The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

84 – 081. Chaos-3

“Kiik….”

The sword pierced the flesh.

The monster’s bones were cut and its breath cut off.

When I pulled out the sword again, black blood was splattered on the floor.

The monsters that completely encroached and hid their roots inside their bodies had no choice but to kill them.

“The sweeping is over with the object that the teacher just killed.”

“Did I kill them all… ?”

“Yes, it must have been carried out even to the confirmation kill.”

“Yes, it was a lot of trouble.”

I put Prach in the scabbard while wiping the foreign matter from the monster’s body.

The ice pillars that were made to block the retreat did their job, so they shattered them along with the monsters in the ice.

Since all monsters in the vicinity have been gathered and dealt with, we won’t see each other for a while.

I took a step towards the depths again.

“Are you going without a break?”

“Even though it was an unavoidable fight, it delayed a lot of time. We must hurry.”

The monsters weren’t particularly strong. It was a strength equivalent to a B-class monster if it was evaluated highly.

However, the amount was quite large, so I had a hard time processing it.

‘Shouldn’t you have used more magic? If I had done that, I would have been able to annihilate it a little faster…….’

[Use of magic in a confined space is highly likely to be a bad thing. Your judgment is not wrong.]

‘What if I reduced the firepower?’

[It must have had an adverse effect on the two people nearby.]

‘I must have.’

Fire and ice cause changes in temperature, water and land create changes in terrain, and wind and lightning create an urgent environment.

Considering that any type of magic would change the situation on the battlefield, it was right to avoid it.

Unless it is an open space or a wide spread.

[Don’t be impatient. And if you mess up, that’s the worst thing ever. Always choose the lesser evil than the worst. I’m sorry to my father, but I think the reality of losing you is more heartbreaking than his father.]

‘…… Okay.’

I slowed down my running pace with a wry smile.

Prach, as well as Renee, were worried about me.

It would be better to show a relaxed appearance so that they can feel at ease.

“Sir.”

As an automatic reflex at Lin’s call, I grabbed the handle of Prach.

However, as if he didn’t call it to mean that an enemy had appeared, Rin hurriedly added his words.

“No enemy this time! There is absolutely no need to prepare for battle.”

“I am not an enemy… ?”

“Yes. Seeing that I can feel the mana that is not mixed with impurities, it seems that I am a survivor.”

A survivor of the depths where the majority of people turned into monsters.

There was only one person that came to mind.

“Take me there.”

“Okay.”

Lin, who was in charge of the rear, took the lead and started running.

After running for a while, she suddenly stopped at a certain point.

She stared at the wall in silence, then pulled out her sword and held it up.

Sweet!

I heard the sound of a snake crawling.

At the same time, a solid line was drawn on the wall and collapsed along the grain of the line.

Unchangingly excellent swordsmanship. But unlike usual, Rin wasn’t holding her sword.

“Oohhhhh!”

Beyond her collapsed walls, a stocky dwarf roared at her, raising a greatsword the size of her own.

Even in the unexpected situation, Rin didn’t care and let her sword pass the attack.

Her greatsword slashed through the air and landed on the ground to Rin’s right.

“It’s quite the way, girl. I thought you would block my attack.”

“It was just that the attacks were so monotonous that it was obvious.”

“Then what about this?”

The Dwarf, who had been spinning around in place, swung the greatsword vigorously using the rotational force.

This time, it was an attack that was too difficult to pass, so I took out my Prach and got in between them.

Chaeeng-!

Sparks flew as the clear swordsman resounded in all directions.

Although he managed to block the heavy blow of the greatsword, both of his arms felt numb.

It must be that the opponent’s physical strength is equal to or greater than Bern’s.

“Sir! Are you okay?!”

“Gwa, it’s okay.”

Swinging her arms a couple of times, she loosened the stiff muscles.

I took a straight posture again and prepared for the next attack, but the dwarf holding a greatsword was looking at me blankly.

From noble mtl dot com

No, to be precise, he was looking at my demonic sword.

“Huh! Are there any crazy coincidences like this? I never thought you would see the demonic sword I made here.”

