Chapter 100.1: Snow White Holy Knight

TN: Check out my new project too! The Replacement for Suicidal Undead catches up with the raw.

◆Member of Brown Bear’s Mercenary; Remus

「DAMNIT!! WHY ARE WE STARTING LAST, REMUS!!?」

Torx complained while glaring toward me.

Torx seems to be vexed by the decision since he was a strong guy.

「No matter what you say… it’s been decided that way, it got nothing to do with me…」

I replied while shaking my head.

Though for some reason, Torx was pissed off about our turn to enter the forest, I mean why would he want to rush into a forest full of monsters?.

We, the brown bear mercenary, had to start later than the other mercenaries.

For a warrior, going as vanguard was an honor. Thus we, the brown bear mercenary, were proud of the fact that we might get the chance to fight as the vanguard.

But then, the other warrior felt the same way as us.

Every mercenary was quarreling about who would go first as the vanguard.

And then, after the discussion via Black Haired Sage-sama’s mediation, we managed to get a peaceful solution.

And as a result, our group happened to be the last one to enter.

Thus, the brown bear mercenary, especially the young one, was dissatisfied by that fact.

In fact, I, Charis and our leader, Arcas participated as the representative from our group.

And since they couldn’t show their dissatisfaction to Charis or our leader, their anger was pointed toward me.

「You useless weak ass!!! If I make you unable to speak, what’ll be left of you!?」

Torx kept cursing me.

The other young members of the group joined too.

「WAIT A MINUTE!! YOU CAN’T BLAME REMUS FOR THE REASON WHY OUR TURN COMES LAST!! IT’S DECIDED BY BLACK HAIRED SAGE-SAMA!!」

Charis walked forward, turned around and then scolded them.

Yeah, it’s just as Charis had said.

Black Haired Sage, Chiyuki-sama was the one who nominated us to go last.

As for the reason, Sage-sama didn’t tell us why we had to go last.

But, someone with a brilliant mind like Sage-sama might have her own reason for doing that.

「TCH!! I KNEW THAT YOUNG MISS!!」

Torx backed down after he received a warning from Charis.

「Rather than wasting our time in this way, we should hurry up and catch up to our seniors!!」

Charis raised her voice.

The veteran warriors led by the leader Arcas were walking faster than our group. In the blink of eyes, they had already left the young group behind.

If Charis was right, she might want to go to the frontline too.

But, Arcas, her father ordered her to lead the younger group.

Thus, Charis matched her pace with us.

We followed Charis from behind as we advanced even further into the forest.

Was it because we’re the last one that no monster came after us?

The corpses of giant insect-like monsters and the warriors who came before us were strewn all over the place.

Those traces were enough to tell me just how brutal the fight was.

「Everyone halt!!!」

Suddenly, Charis stopped everyone.

When I looked in front of Charis, there were a lot of monster corpses in there.

But, that was the same spectacle that we saw so far.

Thus, I started to think what had stopped Charis from moving forward?

「Is something the matter, Young Miss? There’s nothing ahead of us.」

One of the members of the group, Deknos, came forward and asked such a question.

He was the biggest and tallest one in our mercenary group, his hobby was gathering the heads of monsters.

Even now, his body was covered with the severed head of goblins that we killed along the way, acting as a makeshift shield.

「RETREAT!! DEKNOS!!!」

And then, it happened the moment Charis warned Deknos.

Something flew out from inside the stomach of one of the warrior’s corpses.

「FUEEH?」

And that was Deknos’ last word.

The thing that flew out pierced his head and killed him almost instantly.

Deknos’ body fell back as blood spurted from his head.

「IS THAT A GOBLIN!!!? I CAN’T FEEL THEIR PRESENCE AT ALL!!」

Torx shouted.

Torx had the ability to detect enemy presence. And he who had such abilities actually failed to feel their presence.

The goblin who killed Deknos wore a red hat as it sneered toward us.

This goblin might be planning to ambush us from behind by hiding in the mountain of corpses, making full use of its small body.

To be honest, that was such a close call.

And then, the goblin with red hat retreated.

「WAIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!」

Torx and a few other warriors were chasing after that goblin with red hat.

「YOU FOOL!! WAIT RIGHT THERE!!」

Charis was calling them with a flustered voice.

Her shout stopped the other warriors from following after Torx.

「THERE!!」

The enraged Charis then threw her ax.

Her ax landed right at the goblin that was hiding between human corpse and monster corpse.

It seems there was more than one goblin who used that tactic.

「EVERYONE, DRAW YOUR WEAPON!!」

Charis walked quickly to retrieve her thrown ax and readied her ax again.

Her eyes shed golden light. Charis’ leopard inspiration possessed far more powerful presence detection than any other beast’s inspiration.

The other hidden red hat goblin then comes one after another out of their hiding place. It seems they knew that they had to change their tactic.

I felt cold running down my spine upon imagining what would become of us if we passed this place as it was?

If not for Charis, all of us might die this time.

Thus, all of us raised our weapons, ready to fight our enemies.

