Volume 9, Chapter 1: The Demon King Army, Invasion – Part 8
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Headed towards the collapsed west gate, several Demonic Beings and Demonic Beasts came running.
「Hiーgyaーhaー!!」
The Fortress City Faltra was in danger of falling.
Wrapped up in the collapse of the west gate, the garrison soldiers fell into chaos. Some ran away, while others fell into a stupor.
Now was the time for Adventurers to take the stage!
Emil carried his large sword on his shoulder, and stepped into the west gate plaza. Both the once splendid west gate and the rampart had all turned into rubble.
「Oーoー, you’ve all gone and done something quite flashy, haven’t youー」
The barrier meant to defend against the charging Demonic Beings, was no longer there. The town was in a defenseless situation.
His companions called out to him.
「E, Emil, what will you do? Against something like that……」
It was the Healer wearing a white robe, Churon. In addition, along with Elastov who was proficient at enchanting and strengthening weapons, his four party members were there.
Emil waved one hand.
「I’ll win! It’s because there is no other choice than that. The barrier has vanished, there is a great number of women in the town, and the Demon King army is approaching. And finally, my great self’s name is Emil Byushelbeljel, the guardian of all women!」
The young Healer boy, Churon, curved his mouth.
「Fufu……In your tour around the countries, you’ve polished your stupidity, haven’t you.」
「It isn’t stupidity, you know!?」
The male Enchanter, Elastov, shrugged his shoulders.
「……Certainly, it does not seem like a wise decision, but we have no choice but to do it……Sitting around waiting to die just doesn’t suit him.」
When he swung his staff, all of the party members’ equipment were endowed with magic. Their offensive and defensive abilities were strengthened three-fold.
The Warrior who possessed a gigantic shield in place of a weapon, Glutas, went to the front. He was a companion with the Class called 《Blocker》.
「Yosha! Let’s do this! We are the new generation of Heroes!」
「Yeah, we will, protect this town!」
Even the male Archer, Yuan, was in high spirits.
Emil’s group stepped onto the rubble, and gazed outside the rampart.
Heat still remained in the ground, and even though they were wearing leather shoes, it felt as if the soles of their feet would be burned.
From behind them, yet another group had come──
「Fumu……To think that there were Adventurers that didn’t run away……」
「Mu?」
Emil turned around.
The ones that appeared were Local Knights. They surpassed 100 people.
The one standing at the lead was the Feudal Lord Galford.
「Hou, so it was you……Your name, if I’m not mistaken……」
About two months ago, Emil received instruction on the sword from him. He had the impression of being an uninvited disciple though.
「Hmph……My name is──」
「Emil Byushelbeljel was it. Did you meet with the Master Swordsman?」
*Zawah* The Adventurers became noisy.
──He remembers my name!?
Emil puffed up with pride.
「Yes I did! I had been taught the Master Swordsman’s serious slash through this body of mine. Thanks to that, I have been reborn.」
「Fumu……So you can somehow be counted in our numbers.」
The Local Knights shrank back, and their line was split to the left and right.
The one that appeared, was a beautiful woman who seemed to have an air of allure. Her scarlet hair gathered behind her, she wore deep red armor.
「Move aside……If you obstruct my way, I shall shoot through your body as well, got it?」
It was Farnis Lamnites. She had a gigantic Magi Gun at the ready.
The gun point was pointed towards Emil.
「Wh, what do you plan on doing!?」
「I told you to move. They are already within my range.」
「What!?」
The Demon King army was charging in. It was a distance where the heads of the leads still were not clear, but if that’s what she said, then it must be true.
Lamnites’s skill as a Magi Gunner was famous to the point that there was no one who didn’t know about it.
Emil’s group opened the way in front of her.
She pulled the trigger.
*Bas! Bas! Bas!* Sounds that seemed to pass through the air resounded.
Even if it were a large-sized Demonic Beast, if fired from this distance, how much power would there be──Emil was half in doubt.
Even if each attack had the power to bring certain death, the charging Demon King army had a vanguard of more than 200. Defeating just one or two of them would just be……
An explosion happened.
「What!?」
Black smoke that went higher than the ramparts rose up.
Several Demonic Beings were launched up without keeping their original shapes, and turned into particles of light and vanished faster than they could fall to the ground.
That happened in three places.
After a while, the shock wave came. It was that far. It was a distance that would take about ten minutes if one were to walk it.
Even his Adventurer companions raised voices of surprise.
「Wh, what was that……just now!?」「That’s just unbelievable, isn’t it!?」「Didn’t that just take out about 30 of them!?」
To Emil, rather than the bullet exploding, it looked like something underground had exploded.
「Could it be, did you set something up?」
「Fufu……You are surprisingly sharp, aren’t you. As expected of a man that Lord Galford had kept an eye on.」
Lamnites smiled pleasantly while keeping her Magi Gun at the ready.
Galford shook his head left and right looking reluctant.
「I hold no expectations for Adventurers.」
「But you practiced with him almost every day, didn’t you?」
「Since he wormed his way into my early morning training, I merely beat him away.」
「And that made you go out of your way to personally get your dull sword meant for training use without ordering a subordinate to get it?」
While teasing the man who was thirty years older than her, she once again fired her Magi Gun.
Another explosion occurred.
「You were called Emil, were you not……Just as you surmised, mechanisms were placed on the western bank of the city gates.」
While still keeping her gun at the ready, Lamnites said that.
「Is that possible!?」
「Eventually, the state of the battle will change. However, right now, it is just a bluff.」
Galford nodded.
「A battle against the Demon King army, to sum it up, is whether or not the Demon King is defeated……It will come to an end with that.」
「Hmph……For the Demon King army, they surely do not wish to pointlessly lose too many troops. If this castle does not fall easily, then the strong ones should come out.」
Just as the two of them said, the Demonic Beings that were coming towards the west gate stopped.
They became quiet.
It felt like even the sound of the wind blowing could be heard.
Stepping on the soil, there was someone who came walking this way.
