After discussing with Frillite, it was decided that I was the one going back. She would be more helpful than me at subjugating the Behemoth, if they encountered it.
I had no regrets about missing the subjugation because I only needed the soul of the Behemoth to absorb it into my glyph.
So I led my party members and the cavalry out of the forest.
No matter how hard they ran, there was no way the soldiers could run faster than the beasts. By the time we got out of the forest, the beast horde was nowhere to be seen, only the traces they left behind proved their existence.
“Get on your horses, at once!”
Before leaving the forest, Randolph handed over the jurisdiction of the soldiers to me. It means that I have the authority to command these soldiers, for now.
At my command, the soldiers hurriedly mounted their horses.
“Follow the monsters!”
Led by me and my party at the forefront, the cavalry of three hundred soldiers started galloping along the trail of the monster horde.
Their traces pointed that they were heading towards the city, and not the villages.
‘I hope it’s not too late.’
If the gates aren’t breached, we can still fix this somehow. But that was just how I wished the things to be.
When we arrived near the city, we were greeted by the wide open gates and terrified screams coming from inside.
The situation inside the city was a mess.
Beasts and monsters were rampaging around the city at will, and citizens were darting around for shelter in panic. The guards didn’t have the strength to subdue the beasts.
‘Why can’t I see the soldiers and knights?’
Even if more than half of the troops were deployed to the forest, there was still ample room for resistance.
However, this was not the time for doubts.
The more I uselessly waste my time on thinking, the more people will die. I turned my attention to the knights among the soldiers I brought with me.
“Are there any knights experienced in commanding soldiers?”
Some of the knights raised their hands.
Among them, I selected the five that stood out above others. There was simply no time to check out how good their commanding skills really were.
“Listen carefully. The soldiers will be divided into five units. And the knights I just pointed out will take the command of one unit each. Do you understand?”
“We are in charge? But hero is…”
“I am a foreigner. I know less about the geography of this city than you do. So, lead your soldiers and subdue the damn monsters that are rioting in your city!”
– Yes, sir!
The knights saluted and hastily began to divide the soldiers into five units.
They will do the rest themselves.
‘What’s left for me is…’
– Kihahaha!
The harpy b!tches flying in the sky.
Harpies caught people in their claws, released them from high air and joyfully giggled at their victim’s desperate screams.
These bird brain motherf**kers!
You think nothing can happen to you guys just because you can fly your asses up to the sky? Think so!
If that’s what makes you confident.
Just wait, you feathery thots.
Let’s see how many holes can I puncture in your bodies.
I rushed with my party members upto a tower.
The tower, though only a little taller than an ordinary building, presented a very good view as it was open in all directions.
This will be enough.
“Eri, prepare your spells.”
“Hmm.”
Eri nodded.
She seemed to understand the reason we had climbed the tower was to make her use the spells.
“Can’t you just wipe them out all together with the strongest spell in your arsenal?”
“Huh? No, that’s not possible here.”
""
So that would injure the innocent citizens too, huh?
“Clairvoyance and magic missile. Do you know these spells?”
I do think she learned both of them in the dungeon.
Clairvoyance was a buff spell that increased the accuracy in the game, but in reality it literally broadens one’s field of vision.
Magic Missile was a magical version of [Mana Strike] in the game, but in reality it is a mass of mana that can be manipulated.
Perhaps she understood my reason for mentioning these two spells, Eri’s eyes widened in horror.
“You aren’t telling me to do double incantation, are you?”
“Uhh, indeed.”
“Do you know how much concentration and mana does double incantation even require!?”
“There are mana potions we found in the dungeon. You can use them all.”
Mana potions are much more valuable than recovery potions.
After scouring the whole dungeon, we only got to secure five mana potions in total.
‘Quite a pity, but…’
Now was not the time to save.
Eri shook her head even though I had allowed the use of mana potions.
“No, it’s impossible! What you’re saying is to kill the monsters by carefully manipulating the magic missile while looking around with clairvoyance! Do you know how much concentration does that require?! If I misspell, I’ll just faint. But if I lose control of my mana–”
I placed my hands on her delicate shoulders, while she kept repeating that it was impossible.
“Eri, we have to make the impossible possible right now, I know that it’s hard for you, but–”
– Aaaaaah!
A desperate scream echoed in our ears.
Splat!
The sick sound of a man’s body falling from high above resounded.
I looked straight into her eyes and said.
“You gotta do it, Eri.”
Eri’s eyes peered out and went back and forth to the place where the poor guy had just fallen. She bit her lips tightly and gave a bitter expression.
“Okay! Let’s do it! Yeah, do it! Screw whatever is going to happen!”
“I believe in you.”
“Don’t believe in me. I don’t even know if I can do it.”
Eri sighed, caught her breath, and closed her eyes. The indigo jewel at the tip of her wand began to glow.
It means she had started to chant.
I looked back at the other two.
“You guys stay and protect Eri from harm.”
“Us? Cloud, are you going somewhere else?”
“The two of you are ample enough to protect Eri. I have to do what I can.”
After I finished speaking, I immediately jumped off the tower.
“Kihehehehe..?”
The harpy, who was ripping apart the human corpse she had just dropped, looked at me and was startled. She belatedly flapped her wings and tried to escape, but…
It’s late, bird b!tch.
I grabbed the harpy by her neck and launched myself on the roof of the building just opposite the tower.
Now, let’s see if you can still laugh and fly your ass into the sky.
“P-Please forgive me…”
The harpy requested with a quiver.
…?
“What, what did you just say?”
“Yes, yes! Please forgive me, I…”
“Why don’t you go and spit your sh!t somewhere else, b!tch?”
Cruukh-!
I crooked the harpy’s neck and flung it away.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
