Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid

119 – 28. As a human, not a wolf (4)

“Everyone, pay attention to my words for a moment.”

Adele, who wiped out the monsters once again, opens her mouth while examining her colleagues.

Unlike herself who was still fine, all of them suffered minor injuries.

There is a difference in skills, but the biggest reason was that my physical condition was not normal.

“I will go alone from here.”

“Leader? what did you just say?”

“What nonsense. Are you going to do it all by yourself?”

“yes. I will do it alone.”

At the moment Adele’s words are about to be refuted by her colleagues.

Adele waved her hand and looked around at everyone, starting with Roxanne and ending with Noah.

“Aren’t they all not normal? Better to stop here.”

“When did we fight while taking care of our bodies? If there is a monster in front of you, you will continue to fight.”

“Grandpa is right. Are you doing this knowing what kind of guys we are, boss?”

“Let’s go together. If we live, we live together; if we die, we just have to die by ourselves. Isn’t it?”

Those who have no regrets in life, those who have already gone through too many battlefields and are worn out.

Maybe that’s why the emperor sent them out so urgently.

I wish I could live a little longer. Since I am a human being, I want to live like a human being.

Had it been Adele in the past, she might have asked me to go with her here.

Even though he knew the emperor’s will, he might not have stopped his colleagues.

But not anymore. While being with Sien, he learned the value of life.

For some, today was just to fight, and for others, it was tomorrow to live.

The person he threw away at random was the person someone wanted to save.

So, I felt reluctant to throw myself away any more.

No, I will correct it. I was afraid. I was afraid that someone who wasn’t dying could be sad.

“You have to survive.”

So when those words came out of Adele’s mouth, all of her colleagues were surprised.

Not from anyone else, but from Adele’s mouth. From the mouth of the man who seemed impatient to die.

When the word “survival” came out, the reaction of his colleagues was natural.

“Among those who fight to live, to live. Let’s stop struggling to die. Fight to the best of your ability, so when you live. You have to live up to the share of your colleagues who left first. That is our last duty.”

Uncharacteristically from Adele’s point of view, it was a very long and well-said story.

If they were people from Cien or Lichtenau, they might have been quite moved.

But the problem is, all of the people gathered here were people with a lack of sensitivity.

“uh… uh? What did you just say?”

“what. Are you really Captain Adele?”

“Leader. Did you eat something wrong today? I talk quite a lot today as well.”

“… .”

I tried to persuade him well with words, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Against them, it seems appropriate to just do what we normally do.

“It is an order. Help the soldiers here. From here on, I go alone.”

“and. Seriously, being a captain makes too many demands.”

“so. Are you not going to listen to me?”

“When did you say no? I just have some complaints. All right, boss. I’ll wait here, so don’t stare at me like that. I’m afraid I’ll appear in my dreams, hey.”

Although I always get teased here and there for being old.

At times like these, it is Rahan who becomes the central axis of his colleagues.

When he asked to follow Adele’s advice, Roxanne accepted immediately.

“If it’s an order, I’ll follow it. Can we keep fighting here like this?”

“yes. You can do that.”

In fact, Adele’s order could be said to be very appropriate.

Contrary to himself who is still fine, his colleagues are injured.

Even though it’s minor, injuries make stamina drain faster.

Conversely, the enemies are stronger than normal 2nd-class monsters.

Right now, they are in a hurry, and they are briefly distracted, but they will reorganize their lines soon.

It is very difficult to handle even Wolfheddin when it is stuck.

“I hope he never dies. His Majesty the Emperor will be sad.”

“I will try, Captain. I can’t give you a definitive answer.”

“that’s right. I’ll try my best, so please go.”

Adele decided to use a magic potion in response to the reaction of her colleagues.

“If even one person dies, the remaining people will have to eat beef jerky soup all week.”

“… f*ck this! hey! Today, no one is going to die. okay?!”

“Grandpa behaves well! Don’t go out and die and let us eat that hellish poop!”

“Leader. Are you still into beef jerky? Wasn’t Lichtenau a nice place?”

Certainly the reactions were much greater than Adele had anticipated.

At this level, they will closely monitor each other and try to save each other.

