I’m Not a Hero Like You

93 – 31. It’s up to the opponent.

In the case of outsiders who are stranded inside the village, there are those who wait patiently for the situation to calm down.

For example, there are those who actively seek out information and try to understand the situation. There was a lot of movement going on.

It was the responsibility of the village guards to intervene and stop this turmoil and confusion, but they were equally distracted.

In this case, it was close to a miracle that the riot did not erupt, and it was because the help of the Edenrevan Regiment branch staff was the reason why they acted quickly.

“It’s a lot of trouble.”

“… What kind of disaster is this because one person was wrong?”

A demon with blue skin.

Ruslan, who was in the Edenleban Regiment branch, was also communicating smoothly with the guards just in case.

The two stood side by side at the entrance of the branch building, looking at the people crowded inside with their emotions against the background of the empty village.

Of course, it was also a disaster caused by the remnants of the Demon King’s army, openly called the remnants of the demons, so there was plenty of room for sparks to fly to the Edenrevan Regiment if something went wrong.

The atrocities between the regiment and the remnants of the Demon King’s army won’t be such an important issue for those whose eyes are turned upside down.

‘How you want to believe is important.’

Because it is the instinct of the weak to want the weak who will remain silent even when they pour out their resentment rather than resent an irresistible enemy.

Actually, they are not weak, but they cannot be persecuted.

In the early morning, several men and men who tried to attack Kariel were killed by the soldiers following the demon corps commander.

And they currently have a temporary military camp near the entrance of the village, albeit a small one.

Thanks to that, no one was in a position where they could easily escape through the entrance.

Except for the entrance, the rest of the body is impossible to carry, no matter how you remove it.

No matter how they try to get out of the body….

“This has caused rumors to circulate among the local merchants.”

“Since the lord has the prestige, he will use his hands, but… I don’t know again. It might turn out surprisingly well.”

At the guard’s disappointing words, Ruslan pondered for a while on what to do with the post-processing from the ruler’s point of view.

“It’s fortunate that this is Metran, but if we were in another country, even we would be demons, and we might have been killed or hanged on the gallows to vent our anger.”

“Does it go that far?”

“Yes. Anything. Still, this is one of the few countries where demons who escaped from the demon king’s army peacefully joined the human union thanks to Grandeus. There were a lot of people who were helped, so the antipathy was relatively shallow.”

Metran doesn’t regard him as a symbol just because Grandeus defeated Rueld.

He influenced many places starting with Metran.

The reason why they were able to come together peacefully even in the midst of conflict and conflict is because, after all, his presence, the one with the greatest sense of incongruity, led them to come together in the name of justice.

And what made that possible was overwhelming power.

Even with numerical and qualitative violence, where he existed, even the Demon King’s army at the time couldn’t easily launch an offensive.

“If you look at it that way, even the son of the great hero who saved the world seems to have suffered a lot.”

Unsurprisingly, the guards didn’t curse at him.

“Isn’t he resentful? Aren’t you being cited as the main culprit in this situation?”

Ruslan asked.

“It would be a lie if there was no resentment, but in fact it should be the opposite. It’s okay to be thankful, but… Wouldn’t that be good for people now? I’ve heard a lot of anecdotes since I was young and grew up, but not everyone is like that. Before that, isn’t Mr. Ruslan being talked about by the people around him because he accepted him here at the branch?”

“I have to accept that. It is a fact.”

Maybe.

This situation may not have been a problem caused by the descendants of the Great Hero.

I wonder if that last corps commander of the demons originally had business here.

But when I came back, there was a descendant of the great hero?

It could be something like that.

“Any coincidence like that? Tsk!”

Even though he said something, the guard clicked his tongue quietly.

Ruslan spoke as if praying.

“Whatever it is, it should work out.”

“I thought it would take at least four months when everyone was flocking to the chapel of the Church of Irenis. But seeing it dismantled from the front, I thought that a person is a person.”

“Did you see it yourself?”

“From afar.”

It was different from the presence.

Even though he was a kid much younger than himself on the outside.

That was, from the moment he appeared, to the moment he enlisted the crowd and carried out his will, it was truly a masterpiece.

“Is everyone’s lineage like that?”

“I don’t know.”

Is it because he inherited it or was he born with it?

Or maybe both.

… Only they themselves will know.

“But yesterday, a bunch of rats were agitated, and strangely, not a single cat was found. Didn’t the chickens crow today?”

“Uh, come to think of it, is that so?”

“It turned out that they were all dead. I didn’t even have a clue. Thanks to this, the owners cried and cried. There are some people who are ominous, wondering if the plague is over.”

“Is that the case?”

In case of a major change, the animal’s instinct and intuition tend to react ahead of human intuition.

She hadn’t seen it, but she recalled that her colleague had said it was strange to see the omen around her.

‘Maybe.’

The crisis may not have even begun yet.

Did you say that bad news overlaps at once?

Or not.

I wonder if the situation was entangled in this way at the time of overlap.

Just by blocking the entrance and eliminating the possibility of writing a beacon, the village becomes Mujugongsan.

Even if the beacon was lit, it would take well over half a day for the lord to pack up his troops and come running.

From the beginning, since this was an inside area within Metran, there was little threat to foreign powers, so there were only a few management troops to maintain public order.

In the past, men and women alike claimed to be warriors and fighters, but now they have become extremely weak.

Just like unconditional peace, it eats away even the bold spirit.

“It’s time.”

Vargo moved towards the village entrance.

Some followed him, and some stayed behind and began to organize the barracks.

No matter what, the business here is about to come to an end.

Even though the old remnants of the demon lord’s army marched openly, no one dared to suppress them.

