Monster no Goshujin-sama

16. Pioneering Village Tragedy

Sixteen.

"hey... but?

A cracked voice shook my throat.

I don't understand.

Brain miso rejects the reality in front of you, creating a void in your thoughts.

... diverse, I suppose.

If a monster is attacking a village, then there should be some kind of immediate movement if you are going to help and decide there is nothing more you can do to abandon it.

That is the mindset of those who live in this world.

Yet I was completely stiff.

It was attacking the villagers because they weren't monsters.

Men in armor had their swords pointed at the villagers.

When the merciless sword was waved, people fell as easily as a joke.

The fallen villagers will never rise again.

The sight of several villagers rolling on the ground as such was poorly done geo-lamage and somewhere lacking in realism.

What the hell is going on?

Who is that armed group and why are the villagers under attack?

I tried to grasp what was happening in front of me.

I was able to do so instantly because I had previous experience of crawling through the training grounds.

But I still saw something unexpected, and I guess I was upset.

Before that, I couldn't turn my head until I had a problem to deal with first.

"Ah, ah..."

I was annoyed by the signs of getting up next door.

Behind the brain, Salvia's ringing alarm passes.

Silan, an undead monster, is in danger of falling into a runaway state, like a ghoul, by virtue of his mental state.

For example, what is the current situation….

"Oh, oh..."

A chilling groan licked his earlobes.

In a hurry, I turn my gaze around.

There, there was one ghoul.

"Ahhh..."

Now Silan is Demi Rich.

Or you could say Demi Ghoul.

Between Rich, who has a high intelligence, and Ghoul, who has no reason, she is very unstable.

The balance is constantly fluttering.

"Haaaaaa!

The moment it leaned to a breath, with an unreasonable scream, Silan was popping out like a bullet.

"Wait, Syrah...... ugh"

An outstretched hand cut off the universe.

"Quick...... Huh!?

Eyes open in amazement.

Not very much, but it was not the speed of those who were weakening their bodies.

Down on the ground, Silan rushed out with the momentum as it stood.

Soon, its appearance will be smaller.

We're going to the village.

"I'll go after him!

Rose, who was outside the car, kicked the ground to escort Mr. Helena and the others.

"Wait!"

I stood up to her.

Rose with her legs together looks back at this one.

"Your husband...?

"Don't go alone!

Anyway, that speed, if we can catch him before we get to the village.

Obviously his legs are faster than Rose's and he won't be able to catch them.

We must avoid any more far-fetched actions than we do not know what is happening in the village.

"... eh"

Make appropriate decisions to distinguish between those to be truncated and those not.

I bit my lip only for a moment.

But we don't have time to get lost.

He immediately turned himself over and held up a covered cloth hiding the interior of the car.

Ignoring the large swing of a car that has lost its maneuver, it enters the car.

My gaze gathered.

"Your husband! Your voice is..."

"The village is being attacked by people!

I cried out, blocking Lily's voice, which I had asked.

"Seeing that, a rampant silane popped up and went!

"Oh no...!

Lily, who understood the situation, was stunned.

"I don't know the situation, but I can't leave Silan like this"

As soon as the arrows had passed, I gave instructions.

"Lily! And, Gabella! Come with me!

"Concubine too!?

Garbera looked surprised.

I nodded and gave a quick and minimal explanation.

"Silan is flying in reason right now. Worst case scenario, I might have to hold it down. We should go with maximum force than we know the power of an unidentified enemy."

There are a few things we know about the armed groups that are attacking the village.

From what I've seen, the armed groups seemed to be wearing matching armor.

Some soldier, or more likely a knight.

I don't know until I belong because it was an armor of a design I've never seen before, but I'm pretty sure I have regular combat training.

Besides, it's unclear how many there might be.

It is possible that I or Rose, who can get out in public, will not be able to handle it.

One to an armed group attacking the village.

Alone in a runaway silane.

In case anything should happen, I decided that I should be able to hold Gabella and Lily in my family with the strongest class power.

... Of course, I know.

Taking Gabella means exposing ourselves.

That will have a huge impact on our future.

Worst case scenario, you won't be able to stay on this land and it could be a departure from scratch.

But the most important thing for me is that my people are safe.

I didn't mean to give it the wrong priority.

"Everyone else stay hidden until we get back. Rose, stop, Robbie, stay and escort."

"I... eh"

Robbie said something with a disgruntled face, but when he met me, he bent his lips and nodded.

"... if Takahiro says so"

"Good girl."

As soon as I brutally stroked my redhead, I left the car.

When I went outside, I didn't see Silan anymore.

Instructions were given as quickly as possible.

I would have just said twenty seconds or so at most since Silan popped up.

Gabella ran out with me, and Lily followed it.

These two combinations have fast legs.

I chose them not just in case, but as a result of my consideration of speed.

However, even those two couldn't catch up with Silan until we got to the village.

The prediction was made.

Because the speed of the flying silane was too fast.

Silan was regarded as the best knight in the northern realm of the Tree Sea.

