Act 5: Chapter 28: The Situation in Polorock

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

I already lost count of how many golems I cut down.

There were mountains of mithril wreckage built around me.

「To think that there are people who gathered this much mithril.」

I muttered so.

If a looter took even just a cart from this rubble, they would have enough money to play around for decades.

In this way, I had disposed most golem around Greed's mansion.

There was only one golem left.

「UWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

Bennet was currently running around the said golem, hitting the latter with his sword.

Though his sword hit the golem, it only created a slight dent on the surface of the golem's body, failing to damage it whatsoever.

On the other hand, Bennet's sword was broken instead, with only half of its blade left.

「Dammit... If only I have a blunt weapon...」

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

The golem raised their arm.

「HIIIII!」

I slipped in between the two and nailed the kick on the golem's abdomen.

The golem flew far away in a straight line.

Rolled on the ground till it crashed against the wall, and then stopped moving.

I checked its' status to confirm if the golem had truly been defeated.

「Done, Bennet-san.」

「... Ah, yeah, as expected of Kanata.」

Bennet stared at my feet and then threw his broken sword to the ground.

「Just what in the world is happening in Polorock?」

Though the possibility was not zero that his preparation simply didn't make it in time since the Chivalric Order moved faster than his expectation, it didn't mean that Greed wasn't prepared for this kind of situation.

「Are you really sure about coming with me? The battle after this might be even more severe you know?... And due to the scale of the battle,I might not be able to protect you.」

There was a high possibility that Nyarlhotep was involved in this.

「...」

Bennet then pondered for a while before clearing his throat.

「Kanata... Just like how you have your own battlefield, I also have mine. I'm sure that your name will go down in the annal of history as a great hero. That's why I shall put my life on the line to protect those within my reach. Not as the Hundred Demon of Kingdom Knight... That is my path as a single knight. Go, may fortune of war with you.」

「... Ah, you're right.」

I nodded briefly to Bennet and ran toward Greed's mansion.

I thought he was an opportunist but... I guess Bennet realized that he could only fight with his life on the line for a great cause himself instead of borrowing other people's power.

That part of him stayed the same as before.

Though I also couldn't just overlook this situation, I would definitely feel guilty later if I ignored this situation... And focused on rescuing Philia.

Because when it comes to Nyarlhotep, he could easily cause one or two strife like this.

He would create conflict in this peaceful world from his safe place just to provide entertainment.

Truly unpleasant existence.

「Kanata... Let's survive together, and meet again someday! You have to promise me... On this one!」

Bennet shouted at me from behind.

「... Yes.」

... I replied to him.
