Episode 090 Promise with Minyoung

“Ahh!”

One of the soldiers closest to the charging group of orcs was attacked by a wolf riding an orc.

Starting with that, the other soldiers also began to fall one by one to the Orcs.

I fired a spark at the wave-like crowd of orcs.

Hwareuk!

The Orcs ran through the flames without hesitation.

“brother! What should I do?”

“Whatever, I have to fight.”

Only three orcs were defeated by the soldiers.

A large number of Orcs were still targeting us.

“There are too many. Do you have an operation?”

I answered Suyeon’s question with magic instead.

It made a crack in the ground to knock over the wolves that were running and electrocuted them by creating lightning with the element of wind.

Orcs in dense formation hesitated as they were electrocuted serially.

“As expected, our Seojunie always has a plan.”

Seeing this, Soo-yeon smiled and took out a dagger and headed towards the orcs.

“I’ll go too!”

Hyuk moved after him.

Behind us, Minyoung applied a buff with prayer.

The orcs moved like a trained army, but my magic disrupted their formation.

Hyuk’s quick movements among the orcs puzzled them.

And Suyeon’s dagger slashed past those orcs without hesitation.

[Virus eradication failed.]

[Prepare a new vaccine.]

After dealing with the orcs, the system sent another message.

“driving me crazy? Do you really consider us a virus? Why?”

If you ask me, I don’t know either.

I had never thought about the system.

Vaguely, ‘Isn’t it God’s arrangement to prevent humans from perishing?’ That was all I thought.

“I do not know either. Nothing is known about the system. First of all, we have to keep moving forward. Let’s speed up a little more.”

We immediately mounted our horses and started running along the road.

The disruption of the system continued even after that.

Spiders and animal monsters attacked the forest that he had to pass through to go to the next city.

It was even during the Red Moon period, so the monsters got stronger each night.

[Classified as a malicious virus.]

[Developing a new vaccine.]

And, kindly, we didn’t forget to let us know what you thought of us.

“Ha, I’m going crazy.”

“I want to wash.”

“I just want to sleep comfortably.”

When entering a town or city, the monsters did not chase.

However, our faces were wanted, and everywhere we went, soldiers were frantic to catch us.

“Is going to the capital like this going to solve anything?”

“Still, they are aristocrats and high-ranking officials, so they can get some help.”

When the system popped up a message that a new vaccine was being developed, I could still breathe for a moment.

We settled down in the woods for a while.

“I’ll keep an eye on you, everyone, close your eyes.”

While the party closed their eyes, I tried to link with Illia.

[Link complete!]

[What, what happened? He said he would contact me.]

‘Things got a little complicated.’

[The number of wanted boats are all over the place.]

‘Yes, because I killed the count’s subordinates and demons. I think he noticed it there.’

[Yes, I heard that story through Killian.]

‘Tell me in detail about the day the monster rush happened.’

I could hear about the day’s events from Ilya.

Killian was hiding in Gorgon’s castle and watching him.

Then, the monster rush began.

The appearance of Gorgon leading the soldiers to fight to protect the castle was normal.

It was then that he changed.

It is said that while arranging the bodies of the monsters, he suddenly got angry and blew off the head of a soldier next to him.

‘crazy.’

[After revealing what he saw, he started killing people at random.]

‘Then what about the soldiers who followed me?’

[They didn’t kill all the soldiers, but left them behind. And the soldiers who survived somehow had their memories manipulated.]

Ilya’s words that followed came as a shock.

[They said it was the ‘Black Side’ and you strangers who killed people that day, so they issued a wanted order.]

Was that why the soldiers pursued us so desperately?

All of a sudden, we became murderers who brutally murdered the people of the empire.

‘The point at which the count lost his temper was probably the time we killed the lower level demons.’

[So, where are you now? Let’s join if it’s close.]

On the map, the name of the forest we were hiding in was ‘Pedunas Forest’.

When I informed him of the location, Ilya said he was nearby and said he would come directly.

I disconnected and while I waited for them, I linked Penzaric.

[What the hell are you doing!]

‘You know?’

As soon as the connection was made, Penzarik screamed.

[They say there are four strangers, but I can only think of you. grunt Please explain in an understandable way.]

When I told him the summary of what had happened so far, Penzaric sighed deeply.

[If Count Gorgon is a demon, then doesn’t that mean that there can be demons among the nobles as well?]

‘There are many nobles in the capital, right?’

[It’s not just a lot, it’s so many that you can get hit by a foot. Well, it might be rather dangerous for you guys to come to the capital now.]

‘Then what?’

[Let’s meet at the cathedral.]

‘A cathedral?’

[Still, the names are those who worship God, but there must be demons there.]

‘all right. How’s the study going?’

[The analysis is almost complete. The only thing left is to take the Soul Stone from you and examine it.]

That’s why I had to meet Penzarik. If he properly solved the secret of the soul stone, he might be able to open the door to the Pandemonium.

The soul stone had already been recharged through battles with many monsters.

‘Then, I’ll see you at the cathedral.’

[Take care of yourself.]

After ending the connection with Penzaric, he looked at his sleeping teammates.

“You weren’t sleeping?”

Minyoung opened her eyes and was looking at me.

