Episode 22: Paradise over and over * 6

"The Knight of the King's Guard is not enough! Let's go!"

Faye said so, and immediately sent all the Red Dragons and the Fire Spirits to the monster herd.

Laocles rode straight into the herd of monsters on Alicorn.

Once again, observe.

... the royal carriage is riding, well, perhaps, king.There are a few royal castle knights escorting carriages, but they are losing to the monsters.

Yes. There are many monsters trying to attack the carriage.

There are not ten or twenty monsters there.From small to large... each one seems to be targeting the king's carriage.The Knights of the Royal Castle seem to be doing their best to get rid of it.

But the state of the war will change. Because our Gypsum Statue, Laocles, attacked us!

"Fall back!"

As Laocles stuck to the herd of monsters, screaming, the monsters panicked for an instant to clear the way.

... no, because it's a plaster statue on Alicorn.If that kind of thing keeps clinging to you at an incredible speed, then you're going to retreat.If you get hit by accident, you'll see it's a big accident.

When Laocles splits the monster herd, he turns Alicorn U and immediately runs back toward the monster.I ran through them with my sword and finally took down the monster who was about to approach the carriage.

"If you run, I won't chase you!Come on, get out of here! "

In addition, Faye followed the Red Dragon and the Fire Spirits, and stood in the middle of a herd of monsters... right next to the carriage.

The red dragon barks.And the thunderbolt and scarlet eyes looked down at the monsters, and the monsters were afraid of it.

The monsters leave the carriage.Protecting the carriage is a red dragon that embodies sparkling bright fire and strength.And it's a royal fake.Look, I think I realized my disadvantage.The monsters gradually twitched and retreated...

... but I heard something like a voice.

Voice... no, it wasn't a sound, but I did feel it.When you feel it, something that doesn't sound like a tingling reaction, but conveys air.That kind of thing runs through the air.

Suddenly, the monsters who were twitching and retreating burst into tears... and stuck on the spot.Without retreating any further, stand still and look at Fay and his men.

I know it's not good.Fei's Summoners are strong, but they are outnumbered.If the monsters, who had just retreated once and for all, were to attack again... Fay would be in danger.

"Please, help me!"

That's why I'm joining forces.

Phoenix is already carrying me, so I'll have the tube fox come out first... and then the monsters who joined me yesterday.A dog with three necks, a two-legged cow, and Halpura.

... as soon as I called them, they held onto the monsters attacking the king with great momentum. Wow. Motivated.

Then... there was a disturbance in the enemy's movements.

The voices of monsters such as yah, yah, yah, yah.A little puzzled voice, I'm sure... I wonder what the confusion is about the fellow who was until yesterday becoming the child of the forest.

And without being confused, my monsters kicked the monsters surrounding the carriage.In doing so, Fay and the others have regained momentum and started moving the monsters away from the carriage, and Laocles has managed to successfully contain the monsters.

... and...

"Nh, what... what the hell..."

"Hello, King. This way."

The king was dragged out of the carriage by a huge tube fox.I will protect the king who comes out.

"What the hell is this...? Why is there a monster here...?"

While stroking the tube fox that brought me the king, the tube fox burst into my sleeve cheerfully.Stop it, stop it, it tickles.

Now that the king is safely protected, I will retreat to the forest. [M]Faye and Laocles retreat with the remaining Knights of the Castle.

You'll be fine as long as you run into the woods.I know monsters can't get to the border.I dragged the panic king closer to the border...

Phew, your blood flies.

There is something warm on my cheek. [M]

... and the king I was dragging had his neck cut open.

By the scythe that stretches out of the shadows.

"King!"

"Ah... ahh... ahh"

The king, whose neck was cut open and bleeding, merely moved his hands and feet small without meaning, even if he called.Because it was more panic than before, it seemed like I couldn't expect any real reason anymore.

"Corn!... damn it!"

Faye called me and flew right to me.And when Fay takes the dagger out of his pocket, he puts it in the shadow of the king.

Gyu, I heard such a scream.At the same time, from the shadow of the king, something like melting and black blood comes out.No, what is this?

"... did you let him go?"

"Fei, that was...."

"I don't know. Probably the same kind as the guy I saw before.Was it the devil's messenger?I stabbed her, but she didn't feel that good.Maybe he's still out there. "

Faye looked around without hesitation, and then saw the king, the two of them.

... the king's neck is being cut open and he's bleeding.I realized that the blood was flowing more and more and that it would be dangerous if I left it alone.

"Anyway, heal the king's wounds! Can you do it?"

"I'll try."

That's why I'm going to start drawing the King with my paintings.With no scratches, the blood color is good... such a painting.

"... damn it, where are you coming from?"

While I was painting, Faye was constantly looking around and watching out for the shadow.

Eventually, Laocles, who had caught up with us, began to retreat toward the border, watching carefully.

Yes, we're almost there. We're almost there.Once inside the border, monsters who are not forest children can be shut out there.First of all, I just need to get inside the boundaries...

"Wow, shit."

