Chapter 575 – Side Story 78) Barbarian Knight (17)
Gaiden 78) Barbarian Night (17)
“Come out, Gizman! Where are you hiding! I’m back! I’m back to avenge you! Traitor Gizman! Hurry up and show yourself! My soldiers will return the pain I had to endure because of you! So come on out, traitor Gizman!!!”
Oh oh oh…
When the monarch appeared, the soldiers knelt in unison and bowed to their king.
“Oh my God… What is all that…”
“The monsters… Fell to their knees…”
Monsters of different shapes, appearances, and sizes are worshiping an old man. The appearance gave great shock and fear to the heroes and monster hunters.
How could those cruel monsters worship humans?
How could those reckless monsters worship humans?
All the people who had not yet been able to evacuate at the scene far beyond imagination forgot to run away and watched it in a daze.
“Traitor Gizman! Hurry up and bring the traitor Gizman!”
“Gee, gizman… Are you talking about the president of the association?”
“But why is he… Calling the association president a traitor?”
The old man continued to call Gizman a traitor, and the heroes were thrown into great confusion. The idea that the monsters attacked the pioneering base was because of the Gizman Association president came to their minds.
Whatever the villains or criminals say, heroes listen with one ear and let it go with the other. It was useless to pay attention to what those pups said, and above all, 99% of what those pups said was bullshit. That’s why heroes don’t care much about what villains say.
However, the old man’s words could not be dismissed as bullshit.
That old man is no ordinary person. He couldn’t be an ordinary person who treated monsters like an army.
A man with such great ability shouted and insulted the president of the Gizman Association as a traitor, so I couldn’t just think of it as a lie.
“By the way… Where is the president of the Gizman Association?”
At that time, a hero murmured involuntarily and looked around. Starting with him, other heroes also started looking for the president of the Gizman Association.
In their hearts, the heroes hoped that Gizman would appear and deny that statement. Because morale was a very important factor in battle.
But he was nowhere to be seen.
That’s because he was the first to run away as soon as he received a report that monsters were attacking the pioneering base.
The search team went missing due to monsters, but there was no way not to operate the search team. Instead, Guizman reduced the scope of the search and operated the search team more safely.
They found a group of monsters running fiercely toward the pioneering base and reported it to Gizman.
And Gizman, who received the report, ran away with the overwhelming amount. That’s with the heroes who can be called the bodyguards.
As a result, what remained at the pioneering base were a few heroes, monster hunters, and ordinary people who participated in the pioneering work.
“Come out traitor Gizman! Come out!”
Monster Lord found Gizman, but there was no way that the person who had already escaped from the pioneering base would appear.
“No way… Did you just run away? Gizman! You mean you abandoned all these people and ran away alone!”
“… What?”
“President of the association! Where is the president of the association!”
“I can’t see the other heroes either! Can’t you… Really run away? Are you abandoning us?”
By that time, everyone else had noticed something was off. The president of the Gizman Association abandoned them and ran away!
“This, you bastard!”
“Dirty bastard! Garbage bastard!”
People cursed Guizman. The commander who is supposed to lead everyone runs away first! Even with civilians!
It was the moment when the image that the president of the Gizman Association had built so far collapsed.
“…You dared to run away? The president of the Hero Association and the commander of the pioneering base? Ugh! Gizman, you haven’t changed at all! You filthy Gizman! Traitor Gizman!”
Monster Lord was very angry at the fact that Gizman had escaped. There was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the people watching.
After all, they, who had been abandoned by Gizman, were in a situation no different from Monster Road. They didn’t know that maybe the Monster Lord would save them because of the sense of kinship that they had been betrayed by the same person.
But their hopes were soon shattered.
“Chuckling! Do you think I won’t be able to chase you if you run away? It’s obvious where you’re going! I’ll kill them all and even destroy the Dark City! My soldiers! Start attacking!”
Oh oh oh oh-!
“Ah, ah, ah…”
The monsters who were lying on the floor rose up all at once. And started destroying the pioneer base again.
Seeing that, people fell into deep despair.
And then it was.
“‘The bullets are out!'”
Kieeck!
At the same time as the bullets rained down, the monsters’ bodies were torn apart.
“Don’t give up folks!”
In a situation where everyone gave up, only Henry did not give up. He didn’t let go of life.
He continued to fire at the monsters and shouted.
“Are you going to die here? Everyone, hurry up and run away! I’ll stand behind you! You have to live! Remember your family in the Dark City! For the sake of your family, you must survive!”
“Yes, yes! When I die, who will take care of my mother!”
“I don’t want to die! I’m going back alive!”
The boy’s performance in slaughtering monsters with two pistols gave hope to those in despair. Also, the people who remembered their families at the boy’s cry could not die in vain like this.
“I’ll protect you! So hurry away! Everyone, let’s all live together!”
“… Guys! Come this way! Our heroes will protect you! Run in an orderly way!”
Henry’s cry to not give up also affected the hero and other monster hunters. Heroes who couldn’t fight monsters worked hard to evacuate people.
“Keuhehe! It’s our Henry!”
