Apostle of the Gods

04 Incidents in the woods

It is not calm with the sound of the sword trident "Kensaki".

When I sit on my back with the bird I caught, I run toward the sounder.

If nothing happens, fine. If anyone is in trouble, I want to help them.

Don't forget to suppress magic and hide signs and presence before you approach.

A short distance from the source of the sound, about thirty meters away, I stopped my leg.

One is a girl dressed in black in a wide black triangle hat by her side.

It is an old-fashioned witch outfit.

And there's one middle-aged man covering the girl.

In a form hostile to the two, there were three masked men.

Nine men have fallen around them.

"I'm not gonna get hit that easy."

…………

The middle-aged man, while wounded, is pointing a cut of his sword at the masked men.

The masked do not utter a word. I'm slowly asking about the gap.

Apparently the middle-aged man looked quite powerful. There is no gap.

It doesn't look like it's going to be easy.

But judging by the outfit, the nine falling men look like fellow middle-aged men.

The battle, which began ten to three, is now one to three.

It will be only a matter of time before a middle-aged man loses.

"I'll take care of this place and run away!

A middle-aged man screams. They're trying to get away with the girl behind them.

The girl in the robe is trembling, but putting up a cane and scowling at the masked ones.

"If you don't heal magic on everyone, you'll die!

"That's what they're after! That's why I didn't stab him."

Apparently, the nine men are not dead.

Without daring to stab me in the stomach, I guess I'm making enough to keep middle-aged men and girls from escaping.

"Even so! You're with me if you don't heal magic right away!

I know exactly how a girl feels.

Even if it's an enemy pot, my people won't be able to help me unless I do some healing magic.

That's why you can't get away with it.

But the middle-aged man screams in a tight tone.

"The king's capital is right there! Run in and call for help!

"You can't just run away from me."

"That's the best chance of survival for everyone! Think you can help me and run."

Strongly said, the girl never runs out of her mind. But one of the masks goes around.

"Let it!

A middle-aged man moves to cover the girl, but it also seemed to be the aim of the masked ones.

Another masked man slashes a middle-aged man off his back.

"Chi!

A middle-aged man waves his sword sharply behind his back, but the masked men distance themselves slightly.

"Ugh..."

The girl appears to have been shallowly slashed in the leg in a series of attacks. It won't be fatal but it will be difficult to run.

I understood the basic maneuvers of the masked.

If we abandon all our allies and focus on defeating the masks, I guess middle-aged men can fight more than each other.

The power of middle-aged men is as high as that.

That's why the nine men are kept alive.

The middle-aged man has to deal with it just to show off his sleigh attacking his falling companion.

The masked ones cleverly make the gap.

It hurts shallow and weakens them slightly.

If a middle-aged man tries to pin down one enemy at a time, the target takes a distance at once.

That way you can't chase a middle-aged man.

Because if we leave this place, those who are falling and girls will be exposed to attack.

As it is, the middle-aged man will fall soon.

Then both the girl and the nine men will die.

"I see. It's like a bear hunt by a bunch of skilled wolves."

So I dare to approach you slowly, speaking out and appealing to existence.

…………

The masked men look silent and alert, asking for this one.

Ignore that and smile and talk to the middle-aged man. Smiling doesn't seem alarming.

"I don't know what's going on, but let's take a bayonet."

"What about you?

The middle-aged man cares a lot, look here.

"He's a passing eight-year-old."

And I speak to the girl.

"You're a healer, aren't you? Focus on your treatment."

"But..."

I'm going to look at this one in a confused way. I know how the girl feels confused.

If I tried to use healing magic, the masks would have obstructed me.

"Don't worry. Don't let it get in the way."

In the middle of the conversation, one of the masks attacked me from behind with a dagger on my right hand.

Quite a sharp figure. He's also good at putting out signs.

I guess he's a skilled assassin.

"But it's still too late"

Without looking back, I grab the right hand of the masked man behind me with my left hand.

"- Huh!"

The masked man is surprised without a voice.

"You seem surprised during the battle, it's still second-rate"

I wield the masked arm I grabbed at my fingertips, and throw another masked man at me.

At the same time I packed an intermission with the other mask all at once.

"One first"

I slapped my knee into the masked face.

