Resurrected Immortal 542

Chapter 542 – 542. Warrior’s Soul (1)

“Uh, so… This is the quarters of the Margrave, Mograf…”

[Even if you say so, I don’t know.]

“… Yes?”

As soon as each other introduced themselves, Erin, who was about to explain this place in response to Siete’s question, asked back with a puzzled expression.

[… Hmm.]

Deciding that it would be difficult to hear the answer he wanted, Xie Te moved his floating spiritual body to examine the inside of his room.
Made mostly of solid wood, the room seemed alien to earthly technology and culture.

‘I heard that the earth was destroyed, but…’

I had heard about this place, which Proserpina called the underworld, and was recreated through dimensional integration after the fall of the earth, so I wasn’t too embarrassed.
However, even in the state of a spiritual body, directly seeing, hearing, and feeling it is also completely different.

‘By the way.’

Before long, he turned his gaze back and looked up and down Erin’s body, appraising it inwardly.
Shiete also knew that Erin was Eun-hyeon’s wife and disciple.
She was naturally intrigued by Siete, her teacher who taught Eunhyeon, because Erin is her grandson’s relationship.

“Are you staring at me without saying a word?”

[… No. Nothing.]

Naturally, Erin did not notice Siete’s true identity.
Eun-hyeon had briefly mentioned the existence of her teacher who had taught her, but perhaps it was because she hadn’t heard her name or details of her appearance, so she thought that her ghost appeared before her eyes. It was nothing but terribly embarrassing for Erin of ‘.
There is only one thing that comes to Erin’s mind.
She is the being of Urud who has given herself some of her goddess powers, having made what is called the oath of her household.

‘… Could this ghost-sama be the power given to it by Urd-sama?’

Immediately after the endowment of her powers, Erin, who was abruptly cast out without further explanation, was distracted from accepting the changes that had occurred to her.

“Whoa… Let’s move.”

Erin, knowing full well that the thoughts and problems in her head would not be solved by sitting still on the bed, Erin took her action.
Now, there was something more important than how to use the power that was suddenly granted or the existence of a ghost that appeared out of nowhere.

[Where are you going?]

“… I have someone to find.”

As soon as Erin opened her door and stepped out into the hallway, she immediately set off to find her person.

“Eyra sister!”

Eventually she came up the stairs and found Eira walking towards the room where she had been sleeping.
She was delighted and quickly ran to her Eira and hugged her, examining her body condition.

“Oh my goodness. You can’t run.”

“Are you feeling okay? Are you not hurt?”

“Huh. Are you okay. After Erin passed out, she was fortunate enough to have Hanseong come, so neither I nor Anie could return without much trouble.”

“Thank god…”

Erin let out a sigh of relief and relaxed her body only after hearing Eira’s confirmation that everyone had been able to return safely.
However, that is a primary problem, and it does not mean that the current Mograf region has passed the crisis.

“That… Are the monsters and the undead gradually flowing towards the border?”

“That…”

As soon as she saw Erin come to her senses, Eira’s face hardened in an instant.
Erin, who naturally felt her mood hardening, sensed that her current situation was not so good, and tensed her body again after she had been relieved.

“First… I’ll go into the room and explain.”

“… Yes.”

She entered the room and handed Erin a cup called Erin, which was made from two cups provided on the desk.

“Ruler.”

“Thank you.”

Perhaps because of the muddled thoughts in her head, she belatedly realized that from the day she started searching Aueira and her platoon until now, she hadn’t been able to get any water from her.

“Whoah.”

When I drank all the water in the cup at once, the water replenished throughout my body quenched the thirst that I realized belatedly.
Then she looked at Eira right away and waited quietly for her to tell her story.

“… I think Erin probably guessed it too. Right now, the entire territory is in a very depressed state.”

“Yes… I guess.”

That was something Erin had expected as well as Eira.
The existence of the undead that are gradually encroaching and contaminating the forest and the monsters that are gradually approaching this way to avoid them is no different from a disaster for humans.
This would be especially true for the territories of the Mograf Frontier, who had experienced the massive flooding of demon beasts last time.
At that time, someone lost a family member, a lover, a close friend, or a colleague, and many people died.
With the help of the royal family and the Duchy of Armitas, the worst situation of breaking through the defense of the border could have been avoided, but the current Mograf region, which suffered great damage, did not have the strength to resist the disaster of the undead and beasts that invaded again. Does not exist.
Although they receive help in many ways, such as reinforcing lost troops, investing time and money in training, repairing collapsed walls and replenishing supplies, the biggest problem is the morale of the soldiers.

“Everyone hasn’t been properly trained yet, and I’m terrified at the thought of going through that hell again.”

It was not easy for those who had just started training and lacked real combat experience to risk their lives in the front line and face danger.
However, the disaster that was gradually approaching this reality did not give the soldiers any room to train and prepare their mindset.
Although they obtain information in advance and inform it in preparation, this situation, which is very unstable from the start, is like going to the battlefield with a sword that is about to be damaged by losing all its teeth.

“… Okay.”

After hearing all about her situation, Erin nodded her head with a heavy expression.
Currently, the worst situation that Eira is imagining is that the barely restored border defense of the Mograf region is broken through and the people of the territory of the Mograf region, including the Artia Knights and troops being dispatched, are annihilated.
Could the undead and witch beasts be stopped with only some, not all, knights and soldiers from Mograf, who were still insufficient?
No matter how much she said that there was Agies who could exert great power against the undead, Erin could not be confident.
The reason Eira is putting on a heavy expression as she broods over this situation is because she has the same thoughts as Erin.

