The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 98

The soldier shouted save (98)

The ability to turn back time again and again.

Are there any limits to his abilities?

‘… … What should I do?’

I had to think about it.

I had to figure out a way to deal with the guy who kept turning my life around.

If we can’t stop his powers, life will just repeat itself until he gets the results he wants…

‘… … Wait a minute, why?’

A question suddenly occurred to me, and I found myself muttering to myself.

“… … It’s strange.”

“Yes? Sir Allen, what is strange?”

“Why did they bring their lives back to this point?”

He’s repeatedly brought us back to the point where we first recovered from the challenge dungeon.

However, the current situation was close to the worst for the palace.

‘No matter what the palace does at this point, it will not be able to appease the lords’ resentment.’

Most of the punitive force had already died, leaving only eight survivors.

As an extension of that, the lords led by Marie Walker brought soldiers and put pressure on the palace.

To turn back all these things and avoid life… … .

‘Even if I can’t do it, I have to revert it back to two days ago.’

At the academy, he turned back time by a whole month.

But this time, I couldn’t turn back even two days.

‘I know what the palace is aiming for.’

If we think back to the actions of a woman named Choi Yun-seul, we can understand.

Choi Yun-seul was reducing the punitive force to a near-death state with green smoke, and was checking something while killing each person one by one.

‘I was trying to see who had the ability to save.’

The palace’s intentions were enlightened.

But still, there was one thing missing to overcome their prey.

‘… … I still have to pretend to die because of their mistake.’

As I aimed the tip of my sword at their chins, the punitive force looked bewildered.

“Ah, Allen! What on earth… … .”

The punitive force could not finish speaking.

-Kwaaaaaaaah!

An explosion that reverberates through the ground.

-Boom!

As if pushed by the explosion, he thrusts the sword under his chin.

– Died from his own attack.

-Loaded from auto-save.

.

.

.

The vision that had been darkened returns.

“… … I, I survived! I survived… … .”

Passing by the delighted Oben, he speaks softly to Park Min-cheol.

“What is the special ability called Lord?”

“Where did you get that… … .”

“There is no time. I have already lived my life over and over again.”

At my words, Park Min-cheol’s eyes widened and he muttered.

“… save.”

“Yes, it is a privilege I have. But even if I don’t die, life comes back.”

At the urgent words, he puts aside his doubts and changes his expression.

“Road… is the ability to turn back time to a specific point.”

“… … You mean you can turn back time? That means you can go back to any point in time you want… … .”

“No. You can choose at what point in time he returns to life.”

Park Min-cheol looks into my eyes and says.

“Save. The only time he can turn back his life is the point in time he saved.”

The last one that was missing has been filled.

“… … .”

He speaks with a smile to Park Min-cheol, who is waiting silently for an answer.

“I’ll tell you again when we get out safely.”

He says, aiming the tip of the sword at his chin.

“In the next life.”

“……okay.”

Not long after the words are spoken, an explosion comes crashing down.

-Kwaaaaah!

Got hit in the jaw by the explosion.

―From his own attacks… .

-Auto save… .

Raise your voice quickly in the life you’ve turned around.

“Everyone, get up! The underground is about to explode!”

Go to the last room in the underground lair and build a mud wall using Oben’s magic.

-Kwaaaaah!

Withstand the explosion,

“Escape through the ceiling!”

While Oben prepares the magic, he briefly explains the situation to Park Min-cheol.

“… … Someone is repeating life as a road?”

“Yes. Right when we escaped the challenge dungeon.”

I peek outside through the debris.

As before, I see two people walking towards me.

“… …Why do these guys act the same way?”

A question arises.

I was going through life over and over again, fighting back against their actions, but they were still acting the same way.

“That guy must remember all his lives… … .”

Park Min-cheol puts his hand on his chin and speaks out in thought as he listens to my monologue.

“Allen, if what you say is true, then the only person I remember is the one with the ‘Lord’ privilege.”

“That doesn’t answer the question of why he keeps repeating his actions. If his last life was a failure, he could immediately try to change the situation in a colorful way and see how the other person reacts… … .”

Park Min-cheol laughs at my words.

“Don’t overthink it, Allen. People like you are rare even in this entire world.”

“… … What does that mean?”

“What I mean is that an ordinary person from another world can’t come up with the right answer like you. Perhaps, someone with the ‘Lord’ privilege is thinking about how to overcome the current situation.”

I don’t mean to underestimate the opponent, but it was a very possible story.

“Ignis.”

Check the two warrior parties that approach closely and shoot the ring’s flames at them.

“Ugh, ugh!”

As before, the two people are helplessly engulfed in flames.

Park Min-cheol speaks as if he knows everything.

“See? I told you, it’s not easy to make a judgment like this.”

“Well, I don’t know.”

-Drrrrrrrr!

The loud noise that was ripping through the ceiling stops.

“Okay! It’s connected to the outside!”

“Let’s go out quickly!”

A ceiling with a clear view of the sky.

Park Min-cheol turns his gaze back down to me and asks.

“So, Allen. How far along are you with your plan?”

