Episode 215 People you want to protect (2)

– ‘Come to me’ and self-destruct.

“Guruk!”

The 2,500 zombies wandering aimlessly around the battlefield flinched. An order delivered suddenly. They all raised their heads in unison. I looked away. 2,500 lines of sight that are blurry but contain a clear purpose. Where all the eyes were focused, there was Cartu.

Warlock Cartu.

their creators.

The Creator’s command is absolute.

But the creator just gave an order.

To ‘come to yourself’ and self-destruct.

“…Roll! “Gurruk!”

The zombies all turned around. It was towards Cartu. The zombies took steps all at once. It was towards Cartu. Everyone’s steps became faster and faster. It turned into jumping.

“Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Quoauck!”

To execute a command. Willing for blind and absolute obedience!

Doo doo doo doo!

The march of 2,500 corpses began to shake the battlefield.

Rakiel felt it too.

No, just now, when I was unable to catch the sphere of black magic and let it go with my fingertips, I also felt the contents of the command that had been randomly changed by me.

‘Come towards me and self-destruct?’

It certainly was.

I wondered if it was an illusion, but looking at the zombies’ behavior now, I realized that what I felt was correct. They are flocking this way. For what? It was obvious.

‘The order was sent because it was Kartuni. ‘All the zombies on the battlefield are coming to Kartu and trying to destroy themselves.’

That was the moment I realized that. Rachiel responded immediately.

“Urus!”

I called out to Urus who was nearby.

I stretched out my hand as Urus came. I grabbed Cartu who was hanging down and forced him up. I was supported. I handed it to Urus who approached me.

“Pick this guy up!”

“…Neuu?”

“hurry! “Me too!”

They grabbed Cartu, who was almost dead, and climbed on Urus’ shoulders together. As soon as I got on, I quickly spoke to Urus.

“Listen carefully. From now on, zombies will come to us. To be exact, he’ll try to approach this warlock guy here. So we run from now on. Prevent zombies from contacting the warlock. Instead, we maintain a reasonable speed and momentum so that the zombies don’t miss us. And Damien?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“You run alongside Urus and block any zombies that come close. Instead, don’t smash it too hard. “Don’t cut off your legs.”

“Why?”

“If you smash it too hard, it could explode on the spot. If a leg is cut off, it may struggle on the spot and explode later. They shouldn’t explode in the wrong place. “We have to get it all in one place.”

“No way…”

Damian’s expression hardened slightly as he looked up.

“Are you planning on crowding zombies into one place and causing an explosion?”

“uh.”

“But Your Highness.”

“I know what you’re trying to say. Do you want someone else to do it? I don’t have time. The Royal Guards were mixed with the Orc warriors, and the Special Forces members were all unconscious. Besides, Urus doesn’t listen to orders from anyone other than me.”

“I am there.”

“That’s why I’m taking you with me. I don’t have time. “They’re coming in droves.”

I covered it up with lies.

To be honest, I wanted to leave this role to someone else. According to the contents of the command, zombies flock to Cartu and try to destroy themselves. As soon as I realized the situation, the response that came to mind was to run with Cartu.

Then the zombies will follow you out of ignorance. Because it can only self-destruct if it comes into contact with Cartu. To carry out that order, they will come like a swarm of rats following the Pied Piper.

‘I just happened to think of a place to safely explode them.’

It reminded me of the time I was exploring long-rooted licorice. At that time, I had passed through a canyon located quite far west of Kranos. It was a fairly deep canyon. What if you crowd all the zombies there and cause an explosion? There will be no damage to the battlefield or city here.

That was the plan I just came up with. It was also a risky plan. Anyway, you have to grab Cartu and run around to guide the zombies. I didn’t want to take on that role. But there is no one to entrust it to. It’s real.

‘Guardian? I can’t come. Everyone is so spread out. The zombies will come first. Special forces member? Everyone collapsed. Orc warrior? Communication with Urus is impossible. What about Damian? Actually, he is the best person… but I want to avoid pushing him into a desperate crisis.’

An extremely dangerous being could awaken inside him. That’s the worst. In the end, if you exclude all the candidates, the only one left is… me.

“….”

Crack!

Rachiel gritted his teeth. I don’t feel like it, but I have to do it. There is no time.

“Urus! run! To the west!”

“Nuh-!”

Urus roared and kicked the ground. Damian, who had been trying to persuade them, had no choice but to follow with a resigned look on his face.

ran west.

A group of zombies coming from that direction roared happily(?).

“Gurrrwook!”

“Guoeook!”

