The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

12. Extra’s Before the Storm

cooong! cooong!

Stone dust from the ceiling of the cave fell over his head.

Outside, as if there was an earthquake, huge vibrations and explosions continued to be heard.

Ronia hurriedly shouted at the roar that did not intend to stop.

“Lady Merian, shouldn’t we fight together?”

Ronia grabbed Mikaris’ shoulders and shook them.

“Lady Merian!”

“Did you see that number? Even if we go, there will be nothing we can do.”

“But…!”

“I trust my direct reports.”

Mikaris’ hands were trembling, but there was no trembling in his eyes. Because she trusted her direct reports more than anyone else.

It’s because the results have been shown so far. I believe it will happen this time too.

Of course, it wasn’t that I wasn’t worried. I want to go and help right now.

But…

The current Mikaris didn’t have the strength to do that.

“⋯⋯.”

Ronia grabbed Mikaris’ trembling hand.

“Lady Merian. Even if you don’t die in this dungeon and the pain is alleviated, pain is pain. I can’t imagine the pain Hound must feel on our behalf. I will go.”

Ronia strode out of the cave.

“for a moment!”

Mikaris stopped Ronia’s steps and continued.

“I will go too.”

“It should be.”

The time when I was about to come out of the cave and head to the Hound.

Out of breath, I saw a hound coming this way, using a sword as a staff.

“Hound!”

“Mr. Hound!”

Ronia and Mikaris hurriedly ran.

“There are too many scars!”

“⋯It’s okay. I was just a little overworked.”

Tears began to well up in Mikaris’ eyes.

“⋯Mistress, are you crying?”

“When will I…”

From the first meeting, even though he is a commoner, he always has a confident attitude, and his straight eyes full of conviction, the exact opposite of his eyes that have lost their light.

He is his own way, but to her, who has lived as a doll of the marquis family, the Hound is like a symbol of freedom.

Then he threw himself to protect himself and was wounded and gasping for breath.

It seemed as if the billionaires would collapse any moment.

“A potion…”

“Here you are! Let’s get some rest first.”

Chaaa – Blood boils as I spray potions on wounds everywhere.

“Turn it off…”

“Hound? Mr. Hound! Wake up!”

***

“Uh…”

“Woke up?”

When I opened my eyes, I met Mikaris’ eyes. Her knees were serving as a pillow at the bedside.

My head throbs and my whole body aches. Is it the aftereffect of the potion?

But I don’t have time to do this right now.

I raised my back and shouted.

“How much time has passed now?!”

“Wait, don’t overdo it!”

“I think it’s been about two hours.”

two hours. Around this time, it’s time for the main character’s party to arrive at the boss room.

It was easy to find the boss room thanks to Finston’s magic tracking.

I stood up, enduring the wounds that had not yet healed and the aftereffects of the potion.

“Let’s move before it’s too late. Right now, time is of the essence.”

“Would you mind not taking a break? It doesn’t look very good yet…”

I said firmly.

“It’s not possible.”

“Are all the wounds healed?”

Mikaris’ hand is still shaking.

“are you okay. We’re going to be number one, right?”

At that time, Ronia grabbed my sleeve and shouted.

“It’s okay, anything is okay! If you continue to feel pain, your mind will be strained and there may be aftereffects!”

She’s right. This is a dungeon where you can feel some pain even if you don’t die.

It would be correct to say that you connect your body with your avatar and enter the game.

Although the body of illusion and reality are not directly connected, the mind is connected, so there may be aftereffects.

But…

I can’t see the story of the main character’s party winning first place.

I feel a little sorry for the main character, but I feel uncomfortable imagining that Henston stiffen his head.

‘Sir, if it weren’t for the white-haired bastard…’

First you have to move. Because the incident has already happened and the original episode is in progress.

I met Ronia’s eyes.

“Ronia, I want to show them. That you and Mikaris aren’t the ones to be thrown away, and that the existence of me appeared in this world.”

“What is that…”

“It means you can’t give up first place.”

I strode out of the cave, enduring the pain.

“Where are you going?”

“We will follow the end of the quarry like this. Then there is a cave with a blue magic stone. The boss room exists there.”

“How do you know that?”

“⋯I heard about it from my parents who were adventurers.”

They had a rather puzzled look on their faces, but…

Well, maybe it happened because it passed? Tolerably, nobles don’t know about the profession of an adventurer.

“This way.”

While guiding them towards the boss room, the kobolds appeared again.

Kruck!

“This time, Ronia will save her magic and let Mikaris handle it!”

“Lightning Spear!”

paper weave. A spear of lightning projected from the purple magic circle drawn on her hand.

The kobold hit by the spear was electrocuted and convulsed.

Seeing the tears and saliva pouring out of it openly made me a little afraid of electric shock magic.

“There’s a guy coming with a hammer!”

“I know! Lightning Edge!”

Crisp! The kobold was knocked down by a blade made of lightning.

Looking at it now, the speed at which the magic circle was drawn from Mikaris’ hand increased. Are you relaxed?

In this state, it would be better to leave the upcoming kobolds to Mikaris. Because Ronia has to face the magic of Hunstern.

“Keep going. Ronia’s magic is used in the boss room. In the meantime, it would be better for me and Mikaris to deal with the kobolds that appear.”

“Do you even know the boss?”

“⋯Because most of the bosses in the dungeon are weak against fire.”

