Kidnapping the Hero Party

169. A party of warriors without an uncle (2)

169. Warriors party without an uncle (2)

Abrom, the city of the desert.

The sand wind is blowing, and people are wearing relatively thin clothes.

And the sun was so hot that it hurt to breathe.

Mainly, a satin with a deep hood.

“I think my magic power and soul will burn to death… “

“I know there will be wars! Why don’t you think it’s going to be hot here!?”

“I know… But, I can’t take my hood off… “

“Why!?”

“I’m afraid to go outside… “

Luna was surprised by Saten’s sincere words.

The Saten she knew always hid her truth and never showed weakness.

But now?

A situation where you can’t even take off the hood because you get social phobia.

I was in a serious situation where I couldn’t take off my hood because I was afraid of the outside even though I was experiencing the heat to the point of death.

“At this rate, I think the whole party of warriors will die before we catch the demon king.”

“… So, I’m dying of boredom. I have to use my strength to revive my uncle. What are you doing?”

Unnecessarily straining.

Kkaduk-

Hare couldn’t stand Saten’s stupid behavior.

That’s why Hare chose.

“… Move your idiots. I think I’m going to be an idiot too.”

“Hey, if you go, what am I going to do alone!”

“… You are a warrior We have to save people.”

“What nonsense is that!”

Hare didn’t want to hear Luna’s cry, so she immediately climbed onto the roof of the house made of sand.

Then, she turned her head and began to look around her.

It was to confirm whether the Demon King was involved in this war.

“Cee- Lee, you bad hare… What if you leave me alone… “

On the back is Estiya, who has gone mad.

Saten can’t do anything in front of him.

‘What would you have done in this situation… ‘

In the end, the old man wouldn’t have abandoned everyone.

You must have waited until you stand on your own.

Just like I waited until I got stronger.

“… But, man, I had to know this. Even if he can stand on his own, he can fall again.”

You can’t destroy all the pillars that make it possible to stand.

That’s an incomprehensible behavior no matter how much I think about it.

“That means he can’t do anything without me, but… “

Even if you resent the old man, it’s similar to resenting me in the end.

Luna blamed herself again and walked through the desert city of Abrom.

“… Let’s follow.”

“… Yes.”

She’s lost in her grief, and she doesn’t even notice that there’s someone following her.

Luna was calmly walking the streets of Abrom during the war.

***

I just walked around and chose the first place that caught my eye.

Originally, it was correct to check other places, but it was a matter of Saten’s life and death.

For that reason, the atmosphere and facilities of the accommodation were quite poor.

“Ugh, what is this? Why is there so much sand!”

“Tea, it looks like you didn’t close the window… “

“Uh, don’t talk about Saten! Lie still next to Estiya!”

“… “

As Luna said, Saten lay down on a bed full of sand.

Then, the old man’s face naturally came to mind.

“If it were you, you would have removed all the sand with non-attribute magic… “

“Yeah, that’s right. Because he could do everything.”

“Look… I want… Once again… “

“… “

Saten left those words behind, and she closed her eyes, probably from the heat.

Looking at her breathing, she seemed to be asleep, so Luna didn’t say anything more.

The moment she put down all the luggage she had brought into her room and sat down on her chair to take a break.

Smart-

“Wait, I have something to tell you about the dorm. Would you like to come out?”

A man’s voice was heard as an attendant.

The voice was definitely not the voice of the owner of the inn on the first floor, but Luna went to the door without question and opened it.

“Yes, I will open it now!”

Kiki-

When I opened the old door, there stood a man from the desert with tanned skin.

Not one, but three men.

‘This inn has poor facilities, but there are many attendants!’

She had such a one-dimensional idea, and she tried to protest the grittiness of a man who seemed to be an attendant.

However, she knew that Luna was her instinct she had acquired through repeated training.

The momentum of those men is absolutely not the servant’s.

‘This feeling is definitely… ‘

It’s time for the old man to put magic on his sword… ?

An instinctive sense of déjà vu.

Luna before they reached her waist first.

She took the holy sword from her heart and struck it.

“Big-!!”

The men backed away without even resisting.

I was careless as a child, but the opponent was the hero Luna.

The bronzed men gnashed their teeth and aimed her sword at her Luna.

“To stop the war… Four years must die… “

“What?!”

“It’s all about ending the war… So, please die for my family… “

“Even for my family… “

“Please die… “

The bronzed men shed tears that didn’t match their looks.

Seeing that, Luna felt her brain shake for a moment.

‘I am a warrior… ? We have to protect citizens… !! That, but why… ‘

Citizens are shedding tears like that, attacking me in anger… ?

I am a citizen that I must protect… ?

Luna was very embarrassed by the current situation, but she couldn’t let the men do it quietly.

“No matter how much you ask! I have my friends behind me! No way!”

