The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 93

The soldier shouted save (93)

After finishing the meal.

The punitive force immediately resumed the search.

“Everyone get down…! It’s the Death Knight!”

It was less than 30 minutes after the search had resumed.

The punitive force quickly lowers their stance with surprised faces.

“… … .”

A death knight that stays still in one place.

The skilled archer examines the sight closely and raises his voice.

“… … It looks like it’s spinning around in front of some dagger?”

Magic focused on Junseok Rodley’s eyes.

Park Min-cheol looks at me as he speaks, showing his archer-like side.

“Allen, is that the dagger you threw?”

Why is the dagger of Croa that I threw here?

There was no need to think deeply.

“This is the first time I’ve been back in two days.”

The first place where the majority of the punitive force met their deaths, with hundreds of thousands of skeletons encountered.

The knight discovers something and lets out a voice of indignation.

“… … Damn, I see those guys’ belongings.”

Weapons of the punitive force scattered everywhere.

Judging by the fact that there was no armor visible, the body seemed to be wandering like an undead.

“Mincheol, what should I do? Should I turn around and go?”

At Junseok Rodlier’s words, he hesitates for a moment and asks me.

“Allen, what’s that dagger? There’s no way the Death Knight’s aggro hasn’t subsided yet… … .”

“This is a dagger imbued with the divine power of a candidate for sainthood.”

“… Ah, my younger sister was a candidate for sainthood.”

He was nodding, but suddenly he frowned and whispered.

“… … The player’s children can’t be born with the saint candidate trait?”

What Park Min-cheol wanted to say was simple.

If I inherited the save privilege as a ‘bug’, it means my parents are from another world.

However, Park Min-cheol asserted that a child from another world cannot be born with the power of a saint.

‘You probably think what I said was a lie.’

I couldn’t understand what Park Min-cheol meant by ‘bug’, but there was no need to actively explain it.

“… … I see, so you’re not biological siblings.”

Because Park Min-cheol understood the situation in his own way.

“So what are you going to do, you’re from another world? Are you going to take a detour?”

“… … No, if that dagger contains the power of the saint, then I must retrieve it.”

“Ha, but isn’t it guarded by a Death Knight?”

A death knight who seems unwilling to leave Croa’s dagger.

The knight, looking back and forth between his comrades’ belongings and the Death Knight, grabs his sword with trembling hands.

“How about we deal with him here?”

“Hey, you mean Death Knight?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! The majority of the punitive force is against that guy… … .”

“Things are different now. He’s the only undead here. There are no more skeletons in the hundreds of thousands, so now is your chance.”

Park Min-cheol is troubled by the article’s words.

“… … Even if you kill the Death Knight now, it will come back to life anyway.”

“Didn’t you say you need that dagger? If ten people fight together, we can handle it without any casualties.”

“… … Certainly, if you just plan your tactics correctly… … .”

Are you trying to tell me to deal with the Death Knight?

Seeing Park Min-cheol missing something, he gets up from his seat and heads towards a corpse.

“Oh, Allen?”

“Hey, where are you going?”

The corpse of Priest Whale, turned into an undead, mutilated beyond recognition.

He glances around and speaks to the punitive force.

“It should be around here.”

“… …What are you talking about?”

“The holy relic that Priest Whale had. A statue of a goddess the size of a palm.”

I remember it clearly.

An object that radiated divine power similar to that of Croa.

This is the holy relic of Priest Whale, who summoned the Death Knight.

“That’s right, there definitely was something like that… … !”

“Seo, the holy relic! Let’s spread out and look for Whale’s holy relic!”

The punitive force scans the ground, wary of the Death Knight’s movements.

Just as the undead punitive force dropped their weapons, the goddess statue that Whale was holding must have fallen somewhere.

“Come here! I think I found it!”

Erendi, with a bright smile, calls together the punitive force and extends her hand towards the statue of the goddess.

“… …Allen? Why are you doing that?”

