Chapter 134 – 134. Accompanying beings
A point away from the mountain village where the Marias tribe is said to be based.
The base where the kingdom’s tents were stretched out clearly caught my eye. Not only are there sentries standing there, but there are also sturdy barriers built with locally sourced materials.
It was so elaborate and reliable that it was hard to believe that it was a base created in just a few days.
However, the morale of the soldiers was unusually low.
The eyes of those who came to meet me were haggard, and their bodies were weak.
The moment I saw it, I thought of an army with nothing to eat, but since the kingdom’s army is fighting in its own territory, there will be no problem with food supplies.
“You’re here.”
Gloria Grace, the commander of the knights of the Royal Guard with red hair, greeted me calmly.
The aides next to him simply bowed their heads, but there was no special welcome ceremony.
In fact, even more than that, looking at her face, I remembered what I had decided to say at the last drinking party held at the royal family.
“I heard there was an assassination on the way. Are you okay?”
“It was sent by traitors who crossed into the forest. No problem.”
Some knights bite their teeth as if they are offended by my words. The fact that the traitorous nobles who had gone over to the Great Forest of Marias went one step further and even sent assassins was enough information to make them angry.
“I want to get straight to the point. “I heard you were defeated by Daejeonsa.”
Commander Grace and the other knights immediately flinched. In particular, the knights around her did not hide their discomfort.
This is a battlefield.
They probably know the military hierarchy much better than I do.
Because it seemed like he still didn’t realize that I was a special being recognized by His Majesty.
[Keeeeeeek!]
[Ouch! Ouch!]
[Help me! Please save me!]
I manipulate my mana so that I can hear only the screams of the ghosts currently wandering around in this tent.
It was an application of necromancy learned from a dark spirit, especially creating a kind of atmosphere that only I, who could see all the dead, could use.
Seeing this, the dark spirit referred to it as [the art of pretending to be a sinister man].
Suddenly, a scream echoes from inside the tent, causing the knights to tremble and look at me.
“Should I look after you because defeat is humiliating?”
It was a kind of warning.
A firm declaration not to arbitrarily overtake my position.
There was no way the guards would not have noticed this, and they lowered their heads and said nothing.
“I apologize. Sorry. “We warriors are naturally sensitive to winning and losing.”
Gloria, who is actually innocent, stands up and bows her head deeply to me.
Seeing this, the other knights flinch again and turn their eyes to the side as if dizzy.
‘You did that on purpose.’
Gloria also took the initiative to prevent the knights from treating me carelessly.
You have personally demonstrated that I will be shamed if you do not do well.
“Okay, I’ll take it.”
As we move on cleanly, Gloria also raises her head. I thought she would hear her explanation right away, but that wasn’t the case.
“Saint Lucia will also come here in about two hours. I’ll explain it to you then. “I think it will take quite a while.”
“… … I get it.”
“I would give you a separate tent. “I can’t even give the maid and the boy his own tent.”
“I don’t want to go that far. “You two can stay in the same tent as me.”
“Then Walter will guide you right away. “Please wait there for a moment.”
A knight named Walter walked straight ahead. He gave a rude salute and immediately politely accepted me.
“You can follow me, Master.”
Definitely a different treatment.
I followed him to the huge tent that had already been pitched for me.
Findenai and Owen, who were waiting, are also invited and go together.
Walter, who had guided me to the tent, saluted again and carefully walked backwards out of the tent.
“Are you sure of your discipline?”
Findeneye sticks out its tongue and mutters that it is fascinating. While Findeneye and Owen unpacked, I went back out of the tent.
Although I couldn’t see the enemy’s stronghold here, I could still feel a strange energy.
A sense other than mana.
The feeling that huge nature was glaring at us was similar to the pressure felt by the mountains of the North Weden Mountains.
‘As expected, Horua, the guardian deity, is intervening.’
It has similar power to the mountain army, but since it comes from outside the Great Forest of Marias, it may not be as powerful.
