144 – Defensive Battle (2)

“Step back! “Retreat!”

An elf jumping up a tree to avoid a huge explosion.

As an explosion occurred above the dense forest, the earth shook.

At the same time, the flames begin to spread over the trees.

At the same time, elf wizards, including Veronica, came forward.

A tidal wave pouring out like a waterfall from a huge magic circle.

The monster was swept away by the strong current and the fire was extinguished.

However, the spirit of the Demon King’s army did not subside.

“Everyone gather together! “Don’t fall!”

The demons strengthen their ranks at Katrin’s shout.

Both eyes were burning as if they were on fire.

“That guy is Catherine!”

The first person to react was Catalina.

As soon as their eyes met, they rushed at each other.

“Sister! “It’s dangerous!”

“Then you are waiting there!”

Catalina rushes forward without looking back.

And Malcolm follows behind.

The elves fled up the tree and only continued to fire support fire.

And there we were in the center of the battlefield.

“Protect Celica as a top priority. And don’t push yourself forward.”

“But Catalina…!”

“I’ll take care of it. So let’s do our best first.”

“Yes. All right.”

Celica looks at her enemies nervously.

Kayla overcomes her demons by burning her entire body.

On the other hand, Erina was showing surprisingly passive behavior.

“Erina.”

“Ah, yes!”

As she was in a daze for a moment, I patted her on the back and she looked surprised.

I thought she would run like Catalina as soon as she saw the enemy.

Today I was moving very passively.

He even showed signs of being tired, unlike yesterday.

“Come to your senses. “You have to win no matter what.”

“Yes…! Do not worry!”

Fortunately, he listened to me and adjusted his posture.

I calmly moved forward and defeated the charging monsters.

The most annoying enemy among them was the demons.

“Her knife is poisoned! Be careful!”

Ten demons rushing towards us.

It was an extremely difficult opponent compared to a monster without intelligence.

“Kayla! Block the road!”

“Yes!”

Immediately, Kayla caught the flame in her mouth and blew her breath.

While the demons hesitated due to the harsh flames.

He held up a shield and erected ice spikes on the surface.

“Wow…!”

The face of the demon who was hit by the shield was crushed.

Soon after, Erina’s attack split her body in half.

Soon after, a barrage of arrows flew from the right.

Among them, the sharpest arrow hit the demon right between the eyes.

“What are you doing! “Push it out quickly!”

Her ears were deafened by Catherine’s voice.

At the same time, the demons began screaming and swinging their weapons.

“Celica. Ride on my back!”

“Ah, yes!”

Celica immediately clings to my back and crosses her arms.

He slowly advanced and began to deal with the demons.

A giant wearing armor and wielding a sword.

A group of dwarves holding wands and chanting spells.

An imp who moves nimbly holding a double sword.

Not everyone can be taken lightly.

“Erina. Take charge of the giant. “We do the rest…”

“No. “You stay still.”

As I grabbed the scabbard and unleashed electricity, sparks began to appear.

As I pulled out the sword, a white beam of light tore through the space.

“Wha…?!”

A shock so strong that even Kayla next to him flinched.

However, unlike the monsters, the demons did not suffer quietly.

I tried to block the lightning with a black-stained shield, but it was torn apart.

The giant rolled on the floor with the wizard and got out of his seat.

As the lightning fades, a barrage of daggers comes flying in.

As I calmly held up my shield and threw it away, green poison flowed out.

“Kayla! “Take care of the wizard!”

After leaving the wizard and giant to Erina and Kayla, I ran out to the group of dwarves.

At first glance, there seemed to be more than fifteen people.

The moment when everyone is running towards them with daggers in both hands.

A huge scarf was flying towards me.

The flames are blacker and thicker than Kayla’s flames.

There was even a foul odor of unknown origin.

“Catherine…!”

I could see Catherine continuing her magic from afar.

Then Celica, riding on his back, raised her voice.

“I will help you!”

Celica clings to me and holds her hands together.

Light flowed from the surroundings, and a solid barrier appeared before my eyes.

As a huge explosion accompanied by a roar occurred, it was blocked by a golden barrier.

Although there were cracks, the inside of the wall was safe.

“Celica. Thank you.”

“Yes… Be careful though.”

“Yes. “Hold on tight so you don’t fall.”

She held her sword and her shield tightly around her.

The barrier was shattered by the barrage of daggers flying countless times.

Now that we have blocked Catherine’s magic, we have done everything we need to do.

A total of sixteen. Thirty-two daggers.

Of course, it was impossible to avoid everything.

“Celica. “Do you have the antidote?”

“…Yes. “It’s enough.”

