I remember hearing somewhere that the night in the forest comes quickly....
I don't really care. While living with Asilier, after he got a certain age, he often hunted at night, and one of the reasons was that his night vision was quite bright..
But no matter how quickly night comes, it bothers me that I haven't been able to leave the forest since daylight..
The problem was not only that the forest was huge, but that my body was in such a mess. Walking through the forest with a body that grew heavier with each step was more difficult than expected, and since the spirits had a weak concept of a path, the help they could receive was limited..
However, that doesn't mean the help is useless. Even though I was bleeding like that and the temperature around me was dropping, I could feel the warmth. If I didn't have this, I would have stopped right away and had to hide myself in an awkward position..
Thanks to that help, I can now sit down and rest under the cliff carved in an appropriate location, so I can't thank you enough..
"I wish the demons had dark eyes at night...."
I don't have the power to erase traces, and I can't resist being chased at all. I don't even have simple tools and my physical strength is quite limited. Even excluding wounds, it is not easy to recover, possibly due to handling too much magic at once..
In this situation, the option I chose was ultimately closer to leaving everything to luck..
I'm just staying here and trying to gather myself, hoping that my enemies' tracking skills aren't that good..
I know. The reason I believe that this choice, which is neither planned nor safe at all, will go as I wish is that it is a useless happy circuit in front of the people who entered the empire's territory and built a gate to hide themselves with the purpose of kidnapping or assassinating Esmueh. Thing.
However, if you try to move your tired body, you will end up getting even more exhausted. To put it bluntly, I can confidently say that both the condition and the situation are worse than when I dealt with thieves when I was 8 years old..
In that case, it would be better to hide in a less conspicuous place and save up some stamina in the hope that they won't find me..
"It even looks like it's about to rain. It's so shit."
Apparently it was clear all day in the morning, but I decided to close my eyes for a while, ignoring the signs of rain, as if to give me a hard time..
The moment I decided to close my eyes and sleep without any hesitation, as I was assured that the spirit would wake me up even if I was deeply asleep..
"The sales are good.."
A suddenly heard voice immediately alerted me, so I tensed up and opened my eyes again..
I wondered if it had caught up with me much faster than I expected, but it was only after seeing the heavy rain pouring down around me that it was noticeably darker compared to before I just closed my eyes, that I could understand that the moment I decided to sleep, I fainted, and now a lot of time has passed. there was.
I checked the distance between me and the person who had raised the voice by forcefully moving my head, which was as heavy as a piece of lead and not working well, and found that it was absolutely impossible for me to murmur through the heavy rain. The black human spirit that has just begun to emerge from the bushes is moving carefully to keep out sound and presence even in the heavy rain. There is no way it could have been shouting out loud for me to hear on purpose..
In other words, it means that the spirit bowed. I feel like I want to bow down..
Grumble! As the lightning flashed, the sound it made was not thunder, but lightning. Perhaps from a fairly close range, the world suddenly glowed white, revealing the figures approaching me..
The six men with horns were demons without any need to ask. They were drenched in rain and staring at me, but even though they all had their swords drawn, they did not rush at me..
"That person has a fierce temper.."
When I cleared my throat and spoke a little louder, I could clearly see six people flinching even in the dark..
Of course, it was surprising that the guy who was sleeping without knowing the world just a moment ago suddenly started talking to me and even responded after hearing me mumbling. In the meantime, the guy in the middle did not make a hasty decision and left behind the five people who were laying siege, and answered..
"Are you a hero??"
hmm. It was a question, not an answer. I also didn't have the will to answer, so I answered with a question again..
"If the captain is dead, why did you come after me??"
I'm trying to act as relaxed as possible, but cold sweat is running down my back..
Actually, he wasn't the leader, he was the weakest among us. If he were to face the same situation, he would really face his second death..
Still, looking at the stiff faces that appear every time lightning strikes, I don't think it's okay to assume the worst case scenario..
Then what remains is a battle between bravado and shrewdness..
◈
When I found a human sleeping under a cliff, sheltering from the rain..
