10 – Why We Need Him (8)
Why he is needed (8)
“Jim, I’m sorry. I said I’d protect you……. After all, I guess I’m useless.”
Esmeralda trembled at the melancholy voice.
Milia moved through the flames as if she didn’t care what was going on around her.
With every step she takes, a black, irregular liquid remains, wriggling and clinging to the surroundings.
As if it had a viscous consistency, the irregular object clung to the walls and floors of the building, probably still emitting heat incessantly, and instantly engulfing the surroundings in flames.
Destroy the inside of a fortified city with fire attacks with single-handed power.
‘Hey! I don’t have to worry about sieges in the future! Now you can just worry about me! Damn it!!’
It seemed that his state of mind was infinitely unstable, and if someone didn’t stop him, the fortress city of Cenova would be destroyed as it was.
“Esmeralda! Sorry? I must have said something wrong to Millia!”
“Tina?!”
Irregular material wriggling around Milia. And the flame that sticks to the outer wall of the building and does not go out.
And even Tina, who is avoiding the flames in all directions.
Esmeralda’s understanding of the situation was over in an instant. Apparently, Tina, whose body is second only to her, confirmed Jim’s whereabouts first.
It would have been nice if that was the end, but Tina ended up sharing that information with other party members. Even to those who shouldn’t know the most.
The result was Millia’s rampage.
“Get out of this place!”
And Esmeralda, who was flustered during that moment, eventually lost sight of the black men.
She couldn’t help but miss it. Because you are the only one who can stop Millia in this place.
“Kuu!”
Whether to subdue Millia, who is starting to run rampant, or to find Jim, who was kidnapped by black men.
It was a difficult problem to choose either way. For others to judge, it would seem more accurate to drop the burden and stop Milia.
But, at least to her, her answer was obvious.
Actually, there is nothing different between the two.
In order to stop Millia’s rampage, Jim’s presence will be needed anyway.
‘What on earth did he do that makes him so obsessed?’
Esmeralda shuddered.
Her face was also smooth, and it looked like she would have been walking around with a woman, but she never imagined that she would work this much.
In the meantime, I shouldn’t have snorted when Jim flattered the party members with all sorts of flattery to melt into the party.
Because one of Jim’s words really ruined a party.
“Tina, go get your stuff back. It was taken in broad daylight by suspicious people dressed in black. …… And he probably wouldn’t have gone that far because of his injury.”
Esmeralda, who relentlessly attacked Jim, and black men who tried to protect Jim.
You could say I was lucky.
If she had tried to escape regardless of the hostages, Esmeralda would have had a hard time stopping the black men from escaping.
“Jim?! Wouldn’t it be better to give up? That burden is more than human life…….”
“Not that luggage.”
“Isn’t that a big deal?! Okay!”
Esmeralda thought as she fixed her holy sword.
“Haa… …. After all, I didn’t like her from the name of the bastard.”
It confuses people.
***
I escaped from the hero.
It was something to be happy about, but the atmosphere wasn’t.
“Are you sure you want to do it, Captain? Did you see the warrior before? It wasn’t something we had to worry about. Even if he doesn’t do these things, he’s definitely straight…….”
“Because you are such an idiot. So it should be more like this.”
Puck! The sound of someone falling was heard.
Ugh, why are allies fighting each other? Be friendly be friendly
Of course, since there is such a thing as military discipline, there must be some parts that can’t be helped, but I just posted a direct statement, right?
What the hell is wrong?
“Kill this guy.”
…… Am i the problem?
My mind flashes at the words I hear.
Aren’t these bastards conspiring against me or not?
Actually, I thought it was strange from the beginning. It’s not an excuse, it’s real.
“Even if a hero is mentally mature, he can’t throw away a single burden like this, so that will be his weakness. You know how much poison an incompetent ally can be on the battlefield, right?”
“… ….”
Sureung!
The sound of a sword being drawn came from everywhere. Apparently not even a demon.
It seems that an unknown human force that was jealous of me tried to cut my throat.
I knew this would happen. This is why I wanted to throw away the warrior party.
Somehow, if you belong to the hero’s party, there are three enemies.
The blind sword of the demons.
The indistinguishable sword of the Balaur.
And even the cunning knives of humans like snakes.
It’s just a knife feast.
A warrior who can control dozens of knives would have been happy to see it. f*ck.
“Remove the sack.”
“Yes!”
