Chapter 431 – 431. The End of the Clearance Operation (1)
Among the two people running through the dark night sky, Erin, who was running in front of her, exclaimed with an urgent expression.
“Hurry… We have to go fast!”
“Know. But don’t be too impatient.”
“But…”
Even with her riotous voice calming her own mind, Erin couldn’t easily suppress her anxiety welling up in her chest.
“I’ve never seen Gerard-sama get so angry…”
It was the first time Erin had ever seen Gerard’s angry face, who always displayed a frivolous and light-hearted attitude and humorous behavior and tone.
He didn’t think Gerard would take it easy, but he said the man he fought had extraordinary skills.
What made Erin even more anxious was that the man and Gerard knew each other.
And the fact that she knows none other than Eun-hyeon, why is it so uneasy?
“He seemed to know Gerard-sama well… Hyun knew that too.”
“… Eunhyun?”
Lyod, who could not hide her impatience and heard the muttering of Erin, who was running in front of her, twitched his eyebrows and asked back.
Gerard’s acquaintances who know him are very limited, probably because he wandered alone for a long time while moving to many countries.
Eun-hyeon has a more narrow personal relationship than Gerard.
The only people he has a personal relationship with are himself, Illyana, Agnes, Gerard, and Alice.
There was also the possibility that he made acquaintances in places he did not know.
However, there are not that many people in this world who are related to both Gerard and Eunhyeon.
No.
In fact, Liode also had one person in his mind, but he was completely unconscious of that possibility because he was unconsciously denying that possibility.
“No way… ?”
The wave of doubt that had begun to stir in his heart grew stronger and shook Leo’s mind.
“… Raynan?”
It’s not impossible.
But he hadn’t thought about it at all because he was convinced that it couldn’t be, couldn’t be.
Why Raynan? Why?
Could she be working with vampires to hunt humans?
Although he had heard from Eunhyeon and Gerard that he had disappeared due to the loss of news of RayNun.
Riod, who was living a busy life just taking care of his own business, didn’t care much.
“Do you know Liod? Ah, come to think of it, he said he was a former colleague of Hyuni and Gerard… Ah!”
In the end, Erin realized what she meant.
If Eunhyeon and Gerard were acquaintances in common, wouldn’t they naturally know Riod as well?
In addition, Erin, who turned her head slightly and looked behind her, confirmed the determined expression of Leo de, who was following her.
Erin’s guess was correct.
“Hey, Mr. Leo…”
The moment Erin tried to ask her about something while looking at Riod.
Kwaaang!
“Hee!?”
At the roar of the golden light that filled the dark night sky, Erin shook her shoulders and looked up at her sky.
It was such a strong roar that it ripped the air, making her stop and stare at her fast-paced footsteps.
“… Lightning?”
She slowly lowered her gaze from the sky to a point in front of her.
What kind of fight is going on in that place where the blindingly strong lightning is condensed and the density of strong magical power is felt?
“That power…”
Moreover, it was not a thunderbolt made with ordinary magical power.
Erin herself hadn’t been through a lot, but based on her own experiences, she thought it would be absolutely impossible to create such a powerful thunderbolt that would fill the sky with gold.
If you dare to compare, he is similar to the magical power of the nine-tailed fox he uses.
“Oh, what happened… ?”
Of those men who were at odds with Gerard, which one is using that power?
When Erin had thousands of imaginations running through her head, it was Riod who answered her questions.
“It’s Gerard.”
“Uh… ? Gerard’s magic… Were you that strong?”
“I don’t even know that much. I’ve never shown such power before. But… It is his specialty to attack by converting his own mana into thunderbolts.”
Even after seeing the thunderbolts decorating the dark night sky, Riod’s expression as he answered Erin’s question didn’t seem to be greatly shaken.
“… Move.”
“Yes yes.”
Of the two who stopped moving and looked up at the night sky blankly, Leo was the first to move his feet and lead the way.
Seeing that the thunderbolt that filled the night sky for a short time of about two seconds gradually faded and returned to the original dark night sky, Riod and Erin accelerated even more.
Arriving at the place where the lightning struck, the two of them hardened their faces when they saw the battered surroundings.
Buildings were collapsing and floors were cracked here and there.
In this place where Erin’s view was obscured by the dust, she spread ‘sense’ and searched for Gerard’s location somewhere.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult to find Gerard lying on the floor.
“Gerard!”
After identifying Gerard’s location, Erin rushed to where he was and hurriedly checked the state of Gerard who was lying on the floor.
Immediately putting her finger on the side of her carotid artery, Erin felt for her pulse, faintly confirming that her pulse was beating and her breathing was continuing, and she let out a sigh of relief.
