Now that our group was near the village, I saw a lot of monsters attacking the villagers, making me worry about Silvie’s condition. I rushed into the village looking for her.
“Everyone!! prepare your weapons,” Braine shouted to everyone loudly.
Hearing this all the guards and adventurers, got out of the carriage and made a neat line.
“We will fight the monsters that come out of the forest, every monster you kill will be yours and the reward you get from the quest will not decrease,”
Hearing this, many adventurers were happy, some adventurers who had been punished were relieved that now they could earn a better living.
“Attack!!!!”
All the guards and adventurers rushed to the wide field in front of the forest, where many monsters were charging.
I’m currently in the village and killed a lot of monsters. I also gained a lot of Battle Points from this.
“Silvie!!! Where are you!!” I screamed with all my might to look for her.
The village is full of monster chaos, luckily the village currently doesn’t seem to have suffered too much damage. Looks like we arrived just in time, otherwise, I’m sure the village will be reduced to rubble if we are a little late.
Worried, I searched around the village and finally found Silvie who was currently fighting monsters, but she didn’t look well.
I who was about to rush there suddenly saw a tiger monster moving towards Silvie and opened its mouth wide.
I couldn’t help but cringe at this moment. I was as fast as I could to get there. Silvie had closed her eyes looking like she had given up. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
I saw her cry, felt a pain in my heart that made me angry, and smashed the tiger’s jaw with the dagger using all my might.
“Roar”
The tiger screamed in pain after I injured it until its mouth was split in two. I breathed a sigh of relief because it was just in time.
Suddenly I felt a very tight hug from behind.
“Uwaaaaa.. uwaaaaa…. Lute I miss you,” Silvie hugged me with all her might.
[+55,000 Love Points]
I was surprised by Silvie hugging me and the Love Point I got.
‘This.. what happened? Did I do something?… didn’t I just save her?’
I was confused by the number of Love Points, I didn’t expect to get this many. It was certain that Silvie liked me now.
Looking at the current Silvie, she was crying really hard and hugged me tightly as if afraid that I would disappear.
Seeing her like this, I just hugged her back too. But I saw the tiger was up now and looked at me angrily, after that the tiger attacked both of us.
I immediately hugged Silvie and dodged. Soaring in the air with Silvie in my arms. I fell down quickly and cut the tiger’s neck.
The tiger’s head detached from its body and fell, the tiger’s body that had lost its head staggered and finally fell.
Silvie was calmer now but still hugged me tightly.
“Hehehe what’s this, do you miss me so much?” I said teasingly.
“Um, I missed you so much, I didn’t want you to leave me,” Silvie looked up at me with her wet eyes.
‘W-what’s this? Her attitude changed drastically, “I was flabbergasted to see it.
My clothes are now flooded with her tears, she looks into my eyes with moist eyes. I look at her face, have the feeling of wanting to protect her from anything.
‘Calm down Lute, there are still a lot of monsters here,’ Thinking so I hugged Silvie and moved to a safe place.
Looking from the rooftops of the residents’ houses, a lot of monsters are still coming out of the forest, but now that’s been taken care of by the group of guards and adventurers. I feel relieved after seeing this.
“Silvie, mom, and the others, where?” I asked curiously.
“They have been evacuated now, they should be safe now,”
I felt like there was now no more problem to worry about, after hearing Silvie’s explanation. The last problem was with the forest, what caused the monsters to come out from there.
“Silvie you have to evacuate too, let us handle the matter here,” I said to Silvie who was still hugging me, not wanting me to leave.
“N-no I don’t want to, are you going to leave me again Lute?” Silvie looked at my face with an expression as if she was about to cry.
I now feel pressured to see her expression, I don’t want to leave her alone.
‘Haah.. looks like I’ll have to use that.’
Since Silvie wanted to come with me, I had to give her a Mana Potion and an HP Potion. Her current condition didn’t look good.
“System gives me Mana Potions and HP Potions too,” I whispered in a small voice.
[Item has been purchased]
Holding the two potions in my hand, one red and the other blue I handed them over to Silvie. Mana Potion and HP Potion cost 1000 Battle Points for one potion. Killing the monster just now gave me enough Battle Points to buy it.
