Episode 41. Wind blowing on the continent (1)

“Is this the end? … .”

A man standing on the highest watchtower.

Wizard Gerius trailed off in a bitter voice.

The path of meditation in search of enlightenment.

I met a priest, a mercenary, and a younger brother.

It was fun.

An experience of the world that cannot be learned at the Magic Tower.

There I found the germ of enlightenment.

A war with monsters encountered in the process.

We could not ignore the requests of helpless people asking for help.

If there were seniors, there would have been an outcry.

Above all, wizards are people who possess cool-headed rationality.

He had no sympathy whatsoever for the deaths of ordinary people.

But Gerius failed to do so.

All the people are humans with the same red blood as themselves.

A battle ensued as expected.

This is my first time experiencing such a brutal fight.

Monsters were not afraid of magic.

I was embarrassed.

Gerius grew like a flower in a greenhouse under the protection of the Magic Tower.

As a child, he excelled at magic and was greatly admired by his elders.

The difficult magic tower master personally selected him as his disciple.

Even at the Magic Tower, he was treated like a semi-noble.

There was no need to use magic like today.

I realized it only when I faced reality.

That your skills are poor.

“Aaaahhh!”

“Kaaaaaaak.”

The screams of humans pierced my ears.

Those who had been alive just a moment ago were killed by the orc blades.

Crunchy.

Orcs biting and chewing the nape of a human’s neck with their sharp teeth.

Blue eyes shining with the madness of slaughter.

Parrrr.

Gerius clenched his fists in unknown anger.

The sorrow of a wizard who was not strong enough.

I realized that the life I had believed in until now was at the level of a child.

The magical truth that I learned only when I was close to death.

Only the strong could be confident in the face of death.

Weeeeeee.

“Manahole!”

Gerius ordered with desperation.

Now, one last shot left.

I shouted a magic spell towards the end.

Even if I died, I couldn’t leave the orcs alive even for a second.

at that time!

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

Kueeeeeeek!

KEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The screams of orcs erupted from all directions along with an unexpected explosion.

Quad deud deuk!

The sound of bones breaking and skin exploding continued.

“uh… … . uh!”

“What is this…?” … .”

Orcs flew through the air.

The severed body flew in chunks, sprinkling blood.

“Everyone die!!!”

Murderous cries followed.

Burbububbung!

The orcs rushing through the breached barrier exploded with powerful force.

Paaaat!

A bright blue spirit shining through them!

Wow! Sigh!

Severed oaks piled up wherever the spirit passed.

Even if you think about it, there was no one who could stop them.

Both the ogre and the troll have fallen.

Gerius looked at a man with surprised eyes.

He is standing holding a sword.

The sound of my pounding heart can be heard in my ears.

Then, I pursed my lips and a name came out.

“jin… … .”

***

thud! thud! thud!

My heart is beating like crazy.

I can’t calm down.

Orc corpses were spread everywhere.

Orcs spilling dark blue blood.

The head and limbs were cut off.

There is no orc that is safe from the sword.

An unimaginable carnage unfolded in my hands.

Although there was emotional turmoil, I did not feel guilty.

A monster that cannot coexist with humans.

If I hadn’t gotten rid of them, my friends would have ended up like that.

Kueh! Kueeeeee!

The surviving orcs slowly retreat and begin to retreat.

Chwiik! Chira la la la!

Monsters leaving the village like the ebb of the tide.

Those who survived just stared blankly at the horde of monsters moving away.

He looks mesmerized.

“Oh God… … . May your mercy be upon this place.”

Weeeeeee.

Cheyney showed his strength to the wounded.

Surprisingly, the serious wounds healed like a lie.

Witnessing divine power for the first time.

This place… … It’s really this world.

“jin… … .”

Zeuter and Phil approach and call out their names.

Hesitation is evident.

I would have known that my skills were above intermediate level.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You had a harder time than us.”

“The spirit was truly amazing!”

The two also fought fiercely.

The flesh and blood of the Orcs on the armor proved it.

“Zeuter boasted about his great skills, so why was his armor torn?”

“… It has to be one or two people. Still, it’s just me, so this is it. “Big.”

We relaxed by telling light jokes.

I looked around.

Several villagers were killed.

His body was torn apart by the orcs’ attack.

In addition, about 20 people were seriously injured.

Cheyney continuously used his strong divine power to heal them.

Gerius is meditating to replenish his mana.

The surviving villagers carried the dead away in sorrow.

The corpse of a human being who had been brutally murdered, which I had seen for the first time in my life.

Feelings of grief and mourning were shared.

“what… Should I say thank you… … .”

The village chief came closer and bowed his head.

“no. “I’m glad I met the monster here.”

Gerius, who had just woken up, answered the village chief in calm words.

It looks like he has realized something deeply.

This battle seemed to help.

“Jina.”

Brother Gerius gestured and called to one side.

“Did you notice anything strange while dealing with ogres or trolls?”

I thought about it carefully.

The scene that comes to mind at that time.

“The trolls had a strange look in their eyes.”

“Strange?”

“It felt like they were being controlled by something rather than their will. “It seemed like he didn’t feel any fear or fear.”

“Hmm… … .”

Gerius pondered and approached the trolls outside the fence.

I followed behind.

“Manascan.”

Gerius performs magic.

MRI scan on a dead monster.

“also… … .”

I did a Gerius impression.

There seems to be a secret I don’t know about.

“Brother, what’s going on?”

“Izzy was subdued by a charm spell. It seems like the work of a high-ranking wizard… … “I don’t know much more than that.”

A level of magic that is difficult to guess.

It feels uncomfortable.

A planned war provocation using monsters.

Those who encouraged this incident were not easy to recall.

“Who did that?”

“In the case of the orcs, it seems like the leadership level is under a spell.”

“then… … “Are you saying this whole incident was someone’s plan?”

“maybe.”

Gerius nodded.

A confident look.

at that time.