To be honest, I don’t understand why I hate jerky soup so much.

“Then let’s go.”

“Take care, chief.”

“See you later!”

From the looks of others, it’s an obvious situation where you’re just going to die.

Wolfheddin’s colleagues, who actually send Adele, are in the mood to greet those who go out to drink.

It was natural. The one who was going alone now had good reason to do so.

Sasa Sasa!!-

Adele disappears in front of your eyes in an instant.

And right after that, the monsters rush in to drive the humans out once again.

“From here on, we have to fight again without a captain.”

“Whoa. I’m going to have to use all of the energy I saved here.”

“That’s right, Grandpa. I must be a bit tired today.”

“If I had known it would be like this, I must have done some exercise beforehand.”

Adele, the best power, was away. From now on, they must fill the void.

Until now, I had saved my chakra as much as possible to save my stamina.

In the eyes of the soldiers, it looked like they were fighting a melee, but in fact, they didn’t even get involved in the melee.

It was to the extent that they moved by riding on the strong current created by Adele.

But from now on, it should be the other way around.

They themselves become a strong current, and they have to burn the soldiers fighting nearby.

Fighting for them, not fighting for themselves.

Ssssss!!!-

Turning the chakra at a tremendous speed, Wolfheddin straightened the battle line.

To be honest, I’m still not sure how to follow Adele’s changes.

It’s true that I still consider myself a monster, a wolf rather than a human.

However, as the emperor said, he left the battlefield and lived a quiet life.

That someone was fighting and dying to protect this very life.

They killed to release their resentment and hatred, but they died to protect them.

“Captain, doing cool things alone, honestly, isn’t it? We should wear it too.”

“Grandpa says the right thing for the first time in a while. If there is something good, share it and do it together.”

They no longer rush at enemies or bite them like mad wolves.

Fighting like a human being, for a human being, and as a human being.

Kyaaa!!-

Whoa!!-

“Okay then. Let’s do what everyone does best.”

Nodding at Roxanne’s words, Wolfheddin went into battle again.

Not as wolves, but as people.

* * *

Puffy!-

Every time Adele’s sword flashes, the beast’s head explodes.

We must reach the center of them as quickly as possible.

Either deal with the mother body, or bring out the unidentified enemies of the Demonic Realm.

Kyaaa!!-

As if they didn’t care about death at all, the monsters rushed at them.

It wasn’t to eat Adele, or to kill her.

Even if it’s just for a little while, it’s good to hold on to it. to not go on like this any longer.

‘In front of me, there is something they want to protect.’

Adele, who overcame all resistance with one blow, finally reached her destination.

Beyond the demonic beasts lined up in an orderly fashion, just like the soldiers of the Empire.

A new object twice as large as the gnomes had appeared.

‘It’s not a first-class witch. The energy I feel is too weak to say that.’

Because it was Adele who had encountered so many monsters, it was possible to figure it out without fighting.

Obviously, its body is much larger than the others.

It feels like it’s far below in terms of combat power.

In the first place, if you grow that much, there will be many disadvantages in battle.

Sean’s prediction was correct. That is, absolutely not an object for hunting or fighting.

As she said, it is natural to be protected.

A must for a group to stay alive.

The mother body, the mother body that is essential to forming a huge group of monsters, was clear.

Grrr-.

A bizarre sound came from behind the Demonic Beasts.

Then, the monsters standing in front of him move slowly, emitting ferocious voices.

They don’t run recklessly, in case Adele passes them.

Since there is an existence to protect, it was revealed that he was more careful and moved carefully.

‘There is nothing difficult. It’s just a little stronger than the ones I’ve encountered so far.’

It was the moment when Adele thought so and quickly approached her mother.

“… !”

Adele, who opened her eyes, hurriedly threw herself to the side.

Almost at the same time, a devastating blow landed right where he was standing.

Kwagwagwang!!!-

Quadduck!!-

Unlike usual, Adele blew her body a little wildly.

Correcting his posture, he turned his gaze towards another demonic realm beyond the magic beasts.

It was a demonic realm that had been emitting only faint light until a moment ago.

But now, it was in a state of clear purple.
