Chapter 37 – The Princess’ Request (6)
In fact, the reason I wasn’t too worried about this incident was of course thanks to Ellie and Yuria.
I believed that as long as the two of us had the strength, there would be absolutely nothing we couldn’t solve.
But now that trust has been shattered before my eyes.
“W-what! This!”
Without realizing it, I shouted at the Infector.
“Finally, these thorns in my eye are gone.”
After confirming that Ellie and Yuria had disappeared into a strange dimensional gap, the Infector fell from the ceiling to the floor.
While the Infectors I have seen so far were large enough to be held in one hand, the Infector in front of me right now was so large that it seemed to be 3 meters in size.
Just by looking at his current appearance, I could feel that he was a being on a different level from the Infector I had seen before.
“What happened to Eli and Yuria?”
My mind doesn’t keep up with the current situation.
A demon that sends the opponent somewhere else?
As far as I know, there is no demon like this in Elion.
“You mean those girls from earlier? I was blown away into another dimension that I could open. There will be no coming back now!》
Flying to another dimension…
At that moment, an old memory appeared in my mind.
There was one gimmick that existed in the very early days of Elion.
In existing instance dungeons, there were cases where you would enter a hidden simple dungeon when you went to a specific location.
The setting is that these demons have dug a trap in the dungeon we enter that takes us to another dimension.
It consists of a structure where you go into a simple dungeon, kill all the monsters inside, and then come back out.
It seems like the dungeon creators made it so that users would have fun finding out these hidden elements.
At first, people reacted in amazement to this gimmick and had fun with it.
However, as time passed, these hidden simple dungeon entrances were all shared with the community, and as the maximum level increased, they became a nuisance.
Now, I was catching monsters through passing dungeons for leveling up, but the monsters happened to end up near the entrance to the simple dungeon and ended up going in unintentionally.
As this gradually occurred, users demanded the deletion of these simple dungeons, and in the end, they were left as a gimmick that only remembered old characters that had disappeared with the passage of time.
The dungeon this influencer is talking about seems to be referring to this.
That was the time when level 30 influencers were in full swing.
A demon that can use that…
If that dungeon is the simple dungeon I remember, Elia Yuria will easily defeat it and come out.
The question is how long it will take…
“I will devour this kingdom and use it as the foundation to devour this world!”
Suddenly, the Infector’s body bubbled up and sprayed out the Infector in all directions.
Holy shit!
It seems like he’s planning to send Ellie and Yuria away and turn everyone here into parasites.
“Everyone be careful! They are all monsters that live on people’s bodies!”
The influencers that came pouring in with my sound started running towards people.
Those who could use swords and magic were able to ward off the charging Infectors, but those who were powerless to protect their bodies had their faces swallowed by the Infectors.
Infectors also rushed towards Aria and her father, but they all disappeared before the fast sword skills of the gasta knight.
There is no way to free the people who have been parasitized now.
All I can do is take down this gigantic Infector in front of me right now!
Immediately, I rushed towards the Infector.
《Insolent human bastard!》
When I rushed at it, it threw its tentacles in my direction just like before.
An attack like this is nothing compared to the mace attack Ellie wields!
I easily dodged the tentacles and went near the Infector and swung “Gram.”
“No? Argh!》
Infector, who was caught off guard as if he had underestimated me, was split horizontally by my attack.
I didn’t let my guard down and swung my sword additionally, but the Infector, which was split in half, abandoned the other half of its body and rushed toward Aria’s father.
“Ah, ice shield!”
Aria, who was watching it, quickly created her ice shield and the Infector was blocked by her ice shield and became attached to her shield.
“Die, you monster!”
Gasta Knight swung his sword at the Infector attached to the shield.
At the same time, the remaining half of the Infector in front of me and the Infector attached to the shield simultaneously rushed at the Gasta Knight.
“Where!”
As the Sword Master of the Kingdom of Britinya, he was not embarrassed and cut all the approaching Infectors to pieces with a tremendous sword strike.
Maybe he’s not as strong as the old game character called Sword Master, but he’s probably the strongest I’ve ever seen in this world.
I thought the Infector fragmented before my eyes would turn into dust and disappear.
But Infector did not die.
It rushed towards the Gaster Knight in a torn state and soon surrounded the Gaster Knight’s entire body with its own body.
And then it slowly disappeared as if absorbed into the Gasta Knight’s body.
Experience so far has shown that Infectors cannot easily parasitize people who can manipulate Auras or magical power.
However, what has now entered the body of Gasta Knight is not an ordinary Infector.
The moment that thought occurred to me, I quickly ran towards Ari.
Visor!
The gasta knight opened his eyes and immediately swung his sword at Ariashi, and I managed to block it with good timing.
If she hadn’t rushed in right away, Aria would have lost her life to this sword.
“Lord Gasta!”
“Mr. Aria! Take her father and run away!”
I can’t fight and protect someone with my skills.
After hearing what I said, Aria left the place with her father.
《Indeed, you are the Sword Master. “It’s this much power!”
Strangely enough, a mix of his own voice and the Infector’s voice came out of the Gasta Knight’s mouth.
“Haha! “With this power, I could easily defeat the girls from earlier!”
What? With that much power, you think you can take down Ellie and Yuria?
“Kkkk, idiot. I’m sorry, but you can never beat Ellie and Yuria. No matter what you do.”
“Is that your will? “I will kill you right here for interfering with my grand plan.”
Sorry, but that is a specification.
There are a lot of things I haven’t done yet.
I want to meet all of my remaining characters!
