111. Subquest (2)
I spread my hand.
A grain of sand, scattered by the wind, landed on the palm of my hand. The heat beating down on the skin. The air is hot and humid. It was the hot and stuffy desert weather I expected.
“It’s hot.”
Belquist narrowed his eyes.
“But what is this woman doing?”
“I think we have a request.”
He seemed to have noticed the oddity. The eyes of Priasis, who had been kneeling in a calm posture, were half-open. Those golden eyes illuminated me.
“You, you…!”
“How are you, kid?”
“How are you here?”
The eyes are shaking.
Priasis stammered in a panicked voice.
“Weren’t you looking for me? You came at best.”
“The prisoners in front of me…”
“They are sleeping all over the house. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“I don’t understand. Did you use magic? No, even magic…” ”
Now is not the time to fight with me.”
sereung.
The sword came out of the scabbard.
I said with my sword hanging down.
“Wouldn’t it be better to wipe out those guys over there first?”
across the street.
Hundreds of Lizardmen are coming in droves. Where they are headed is a procession of refugees. Even now, the distance between the two sides was getting closer every moment.
“You just need to give people time to escape, right? I like this mission.”
Jenna drew a bow from her back.
Belquist and Nerissa were also disarmed.
“I can’t afford it. I’ll move right away.”
I immediately moved in the right direction.
After that, the four members of the first party followed at once.
“You guys… are you doing me a favor?”
Priasis trotted after me.
“You can’t see it? You’re on your way.”
I took out a potion dripping with blue liquid from the pouch.
heat repellant. It will look like an ordinary potion to Amkena. I opened the lid and took a gulp. The four people behind them also started drinking the potion.
‘Perform the quest.’
[The leader of ‘Party 1’, ‘Han (★★★)’, suggests performing a sub-quest. Do you accept?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[Tee-ring!]
[Perform a sub-quest!]
[Floor 25. Sub-quest]
[Mission Type – Defense]
[Objective – Give the refugees time to escape.]
[ Special Goal – Survival of NPC ‘Priasis All Ragna’]
The process is over.
Everything else just kills.
“I have so many things to say to you. I can’t count them.”
Priasis smiled faintly.
“But I won’t interfere. Thanks for your help.”
“You know well. Stay behind us. Don’t step out.”
“i get it.”
I listen well
I have quite a few things to say with this guy, but it’s not appropriate at this point.
“I also thank the other warriors. The other warriors I saw at that time also stand out.”
“hello.”
Jenna smiled wryly.
Iolka also politely refused.
“The two who used spears and daggers…”
“Edith and Aaron are alive and well. They are elsewhere.”
“Everyone was fine… I’m glad.”
“We’ll be rushing in soon. Watch your manners.”
You can see the end of the alley.
Freeasis nodded with a nervous expression.
‘It’s only been a month since the actual battle.’
krak. clap.
The sound of boiling phlegm came from the other side of the narrow wall.
It was the distinctive cry of a Lizardman. I brought my left hand to the dagger sheath of my belt.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to sweep it from the front?”
“But don’t go ahead alone.”
I stopped.
At the same time, the movement of the party stopped. Opposite the bend in the road.
Their cries are clear. It was right in front. I pointed to Priasis and then to the trash can. Priasis sprinted and crouched behind a dumpster. Next I spread three fingers.
three.
two.
one.
“inrush.”
I ran out of the alley.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Save me, save me!”
Clara Rock!
The screams of humans and the life-threatening cry of Lizardmen.
The sound of tearing soft skin combined to form a trio.
The eyes of the lizardman who stabbed the woman lying on the side of the road with a knife reflected on me.
The elongated pupils shook in the yellow eyes.
“Kiruk?”
puck!
The dagger I threw at him in an instant pierced his eye to the hilt.
“Keeeeek!”
Lower your stance and run.
At the same time the greatsword was swung horizontally, the guy’s neck flew through the air. The headless torso spurted blood and leaned on its side. It doesn’t stop. It wasn’t one.
