Chapter 539 – 539. Undead Beast (2)
The three of them, Erin, Ayra, and Anies, passed through the night and moved toward the fortress of Mograf without rest, even at dawn.
It was because he had to inform the Mograf territory as soon as possible that the Undead and the Witchbeasts, who were moving to avoid them, were approaching the border as soon as possible, and prepare for the danger.
The three women did not stop walking even at dawn, but none of them complained of difficulties or showed any dissatisfaction.
The divine power of Agnes, the best priest, neatly restored the accumulated fatigue and damage from the battle with the demonic beasts, and made it possible to march for over 10 hours.
However, even if the fatigue accumulated in the body was resolved, it did not mean that the limit would not come forever.
“Erin… Are you okay?”
Eira looked at her Erin’s condition with her concerned expression.
She maintained her nine-tailed fox look for a long time, expanding her five senses and maximizing her senses, alerting her surroundings.
It’s not just a few minutes, she can’t even imagine how much strain and fatigue she’s giving her mentally by not being able to relax.
Even the fact that the reason she is doing this here now is to rescue herself in distress while trying to protect her new recruits in her platoon expedition makes Eira more worried.
Agnes’s divine power covers her physical fatigue, but her magical power is consumed and mental fatigue is a problem that even her divine power can’t deal with.
“… Are you okay.”
Erin smiled and shook her head slightly.
She was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and since she had to return to Mo Graf Territory as soon as possible, she understood very well the importance of her role.
She’s not getting the slightest break, and it’s Erin, who’s taking on a lot of the burden with her biggest role right now, rushing her unreasonably into her comeback.
“A little rest though…”
“But she is making a quick comeback now…”
“If you just need to move, leave it to me.”
In the end, Anies, who was worse than her, wrapped her arm around Erin’s waist and lifted her on her own shoulder.
“Oh… ! My, please come down… !”
Erin, who was taken aback by Anies’ sudden action, resisted a little, but she was not at the level that Erin could do anything with Anies, which even an ogre could not do.
“It’s okay. Even so, she took a little break. Her holy power can heal her physical fatigue, but it can’t help her mental fatigue.”
“…”
“If you want to be helpful, take a break and recover from your fatigue.”
“Yes…”
Erin couldn’t resist Agies’ words.
The fatigue she had been forcibly enduring up until now gradually dominates her mind and makes her feel drowsy.
The rush of her drowsiness soon forced her Erin’s eyes to close.
Her transformation into a nine-tailed fox, which had been formed with blue magical power, was released and she returned to normal Erin, and her entire body slumped on Agies’ shoulder.
“… Tsk. Even if it resembles something like this.”
The sight of her falling asleep in an instant also means that Erin’s mental strength, which she had been holding on to, has finally reached its limit.
Aies, who saw this, clicked her tongue, and Eira, who was traveling with her, asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“… Who are you talking about?”
“Who is it? The guy who taught this guy. Disciples and teachers are all the same.”
“Ah.”
Eira realized that she was talking about Eun-hyeon, and she gave a small sigh.
Although she accompanies herself like this, she realizes that the little girl in front of her who has the appearance of a child is a very great hero who worked in a team with her father 20 years ago.
“He too… Were you so overbearing?”
“It was my daily routine to overdo it.”
Eun-hyeon has always been at the center of her team, pushing her teammates from behind and pulling them from the front.
Beast search and search, orders, replenishment and calculation of necessary expenses and equipment, etc.
She cared about everything from the little things to the big things, and she even taught herself and others.
She knew it wasn’t the right thing to leave everything to Eun-hyeon, but she was so comfortable and grateful that she did it herself, so everyone on her team took it for granted and depended on it.
What Agnes sees from Erin is that kind of Eun-hyeon.
She was clumsy because of her lack of experience compared to Eun-hyeon, but Aies could clearly see how much Erin was trying to do because she longed for Eun-hyeon and wanted to act like him.
“How did you even get married after picking up such a lump of blood… I don’t know what he thinks, but I don’t know.”
It is also strange that Eunhyeon and Illyana, whom I thought would never marry, now have a baby in her belly, but when I heard that Erin, who had just become an adult, became a bride just like her, I was dumbfounded. .
“Anies-sama… Do you have someone in mind?”
“… Why do you ask?”
A completely unrelated topic popped up, and Agies asked with his eyes wide open.
“No. Just… I’m curious.”
It was purely Eira’s pure curiosity that she wondered what her former colleague with her father was doing now.
“Joy. If you like a child-like body like this, isn’t that a problem?”
Agies snorted.
Agnes, who has been blessed with enormous divine blessings due to the grace she received from her goddess, but her growth has been stopped because of that, will not be able to escape from this girl’s façade for the rest of her life.
How many men in the world can accept this look?
“And I’ve never felt particularly lonely or romantically inclined.”
When he thought about it, he realized anew that his disposition was also very peculiar.
After the war ended 20 years ago, he and his comrades all scattered and each began to settle down in his own way, moving forward toward the goal he had set for himself.
Riod married Theresia and became a knight of the kingdom.