The majority of people were inside, but the people around them were empty, but Virgo started to climb the stairs as if it didn’t matter.

The place I was aiming for was the same place as before.

A few seconds would have been enough if he had gone by himself, but moving with a subordinate was a kind of armed demonstration and at the same time a process to instill pride.

Even if you die, you will see this scene through the eyes and ears of the surviving men… It will spread to comrades.

‘… What if I survive?’

Why such a premise?

He stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky.

“Commander?”

“That’s strange.”

It’s quiet.

Wherever a group of humans stays, there are always beasts and insects infiltrate them.

However, such signs are seldom captured.

‘Something.’

That’s strange.

But it was too late for him to withdraw.

‘A trap?’

Something is different.

“Eggplant.”

Even so, we cannot stop here.

I had to check Vargo.

There are so many things to ask.

Also from Kariel.

And with those who led this situation.

The decision to be made by the beings who will be watching all this from afar.

I was very curious.

‘How far is your arrangement going?’

The Demon King of Wisdom.

The first thing that comes to mind is, of course, gold.

A wolf or fox in the shape of gold.

But what comes to mind more clearly than that is, of course.

… A vast golden land.

It was still clear.

To form a mountain, form a strange rock formation, form a desert, form an iceberg.

… A golden land where everything is free and harmonious.

But even such gold.

I didn’t invade as much as the sea.

What was the reason?

This is a strange question.

He always regretted not asking this.

The answer is no longer obtainable.

—-

“Uh, there… Are you really okay?”

Kariel did not draw his sword.

Looking at those around him, he held onto the hilt of his sword for a while and held on to it as if he were praying.

Then, as if he had no regrets, he removed his hand from the sword.

The anticipation of those who watched for various reasons, including spectators and surveillance, quickly turned into disappointment.

From noble mtl dot com

“… ….”

In response to Leo’s question, Kariel only gave her a slight nod.

To break through the current crisis, no matter how you use it.

… It’s just a compromise

It is the same as giving in in the end.

If anyone sees useless pride, he is stubborn.

In the first place, I don’t like it either, and I don’t want that either.

Above all, if you pull that thing out, you have to sign an oath, which is even more ridiculous.

“The divination is very ominous.”

Aiming for Leo, who retreated from Kariel and returned to the arms of the group.

Dake reminded me of my anxiety by tying my hat with a shy face.

“It is not just a matter of who lives and dies.”

Lucy Li snorts her nose.

“Again making a fuss. It’s a big deal when someone dies, so it’s a small thing?”

“… ….”

Ruirin was calm, but somehow lost her mind.

Leo asked, worried about his appearance.

“Are you okay?”

“… Oh, me? Yes. I’m OK.”

Kariel, her teacher, was not a good figure no matter how you look at it.

Even standing still seems precarious.

However, there was no more time for him now.

The relief knights who were by my side are gone now.

He was obviously alone.

And over there.

Those who have just climbed the stairs and reached the 4th floor here.

With a clear purpose, Kariel was burning hostility toward him.

Burgo stopped ten steps away.

He asked with nonchalant eyes.

“Did you hesitate to draw until I came?”

“No.”

The tough look was still there, but maybe it was because the enemy appeared.

The momentum has changed.

Kariel quietly answered Virgo’s question.

“What if?”

“Because that is not mine.”

“…… Are you saying you won’t pull it out? Or can’t you pull it out?”

“Think whatever you want.”

“Very disappointing.”

After all, you were also a clown.

Vargo, who bit the soldiers, grabs the jet-black spear again.

“Then.”

His figure disappeared, and only the Shinyoung stretched out and shot towards Kariel.

It covered distance and space in an instant, just like an arrow shot at a direct angle.

Before the observers reflexively moved their eyes and even turned their heads.

Vargo reached Kariel’s face long before that.

“!!”

But.

… ….

It was Virgo who opened the distance first by slowly stepping back.

“What trick is that?”

The sword that Kariel stretched out.

The one-handed sword that Elhermina handed over was straight.

If Vargo had made up his mind and closed the distance, he would have been pierced right through.

No, the premise is strange.

I’m just stretching.

Who would willingly throw himself into it?

“… ….”

Kariel looked hungry even on her tongue.

She didn’t have the energy to do that, so she seemed to replace the sigh with a short exhalation.

“… ….”

Something has changed.

It has changed.

But I don’t know what it is.

Certainly compared to when I first saw it, this is just a faint lingering flame that seems to go out at any moment.

For some reason.

… It didn’t look easy to turn off.

-The black light that the sword talked about is a later issue. It’s not that important now.

A situation where you either die or go black.

-Since you are in an empty state, you are in a position where you have no choice but to be influenced more by external forces than before.

Even the slightest warm wind blows to the point that it cuts through his skin.

Kariel’s body and senses, she was in such a terrible state that she couldn’t even speak right now.

-Use everything to the maximum. Even so, the current you is full of flaws far less than that of an ordinary human being.

Still, the technology remains.

The art remains.

Because the body that optimized it remains.

Although his body has never been perfected or refined.

-Now that it’s completely empty, I think I’ll be able to show off everything. As for the sensory part, I temporarily remind you. The limitations of the body are meaningless now, so let’s just solve them all.

Even so.

-What if you relax and lose even a little bit of body control? The magic of shaking the inside due to the beating of one’s own heart will unfold. Because it’s not that good.

Above all.

-The compatibility is not good, but rather, that’s why it can be said that the compatibility has become very suitable now. Don’t forget your specialty.

What are you going to do from now on?

-Because it completely depends on the opponent.

And that was your specialty, right?
