The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me

Chapter 4: First Revenge (7)

Meanwhile, the princess received an urgent message from Count Calen.

– Now we are under siege. Please send reinforcements soon.

‘How’s it going?’

It was absurd.

Of course, there was an element of anxiety in this battle even before the battle. In particular, it was expected that the ‘Great Edmund Party’ they gathered would not be able to kill Edmund.

However, she decided that Speth could be captured separately from him.

The imperial army she sent was a veteran who had accumulated experience fighting the demons for the past three years, and her commander, Count Calen, was also a competent person who had made achievements on the front line.

Thus, the scenario the princess had in mind was to capture Speth, but escape without killing Edmund. And the princess herself sent someone to bring Edmund who escaped like that secretly.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that even capturing the space has failed.

“Why the hell… ….”

The princess, who was enraged while holding her crystal ball tightly, eventually contacted Count Callen.

After a while, the figure of Count Kallen fighting hard in the chaotic battle came into the crystal ball.

“What happened?”

“That, that… You fell into a trap dug by the enemy. Most of the Imperial Army was trapped in the pit, and the Speth Army took advantage of this time to launch an all-out attack….”

“How on earth did you manage to trap so many Imperial troops at once?”

“Oh, a huge magic circle was drawn in the vacant lot. But the wizards couldn’t confirm it.”

“Does that make sense now? Where is the head of the Blue Magic Tower now?”

“… ….”

Hesitantly, Count Calen.

“Answer me!”

“That’s it, Calia-sama and Edmund… It seems to have gone after him.”

“Did the other party members go with you?”

“… It seems so.”

The princess had a sore throat. No, then didn’t they leave the battlefield to catch Edmund in the meantime?

“… Can I get out now?”

“Imperial forces who were already fighting on top of the pit have either died or fled. At this rate, maybe…….”

“Okay. Send reinforcements urgently. Just hold on a little longer.”

After her communication ended, the princess let out a long sigh.

Where did it go wrong? Was it a problem that Calia was forced to enter only with the merit of being a hero?

Did I underestimate Edmund? Or did the Imperial army depend on Edmund that much?

‘… I couldn’t believe there was no answer like this.’

Of course, even in the war against the demons, Edmund’s tactics always shined.

Especially, you did a good job of suppressing Calia’s outrage.

But no matter how much it was, I didn’t know that Edmund’s personal influence would be so great. On the contrary, I didn’t know that the imperial army would be such a mess.

‘What kind of fight have we been fighting until now?’

The princess realizes how brilliant Edmund is.

But now was not the time to be sentimental.

She sent the message right away.

“Did you call?”

Soon, the Imperial Guard gathered in front of her through teleportation.

The number of people summoned this time is 20 wizards and 30 knights. 50 People in total.

At first glance, the number is disproportionately small, but the fighting power of each member could be evaluated as the best in the empire.

Especially in defense, few could follow them.

“Imperial forces went to the White Forest and asked for help. Your mission is to help the Imperials escape. You know what to do?”

“I will follow your orders.”

The wizards of the royal guard quickly activated the teleportation magic circle after receiving the coordinates from the princess that the imperial army had fallen into a trap.

After they went to the White Forest, a wizard appeared behind her.

“To think that even the imperial guards were deployed. It seems like a pretty urgent situation.”

“Three corps have been deployed now. I can’t wait to lose everything like this.”

“Then what should I do?”

Unlike usual, Mina asked with a rather serious expression. That’s how serious the situation was.

“Go and make Speth-kun retreat. And if the Imperial Army got out safely, pursue Edmund’s party and find Edmund.”

“… As you know, I cannot recklessly attack Edmund.”

“Yes, I know. So please talk to me.”

“Is there a good number?”

“I will set conditions that he will like. Do what I tell you to do.”

The princess gave her card, which she offered to Edmund. Mina’s eyes widened after hearing her story, but she didn’t argue anymore.

“Then let me ask you one more question. If the Edmund Assassins killed Edmund, what should we do?”

“… Is this a serious question?”

“… Change the question. So, if Calia is on a rampage, what should she do?”

This is a possible situation. The princess said after a moment of hesitation.

“Arrest by order of the princess.”

***

10 Minutes elapsed.

Calia was still alive.

The warrior’s protection seems to prevent drowning.

Does she feel her pain… I do not know.

She continued to struggle with a frown on her face, but it was difficult to tell whether she was doing this because of the pain of drowning or just going crazy to get free.

Well, it could be both.

‘Anyway, I’d like you to stay there until the holy sword disappears like this.’

Calia’s hands were tied so that she could not hold the holy sword. And still she can’t even break her chains.

If left as it is, even if it’s Calia, she’ll gradually lose her stamina, and eventually she’ll collapse from exhaustion.

Charleureureuk!!!

But at that moment, a change occurred at the bottom of the lake.

The holy sword, which had been stuck in the bottom, suddenly rose upward.

Then the holy sword began cutting the ropes that bound its master.

