Helmut
Episode 482
“Heike!”
Area shouted urgently towards the suddenly closed dungeon entrance.
It was Heike who closed the door.
I couldn’t believe it. When was she so sacrificial?
But the next moment, the entire dungeon shook.
Grumble!
Even though Heike blocked it once, the impact of the outside collapsing was still felt.
As the owner of the dungeon, Area had to do everything in her power to maintain it.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to endure alone for long. Because Xian woke up.
“…Yes? “What happened?”
When he opened his eyes and exercised his power, the dungeon quickly stabilized. Only then could everyone take a breather.
Area sat down and looked at the floor. This is because he foresaw Heike’s fate.
This time it was Helmut who comforted her. Helmut’s hand rested on Area’s shoulder.
Our eyes met. The two shared sympathy in silence.
Helmut lost Elaga and Area lost Heike. My heart was heavy at the sacrifices they had to make despite achieving their most difficult goal.
The others, who had calmed down after realizing the situation, soon recovered their spirits.
Asuka and Luke Yeager were simple and positive.
First of all, haven’t you achieved your goal? They defeated the devil and saved the world.
“We are warriors now.”
Sian muttered. It’s my first time hearing such an unfamiliar title, Hero Xian.
“Is it all over? “I hope it’s over.”
Asuka revealed her true feelings.
Luke Yeager laughed haha.
“I’ve been deceiving you so far, and when I get out, the devil will be there! “He might be waiting for us.”
“…I’m glad you’re the knight commander.”
How can you tell such a boring and unlucky joke? If I had been a low-ranking knight, I would have lived without paying attention.
As Asuka rolled her eyes, Luke Yeager scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Things like that happen, too.”
As they started talking loudly, the dungeon quickly became noisy.
After gathering her thoughts, Area calmly opened her mouth.
“The link with the outside world is broken. “You have to recover it and get the coordinates to open the entrance.”
We will have to open the entrance to the human world.
“How long does it take?”
Asuka asked.
“well. I also need to recover my magic power… It will take a few days, so I’ll rest and stay in the dungeon for a while. “Because there is enough food.”
“Oh, a spirit is summoned here.”
The spirit of light summoned by Xian danced and hovered in the air. That’s how the party’s dungeon exploration began.
“Don’t break things.”
The dungeon owner, who had no intention of inviting them, felt displeased, but soon began to recover his magic power.
“Why do you like it so much here?”
“Oh, here’s such a luxurious sofa. “It is indeed Area.”
“You’re rich, you’re rich!”
“…Magic is amazing.”
Amidst the commotion, Helmut was able to enter the private training center prepared for him. He also had to recover his vis there.
The fight isn’t over yet. The collapse of the sacred barrier means that countless monsters from Pahe Forest are pouring out toward the human world.
You have to recover quickly and go out to deal with them.
‘The wall will be fine.’
It might be able to hold out for a little while. That lack of trust made the situation feel urgent.
Helmut entered the Vis training method while sleeping.
* * *
A tough struggle was taking place at the wall. A battlefield where life and death come and go.
All of the humans there were going through a war against monsters for the first time in their lives.
This is not about subjugation or hunting. It was literally war.
Wow! Kiyooooo!
The howl of the monster rushing towards the wall tore my eardrums.
The monsters of Pahe Forest whose shape and size are so ferocious that it makes your stomach tingle!
Its power was so great that just grazing it with their claws would put it in a near-death state.
“oh! “Oh my god, look at the size of that!”
“It’s over there! “I jumped over the wall!”
“Stop it! “It must not be penetrated!”
The attack began a week after the sacred barrier collapsed.
They appeared one by one, wandering around for a while before running into the barrier and collapsing. The number increased in an instant.
Although they did not attack in concert, they were threatening just by charging at each other individually.
Each one of them is a monster I have never seen before. If such a monster had appeared in the human world, the area would have been declared a dangerous area.
The magical energy emitted by the monsters is enough to collapse the barrier.
Wizards and priests were constantly restoring it, but there were too many of them.
The people Helmut and his party killed were just the tip of the iceberg.
The wall was strong, but the onslaught of monsters was beyond imagination.
They eventually found a gap in the solid wall. It dug its claws in and crawled up to the top of the wall and roared for a long time.
Wow!
There is a delicious smell of human meat coming from beyond.
Just ignore the troublesome people up here.
“It’s coming up again! “First stop entry!”
“No, we have to catch that guy first!”
“Drop it down the wall!”
The monster that climbed onto the wall bit off the knight’s head and chewed it.
Brain fluid and blood were scattered mercilessly over the wall.
However, holy magic fell on the guy who was obsessed with human meat.
Kyaoooo!
It tumbled down the wall, emitting black smoke.
Someone said as if they were fed up.
“Now that I have tasted human meat, I will come out more actively.”
The body was recovered while the attack subsided for a while.
