Chapter 537 – 537. The Search for the Missing Platoon (6)
“Sister! Are you okay!?”
Erin hurriedly ran to her Aira and immediately checked the condition of Aira who was sitting on her floor.
Her armor, which she hadn’t taken care of for a long time, was in a bad state, and other than that, her trauma itself didn’t seem too serious, but what made Erin harden her face was the pain wrapped around her abdomen. Eira’s appearance.
“Sister? Did you hurt her stomach? It hurts a lot?”
“I guess… I think I broke a rib…”
“Ah… Wait a minute. First aid…”
“There is no need for that.”
Erin turned to her at the sound of her voice coming from behind her.
Erin kicked away the ogre’s battered and battered body, and when she saw Anies turning her back and approaching them, Erin lost her words for a moment.
“And…”
The sight of a gigantic ogre lying in rags and lying on the floor made her tongue stick out with overwhelming physical force that she could not reproduce with her own power.
Agies, who uses the Goddess bestowed by the goddess in exchange for enormous divinity, may have the best attack and defense power among the six heroes, no matter how many minutes he can maintain.
– Miss Erin. In fact, the most irrational among us is Agnes.
Erin remembered the words of Gerard, who once answered with a wry smile to her own curious question about which of the heroes was the strongest.
The recovery and support supported by divine blessings are by far the strongest among the priests.
In addition to that, Agies’ ability to exercise superior physical power than anyone else for a certain period of time is definitely irrational.
It is true that she has put in a lot of effort to reach this position, but her divine power, which can only be said to be natural as a saint, is certainly worth sticking out her tongue.
It was a completely different part from Eleanor’s angel’s wings, and I realized once again that her divine power was really great.
“Come out. I’ll look at the wounds.”
“Yes.”
As her priest, Erin obediently yielded Ayra to Anies, her field of expertise.
Glancing at Eira’s body up and down, Aies examined her condition and immediately prayed.
[Goddess. Some heels.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Highness Heal]
Unlike Eleanor, who prays to the goddess Vesta to grant her miracles with her devout heart, this is a very silent prayer without piety.
However, the miracle created by that prayer began to radiate a warm and bright light that covered Eyra’s entire body.
“Uh… ?”
Because she lost consciousness after a fierce battle, her internal injuries, which had become more serious due to being neglected without first aid treatment, healed neatly, and even accumulated fatigue disappeared like snow melting. Built
In Eira’s case, she was taken aback by the miraculous surprise of quickly recovering her condition to its best, but in her Erin’s case, it was for a completely different reason.
“And… With such a rough prayer… ?”
Although Erin did not worship a god herself, she indirectly knew what a god was like.
She knows that none other than her own husband is her demigod, and she is aware of the existence of her goddess who protects him by making him her demigod.
She was very reverent and too insincere for her prayers to those to be venerated, it was absurd that she seemed to be asking her best friend for a simple favor.
It was all the more so because it was clearly different from Eleanor’s divine prayer.
“How are you? Are you better?”
“It didn’t get any better… You restored me to a better condition than usual… ?”
“That’s all right. Come on, stand up.”
“Ah yes.”
Eira immediately nodded her head and raised her body from her sitting position.
“Sister… Sorry. I think I can’t use my sister’s sword…”
Erin put on a shy expression and pointed at the Eira longsword stuck in the ogre’s neck.
While containing the magical power of fox fire, he could not overcome the burden and reached the point where the longsword, broken from the inside of the blade, could no longer serve as a weapon.
Eira smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“Are you okay. Still, it’s because she defeated her witch beast. Rather… Is Erin okay? Erin’s sword…”
Erin’s rapier, which had not been able to completely sever her throat and was blocked by the ogre’s bare hand, had already broken her blade and lay miserably on the floor.
“Hey what… I broke it so often…”
It was not so easy to find a weapon that could maintain durability while fully containing the mighty magical power of the divine beast.
No matter how expensive and powerful weapons were purchased and used, all of them could not last for several months and broke at the end of their lifespan.
Erin let out a small sigh of her own and stared at another sword strapped to her own waist.
‘If I can just pull this out… She wouldn’t have to be stressed like this.’
The silver three-sword called Levantein, given to him by Eun-hyeon, is still firmly embedded in the scabbard and has not been revealed.
When Erin was able to pull out her Levantine with the help of her nine-tailed fox, which was inside her own body, she embraced all of the powers of the Shinsoo while maintaining her intact state, her Levantine’s performance. I still can’t forget
– Once she’s qualified, she’ll be able to draw her sword by herself, even if you’re an inexperienced four.
The meaning of the advice given by the nine-tailed fox at the time was that he still hadn’t fully mastered the power of the Shinsoo enough to use this sword.
That made me very upset.
“Are you okay?”
She let out a small sigh and looked at Erin, who was showing a regretful expression, and Eira asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“No. Nothing…”
“Well, then what do we do now? Can I go back now?”
“It’s late, but thank you so much for coming to rescue me.”
“No. Apologized Thank you for this guy.”
Aies calmly pointed her finger at her and handed over her credit for saving Eira to her Erin.
“Yes? Me, me!? But Anies-sama is stronger…”
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to find him in such a short period of time.”
Using her keen senses to track Eira’s scent, and being able to retrieve her Eira at high speed using her Retona taken out of her inventory is purely the result of Erin’s ability and judgment.
It wasn’t just that she subdued the ogres, but that her Erin and her role were the biggest in finding her before anything happened to her Eira, and reaching her current situation.
“Huh, is that so? Thank you. Erin.”
Eira smiled and patted Erin’s head.
The texture of her mangled gauntlet was very hard and cold, but the feeling she felt from Eira was very warm, and she didn’t hate it too much.
