Retired Hero Wants To Sleep

Mission No.1 Return of Magic Swordsman (17)

Ewald brushed off his sword. With him, the light attached to Ebalt’s sword scattered and disappeared into the darkness, and Ebalt raised his right arm and shouted the magic word of illumination again.

“Lysa!”

An orb of light floated up. At the same time as it was created, the mass of light that emerged at high speed poured into the interior of the monastery as clear as daylight.

Along with him, I couldn’t honestly tell if it was a dog or a wolf, but it was clear that three heads were drooling madly in the worst shape ever.

Cerberus, who had a terrifying appearance that made his hamstrings tingle, screamed at Ebalt. The screams that had brought fear to the point where the bones rang out spread out in all directions and attacked the people.

“… Hi-go.”

All of a sudden, Elif slumped in his seat. The loyal Usbel grabbed Elif by the back and dragged her to a safe place, killing her in an instant.

“Adele, get out of the way.”

Adele stared at Ewald’s face for a second, then quietly stepped back.

Ewald, who was nearly 10 meters away from the group, distanced himself from Cerberus. At this point, he dropped enough distance.

His gaze is also directed towards him.

“Master, Master, can you help me? Is it a bit big?”

“Yet. I go in first.”

I don’t know how that monster will bounce. I don’t know if it’s because it has three heads, but it’s Cerberus, which belongs to the highly intelligent side, so you shouldn’t be careless.

Ewald decided that it would have been better if Elif joined rather than Usbel. Of course, I can’t expect it because it’s a situation where I’m foaming at the mouth like that.

After debating for a moment whether to attack with his sword or go into a melee, Balt returned his sword. If Cerberus has a good field of view, it is more advantageous to melee to continue the attack even a little faster.

“I have no personal feelings.”

Ebalt grabbed several strands of mana that swirled around him and wrapped them around his right arm.

“Be prepared, you son of a b*tch!”

As soon as the exhilarating energy spread from the mana that had been harvested from the monsters, Ewald soared toward Cerberus without looking at it.

There were spirits and shouts and nothing like that. After controlling his breathing once, Balt struck the middle one of the three heads.

Blah blah!

“… Aiko.”

As soon as the sound of something splitting was heard, Usbel, who was watching Balt’s movements, groaned as she felt that she was in pain. However, her gaze was still following Ewald’s movement.

The gigantic Cerberus leaned over. He hit so hard that dozens of broken teeth smashed against the ceiling, making a crackling sound.

However, Ebalt turned around at a slow speed and moved the mana mass from his right arm to his entire right leg.

Then, just before that, he fired a terrifying kick towards the area he had hit.

Enemy!

“… Aiko, Aiko!”

There was the sound of something being splintered. This time instead of teeth, bright red blood spurted out in all directions. Cerberus, who had been staggering, collapsed to the right as if his strength was completely exhausted.

But her Cerberus right front leg slammed to the floor. The collapsing body stopped for a moment, and then the forepaws with claws the size of a human torso continued to strike at Ewald at tremendous speed.

Quaggagak!

Ewald’s body, which had been hit directly by Cerberus’ forepaw without falling to the floor, was pinned to the ceiling as if it were about to be smashed. A gasp erupted from Ewald.

“Master!”

Cerberus rushed at Ebalt, who began to fall from the ceiling with a boulder. Of the two still intact heads, the one on the right swallowed Ewald’s upper body.

Enemy.

Ebalt’s lower body dangled from the raised snout. The upper body is in the snout. Sensing an emergency situation, Usbel stood up.

However, Ewald’s back, which had barely come out, suddenly bent. Usu Bell had to let go of her hand right before she used her magical powers and stare at the situation unfolding in front of her.

“Master… Sir?”

“Uhhhhh!”

Cerberus’ mouth began to groan. Usbel’s eyes caught the gigantic jaws twitching and opening slowly.

Are you saying you’re opening it inside? It’s an incredible force. Besides, the upper body is already inside the snout?

Took.

Cerberus’s teeth were broken. With a force that can only be described as ignorant, Ewald was struggling to open Cerberus’ snout.

But Cerberus was not standing still. He slammed Ebalt against a pole, against a wall, vigorously shaking his head while biting Ewald. Ewald’s two legs staggered violently, but they held them tight between his teeth, giving them strength.

