135-Haruka and the Four Heroes (2 7)




 
 The god of the other world will transfer me to the girl who called "me" - Tina.

 God's transference was like running through a pitch-black tunnel at an incredible speed. And after a few seconds, the surroundings became brighter.

 There's a wolf-like demon with a lot of gaps in front of me.
 It's a demon called War Wolf.

 That guy was devouring the entrails of a man lying on the ground. I realize that the wolf is definitely an enemy of humans.

 I'm going to be the one who swung the sword that God gave me as a service to that wolf's neck with all my might.

 The head of the wolf falls to the ground with a dull sound.

 For the first time in his life, 'I' was upset that he had killed an animal.

 However, I heard the girl's screams and quickly moved my body. The War Wolf is a demon of about level 60. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

 It seems that as the level goes up, some injuries are healed and even more abnormal conditions are cured. The effect of this is to reduce agitation and fear, and the "I" is able to move.

 There was a carriage a little distance away, and a few mercenaries were fighting with the war wolves as if they were guarding its cargo.

''It's a half-elf bought with a hundred gold coins! Defend it absolutely and defend it!

 A fat man dressed as a merchant cheered the surrounding mercenaries. However, the demons surrounding them were overwhelmingly stronger.

''Geez!''
They're too fast.
d*mn it, my arm.

 There were seven wolf demons in total. The one I killed and the mercenaries seemed to have killed two of them, but there were still four wolves left.

 Another wolf bit into the neck of the mercenary who had blocked the wolf's attack with his sword and pulled him down to the ground. His jugular was torn out and the mercenary quickly stopped moving. He must have been the leader. The rest of the mercenaries were losing their leadership and were dwindling in numbers.

 And there were only merchants left.

''No, stop! It's coming!

 Such cries couldn't reach the demon and he was attacked by three wolves. In fact, at this time, 'I' had disappeared from his attention and approached and quietly killed one of the wolves.

 Thanks to the sword God gave me, I was able to behead the demon without making a sound.

 The three remaining wolves were devouring the merchant's body. In the meantime, 'I' climbed into the back of the carriage.

 There was Tina, trembling with tears streaming down her face.

''Don't worry, I'll definitely help you.''

 He gently stroked Tina's head and thrust the sword into the chains that bound her hands. As expected of a sword given by God. She was able to cut the iron chains without any difficulty.

''Ah, who are you?''

I'm Haruto. You called me. Come on, let's get out of here!

 He took Tina's hand and went to the entrance of the loading bay. From there, I looked out and saw that the three wolves were still swarming the merchant's body.

 First I climbed down from the back of the cart, then I quietly lowered Tina down and tried to escape, but...


 There was no way the wolf demons with their superior sense of smell and hearing would miss it.

 With our backs to the carriage, Tina and 'me' were surrounded by wolves. I hid Tina behind myself and used my sword to keep them in check.

 Tina is trembling.

 I have to protect this girl at all costs.


 The moment I thought that strongly, I was filled with energy.

 The only skill God gave me, the "Guardian" skill, has been activated. This skill means that when the thing to protect is behind you, all of your statuses will be doubled.

 The 'I' who had reached level 38 after defeating the two War Wolves had become a level 76 equivalent status with the activation of the 'Guardian'.

 One of the wolves, which was not supposed to know that, pounced on me. Thanks to the increased status, the attack feels slower.

 I catch that guy's claws with my sword and slide my sword into the torso that passes by 'me'. The guy who fell to the ground while smashing his guts into the ground didn't get up anymore.

 Two more...

 I thought there were only two demons left.


 This made me feel careless.

 In fact, the boss of the group was hiding. I was hit by a fireball from the war wolf boss, wounding my right arm and causing me to drop my sword.

 There are some high-level wolves that can use magic. I'm sure the newcomer to the scene, I couldn't have known that.

 The boss sacrificed his friends and shot a fireball at a time when I certainly couldn't avoid it. There was only one enemy left, but I was in no condition to wield a sword.

 The War Wolf boss is slowly approaching in front of me, holding my blackened, motionless right arm in his left hand.

 My companions are gone, but I can do whatever I want with my wounded prey - as if to say so with ease.

 Compared to other wolves, its body is vastly larger. I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it.


Gugia?

 The boss's eyes widen.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

 The fact that it was hidden from view at first made me realize that this War Wolf boss had quite a bit of intelligence. Therefore, if you drop your sword and make him think he can't fight anymore, he will drop his guard - that's what I decided to do, and I decided on a desperate strategy.


 I managed to defeat all the demons.

 However, the "me" also suffered a very deep wound. His right hand was severely burned and couldn't move at all, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing from the part where he was bitten by the boss.

 Tina is crying.

 She's holding my head and desperately chanting heels to help me breathe easier.

 But there's a demon-sealing collar around her neck and the heel didn't activate.

''Why, why........''

 I can't stop crying.


 It's okay.

 Don't cry, Tina, please don't cry.

 See, it's because I... and I... and I... came to see you.

 It's all right.


 The "I" caught the image of Sarion running towards me at the edge of my snatched consciousness.
