I’m not going to die

111 – Master (5)

The entire group of demons form a long procession.

There was a quarrel, but at the point of leaving the cave after completing all preparations, it had been a long time since they had crossed an irreversible path.

The moment you move forward with the hope of living a normal, safe life, you won’t want to continue living like a bug in that cave again.

So, as if there was nothing in the previous conflict, the demons proceeded very silently.

I also held Vero’s hand and moved on.

Stopping in the middle is suicidal.

If there is a suitable safe zone, it would be okay to stay there, but in the northern part where there is frequent heavy snowfall, if you lie on a bed anywhere, it will soon become your grave.

So, I had to keep going in the middle of the snowy field where I couldn’t see anything.

I chose the clearest day possible, but as soon as time passed, heavy snow poured.

The white snow falling from the sky was destroying the demons one by one.

It is not that they lack will, but rather that they have reached their limit through long starvation.

It was Vero who held up better than I thought.

Maybe it’s because of her will, or rather, it’s because she’s invisible and doesn’t feel helpless walking in the vast sea where there’s nothing.

She didn’t know it, but when many demons fell out of exhaustion, she continued to walk.

Through the heavy snow, as I forcibly moved my frozen body, I realized that half of the demons gathered were gone.

ask the bugle

“…Are those who couldn’t catch up to be abandoned?”

“It’s a situation I can’t take care of, so I have no choice but to die.”

“What about fraud?”

In a situation where you die if you are abandoned, you may be more mentally driven.

But Burgle denied that possibility.

“They’re going to die anyway. If you’re weak, you’ll have no choice but to be thrown away. Rather, if you tried to take care of them, they would all die.”

“That’s the Mine’s way of thinking.”

“I’m rather curious about that. How are you holding up?”

Rather, I was the most active person here, rather than enduring.

There is no special secret.

Every time I die, I instantly respawn, and then I get back to my basic health.

Since you regained the stamina you could replenish by sleeping or resting by dying, it will look like you’re radiating constant stamina to others.

Still, mental fatigue is not going anywhere.

They are in much better condition than the demons.

“let’s go.”

When I spat out a word like that, Bourgle, who had been talking a few words, also kept his mouth shut and moved on.

There were many abandoned mines in this process.

Still, there were still 50 or so left.

If all of them survived, it was certain that they would become strong warriors.

Because I went through this extreme situation.

“see!”

someone shouts

Everyone’s eyes widened at the voice filled with hope and certainty.

It was an unclear destination called the border line, but the traces were certain.

There was a place where a wall was piled up as if a line had been drawn, and a light of constant brightness spread from there.

Gaining confidence, not hope, everyone started to move forward.

But I look at it and mumble.

There was something ominous that my senses caught on.

“You shouldn’t go.”

As soon as I finished my words, the demons who moved forward even a little further turned into porridge and died.

Kwaaang-!

Something has fallen from the sky.

It appears blocking our way.

Everyone knows what it is.

upper level demons.

Monsters with large horns and black skin all over stood in our way.

“Why did a high-ranking demon stop us!”

“Sa, save me!”

The demons fall into despair.

It is an enemy that cannot be defeated.

High-level demons are always a disaster itself.

No matter how much it is said that it is a demon that is stronger than a normal human, it could not stand up to a high-level demon.

However, Bourgle was not at all discouraged and moved on.

It is to have a conversation with them with the least hope.

“What happened to block us?

[I can’t tell them apart.]

“what?”

However, the higher-level demons didn’t even care about Burgle.

Anyway, to them, the demons that were completely abandoned, not the demons inside the castle, were just like insects.

[Since you don’t even know what the sealed target looks like, there’s a problem.]

[I can’t help it, I have to kill them all to check.]

Kwaaang!

“Keugh!”

What surprised me was the fact that the Burgles blocked their attack, rather than the fact that the high-ranking demons blocked us.

Quite a few knights would have been blown away at once, but the fact that they blocked it was truly amazing.

Naturally, the demons also panicked.

“Oh, how did you get here!”

“help me!”

puff-!