It was not difficult to understand what Park Min-cheol meant.

A fight with a guy with the ‘Lord’ perk.

“This is my first attempt.”

To counter the number of bastards who will soon turn his life around, he takes out Croa’s dagger.

-Pfft!

A golden light that obscures the view.

After subduing Richie, he had little divine power left.

‘This is enough.’

A body suffering from mana exhaustion cannot resist and accepts divine power.

“… … I’ve roughly sorted it out! Come out!”

The knights who escaped first come out and extend their hands towards Park Min-cheol.

-chuck.

They hold each other’s hands tightly and escape from the underground den.

“… … is it done?”

Park Min-cheol says as he runs behind the knights.

“Allen, what did you do?”

Park Min-cheol, who is aware of the entire situation, asks the key question.

“How did you delete the save point?”

As Park Min-cheol said, there was only one way to stop the bastard’s load.

Erasing the ‘save point’, the point at which he can turn back his life.

“Like I said before, it was the first attempt. … … It wasn’t the first time he had turned his life around on his own.”

It was at the Academy that I got a clue.

At the Academy, he turned back time by a month.

After stopping the attack on the saint candidate and defeating the high-level demon, I was unable to get my life back.

“If something caused him to be unable to use the ‘Lord’, I thought it had to be divine power.”

During my time at the Academy, I fought against high-level demons with the Azure Dragon Sword, which contained the divine power of Croa.

Even in the challenge dungeon, I was caught up in Croa’s divine power while luring the Death Knight.

‘From that point on, all save points would have disappeared.’

I clearly remembered the priest’s monologue.

He frowned and said that everything had been deleted.

‘It must have been difficult.’

You probably thought you could go back anytime.

But suddenly there was only one point left for him to go back to.

If ‘Save’ didn’t work in the Challenge Dungeon, the point in time he could return to was the most recent.

Because it would have been right after the escape, when ‘auto save’ occurred.

“Ah, Allen!!”

When I turned my gaze to the sobbing voice, I saw Marie running towards me, shaking off the soldiers’ resistance.

‘… … You look flustered.’

The appearance of the priest with his head bowed and chewing his lips.

He immediately looks away from him and speaks quietly to Park Min-cheol.

“Separately, contact me from my side.”

As he nods and walks away, a noble lady comes running towards him.

“Huh, huk! Mi, Mincheol Kyung… Huh, how… … This happened… … .”

I quickly recall the identity of the noble lady whom I had not been able to properly examine before.

‘Was she the daughter of Lord Hope?’

I laughed when I thought of the Hope Estate he belonged to.

‘Really, you have no greed at all.’

With his abilities, it would have been possible for him to become the son-in-law of a larger estate.

“Sir! … Are you okay?”

Hye-rin, who was examining my face, grabbed my right hand with both hands.

The intense mana coming through those hands.

“Is it an epic item?”

“Yes… You can use this to give or receive mana.”

A crescent moon shaped ring on Hye-rin’s index finger.

As I was observing the scene, someone hit my shoulder with a palm.

“The Lord of Walker and Hye-rin are both making a fuss, right? If we had just waited, they would have come back foolishly.”

“That’s right. I think you both worry too much about useless things.”

As she exchanged words with the smiling chief, Marie quietly muttered to herself.

“… … It was Allen who asked for urgent help.”

Of course, I didn’t forget.

There was no definitive proof that the palace was sending the punitive force to their deaths, and yet it was Mari who convinced the lords and brought them here in just a few days.

“I am glad that you are my lord.”

“……yes?”

If my lord had been an incompetent person other than Marie, the challenge dungeon would have been the end of my life.

“Let’s go back to Walker.”

I boarded the carriage heading to Walker.

* * *

It’s been two months since I escaped the challenge dungeon.

The lords were furious at losing knights who could have been the best on the continent due to the forced call of the palace.

When Mari claimed that the palace had deliberately sacrificed the punitive force in order to keep other territories on guard, resentment against the palace soared through the roof.

But the world did not change easily.

“… … I thought the palace would collapse at any moment.”

“Hye-rin, it’s because you’re from another world. Rebellion isn’t that easy. It means risking not only my life, but also the lives of my descendants and even the land I’ll pass down to future generations.”

The leader’s words were not wrong, but they were not right either.

Rather than saying that the lords were scared, it should be seen that the palace responded well.

“Because one person agreed, they lost the will to fight and just let it slide.”

It was an easy yet powerful method.

The palace offered a generous ransom for the knights’ lives, and some of the lords who had been showing resentment readily accepted the offer, causing the lords’ alliance to lose its justification and gradually fall apart.

‘Not all lords are as generous to their knights as Marie.’

They weren’t angry because their own people had died.

He was furious at losing the most valuable asset in his estate.

“So, what do you plan to do, my lord? Let it go like this?”

The palace was no longer something to hide in and avoid.

Until it can’t be resumed.

It was a hostile force that had to be shattered.

“I have already researched the lords who will not be swayed by the temptations of the palace.”

He looks at me with a determined expression and declares.

“I will go and destroy the palace that tried to kill my knight.”