Paak-!!

Proper power control.

Luna used her hands and feet to strike the men’s bodies.

They were close to knights who could use her magic, but she couldn’t beat Luna, who had been training with her every day.

Looking at the man who had fallen outside her room, Luna put her holy sword back into her heart again and again.

-Those men will keep attacking you, champion. Killing doesn’t breed hatred, it won’t breed anger.

“… Still, no.”

-Why?

“I am a warrior. You have to protect people.”

That’s what I promised you.

I will keep this promise unconditionally.

Luna swore that and she closed the door.

However, Luna’s promise was not worth it.

Until night falls and morning rises again.

Luna has been assaulted over 10 times in total, preventing her from sleeping.

However, the hero couldn’t even counterattack them.

Because they were really close to ordinary citizens who had nothing to do with Grimoire.

‘… I am a warrior who protects the citizens.’

With Luna holding her holy sword in her arms, she repeated herself to herself.

What comforts her at least is that she is a good cat and she watches over her hardships.

***

Hare did not return to her lodgings even in the morning.

Her first reason is that she doesn’t know the location of the hostel.

The second reason is that we have seen important evidence.

“… Found, traces of the Demon King.”

The Demon King is definitely here in Abrom.

“The battlefield and the demon king. It suits you perfectly.”

Hare got information while walking around the battlefield.

He questioned the dying warrior and made inferences based on the circumstances of the case.

Although the smell of blood and the sight of the dead passed through my head.

Hare walked around the battlefield all day long with the single thought of resurrecting the old man.

“… In this war, the invasion of the neighboring country comes first. By the way, award winning. Justification is too lacking.”

If you go to war, there must be some benefit.

One side must benefit unconditionally.

However, now the empire and the neighboring country ‘Marvel’ are suffering from each other.

With no benefit whatsoever.

Something didn’t match.

“… Unless both are benefiting. That means someone else is the culprit… There must always be someone’s benefit in the case… “

Human beings are beings that die if they live only by taking losses.

When loss occurs, gain occurs somewhere.

“That is society… It’s not the world if only damage occurs… “

The truth is that the balance between gain and loss is never broken.

While chasing the traces of profit, thinking ‘Who would have benefited?’.

Hare has finally reached the truth.

“Hey, kill all but one desert human.”

“Who shall we save, Commander?”

“The strongest guy. Save him.”

A middle-aged man holding a cigarette in his mouth and shouting arrogantly with a lot of complaints.

The man had Abrom’s warriors lined up, and his eyes were covered.

It resembled the site of a beheading.

“Please… Help me… Even my family… “

“Umm, is this guy the strongest?”

“Yes, you can enchant the sword.”

“Huh, then you must be the right guy.”

A middle-aged man approached his strongest fighter.

Then, he whispered in his ear with a mean laugh.

“Your family today. Everyone dies here.”

“Yes, yes… ? Uh, what does that mean… I-I will give my allegiance… !! A dog, if I were a dog, I would lick it… !! Please, my family-“

“No, it can’t be. You must deliver the word and deliver the action.”

The middle-aged man dropped his cigarette on the floor and signaled with his eyes.

At that moment, the beheading took place in silence, without pain or screams being heard.

No matter how hard she was, her eyes couldn’t help but waver at that merciless figure.

‘… It’s crazy. Deliberately leaving the strongest person alive.’

If you do that, your hatred will grow and you’ll come back later to get your revenge.

Aren’t you afraid of that stupid man?

The middle-aged man approached the warrior who was weeping with anger and whispered in his ear.

Hare, who has excellent hearing, heard the voice clearly.

“Now, go to the village and move, Hero Luna. All the men’s families will die because of him.”

“My, why should I… ? You killed me, my family-“

“No, no. I didn’t kill your family. I just killed your people.”

And if you don’t tell me, I’m going to keep killing your own people.

“If you couldn’t protect your family, how about watching over your acquaintances this time? By killing the hero Luna.”

“… “

“Now, let this guy go.”

At the words of the middle-aged man, his followers set the warrior free.

He glared at the middle-aged man with bloody tears in his eyes.

However, knowing that he couldn’t change the situation, he turned around and headed for the city.

‘That man… ‘

When Hare saw that figure, he understood it clearly.

“Provoking people’s anger… I’m making it out of hate… ”

And, they’re spreading it far.

Let that anger and hatred reach Luna’s heart.

‘Quickly, I have to tell Luna. We have to let them know that this demon lord is really dangerous… ‘

Hare turned her body towards her city center to inform Luna.

In that moment, for a moment, my gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man.

One thing is clear.

‘… He was looking at me.’

I was sensed by that idiot who seemed to have no power.

Maybe it was because of that appearance, Hare was sure.

That man in the shape of a pig is the Demon King.

This is Ras, the Demon King of Wrath.