Me and the Gasta Knight, or rather the Infector, were facing off with our swords touching each other, but the power was gradually starting to shift towards me.
When you only hear the noises around you, it seems like the parasitized people are attacking other people and defending them.
“Jinu! I’ll help too. Ice Arrow!”
At that moment, Aria, who had run away, came back and shot an ice arrow at the Gasta knight.
《Pfft! “On the topic of the arrogant princess.”
The Infector stepped back and dodged the ice arrows, and I immediately lunged at her and swung my sword at her.
Perhaps thanks to the Gasta Knight’s reaction speed, the Infector reacted to my sword, but perhaps because it wasn’t used to it yet, it couldn’t dodge it completely and ended up with a sword wound on its body.
“You… Die!”
Infector seemed angry that the body he loved was hurt and rushed towards me.
“Pfft!”
My skills were still insufficient to block all the swords that Infector was swinging wildly.
As the Infector’s attacks continued, the small sword wounds on my body increased one by one.
Although Aria used her magic to fire back support from a distance, she was not defeated as easily as before.
Moreover, as he gradually gets used to the body of the Gasta Knight, his attacks are becoming more fierce.
Cheap! If this continues, you will lose!
At first, I thought I would just hold out until Ellie and Yuria returned, but I felt like I would be defeated before that.
Is there some way?
I did my best to find a way to survive the attack.
Since coming to this world, I have never used my brain this much.
But right now, just blocking the attack is enough to distract me.
Aaaaah! I feel like I’m falling behind!
“Haha! I’m slowly getting used to it now. Now, let me show you proper swordsmanship!”
The moment the Infector spoke, tangible energy was seen emanating from the Infector’s sword.
Ah… It looks like we fought without using any auras until just now.
That means… The real attack starts now.
The sword wielded by the Infector was so fast that it could not be compared to just a moment ago.
Feeling death, I instinctively lowered my head and could feel the Infector’s sword passing over my head.
If I hadn’t had avoidance training with the real Ellie, I would have been hit a long time ago.
The Infector’s attack, which began to contain auras, began to easily destroy even the walls and floors around me.
Aria, who was helping me, now had to create an ice shield to defend rather than attack.
Now I am no longer at a level where I can fight sword to sword.
I just roll around and avoid getting hit by the sword.
“Haha! A bug-like guy. “It’s so delightful to see him struggling so hard to die!”
If you don’t want to die, you should do something like this. You rotten bastard!
There is a saying that life is good even if you roll in a dog poop.
You can never die here.
As I was dodging here and there, I left the throne I was on and went out into the palace hallway.
In order to buy as much time as possible until Ellie and Yuria return, I chose the 36th series.
“Mr. Jinu!”
When Aria saw me running away, she shouted and tried to help me.
“Leave this to me and help others!”
If you come to Aria for no reason, I think both of you will be punished.
It would be better for me to draw aggro and for Aria to block the rest of her influencers.
“You rat!”
“You idiot! You can’t even catch me!”
I ran away, dodging the attacks of the Infector chasing me.
You can make as much time as possible by running around this large palace.
How much time has passed?
The time I was running away was definitely a short time, but it felt like a very long time to me.
It seems that he has moved far away from the throne where he first fought.
At this rate, won’t we be able to hold out somehow until Ellie and Yuria come?
However, I overlooked the fact that the Infector was getting used to it to the point where he was using the gasta knight’s body at full strength.
The attack almost reached my body, and then I was hit in the side by the Infector’s sword and flew into a room.
“Kuheuheuk! Ugh…Uhhhhh”
Oh my gosh, it hurts so much.
I ended up spitting out blood.
I wonder if my ribs were damaged in the attack just now.
《Hunting ends here. “You rat-like bastard.”
The Infector slowly approached me as I lay on the floor.
Ah… Am I really going to die here?
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a way to beat this guy.
I looked around the room trying to find a way to live, but nothing caught my eye.
《There is no use in rolling your head. You die here.”
Then an object in the room caught my eye.
Uh? What about that?
At the same time, the Infector’s sword pierced my stomach.
If I could use my authority properly, I would have been able to block it with the defense power of the “Centurion Armor” I am wearing now…
The Infector slowly pulled the sword out of my stomach, as if he wanted me to die painfully.
And a feeling I had never felt before swirled in my stomach, and blood flowed through my lower abdomen.
Obviously, if this continues, I will die.
But the last object I saw gave me hope.
Thanks to them, there are things I can do… No, there are things only I can do.
“Summons…”
I lost consciousness as I saw a magic circle forming above my head.
@
Um… Where?
I was definitely on the magic circle with my guild members…
I fell from the air and looked around.
In an unknown room, there is a man holding a blood-stained sword, and across from him, a man is lying bleeding.
Uh…
“What? What about you? “Where did it suddenly appear?”
I feel like that guy is saying something to me, but that’s none of my business.
This man who was bleeding right now was the most important thing to me.
It must have been my first time seeing him, but I could tell at a glance.
As if I had met my destined partner…
“Lord… Lord…?”
This person must be the one who gave authority to our guild members.
The power within my body says so.
“I don’t know what you’re doing, but die!”
A sword flew towards me and I caught it with two fingers.
“Is it you… Is it you who made my master like that?”
《Ugh! What power!?”
A person who doesn’t respond to my words and tries hard to pull the sword out of my hand.
When I saw the blood on this sword, it was clearly this guy.
Dare…
How dare you… You are my lord!!!!

I thrust my fist in with all my might.