‘Haa, after all, a hero is a hero.’

There was nothing strange about it. Didn’t the demon king remotely control the sword? So, I thought that the corresponding Holy Sword could have a similar function.

The reason Calia hasn’t been able to use it for a while is probably because she didn’t have enough skills.

But now, driven into a predicament, it seems that the gears have awakened.

After being freed from the rope, Calia grabbed her holy sword with both her hands and began to control her holy sword to go upstairs.

Splash!!!

“Fuhuaaa!!!”

And the next moment, she rose out of the water with the holy sword.

Before long she landed on the ground and she looked at me with her searing eyes.

“I will kill you!!!!”

Calia screams loudly and charges.

At that moment, she stepped on the magic circle trap.

Charrr!

Suddenly, Calia was pulled straight into the ground.

In an instant, she was completely buried in the ground, leaving only her head.

The Holy Sword was also completely submerged in the ground except for the tip of the blade.

Another experiment was started to see if she could get out if she was buried.

Wheeeing…….

The results came much earlier than the first experiment.

This time, the holy sword started to move left and right little by little, and then it started spinning round and round as if it had been drilled.

‘f*ck, this is too much.’

I immediately tried to stop the movement of the holy sword by using telekinesis magic.

But that wasn’t enough to stop the holy sword spinning like crazy.

Eventually, the holy sword managed to rescue her by digging into the ground around Calia, after she herself came out first.

‘In the end, the damn goddess is on your side?’

For a moment, I had this thought. If the goddess was reckless, no matter how much I flew and ran, there was no answer.

As long as the holy sword is there, Calia will never get hurt.

Chae Ae-Aeng!!! Chaeeng!!!

Is that why? Unlike before, which was her performance, this time she really started to lose in swordsmanship.

It was an attack from Calia, who was still blinded by rage and couldn’t find anything like her sophistication.

Of course, I kept preparing traps just in case.

Push yi…….

Once again, Calia stepped on her smoke screen magic, limiting her vision.

I took advantage of that opportunity to step back and reorganize.

Wheeaeaeaejuek!!!

But at that moment, I had to hurriedly correct my posture and block the attack from the holy sword that flew through the fog.

Suddenly, the battle with the demon king came to mind.

‘Let’s focus. It’s more advantageous than back then.’

No matter how awakened Calia was, it was nothing compared to the demon king’s overwhelming fighting power, and unlike that time, she was not in a situation where she had to protect her luggage.

Of course, my condition wasn’t as good as back then, but it was a fight worth fighting for.

“Don’t run away!! How long are you going to hide like a mouse!!”

Calia drew the holy sword again and appeared through her fog. I didn’t back down either.

If the goddess isn’t playing pranks, the holy sword should disappear soon. So, I was thinking of going as well.

Shiui!! Hey hey profit!!

Now, in terms of her strength, she was superior to me, so I did not recklessly cross swords. Instead, he evaded attacks based on her sluggishness from swinging her sword too hard.

“aaa!!!!”

Calia screaming. She swung the sword even harder, but it was to my advantage.

Just because he was a hero didn’t mean he had infinite stamina. So, continuing to drain her power was also a strategy.

“… This f*cking bastard Die now!”

I wonder if 30 minutes have passed. Calia was still swinging her sword with all her might.

The usual Calia would have spread long ago, but today was different.

She didn’t show any signs of getting tired, but rather, the speed with which she swung her sword increased.

Thanks to her

, I faced her crisis several times, but each time I lured her into her trap at the right place and bought her time.

Of course, her traps didn’t have much effect on her now that she was able to use her holy sword completely.

As a result, I was the one who became more and more anxious.

Anxiety was creeping in. I had an ominous thought again.

Is the goddess really trying to kill me through Calia? After all, is it impossible for me, who was abandoned by the goddess, to defeat Calia, who was chosen by the goddess?

Of course, these idle thoughts are unnecessary in battle. So I had to shake it off, but it didn’t come off easily.

As time passed, the one who showed gaps became rather me.

And in the end, the gear coil exploded.

Sweet love!!!

Calia’s blow that could not be avoided. I struggled to block it with my sword.

“Quick!!!”

But my sword never broke even after fighting the demon king for 2 hours. You betrayed me at the most important moment.

Seeing that, Calia’s expression widened for the first time.

“Ha ha! Look! After all, the Goddess wants your death!”

She said as she struck her next blow.

I’m already tired of avoiding it. Therefore, I tried to block her blow by activating the barrier.

That moment.

Shaaa…….

The holy sword that flew towards my head was suddenly enveloped in a blue glow.

Then it turned into light powder and disappeared before it even touched me.

Calia’s arm, which she swung proudly, cut through the air.

“… Under?”

Calia suffered a brain freeze because it happened too quickly.

On the contrary, I smiled triumphantly.

“Doesn’t it seem like the goddess doesn’t look after you anymore?”

Ulta taunted her by grabbing her by the collar.

Then he put her fist right in her face.