“It will be difficult for you alone. Let’s fight together, Henry!”
“Misters…”
Monster hunters gathered around Henry, who was blocking the monsters alone.
No matter how much Henry became stronger by gaining Aegis, it was impossible for him to deal with this many monsters alone.
However, if the monster hunters were together, the story was different.
“Let’s go guys! It’s hunting time!”
“Oohhhhh!”
These were monster hunters, specialized monster hunters who took up arms to protect their families and friends.
If the opponent is a monster, it will be much more powerful than a decent hero.
“We will help too!”
“We don’t know how to fight monsters. So give your orders, Mr. Henry.”
There were also heroes who could fight.
It was almost certain that he would be killed by the monster sooner or later. If I’m going to die anyway, I’ll use it with even a little more value!
These were heroes, heroes who stood up to protect the weak.
There were about 30 people gathered that way.
“Everyone… Let’s fight together! Let’s stop together! And… Let’s go back alive together!”
“There’s no need to go forward! Our goal is to give people time to escape! Use buildings as shields to block the advance of monsters!”
“Ohhhhh!”
“Huh? You little bastard! Give me my Sanctuary Armor! It’s mine!”
“If you want it, come and get it!”
“Ii Iik! Get that cheeky bastard!”
Oh oh oh-!
The final union, centered on Henry, started a resistance against the monster army led by the monster lord.
*****
“Ugh, it’s so hard to raise a disciple.”
I watched little Henry fight on top of the super-large monster [Giant. Gozzle. Kuto].
With Henry at the center, heroes and monster hunters who could not mix like oil and water united as one. Because the environments in which they lived were different, the combat methods were different, but surprisingly, the synergy they created was fantastic.
“Die!”
Kwajik-!
Kieeeee
Since the opponents were monsters, the main force of the union was the monster hunters. They killed monsters in front of them.
“It’s dangerous, Arthur!”
“Wow?! Go-thank you!”
However, monster hunters were quickly put in danger because they were surrounded by monsters on all sides. It was the hero who came out then.
The heroes each used their superpowers to attack the monsters, and when there was a gap, they quickly rescued the monster hunters in danger.
The main attack was done by monster hunters, and the role of supporting them was taken by heroes.
Of course, it was Henry who played the biggest role.
“‘The bullets are out!'”
“‘Arrows are coming out!'”
“‘Allah’s magic wand is coming out!'”
Henry created a variety of long-range weapons to prevent monsters from approaching. No, I didn’t block access, I just killed the monsters from afar.
It was literally a monster slayer itself.
“It’s definitely amazing because it’s made with my genes.”
He couldn’t help but marvel at the sight.
Henry’s Sanctuary Armor, Aegis, was made from my DNA, so he could use all sorts of weapons and superpowers.
In fact, currently Henry was unable to raise Aegis’ power to 100%. He was attacking, only changing his weapon.
Even if you use superpowers, you can unleash really great power. Maybe it’s because I’ve lived my whole life without superpowers and I don’t know how to use them.
“Well, that’s what time will tell you. By the way… Write! This bastard, Gizman, ran away, right?”
I knew that Gizman was garbage, but I didn’t know that he was that much garbage.
Abandoning so many people and running away with only their own people!
If the real Monster Lord had existed, not me, everyone at the pioneering base would have died.
“Originally, I was planning to end it here… But then I guess I’ll have to change the location of the final chapter.”
Until now, I have been shouting out the traitor Gizman and telling people the real face of the bastard. And I was thinking of disposing of Guizman in this position.
But if he ran away, it was a different story.
The ending is the same, but the final stage had to be changed.
“It’s obvious that he’s going to escape anyway.”
Guizman must have fled to the Dark City. The pioneering team cut down trees and cleared the land to make a road. If you follow the road all the way up, you can go directly to the Dark City.
“Yes, that’s great. Since this happened, let’s show the people of Dark City the true face of Gizman.”
Come to think of it, that worked a lot better.
Gizman was a guy who knew how to use his strength when he needed to. He will try to kill everyone in this place to maintain his power. He was a guy who would stay that way.
But what if everyone in Dark City heard me and saw Guizman’s true face?
“Chuckling! It’s perfect. Hmm… It seems that people have evacuated roughly… Shall we start playing this game soon? [Fine dust]!”
Whoo oh oh oh-!
Suddenly a strong wind started blowing.
“Ugh! Suddenly, what kind of wind!”
“…Be careful everyone! Something is about to happen!”
The sudden gust of wind made it impossible for the death squad to move easily. It was difficult to open my eyes because of the sand and dust mixed with the wind.
“… Huh? Me-what is that?!”
The hero who accidentally looked up at the sky pointed to the sky and was astonished. Then the death squad looked up at the sky and witnessed a shocking sight.
“Um, what is that…”
“… Face?”
Piles of earth were held together as if the earth had risen into the sky. And it had the shape of a human face. The face of the pile of dirt was glaring at the death squad at the pioneering base.
Wooooo!
It was [Dust.Chan.Face], The third most powerful large monster among the Four Heavenly Kings.