Someone secretly tried to cross the border while attention was focused on one side, but in the meantime, his head was blown off.

They didn’t have the skills to stop the high-ranking demon’s blow.

So the future that remains is nothing but dog death.

[Hmm, isn’t that one too?]

[I don’t think there’s a person here who’s great enough to destroy the castle and kill an executive, but maybe I’m wrong?]

[Still, I can’t leave any trouble. I’ll kill them all and find them.]

“Eh, the demon castle is destroyed? But it has nothing to do with us at all!”

[It doesn’t seem to matter, but you have to kill them all first to know.]

It seems that the higher-ranking demons do not know exactly what I look like.

Certainly, it must be because I haven’t been a senior executive for a while, and I’m not widely known.

In addition, it seems that the basic impression was not taught.

Besides, who would consider that I would escape the seal?

I sighed and looked at these new white gloves.

No matter how bloody or dirty your hands are, the gloves still maintain their pure white color.

If you hold this once, you should be able to gain enough strength to kill a high-level demon.

But I couldn’t handle the risk that was coming here.

Just as I was contemplating what to do, the higher-level demons attacked Burgle again.

Whoops-!

The explosion of the earth resounded, but the Burgles endured it again.

From what I can see, it’s a great skill.

To block an attack from a high-ranking demon twice.

But even that has its limits.

He lay down his weapon in a collapsed position.

Blocking the attack caused him to pass out.

He sighed.

Can’t you do anything about it this time?

Even if I let all the demons die, it was hard for me to get out of here unless I dealt with the higher-level demons in the end.

After several contemplations, I tried to grip the gloves.

Vero held my hand tightly.

“…It’s ominous.”

“It’s a dangerous situation.”

“Ah, no. If you really want to do what Argal-nim intends, it seems irreversible.”

I was silent for a while and then asked again.

“Why do you think so?”

“I, the mysterious being who protected me told me so.”

“he?”

If so, why did you inform them indirectly?

And, if you come now and pick up the gloves again, why can’t you go back?

There were many things that I couldn’t understand, but I couldn’t easily pass the warning of the great devil.

If there is a penalty that can’t be prevented by an instant resurrection, that’s too big.

He sighed.

If this is also a method that cannot be used, how about using something else?

First, remember the contract with the devil.

Except for the gloves, there was no means other than this.

When I tried to proceed with the contract with that thought in mind, Vero blocked that too.

“Oh no!”

“This too?”

“I don’t know, but the being said, I shouldn’t use anything.”

“…I don’t know.”

Is there even a limit to the life I can use?

If you think about it, instant resurrection was limited to about 10 times a day before returning.

However, if I were truly an immortal, I wouldn’t even need that restriction, and now that the way the contracts have changed has changed, I’ve tried to die not 10 times, but 20 or 30 times.

Especially at the time when he was trying to damage the demon king, he risked his life.

…There may be a price to pay for excessive wear and tear.

The possibility of true death coming to me.

I held back the sigh that escaped me.

I don’t have time anymore.

Burgle was on the verge of being killed by a high-ranking demon, and I had to prevent that death.

ran forward

There are many ways to block an attack.

No matter how strong the opponent’s attack was, he was confident that he could block it just once.

Grab a sword and counter the demon’s blow as it is.

aaang-!

As soon as I blocked the attack of the advanced demon, it bounced back.

It felt like every bone in my body had been torn out.

Blood flowed from his mouth, and his intestines turned into porridge.

Just blocking it once, this kind of aftermath came.

…It’s an opponent you can’t beat.

This is the moment when you realize that.

The high-ranking demons laughed at the demons.

[You guys are such a family, while a much younger guy comes forward and takes the attack instead, you are trying to figure out how to run away while noticing. Rather face it confidently and die, that makes you not ashamed… .]

“Yes? Then die.”

In the meantime

A window containing the light of the stars.

As it was, it was split in half from the top of the head of a high-ranking demon to the bottom of the body.

Chow-!

A familiar girl sat on the other side.

You can still see the poorly maintained purple hair.

Asher came here.