“Yes yes…”
“Hmm, well, now that you’ve recovered safely, let’s go back right away. That Retona earlier. Can you take it out again?”
“Uh… No? It’s already been summoned, so that’s impossible.”
“I think that bike can only seat two people, so it must be inconvenient… Should I just walk?”
I thought about having one person stand by here and Erin picking up one person and then returning to this place again, but the distance is also a distance and it’s not so good to act alone away from a dangerous place where you don’t know what monsters might come out. .
No matter how strong Anies or Erin was, the burden on those who waited and who had to come back and pick them up was the same.
There is not even a weapon that Erin or Eira can use right away.
“The three of us go together. I think that would be safe.”
In the case of Erin, she could fight using the nine-tailed fox’s witchcraft, but even if she used taijutsu, she could easily overwhelm most of the middle and lower level monsters.
Besides, since Agies was there, he was confident that he wouldn’t put too much pressure on Agies, unless he met only high-ranking monsters like ogres.
“Fortunately, I brought enough food…”
In her head, Erin roughly estimated the distance from her current location to the Mograf Territory.
If she stays homeless while walking non-stop for three or three days, she will be able to return safely.
“Huh. I’ll follow Erin’s words.”
“Okay. Whatever.”
Anies didn’t show much interest, as if she liked it, but there was trust in Eira’s eyes as she looked at her trustworthy sister.
As a gold-tier adventurer, she trusted Erin’s experience and judgment as a solo artist, so she chose to completely trust him.
“My only concern is… It’s Cha Han-seong…”
“Hanseong… ? Why?”
Eira didn’t understand why the name Cha Han-seong came out here, so she gave a puzzled expression.
“That is… Actually, the reason we came to find her older sister is because of Cha Han-seong.”
Erin tells Eira that she and her mother, upon arriving in Graf territory, she met Cha Hanseong at the temple, and through him she learned that Eira and her platoon had lost contact. She said that she had come across it.
She and she continued to worry about Eira and even strongly expressed her opinion that she should organize and send a search party to find her somehow.
“Hanseong…”
Eira, who heard her circumstances, blushed at her and gave her an embarrassing expression.
She was very grateful that they cared about her, but when she thought of the trouble she had caused the knights to do, she was ashamed to lift her face.
“Sister. What is she doing with him?”
“Uh, uh… ?”
Embarrassed by Erin’s question, Eira couldn’t answer right away and she hesitated.
Erin didn’t miss Eira’s suspicious reaction.
“She said her older sister was worried about him too… Hopefully each other… ?”
“Oh, no. Something like that!”
Eira’s attitude, which raised her voice without realizing it, as if she had been stabbed in the right direction, is certain.
“… Sister. I told you that men should meet well.”
“Poop…”
Anyes desperately endured a near-laughter because it was fun to be able to give such advice to someone while her wife was inside the cage of a man with four of them.
‘Well, he says he’s happy, but that’s enough.’
Iliana and Eleanorna were faithful to their current lives, caring for each other, and supporting Eunhyun, as friends and bystanders, it wasn’t that bad.
Rather than that, Agnes pondered hard to clear the question that had now arisen in his mind.
“Hmm…”
“Huh?”
Erin, who was walking side by side with Erin and heard the muttering of Agnes, who intruded on her story, asked Erin with a puzzled look on her face.
With a thoughtful expression on her face, she seemed to have something on her mind.
“Anies? Why are you like that?”
“No. Just. I have something to worry about.”
“What are you concerned about?”
“Why were there three ogres?”
Ogres are not monsters with a tendency to form groups.
Ogres, who are strong and have a physique close to giants, are high-ranking monsters that are threatening with just a single individual.
Why were there three such ogres in one place?
Even though she had quite a career as an adventurer, Erin, who had no information or experience about ogres yet, was an unanswerable question.
However, the guess to resolve Agies’ question came first from Eira’s side.
“Not an ogre… Powerful demons… They are approaching the border in groups… How about that?”
“…”
“…”
Erin and Agies couldn’t answer right away and looked at each other frowning.
Having been through a situation similar to that, she let go of the possibility she didn’t want to think about.
Eventually, the three of them exchanged glances with Eira as well, and were convinced that they had come up with a common idea.
It was Erin who broke the silence and spoke first.
“Both of you… Did you remember the Witchbeast’s stampede phenomenon that happened before?”
“… Huh.”
“However? No. But… It’s different from back then.”
If it was a stampede where large-scale monsters appeared and advanced in groups, it couldn’t be of this scale.
It is not a stampede where a large number of monsters are summoned due to the runaway dungeon, but the possibility that the wild beasts that exist in this vast forest may be flocking to the border of Fernias Kingdom, the Mograf Territory.
It’s a ridiculous story, but it’s not an impossible story.
Witchbeasts don’t have intelligence, but they do have their own habit of being faithful to their instincts.
At the end of this forest is the kingdom of Rendir, which has already been destroyed and is infested with undead.
The fact that the undead, whose scale gradually increased as time passed, was flowing into the forest was already reported on the border of Mograf.
If the monsters whose survival instinct was stimulated by the undead were flocking here.
It’s not just the undead that the Mograf alter has to fend off.
Ayra hardened her face and spoke hastily to Erin.
“Let’s hurry. We need to inform the Knights and the Marquis of this possibility quickly.”
“Ah, I get it!”
However, at the same time as making that decision, Erin sensed the existence of demonic beasts rushing here at high speed.
Erin’s fox ears and nine tails tensed up as she sensed the presence of dozens of monsters swiftly running on quadrupeds to sniff out and prey on her prey.
“Sir Anies! Ayra sister! Come!”
