56 – 56. Joining

There is a saying that it is about hitting the drain.

In order to strengthen your resolve for the future, it means removing yourself from places to escape to.

That’s exactly what we are like now.

Of course, the heroines had no idea that I intended this.

The moment I recognized the situation where the front was the only open space, whether it was a tactic or not.

With no options left, they were able to accept reality surprisingly calmly.

“Once I sold it, it got dirty.”

“What can I do? I have to accept it.”

The two intercept the remaining spiders that were missed from the front and also cover us by blasting them with their fists.

And the massacre taking place in front of it

It was entirely the work of me and the saint.

Bang!

If anyone hears it, it is a feast of loud noises that will make them think they are moving forward by breaking through a blocked passage with Ohama.

However, the road has already been cleared.

The only thing that is exploding is a swarm of black spiders swarming on the floor and walls of the cave.

The dull sound that Paula swings,

The cool sound of my knife cutting is mixed together.

“Heh…”

Have we decided to put even the energy to scream in joy into our weapons?

A saintess of the church who advances only with a sigh that gives off a sense of healthy madness.

The narrow terrain and large number of monsters,

It was no exaggeration to say that he was her perfect partner.

“I’m happy….”

If you swing the mace to the left,

The spiders on the left explode and disappear.

The same goes for swinging to the right.

The following is only repeated.

As long as she meets ‘stimulation above a certain level’, she can maintain firepower close to infinite power,

With me, they were able to successfully deal with the waves of random mobs that came periodically.

After walking, smashing, intercepting, and advancing through the next wave.

We arrived.

“…Instructor.”

“Yes.”

“Among the materials you brought, is there a map here?”

Two holes. Two roads.

In other words, at a crossroads.

I stopped in front of him,

The footsteps of the other three stopped.

I thought for a moment.

‘Take this with you? Roll it up?’

Sub quest.

The eternal concern of gamers.

Of course I know which way to go from here to get to the boss room.

What I was hesitating about was whether to save one of the crew members stranded in the hole on the other side.

Usually, saving something helps somehow, but since this is a random mercenary, if you catch a strange guy, you can go back and troll him.

In the end, it was a battle of odds.

Being an optimist, she, the leader of the crew, could get caught.

Then the difficulty of defeating the boss will be greatly reduced.

As they stood like that, they also began to seek their own methods.

“It seems like you don’t know?”

“I think so. Then… Shouldn’t we just leave it to luck?”

The trio seemed to think I didn’t know the way.

“I’ll ask a question and come back!”

“What? To whom?”

“Arka! If you are looking down on me, you will surely answer my prayers-“

“Are you telling me a joke?”

“No, I’m just kidding…”

I realized that the occasional conversation had no nutritional value, so I closed my ears.

‘No matter who gets caught, it’s a one-time character, so it won’t help in future developments. Still, the more hands you have, the better….’

Okay, I decided.

“It’s on the left.”

“Oh, I guess you knew.”

“Then why did you waste so much time?”

“They will come back. Let’s move.”

We ran into the left road.

Paula frowns at the sudden decrease in the number of monsters, but steadily eliminates them.

I guess I ran for about three minutes.

I faced a crossroads again.

“Oh, there are no ant holes.”

Scarlett shakes her hands and makes a loud noise.

But this time too, the answer is fixed.

“Shh.”

When I gesture, the conversation stops.

As even the echoes disappear in the quiet cave, a regular sound is heard.

Seuuu-

“…”

A moment of silence. And repeat.

Seu-

When I heard the second sound,

Everyone could recognize it.

It is the sound of breathing.

In order not to be caught by the monster,

Evidence of life hidden to the point of shame.

I followed the sound.

Tad-dad-

The urgent steps sound like an echo,

In the end, we were able to reach a dead end.

Yes, a dead end.

Collapsed in front of him is a sub-quest reward.

I leave the heroines behind,

I walked closer and shined the lamp on his face.

Blue hair that is dirty, but still retains its shine. And iron armor.

From noble mtl dot com

The eyes that instinctively react to light and open.

But, she has weak eyes.

I asked with a cracked voice.

“Who….”

I answered. Also thought:

“It came from Russell.”

Heaven is helping.

After quenching her thirst with a water bottle from her pocket, she was able to speak slightly longer sentences.

“Ruschel…. Ah, you are the academy instructor.”

“Yes.”

“My name is Elin. “Of the imperial contingent-“

“I’ve introduced myself.”

I already know.

This is the best mercenary you can obtain in this subquest.

He was the leader of the troops dispatched here,

She is the only B rank holder.

I wonder if someone is not a knight,

I said this as soon as I came to my senses.

“All of our crews are captured by this guy. “It’s really shameless, but they-“

“Arka, my God, you’ve been passed out here for how many days?!”