At least, among those who were fighting in the northern realm of the Tree Sea, he was definitely the owner of the most powerful class of combat abilities.

However, that is a state of full force… when there was the aid of the four Spirits.

The reinforced magic boost used by the Spirit allowed her for the first time to demonstrate her physical ability to just slash and tie a cheat against her from the top.

But now that she has lost her reason, she is not assisted by the Spirit.

The fact that you showed all that movement with it is obvious that as a ghoul - you are demonstrating your physical ability as a monster.

But there is one 'big problem' with that...

"We're here!

We reached the fence surrounding the village.

There is no such thing as a security villager on top of a lookout.

Instead, two men were down in front of the gate.

I'm not a villager. You must be the thief who attacked the village.

One had his neck dropped and one had a deep wound to his shoulder.

Looks like Silan arrived here and slashed it away.

They had a short and intense battle, and there was a frightening amount of blood scattered around them.

For a moment running by it, I run my gaze into my blood-swet gear.

"... a lot more splendid"

Not at the level of the village vigilante, dressed in matching gear.

Unified equipment. That's superior, too.

It's just a thief, isn't it?

It seemed more natural to think of it as belonging to some military subordinate, or the Knights.

Really, who is it?

Speaking of military in this country, where the Knights of the Patriots and the Akel National Army are famous, it is hard to imagine that they, working to defend the country, will attack villagers who are subjects.

So, is it an army from another country?

But if you do that, you'll be at war with Akel.

I have heard before that even a great nobleman like the Macrolin Borderline Uncle would be ruined if he scattered a spark of strife without darkness.

Because what the hell...?

And, as we think about it, the Gerberas keep moving.

The gate was closed, so we cross the wall and break into the village.

In most pioneering villages, the expansion of the village is carried out by pioneering, and walls are stretched multiple times.

Nor did this village leak into the example, and the walls were doubled.

When you cross the outer barrier, there's a field spread out there.

At this point, Garbera, who at first glance could tell it was a monster, was not surprised to be attacked by the villagers he encountered, mistakenly for a monster raid.

Even though it snorts without bitterness, Gabella was also on guard.

But they never attacked me.

In the first place, there were no signs of people in the sprawling fields.

Speaking of which, there was no one in the field earlier when I overlooked the village.

Gabella, who holds me, and Lily, who follows me in the meantime, runs through a deserted path.

Along the way, I heard a whistle.

Is that some kind of signal? I don't know, but pull yourself together.

I had just reached the inner barrier and heard a noise across the wall.

A lot of anger. Scream. And the roar of the deceased.

It's Silan.

Garbera used the spider's yarn to jump on a high fence.

Looking from the top of the wall, a little further away, there was a figure of Silan slamming his sword on the enemy.

"Huh!

"Yikes!?

A powerful hanging blow plays the enemy's sword.

The knocked sword made him pull his armor and bury it deep in his torso.

A sword that should have been forged to protect people was stained red in man's blood.

On the spot, two other bodies wearing armor are rolling.

This would be at Silan's disposal.

And besides that, many other people had fallen.

This one's not wearing armor, and he doesn't have a weapon.

It was the villagers who were the victims of the raiders.

As far as I can see, ten or more.

If the same thing is happening elsewhere, how many victims are there?

The raging Siran roar, or, perhaps, their thoughtless proxy for being killed.

"Damn. Aah!

As we pulled out the stabbed sword by kicking the body, the naval eye searched for the next target.

There were raiders forming a formation with shields.

Between making the three sacrifices, they put themselves in shape.

Six in the avant-garde, eight in the rear.

From the rear guard, signs of increasing magic were felt.

Apparently they're trying to use magic.

"There's no panic! Take it easy and deal with it!

One of the guards raised his voice.

Is that the commander?

It was at the same time that Garbera tried to get off the wall and run out, and Silan moved out.

"but ahhhhhh!

With a running scream of fear, Siran ran into the men.

Soon, the distance was clogged.

"Not yet!"

Along with the Commander's instructions, enemy guards deployed their magic formations.

Clear light enveloped a wide range of ground.

It was like a phenomenon that didn't feel aggressive.

But it seemed different to Silan.

"Huh!? but ahhh......"

Silan leaked a bitter chirp.

In her former battle with the Cross, she was suffering somehow, no matter how much she was hurt, she shouldn't have even cared.

But the rampage never stopped her legs.

While blunting his movements, he fleshes to his enemies and waves his sword with violent momentum.

"Haaaah!

sounded so deaf that the sword clashed against the shield.

The attacked man's posture collapsed dramatically.

But that's all.

Remarkably, the man tried to take Silan's attack.

Immediately, one of the avant-gardes moved to his buddy's cover.

So Silan loses his chance to chase.

On the contrary, the remaining avant-garde went out to fight back.

Although Silan avoided one sword, that disfigured him.

Nearly losing his neck to another blow, Siran turned his sword to defense.

Even if his posture is broken, Silan's strength in Ghoul's state is not concomitant.

