Episode 9: Ice lurking in the darkness of the night

Night.

You will be waiting in the Krashel Adventurer Guild. There are a number of lodgings in town, but they are now liberated to receive those who have been evacuated.

I can't rest with many people. If I were alone over here, the women would be able to call me at any time, so I decided to rent a room and take the bed and sofa out of the toolbox and let them be forgiven.

I've got supplies for you.

Iris, who brought Mr. Louise back after having already made dinner easy.

"That was fast."

"I've been given a way to support you on the assumption of your skills. If it's true, I was supposed to give it to you tomorrow morning... but it looks like you got there faster than I expected."

Ms. Louise knows the skills that allow for long distances of short travel, such as [transfer (warp)] and [jump (jump)], as well as the [toolbox (item box)] that allows for the mass transport of supplies.

I suppose it would be foolish to have relief supplies and so on, even though we would not have the means to send them, but when it comes to transport we can deliver them safely without devoting any effort. I was just glad to make an inventory out of the stockpile I was putting to sleep in the back of the warehouse.

And as far as I'm concerned, as long as I got supplies, I didn't have a problem.

"It was helpful when it came to getting supplies. Just didn't Mr. Louise have to follow you?

"Atashi is in charge of this rescue."

Mr. Louise, who now serves the Alistair family.

The rescue is being carried out from the Alistair family to the Krashel family.

"It's just that Krashel is dangerous right now."

I didn't want you to come to a place like this.

"But it's also true that you're here to help."

……

I can't say anything back because I'm right.

"Will you come?

"Fine. That's why you're here."

Take Mr. Louise over the outer wall.

I have all my family on this occasion. Melissa and Iris have a job to do to keep the city warm, but nothing has to be done in the heart of the city.

"I'm the enemy."

Ice armor is moving regularly ahead of us.

The distance to the army is 200 meters. If you're going to reassure anyone in the city, you should keep the heat wave range a little longer. But the wider it is, the greater the burden on Iris.

So the heat wave range is kept to 200 meters outside the city.

"I see. That's very unusual."

Consent was obtained from Mr Louise.

After all, ice armor is not a demon.

"Hey."

Mr. Philip and Mr. Dalton showed up looking from above the outer wall.

"What is the master of the King's Adventurer Alliance doing here, huh?

"The only Atashi right now is a counselor who serves the Alistair family. As a rescuer, I was only given a peek because my enemies cared."

Mr. Louise's job is only to prepare relief supplies.

I haven't even been asked to confirm it was delivered.

"More than that, don't you guys notice?

"What..."

"Oh man. That's why you don't like the guy who left the front line. Apparently, it's pretty dull."

Two people, Mr. Phillip and Mr. Dalton, get angry and smaller.

He's just a little older than the whole season, Mr. Louise. Still, you just seem to be depressed to be noticed from younger because you two are completely older.

"Mars."

"Yes."

"I want a sample. I need one or two. Can you scratch it?"

"I'll take care of it"

Jump off the top of the outer wall.

The ice armor that sensed my presence from the shock sound when I landed looks at me simultaneously.

But I don't imitate it like it moves. Because I understand that if you step forward at all, you will be dissolved by heat.

Run through a distance of 200 meters at once.

It takes a few seconds to run at all costs. In the meantime, dozens of ice armor try to intercept with long spears in the front.

Gapless formation.

It is difficult to forcibly break through when you went from the front helplessly. That's how the other ice armor skewers while you stop your leg.

But my purpose is not to break through.

Thank you for your hard work.

Slip your body between the spear and the spear and grab your head.

The ice armor of what has been poked into the void sticks the spear out to where I am at the same time.

But unfortunately, the spear that sticks out never reaches me. It wasn't until I jumped back with the ice armor I was grabbing my head.

"I'm home."

Return to the outer wall with two ice armor in your hands.

He slams it in his hand and tries to attack it with a spear, so when he knocks it to the ground and takes out the disposable sword, he skewers his hands and feet so that he can't move.

"You got it?

Mr. Louise asks Mr. Phillip and Mr. Dalton again, but neither of us seem to understand.

"Melissa, melt it"

"Yes, sir."

A fire emanating from Melissa's hand melts the ice armor.

In an instant, it turns from ice to water, and a large water reservoir can be created.

"Don't you see?

"No..."

"Apparently, you're not thinking too much of an anomaly."

Indicate with a cane to see the water build-up spreading at your feet.

There's nothing there but water.

"... where's the demon stone?

That's right.

It was anomalous not to possess demonic stones that you have to have in your body if you just have water and a demon.

There is never a demon without a demon stone. But it's a demon with no entity, like the Ghost. If you have a solid flesh like ice armor, it's unlikely that the Demon Stone is not in your body.

It is conceivable from this fact that the ice armor is not a demon.

"... is that possible?

It's not a demon.

Still attacking me with definite hostility.

"They must be soldiers created from normal ice by magic or skill."

The only real ice armor was a soldier.

Didn't you notice in the first place?

"That's..."

I couldn't afford to be checking for demon stones while I was on the run.

I couldn't realise from afar that there were no demonic stones in the crushed ice because I was only attacking not to attach to the outer wall around the ranged attack during the interception in Krashel.

"This was the best we could do to intercept an enemy trying to mount it."

"But the Mars seemed to have noticed."

If you are a demon, you can seal your regenerative abilities by retrieving the Demon Stone.

But I couldn't find the demon stone in the middle of a run through the center of the ice armor. That's why I gave up on Demon Stone early.

"But..."

"Is that possible?

Still incredible, Mr. Dalton and Mr. Phillip.

The ice armor surrounding Krashel is comparable to tens of thousands. When someone is not only producing ice armor with magic and skills, but even manipulating it...

"I don't think that's possible for humans"

"It's impossible even for demons!

I didn't tell you during the meeting because I thought that kind of opinion would come up.

"That's right. I guess that means the enemy isn't a 'human' or a 'demon'."

"Such an opponent..."

Word swallowing two.

Being able to cause this many paranormal phenomena. Neither of us had ever met so we couldn't get the word out right away.

"The enemy is God."
