Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 58

As expected, we were able to join the group before 6 o'clock..

"oh. It was already over."

Nevertheless, there were four cleanly dead corpses and party members at the entrance to the dungeon. When I scouted yesterday, I couldn't see them coming out early and changing shifts, but I guess that's what I felt like today..

"It came just in time... hmmm. Both are okay, right??"

It seems that the people I destroyed with the war hammer were not the only ones, so Catherine and I were covered in a lot of blood, so Gin hesitated and asked..

"They couldn't even resist. Hey, as Eldmia said, I started off by shooting one guy, but he was so dumb that he couldn't do anything.."

"hmm. Right. It's important to have an idea that catches you off guard. We finished it without difficulty. Lellie knew how to use her silencing spell.."

"To be exact, it temporarily created a barrier that silenced the surrounding sounds.."

"You won't get caught if you use magic.?"

"My skill is to use it without being noticed.."

After all, it's a party that won't be missed no matter where you put it. I'm already dizzy because it's obvious that if I work with other mediocre adventurers later, I'll feel a big gap..

"I just checked the passage for a moment, and there was no difference from the scale written on the map. I don't think there will be any problems if we proceed as planned.."

The plan that Gin mentioned was nothing special. Gaendal is standing and pushing through a space so narrow that there is no room for two adult men to stand shoulder to shoulder. Gin follows behind and prepares for any surprise attacks, and Catherine, who has difficulty wielding a warhammer, follows behind with Lellie and checks to make sure no one escapes..

Her war hammer would be able to block the path just by thrusting it forward, so as long as we didn't miss the two archers and the wizard as we moved forward, there wouldn't be any problems, so it was a perfect plan..

It is a policy worthy of the word subjugation..

Gaendal and I nodded and entered the dungeon, carrying the dagger and short sword we found in the arms of the fallen guys just in case. As we went down the stairs to the basement, we were greeted by a stone passageway with a torch hanging on the wall..

I memorized the map, which was not complicated. From now on, all we had to worry about was checking the number of people in the rooms alternating left and right and delivering quickly..

The remaining people are about 9 people and demons whose details are unknown. There was nothing to hold back, so we ran forward..

It was up to me to storm the first room I came into..

"one!"

"what? What... gasp!"

While Nana Gaendal enters the room to identify and deal with the people, Gin joins with the other person to guard the passage. If two or more people are gathered together, they attack together, otherwise they repeat the same action..

Kill them all on the way to your destination, the chapel, or when you are sure you haven't missed anything, send a signal to Catherine and Lellie behind you and enter the chapel first. That was the gist of this repeated murder..

They died one by one in quick movements, as if special forces were suppressing terrorists..

"three!"

"It's crazy wet...!"

"throw!"

"evil!"

It wasn't difficult to coordinate with Gaendal. They react quickly as if they have already been trained, from their ability to understand and accept the situation to the time they spend understanding what the words I shout mean. Of course, I could confidently say that it was the same for me..

Thanks to this, we were able to successfully surprise even the archers and take out up to 8 people without any effort..

"The rest seems to be a chapel. egg plant."

At Gaendal's decision, I threw the short sword I was holding with all my might into the passage we came from. Of course, it wasn't thrown using an aura, so it wouldn't have caused the disaster of flying towards Catherine..

Instead, the sharp sound of metal hitting the floor filled the passage and moved away..

Now, with this as a signal, Catherine and Lellie, who were walking while looking at the previous rooms one by one, will come running. We ran as quickly as possible to the nearest chapel..

While some of us felt strange about the noise we made while moving quickly, there were others who didn't notice anything. Thanks to this, it is currently impossible to determine whether this commotion has reached the chapel and entered the border..

In the end, all we could do was rush as much as possible to avoid giving the slightest time to prepare..

"The only thing I'm most confident in is cutting after an attack, so I'll just start.."

"Take cover."

At the same time as Gaendal's answer, I accelerated a little further and entered the chapel, which was emitting an ominous blue light without a single door blocking the entrance..

