”

Han Ji-soo drew her sword. But despite his words, his colleagues did not move. Rather, he drew a staff, a bow, and a sword and began to arm himself.

“Go away, what are you doing?”

“The sound of being decapitated in the square to return without a hero”

Gerald said as he drew an arrow.

“Say I did it. The Emperor will understand my character, too.”

“You will understand. Then I’ll put on a dog collar. And I will treat you like a dog.”

“…I hope so.”

“It will. The Emperor is such a person.”

“Do not insult His Majesty! The same meaning as his lower sea-”

Alipid covered Felix’s mouth with a silence magic.

“He protects the emperor even in this kind of situation. In any case, the emperor takes good care of dogs.”

“..!!!”

“I can’t hear anything, so I’ll try harder.”

Alipid, who puts a palm on one ear and raises her hand, and Felix who trembles at him.

Looking at the sketch, Han Ji-soo sighed.

“I want to die, so I change my mind. Do whatever you want.”

He turned to face the demon king again. The march of the Demon King, clad in black armor, looked as if the waves of death were approaching. Han Ji-soo breathed mana into the sword.

“Then we’ll see each other after we die.”

Then I’ll buy a bite.

It was the moment when Han Ji-soo was about to jump off the fortress wall.

shoot-

A dazzling flash of light filled his vision.

The source of the flash is Ash’s Sword.

The golden light emitted from the sword was dazzling.

the light grows

hugely.

Bigger.

so hard to see.

– Aww!!

The breath the zombie dragons poured towards her. The green decaying breath slowly evaporated when it touched the golden light. In the end, Breath couldn’t even reach her.

– Doo doo doo.

The cavalry, even their horses in armor, charged at her. It was as if the waves of death were overtaking her, but strangely, she was not worried.

Ash lowered his sword.

A golden light covered the waves of death.

A zombie dragon who was arrogant from the front.

The horseman rushed towards her.

All the demons and demon soldiers running after him.

The cloudy sky clears and the golden light disappears.

under the blazing sun.

There were no living and breathing demons within 500m in front of Ash.

“…what is this,”

Han Ji-soo could not understand the current situation. Of course. I don’t call a miracle a situation that mortals can understand.

dump.

Ash, who was staggering, fell down.

Han Ji-soo, who had been dazed by the miracle that unfolded in front of her, came to her senses. He jumped off the wall and hurriedly ran towards Ashe.

“Are you okay?”

Worried that there might be something wrong with her body, Ash turned over.

It was kind of a concern.

“Hehe, warrior. I saw it, I said, Mary told me!”

Seeing Ash splitting the threads, Han Ji-soo made a shaky expression.

‘Is the problem the head, not the body?’

As I was thinking about that, I heard footsteps again. It was the sound of the rear of the Demon King’s army running.

Perhaps it was because the advance squadron, which was the main unit, was annihilated, and it looked so shabby that it could not be compared with the previous one.

thud!

Asgat landed in front of Han Ji-soo and Ash. Then Gerald, Felix, and Alipid descended to the ground.

“We will take care of the rest. The hero takes the child back.”

“What do you mean, I can still fight… ah!”

Ash, who was hit hard by Han Ji-soo, looked up at him with his eyes wondering why.

“It seems difficult just to stand up, but what is more fighting?”

He wrapped his arms around Ash’s inside knees and around her shoulders and hugged her. He stood up and looked back at Alipid.

“I’ll take you to the temple and join you right away.”

“You can go slow. Because that’s really enough for us alone.”

After the conversation, Han Ji-soo walked towards the fortress wall.

“Ash, what was that…”

As he was about to ask about the miracle, he narrowed his eyes when he saw her twinkling eyes.

Why is this again

“Why do you look like that?”

“Hugging the princess. I am being hugged by the hero as a princess right now.”

“..What”

“It is an honour! I will write down what happened today in my diary and leave it for future generations!!”

My head has gone bad. Are you sure.

Han Ji-soo took a deep breath.

He looked at Ash who was flirting, saying he would brag to other priests when he returned to the main school, and then coughed in vain.

Ash tilted his head and looked at him.

Han Ji-soo turned her eyes and said as if muttering.

“That… what… well done. I don’t know how I did it, but thanks to you, I lived.”

“…”

“…Hey, if someone has spoken to you, you can answer…”

When there was no answer, he, who was about to rebuke him as usual, looked at Ash’s expression and shut his mouth.

“You’re welcome.”

A pure smile without embellishment.

heartbeat-!

It was an ordinary beautiful smile, but at least it was enough to make Han Ji-soo’s heart cry.

“Hey, warrior. Why is your face red?”

“Shut up.”

“Eh.”

In the end, the hero gave the affection he did not want to give.

I couldn’t help it.

After all, he was a human too.

He wasn’t even cold enough to push away those who chased him to his limbs.

He thought, who gave them affection.

that you should try harder.

All you have to do is work harder than ever before and become strong enough to protect them all.

But, as always, his life didn’t go the way he expected.

The start was to reclaim the Holy Sword.
