“Whoa.”

He let out a hot breath.

Soon, the berserk was released and the reason slowly returned.

I clasped and opened my weak hands, regained my composure, and looked around.

‘Balak… .’

First, I looked at Balak’s condition.

Balak was down.

got close to him

Balak saw me approaching and said, Cool! He asked, spitting out blood.

“Are you really human? you guys.”

Even though he was in a situation right before his death, there was a deep doubt on his face.

It has to be.

I paused for a moment before answering.

“I don’t think so.”

“No?”

“It could be right.”

I answered questions because I didn’t know how to define myself either.

It is certain that the mind is human, but the body is not.

The answer will be different depending on what you look at human standards.

“… Right.”

“Are you curious about that right before you die?”

Balak did not answer.

Instead, the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Perhaps it was a reaction to the release of berserk, but there was no will to resist.

“… … .”

Just before cutting off the guy’s head.

He muttered as if he noticed something.

“I see, you… .”

Chew!!

Before he could finish talking behind his back, he cut his throat with a single knife.

A head as big as my body rolled across the cold floor and tapped my foot.

“… … .”

The moment he died, he had a relieved expression as if he had realized something.

‘It’s understandable.’

He also knew the oracle and was the one who fought me, so I had no choice but to find out.

that I am an apostle

It would be unfortunate if he only found out right before he died, but should I say it’s fortunate for him that he knew even before he died?

“… … .”

Well, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.

It would be a problem if he returned alive after realizing that, but he died anyway.

If only Ian and Uriel were careful, the others would have no way of knowing what happened here.

However, one problem remains.

I don’t know exactly what happened, but it’s true that the three of us captured Balak and the warriors.

Even when we keep our mouths shut, speculations can run rampant.

“… I can’t help it.”

Talking to himself, not knowing who he was talking to, he raised his head.

Then, inside the castle, Ian and Uriel headed to the place where they hid.

“Where are you? ah.”

The two were on a nearby pile of stones.

I didn’t know if he was hiding because he was afraid of being discovered by the Orc warriors, or even though he was right nearby.

‘Have you passed out?’

However, both of them had their eyes closed.

I’m taking a break for now.

Just in case, I went over and checked the situation.

“… Roan?”

“huh? Oh, you were awake.”

As soon as he touched his wrist, Yuriel’s eyes opened.

She blinked her stiff eyes, then recognized me right in front of me and tried to stand up straight.

“Ugh.”

she frowned.

And then it sagged without power.

“Can you wake up?”

“No. The pain is severe. … More than that, what happened to Ballack?”

“Look for yourself.”

“… … ?”

He lifted Balak’s head and showed it to Yuriel, who was looking around.

Yuriel was startled.

And when he realized that the owner of the head was Balak, his eyes widened even more in surprise.

“This… .”

“I got it. All the other warriors too.”

“ah.”

Yuriel’s mouth opened slowly.

breathe a sigh of relief

Then, suddenly, with a sinful expression, he said:

“Hey, Roan.”

“huh?”

He sighs deeply and apologizes for not being of much help.

“It was best for us not to be burdensome.”

She muttered with a bitter expression.

It is an expression of self-blame.

Seeing that, I opened my mouth.

“What do you care about… . no.”

But I couldn’t finish talking.

Even if I told Yuriel not to care, there was no way I could do that.

Because she is that kind of person.

So consolation is meaningless. that needs a solution.

And this was a problem that couldn’t be solved right now.

I said it as calmly as possible.

“Let’s talk about this later.”

“… yes.”

Uriel nodded.

After washing her face once and returning to her original expression, she continued.

“Sir Ian is a little worse than I am. You were overdoing it at the end.”

“I see.”

Unlike Yuriel, who was able to wake up even though he couldn’t stand up, Ian didn’t seem to have that much energy left.

Still, it was fortunate that life was not affected.

There were hardly any broken places.

So, considering the master’s resilience, that level wasn’t a big injury.

At that time, a loud noise was heard from outside the castle.

As if the battle was intensifying, intermittent screams and roars could be heard all the way to the castle.

“What are you going to do now? If you’re leaving, that’s fine.”

Yuriel looked at me slightly to see if she had heard the sound and said that.

It’s okay to leave them alone, so it doesn’t matter if they go out to help.

But I shook my head.

“We’re done.”

I have some stamina left so I can help, but since Balak is captured, the kingdom army will win even if I don’t help.

Now, there was a difference in numbers that could do that much.

“The elves.”

“It’s too far out there.”

When you arrive, the situation will most likely be over. It’s not even night.

It makes no sense to go now.

“I have other things to do than that.”

“If you’re going to do it separately… ?”

I hope that they will figure it out on their own, and I had to take care of myself.

When it is revealed that I have captured Balak and other orc warriors as well, it naturally draws attention.

This is unwanted attention.

I wouldn’t know if I didn’t get stabbed, but I didn’t want to be noticed that way now that I didn’t want to reveal that I was an apostle.

Besides, there is room for thinking about connecting with the oracle, so you have to be more careful.

so.