The kobolds that keep popping out go ahead as Mikaris and I kill them.

As I followed the edge of the quarry, I could see a cave that shimmered with blue light.

“See the blue light in front of me? This is the cave.”

A bright blue light that shines even from 300m away. A magic stone that marks the boss room.

Henston followed the magical power of that magic stone to find the boss room.

Hopefully the main character’s party hasn’t entered the boss room yet.

At that time, Ronia proposed.

“When you arrive at the entrance to the boss room, you might want to take a break. Aren’t you all overworked?”

“Yeah, I’m running out of magic now too.”

“Yes, it is.”

Actually, I’m a little anxious.

If the first party to enter starts a subjugation, other parties cannot challenge until the challenge is over.

If the main character’s party reaches the boss room first and proceeds to subdue it, then there is really no answer.

“⋯⋯.”

Why are things so twisted? After all, it’s because of that all-white haired bastard, right?

I ran out of coins, lost my dream of becoming a magic swordsman, and Seabarger.

When we calmed down our rising anger and came to our senses, we were greeted by a magic stone shining so bright that we couldn’t open our eyes.

This is the cave leading to the boss room.

“Let’s go inside, there won’t be any kobolds in here.”

“After… I want to rest now too.”

“I’m sorry for some reason…”

“I have nothing to apologize for. We are party members, so each of us has our own role.”

“Isn’t it? Somehow, it feels like being taught by a veteran adventurer.”

“I feel that way too.”

“⋯⋯.”

I only saw it through text, but it’s my first time actually coming.

Looking at the state of the unopened door, it seems that the main character’s party has not arrived yet.

I let out a sigh of relief.

“after.”

I’m so glad

and⋯.

Here I am in anguish.

Currently, Mikaris and I are not in the best condition.

As Mikaris moved, he dealt with most of the kobolds, almost draining his mana, and to make matters worse, I also consumed a lot of stamina because of Lori Hynes or something.

I’m not sure I’ll win just by fighting the main character’s party as it is now.

At this point, what is Rutera? One shot would knock me out, but Hunstern is different.

Should I just go into the boss room and subdue it?

“⋯⋯.”

“What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about how to catch the boss.”

“Hey, can’t you explain it to us too?”

Can I explain this, in the end, it’s just my greed.

‘I don’t like Fenston, so I’m waiting at the entrance until he comes to beat him.’ It can’t be done…

If there’s going to be a fight anyway, you better talk.

I gathered them to explain the future.

“Henston Arcadia and Ruterra Adelian’s party will be coming soon.”

“what? Then shouldn’t we go in soon?”

“That’s right, if a fight breaks out…!”

“no. I don’t think so. If we defeat the boss in first place, the next party that came in will become second place.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I want to make that proud Confucius party not a second place, but a dropout bridesmaid.”

“⋯⋯.”

Mikaris and Ronia’s expressions stiffened. I’d like to know what that means.

“Did I tell you before? You are not the kind of people to be ruthlessly abandoned. I want to show you. Squeeze them… no, fighting the Confucius party.”

“⋯is it some kind of revenge?”

“Yes.”

Ronia and Mikaris hesitated. It would not be an easy decision to fight against two of the four major dukes.

At that time, Ronia spoke first.

“I want to fight.”

“what? Are you insane?”

“What about Lady Merian?”

“I…”

Mikaris is rolling her eyes and looking at us.

Choose yourself this time.

I should no longer be a doll of the Marquis Merian, but a Mikaris Merian with an ego.

As if making up his mind, Mikaris, who had only been watching us, raised his head and opened his mouth.

“⋯I will fight too.”

It’s unique. I smiled and praised Mikaris.

“You made a good choice.”

Afterwards, I sat down on a suitable rock and started meditating.

“what are you doing?”

“It is meditation. If you collect auras, your body will recover.”

“Is that even possible?”

“Anyone who learns swordsmanship does it.”

“I see…”

what? Her eyes looking at me feel a bit strange.

It’s not important right now, and I need to stabilize my energy as soon as possible.

Five stars, five stars, and the fluctuating aura could not be stabilized, so it could not extract its full power.

It worked out well in the fight against the supervisor kobold, but it must be stabilized unconditionally until the main character’s party arrives.

‘Ah, but now that I think of it, didn’t I say it was the path of the swordsman?’

[Swordsmanship proficiency 423 / Possessed coins: 0 / Those who walk the path of the swordsman]

The first thing that caught my eye in the special shop was….

From noble mtl dot com

A coin that has become 0.

No matter how the situation was…

It’s a pity that I missed the magic swordsman. It’s a man’s dream

What can I do though? You should be satisfied with the swordsman’s path.

Swordsman, the name is a little flashy, but I don’t think this is too bad.

It’s magic. Isn’t it just a matter of picking a dragon’s head and collecting a dragon heart?

That moment.

With a pounding sound, the fluctuating aura inside her body began to stabilize.

The body, which had been sore from the scratches and throbbing from the bruises, gradually began to recover, and the condition began to improve.

‘I don’t think the recovery effect makes sense since it’s 5 stars?’

While immersed in meditation and admiring the 5-star Aura, Ronia shouted.

“Arrived! It’s a Confucius party!”

Oh, the time I’ve been waiting for

It is the appearance of the main character party.

I was really waiting.

Confucius.