Gerard inherited Eun-hyeon’s will and pursued the remnants of the black magicians who could not be dealt with during the war.
Alice found the forest of the elves and took her elf as her husband, leading her carefree life.
Raynan took over her title and became a noble of the Kingdom of Rendir, but she recently received the worst news.
She heard good news and bad news, but the most fortunate thing was the resurrection of Eunhyun and the stability of Illyana.
Agies glanced at Erin and murmured.
“But thanks to this guy, the two of them are stable in their own way, so it’s okay.”
Erin, who sometimes treats her like a lover, like her sister, or like a daughter, has now settled in their hearts as a very precious existence to Eunhyeon and Illyana.
Agies, who had no time to worry about anything else, was too busy thinking about his former colleagues, and there was no room for loneliness or romance.
“Huh, your father was right.”
“What? What did Lyod say?”
“The tone and personality are very rough, but… He said that among all the members of the team, including his father, he loved Agnes the most.”
“… Nonsense.”
Agies frowned and hurried his steps.
Eira smiled slightly as she watched her back as she hurriedly moved to hide her shyness.
-That guy’s tone and behavior are very rough unlike his appearance, but he has a very deep affection. Because he is the one who still holds in his heart the fact that he couldn’t fix the eyes of Alice who lost her eyesight 20 years later.
She didn’t express it, but the fact that she was holding it while blaming herself for not being able to fix Alice’s eyes despite her highest level of divinity, saying that it was her own lack of competence, represented her not-so-hard temper.
As they walked through the forest with such warm smiles, Ayra and Anies heard the sound of something approaching this place, quickly passing through the bush.
“This… ?”
It’s not the sound of approaching by kicking the ground with nimble movements.
The sound of a huge object forcibly pushing through the bush like a carriage was unknown to Ayra, but it was a familiar sound to Agnes’ ears.
“I am not an enemy.”
“Yes? Then…”
Without time to clear up their doubts, the faint light seen through the bushes grew stronger and the two frowned.
However, he did not take his eyes off the direction where something was gradually approaching.
Before long, what appeared while damaging the bush was the Retona, a four-wheel-drive vehicle with two headlights placed in front shining on the two people.
“Senior!”
The driver’s window was lowered, and the voice calling out to her as she leaned forward was from a very unexpected person.
“Hah, Hanseong?”
“Wow, he’s really great too.”
Anyes has been responding with amazement after grasping the general situation of her.
However, there is no doubt that this situation itself was a very welcome situation for Erin, Eirana, and herself, who had fallen asleep due to her mental exhaustion.
“Hitter.”
“Yes yes…”
Following her anies towards her retona, Aira followed her and pushed her body into the back seat and her breath flowed naturally as she leaned back on her comfortable cushions.
“Whoa… Oh, I’ll take care of Erin.”
She immediately took her sleeping Erin from Agnes and laid her down in the back seat and put her head on her own lap so that she could rest in comfort.
He then shifted his gaze to Cha Han-seong, who was sitting in the driver’s seat.
“… What happened. Han Sung? To Erin, you… I heard she was in charge of bringing the members back safely?”
“Everyone has been reinstated. And finally, I came out to find my senior and the two of you.”
“… Did you do it all by yourself?”
Retona is limited to five or six people no matter how many people it carries.
Considering the weight of the armaments worn by the knights, even that might be insufficient.
It is not enough to go back and forth through this forest several times to bring all dozens of knights back safely, and Cha Han-seong’s tenacity in searching for the three until dawn is so great that it cannot be expressed in words.
On top of that, the consumption of her physical strength and the magical power required to move Retona would not be negligible.
In fact, Cha Han-seong, who is holding the steering wheel in the driver’s seat, is as haggard as Erin before falling asleep, and is desperately enduring it.
‘I’ve never been drowsy driving in my life…’
If I had been myself in my previous life, I would never have done such a crazy thing, but now I wasn’t in a situation to argue about that.
Fortunately, there is no concept of license here, so there is no risk of being revoked.
Cha Hanseong observed Eira’s condition through the rearview mirror.
“Senior. Is your body okay? In case of injury…”
“Who cares about who? Look at your face and tell me.”
Anyone can see that the person who needs to rest right now is Cha Han-seong, who is tired.
“Tsk.”
Agies prayed to his goddess to ease the burden of Cha Han-seong sitting in the driver’s seat.
[Goddess. Some heels.]
[Vesta’s Blessing]
[Highness Heal]
“Uh… ?”
The miraculous light manifested by his sincere prayer instantly covered his entire body and washed away all the accumulated fatigue in his body.
Cha Han-seong felt that his condition, which seemed like he would fall asleep immediately if he lost his mind even a little, was restored in an instant, and he was a little taken aback because he had never experienced the highest level divine magic spell.
Momentarily, his eyes moved to Anies, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, who created the miracle, but Agies frowned and scolded Cha Han-sung.
“Hey. Can’t you see in front? Want to get behind If you make me grab your back again, then you really have to take care of it.”
“I’m sorry!”
Cha Han-seong calmed down and focused on driving again.