He strengthened his legs with magic and knocked them in with accelerated momentum at once.

No matter how light I weigh for an eight-year-old, it will be powerful enough.

- Gogang!

The crushing sound of the bones on his face hidden in the mask echoed. He won't be dead, but he can't move anymore.

To clamp down on the next mask, looking back,

"... you're early"

A middle-aged man had already defeated the two and stabbed them in the stomach.

"I got a gap thanks to you throwing it away. Thanks."

I think I did make a gap.

But it's not what you can do to defeat your enemies without missing it.

The middle-aged man still looks quite amazing.

"I'm glad I could help. I'll take care of it later."

"I know."

The middle-aged man moved to tie me up with a mask that smashed my facial bones.

After that, I see a girl.

The girl is leaving her injuries unattended and exerting healing magic on the most seriously ill of the fallen men.

Even though the girl is young, she seems quite a healing magician.

But it hasn't worked very well.

"You yourself remain bleeding. Shouldn't you be healing yourself first?

"My wounds are scratches. But these people..."

Sure, the guys are higher in severity. However, it is difficult to maintain concentration while remaining injured.

The power and success rate of healing magic decreases.

"The safety of healers should be a top priority. If we don't, we won't be able to save what we can."

"But..."

"I know how you feel. So I'll fix your injury."

In my words, a middle-aged man opened his eyes.

"Boy, aren't you a fighter?

"I'm a fighter, I'm a healer"

He also teaches healing magic in his training with the gods.

"Then let's go."

"Ma, wait! The interference..."

A phenomenon called interference occurs when another applies healing magic to a healing magician who is activating healing magic.

When interference occurs, healing magic fails.

You just need to be underdeveloped, but sometimes the effect can be inverted or cause a small explosion.

It is therefore considered a very dangerous act.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna do that."

The phenomenon known as healing magic interference occurs because magic currents interrupt and rebel against each other.

You just need to fully grasp the magic flow and stay out of the way.

That's all that makes interference stop happening.

I carefully cure witchcraft on a girl.

That's it. That's it.

In an instant, the girl's injury was completely healed.

"Huh? How the hell did you do that?

"All you have to do is read the magic flow. Then we will treat the others."

I'm falling. I'm going to read the magic flow in the nine bodies.

To find out what kind of injury you're getting.

Most healers don't do this, but it's important to exercise proper healing magic.

It's one of the things the Water God taught me.

"Hmm. You're poisoned."

"What? It's poison? We need to find out what poison it is..."

"Give me a minute. I'll look into it now."

A middle-aged man began to examine the masked men's weapons. You must have decided the weapon was poisoned.

"I don't have time. Find out what kind of poison you have later."

It's time for the sun to set to the west. As far as I'm concerned, it's time for the good boy's eight-year-old to go home.

"But I can't even detoxify not finding out what type of poison it is!

If you read the magic flow properly, regardless of what the type of poison is, you know how it works.

If I know how it works, I know what kind of detoxification magic to do.

I just want to explain that, but I don't have time.

Plus I want to get rid of the pain of the nine of you fast.

I called the nine people who were falling down on healing and detoxification magic at the same time.

The wound blocks and the blood stops as I look at it. It also improves complexion due to its detoxifying effect.

"Up to detoxification at the same time as recovery? And nine at the same time? I can't believe you used healing magic without touching your hand in the first place..."

"Practice and you'll be able to do it too"

"... I can do such a thing as my beloved Son of the Water God..."

The beloved son of the Water God. He's one of my disciples from my last life. I miss it.

Girls seem to have talent. I don't want to teach you anything.

But I don't have time for an eight-year-old. Just give advice.

"It depends on practice. He didn't even make it from the beginning."

"That guy?"

"No, it's nothing"

I almost slipped my mouth. You shouldn't have revealed that my last life was Edelfuss.

"Boy, how much help did you get from what? You're the benefactor of our lives."

"Don't worry about it. I just happened to be passing through."

"I'd love to thank you"

"There's no need for that. Then go home with care."

When I try to run out, the girl says in a panic.

"Wait! At least let me know your name."

"It's not enough to name it. Bye!"

And ignoring the voice to hold back, I ran toward the king's capital.