While I was contemplating what to do, the bag loosened and a bright light leaked in. These crazy bastards Come to think of it, I did this in broad daylight.
“…… At least you should know who is killing you.”
What is this bastard?
I shouldn’t have said this, but it’s such a ridiculous asshole.
If it were me, I would have just locked myself in a bag and put the knife in, but I’m trying to show the last mercy, perhaps because I have a trivial heroic mentality.
On the topic of bastards who want to kidnap and kill people in the first place.
Do you think there is a cause?
I let out a sigh.
“Humans are so frustrating.”
“What do you mean?”
I didn’t say that I was frustrated because I was confined to a battery. It was a human habit that I found frustrating.
“Aren’t they the kind of people who can’t be honest with themselves and always make excuses, but can’t shake off their regrets right away?”
“Huh… …. It is.”
The leader of the black people whom I mistakenly thought was an executive team smiled broadly as if he sympathized with my words.
I’m sure my double standard is ridiculous. And even knowing it, you can’t fix it.
I understand.
That’s just how it was to be human.
This is why there is no unity and internal divisions occur.
“I’ll give you a chance. If you can defeat us, then you can be said to have some qualifications.”
Why are you so unprincipled?
Why can’t I be so strong?
Why do I become such an idiot who can’t be completely lopsided?
“If you were going to kill me, you should have done that from the beginning. Otherwise, I shouldn’t have done this in the first place.”
What are you guys up to?
Are you rich enough to overturn your choice?
Only the strong can make such a leisurely choice.
It may be power or it may be power.
None of these were half-way guys who set me free under the sunlight like this with half-way choices.
“That means you guys are not qualified yet.”
Dark Magic – Implementation of the Six Paths
[The Road to Hell – Misery]
Hesitation always pops out of the box.
People don’t understand what kind of calamity is inside until they’ve suffered it.
***
The moment I use black magic. Did the opponent know that I am a demon?
I thought of that while looking at the corpses of people in black who had their heads cut off just as they were about to say something.
To begin with, I’m not just a demon soldier, I’m an officer.
It is said that no one who is not a warrior can stop me.
These fools didn’t even know their opponents and missed the golden opportunity.
That’s why. I didn’t really want to mix things up. The bad things always die first.
It was just the same with these guys.
I didn’t hear their screams, I didn’t hear their excuses.
Is that why?
“What the f*ck?”
I had been flirting over human corpses for a long time before I found something shiny in the arms of the man who seemed to be the leader.
“Why is this on?”
It was a magic tool for reporting the situation connected to somewhere.
As a clever demon, I can find out who is behind it.
In the first place, this is human territory, so humans must have done it. And even through the words and actions of the human guys before they died, I could tell that they belonged to the military.
Yes, the military. Felheim Senova.
I didn’t like that one-eyed old woman from the beginning, but I knew I would end up like this. Hi go…….
“…… In any case, the goal has been achieved. Let’s bounce like this.”
Now that I have escaped the clutches of the warrior, it’s an advantage anyway. The great demon Jim’s ploy using foolish humans.
When I decided to think that way, I felt better for no reason.
“Ha ha, free!”
So I ran through the forest.
Exactly 30 minutes later, Tina dragged me by the scruff of the neck.
***
“Thank you, Jim. Are you okay?”
“Ah, thank you for your concern. Milia. I lived because Tina came on time.”
“What am I, I just brought you, who was running away in a hurry. Any luck anyway? How did you manage to escape and get there?”
“hahahaha, that’s right.”
“… ….”
Esmeralda was silent, not knowing what to do with Jim.
I want to kill you. Even right now However, I saw just a moment ago how the warrior’s party would become a mess if he was gone.
I also had to keep Jim alive.
‘No, but this bastard… ….’
[Note: I am in a state of restlessness as to whether Felheim Cenova found out that I am a demon.]
‘Really, how far do I have to deal with this idiot? What the hell did you do…….’
Does this bastard have no thoughts?
Esmeralda felt her blood pressure rise at the sight of Jim, who did not even exist. Jim doesn’t even know that, he’s just wandering around.
Of course, Jim is also burning inside, but… ….
‘No, but this bastard… ….’
‘No, but this b*tch… ….’
Esmeralda plays the fool and Jim plays the naive porter.
The two looked at each other and thought.
‘Does this situation make you laugh?’
‘I heard that a colleague almost died, but are you laughing?’
It was a type of paid attention.
