Madman in a Fantasy World

124. raid start

A week passed by. It was the day of the raid.

-Kikkik…

The rusty iron door that had not been used for a long time opened with a creak. At the same time, the elf opened the door and said.

“Come out. Release.”

The person who came out of the prison was a red-haired man. As soon as he got out of prison, the man stretched his arms outstretched in a sense of liberation.

“Arthur!”

“Mr. Arthur!”

When Arthur came out of prison, the waiting heroines greeted him. They immediately clung to Arthur and worried about all sorts of things, asking if he was hurt or not lonely. Arthur responded with a smile and was in a good mood.

“I’m fine.”

Being worried about pretty girls like this is only possible because it is a novel. If you think about it that way, being in prison wasn’t bad. Except for the fact that the bed is a bit cold, and that meals are only grassed every day.

Tia and Stella also came to see me every day, so I wasn’t lonely. Arthur was able to get out of prison safely without any problems.

‘If this is an experience, it must be an experience…’

I had never been to prison in my entire life. The other time, he was summoned to the imperial family due to a misunderstanding, but back then he was able to be released early thanks to Tia’s help.

This experience was not a very pleasant experience, but they say that there are no useless experiences in the world. ······maybe.

“More than that, guys. How’s the situation outside?”

Enjoying a long-awaited reunion, finding and killing the one who framed him. All good, but now there is something more important than that. It’s been a week since he was released, and today is the day of the raid. He needed information about what happened outside during his absence.

“…there was a bit of a problem outside.”

Tia said. Problem? There shouldn’t have been any problems during the preparation period. Arthur decided to listen to the back story.

“We didn’t actually see it, we only heard about it, but they say the seal was attacked. Two elves guarding the seal died.”

“Is the seal being attacked…?”

“Yes. That caused a stir. There have been no attacks since.”

Are the elves dead? weird. There is a world tree besides himself here. The world tree also has a future time, so if that happened, you would have been able to deal with it, right?

Besides that, there must be an S-class adventurer, Gideon. And I don’t think he’ll help, but he’ll have Luke, but it’s happening nonetheless.

“Where was Luke and what was he doing?”

“that is······.”

Arthur was shocked to hear Tia’s answer.

“You can’t see it…?”

“Yes. It must have been three days ago. I haven’t seen him since.”

Did he get scared and run away? After all, he had no choice but to lower his tail and run away in front of an S-class monster, right?

But I’m different from that guy. I won’t be of much help as the opponent is my opponent, but I will confidently do my part and grow as much as possible.

“First, let’s go to the World Tree. I need to hear what we have to do.”

“That… Arthur?”

“Why Stella?”

“Can we do something here? There are S-class adventurers like the dean, and there are elves and world trees. Aren’t we getting in the way…?”

Stella’s face was full of worry and concern. …to be honest, I’m scared too. Even the original Arthur plays a supporting role in this episode. It is an episode that becomes a stepping stone to realize the reason to grow and grow internally.

I thought it would be anything because I was the main character, but I realized that I didn’t know it because I was in prison. That this isn’t fiction, it’s reality. After going through many things, I knew that wasn’t the case. This time, I had to admit that if I did something wrong, I could really die.

“Stella. Everyone has their own job to do. Even if you can’t help this time, you can move supplies to help with supplies, or move the injured to save people from dying. So don’t belittle yourself too much.”

Woo-wook-! Even after talking, I cringe. I don’t know how the main characters say such cheesy words soberly. It’s hard to force myself to laugh.

What can I do though? The main character’s mission is to make the heroine smile by her side when she is having a hard time. At Arthur’s words, Stella gave a small smile as if her tension had eased a little.

“thanks.”

“Nothing. Then shall we depart?”

“Yes!”

Although it was quite bright, the location is still the entrance to the prison. I left the gloomy place and went straight to the throne room. Of course, the eyes of the elves were not very kind. It’s a false accusation, but he’s a criminal who raped their god.

‘I don’t know who did it, but I won’t let you go if you get caught.’

Although he had no clue now, he thought that if caught, it would be the first murder of his life. Arthur and his party head to the throne room with such a burning desire for revenge. Standing at the entrance of the audience room, I asked for permission, as the great warriors had done before.

“World Tree, this is Arthur. May I come in?”

Then a voice echoed in my head.

[Yes. Come on in.]

Permission was given, and when I opened the huge door and went in, there was a world tree on a chair in front of a table with loose papers.

“·······.”

[·······.]

He entered, but what followed was silence. Even though he was framed, the relationship between the World Tree and Arthur is that of a rapist and a victim.

‘I didn’t do it, so why do I have to be so awkward…’

Arthur was embarrassed. To notice here is to admit that there is no false accusation, so Arthur decided to go out confidently.

“World Tree. Prior to the start of the raid, we came to ask what we should do.”

[Ahh···.]

It wasn’t until Arthur started rhyming that we were able to start a proper conversation.

[Did you know that the seal and the elves were attacked the other day?]

“Yes. I received it through the party.”

