Chapter 9 The Proof of the Brave

It's different.

The attitude of being stagnant so far.

A lot of time wasted.

Many wrong choices.

Draster turned it all around after reviving.

I don't know the reason.

By the time I realized it, Draster had already decided to return to the battlefield with an extremely firm will.

...Maybe it was the desperate showdown between Lumina and me that woke him up and forced him to make changes.

But then again, should we become the "brave who brings courage to others"...

What should I say? Maybe Dlast is a brave man from the bottom of his heart.

Although I'm talking about this for one of the reasons, it's quite subtle...

But for ordinary people, this is not surprisingly uncommon.

Anyway, Draster stood up again.

Once upon a time...it seemed to be the first day of imprisonment.

"If Draster can stand up again, he will become stronger"

At that time, I had a little thought on this possibility.

And this wish has really come true in front of me now.

Draster did sink for a while in the relaxed path I proposed.

But he later escaped the sweet temptation and decided to look back and face the reality that was both painful and cruel.

A person like him who can make a resolute guarantee... is very strong.

Strong enough to turn everything around.

It seems to have caught up

After that, Dlaster proposed to "go down the mountain and return to the city."

Of course, the risk of doing so is quite high.

Although the demon generals appeared before, there was indeed a subordinate around him, and he was not right.

But her subordinates shouldn't be too far away from her.

In other words, it is an extremely reasonable judgment that "her subordinates are approaching this time."

The crusade team...were they called the defense team here?

When we left the city, we could have imagined that they might not be able to stop it.

In fact, the army of the demon clan has indeed arrived.

However, the city has not fallen.

Hahaha!These people are just soft-legged shrimps~

We looked from the city wall at the demon clan who was shouting and cursing with his stinky mouth below.

It is no exaggeration for the woman captured by the demons to look like a slave.

Of course, she is bound by handcuffs, shackles, collars and other devices.

Perhaps they destroyed several villages or cities while entering the marches, and plundered them all the way.

There is not just one or two people.

At first glance, there were about a dozen or twenty people in your eyes... they were simply regarded as shields.

When attacking a city with a tightly locked gate, the most important thing to beware of is arrows and magic.

Although it is to protect the city, the behavior of archery shooting against the same tribe will still affect morale.

It's really a combat plan that suits the despicable thoughts of the demons.

A little weird...

Lord Drast, what's wrong?

I have never fought with the demons.

Although it is not really not included in the rescue on the first day of the world and the duel with the Vampire, judging from the current situation, those experiences are simply useless.

At most, what can be considered experience is only witnessing Drast's battle with the demons when he was still in the game.

Since it was still a game at that time, the sense of presence was certainly not comparable to that now, and the odor of blood and iron could not be smelled.

So I'm actually tantamount to knowing nothing.

Look at the back

After he said this, I looked at the army of the demons behind me.

I really don't know if they should be anxious or what.

...It always feels like no one is in command.

Something is indeed not right

Of course, I'm not so stupid that I don't even know the reason.

It seems feasible

...Can't we plan a more stable combat plan?

I know what Draster said is "feasible" even if he doesn't need to explain it specifically.

While knowing that method is very effective, I also know that it comes with great risks.

Philea, I am the brave man who has escaped.It is not enough to regain lost trust by ordinary behavior alone

……

That's the case...

Draster is very strong.

Even if he uses a steady combat method, he will definitely achieve success.

But this is not what he wants, a super reversal show that can turn everything around.

More importantly, if you use that kind of retreat method, it has nothing to do with what Dlast called "the brave man who brings courage to others".

Feel sorry.I've decided to go anyway

Draster's eyes were completely different from before.

Looking straight at the future.

He is planning seriously how to survive and spend the future with me.

No matter how annoying or painful the future is, he is mentally prepared.

It was with this determination that he said that.

At this time, should a good woman respond to him like this?

Lord Drast, I am the kind of pessimistic and negative person.After hearing you say you want to stand up and fight, what I felt at the first time was not courage, but full of concern for you.I'm such a timid and weak person

……

But even so, I will fight for you

Because I have sweared to God...

