Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 210
The cultists had no names. It is because he abandoned his original name in the name of dedicating his present life to God in order to be reborn and live as a demon.
However, as it was essential to distinguish individuals to maintain the organization, they had no choice but to compromise with reality and carve numbers instead of names. In the end, it was no different from the name, but they focused on symbolism and turned their eyes away from such an uncomfortable truth.
So the cultist became number 84, and he worked zealously to escape the overwhelming fear he felt on the battlefield.
That is, until he was taken captive and dragged around like a pack.
For more than two weeks, what he felt was dark fear and despair. The times I had to go through after being left alone were terrifying. Aside from the fact that his faith was shaken by the wicked pagan’s tongue, it was because the mighty weapon he wielded kept reminding him of the demons.
That alone is a serious problem, but even his colleagues who suddenly increased were all talented. Even leading a woman famous as a golden wizard, they were moving forward with the idea of completely destroying their brothers and sisters, as well as their home, the Order.
Even holding a vicious magic tool that didn’t exist when we first met. I can assure you that even if I ambushed with just one weapon, 1/3 of them would not even react properly and would die. It was an unprecedented crisis in the church’s history.
Number 84 wanted to trust her brothers and sisters, but she couldn’t avert her eyes from the fact that the wicked cult was too strong, and she tried every day to somehow escape and warn her comrades.
Fortunately, surveillance was neglected, perhaps because the number of people increased. However, rather than running away hastily, he decided to look for an opportunity to make sure he could run away when he got close enough to the church.
They moved on horseback anyway, and it was an unavoidable choice because he was penniless and only had two legs.
If I don’t win a mental victory like that, I think I’ll run away again like I did on the battlefield.
“We’re almost there, Eldmia-sama. If you enter the forest, you’ll arrive at their hideout within an hour.”
“It arrived as expected. Then, let’s build the camp right away and plan an ambush.”
Even at the moment of stealing the offerings, the dwarf girl, who had no time to rest and made fun of her cursed mouth, announced the arrival, and the heretic, like the personification of violence, gave orders. With that alone, others started to move in perfect order, doing their job.
One side was because of the sins committed, and the other side was originally just doing well on its own, but to the 84 eyes that did not know the circumstances, it was a sight that could only be seen as the unstoppable influence of the heretics.
“What will he do?”
When a large female warrior using a Warhammer big enough to believe that it was a battering ram asked a question to the cultist, his gaze turned to number 84. With that alone, 84 had to feel the threat to their lives, but luckily the pagan didn’t seem to want to go against what he said to him in the first place.
“It’s annoying if you resist when fighting, so just starve.”
Perhaps to keep the last word he said he would kill, the heretic did no harm to number 84. So, reminding himself that he still had one last chance, No. 84 let out a sigh of relief.
Time, which flowed so slowly just a few days ago, seemed to flow so fast today. Despite having only eaten one meal, the movement of 84, which was trying to somehow untie the rope in the midst of intense hunger, suddenly stopped.
The ropes that bound his arms had come loose.
‘Thank you, Demon God!’
Eighty-four, clenching the slack in a fist and pretending the rope was well-tied, slowly looked around.
It was still early, but those who had decided to prepare for the surprise attack at dawn were already getting ready for bed. Watching those who have already decided on a night watch and go to sleep, the heart of number 84 started beating like crazy.
It was good that the rope was untied, but the opportunity to escape was completely unknown, so as time passed, his tension increased without knowing the end.
one hour two hours. I was supposed to be tired because I spent all my time nervous, but I didn’t feel it because I was so overly nervous. Number 84’s head was full of only the will to seize the right opportunity and get out of this place.
“Ugh. You must be nervous. I feel bad.”
The long, long wait was rewarded.
The bald man who was on duty was complaining of a stomachache and left with a hesitant gesture. I knew it instinctively. That now is your only chance. 84 untied the rope without hesitation and began moving cautiously.
If caught, everything was over. A heretic might kill himself if he tried to escape. Number 84 was also able to know because it had dealt with those who tried to run away by offering countless sacrifices.
So, I calmly distanced myself from the campsite. Everyone is asleep anyway, and the only watch goes the other way and doesn’t come back for a while. As he entered the forest, endlessly reminding himself of that fact, he took a deep breath, convinced that he had gained some distance.
And it ran like crazy.
Running around in the village as a child, running away from debt, being chased by monsters, running away from the battlefield while heading to the battlefield. There were so many moments when I had to run with all my might, but I could guarantee 84 times. Right now is the moment in my life when I am running at my fullest. He is literally running with all his strength. Because he ran without proper warm-up, his muscles soon complained of pain, but he did not stop.
Even though it was getting dark, after running until his eyes were yellow and he had difficulty breathing, a sight that was all too familiar began to come into his eyes.
“Brothers and sisters! I’m back! Number 84 is back!”
“Oh my god brother?! Are you really a brother!”
they were family. Families who see the same thing and share the same despair become closer than blood. That’s why #84 couldn’t choose to abandon them and run away.
“What the hell happened? Did you send a second team because your return was delayed, but you didn’t meet them?”
A worrying tone even though the mission has failed. Number 84 could not hide her tears as she saw her brothers rushing out to greet her.
“Hehe…! This is not the time! I barely managed to escape! There will be an attack by the cultists soon!”
“A raid?!”
“Oh my God. Sister Number 90! Go ahead and talk to the high priest! Brother Number 84, stay calm. Is it because of them that there has been no news of the pursuers? How many troops did they bring?”
“Yeah, there are only 11 of us, but the number is not important, brother. Only one killed all the brothers who were organized in the chase! It was unbelievably strong!”
When the faces of the dead brothers came to mind with the relief that they were safe, emotions began to rise belatedly, but now was not the time to be swayed by emotions, but more than anything else, it was the time when a detailed explanation was needed. Number 84 quickly added an explanation, as it could be seen through the masks that the brothers were very nervous after hearing that everyone had died right away.
“He is good at night raids and surprise attacks. Now he even has a powerful projectile magic tool, so the brothers who came later died without even reacting properly! He even possesses a magic sword. If we don’t immediately summon the brothers from the 20th division and counterattack, we will suffer great damage!”
“My God… what a big deal!”
Feeling fear and awe at the demons who were overwhelmingly stronger than themselves, they ran away and gathered together, and almost reflexively recoiled at the story of a strong enemy. Since everyone has fought demons before, it was not difficult to infer roughly how strong it was from the explanation of #84.
To be precise, I could tell because he had escaped after an indirect encounter. If they had fought directly, they would surely have died.
“The second team was formed, including the brothers from the 30th division, in preparation for an unexpected situation, but even if it is not possible, it is more than the 10th commander of the Demon King’s Army, right?”
The demon king worships strength. They, too, had only heard rumors, but the reason why they are the captains of each troop is because they are the strongest and smartest among them. Some even said that he was a captain because he could not win even if all the troops under his command attacked him.
The 30th division was capable enough to deal with the 10th commanders of the Demon King’s Army who were driving rumors like that. Assuming that the rumors about the demons had some authenticity, they were by no means weak.
“Brother number 84 to the high priest! We have to tell you this!”
Because of that, they hurriedly entered the church in a sense of crisis.
Not noticing that there are people who are still watching the back of the building, which is worn out and collapsed and disappears into a building that looks more like a ruin or an abandoned dungeon than a church.
“I fell asleep after playing with each other assholes.”
No one listened to Eldmia, who had quietly followed 84, muttering with a poop-chewed expression.