This time, the blood flew out of Faye's cheeks.It seems that Fay leaned his neck aggressively to avoid serious injuries, but still, the red line running on my cheeks upset me.

"Fay"

"Corn, concentrate on the painting!We're fine! "

That's what Faye says, so I'll focus on the king's painting again.Even Faye is dangerous, but even the king will die if he doesn't hurry.Whatever happens to the King's life, I'm connected. [M]If this man dies, someone will be sad.

... and while Faye and Laocles are fighting, I'll draw the king and heal his neck as I retreat.

Somehow, it worked. Well done. Good.

... thank Princess Large. Had it not been for the scene when the King was playing Dafu, I would not have painted the King so much before, and thanks to that, I could have painted the King quickly and cured him now.

It's healed!

"Alright, then retreat!"

Fay managed to retreat the scythe that came out of the shadows with a dagger and ran away in a hurry.The Fire Spirit and Red Dragon form walls to help Faye retreat.

"I'll take care of you! You guys go first!"

Laocles runs away from the Knights of the Castle and the soldiers of our walls and comes to the rear.I had the king carried by three dogs on my neck, and I had the phoenix carry me myself and managed to retreat.

"Dammit, if it wasn't for that one coming out of the shadow, it wouldn't matter...."

Fei said so with remorse while being carried by the fire spirit.Well, I think it would be enough to be able to retreat in the meantime... Sure, if you were thinking about the future, maybe you should have done away with the Shadow Scythe here.

Anyway, now it's a precondition for everyone, including the King, to evacuate to the border.We all jumped deeper and deeper into the border... and retreated safely!

Apparently, we were able to stop the King's assassination.Outside the border, the monsters are coming towards us, but we can keep an eye on it for a while...

There was a chirp and a sound, and the boundaries played monsters.

Are the monsters playing scared to flee, or will they grow up staring at us while trembling? That's what I think.

"Wow, is this what happens to a guy who gets hit by a border?"

"Fei. Wait. Don't try to be played.It's no good, because Fay doesn't play when he touches the border. "

Fay sees the boundary working and looks at it with interest, but now it's not.

"Well, in the meantime, can you handle this?It's a little troublesome to keep being surrounded by monsters like this.... "

"If the monster touches the border, it seems that he will lose his will, so I think we should wait for it.You don't have to fight. "

For the time being, I think it's okay to take a break.I'm not out of my mind, but that's all.

I think it's best to leave the rest to the juncture of the forest and wait for the monsters to lose their wars.It is not good to get out bad and get injured.In the first place, Faye is already injured.

"Hey, Fay, you're hurt here."

I point out Faye's injuries, which I've always been concerned about.

"Hmm? Ah... just been cut?"

Then Faye touched the area around her cheeks, and then looked at the blood sticking to her fingers, and groaned.

"Wow, I've been feeling a little tingling till now, but once I'm conscious, it's going to hurt...."

Yeah, I know. When I see an injury, it hurts too much.And it doesn't hurt that much when you're excited.It's common for me to cut my fingers with paper, but it doesn't hurt while I'm drawing.Wonderful. When you're finished drawing and resting, it hurts.

I'll cure you.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

I can draw as many faces as I want.The tone is also tight.

Then not only Faye, but the injuries of other people were healed.Everyone seems to have suffered minor injuries.

"Still...."

Faye looks back and forth as she wipes her healed cheeks with a handkerchief to shed blood.There is a king there who looks completely relaxed.

"Was the monster after the king?"

"It seemed to be one of my goals, but...."

Rather than attacking this raid or the woods, it looks like you wanted to attack the king.It just happened to be near the woods.

"You wanted to kill the King... no"

Fay murmured with a slightly steep expression.

"When the King was no longer a monster, there was someone who came out of the shadows."

Yeah, there it is.

As I nodded as I remembered... Fei said.

"He said... 'I'll take the blood of the brave'."

Fay looks beyond the boundary.

Where the defenses were... where the King cut his neck and bled.

"Blood... was your aim?"

I'll take a look around with Fay.

... but strangely enough, there was no blood there anymore.

Did it soak in the dirt, or...?

... at that time.

"... eh?"

I feel like I heard something, and I look back.But it's not like there's someone behind it.

"Corn? What's wrong?"

"Yeah... I think I heard something."

Faye didn't hear anything in particular and leaned her neck.I thought it was strange, but I looked around...

"... nnh"

The tingling hurts my body. Tingling pain and then a fever.

I wonder, soon the fever and pain will spread.

"Oh, hey, Corn?"

"I don't know... it's kind of hot and painful"

I don't know what it is, and I can't explain it well, but I can only trouble my body. [M]

Faye and Laocles are worried, but I don't know what to do...

... and...

Got it. I got it!

Next time you hear my voice, I feel calm. [M]People around me don't seem to hear it, but they realize that there is a magically sensitive skin facade, and it's bothering me.

Now is the time to break the seal!

Even lower and thicker, the voice continues to shake the earth... at the same time.

I heard a noise from behind.

"And corn! You have wings...!"

As I listen to Fay's voice from afar... I look back and see the definite abnormality in my back.

... the wings were on fire.