The demons leading the chase party quietly laid siege, barely suppressing their desire to praise their subordinates who had managed to find traces of the human who killed their leader, even as the sun was setting and the rain was falling. The sudden heavy rain was at a level that even elves could not feel welcome, but since the opponent was the one who killed the captain, the demons decided that it was right to be cautious..
However, when I saw that he seemed to be sleeping peacefully without a campfire, I started complaining without even realizing it..
When the answer to my complaint came back, goosebumps appeared on my body, which I thought I had no time to feel cold anymore..
Obviously, the reason why a scream of horror did not come out of his mouth when he realized that the eyes that had been closed just a moment ago were staring directly at him was because he was so shocked that he could not even scream..
He was the one who killed the captain by cutting off his head, which neither magic nor sword could reach. He had no intention of even approaching unless it was a surprise attack, and he approached it thinking it was a golden opportunity. But the moment I heard the answer that came back calmly and clearly, as if he knew it would happen, everything became suspicious..
What was thought to be an inability to even erase traces began to appear as if traces had been left on purpose, and the judgment that one could not hastily escape from the battle with the captain... changed into suspicion that perhaps there was no reason to rush, so there was no need to rush. started to become.
"I have to avenge the captain.."
I wasn't planning on answering anything, but I ended up answering in an attempt to refute the fact that I was overwhelmed without realizing it. Then the head of the crouching human slightly tilted to the side..
"Didn't the humans really consider him a leader? Unless my eyes are strange, all I see is demons.."
"Because I couldn't bring in people who lacked skills to chase down the person who killed the captain.."
"you came?"
As if hearing something incoherent, the human pointed out the demon's answer. Just as I was about to wonder if the answer was not in line with the conversation, the demon, who understood the human's words, gritted his teeth..
The skills are still lacking, so why did you come this far because you thought there was something different about it? That's what humans say.
Although it was in the dark, I could clearly feel the agitation of my subordinates. And the demon thought that the nursery rhyme was not much different from his own. Perhaps, as he continued his pursuit, he encountered the situation he feared most..
In the worst case scenario, that person... easily kills the captain and just goes back home..
"When you first burst out of the gate, I judged you based on the situation in the capital and killed your comrades.."
While I was wondering if I should attack right now, the human spoke..
"When I tried to escape from here, your captain chased me down and tried to kill me, so I killed him. There is no other reason. I didn't kill you because you were a demon, and I didn't kill you because you were at war.."
Even though they saw the person getting up from their knees, no one could make the choice to jump forward to stop that action. Rather, they felt a sense of crisis at human behavior and took a step back..
"It's a simple story. If you thrust a sword at me, I will simply thrust a sword at you too. On the other hand, if I withdraw my sword, I also have no reason to draw my sword.."
"...Are you trying to appease me now??"
Reason cried out against the instinct to run away. There was no way I could have easily defeated the captain..
One day, by chance, he killed someone who no one had been able to find a way to kill for the past 80 years. Also, it makes no sense for a being of the highest order to suddenly appear and kill her with a single blow right before the big story of kidnapping the princess. The opponent is also extremely exhausted. So, they are trying to deceive six people by telling lies. If I could really kill you in an instant like the captain, there would be no reason to show such senseless mercy..
"appeasement?"
But humans look so peaceful.
Although the clothes seemed a little damaged, that was all that could be seen on a dark night with heavy rain. I wanted to think that my limbs would be as good as tattered clothes, but those nonchalant reactions and movements kept blocking such thoughts..
And as if to block that thought at its source, the human smoothly drew his sword..
"This is advice. The choice is yours. But you won't have much time to think about it.."
I could already feel the man's magical power, and just killing the unkillable captain was enough to fill me with fear. In any other situation, I would have ordered them to disperse and run away..
However, when the demons, who had been through a war that lasted for over 7 years, faced fear, what came to mind was not personal prosperity, but the fate of the race..
"today. we die here."
That man is dangerous. If you don't know if you're okay or not.
I will risk my life to find out..