[We are guessing that the culprit is a demon.]

What… that’s right Because most of the bad things were the correct answer when it was connected with the demons. I don’t know what will happen to S-class monsters, but this time, it overlaps with demons as well. It was Arthur who found the job to be quite difficult.

[And the culprit hasn’t been seen since the first raid. It is impossible to confirm even in my future time.]

“That means…the culprit is still hiding somewhere in the forest.”

[Unfortunately. We’re expecting criminals to raid during raids. Arthur and his party can block the criminal while we proceed with the raid.]

“All right.”

[Thank you for your cooperation.]

After leaving the audience room, Arthur sighed.

“Sigh···.”

“Why is that?”

“No, monsters are monsters, but there are even demons, so I’m a little nervous.”

“Sure… that’s right.”

Compared to monsters, demons look shabby, but that’s only when compared to monsters. The demon itself is a disaster itself for humans. So I couldn’t help but be nervous. All you can do is prepare as much as possible and be prepared. To do so, Arthur moved his feet to the quarters where his sword would be.

“Let’s get ready quickly.”

“Yep!”

“Yes.”

***

A place close to the seal. There were over a hundred elves all gathered there. Except for the rear support, all forces had gathered at the seal. Arthur, who was ready, was also there, but a rare long-haired black man approached Arthur, who was standing in line.

“Is that you? That you came to help the raid this time?”

The first thing that came to Arthur’s eyes when he identified the owner of the voice was the ear. Non-pointed ears. Since there was only one human other than himself and Luke here, Arthur knew who the man was at once.

“It’s an honor to meet you.”

“Hmm? Do you know me?”

“How can I not know about the S-class adventurers who only have three on the continent?”

A monster like Dean Lucia. It was Weapon Master Gideon. Tia and Stella also widened their eyes at Arthur’s words. It’s worth meeting at least once, but it seems like we haven’t seen each other for a week.

“Ha ha. I didn’t know I was that famous.”

When Gideon handed over his hand saying that he was happy, Arthur responded by holding hands. Gideon held Arthur’s hand and smiled a little.

“Are you nervous?”

“Yes···?”

“Your hands are stiff. Don’t be too nervous. Moderate tension is good for warming up your body, but too much tension makes your body unable to move.”

“Thank you for the advice.”

Afterwards, Gideon disappeared somewhere after shaking hands with Tia and Stella. So this time, the elf Paln, who had guided Arthur’s party the other day, approached.

“Human. Have you ever seen Evangeline?”

Evangeline. Was it the name of the elf who guided Luke before?

“No. I haven’t seen it. I’ve been imprisoned for a week.”

“I see. Got it.”

So the elf around Arthur said.

“Fallen-nim. A few days ago, the person standing guard at the entrance said that Evangeline-nim made a wagon and went out of Alfheim.”

“carriage······?”

After I finished the guide, Yggdrasil hadn’t issued any separate orders. So, is it her dogma? However, the carriage was strange to be arbitrary. If you have a horse, if you’re going to make a decision, you shouldn’t have to make a wagon that doesn’t have one, but you should have gone out on a horse. Maybe it would have been faster to just run.

Paln, who had been thinking deeply, soon stopped thinking.

“… It’s okay. She must have a mission as well.”

She was a person of honor, so I wondered if she was in charge of something else important. Even though it was a great loss to have one power that could be used as a great swordsman, it can’t be undone now. Afterwards, Paln moved to a location where everyone could see and shouted loudly so everyone could hear.

“Before the raid begins, from now on, instead of Yggdrasil-nim, I, Daejeon Palun, will command the scene!”

In place of the World Tree, who couldn’t get out of Alfheim, it was the great warrior Palun who took command of this raid.

“Today, we will defeat the monsters that terrified the continent with our own hands!”

-Charah…

After Paln’s words ended, green pellets fell from the sky. Arthur, who inadvertently touched those beautiful grains, could feel the power welling up from within.

“This···.”

Looking around, the elves were unconcerned, and the only ones admiring were Tia and Stella, including herself.

“Raise your arms, warriors! Yggdrasil’s blessing is with us!!”

-Waaa!!!

A shout filled the quiet forest. That momentum didn’t scare even S-class monsters. Afterwards, the elves headed to their respective seats. Some moved forward with a fixed large bow, while others held swords and moved forward. Before long, a huge wave came crashing down on the forest. The direction is from the direction of the world tree to the direction of the seal.

Then, the letters on the tombstone that was in charge of sealing flashed in blue once, and then lost its light and collapsed.

-thud!

As the tombstones collapsed one by one, the mountain began to move with a sudden shaking. It’s not just a mountain, it’s a disaster with an ego. I couldn’t help but swallow my mouth at that simple movement.

The volcano, which was covered with moss, began to glow with red light, and soon the moss burned away and regained its integrity.

Legs came out one by one from under the shell, three pairs of large and small eyes flashed, and finally the head came out.

-Kwaaa────────!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the roar announcing the revival of the Volcanic Kerapace Dragon, the raid began.