I thought that maybe they were joining forces with a man called the Great Warrior.
‘Then what is the goal?’
They came under the pretense of avenging the warchief and the people of Setima, but in reality, it was a meagre task.
It’s not like he was swayed by the sugarcoat of all the kingdom’s nobles and decided to fight a huge monster called a griffin.
It occurred to me that there might be another reason for this war, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
Time passed like that.
They said it would be two hours, but it was already late and the sun had already set and it was night.
Only then did the carriage carrying the saint arrive at the base.
and.
“Wow!”
“You are a saint!”
“Saint Lucia!”

“God is with you! This battle will be won!”
A large crowd welcoming Lucia. The soldiers, who had been exhausted until just now, worn down by fatigue and the cruelty of war, cheer for the saint.
It was a passage that helped us understand why King Orpheus bothered to dispatch Lucia here.
“Wow, he’s the complete opposite of the owner.”
[It is absurd that the treatment is so different.]
“Well, to me, the memorial master is the best!”
Findeneye, the dark spirit, and Owen each gave their own reactions.
Although the saintess and I were clearly in the same position, the treatment we received from those around us was completely different.
It wasn’t that I was disappointed or anything like that.
Suddenly, I think of Stella sleeping inside me. She’s probably still sleeping well.
She just hoped that the heat of the battlefield and the screams of the dead would not disturb her sleep.
“It will take a moment. “Let’s wait in the direction of the command barracks.”
The knight commander, Gloria, is also awkward at this reaction, so she guides me around.
Well, I didn’t really care, so I followed Gloria and instructed Findeneye and Owen to return to my barracks.
So after a while.
Lucia, who appeared amid cheers from the soldiers, comes inside smiling awkwardly.
“It’s been a while, Deius. And Gloria.”
Saint Lucia, whose silver hair color was still impressive, greeted me with an elegant smile.
If I were to be specific, it was a similar hair color to Finden Eye, but the vibe itself was completely opposite.
If that is a beast, this is a girl.
It could be organized just like that.
“Especially Deius. Thank you for your work at Elijah Convent. “I heard everything the Mother Superior said.”
“Okay, hang it up.”
Gloria looked astonished at my answer, but Lucia chuckled, saying it was natural.
Then he took a step towards me and asked me in a whisper, but I could hear everything because I was inside the tent.
“Have you found rest, Stella?”
“Yes, you must be quite tired, so you will need to sleep for a while.”
“I see, I’m glad.”
Lucia smiles and slightly bows her head in gratitude. I received it without attaching much significance to it.
Excited.
‘hmm?’
For a moment, I felt like something had hit my chest. But if you ask me if something has changed, no.
It felt like someone else’s emotions, not my own, had hit me.
And it seemed like some kind of complaint.
‘… … Are you being grumpy for no reason just because we are both saints?’
Since I was not oblivious, I kept a slight distance from Lucia so as not to make Stella’s tossing and turning while she was sleeping more rough.
Lucia tilted her head, wondering what was the problem, but anyway.
“Then I will now explain the situation.”
Although it was a little late, Gloria’s explanation began. The situation itself was actually simple.
They fought against the Marias to subdue them, but were defeated, and they established a base by widening the distance from their base.
It was simple, but the content contained within it was heavy.
“Actually, the other personnel are not much of a threat. Although he is an excellent warrior, he is laughable compared to ours. But the most pivotal… … “It’s the great warrior Balkzar.”
Gloria’s voice breaks down a bit. A reaction that lets you know that you’ve had quite a hard time.
“That guy is truly outside the standard. To the point where I couldn’t even compete properly in a few matches and lost. “I’ve never seen a man for whom the term ‘one-man army’ fits so well.”
“One man army… … .”
Lucia made a subtle expression as she pondered what was being said. Although Lucia was an outsider in battle, she knew the strength of her childhood friend Gloria, so it must have been her first time seeing her friend so discouraged.