“… Good.”

Erin, who made a decision after much deliberation, murmured softly.

“… Erin?”

She immediately activated her artifact on her wrist and pulled out her communication crystal ball from her inventory.
Eira, not knowing what she was trying to do, looked at her Erin with her puzzled expression on her face, but Erin was lost in her troubles and could not answer her Eira’s call.

‘… Let’s at least consult.’

If possible, he wanted to solve the problem with his own strength without consulting others, but since it was a life-and-death matter for the Artia Knights and the entire territory, it was beyond the scope to solve it with his own strength.
I came here to help her, but in the end, because of her own power, she had to ask for her help again, and Erin felt embarrassed.
But this was necessary, so she finished her thoughts on her own and activated her crystal ball.

[Erin? What’s happen?]

“Miss Eleanor… Are you busy?”

◆ ◆ ◆

Disaster finally came.

“Came!”

A guard on duty at the watchtower installed on top of the castle wall shouted in an urgent voice.

“Call the soldiers right now!”

As the threat, which was unknown when it would arrive, finally became a reality, the guard commander hurriedly sent a subordinate to inform the lord.
It was a moment she never wanted to face, but in the end, the gathering of the soldiers who were waiting for this moment was swift.
It was not only the soldiers who gathered at the gate at the signal, but also the Knights of Artia who had been dispatched, and the paladins and priests of the Mograf branch of the Temple of Vesta.

“…”

The size of the mobilized troops totaled about 800 people.
Considering that Artia and the temple’s forces were half, the size of the troops did not match the reputation of the impregnable wall protecting the frontier.
None of the personnel opened their mouths, holding their breath, gazing beyond the castle gates.
The silence was so heavy that even the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard clearly.
Breaking through the forest and appearing one by one with a bleak mood are the undead with bizarre shapes, as if they were depicting death.
What slithered and slowly approached the border were corpses devoured and rotted by wild monsters.
All of them are the corpses of civilians who have flowed in from nearby villages or kingdoms.

Kwajik!

Not only that, but even the existence of demonic beasts that roughly trampled the corpses of the undead approaching the castle wall at a slow pace.

“Unbelievable…”

The young soldier, who had just become an adult, was in despair at this situation where the bizarre undead monsters were getting closer and closer as if they were the embodiment of death.
Just seeing the undead from a distance made his limbs tremble and gave up fighting, and an overwhelming fear dominated his whole body.
A fear that inadvertently causes the undead to step backwards whenever they advance.

‘It’s impossible.’

‘I can’t fight that.’

‘I can’t be brutally bitten, torn, and die as a human being.’

‘If I die, I’ll look like that too…’

When many soldiers were overwhelmed with fear and couldn’t move their feet, in the midst of this, neither knights nor priests stepped forward, but only one adventurer.
At the entrance of the castle gate, it was Erinn who looked at the soldiers with their backs to the undead advancing towards them.

“Do you want to run away?”

“…”

None of the soldiers could easily answer Erin’s question.
She is just a question from a young female adventurer of a similar age to them.
For some reason, she felt a strange feeling that she could not easily answer.
As if enchanted by her beautiful appearance, she stares at Erin with a blank expression.

[Hujok magic (狐族姚術)]
[Emotion Distortion]

“Unless we stop those monsters here. Then it is the people behind us who are at risk.”

“Ah…”

A young soldier gave a small sigh.
With that as an opportunity, the soldiers who realized the tumult in their hearts grabbed their weapons and shields one by one.
The people who live in this manor behind him are lovers, wives, parents, and family to some.
Erin, who confirmed that the fearful soldiers’ eyes were slowly sprouting a fighting spirit, was convinced inwardly that her emotional distortion had worked.
Originally, manipulating or controlling people’s minds was an ability that even Erin didn’t like at all.
He had no choice but to suppress the fear rising in the hearts of his soldiers, in order to raise the morale that was getting worse and worse.
But while you can only suppress your fears, getting rid of them completely is a very difficult task.

‘Still, it’s not impossible.’

Erin remembered Eunhyun’s words.

-Fear is an emotion that comes from a certainty that you have concluded for yourself in your heart. Can’t beat opponents The warning to imagine your own miserable future where you might die without resisting and run away from that terrible future stimulates your instincts.

In other words, if you can instill confidence in these soldiers against the undead enough, it can be an opportunity to face their fears.
Erin immediately looked at Agnes and signaled.

“Joy.”

Thinking of who he had learned the art of inciting people from, Agies sneered a little, thinking that the words ‘the teacher and the disciple’ fit perfectly, then slowly walked forward and stood next to Erin.

[She is a goddess.]

The pious divine power contained in the short prayer soon swallowed Erin and Agies and began to fill the entrance of the castle gate with bright light.

[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Barrier of Sanctification]

“This, this… !?”

The first to express their astonishment were the priests and paladins who recognized how high-ranking the miracles were performed through the immense divinity.
It started with a thrilled look on his face as he had personally experienced the miracle of the Archbishop of Vesta Temple, which he had only heard about.
The soldiers who experienced this miracle, which comprehensively enhances the overall ability of the body, including strength, agility, and stamina, as well as improvement of resilience, were shocked beyond embarrassment.

“I promise.”

When Agies, who had performed her miracle, opened her mouth, all her assembled troops stared at her with her stiff faces.

“Until this fight is over, this barrier will never be broken. It doesn’t create a single casualty. Therefore.”

Pointing with his finger at the undead that were approaching this way, Agnes continued.

“Your estates and your families will be protected with your own hands. Got it?”