It was then. Watching the head to her left go wild, the other head gaped open. There were dozens of teeth that were as long as the upper body of a person. Along with him, the head that had been biting Ewald turned its head to the other head.

I’m thinking of separating the upper and lower body.

Usbel’s tiny body sprang out at an incredible speed. The mana clinging around the body tore the air with a hissing sound, and began to materialize, emitting a faint light.

Jjoong!

The head that was about to bite Ewald was completely thrown back. Usbel, who exploded the mana at the tip of his fist in an instant with a clean uppercut, smiled at Cerberus’ scattering teeth.

Stuck properly

However, Cerberus’s head, which was spinning, plunged into Usbel with terrifying speed.

“Oh my, oh my!”

Quack!

Cerberus swallowed Usbel. Cerberus, who had swallowed Ewald on one head and Usbel on the other, let out a terrifying roar as he raised his mouthless head high into the sky. Adele involuntarily backed away.

Elif was already properly panicked. If you can subdue those two mighty people, you are not even one step away. Die. Fear surged through his brain.

But when Elif noticed Adele approaching her side, she had to put on her puzzled expression.

Adele’s mouth opened.

“Mr. Karossa?”

“To? Yes?”

“… Sorry.”

“Yes? What?”

“Quaaa!”

“Wow… Ah…”

With that single scream, Elif’s body completely stretched out. Elif, who completely closed her eyes, stumbled once and fell to the floor, and Adele carefully laid her body down, supporting her upper body to keep her head from bumping.

‘Can I do it?’

She questioned herself.

‘Can I sing?’

As long as there are people around, all Adele can do is scream with mana. But when she confronted Cerberus, she felt keenly that her screams were useless. At best, she’s just enough to make her back.

However, if it was a song containing mana, it might be possible.

The question is, can you sing?

She was not confident

Although she is said to be stunned, an elf came into her eyes. She is a person Her throat clogged her throat.

It was then.

She heard a gigantic roar from Ebalt, whose lower body was only exposed.

“Adele!”

“… Mr. Kitsuka?”

Manada. It is mana that is embedded in the colossal shouting. It was purely a mixture of mana to make her sound louder, but Adele’s eyes widened when she read it correctly.

“Ode to Curse!”

‘Ode to the Curse?’

It’s a song you know No, it’s a famous song. There is no one in the Empire who does not know. But even at that moment, Adele hesitated.

“Hurry!”

Either that or not, Ewald, ignorant of the outside circumstances, yelled at him with a temper.

“It’s none of my business to be tone deaf or dumb, I need your song right now!”

She needs her You need your own song. Goosebumps rose rapidly from Adele’s fingertips to her shoulder. Her whole body shuddered with chills. That one word shook Adele’s brain.

“Just scream!”

Adele closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

And let out her voice with all her might.

“Dance and run wild, wounded souls.”

“He is evil!”

Cerberus bowed her head at the terrifying voice. It was the voice I heard when I ran away in a panic. No, is it a song? The sound of Adele’s singing, which burst out with such a high volume that his heart would resonate even if he covered his ears, swept the entire room.

“You cursed specters going to hell.”

“Gooooo!”

Cerberus could not bear the scream that rose from his throat. It feels like ripping his brain off with a sharp razor blade.

“Everything that was beautiful from you will be taken away.”

Cerberus’ vision turned red. Did the bloodline burst? One song? But to be sure, this wasn’t a song. Would it be this painful even if Mandragora screamed into his ear?

Cerberus let out a cry full of pain. Foaming at his mouth in an instant, Cerberus struggled and stumbled on his two front paws, as if he couldn’t decide which of his four ears to scratch.

“It vanishes into thin air without any fuss.”

“Goooh! Ohhhhh!”

“The day I stand in front of you, who is a luxury even for forgiveness.”

Such a beautiful voice. However, a terrifying singing voice that I have never encountered even in hell. Death was approaching.

“A body torn by a curse, lean on me.”

aaa!

Blood spurted from Cerberus’ ears. The fountain of blood spewed out as if bursting out, scattering hideous traces in all directions. In an instant, the surroundings of Cerberus turned into blood.

Ebalt was raising his upper body from the snout of Cerberus shaking his head frantically. Ewald’s face, which held his fully open snout firmly with two legs and one arm, was covered in red blood and purple liquid.