Among the three people watching the situation from behind,

Paula runs up to her and touches her forehead.

The eyes of the knight named Elin also widened.

“Seo, saintess? Huh? “Why are you here-“

“I will pray for a moment. “Arka will ease your pain.”

“Does Arca feed you? “Don’t do anything useless, just feed me this.”

When three people came into the range of light emitted by the lamp,

She seemed to understand that I didn’t come alone.

“Two more instructors… ? Are you here for the purpose of subjugation, not exploration? How do you know… ?”

I misunderstood slightly.

Hope due to misunderstanding begins to flow into her voice.

“Anyway, it went really well. Please save our crew! “I will sacrifice my life to help you too.”

“No. “I am the only instructor.”

“Yes? Then they-“

I personally corrected her misunderstanding.

“These are my disciples.”

“Disciple… ? Student?”

I rolled my eyes like a broken person,

She is such a thoughtful person.

“You brought a student?!”

“Yes.”

“What nonsense have you done?!”

He jumps up, grabs my shoulder, and shakes me.

It’s powerful.

But there was no time to answer now.

Sasasasak-

The sound of a huge number of spiders is heard again from behind, covered in pitch black.

This cave became Arachne’s domain,

Her cubs followed us and arrived here.

“…It’s a bit much.”

It was just as Scarlett said.

To the extent that it is difficult to tell whether the blackened side is pitch black or the shell of a monster.

This is not a chance to reinforce power,

Because it is a sub ‘quest’.

If you wanted to take this B-class female knight, it was a gateway you had to go through.

It is well worth it.

The ability to do so was abundant.

Only the driver in front of me doesn’t know that fact.

“Oh, what should I do? Students need to survive… !”

Leaving behind her, who had already prepared for her death,

I turned around and took a couple of steps forward.

“…Instructor? What are you doing?”

And in the middle of it all,

She opened her left hand.

“Blood system.”

aaah!

A red barrier unfolds immediately.

At the same time, the spiders collide with him.

Thanks to the narrow terrain,

The highest quality defense shield is completely blocked.

Crispy!

The charging guys were completely blocked.

Where is that? Blocked by a wall that suddenly formed, I saw the bodies of the spiders in front being crushed, unable to withstand the weight of those following them.

Nevertheless, there is not even a scratch on the barrier.

It was safe to say that this was a different world from the outside.

I turned around, approached the female knight who couldn’t keep her mouth shut, and squatted down.

First of all, the most important thing is to make people understand.

“I will explain briefly.”

The instructor in front of me explained.

There is no exit,

We plan to catch Arachne,

Please help too.

It was simple and clear,

It was enough to drive her half crazy.

“Are you out of your mind now? “You’re going to take three students and catch a Class A monster?”

“Is there a problem?”

“There is nothing but trouble! “What do you think of human life?!”

No matter how much you accompany an instructor,

I am a student. Even first year students.

She knew very well how inadequate the level was.

Elin also graduated from Russell.

They are their seniors,

That instructor seemed to have no hesitation in treating his students as mere members.

I felt it instinctively.

That he is crazy.

His skills were definitely outstanding.

It is not something that anyone, even an instructor, can do to completely block a swarm of spiders that are about to explode with just that thin shield.

Specialized in defense. One of the most talented people among them.

However, I couldn’t trust him and have the confidence to cross the line of fire with girls who were about his junior age.

So, I gritted my teeth.

“…Let’s find another exit. “Now that a student has come in, the urgent priority is escape, not subjugation.”

The crew members who saved his life flashed before his eyes.

Given the nature of Arachne, the crew would not have been wiped out.

Rather, most of them are still alive, tied up in cocoons made of spider webs, waiting to die.

If that instructor was alone,

I would have risked my life to save them.

For now it’s just,

Just covering up the guilt with responsibility.

However, despite her noble determination,

The instructor sighs, as if laughing at that.

“Scarlett, you try to convince me.”

“Me? “Are you okay?”

“Sometimes that method is necessary.”

The red-haired girl squatted down in front of Elin as if she had been waiting.

I felt so sorry.

She was dragged in by the man in front of her, sacrificed to build up her performance, and pushed to the firing line.

“It’s okay. Whatever that instructor says, don’t listen to it. “Just thinking about getting out of here-“

Sigh!

“A billion!”

I hit Elin on the back of the head.

In an instant, the world spins and sparkles slightly.

I even burst into tears.

“What are you doing-“

“Now, the lady with the iron plate. “We are not here to persuade or ask for favors.”

A cool and creepy voice.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t an atmosphere that a girl of that age would expect.

It was really awkward to express it this way, but

I thought he was a gangster.

However,

She doesn’t give you any time to be confused.

“Follow me, or die here. “Choose.”

“…”

Elin thought.

As she looked back and forth between the instructor and the thug in front of her, she felt certain.

They look alike.
