83 – Defense – 1

After finishing the ordeal first, Cecile came out when I was ready.

It was unexpected. Even in the game, when Cecile went in with her, she tended to come out quite late.

Well, that’s it, and I’ll ask you some important questions first.

“Have you seen other people’s trials?”

“Well…”

It looked like she had a lot to say, but Cecile just stared at me without saying a word. When I pressed for an answer, she shrugged lightly.

“Really? I’m not interested in other people’s pasts.”

“okay?”

That’s a lie.

However, when I say that, I have no intention of grabbing the pod.

“Oh. And this.”

Cecil returned the tranquilizer she had received from me. Five. You didn’t drink this either?

In the original game, people who go through trials tend to drink at least one bottle.

It seemed that Cecile’s mental strength was stronger than expected.

“But is this the end? It’s too easy for an ordeal?”

In a tone full of confidence, Cecile spoke struttingly. to like It is still far away.

“Looks like it? Why don’t you try detecting magic power?”

“…Huh? Now, wait. What is this?”

Cecile, who closed her eyes and used magic detection, a magician’s skill that spreads magic around her to determine the barrier, looked at me with a rather surprised expression.

okay. She must have sensed it too.

It’s just that there’s an ominous energy around here now.

Dark magic power was pouring down to the point where I was burdened with holy power.

The demonic influence here is spreading.

“Hey, is this going to be okay?”

“Are you okay? Now. There. Get ready.”

While I was the first to come out of the ordeal and wait, I had already instructed the knights of the principality to do a few things.

The moment the knights gripped their weapons to carry it out.

-Kurrr…

From the darkness of the aquifers came the cry of a terrifying beast. Cecile unknowingly gripped the wand tightly.

“What is this?”

“I’m trying to make this place akin to hell. So the demons can run rampant the moment they’re unsealed.”

“Gulp. What if I can’t stop this?”

What if I can’t stop it?

I remembered what happened in the game.

At that time, it was a place other than the capital of the principality, but…

All trials and challenges failed.

Or the inability to block this attack.

Defeat the final battle with the demon.

At this time, the result of game over was always the same.

“Every life around here will become the devil’s food. The gates of hell will open and the demons will come out of the world, right?”

Startle. Cecile looked at me with a puzzled face. What are you so surprised about?

You’re cursing the dragon, did you think it wouldn’t be so dangerous?

The world is trying to eat too raw.

“…Tongue, sage. You can stop it, right?”

“of course.”

I transform the moonlight into a bow and at the same time use the priest’s skill, the holy arrow.

As soon as a long, white arrow was created in the moonlight, he drew the string as it was.

-Paaa!!

The torch lit up the darkness with the sound of something exploding. Then, dozens of gloomy monsters were revealed.

Still, Cecil looked quite normal, perhaps because it was a monster of a different form from the hill of corpses she had seen the other day.

There are many.

“God, have mercy on us. God, have mercy on us.”

I chanted a prayer while holding up the Divine Mark. At the same time, a soft light spreads and settles around here.

When Sanctuary, one of the priest’s advanced skills, was completed, the beasts in the dark began to growl as if they were offended.

“Come on. Then.”

I made an arrow again and drew a string. The moment the vigilant monsters of hell showed their hostility to me by dripping sticky saliva.

-Paaagh!!

Another burst of light exploded the bodies of the monsters.

And, starting with that, the guys rush in.

“It’s the beginning of the defense game.”

The swarming monsters were endless. That is because it is naturally created around this space, to be exact, around the ordeal where the challenger is located.

From the point of view of the monsters that rushed like that, it was only natural that we were encroaching on their territory, so it was natural to try to get rid of them.

“Ugh!”

“Roxy!”

A female knight in bikini armor was bitten by a dog-shaped monster, a kobold. With blood dripping from his arm, the longsword of the female knight thrust him into the shoulder and cut through his chest.

“Light!”

A sonorous cry was heard. Divine aura spreads along with him.

Veronica was the owner of the powerful holy power that healed the tired and injured at once.

“Oh! After all, Veronica! Join us soon…?”

It seems that Veronica has also withstood the ordeal. When I said, relieved that there was no particular change. She cried and hugged me as if she was about to burst into tears.

“Hyunwoo… Hyeonu… Black… Hyeonu…”

“Why is he like this? Hey. You’re looking at others.”

“Hey… you, you… heh… heck… wow!!”

finally cried I sighed at the sight of Veronica starting to cry as she hugged me tightly.

You saw it.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

“Heeep. Black… Ugh…”

I patted Veronica on the back. Even while whispering to her that it was okay, Cecil and the Knights of the Principality continued to fight.

“Hey! Can’t we do a romance play later?!”

I knew I would sound like this. Cecile shouted, unable to hold it in, and I stroked Veronica’s head and said,

“I’m fine, don’t cry.”

“Sniff… Yes, I cry because you don’t cry… Black. That’s it.”

I think I know why he’s crying, but I’m fine.

The pretty face is covered with tears and runny nose. I took a handkerchief and wiped her face.

“Now. Anyway, rather than worrying about me…”

“…Yeah…but what is this?”

It was only then that he realized the circumstances around him. Veronica looked around and reached out her hand when she saw a monster charging at her.

– Puff!!

Certainly, perhaps because he is a cardinal-level priest, the power of the torch is incomparable to mine.

She casually unfurled a torch powerful enough to light up the surrounding darkness at once, sniffed her nose a few more times, and stepped forward.

“Anything… I’ll protect you.”

“Uh. Yes. Thank you.”

“This sounds like a quasi-hell… right?”

“Oh. That’s right. Just hold on for a little while, so let’s do a favor.”

This is why priests are essential for this event.

This was because the difficulty level changed drastically depending on whether or not you could use the Sanctuary.

