The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 6
Only Noblemtl
The soldier shouted save (6)
I stare blankly.
Looking at the place that ‘was a village’.
There was no village there.
It doesn’t mean I was burned to ashes.
There was nothing there.
Except for ‘that guy’.
-Grrrrrrrrr!!
A creepy sound coming from the village makes my skin crawl.
The town where I was born and lived.
I set fire to that village myself.
But the guy is alive.
Was I wrong?
The guy seemed afraid of fire.
That is an undeniable fact.
But an ominous thought crosses my mind.
The guy was just scared.
If this monster was created by robed warlocks, it would be as good as a newborn baby.
It’s simple logic.
He was afraid of the bright, hot fire that was contrary to his own body.
But if the one who learned ‘fire’ realized that it was not a threat to him, that he was not scared… … .
‘… … Not yet.’
My heart hasn’t stopped yet.
My struggles are not over yet.
“Hey!”
Stop negative thoughts.
He hurries his horse to walk faster.
-Digital. Digital. Digtal.
Turn your head slightly and look behind you.
A bizarre sight appears.
The guy no longer looked like a four-legged wolf.
A giant overlooking the village.
The huge figure was sucking up the darkness in the village, as if it had no more business to do.
‘Faster.’
The direction I’m heading is Goblin Mountain, on the opposite side of Tallinn town.
If we can’t stop him, we should at least stop him from going to Tallinn.
Of course, I would appreciate it if you would just stay the same and not chase me, but luck is not always on my side.
-Grrrrrrr!
I turn around at the eerie sound.
Three red eyes were looking at me.
‘Why do you have three eyes?’
It was only then that I realized something was wrong with his body.
The guy’s form wasn’t all darkness.
There was light coming from within that body.
-Grrrrr!!
It was a sound that sounded painful.
I had a gut feeling that the sound was a writhing in pain.
The guy swallowed all the fireworks in the village.
But it couldn’t extinguish a single spark.
A flame rooted in the earth.
What he couldn’t erase was the undying flame left behind by the goddess.
‘fire…….’
Could it be that the reason he sucks in the darkness is to put out the flame remaining within his body?
-Slurp.
The guy stretched out his giant legs.
The bastard’s long footsteps quickly narrowed the distance between me and him as I rode my horse.
‘This… won’t do.’
I turn my head and check the distance between me and the guy again.
10 seconds.
He’ll pass me in less than 10 seconds.
But it was enough time to run away.
Because the bait that was supposed to replace me was walking towards me on its own two feet.
“Keeeeee!!”
It looks familiar.
There’s even one with a spiked club, green skin, and a helmet.
The number of them was so great that it was difficult to see them all at once.
But I knew exactly how many of these guys there were.
“22.”
These were goblins.
“Kreuk! Kreuk!”
These guys were probably headed for town, but they got the number wrong, way, way wrong.
Before the guys could arrive, bandits invaded and monsters swarmed the village.
“Hey!”
He pulls on the reins and runs towards a goblin.
The guy with the helmet.
This guy just passes by.
The guy I should be aiming for is.
“Kki, kki!”
It was a guy holding a torch.
Stretch out your hand while riding a horse without slowing down.
-Whoosh!
He snatches the guy’s torch with his hand.
The torches used by goblins were special.
Even on a running horse, it maintained the shape of a flame, as if it had been covered in some special oil.
“Kkieh!! Kki, kkieh!!”
A helmeted goblin points at me and shouts.
The goblins take up an attack stance.
But there was no need to worry.
The ‘guy’ doesn’t make any noise when he moves.
Even though the guy in the form of smoke took big steps, it was quiet without making a sound.
-Kurrrrrr!!
But as that eerie sound echoed throughout the area, the goblins faced ‘it’.
“What, what?”
The helmet goblin’s puzzled face formed in my mind.
It can’t be helped.
The goblins were coming from across from me.
The guys walked by, seeing ‘it’ in the shape of a giant with their own eyes.
But you wouldn’t have known.
If you saw its appearance, you might have thought it was just a shadow made by a bush or a tree.
A monster as tall as 5 meters and made of black darkness is something you’ve never seen in your entire life as a monster.
“Kki, kkieeeeee!!!”
The goblins will still be unaware of what is happening to them as they are swallowed up in darkness.
The 22 goblins that had been fighting with me for several dozen minutes with rusty swords were gone in an instant.
It disappeared in just a moment.
But for me, that one moment was enough.
Because we’ve arrived at a place where we can make our final struggle.
The guy was no ordinary monster.
He thought fire was his weakness, so he set fire to the village, but it ended up engulfing the village.
The flame left by the goddess.
Even the flame that was struggling to light up his body was obscured by darkness.
This is someone you really want to run away from.
But setting fire to the village was not in vain.
-Grrrrrrrrr!
The guy’s pain-filled screams prove it.
Even though he is in so much pain that he feels like he is going to die, he does not give up on his prey and continues to chase it.
What can a mere soldier like me do?