I immediately straightened my stance and landed two stabs.
Two Lizardmen who could not grasp the situation were pierced with swords and scattered.
[Lizardman Lv.21] X 17
“17. Organize within 10 seconds!”
“Old write!”
Papapak!
As soon as the arrow was loaded into the shortbow, it was shot.
Three arrows hit three targets at once. Nerissa impaled the three lizardmen who were flinching from the arrows and stabbed them with her razor blades.
“It’s not even a fuss. The weather is the same.”
Iolka murmured.
The streets were already littered with human and lizardman corpses. The burning building burned fiercely.
“If it wasn’t for the potion you gave me, I would have been in big trouble. Anyway, it’s all-powerful.”
Iolka started casting.
Their lips swelled, and the next moment.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The flames exploded immediately.
The two Lizardmen caught in the explosion turned into powder and disappeared.
high-speed brigade. It was Iolka’s newly learned primate skill.
“Kirarara!”
Lizardman jumped up and swung his curved sword.
He is about 2m tall and his unique elongated body moves flexibly. I swung my sword and clashed. Bifrost’s thick blade sliced through the curved sword like a radish and slashed the torso in one fell swoop. The Lizardman’s upper body flew into the sky, pouring blood and intestines like a fountain.
“It’s been a while since I’ve loosened my hands. Very good.”
Belquist grinned.
It was already covered in blood.
The 20 Lizardmen did not last even 20 seconds and became cold corpses.
The woman who had been sitting down muttered blankly.
“How did this happen…”
My body shuddered.
‘Still can’t see us.’
The pupil just trembled mercilessly.
“Ghosts, are there ghosts?”
Survivors appeared everywhere.
These were people hiding in crevices in buildings or under tables and under crates of fruit.
They scanned the place where we were standing with bewildered eyes.
“It’s a strange feeling.”
said Jenna.
“Never mind. We just have to do our job.”
“They don’t seem to have any intention of running away, do they?”
“Then I have no choice but to look back, right?”
Belquist brushed off the blade.
Blood was splattered all over the street.
‘The traces we left behind are visible.’
The woman’s complexion turned pale as she looked at the bloodstains.
“Yu, a ghost?”
“It’s not a ghost.”
Freesis appeared from the alley.
Priasis said with a firm expression.
“If you stay here, you will die. Go to the east gate.”
“You? What was your last job?”
“It’s protecting us.”
Priasis glanced at us.
“It seems that only I can see it.”
“Are you the monster you command?”
“I don’t have that power. I just asked for it.”
A soldier appeared from the group of survivors.
“Don’t be ridiculous! I know who you are. Traitor of the Empire, Priasis! You must have sold your soul to summon a demon! That transparent monster over there is yours… BILLION!”
The soldier who was hit hard in the back of the head was sprawled.
Behind him, a young woman with a shovel was breathing heavily.
“Soldiers. They ran away with only nobles at the fore. Thank you anyway. Can we just run away?”
Freesis nodded.
The woman looked around at the survivors and said.
“Everybody go.”
“Ah, okay.”
“Whether it’s a demon or a ghost, we’re alive thanks to you. I won’t forget.”
People formed a procession and started heading toward the east gate.
Seeing this, Priasis sighed.
“Looks like something happened.”
“It’s not here, but I mean.”
[Lizardman Lv. 21] X 93
[Lizardman Magician Lv.25] X 5
Across the street.
Close to a hundred Lizardmen were coming in droves.
‘How much time do I have to endure?’
I looked at the bottom of the quest window.
There was a timer displayed so small that you couldn’t see it unless you paid attention.
[00:10:00]
‘It’s 10 minutes.’
“…Isn’t there a bit too many?”
Priasis’ complexion hardened.
“Kirrrrrrr!”
The head of a human wearing a helmet was stuck in the spearhead of the Lizardmen in the lead.