An entity that gives buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies is the most important entity in a defense game.

Of course, it’s not to the extent that I can’t use my sanctuary, but since I’m not as good as Veronica, I think it’s right to get help here.

As she nodded and raised the Divine Mark, the sanctuary was further strengthened.

Some weak monsters melted away as soon as they entered the sanctuary.

The Knights of the Principality felt that it was much easier to respond than before and began to fight more passionately.

“……”

But Cecile was a bit different. She only stared at Veronica, but did not overwhelm her enemies with magic like before.

“Why are you playing?”

“…ah.”

Is it because the atmosphere is a bit different from before? Veronica tilted her head and poked me in the side.

“What’s wrong? The atmosphere seems to be a bit different from before entering the ordeal…”

“Um… I think. Something happened in the ordeal.”

“…who doesn’t know that?”

Veronica frowned and poked her side again. Then he raises his mace and quickly jumps out.

-Kwajik!!

Veronica, who smashed the head of the imp, a small monster that was trying to target the Knights of the Principality, raised her mace.

“The devil will not be able to settle in this place where God protects!”

Priest’s skill Denial of Demons.

At the same time as her cry, the sanctuary was further strengthened, and soon the bodies and weapons of the Knights of the Principality were illuminated with a soft light.

“In the name of God you have become stronger!! Charge!”

Multiple strikes and multiple blessings.

I was begging you, but I didn’t ask you to do it that way.

“…I’m on good terms with the cardinal. Was that why you only wanted to take the cardinal with you?”

“Huh? Uh. What. Right?”

If Veronica supported me in that way, I could easily block these attacks by myself.

With the Knights of the Principality and Cecil in there, this defense must be much easier than I thought.

Cecile looked at Veronica for a moment, then shrugged.

“Then you can’t lose.”

“You’ll need to use your magic later, so save it.”

“You just use Cardinal Veronica, right?”

“What is he?”

I mean, he’s a guy with so much energy.

And because he has the constitution to recover his holy power just by praying while resting.

“…huh.”

With a short snort, she raised her wand. power is gathered

The moment it was embodied in the magical power that began to be contained at the tip of the staff, and turned into dozens or hundreds of magical blades, the blades exploded and swept away the monsters.

“Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Impossible…”

Cecile chuckled.

as if you were saying

Was it because of Veronica’s sanctuary or Cecil’s magic?

Or was it because of the fierce battle between the Knights of the Principality?

The defense progressed more smoothly than I thought, and I was able to reach the end without any damage.

“But why aren’t they coming?”

“Are you sure you failed the test? But what exactly happens when you fail the test?”

What if you fail the ordeal?

I patted Veronica’s shoulder, who was watching the shimmering with cold eyes for some reason.

Veronica hasn’t looked that good since coming back from the ordeal… is this going to be okay?

“Get some rest. You look tired.”

“Ah… yes.”

It was only after I stopped it that Veronica nodded slightly. However, the gaze at the shimmering still did not change.

“Hey. Sage.”

“uh?”

“You have to answer the question.”

oh it. If you fail the ordeal…

In fact, nothing special.

It’s just that it’s mentally damaged and, in severe cases, mental illness.

“Mental illness? But it’s a warrior’s party… No way…

“I think they’re going to get caught. That’s why I told them not to go in.”

“Ha. I don’t think so. Should I bet?”

“It’s good to bet. What should I bet? By the way, I don’t like money. Do you have a card or something?”

“Cadra… I bet the breath of the red rose, the epic card of the Claudia family. You bet the old-fashioned resort card.”

I thought for a moment and then shook my head.

“Huh. A man trying to say two things with one bite? No. Don’t change it. Go back.”

“No. Take that and put on the shackles of Mana, the Epic Card. I’ll also put on the Red-Eyes Sky Dragon.”

oh I can’t stand epic cards.

“…Now, you look confident.”

“of course.”

We spent a lot of time laughing and chatting, but the two still didn’t come out.

“If you go into someone else’s past… and get shocked and can’t come out, is that also considered a failure?”

“It has nothing to do with the success of the ordeal.”

In the first place, seeing someone else’s past is no different from a bonus. It’s ridiculous to give a penalty for not clearing the bonus stage.

“They. Aren’t they looking at your past and being tied to it?”

What do you think it’s worth seeing… but I think it’s like that too.

I would want to turn away, but should I say I was good at not running away, or should I say I was foolish.

“It can’t be helped.”

“What if they are really mentally ill?”

“How do you do it? You just have to treat it.”

In this world, there is no such thing as an incurable disease as it is easy to get sick.

Although there is a difference in difficulty, all kinds of diseases and conditions can be treated somehow, so even if they are mentally ill, there is no problem.

Shouldn’t treatment stop it?

I put my hands in the pockets of my robe and walked. The place where my steps were heading was toward the shimmering.

“Where?!”

“Take them.”

“…Why? Why you?”

“Huh? So who’s going? You still look tired. Cecil…”

“So do I.”

You used magic so ignorantly earlier.

As magic is also related to mental strength, Cecile needed to rest.

So, in the end, I am the only one.

“Are you… are you okay?”

“I’m always fine.”

I didn’t use that much power during defense.

“You don’t mean that! Really… are you really okay!”

“Why are you screaming?”

I smiled at Veronica. And after stroking her hair, I met her eyes as she stared blankly at me without even arranging her hair.

“I’ll be back.”

“…..”

Veronica said nothing. Just staring at me helplessly. Patting her on the head like that, I went into the ordeal.

“Ah… ah… Oppa… It’s an oppa… Ehehehe~”

Leventia and laughing like a child.

“Haaa…”

I found Evangeline wincing, staring into space, gasping for breath, with a red face and bloodshot eyes.

Five.