It was a warmer welcome than expected. Is it really that nice to see the Cartu we’re carrying here getting closer? Is it a roar of joy at being able to carry out an order?

I couldn’t figure it out.

I’m not even interested.

Now I’m just breaking through.

“Drill it!”

“Nuuuu-!”

Urus ran even more furiously and swung his arms. Zombies that were hit by the forearm flew away. Meanwhile, several zombies avoided Urus’ attack and approached through the gap. But they had to face Damian’s sheathed sword.

…Bbaak!

“Guooc?”

A few rays of light flashed. Damian’s sword, swung in its sheath, hit the zombies’ heads. The entire rib was shattered. A heavy blow, not a sharp cut. The impact force itself exerted a strong stopping power and instantly pushed away the zombies that had been hit.

“Kwaeuuk!”

“Guruk!”

It’s evil coming from all directions.

I broke through by pushing, hitting, bouncing, and catching. Dozens or hundreds of zombies blocked the way and roared like beasts. I broke through and rushed forward. Like a battleship advancing while breaking the waves. Like a tank advancing while trampling on obstacles. Like rhinoceros horns. Honestly. Firmly. Without hesitation.

The road was finally opened.

“let’s go!”

“Nuuuu!”

A wide open space before your eyes. Open wilderness. I ran through the acrid wind of dust. An inexplicable shiver ran through the back of my neck beneath my flowing hair. The wave of zombies coming from behind felt like a sweet marching song.

What am I doing now? I don’t know. This is something I’ve never done before. Strangely enough, my blood boiled. I shouted without realizing it.

“entire! “Follow me, you bastards!”

“…Grrwook!”

My shouts and the zombies’ roars. It was mixed up. We ran together. Without stopping. Without hesitation. Endlessly heading west. After running and running, we finally reached the entrance to the canyon.

“majesty!”

Damian, who was running side by side, shouted.

“I know what’s going on! If the warlock is the bait! “I will take him over!”

“I know what you mean! refuse!”

“Why?”

“Because there’s no way I can get out on my own!”

I shouted with all my might. It was true. This is a yard that has already entered the canyon. The canyon was deep and narrow. The towering cliffs on both sides were almost 90 degrees. Moreover, the entrance to the canyon was blocked by an army of zombies coming in without notice.

In other words, there is no way to get out of the canyon by yourself.

“Go back with Urus! “You will be able to break through!”

“Dismissed! Then you can’t get out!”

“I’m fine!”

“I’m not okay, human!”

Even Damian can’t get out of here without Urus. breakthrough? It may be possible to some extent, but eventually you will lose strength. Climbing up a canyon? Uneasy. In other words, since we have come this far, we must all come together to survive and get out safely.

“So stop talking nonsense and keep running!”

Damien’s argument was repulsed.

Urus was encouraged.

“Nuuu! “Puruk!”

The eyes of the Minotaur running through the canyon were filled with venom. In fact, Urus was secretly frightened as soon as he saw the entrance to the canyon.

For a moment, a nightmare-like memory came back to me. A group of human hunters who lured him in. A captive baby Minotaur calf. He went into the canyon without hesitation to save the baby. The humans who collapsed the canyon as if they had been waiting.

A pile of rocks that collapsed as if it would cover the world. The person who was crushed and cried. A baby dying in her arms. The helplessness and despair at that time. Painful memories that even broke my heart.

‘…purr!’

Urus shook his head violently. I was determined and made a promise. Today will be different. He said he would definitely protect the crown prince who became his friend. With determination in his eyes, he kicked the ground even more fiercely.

A narrow passage-like path at the bottom of a canyon.

I ran and moved forward.

Finally, we reached the deepest end. It was like a dead end alley. As soon as he arrived, he pushed Cartu off Urus’ shoulder.

“…Keueuuu.”

A warlock who refuses to say anything as he dies. The guy let out a faint, unintelligible moan. The moment I saw that, my feelings became complicated. But I can’t help it.

‘It’s a situation they created themselves. Consider it as retribution and accept it graciously.’

When you draw a line, you have to draw it.

I pushed hard.

Cartu, who had been pushed, fell to the bottom of the gorge.

“Damian! get on!”

Damian, who realized what this meant, immediately moved. Urus also immediately turned around. Now is the time to break through and escape.

“Nuuuuuuuu-!”

Urus’ entire body muscles were aflame. A powerful counterattack began.

Quadddddd!

Toward the canyon exit. Without hesitation. Until now, the breakthrough to lure them had been done with a soft bat, but now they were swinging their horns with all their might, like turning a mace. The beaten zombies flew dozens of meters at a time and settled on the canyon wall.