“Whew…”
Outwardly, there was no visible trauma, and Gerard appeared to be exhausted, exhausting all of his physical and magical powers.
You can know the exact diagnosis by taking it to Eleanor, but at least it’s not serious enough to require first aid right now.
After a while, Erin looked at Liod and said.
“I think you are exhausted. There doesn’t seem to be any trauma. Really… What a relief.”
“…”
Hearing Erin sigh in relief and let out a sigh of relief, Liod looked around her.
At this point, I couldn’t see the image of the other person who would have fought a bloody battle with Gerard at all.
‘Who the hell is that?’
The aftermath of the fight that took place here is absolutely not at the level that can occur in a fight between humans.
Although Gerard’s power could be guessed from the fact that Gerard might have used a powerful force that transcended humans by some means to handle the massive thunderbolt.
The identity of the existence that would have faced such Gerard could not be guessed.
The doubt that had been swirling in Leo’s mind gradually turned on.
‘Raynan. Is it really you?’
Recalling the face of his old colleague with whom he had experienced life and death for a long time, Liod immediately turned his head to Erin, who had been monitoring Gerard’s condition.
“Let’s move to the aid station right away.”
“Yes.”
The decision to move to a relief center to receive treatment as soon as possible if things were not going well was the first thing I had to do to hear what had happened from Gerard.
Liod, who had lost consciousness and passed out Gerard on his back, returned to the aid station with Erin.
“It is exhaustion and exhaustion. It doesn’t look like life is in danger.”
“Haaa…”
At her aid station, hearing the results of Gerard’s examination clearly from Eleanor’s mouth, Erin sighed in relief and slumped back into her simple chair.
“Wouldn’t it be hard to wake up right away?”
“… Yes. I think that would be a little difficult. Even if there is no trauma, the accumulated fatigue in her body is too much.”
As a result of squeezing out the last drop of mana remaining in his body and using it, Gerard’s physical condition, suffering from extreme exhaustion, could never be said to be good.
Eleanor knew very well that the reason why there were no traumas left on his body was because the ‘chivalrous wings’ she had activated healed all the wounds he had suffered.
However, he was well aware of the limitations that no matter how much he recovered from his trauma and raised his physical condition to the highest level, it could not relieve the amount of magical power and mental fatigue in his body.
If that was possible, Eleanor herself would have been able to maintain the ‘chiang angel’s wings’ semi-permanently, which requires enormous divinity and consumption of mental power.
Eleanor fixed her expression and shifted her gaze to Leo de.
“To this extent… To say you pushed Master Gerard… Who the hell are you?”
One of the six heroes of the continent, Gerard, had an enemy among his enemies that was too heavy a fact to ignore.
“…”
But Riod hardened her face, unable to answer Eleanor’s question.
In fact, she herself was just a psychiatrist, because she wasn’t sure.
Not only was he convinced, but his personal feelings of not wanting to believe were included, but Riod was not aware of that feeling.
Soon he looked at Eleanor and opened her mouth.
“Later, I want to talk to him. Can you put me in touch?”
“He is now… All right.”
Eleanor, who recognized right away that the ‘that guy’ Leo de said was Eun-hyeon, pondered for a while and then nodded her head.
It was because she saw Leo De’s expression and sensed her unusualness.
Eleanor guessed that something unusual had happened from Lyod’s attitude of not answering her own question hastily and expressing her intention to consult with Eun-hyeon.
“Thank you.”
Lyod expressed his gratitude, albeit briefly.
“Whoops, no.”
Eleanor smiled wryly at the gratitude he expressed, her usual blunt impression.
“How are you Eleanor? Are you okay?”
As soon as Nosferard crashed and died at the hands of Riod, Eleanor immediately released her angelic wings.
Nosferad’s corpse is in a state of being frozen to prevent pathogens from spilling out.
Eleanor, who consumed a large amount of her divine power and mental power, was unable to purify Nosferard’s corpse.
“Are you okay. You will get better with a little rest.”
Now, Eleanor is resting in the field barracks of her aid station.
Outside, under the collaboration of wizards and priests belonging to the Magus Court Magus Corps led by Simon, she was working to purify the pathogens in Nosferard’s corpse little by little.
Eleanor intends to take a little break and participate in the cleansing of Nosferad’s corpse.
“Is it okay if Erin doesn’t rest?”
“I’m fine. Lol.”
“Then let me just go. Please take good care of Gerard.”
“All right. Liod.”
The most dangerous being, the ancient demon Nosferad, was also dealt with, and Gerard’s condition was also confirmed.
The operation to wipe out all the remnants of vampires remaining in the Lindewald Territory is not over yet.
Riod came out of the aid station to completely finish the sweeping operation that was almost at the end.