"No matter how hateful the world is, only Draster, I will give everything to love him."

No matter how stupid and stupid he said, I will definitely support it.

Because you see...that's what the man who finally recovered was said?

I didn't get along with him for nothing so I couldn't even believe such things.

No matter how absurd your idea is, I will firmly believe that you will be in the end

Thank you, you won't be disappointed.I'll prove it to you, I'm not the kind of guy who only speaks beautiful words

OK!

Dlast stepped on the outer wall of the city, waiting for the opportunity to come.

『Retrieve the trust lost by evasion』

If you want to turn this impossible into possibility, the only way is to...

Heroic act.

Is there not even a guy in humans who takes action to save his compatriots?Hahaha~ They are really a bunch of scumbags!Isn’t anyone here to be my opponent?

The demons kept shouting.

Wait a little longer.

The brave and saint you are desperately looking for will soon be your opponent.

Want to go!

Feather Charge！

As Drast sounded, I cast the aid magic.

Perhaps the effect is much stronger than when I was attacking the monsters. Now it is not a problem to cast them on both of them at the same time.

！

Immediately, Draster kicked the exterior wall and swooped down.

A lightning strike avoided the woman who was used as a shield and directly slashed on the demon clan.

Gaha!?

Speaking of which… “The guy who doesn’t have a sense of crisis and doesn’t know what’s going on” is always the first one to die.

Dlast killed the noisy guy.

The demons seemed to be frightened by this scene and stood there blankly, motionless.

Blake Recourse

I, who cast the spell again, also stepped on the outer wall and bounced down.

Taking advantage of that momentum, I waved the little sword in my hand directly.

Gaha!

Blue blood, which is different from humans, then sprinkled in the air.

The demons are far stronger than the monsters they have fought before, which is an indisputable fact.

But…they are not so strong that they are desperate.

At least compared with a certain perverted vampire, they are still far behind!

Who are you bastards??

……！

I ignored the enemy's doubts and shuttled between the enemies like the wind, constantly slashing and killing.

There is only one goal.

Save the hostages.

Drink Ah!

Glimps over Draster.

After a flash of sword light, the demons fell one after another.

Although his attack was heavy, his body was as light and sensitive as an arrow.

When I used monsters as my opponent, I already thought he was very strong... but now he is so strong that he cannot be compared with before.

Perhaps it is because of Xiao Taidao's ability that my ability to evaluate my strength has become stronger.

But considering that I always look at Drast with beautification filters, I know that this is not objective enough.

However, even if these eccentric bonuses are included, Draster is still far stronger than before.

Hello!What will happen to these women, you guys!?

I threw something behind me at the demon clan who wanted to take a woman as hostage as expected.

The blood-red trajectory pierced the demon's head.

What, what...!?

That's not...

Seeing that "thing" began to spread rapidly among the demons.

That's right, I threw it out...

It is the giant sickle used by their generals.

The weapon itself is very sharp, and I brought it here when I considered whether it would evolve into the current situation.

But this is far beyond imagination, and it's too good to have it.

The reason why they are restless...

"The general who leads his own side has not appeared no matter how long it took"

That's it.

This is why the morale of the army is so dispersed and uneasy.

And I just saw this...

Haha~ Because a little fool came to die alone, he killed her... Could she be a minion in your demon clan?

I stopped and said so pretentiously.

I have no habit of insulting the dead, it will be better if I simply do this.

No matter how cruel the demons are, they are still creatures with wisdom.

As long as they attack the mental side, their morale will be greatly reduced.

The army dominated by fear is probably not even a brave man.

Let me use this trick to relieve the resentment of watching Draster being forced into a desperate situation by you.

Speaking of which, I don’t seem to have my name reported yet, right?I'm Philea.He is the comrade-in-arms of the brave Draster... For you demons, it is faster to say that they are "saints"?

For humans, doing so can bring more attention to Draster's actions.

For the demon clan, doing so can deepen their impression of the emergence of a powerful enemy and then become desperate.

Fortunately, my voice is both clear and bright.