I’m sorry Ian, but he’s going to be my breakwater for the time being.

I made a small apology to Ian and weaved a thin bloody ring.

“This… .”

“Blood transfusion. What you did before.”

hooked!

After inserting it into Ian’s body, he handed over most of his remaining life force.

Ian’s complexion is getting brighter.

As I watched, I put Balak’s head next to Ian.

‘Ian will wake up soon.’

Since I’ve given this much, I should get up at least before the castle gates open.

And if it were him, the moment he came to his senses, he would quickly find out what I was hoping for and handing over my life force.

Ian was one of the few allies who understood my situation.

“after.”

swaying eyes.

I clenched my teeth tightly and cut myself moderately.

Then, he dragged his body, which couldn’t move well, and fell down next to Yuriel.

“… Come on, let’s rest. now.”

Fatigue came all at once in my hazy mind.

* * *

A blue flash flashes.

Fu-wook!

The spear of a senior knight pierced the nape of the orc like lightning.

“Keep.”

The orc groaned, gripping the spear tightly and trying hard to pull it out, but died as soon as the knight twisted the blade.

“Whoa.”

When the spear was pulled out, the orc collapsed.

He was the last remaining orc.

The knight looked around.

Tens of thousands of bodies were seen.

There were a lot of allies, but there were a lot more Orcs than that.

“Commander. It is annihilation.”

“… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

The commander, who was quietly looking at the castle wall at the knight’s report, murmured.

“Well, first of all we won.”

“yes.”

The commander seemed nervous even after annihilating the enemy.

It had to be.

In fact, the outcome of the battle inside is more important than the outcome of the battle outside.

‘If you lose… .’

The commander swallowed dry saliva.

The battle inside was a battle for the talents who would lead the future of the kingdom.

So the one who survived had to be an ally, not Balak.

‘It’s strangely quiet.’

Even after the battle was over, there was no sound coming from inside the castle.

This silence strangely aroused the commander’s anxiety.

When you open the castle gate, you might see the corpses of young knights.

Or maybe it’s Balak who is alive and kicking.

“after.”

But it couldn’t be postponed until long.

Commander ordered.

“Open the gates.”

“… ancient.”

I was told to open it, but what I would call the door had already been destroyed, so the soldiers clung to it and removed the pile of stones.

after a while like that.

There was barely enough space for one person to enter.

“… don’t go in.”

The commander took the lead. He pushed himself through the narrow passage.

Then the commanders and senior knights followed.

“… hmm?”

The first thing I felt was the thick smell of blood stinging my nose.

The commander’s fingertips trembled.

It was because the moment I smelled blood, I felt my heart sink.

He tried to calm his fluctuating feelings and spoke to the knights.

“… Knights, just in case, be careful.”

“ancient.”

In case there were enemies left, the knights took the lead.

When I had completely passed through the folded aisle and checked the situation inside.

The commander’s mouth, which had remained calm on the outside, opened slowly.

“… … ?”

The castle was like a road to hell.

There were orc corpses everywhere, and no matter how fiercely they fought, there was no place that didn’t splatter blood.

and.

“That… ?”

At the center of that terrible scene was Ian Karziel.

Stepping on the corpse of the biggest orc, Balak. While holding the supply and demand of the guy.

stood there so impatiently.

“ah.”

The commander trembled quietly.

All the knights and soldiers who came in late looked at Ian in a circle as if overwhelmed by something.

Because Ian’s appearance now reminded me of people I’ve only heard about in history books.

“… hero.”

There was a quiet ripple at the words someone uttered inadvertently.

Attention is focused.

Ian narrowed his brows as if he was embarrassed by that hot gaze, but that time was only for a moment.

“Commander.”

he came over and said

For some reason, he held out the dead Balak’s head with a relieved expression.

“It is the supply and demand of the enemy commander.”

It was like saying the end of this war that lasted several months.

Woooooo!!!

Soon, the sound of horns celebrating victory filled the castle.

* * *

After giving Ian all of my remaining life and falling asleep, I woke up in the barracks the next evening.

I was not tired when I woke up, as if I was recovering while I was sleeping.

However, my body was sore because I had been lying down for so long.

Woke up and woke up.

“!”

Then, something moves beside you.

there was someone

Who is it?

raise your back When I opened my stiff eyes, I saw Noah in front of me.

“… Roan!”

“Ah oh.”

I was startled by the loud voice.

I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Noah put an exclamation mark at the end of his words… .

‘aha.’

Her trembling eyes clearly showed what could be called uneasiness, so she said with a slight smile.

“I’m fine.”

Rather, it was more surprising that he came back intact after coming back to his senses.

That would have been pretty tough too.

Noah would have been even more so.

“What happened?”

I was curious about the process and asked.

Even if it was a situation where Luna had not received secret arts, it would not have been an easy opponent for a small number of people.

“… … .”

Noah stared into space for a moment.

I fell asleep thinking like that.

As if he didn’t know, he answered with a tilt of his head.

“I don’t know.”

“huh?”

“I ran away. suddenly.”
