The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

52 – Legion of Darkness (2)

In the middle of the barracks under the scorching sun, the attention of the soldiers was focused. Damon, who was tied up tightly and only his wounds were exposed, kept uttering curse words in his hazy mind.

“Lord, I will kill you… … . it’s you… … .”

“I’m going to crumple it.”

The soldier who was listening to Damon next to him followed his words with a funny tone. The other soldiers saw it and started to laugh, and I in the corner also laughed while drinking water from a water bottle.

“This dog… … . Mess…!”

Damon frothed and cursed, but each time he cursed, only blood gushed from the wound in his chest. He couldn’t do anything because of his tightly bound body and the blood that kept pouring out.

Damon was not executed in the kingdom. Instead, given his deep wounds, the plan was to debilitate him by causing him to continue to bleed out until he bleeds to death.

“It’s just one step.”

Capturing the front-line commander was a colossal achievement, but that didn’t mean we were winning. Unlike the pitiful Damon, there were many generals in the Pandemonium who had terrifying fighting skills and resourcefulness. It was clear that it would be a tough fight as there would be more talented players from next time.

The warrior nodded at my words and said.

“I tried to spread the news that Damon was captured as far as possible. There will definitely be cracks in the enemy camp, and other military camps can be pushed out quickly.”

“It is also important that all the magic stones connected to Damon are released after Damon dies. It means that if there are no magic stones, the area where the demons can display their skills will be reduced.”

“Yes.”

When the hero talked about the magic stone, he made a strangely uncomfortable expression and turned his head away. As I tried to think of the meaning of that expression, Kiberes put a hand on my shoulder and said,

“I am worried about who will be the next commander. Because the commanders of the Pandemonium are all terrifyingly talented. Your martial arts are excellent, warrior, but I am not sure what will happen next to them.”

kiberes. Standing at the forefront of this battle and making the biggest contribution, she was still receiving suspicion and uncomfortable stares, but she was not rejected as before. She looked at Damon with a complicated look and then said to me.

“Damon… … . If it wasn’t for the magic crystal issue, I would have sent it alive.”

the warrior asked.

“Is it because I was your fiancé?”

“The information that the demon king’s son was horribly murdered is enough to raise the fighting spirit of the enemies. Damon is of no use as a commander or a combatant, and he has a needlessly high status, so it would have been more helpful to lower morale if he just dressed up and sent him alive.”

“That makes sense.”

The warrior nodded and looked back. As long as the magic stone element existed, Kayberes’ remarks were nothing more than meaningless remarks about what-ifs. I asked Kiberes.

“What are you going to do next?”

“I want to fight at the vanguard of the kingdom, but I don’t know what effect a commander or soldier from the Asmodians will have on morale. That’s why I can’t say where I want to go without haste.”

Saying that, Kayberes stretched his hand from my shoulder toward my hand. Then he started talking in a low voice into my ear. Loud enough for the warrior to hear.

“If there is a small unit with a special mission, I would like to go there… … .”

I saw a hand moving as if asking me to hold it. Reluctantly, he reached out to grab his hand, but after seeing the hero’s strange gaze, he withdrew his hand again. The hero looked at Kiberes and said.

“I will tell you in advance. You can’t come to our party.”

As if expecting the hero’s backlash, Kiberes did not waver. He tilted his head slightly and brushed his soft, curly hair.

“Why? I know the demon army better than anyone. I can give directions well. I don’t think force is holding back. Is it because I am a demon?”

“Because your powerlessness is holding you back. One porter is enough, and you can’t match the level of combat we require.”

Kiberes gripped my shoulder tightly. The target of her anger is a warrior, but I don’t know why she grabbed my shoulder. Lena walked from the other direction as she sat in the car uncomfortably unable to shake her hand off.

“what. Do you fight with demons and dragon love?”

The hero glanced at Lena and said to Kebereth.

“Shall we do this? among our party members. If anyone but you wins, I’ll consider it.”

Kayberes looked at Lena. Come to think of it, Lena was one of the members who tortured Kiberes to death. Kayberes nodded at Lena and said.

“I wanted to pay off the torturer’s debt, but that’s all right. I will prove my skills here and now.”

Lena smiled and shook her head.

“You want to stick with me? I don’t know how to live don’t do it.”

Then she shook her hand and tried to turn around again. Kabeles frowned at Lena’s behavior and said, putting her hand on her waist.

“Long and short… … .”

In that instant, Lena came right in front of Kayberes’ nose and grabbed her hand as she drew the knife. In his other hand, he was holding a dagger and poking at the nape of Caybereth’s neck, moving his wrist flexibly as if he were getting a tattoo.

Lena rolled her eyes upward, looked at me and the hero alternately, then rolled her tongue in her mouth and laughed.

Kayberes blinked, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Lena let go of Kaybereth’s sword again and took a step back. Then he wiped his hands and said.

“I told you not to. yes?”

And Lena disappeared again. Kiberes was just staring blankly in the direction Lena had disappeared. It wasn’t that he was surprised because he had seen the hero often. The hero looked at Kiberes with a calm face and said.

“Are you going to add more?”

Kayberes turned his head.

Ashria came nearby at some point, warmed up, and glanced at Kiberes, giving her notice. She was wearing one bloody black knuckle and one golden knuckle, and she relaxed her body in an exaggerated posture and gave a sneaky look.

Kayberes confirmed the subtle arm muscles that showed up whenever Ashuria moved her arm, and the eyes that seemed to be distracted but accurately captured Kayberes’ movements.

If you apply for sparring with her now, one-sided violence under the guise of sparring will follow.

What I was sure of, it seemed that Kiberes was also convinced. It was because she said this while wiping the sweat from her forehead.

“….Warrior. I think you’re right. I’m missing a lot to be at this party.”

Ashuria turned around with her shoulders drooping in blatant disappointment. As soon as she was gone, Kayberes let out a sigh of relief and looked back at the hero. said the warrior.

“Please work at the rear command post. There must be something you can do there.”

Kayberes nodded. The hero leaned back on his chair and drank water with a languid expression. Kiberes looked at the hero and said to me.

“Come to think of it, I don’t know your name.”

“You mean that?”

“I’m going to go far now, but I’d like you to tell me your name.”

The hero also looked this way with a strange expression. I said with a smile.

“I have no name to give.”

“Are you still acting like a bad flirt? I… … .”

Cayberes continued to speak with a sad expression on his face, so I cut it off and replied.

“Because I left my name in the empire. Until I arrive in the Empire and finish my tasks, I have no name to speak of. So… … .”

I got up from my seat. And he hugged Kiberes tightly once. Her body smelled of blood and light sweat. And I brushed her hair and said:

“I will come back and let you know.”

Kiberes looked at me blankly, then shook his head and laughed again. The hero looked at me and Kayberes, then turned his head and started playing with the cup. Kiberes said, holding my hand.

“…Should I believe it?”

I couldn’t figure it out either. Will you come back and say your name? won’t come back

So I had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer, and Kiberes decided to believe it.

Our parting ended there. Because she had to be transferred to the rear command, and we had to prepare for the operation again. I stretched as I watched Cabares recede.

“How about we wake up now?”

The hero stared blankly at Kiberes’ back and smiled.

“Yes. mister.”