“Don’t worry. “I will definitely protect you.”

Blow cold into her sword and freeze it.

She raised her shield and covered the front.

Advance slowly to avoid being surrounded.

She turned to her left to avoid the guys charging at her from both sides.

“Hmph…!”

He thrust out her sword and smashed her head.

I swung with the lower part of the shield and tore the other guy’s body apart.

A shield given as a gift by Julia. Did she say kite shield?

Thanks to her sharp edges, she was useful in many ways.

“Seohyun! Behind…!”

“I know!”

I quickly grabbed my back and kicked the guy who was trying to stab me with a dagger.

He put the knife in her while she was lying on the floor and quickly turned her head.

At that time, a tingling sensation brushed against her forearm.

Her posture almost collapsed without me knowing, but I strengthened her legs.

He calmly pushed his opponent away with his shield and swung his sword.

“Ugh…”

Even though I was only grazed by a dagger, it throbbed as if I had been stabbed by an awl.

Even though Celica’s healing continued, it had no effect at all.

There are still twelve left. There is still a long time left.

Erina and Kayla are still trapped by the giant and wizard.

If time was delayed, there was a high possibility of being isolated.

He froze his shield, converted it into a great shield, and charged.

He pushed the dwarves away with force and radiated chills.

Eroticism spreads around, freezing the air.

I felt cold and my movements became sluggish.

“Celica. “Just be patient.”

Fortunately, Celica was not affected by her warm blessing, but she must be feeling the cold itself.

There was nothing good about taking so long.

She randomly swung her sword at the opponent whose movements had become sluggish and slaughtered them.

In order to protect Celica, I had no choice but to bear the damage to her.

Every time the dagger passed by, a sharp pain came.

She gritted her teeth, endured her pain, and continued her attack.

At that moment, her vision began to turn dark.

For a moment, the feeling became dull, as if her feet were tied.

It was a sign that poison was spreading through her body.

She moved her limbs roughly, trying to resist her paralysis.

Gradually, even the pain becomes dull and my ears start to ring.

Her limbs began to lose strength.

‘How many have you killed so far…?’

Twelve. No, it’s thirteen.

Even her mind seemed to be going blank, and her head wasn’t working properly.

Finally, even her consciousness began to fade and she felt as if her strength was being released.

There was someone holding her shoulder with warmth.

“Master…!”

The moment Kayla’s voice reached my ears.

My consciousness, which had been blurred, returned to its original state.

At the same time, wild flames passed before her eyes.

And the lightning splitting the space colored the vision white.

At the same time, I strengthened my legs and opened my eyes.

The dwarves scream as they are swept away by the flames and electricity.

The giant and the wizard were lying on the floor.

“Seohyun! Are you okay…?!”

As Erina hugged me, I was finally able to feel at ease.

This could be a dangerous situation.

Fortunately, my colleagues came to my rescue in time.

“Don’t worry… I’m fine…!”

I couldn’t relax yet.

I only defeated a few demons.

Catherine’s troops were still alive and well.

“Catherine…!”

Before I could finish speaking, bombings started falling from the sky.

I barely escaped the bombing with Erina’s support.

If things continue like this, the situation could end up being isolated by monsters.

“You must step down first!”

Kayla’s words created confusion in my mind.

Should we go head-to-head with Catherine like this?

Or should we give up on entering the forest and retreat?

Unfortunately, the decision was not up to me.

The spirit of the Demon King’s army showed no signs of abating.

As long as Catherine was alive and well, there was no way she could easily step down.

And Malcolm was found near the enemy lines.

Supporting Catalina and retreating behind her.

As expected, it was difficult for her to deal with Catherine.

“Let’s step aside…!”

She had no choice but to give up and retreat.

As soon as the command was given, Erina wrapped her arms around me.

Likewise, Celica escaped from the battlefield while hugging Kayla.

As I retreated to the beginning of the forest, Tyria came down from the tree and greeted me.

“Are you okay?!”

“Yes. “Let’s retreat to the base first…”

I wanted to hold on as long as I could, but it wasn’t enough in my current state.

I had no choice but to take a step back.

“Tell this to the knights. Katrin has appeared and we must retreat to the center of the forest.”

“Yes! All right.”

As soon as Tyria’s order was given, the elves quickly began to leave the place.

I also headed into the forest with Erina’s support.

Fortunately, the chasing army was small, but I could not hide my bitter feelings.

“I’m sorry…”

While I was running away, Erina hugged me and apologized.

“No. It’s my fault.”

I thought I was definitely ready, but I was wrong.

This time, I decided to admit defeat and step down.