But Ewald’s face, engulfed in madness, made it all seem normal.

“Ha, this is crazy.”

Ewald’s bloodstained face turned ferociously back at Adele. As soon as the bright red eyes stained with madness whose pupils had completely disappeared met Adele’s eyes, Ewald with an evil, evil smile screamed.

“Bigger!”

Adele nodded and took a quick breath.

“Beautiful old memories.”

“Eldingar spjóti!”

Chew!

Behind Ewald’s back, a window of light nearly 2 meters long was created. The spear of light, which rotated violently around the center, formed a grotesque shadow on Ewald’s terrifying face.

And Ebalt swept away all the mana he could draw. At the same time, the window of light thumped and became huge.

“Your body.”

Ewald showed his teeth and laughed viciously. Along with him, the spear of light behind his back began to rampage, emitting a terrifying sound.

And Ewald and Adele shouted their last words together.

“I will swallow it!”

“I will swallow you!”

Quaggagak!

A spear of light pierced Cerberus’ left eye. The spear of light that pierced his neck and protruded into his chest began tearing apart all areas in contact with Cerberus. Cerberus let out a groan with his one remaining head in excruciating pain.

Ewald’s spear-pierced head was no longer in a state to scream.

It’s over. Ebalt stretched out his hand toward the spear of light that was grinding Cerberus’ flesh and blood. A terrifying sound of bones grinding echoed through the space.

Bright red blood spurted out of Ewald’s body. Looking like a yaksha who had just opened the gates of hell, Balt pulled the spear with tremendous force as soon as he caught it in his fingertips.

Ewald turned his head towards the head of the last remaining Cerberus, in the form of a demon. And at that moment, Cerberus’ nose exploded.

Cerberus let out a terrifying scream as he swooped in from within, but an evil voice erupted that drowned out the scream.

“It’s punishment, you food thief!”

… Oh my god.

It was Usbel. Ewald’s smile was overcome with madness when he found Usbel escaping from Cerberus’s mouth. Ewald couldn’t stand this laugh that seemed to drive him crazy.

“Isn’t it nice?”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

Usbel, who was covered in blood in a yaksha style comparable to that of Ewald, revealed her pierced nose with a smile full of demon lordship. Right now, he was the Demon King himself.

“Goes!”

“Yes yes!”

The moment Ewald and Usbel’s eyes met, both of them smiled insanely.

At the same time, Ewald brandished the spear he was holding in his hand, and Usbel grabbed the lips of Cerberus, who was trying to escape, and pushed him toward the spear that Ewald wielded.

And humans and demons screamed at the same time.

“Get lost!”

“Kill it!”

Hard deed deed!

Cut off the ears Ears, pieces of flesh, pieces of bone, and brains that popped out. An eyeball the size of a human head was crushed and exploded in the white skull.

Madness to the point of shaking hands. Eyes that turned bright red. Ewald, more demonic than Cerberus, fell to the floor with a complete rotation.

Ebalt sat down on the floor with two huge Cerberus teeth stuck in his lower stomach, turning his back to Cerberus, who was slowly collapsing.

Covered in a mixture of flesh and blood that could be believed to be waves of his blood, he fell to his knees. However, with his arms lightly spread, Balt easily caught someone falling from his head.

It’s Usbel.

“Howdy.”

Usbel, who had lost all his strength, managed to open his half-closed eyes, and as soon as he received himself with a dignified appearance, Balt came into the field of vision that had turned red.

“… Master, Master, are you okay?”

Like her moans, Usbel let the words out. But Ewald stroked her little head and gently put her down.

“Good job.”

To her own master, her strongest magic swordsman, Usbel blinked her eyes full of longing, then closed her heavy eyelids with her very satisfied face.

hehehe.”

Take a break. Ewald looked at Usbel as if he were saying that, then slowly raised her body.

Ewald, who turned around with Cerberus’ teeth still lodged in his stomach, looked at Adele, who had a blank face, with a small smile on his lips.

“Adele Meles.”

“Key… Mr. Tsuka.”

Ewald’s smile grew wider.

Now that’s the limit Ignoring the blurry vision in shock, Ewald spat out his last words.

“It was a great song.”

Just like that, Ewald collapsed to the floor.