I could tell as soon as I walked in. All eyes gathered to see who was running when they heard our urgent footsteps. However, that gaze did not contain any proper boundaries. It's just a look that makes you wonder who is suddenly running like this. This means that this raid was a complete success..

And 15 years after reincarnating in this world, I finally got to see for myself how my friends called demons came to be..

Five demons. The only thing they had in common was the horns on their heads..

The horns of various shapes, which seemed to have nothing to do with the hat throughout his life, were not that big, but they were enough to clearly make their presence felt. Some people have two, some have one, but no one seems to have three. Unless it's on the back of your head..

Other than that, there are no other physical features. Not all hair is uniformly black, nor is the skin color black or the whites of the eyes black..

But other than appearance, there was only one thing that was clearly different..

"what about you...?"

And one of the demons, who must have felt a similar question to the one I had, looked at me in astonishment and pointed at me..

Those bastards know how to use magic..

As soon as I came to that conclusion, I gathered as much magical energy as I could and started strengthening without worrying about lying down tomorrow. And then I ran for a month and swung my sword at the guy who was shocked to see me..

"Nonsense..."

The aftereffects of strengthening my body, which I had never tried before, were amazing. The demon's head was ripped off without even a chance to blink due to the sword that was drawn as it lunged at the guy..

The speed was incredible even for me to feel, but one guy was not only reacting to this speed, but was aiming at me and stabbing me with his sword..

"Wizard! Secure the gate! need to run away!"

I narrowly parried the sword aimed at his temple from the side and kicked him in the abdomen. Only two horns. Could it be that the strength of a demon is determined by the number of horns? The other three reacted, but their movements were slow, so this one is the leader and the biggest threat..

The proof was that even in this state, which could be said to be my full strength, I felt like I was on equal footing, let alone crushing him..

He looked a little different than when I had just glanced at him briefly. The frighteningly bloodshot eyes and the bulging veins all over the body, starting from the face, help us guess that the guy has strengthened his body with something. And even though others didn't know what it was, I knew exactly what it was..

It was clear that the guy had been pumping magic into his body as if he were doping drugs..

"I will stop this guy! protect the wizard!"

In the short period of giving instructions to the demons, there were only five sword strikes. He was so skilled in swordsmanship that if I hadn't learned swordsmanship from the Ogatorv family, he would have died from his jaw being split open by the third counter attack..

Regardless of whether it was a fucking surprise attack or not, I think this is the first time in my life that I've properly fought someone this strong..

Wouldn't it have been like this if they had faced off against Delt, who was able to kill them with an unprecedented surprise attack? Of course, swordsmanship was much poorer back then than it is now, so I would have died five more times..

"Did you drink magical power like some kind of drug?!"

I tried to use the recoil to split the skull by swinging the sword that stabbed at my eye and deflect it, but the sword that bounced back returned to its original position with terrifying force and struck my sword away. And I used that as an opportunity to block the sword that came at me like lightning three times..

It wasn't that heavy, but it was definitely slightly stronger than me due to the magic doping. I could see that if I fell away and found an opening, he would adjust his stance somehow and try to run away, so I clung to him with all my might and clashed my swords..

I noticed that the body of the sword was slightly cracked due to the impact being so big that I could tell that both his weapon and mine were creaking..

In that moment, all kinds of thoughts passed through my mind..

Do they make weapons based on this level of combat? So, is it just my sword that's being cut right now and is that guy's sword still intact? Is he aiming to destroy the weapon??

"Wizard! Hurry up!"

I have also thought about strengthening my body through magical power doping. And so naturally, I didn't even try. I might try it someday, but definitely not for a while..

That's because that method was the most fundamental reason why all the people who tried to use magic exploded like firecrackers and died..

But he's holding on. So, are you saying that demons have bodies that can withstand that??

"That can't be possible, fuck!"

His blood vessels were bulging as if they were about to burst, his eyes were turning red, and the sound of his heavy breathing was telling. And the moment I scolded the wizard who had been whining in front of the gate with his arms outstretched, looking intently, everything became clear..

That won't last long!

"My sister said that was a suicide note, you bastard.!!"

Then I, who lasts a long time, will win!