Torx and co had already left us behind. So we had to fight these goblins with only half of us.

◆Black Haired Sage; Chiyuki

We were entering the barrier and looking at the situation inside the forest from the sky.

「This is bad, Chiyuki-san!! They’re going to be annihilated for sure!!」

Nao said so while looking at the freedom fighters who fought in the forest below.

「Most likely… Goblin’s forte is their well coordinated teamwork after all. Maybe we need to do something about that.」

What a blunder. Had I known this would happen, I should just use force to stop them.

Looking at the battle with my farsighted magic, the freedom fighters were killed one after another by the《Red Cap》 goblins.

《Red Cap》goblin was a far more powerful and brutal type compared to normal goblins.

Their attire had already dyed red with human blood.

Some of the 《Red Cap》 goblins that we fought in the past wore tunics made from human skin.

That goblin gave an overwhelming maliciousness.

Aside from those goblins, there were also numerous insect-type monsters.

There was no way the 5000 freedom fighters of our side could win this battle.

「The one who can somehow deal with this situation is only those veteran like Arcas-san and co.」

Upon hearing Shirone’s remark, I shifted my gaze and saw the mercenaries who wore demon beast pelt fought against the incoming monsters.

They’re the warrior who gained special power called the beast’s inspiration by drawing a tattoo on their body with the blood of demon beast.

Arcas who gained the strength of bear demon beast fought valiantly.

He kept defeating one demon beast after another.

But, they alone were far from enough to tide the flow of the battle to our side.

It seems Charis was also doing a good job.

But, the other warriors around her weren’t that powerful. They ended up becoming a hindrance for her.

It seems Remus was also safe and sound. I guess we could save them now.

「Hey, what are you going to do, Reiji-san? Our side is slowly being cornered.」

Rino asked Reiji with an anxious look on her face.

「I guess helping everyone to evacuate will be a tough job. But, let’s try to save as much as possible.」

Reiji replied with a serious look on his face.

「 Then, let’s use voice amplification magic to tell them to withdra— REIJI-KUN?!!!」

It happened the moment I was about to invoke voice amplification magic.

Brilliant arrow of light was speeding toward Reiji at breakneck speed.

My reaction was delayed since the arrow was simply too fast..

「It’s okay Chiyuki.」

But then, it seems my worries were useless since Reiji was uninjured.

It was a surprise attack but, it seems Reiji had already prepared in time.

If it was me, that arrow would’ve already killed me. A chill running down my spine upon imagining that arrow was aimed toward me.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

「Hou, you defended against that eh. Not bad.」

When I looked at the direction where that arrow came from, I saw a man with wings growing from his back was speeding to our position.

He had a pair of wings growing from his back but he didn’t seem like an angel.

The man with wings growing from his back had tanned skin, and was wearing shiny, golden accessories on his body. Honestly, the shiny accessories were too bright for my eyes.

「Our name is Harsesh. I’m the ruler of Gypseal as the son of Ushals. Now it’s time to deci——-BOGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!」

The man with tanned skin was then blown away by Reiji’s light cannon.

“Light Cannon ” was the weaker version of “Light Cannon of Heavenly Might”.

I guess things won’t end peacefully.

「Reiji-kun. That guy seems to be trying to say something…」

「I don’t care, it seems to be long and troublesome.」

Reiji replied with a smile on his face.

It seems Reiji knew that his attack just now was far from enough to finish off the other party.

「Wait, Reiji-san!! There’s something over there!!」

There were several shadows in the place Shirone was pointing at.

「That brat from desert got defeated eh…」

「He’s the youngest amongst us after all. He definitely has no qualification to compete for Rena.」

「Things seem to be looking good, Hero of Light. I absolutely won’t approve your relationship with Heavenly Beauty, Rena.」

「That’s absolutely right!! Someone like you is unsuited for Rena-chan!! Rena-chan is MINE!!」

「Well then, shall we throw the gauntlet?」

Those shadows start talking amongst themselves.

「What are they going to do…」

「For some reason, they seems to resent Reiji-san…」

Nao and Rino spoke with an anxious voice.

「This does not look good. I never expected for them to lie in waiting…」

I readied my cane.

◆Goblin’s Prince; Goz

「Tch!! What are those useless humans doing?!!」

In the image projected in the magic mirror, the human side was beaten up so badly.

I was ordered by my mother to command the bug soldier and goblin to fight the human.

The human was almost annihilated by the tactic of the goblins.

I massaged my temple upon seeing that.

「We only have our elite left…」

The golden bug warriors left by the SIlver Witch were left as our trump card.

I mean, those humans would surely get annihilated if we sent those golden bug warriors too.

But, I cannot allow that to happen.

I thought that the red cap and ordinary bug warrior was enough.

But then, those humans were weaker than I expected.

I had to do something to help those humans since they would become my way to escape from my mother.

If those humans got annihilated, I wouldn’t be able to use my disguise magic to slip amongst their rank and escape from my mother.

She might notice my escape attempt but, did I have any other choice than disguising myself as a human to escape?

Anyhow, let’s see my mother’s state for now.