All I have to do is stand still and let the fire inside me die down, but it follows me around obsessively.
But I considered it fortunate.
I had to chase after him.
If the guy didn’t chase after me, I would feel wronged.
We reached the uphill road.
“Hurry!”
To kick a horse out by hitting its hindquarters.
I run along the mountain path with my scarred feet, not with horseshoes.
The ground is rough.
A sharp branch grazes my cheek.
It’s the middle of the night so I can’t even see ahead clearly.
I’m just running along the mountain path, relying on the torch I’m holding in my hand.
-Grrrrrrr!
How do I kill that guy?
The guy swallowed the biggest flame I could create in town.
If so, then you just have to create a bigger flame.
The guy got right behind me.
I threw the torch in my hand without any hesitation.
A torch that flies around and around decorates one part of Goblin Mountain.
It swallows dry branches, covers grass, and climbs trees to spread in an instant.
A flame from a torch engulfs Goblin Mountain.
-Th, Grrrrrrr… .
The world turns red.
The guy stops walking, seeming embarrassed.
The darkness that had enveloped his body was losing its color to the bright light from the fire.
Okay.
No matter how much the guy swallowed the village’s flames, he wouldn’t be able to swallow up the ‘forest fire’.
If he had used his long legs to go down the mountain, it would have been a snap, but he didn’t have the intelligence to do that, so he just stood there blankly.
The guy’s work is good, after all.
The important thing was that I shouldn’t stop walking either.
He’s not the only one who finds fire threatening.
We had to get off the burning mountain as soon as possible.
‘Is it this way?’
It’s covered in thick smoke and I can’t see ahead.
But I remember the direction I was going down.
Cover your nose and mouth with your left sleeve.
The moment I decided on a direction and was about to take a powerful step forward, something grabbed my ankle.
―… You… What… Are you…?
‘… said?’
Whatever you said is fine.
The problem was that the guy’s black hand was wrapped around my ankle.
‘shit!’
The body leans toward the ground.
I lay on the floor with my buttocks down and pulled the leg that was caught by the guy.
But it doesn’t fall off.
“Hey, you fucking bastard!!! Get off!!!”
In this situation, opening my mouth was not a good choice.
Because the hot smoke went through the airway and into the lungs.
-…brave…?
I was angry.
I barely made it this far.
I survived the burning of my village and made it this far.
however.
“Die? If you’re going to die, then you little bastard… … ”
I couldn’t continue talking.
Starting with my legs, my body was being swallowed by the guy.
I can’t breathe.
The guy’s body had already swallowed up the area around his mouth.
The guy’s body felt like it was underwater.
But it was so cold that it made my heart feel lonely.
The body cools down and consciousness becomes clouded.
I was swallowed whole by the bastard, from head to toe.
-Th, Grrrrr!
The guy’s body began to glow.
It wasn’t the guy’s body that was shining.
What’s shining is my chest.
The darkness that had swallowed me is now avoiding me.
The body becomes free.
I check the chest that is shining and bewildered.
It was an object that was kept in my arms.
dagger.
A dagger that my younger sister gave me that was useless for either decoration or combat.
The dagger was emitting a light so bright it hurt my eyes.
―… This… Why?
The guy’s body falls apart.
The body loses its shape and is blown away by the wind.
I didn’t know if it was because of the dagger or the fire, but the bastard was disappearing.
Move your legs.
It was a strange feeling.
Even though smoke was covering every corner of the mountain and the hot flames were burning my skin, I felt comfortable.
But it only lasted a moment.
The shining dagger is losing its shine.
At the same time, I feel breathless and my skin feels like it’s burning.
‘No… I said no… … .’
Consciousness fades.
Dagger, monster, mountain, fire.
I don’t think about anything.
Concentrate.
I just focused.
My right foot, and my left foot.
I hold on to my fading consciousness and concentrate so that these steps don’t stop.
But numerous questions hinder that focus.
Isn’t it already wrong?
Will I be able to return alive?
Even if you live, can you really say you lived?
The scariest question was the last one.
Even if I return alive in this condition, I cannot survive.
The skin was already burned and dying.
Not only the skin, but also the body that was touched by the hot smoke was dying.
It’s not that there is no way to heal.
It reminds me of the ‘priests’ who were in the palace.
One who practices sacred magic by borrowing the power of the goddess.
I thought their healing magic would be able to heal wounds like this.
If you see a forest fire of this magnitude, you might be able to send an investigation team from the town of Tallinn, where the castle is located, and even a priest among them.
If you have a priest, you don’t have to worry about aftereffects.
As soon as I finished thinking about it, my body felt relaxed.
Is it because my worries are gone?
I feel lethargic and my eyes are closing.
My body is staggering.
-Tiutung.
The view gets closer to the ground.
The body rolls on the floor.
And then something appeared before my eyes.
-The level has increased.
The eyes come into focus.
The pain goes away.
… level.
What on earth does that mean, that the saint is healing me as if she were right in front of me?

It was full of unknown things.