“…… Does that mean you are the king of the dwarves?”

“It’s Bullmond. Won’t the other dwarves tell me my name too?”

“Yes.”

“Tsk! Anyway, they’re guys who like to leave things to me.”

Bulmond takes out a thick pipe tobacco from his chest and puts it in his mouth.

He put small embers into the pipe with magic and emitted thick smoke.

“Rather than that, the fact that you came here means you know what the current situation is, right?”

“Of course.”

“Did the guys outside the mine know about this situation and let you guys in?”

“No. I came here unilaterally after feeling something strange inside the mine.”

“Hmm….”

Bullmond looked at Rene for a moment out of the corner of his eye and nodded his head without saying anything.

It seems that he figured out how we were able to enter the mine without incurring a backlash from the dwarves.

He was a dwarf with extraordinary insight and grasp of the situation to the extent that he had inherited the throne until now.

“Write… ! Whoa… ! I must have heard that you wanted to save me from the demonic sword.”

“I’m not saying it wrong, but I came to Mr. Bullmond because I have other things I want to ask of you.”

I took out Polymorph’s magic sword I had brought from the Dungeon of Jealousy.

Bulmond glanced at the demonic sword and then clicked his tongue.

Looking at his crumpled expression, it seems that the condition of the demonic sword is not very good.

“The outside looks fine, but the inside is completely ruined. It will take two days to repair.”

“Do you know just by looking?”

“Kid. Do you know how many years I have been hammering iron? A cursory glance will give you an estimate, dude.”

Hagi, he was the apex of the dwarves, a race that is said to be the highest peak in the blacksmithing industry.

When it comes to weapon status, smelting, and minerals, his words are absolute.

“Anyway, restoring the third demonic sword means completing the original demonic sword.”

“… ….”

“If you’re going to ask how do you know it’s number three, put it down your throat. The fact that your demonic sword absorbed the demonic sword of blood is known without needing to be said. Kid.”

“As expected, it is incomparable.”

“Because I became such an obvious flattery. Come on, let’s get out of this damn place.”

Bulmond limped out from the other side of the wall.

It was only then that I realized that his thigh had been gnawed in half.

When I tried to take out the recovery potion that I had prepared, Bullmond raised his hand and refused.

“It’s no use. It’s a bite from a damn bastard that’s nestled inside the mine. Neither potion nor healing magic will work.”

“Still, it’s better to stop the bleeding… ….”

“I plan to amputate his leg altogether along with the affected part when I go up to the ground later, so leave it alone. It’s enough to replace the missing leg with a prosthetic leg, so let’s hurry up and go to the ground. Why is the rescue team so slow?”

“Oh, I see.”

The Bullmond I’ve seen so far is tougher than anyone else.

Even though he lost one of his legs, he didn’t think it was a big deal and was enduring the pain steadfastly.

The appearance was the equipment of the Three Kingdoms, but the action was close to that of Guan Yu.

[My father is a dwarf born in a lava field, so he has a hot and wild personality. So even at the time he created this body, he said he didn’t like the design and tried to melt it into lava…….]

‘That’s why he said he would be less sad when his father died?’

[I won’t deny that. No matter how great his father was, he was an idiot who tried to kill this body once.]

The burning child and the father who really tried to burn the child.

He exclaimed in admiration at the wonderful bean flour family.

[No matter what, my father has always been like that. You will understand.]

‘Okay.’

The back of him refusing the invitation to be placed on his back and walking with an honest attitude probably stems from Bullmond’s stubborn personality.

Is there someone in the world who can stop him?

It was a moment when I laughed and said that no one would be able to stop me.

Without any warning, a chilly killing spree pierced my back from behind.

Including Bulmond, Renee and Lynn all turned their heads toward me.

Their faces were a mixture of surprise, fear and contempt, respectively.

I gulped and looked back.

Shadow under a torch not far away.

Among them, a gray-colored dog with six eyes poked its head out.

She was approaching me with her mouth wide open enough to tear her cheeks.

My vision turned black in an instant.