The smell of blood only arouses the monsters even more. Even his closest colleagues could not help but grieve.
Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot.
If the humans gathered here weren’t elite, they wouldn’t have been able to fight properly.
Monsters constantly attack day and night, but the number of humans is limited.
It wasn’t easy to take turns fighting.
They climbed up destroying the wall, and the wizards repaired the wall and created a barrier.
But the defense line was shaky.
One weak guy took advantage of the rush to skip the barrier and enter the room.
Some people who were taking a break quickly followed suit.
“You can’t miss it!”
“The village soldiers cannot stop it! “Not even one!”
Almost all of the probable power was concentrated on the wall. The rest were guarding their country’s capital.
The military cannot reach these remote villages. One monster can annihilate a village.
So we shouldn’t have let even a single person in.
Tracking it wasn’t difficult. But the problem came after that.
The monster that entered the forest impatiently attacked and ate the humans chasing it.
It is a monster that lives in the forest of Pahe. The forest was an advantageous battlefield for him.
So natural is the idea of preying on those who are rushing after them.
When has a monster ever been chased by a human in the forest of Pahe?
He was just waiting. I hope humans crawl in to eat it.
“You damn squirrel.”
The lone mercenary was swearing. I was sweating all over my body due to tension.
Although it was so ferocious that a real squirrel would be scared and run away if it saw it, the monster was similar to a squirrel.
Extremely agile movement. It climbed from tree to tree and preyed on the advance team.
All of my colleagues have already passed away. He is the only one who survived.
But he will soon follow in the footsteps of his colleagues.
Too much haste was a defeat.
‘Am I here too?’
Neither his experience nor his skills were of any use in the face of an absolutely powerful enemy.
However, a strong will soon bloomed in their eyes where despair was about to encroach. No, it’s too early to give up.
If you want to live, there will be a hole to live in. Reinforcements will arrive soon.
We got closer to the entrance to the forest. I can’t sense any signs of him. He had already eaten his fill of human meat. Have I given up?
…No, that can’t be possible.
The shadow fell first. The mercenary instinctively raised his sword.
Sigh! Crash!
A strong shock hit my hand. As he lost his sword and fell, the mercenary had a premonition of death.
But then.
Sigh!
The image of the shadow’s head being split in half was reflected on the floor.
A strong bloody smell rose in the air. The mercenary raised his head.
There was a man standing there.
“Why are you alone?”
He had pale white skin, and his eyes and hair were as black as the night.
He cut off the monster’s head with a single sword.
“I was retreating after losing my comrades.”
The mercenary swallowed his saliva and answered.
He seemed to know who the person in front of him was. If it’s a dance like this.
“Can you?”
At that moment, a shout was heard from the other side.
“Are you okay there?”
“Did you catch the monster?”
Dozens of mercenaries swarming in. They stopped after seeing the person who had cut down the monster.
“Helmut! No… Helmut?”
It was Tanya of the Face Mercenaries. She looked at Helmut with a look of astonishment and surprise. Everyone was like that.
I also heard rumors about him from the Face Mercenaries. They all remembered Helmut.
Because there’s no way you can forget your lifesaver so easily.
“You came back safely! “I’m so glad!”
I knew that those who left for the Forest of Pahe had succeeded in their mission.
Because everyone was watching the movements of Pahe Forest.
However, a strong spatial distortion occurred in the center of the Pahe Forest.
The entire area near the center of the forest was devastated. It wouldn’t have been easy to survive there.
There was a high possibility that those who went there died.
But those waiting did not give up hope.
And Helmut was here.
“Tanya.”
Helmut looked at her in surprise. Not only her, but also the people of the Face Mercenaries.
Tanya’s older brother, Fuen Maros Sean Bern Uter, who went on a mission together.
Although it has become unfamiliar now that five years have passed, the faces are similar to those that remain in my memory.
The faint nostalgia of the time when I first came out of the forest of digging and was filled with hope came back to me.
“What happened? Why did you appear here?”
“Because the gate opened around here.”
A little while ago, Area succeeded in opening the entrance to the dungeon. It was around here.
Helmut realized that there was a monster here and came this way, while the rest headed straight to the barrier.
It was stronger and more intact than when it left. They will be of great help. Enough to lead this war to victory.
“Thank you for saving my life.”
Helmut stared at the mercenary’s face as he lowered his head.
Because it looked like someone he knew.
“Ethan Kudrow?”
“…He is my father.”
Was Ethan’s son working as a mercenary? It was an amazing coincidence.
Darian saved Ethan and Helmut saved his son. History was repeating itself.
Helmut spat out a moment later.
“I owe Ethan too. “You can thank your father.”
After speaking, Helmut looked around.
“I don’t have time for small talk. “Let’s head to the wall.”
The war will continue for some time.
And…
many things were still waiting for Helmut.
After everything is concluded, you will have time to look back.