Priasis swallowed the silence.
“It disappears after 10 minutes. Minimize movement. Keep the distance wide. It becomes difficult when surrounded.”
The field is a straight line.
If you block well from the front, you don’t have to worry about getting hit from behind.
It was a much better situation than the 5th floor where I had to block three places.
“Hey, see the red-eyed lizard?”
“It’s okay to hit that guy.”
“Yeah, it’s annoying if you leave it alone.”
ridge! ridge! ridge!
The drums started beating. The Lizardmen in the rear seemed to be beating drums.
“Kreuk!”
“Kirarak!”
They stopped with a distance of 10m left on both sides.
A Lizardman walked to the front of the ranks. It was a guy wearing a red feather robe and holding a crooked staff.
“Krarak! A human who rejects order!”
Human language leaked out of his protruding mouth.
It was surprisingly fluent.
[Lizardman Chief Lv. 28]
“How can you deny the providence of nature? Krak! I will punish this unholy land…”
Wedges!
An arrow that flew quickly pierced the chieftain’s neck. hooked
The body of the Lizardman chief fell forward.
“Can I kill those guys?”
“That’s correct.”
I laughed and straightened my sword.
“Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
In the eyes of the Lizardmen, life bloomed all at once.
“Why are you talking so much in a fight? Come on.”
Doo doo doo.
Hundreds of Lizardmen started running, smoking dust.
“Gwa, are you okay, Han? There are a lot of numbers. You don’t have to overdo it.”
“You asked me to do it, are you saying something different now?”
I straightened my sword.
“100. Only 20 per person need to be dealt with. It’s easy.”
“But…”
“Just look at it from behind.”
There is an incomparable difference between me on the 15th floor and the me now.
It’s not just me. The guys from the 1st party were the same

Flames
from under Iolka’s feet hit the
Lizardman

lead .
There is no way. The roasted Lizardman corpse swayed in the wind. The flames that had not lost their power even after the explosion burned fiercely in the street. “Go
in .
”
.The
destination is the middle of the road where the flames are burning fiercely.
Ping Ping! Ping!
Even in the midst of that, Xena’s arrows pierced the air. They
poured in without sparing it. The Lizardman who was hit by the arrows collapsed like a sheaf of straw. Xena’s arrow with the expansion quiver The number of spares had increased to more than 100.
“Kiaa!”
The lizardman with his leg on fire swung his spear.
There was no need to dodge. I drew the sword from the bottom up. The blade broke the spearhead and pierced the scales, leaving him left and right. [Skill Awakening
!]
[‘Han (★★★)’ has learned the ‘Strike’ skill!]
‘Good.’
I knew I would get it.
It was a simple yet powerful skill that added attack power.
[
Skill Awakening!]
[‘Belquist (★★★)”s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has risen to Lv.10!]
[‘Belquist (★★) ‘ ★★)’s ‘lower swordsmanship’ has reached its maximum level.]
The second awakening continued.
It was Belquist’s. No matter how hard you practice, there’s nothing like actual combat. I sped up. I spurred on. The Lizardmen sprang apart, vomiting blood one by one.
Fighting with their backs to the flames.
Iolka’s flames gradually widened and skillfully encroached on the field. The Lizardmen oxidized like moths rushing into a fire. Nerissa’s three swords pierced those who broke through the wall of flame. The Lizardman Shamans were shot by Zena almost at the same time as the battle began
.
The flaming sword tore the Lizardman apart.
I quickly scanned the battlefield to find the next one. Then I got out of the flame zone.
‘Everyone is dead.’
The 100 Lizardmen who were here 5 minutes ago had completely disappeared.
[00 : 04 : 38]
They all became cold corpses on the street
.
“It’s pretty trivial, isn’t it?”
“It’s no different than a scarecrow,”
said Belquist,
“these bastards are weaker than I expected.”
I laughed,
as Priasis looked at us blankly.