“Strategy and tactics become ineffective in front of him. “It doesn’t use mana, but uses other powers, and its mobility when the red wings on its back burst out is beyond imagination.”
Horua’s wings.
Horua, who had also abandoned the Great Forest of Marias, seemed to have descended directly on the great warrior.
“… … !”
[uh?]
“wait for a sec.”
At that moment, the dark spirit priest, me, and the saintess all looked at the outside of the tent at the same time. The knight commander noticed the tempo a bit late.
And then a torrent scream pours out.
As soon as we came out of the tent, we were greeted by a man with bronze skin and vicious tattoos.
Flames like hot waves surround it, and blazing wings are reminiscent of Icarus from the myth.
And its owner, Great Warrior Balkzar.
Warriors riding on Lizards pouring in behind him were engaging in mobile warfare against the knights.
Balkzar’s shout echoes throughout the barracks.
“Among you! Who is Deius Verdi? Come out and receive my spear!”
Because I was singled out and nominated, the eyes of the three people were directly focused on me.
[Now, wait a moment. Don’t react and hide for now.]
“Please fall back with me. “You are not a warrior, so there is no need to fight.”
“Get behind me.”
The dark spirit and Lucia tried to hide me, and Gloria became a barrier and drew her sword to protect me.
Just then, Finden Eye, who had come out from outside the tent, was also approaching this way.
I responded by gently pushing Lucia away.
“I am the Commander-in-Chief, Deius Verdi.”
The hunter’s gaze is focused precisely on it. As soon as my eyes met his, Balkzar snorted and pounded the floor with his spear.
“If only you were so good! Let’s compete in dance with me! “This great warrior will measure your skills!”
“Nonsense!”
Gloria was taken aback when I heard that I wanted to share my diary, but stopped me.
My eyes were focused solely on him, and he was only looking at me.
Steps are taken forward. She ignores the cries of the dark spirit and Lucia, and she passes by Gloria as well, saying it’s okay.
The last Finden Eye.
She runs in front of me, thinks for a moment, sighs, and throws the ax to the floor, smashing it into the ground.
It was a signal not to intervene.
“Are you confident you can win?”
At that question, I glanced at Balkzar and snorted.
“He is a weakling who borrows his strength.”
Findeneye must have liked my evaluation very much. He smiled loudly and nodded.
“I am just a weakling. When you come, I’ll give you a massage, owner. “Let’s ask Owen to sleep outside the tent.”
“… … “Please refrain from saying things like that in front of Owen later.”
Subtle glances coming from behind. Gloria and Lucia, who had been worried about me just now, were looking at me strangely.
“And in front of other people too.”
“Is this my pleasure?”
Just saying those words already makes me feel demoralized. I just ignored it and walked towards the stage with great strides.
I stand in front of Balkzar, who is glaring at me with his wings of flame spread.
“The spirits of our ancestors, the guardian god Horua. “You’re walking with some pretty great people.”
“… … .”
As soon as I stood in front, the atmosphere changed.
Balkzar’s eyes, which had been confident until just now, started to tremble slightly.
There was no need to do anything.
Because the souls of the ancestors who were already attached to Balkzar were trembling in fear and trying to run away, and Horua’s power was weak and was being pushed back.
Is it because they are in a position of borrowing power? Or is it because of my sense of smell like that of an animal living in the great forest?
Balkzar seemed to have noticed something, and bit his thick lips and asked.
“Then what on earth are you walking with?”
“It’s no big deal.”
Even though the soul of Dina, who was a monster surgeon, was captured separately, Balkzar would just snort at her.
but.
“A former saint who became starlight… … .”
A being that no one here would dare touch. A sleeping monster that happened to be inside me.
Balkzar feels good.
Even if it’s good, it’s too good.
He even received the energy of Horua, and gained a sense that was close to semi-precognition.
That became a defeat.
“There must be a deformed archdemon.”
That’s probably why he recognized the energy of the archdemon Velika sleeping within me along with the saint.