Nevertheless, the undead army flowing in like a river. Rachiel shouted when they quickly broke through about 100 meters.

“there!”

He pointed to one side of the canyon. There was a relatively gentle slope there. This was the terrain I had seen before entering the canyon.

“Let’s go up!”

“Neuu!”

Urus’ fierce lunge!

Kwaaang-!

It flew up at once and landed on the slope. I kicked again. I went up and up and up the rough slope with a slope of about 60 degrees.

A smile finally appeared on Rachiel’s lips.

‘done!’

That’s enough. I think I can go up high enough. We might be able to climb up the canyon before the big explosion occurs.

Like the hope blooming in my heart, it became a reality. Every moment, the canyon went further and further down. That much closer to the top of the canyon.

It was at that moment that a huge explosion occurred.

“…Roll!”

A cartu that Rakiel threw at the dead end of the canyon. The lead zombie finally rushed towards the dying warlock. I jumped and attacked with my whole body. I hugged him. A smile appeared on the zombie’s lips. After overcoming those difficult processes, I was finally able to carry out the Creator’s orders.

– Come to me and self-destruct.

“Guruk!”

yes!

The moment the zombie shouted out loud, a corpse explosion magic was activated inside the rotting body.

Whoa?

Mana was condensed. Almost at the same time, other zombies rushed forward with all their bodies. From one zombie to another. The process of corpse explosion quickly spread like an infection. in concert. In perfect order. To fulfill the Creator’s will. Absolutely faithful.

It exploded.

…!

It was a volley of 2,500 explosions.

A white flash of light exploded.

At that moment, Cartu’s poor body evaporated without a trace in the heat at the center of the explosion, which soared to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. A huge fireball turned all materials within a 50-meter diameter area into plasma.

Terrible radiant heat spread out in all directions. Rocks on the canyon walls exposed to radiant heat changed into glass crystals when exposed to the heat.

What followed was a huge shock wave traveling faster than the speed of sound. A translocal earthquake occurred in the canyon hit by the shock wave. The entire canyon shook violently. collapsed. The slope Urus was climbing was no exception.

“Neu?”

…Kwahahaha!

The Minotaur king was frightened.

A huge shock wave hit my entire body. I indirectly felt the terrible heat coming from afar. Thanks to the winding structure of the canyon, I was able to avoid being directly hit by the radiant heat, but I was able to feel the heat around me that heated up in an instant with my whole body.

The bigger problem was that the slope we were climbing was collapsing from above!

“Nuuu! Wildebeest! “Puruk!”

There was poison in Urus’ eyes. A nightmare from the past that clearly comes to mind. A pile of rocks pouring down in front of my eyes. The memories of that time were superimposed on the scene before my eyes. My heart was pounding. It will be different from then. certainly!

“Purp!”

I climbed the slope even more fiercely. The top wasn’t far. little bit more. little bit more. I kicked my feet up and ran.

“Nuh-!”

Finally, I took the final leap to the top of the canyon. I narrowly avoided a falling rock. The blue sky revealed behind the rock filled the field of view. Urus’ eyes were filled with joy.

But at that moment.

…Bah!

Suddenly, an ominous sound erupted from behind me.

What does it mean?

Urus was puzzled for a moment. Meanwhile, we finally reached the top of the canyon. I tried to run again to escape the collapse area. It was only then that I was able to realize what was happening.

It was thanks to Damian’s urgent cry.

“…majesty!”

“Neu?”

I turned my head reflexively.

I finally saw it.

The crown prince was falling down the ravine, bleeding from his head. Was it hit by flying debris? So is he losing consciousness?

“Ugh!”

Damian urgently stretched out his hand. Where his hand extends. The crown prince was there. Rachiel, with her eyes closed, is walking away.

‘please.’

little bit more.

ardently.

I stretched out my hand. I tried to catch it. I think I can reach it. If you do it right. The fingertips…

…tsk.

It reached and then moved away.

As if passing by, in vain.

Without even having time to catch it.

“…!”

Damian’s eyes widened. It felt like all the scenery in the world slowed down for an instant. In such a strange sensation, the crown prince is moving away. Sprinkling droplets of blood. Down a canyon where explosions and collapses occur. Falling down without end.

It goes away.

To a place that cannot be held forever.

‘no.’

I haven’t yet been able to repay you for what I received. I’m finally starting to find out what kind of person you are. It’s only late that I’m starting to truly feel like I want to protect you.

But why?

…Thump!

The moment his heart pounded, Damian threw himself towards Rachiel.
