The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

"It's not harmful. Anyway, to this guy, don't get your hands on Ruth. And stop doing what you're doing to this village. You don't have to do that anymore."

"No su, to revive my country, you don't have to collect energy first ha"

"No one wants the resurrection of that country anymore. On the contrary, there are no citizens to protect. Your role is over."

Cyrus throws up in a frustrating manner.

(Hey, I don't know what you're talking about... you mean we both know each other, right?

Ruth, who doesn't pinch his mouth at the serious state of the two of them, caught the general picture from the content of the conversation.

'War', which Cyrus had spoken of several times. Besides, the knight in black was also involved, and from the looks of it, the two were on his side.

But it's not a very friendly atmosphere right now. I can't seem to solve the problem by holding hands like this.

Without betraying Ruth's expectations, a knight in black, known as Zero, waves his head wide. They sound like machines, but they also have proper human movements.

"……… it's over. I don't have a dot. From now on su. We artificial soldiers ha, resurrect our motherland si, invincible troops that destroy other nations"

"The war is already over!

Silas suddenly turns to zero. The magic that had been secretly stored was unleashed, and countless blades of wind poured down to zero.

To Ruth, who closed his eyes to the momentum of a strong wind, a high sound of metal scraping rings - but the knight who came out after the magic subsided was almost intact, only slightly scraping his armor.

"Damn, to this extent. Can't you do the damage?"

"Oh, my God, it's t. Your Excellency is attacking us and so on... are you brainwashed?"

"You're the ones who are brainwashing!

Zero doesn't seem to have moved on Cyrus' scratch either.

Ruth pulls Bowman and Baron Bruton and leaves the place in a hurry, while confused by an inexplicable situation.

(Impossible, different levels)

I don't think Ruth will be able to get involved and figure it out for Cyrus, who unleashes all that sorcery, or Zero, who does nothing to prevent it. The only thing I can do is stay out of the way.

Ruth, who hid them from the ground, asked them how they were again.

Zero was shining behind his helmet when he trembled just a little bit. The purple light is similar in radiance to the green light that Orha was emitting.

"Once you have your neck back, your Excellency will be back to normal in the early days."

"I'm not kidding! It's up to me at the end of my life!

"For my country, Leitol, Ni!

A knight in black takes the sword that was along his waist and heads towards Cyrus. When Cyrus avoids the blow he unleashed while knocking down the surrounding trees, he now creates a sphere of flame in his opposite hand. Sorcery activated at close range, Cyrus built rock walls on the verge and held the explosion to a minimum.

"Kuh!"

But he gets blown away by a leaky shock. The trees in the place where the explosion occurred disappeared and there was a big hole in the ground.

"Mr. Cyrus!

Ruth rushed over and woke up Cyrus' body.

"Damn it... Ruth, stay back!

Cyrus shakes Ruth off, he runs out again. He swung his fist up as he wrapped a thunderbolt and struck zero.

Zero, who should have received heavy fists many times, but to the extent that he stopped a little, he grabs Cyrus' arm.

"!"

Silas, glaring at his face, unleashed wind magic and shook off his arm.

"Ah bu... Normal sorcery won't stand your teeth."

Cyrus' arm, grabbed by a knight in black, stood hot as it burned. When the smoke settled, the area of the clothes' arms disappeared and the skin became distorted. It's like being pressed into the grill.

"Don't do it for me. But how about this!

When Cyrus waves his arm, many small demonic squares appear around the zero, and the magic bursts towards the center. A fierce light and explosion sounded, flames and thunder pierced towards zero. It's daytime, but the surroundings feel dark enough. A spark leaking slightly from the enclosure of the Devil's Square hits a nearby tree, drilling a large hole in one shot. If it's Ruth, it's a power that doesn't seem strange when your body breaks down the moment you touch it.

(I knew Mr. Cyrus, too, wow......)

I understood the height of magic at the time of the doll's appearance, but now it exceeds it. It would have stuck with the villagers and the faithful because they were suppressing their power not to overdo it.

- But when the magic stopped, Zero moved out again. Even the explosion, which was so intense, didn't seem to have moved, and he walks straight here with a slight smoke out.

"The boulder... Leitol's artificial soldier, to this extent, is not even vicious."

A rough breath leaks out of Cyrus's mouth.

When I was out hunting with Ruth before, Cyrus blew Boreal away with one blow. I looked like I could afford it then. If that's how exhausting he must have been, how high-fired the surgery must have been right now. Yet Zero put up with it flat.