“Alright I won’t leave you, Silvie drink this, this Potion will heal your wounds and replenish your mana,”
Silvie didn’t hesitate and immediately drank it. It seemed that after drinking it she was feeling better now.
“Alright, since you want to come with me, remember don’t go far okay?”I said to warn her.
“Um, I won’t leave Lute,” Silvie replied with a smile.
I just chuckled seeing this. The two of us charged forward to charge the monsters, I would swiftly kill any approaching monsters, Silvie would kill the monsters with her magic from afar.
[+300 Battle Points]
[+400 Battle Points]
[+800 Battle Points]
…..
Lots of monsters and lots of Battle Points that I got, this place is now my place to harvest Battle Points.
After a long fight, the monsters finally seemed to start to shrink in number. They no longer attacked the village, some ran in another direction.
“Huft it’s finally over, but I have an unpleasant feeling, it seems there is something else,”
I muttered and looked around, but all I saw were corpses of monsters. The group of guards and adventurers had also finished.
I only saw Braine, who was still on guard, looking into the forest.
Sure enough, a strong wind started to blow, the trees in the forest started to fall and suddenly something flew from within the forest and fell over a large area.
It was a creature that had the body of a lion, the wings of a bat, the tail of a scorpion with porcupine spines around it. Its head was a human head that looked like an old man.
I saw goosebumps all over my body, it was a Manticore Monster. The Manticore was a Rank A monster that was impossible in the forest around here. They were usually in the forest close to the Devil’s territory.
“Hahahahaha, I didn’t expect anyone to know, I would attack the village,” It was the voice of someone above the Manticore’s head.
Above the Manticore was a man who had one horn on his head, with slightly gray skin. There was no mistaking it, the man on top of the Manticore was from the demon race.
“I originally planned to destroy the village near the city, but I didn’t expect anyone to find out,” the demon said.
“What are your plans to destroy the villages around the city? Is this an order from your king?” Brainne shouted glumly.
“You mean the Demon Lord? Hahaha, she is too scared to attack other races, we are a different group, my master will now become the next Demon Lord and make that woman a prostitute for himself,” The demon laughed out loud.
‘Tch I thought so, although Demon Lord is an evil title for other races, actually in the story, she is a good person, but because the territory they live in is less fertile, making their people suffer, and they have to seize another territory to live in.”
‘When I completed the Demon King’s route, there was a group of demons who didn’t accept the current Demon King’s attitude, they ended up planning to replace the current demon lord with a new one,’
“Looks like I also have to solve the problem that befell the demon territory, I’ll go there later,” I started to think of my plan.
Brainne was irritated by his rambling, but he didn’t care about the conflict the demons had, he immediately rushed towards the Manticore.
“Thunderstorm,”
The sky began to rumble as lightning began to gather around Braine, instantly casting spells at the Manticore.
From the sky lightning struck the Manticore violently, the Manticore only received a few injuries, while the person above the Manticore’s head was seriously injured.
“Hahaha I thought you were strong but you can only control that Manticore,” Braine laughed mockingly.
“Ugh… you damn bastard I’ll kill you Manticore attack him,” The demon shouted commanding the Manticore.
“Roar,”
The Manticore charged at him with its tail spitting out porcupine spikes, Brainne dodged it by flying through the air. If someone was strong enough they could usually fly through the air freely using mana.
“Thunder Pillar”
Four pillars made of lightning surrounded the Manticore and began to attack it.
“Dammit [Dark Barrier],” The demon cast a spell to protect himself. The Manticore also started to dodge the lightning and attacked Braine, a fierce battle raging in midair.
The group of guards and adventurers could only retreat seeing this, if they were hit by an attack, they were sure to die instantly.
Silvie and I also tried to dodge this battle, but Brainne was suddenly hit by a Manticore’s attack and was sent crashing downwards.
The poisonous spines of the Manticore tried to attack the group of guards and adventurers who were trying to escape. Brainne tried to stop the attack, but there were still a few that couldn’t be stopped and one of them was aimed at Silvie.
I saw this got scared and pushed Silvie so hard that she fell.
*Puchi*
A sharp thorn pierced my chest in an instant and blood spurted onto Silvie’s shirt.