Soo-yeon and Hyuk were leaning on either side of Min-young, closing their eyes.

“I can’t sleep.”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“are you okay. Who were you talking to just now?”

“Penzarik.”

“What did you decide to do?”

“We agreed to meet at the cathedral.”

I sat down in front of Minyoung and opened the map.

“Soon Illia and Killian will be joining us.”

“I see.”

The Cathedral marked on the map was in the Holy City, to the northwest of here.

“Seo Jun-ah.”

Looking at the map, I raised my head at Min-young’s call.

“Could all the things we’ve been through be caused by demons?”

“Until now, that is the case.”

“If you fight the demons and win, then what will happen then?”

I hadn’t thought about it until now.

After all this journey, what awaits?

But there were too many problems right now to think about that.

After finishing the work with the association, I thought there would only be happy days with the guild members.

But that was such a childish idea.

If you think about it now, everything was connected like a spider’s web.

When one problem is solved, another problem arises.

‘The upper line thought differently. I’m afraid of your strength and popularity.’

These were the words Hwang Yi-chan said before I died.

At that time, I only thought that the upper line would be the association.

However, when the darkness was removed, there were demons.

Therefore, to break this evil relationship was to drive out the demons.

And when this fight is over, I will find the happiness I truly desire.

Nothing is clear yet, but one thing could be promised.

“But, one thing I can definitely promise.”

I looked into Minyoung’s eyes and continued.

“When this whole fight is over, I will walk with you smiling. You like taking a walk in the afternoon.”

No monsters, no gates.

To regain the normal daily life we originally lived.

That was a sure promise I could make to Minyoung.

For him, he will overcome any battle against the world.

After hearing my words and looking at my face for a while, Minyoung’s mouth opened.

“You’re dignified.”

“So get some sleep, and thank you. For being by my side.”

“If you’re grateful, do well.”

rustle.

It was then.

I reflexively threw a fireball at the source of the sound.

“Ahh!”

“it’s crazy?!”

Ilia and Killian jumped out from where the sound came from.

The place where they were was ablaze with fireballs I threw.

“Oh, there were two of you.”

“Are you carefree for someone who tried to burn and kill an ally?”

“So who secretly takes so long?”

“joy. I just waited for a while because the atmosphere looked good. Even if this bastard Killian didn’t step on the tree branch stupidly.”

After blaming Killian for no reason, Ilia looked at the party.

“Looking at it, it looks like everyone hasn’t been able to wash or sleep properly.”

“Yes, even the monsters were chasing them.”

“Monsters?”

I nodded my head at the two people’s questions.

“yes. In villages and castles, they are chased by soldiers.”

“No, don’t you understand? Why are the monsters chasing you?”

“I don’t know that either.”

How would they react if I told them that they were fighting the system in your world?

Probably, I’d say it’s crazy.

That’s why I didn’t tell Penzarik about this.

Maybe I should ask Gilliant later to find out more.

Because he knows a little bit about this system.

“Anyway, since you two are here, please stay vigil. I’ll close my eyes too.”

“Do you trust us?”

Ilya’s question made me laugh.

“If you two hadn’t believed me, would you have come this far? And before that, would you have moved as I said? So, you two trust me, and I trust you both.”

If those two really tried to hurt us, there were plenty of opportunities.

However, the two did not.

That’s why I believe in them.

“joy! The reason I’m saving you is because you can fight the demons. Don’t think nonsense.”

Ilya said that and turned his back. Killian looked at Ilia and said as he walked beside her.

“I just follow Ilia-sama’s decision.”

As we sat down in front of the party, our eyes met Min-young.

“Keep your promise.”

Leaving those words behind, Minyoung closed her eyes.

There were smiles on their faces as if they were having a good dream.

“Where are you going?”

“A cathedral.”

“The Cathedral of the Holy City?”

After joining Ilia and Killian and taking a break, we started running toward the Holy City.

“Why not go to the capital?”

I told Illia who was asking about the conversation with Penzaric.

“If it weren’t for Count Gorgon, the capital teeming with nobles could be dangerous.”

“That makes sense.”

“But, since the festival is coming soon, the whole city will be crazy, right? In particular, if it is a sacred city, there will be huge crowds.”

said Killian, interrupting the conversation.

“When does the festival start?”

When I asked, Killian did the math and answered.

“After the Red Moon period ends, the festival begins. We have about five days left.”

The Red Moon started while staying in Shunen’s village.

Ten days have passed since then.

“Then you should arrive at least before the festival starts.”

“It should be. The cathedral will host the festival, so the paladins and priests will be very busy. If you are going to get help, you have to go before then.”

“By the way, Killian is an assassin and knows a lot about the Church, right?”

“My adoptive father was a priest.”

Unexpectedly, Ilia was most surprised by Killian’s calm words.

“what?! Didn’t you say something like that?”

“You didn’t ask.”

“No, well, yes, but.”

It must have been a fact that even Ilya didn’t know.

Kyaaa!

Just then, a scream was heard over the hill.

“What is going on?”

Because it was a road we had to pass through, its identity was soon revealed.

“In the name of Solar! I will pass judgment on the evil group!”

On the other side of the hill, 15 paladins and priests were dealing with monsters.

And the person raising the sword and shouting at the head of them was someone I knew very well.