Ruth, who thought it was not a good idea as it was, rushed over to Cyrus, who wouldn't move out of the spot, pulling his arm.

"Mr. Cyrus, I can't do this like this. Let's pull it off once!

"Where did you pull it? There's no way he's gonna keep missing out on me more than he recognized me."

"But you can't win like this!

"Even if you don't seem to win, you have to! Can you let this guy go wild like this! You shut the fuck up!

Cyrus' voice was irritating. Ruth told me what I understood, so I guess I got angry. The yelling sound of even intimidation is a powerful combination of Cyrus' physique and atmosphere. Normally, even men talk.

Rossa, my father in this world, doesn't get angry like this. The figure, in one way or another, resembled that of a father in a previous life.

(But thanks to you, I'm used to it)

Thanks to my memory of being yelled at by my stern father dozens, hundreds of times, I have no fear for Ruth. I feel strong that it's something to lose.

"I know you can't! But if you fight like this and Mr. Cyrus dies, that's the end of the village! Do you think I can beat everyone in the village, even though it's a zero?

"But!"

"- But it's not! I know I have no choice but to fight! But you can't see the odds with the force push!

"Are you going to run to me!?

"So no! I'm not telling you to run, I'm telling you to pull a step back and figure out how you can win!

Ruth noticed that her language was broken as she exclaimed in a rough breath.

(Shit...... even though Mr. Cyrus is older...... I yelled at him as much as I wanted)

He's not usually so respectful, but he got emotional and flew a lot, mostly.

But Ruth's scream was good, and Cyrus, who had a harsh look on his face earlier, was a little frightened.

Ruth coughs lightly.

"Besides, if we keep fighting in this place, there will be enormous damage to the village as well. We're not talking about brainwashing anymore."

Ruth told me, Cyrus glanced around.

In the fight against zero, the neighborhood is a mess. I was following the Barons of Bruton to the mountains, so fortunately I haven't broken the house yet, but if the battle gets a little bigger, the attack could reach the crowds gathered in the square as well.

"Haa...... bad"

Cyrus sighed deeply as he held his head.

"Again, I almost did. You try to get into it without thinking. You see it hurt a few times, but you try to do it again and again because of your experience with deceptive victories. It's the critical phase that should have been cautious...... OK!

When Cyrus puts his hand over the knight in black, he causes the demon squares to appear at his feet. I thought it might be a range designation magic, but at the same time, the knight in black disappeared from sight.

"All right, now he's fallen deep underground. You can't climb up here that easy. Let's go."

"Ah, Yes."

Ruth takes Cyrus to a place away from the village. There are no houses in the middle of the mountain close to the dungeon, and even if there is some natural destruction because it is originally flickering, it seems to have little effect on the surroundings.

"Damn, you only had a little"

The ground shakes and Cyrus turns his back. Something like a tornado was made there. Trees and rocks blow up and head straight for the Ruths as they drill a big hole in the ground. It won't take long and you'll see him.

"Um, if you like, I'd like you to tell me, who's that zero?, what the..."

I thought I should hear it when it's all over, but I can't keep up with the two of them, and Ruth asks Cyrus about it.

But other than that, Cyrus thought a little and then snapped, "It's not a good idea to hide things."

"… that is an artificial soldier made out of the hands of someone who was in my country. It's not just a creature. It's part of the weapon that that little prick made for Leitol."

Cyrus threw up abominably, 'You kidding bastard'. He hates that opponent too much.

"Not all of this Genetianism thing is what he did, but it's because of that book they prepared when it came to brainwashing. That's the machine magic device they used“ to win peace without bleeding ”. For the resurrection of Leitol."

Cyrus, who speaks of the name 'Leitor', often has a sinister look.

(... the name, I heard - I've seen it. But that was a fiction novel, wasn't it?

A thick novel depicting a hero named Cyrus Drovandi. In that book, the protagonist Cyrus belonged to was the technological giant Leitor. That country had made a number of weapons that were not found in other countries, and even though the country was exhausted, it had attacked other countries.

(Does that mean?

In the history taught by the priest, neither the long war period depicted in the story existed, nor a country called Leitol. So I didn't doubt the story of "Cyrus Drovandi” because I believed it was fiction.

But from earlier on, watching the conversation between Cyrus and the knight in black, known as Zero, and their battle, Ruth didn't think it was just a fantasy story.