Quickly stop Eredin’s actions.

He grabs her shoulder to keep her from grabbing the statue and whispers softly.

“If a warlock touches it, the relic will rebel and spread divine power.”

“Oh, how did you know I was a warlock… … .”

Erendi flinched at my words and quietly withdrew her hand that was reaching out toward the statue of the goddess.

Then, Park Min-cheol, who arrived late, naturally passes by him and examines the sacred relic.

“… … Okay, it’s definitely one of the holy relics, the ‘Holy Fake’.”

“Now I can just take a detour and get past the Death Knight.”

Park Min-cheol, who was deeply thinking about something in response to the article’s words, shakes his head.

“No, I’ll also take that dagger imbued with the saint’s divine power. That’s more certain.”

The punitive force, which had been relaxing, raises its weapons with slightly frightened faces.

-Gulp.

Preparing for the final battle with the Death Knight.

Park Min-cheol raises his hand to stop the punitive force.

“There’s no need to fight someone who’s going to come back to life anyway. I’ll guide his movements and take the dagger.”

A death knight in pursuit of divine power.

I thought I knew what Park Min-cheol’s plan was.

“Then we’ll need two baits.”

“… … Two people?”

“When one person lures a Death Knight with a relic, you steal the dagger it is guarding.”

Explain in detail to the punitive force who did not understand.

“The bastard chases after divine power first. The bait activates the holy relic and if you shake the bastard, you are safe.”

“T-That won’t do! No matter how well you run away, you’ll be caught up in no time by a Death Knight riding a heavy horse!”

“That’s why you need two people. You have to use two items with divine power appropriately. The baits run in opposite directions to activate the divine power.”

Park Min-cheol smiles at my words.

“That’s right, that’s what Allen said. If I activate the dagger and the holy relic alternately, and make a fool of the one chasing the divine power, there’ll be no problem.”

It’s about taking advantage of the bastard’s characteristic of ignoring everything and prioritizing divine power.

“… … Excellent operation.”

The knight exclaims in admiration at the operation to ridicule the Death Knight, the symbol of fear.

But Oben, the palace spy, laughed.

“… Ha, what were you talking about? It’s an impossible plan.”

“Shut up if you don’t want to die, you henchman of the palace.”

The knight aims his sword with a distorted face.

But Oben did not waver in his confident attitude and instead raised his voice.

“You’re the one who needs to shut up! You’re activating the relics in turns? That’s ridiculous. How are you going to activate the relics without a priest?!”

At those words, the punitive force asked me with a puzzled look on their faces.

“… … Now that I think about it, Allen. How did the dagger have such divine power… … .”

“That dagger is not a holy relic. Even if you are not a priest, you can still release divine power. It requires skill, though.”

The trick to releasing divine power was very simple.

Putting black magic into a dagger to cause a backlash.

But the punitive force didn’t have any particular doubts.

“… It’s fortunate that Allen’s younger sister is a candidate for sainthood.”

Oben laughs at the sight of the punitive force sweeping away their chests.

“Let’s say one is resolved. So, how do you plan on activating the rest of the relics without a priest?”

Someone flinched at the sight.

The second character who can activate the holy relic by causing a backlash with black magic.

“I, I… … .”

When the black magician Erendi tried to raise her voice while wriggling her hands.

Someone got up from their seat.

“I’ll do it. I can activate the holy relics at will.”

“… … How can you, a person from another world and not even a priest, activate the holy relic?”

Park Min-cheol smiles at those words.

“It’s possible. I have interaction privileges.”

The ability to move a glass of wine that was only 4cm away with one’s hand.

That seemingly useless ability can activate relics.

It seemed to me that ‘interaction’ had another ability that I didn’t know about.

“Then it’s settled. How is it? You damn lackey who doesn’t help. Do you have nothing left to say?”

“Ugh, ugh, you’re no help either… … .”

“Hey, this kid!”

The punitive force hurriedly stops the knight who is trying to raise his voice.