"but...... Huh!?

It's supposed to be, but the defensive Silan's body has been snapped down behind his back.

Unexpectedly, I beheld.

"Stupid......"

The Raiders bounced off a ghoul-state Siran attack.

I don't mean most of the time.

Seeing an enemy trying to pursue him further, Silan rolled with momentum and bounced back wide.

Re-division.

Attempt to strike again.

But that's where Silan's posture collapsed dramatically.

"But ah...?

On the contrary, my knees are crushed and my hands are on the ground.

Soon I could have guessed what happened.

Because this was a predictable situation.

"Damn, you're out of magic......!

The current amount of Siran's magic was originally low.

Until just now, Silan was only giving an explosive force by squeezing that little magic all at once.

In other words, a flash of burning.

That can't last.

Did Silan even lose the minimum amount of magic necessary for his normal activities, and he fell straight to the front.

Such a big gap couldn't have been missed.

"It's your chance! Retain!"

The raiders try to pack it up.

"Let it be!

I freed the magic I had been knitting up during my pursuit.

"" Misty Vault "- Huh!

Looks like the men noticed this way, but it's late.

A thick mist sprayed from my body enveloped the surrounding area.

"Is this... Huh!? All hands, stand back!

You're on guard, the men are retreating.

Here's your chance.

"Go!"

"Summer!"

Following my instructions, Asarina jumped out of the cage.

A long stretched body of crawl retrieves the fallen body of silane.

"Okay."

I pulled her body as it was, and when I held her down, I lowered her to the ground.

"Are you all right!?

Calling, but Silan doesn't move like a real corpse.

I'm completely out of my mind.

Although we know the cause of the lack of magic, there is nothing we can do here.

Having secured Silan's condition, I turned my consciousness to the Raiders.

"... what, these guys?

Unexpectedly, my voice leaked.

The magic 'Misty Vault' is not just a nightmare.

It is also sensory magic that obtains information on the range wrapped in fog.

Accuracy is based on the density of fog, which is now reduced to about 40% of all efforts, but it is nevertheless possible to obtain a considerable amount of information.

The feeling tells me.

The soft light that surrounds the ground from earlier is the magic of weakening that inhibits the movement of Silan, the undead monster.

And the enemy's avant-garde had reinforced magic that raised his physical abilities.

Yes, Siran lost the attack earlier, not only because of his avant-garde combat capability and collaboration, but also because of his support for weakened and enhanced magic by the rear guard.

There are not so many humans who can use even just magic. This world, that magic of hands that is difficult to use, is very few humans who are mastering it.

There are only so many people who can use Weakened Magic and Enhanced Magic, and using them in mass warfare is something that even those Knights of the Alliance didn't do.

Really, who is it?

I don't know, but it's definitely a nasty enemy.

I further revised the threat I had estimated to the fullest extent.

He noticed a fog, and other fellow enemies scattered all over the village are gathering here.

If you get yourself in shape, it's a hassle.

Crush it here.

"Gabella!"

Without hesitation, I put in maximum strength.

"Aye, okay!

Put me down on the ground, and Gabella leaped.

Weakening magic is definitely a threat, but that doesn't work if there's a difference in my magic power.

I can only use as much magic as I can cheat to weaken the strongest white spider opponent in the Tree Sea.

If you're that many enemies, you're not Garbera's enemies if there's no weakening conditions.

That was supposed to happen.

"... Huh!?

Unexpectedly, I had a chill.

The ability to detect fog alarmed one of the enemies.

It's the man who was giving instructions to the group.

Something's wrong.

I felt that way - on the verge of trying to encourage vigilance, the man's eyes glowed demonically.

"Gu!?

Garbera, who was about to make an assault, gave a short scream.

Interrupting the attack, she flies back and forth.

He jumped several times and came back to where we were.

"What have you done...?

A trembling voice rose.

"Gabella? What..."

I lost my word when I peered into Gabella's face, who also asked Dewy about my vigilance.

From Gabella's white neck to her cheeks, a tattooed purple text appeared.

The text also followed the body, and it was found that interference by magic was taking place in Gabella's body.

"The Magic of Weakening...?

There is a terrible load all over the body, inhibiting the flow of magic in the body.

If you're an average person, it doesn't seem strange that you're just dead...

"... no"

Is this really, is it the magic of weakening?

If it is strange that there was no accumulation of magic that should have been necessary for the exercise of high-altitude magic, the potency that also prevailed on Gabella could only be described as cod.

Now it's like...

"... you, what?

Among the men who retreated, I gazed at the man who did 'something' to Gabella.

He's a good brown-haired man with a habit.

He wraps his slender but well-forged body in the same heavy armor as the others.

"Oh, my God, that's rude"

Reminds me of a poet, a sweet voice.

But the malice contained there was ruining everything.

"My name is Travis."

Only the shape had an elegant grin, and the man named himself.

"The Cathedral Knights, Captain Travis-Mortimer of Unit IV. A knight who has fallen to Ghoul."
