Chapter 326

After reading my expression, the Spirit’s head tilted to the side. Although I couldn’t read his expression in the burning flames, I could tell that it was a gesture of questioning.

[I can feel the disapproval of you. Why are you worried about the safety of your body and yet uncomfortable with the fact that nothing is wrong

? After pondering for a moment what an appropriate answer would be, I explained as simply as possible.

“It’s good that my body is fine... but I don’t know why. Every time I overuse my mana, I thought I felt the limit of my body. What I feel now is like... fear coming from the unknown.”

‘I was using magic, but it turned out that it was because I was paying for my life span, so my body was fine.’ It’s really not good if it’s the same. Because I didn’t want this life to be short.

[Um... I see. You guys live with death by your side, so you’re worried about the uneasy factors and threats brought by the unknown.] ”

That’s correct. Even if it’s later.”

Spirit-nim seemed to be silent for a while, contemplating something. I waited for a while, feeling the cool wind blowing from the burning forest, and soon the spirit’s finger moved slowly toward my heart.

[Have you ever felt the ‘physical limitations’... is this feeling?]

Uh huh?! No, no matter how it is, it’s a bit like feeling it yourself...?

“what.”

I flinched at the thought of the great hallucination party I felt when fighting an orc for a moment, but what I felt was the sensation of excessively consuming the usual mana stored in my body.

“Uh, yes. This feeling is right.”

[This is just a signal to let you know that the magic power in your body is running out. Shouldn’t it be filled like when fighting an orc?]

“...Yes?”

no what does this mean? Does this whole body feel sore and it makes it difficult to breathe just mean the exhaustion of mana? Spirit-nim’s head tilted once again, as if he felt astonishment beyond doubt on my face.

[In the first place, you... er...]

Oh wait.

Wait a minute. It’s not this, it’s not real!!

Oh really don’t be crazy! ah!!

The sensations that I felt distinctly just a moment ago disappear, and I begin to lose sight of the spirit’s voice. My eyes, which had been kept straight, tried to close, and my whole body lost all strength.

[...Later...Magic...]

The blazing fire, whose expression was still unreadable, with a hand on my forehead seemed to be smiling gently for some reason. As if he understands what condition I am in.

But it was the spirit’s circumstances, and of course I couldn’t laugh at all, so I shouted, raising my upper body with all my strength for the last time.

“No, it’s not real, it’s a spirit!”

“Quaaaaagh!”

And in reality, I woke up with a big head-butt with someone. Thanks to that, I woke up, but in my head, I was busy cursing about this situation.

Even if it’s vicious, it’s too vicious. How could the timing be cut off like this!!

However, there was no time to roll over from the resentment and the excruciating pain that I felt from my forehead. Asilie, who was next to me, began to touch my face with her eyes wide open.

“Eh, Eldy!? Come to your senses!? Are you okay?”

“...Yes. I’m fine, older sister.”

Seeing Asilie emaciated and with her ears down to her shoulders, the resentment and anger faded away. After checking my complexion several more times, Asilie finally burst into tears, and I had to hug her and comfort her.

“But who the heck did I bump into...”

Before I had time to check my surroundings, I turned my head to apologize to the person caught up in the unfortunate accident,

“Yes why?”

“...Umm, nothing.”

Apparently, the name of the guy I killed during my first reconnaissance was Kakula Vashem. Was it the son of the warchief? How come the movements of the orcs have changed based on the death of that guy, but are you fucking saying that he died?

Ay no way If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have sent out reconnaissance. It wouldn’t have been this four months for such an idiot reason.

“Anyway, Kakula has been a famous orc since before. I’ve heard her name since I was still in my hometown. Back then, she was called a head collector, but now she’s called Warchief Kakula.”

Warchief Kakula.

Asilie’s wealth explained that he was a shaman and warrior who lived a very long life for an Orc. They even said that he was born as a shaman, who was one of the smartest among Orcs, so he had a good head... It wasn’t that much of a concern that it was an Orc standard.

The problem was that the bastard was not like an orc, and the welfare of the shaman was not bad because he was a shaman.

Originally, whether there were thousands or tens of thousands, if the flying dragon knights flew in formation and bombarded them, the Orcs, who had to be completely eradicated, had a means of containment. They even use cavalry, so to prevent them from spreading in all directions, the flying dragon knights are busy turning to the outskirts of the front line.

Of course, the royal family wants to use their hands in earnest... but another problem is that the orcs came over from the west through the gate.

Since the demons have already had a history of cheating with gates, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is a trap aimed at the capital. Academy cadets and privates of other local lords Even though all the privates of nobles residing in the capital were mobilized, the regular army and real elites were the biggest reason why they couldn’t move.

It was a fair decision. Right now, even I wonder if it’s the bait that the demons sprinkled.

“As soon as I open my eyes, things go really well.”

I got out of bed, put on my gear again, and picked up my sword. Since people had moved that far, I vaguely guessed the identity of the tent I was staying in. He must have treated the orc cavalry because he had a ball that blocked them.

Thanks to that, it seems like I woke up after resting well, so it was time to pay for my meal again.

“Uh, Eldy? Why don’t we wait until someone named Visquent comes?”

“There’s no time for that. If it’s clear that it’s connected to the meadow, as long as the gate is open, that means the orcs over there will keep coming this way.”

If you had to pick one of the most fucked up things in the world, it would be cleaning someone else’s cheap shit. The situation where I had to deal with all the shit made by the bastards of the Western Kingdom, who had no one to know, was a no-brainer from me.

“I’m in perfect shape, and I’ve got something on my mind, so I have to quickly join in and help. If I had moved this far, some familiar faces would have come.”

“Yes... but... it would be a bit difficult to go out...”

“Ah, I’m fine.”

I pulled up the tent at the entrance of the tent and went outside, leaving behind Asilie, who was trying to dissuade him with a strange expression, and Seneran, who was immersed in his own world, holding a note on which I recorded my testimony. Busy moving people, diners, maintenance people, etc. I wonder if this is really the temporary camp where I fought against the orc cavalry.

But that feeling didn’t matter too much.

“Ugh, it’s fucking disgusting. I feel like I’ve been to the army twice.”

It was important that it reminded me of the army from my previous life. Unknowingly, I frowned and wondered where I should go, but somehow the eyes of the people around me began to focus on me.

“...It’s Eldmia.”

“Eh, Eldmia has woken up.”

But the reaction was something unusual. Reactions as if they had seen ghosts occurred simultaneously, and they did not end with just one or two, but spread throughout the campsite.

“Eldmia has awakened!!”

“The Orc Slayer has finally awakened!”

“Call Lord Visquente! Eldmia has awakened!!”

And it was followed by sudden cheers.

“Oh, fuck.”

It seems that he picked up another honorary title in subjugation of the dragons without even being able to gamble.