“Both of you stop. If you draw aggro now, it’ll be a big problem.”

The one who activates the holy relic is pursued by the Death Knight.

Close consultation was needed to decide who would put the divine power to sleep and who would activate it at what moment.

“Come here, Allen. Let me set the signal. The rest of you rest.”

Discuss detailed operations with Park Min-cheol away from the main force.

“Even if we can’t do it, we have to activate the relic from 2km away. If we can time it right, we can tie it up right in the middle between us.”

“I guess the important thing is how to send signals from a distance.”

“We have to take some risks. Since there’s no chat or microphone, we have to rely on each other’s intuition… … .”

“No, it is possible.”

“… … What? What is possible?”

Reach out towards the writing on one side of your vision.

Park Min-cheol opens his eyes wide in surprise.

“… … A, a party invitation? How about this?”

“I have been entrusted with the role of party leader by the Lord of Walker.”

“… … Okay, I won’t ask for details. But this alone is not enough to completely communicate… … .”

He turned his back on Park Min-cheol and took about five steps back.

And mutters towards the party ring.

“How is it? Can you hear me?”

Park Min-cheol runs toward me with a surprised face.

“… … This is crazy, this is ridiculous. How is voice chat even possible?”

“I’ll explain in detail later. For now, I just want you to know that I can use the mic privilege.”

Park Min-cheol, who was glaring at me as if he found it ridiculous, said with a hollow laugh.

“It’s not me, it’s you, isn’t it?”

It seems that they prioritized getting out of the challenge dungeon rather than suspecting his identity.

I complete the plan with Park Min-cheol, who seems to see me as an outlier, and embark on the operation.

“Park Min-cheol, are you ready?”

When you ask that question to the party ring, an ‘Away’ sign next to his name becomes activated.

“You may begin.”

A bright light bursts out from somewhere along with my voice.

-Pfft!

The sacred power of the holy relic that turns the sky golden.

-Dakdak, dakdak.

The Death Knight turns the reins of his heavy steed and runs towards the direction of the divine power.

The dagger escapes the Death Knight’s surveillance.

‘… Okay. I got it back.’

Croa’s dagger returned to my hand.

As I run in the opposite direction holding the dagger, Park Min-cheol’s ‘Away from Seat’ sign blinks.

‘now!’

Infuse black magic.

The dagger emits light as its power recoils.

-Pfft!

Divine power spreading out from the dagger.

I feel like my whole body is drained of strength.

‘… … Lee Hyun-seong’s strength has completely disappeared.’

I trained by erasing Lee Hyun-seong’s power with the divine power of Croa.

Thanks to this, I was able to accurately understand the current state of my body, which was engulfed in divine power.

‘After being engulfed in divine power for five minutes, Lee Hyun-seong’s strength returned.’

Only my pure power remained, uninvolved by Lee Hyun-seong’s soul.

He grits his teeth and swings his trained arms, running across the wasteland.

-Damn it! Damn it!

I feel a cool sensation behind my back.

The fear of death felt with the sound of horse hooves.

He raises his voice while suppressing the divine power of the dagger.

“I will send it again.”

As the dagger loses its golden glow, the Death Knight turns the reins again.

For 20 minutes, Park Min-cheol and I, who were on opposite sides, took turns activating the holy relics and ran.

No matter how long I waited, Park Min-cheol’s ‘seat empty’ sign did not change.

‘You left me behind.’

Slowly slowing down my sweaty steps, I head towards the meeting place.

After walking for a while without any sense of time, the hidden punitive force appears.

“Hey, Allen’s back!”

“… … Phew, good job, Allen.”

Park Min-cheol, who had been lying down with a haggard face, smiles and extends his fist.

-Bam.

They bump fists with each other and check their performance.

‘The preparations are complete.’

The holy relic and dagger returned to the hands of the punitive force.

“Let’s go out.”

It was time to head out of this suffocating place.