In addition, because Draster is a brave man, he is not very good at performing such pretentious performances.

So I left the subtle performances like this that make people suspicious.

Varied--!?

While the enemy was still surprised, I moved again and chopped at the demons and the others.

Then force the hostages out.

To be honest, these guys are very important. As long as they can be successfully rescued, they can achieve what Draster said is "give everyone courage."

On the contrary, if the plan fails because they become a burden, other means will be used.

So, I really hope they can escape back to the city as soon as possible...but handcuffs and shackles hinder them.

Philea!Please these people!

Draster, who rescued all the hostages in his sight, shouted like this.

Then he continued to rush into the enemy formation alone.

"reckless"

This word came to my mind instantly.

Draster is also a human being.

It is impossible to compete with so many demon kings at the same time relying on just one person.

But...even if that's the case... I believe him!

Everyone, escape as soon as possible!I will protect your lives!

Hero adult...

Saint Maiden...

Each of them shouted like a rescued look on their faces.

...However, even when I see their expressions, my mood won't be better.

Was it hurt?Could it be dead, right?

Compared to their lives, what I worry more about is Draster, who is betting on his own life at this moment.

What's more, they must have been dissatisfied with the brave.

"Don't worry about guys like this, I really want to go directly to Draster."

I was full of thoughts like this.

…But, I have said that I will believe Drast.

And he is the brave, and he has already asked me.

So I have to keep their lives even if I die, and this is my mission.

In this case, there is no need to get stuck in such a place.

You still have a lot of things to say to us who have been delaying so long, right?

Be cautious, humble, and polite...

In order to make them full of hope, I carefully choose my own words and phrases.

If the brave are an existence that can give everyone courage, then what kind of existence is the saint?

Perhaps it is just like the literal meaning of "Saint" to match the sacred female talents.

But unfortunately, I not only have a bad personality, but also trained to be a very lewd woman, and I have nothing to do with the sacred ones.

... Unfortunately, I can't find the answer.

I had to act according to my image first.

I always say that, after all, my personality is so bad.

But I hope you can help me first

What should I do...

Just run.Just run back towards that city.Please

I said as I waved the little sword in my hand.

The emotion that surged in my heart and the effect of magic made me easily cut off the handcuffs and shackles.

I know

Although they became weakened by cruel abuse, they still accepted my request.

When I come again, I only have to escape back.

Then let's go

Very OK...!

After I showed the pretentious smile that wouldn't usually appear in front of Draster, they nodded and agreed.

OK, it went smoothly.

Then I immediately asked them to start moving...

…!It won't matter, I will definitely protect everyone's lives.Please believe me

But the Demon King Army seemed reluctant to release people and kept shooting arrows at us.

I stopped all the arrows that shot us.

This difficult move may not be too difficult for me before, but it is no longer a problem for me now.

What's more, the number of arrows flying here has become less and less with time.

That's right...it's precisely because Draster is fighting for us behind the scenes.

He was fighting alone in the enemy group.

Even if I haven't seen it, I know how powerful and difficult it is.

Although I want to rush over immediately even this second, it is not enough not to complete the right thing to do in advance.

I haven't completed the task yet, so I can't go to him.

here!hurry up!

The man's screams rang out from the exterior wall in front.

I saw that the city gate opened slightly to a gap for people to pass through.

...Maybe the urban residents who were anxious to see this situation were kind and cheerful.

Fortunately, it has not evolved to the point where "The Demon King Army is so terrible, we will not open the door!'The situation happened.

It seems that humans are not that bad.

They just asked!

Yes!

The women passing through the door kept thanking me one after another.

If I were the one I used to... I might be happy at this time.

Although I realized that my thoughts had changed, I just thought it was actually pretty good.

Let’s leave it to us next!

After confirming that the last person passed, the man dressed as a soldier with a gun said.

Finally, I can get to him.

Just thinking of this, the power flowed out continuously.

but……

Please wait a moment!

...Is there anything else?

I was about to turn around and sprint, and I was stopped by the soldiers.

You come in too!

...How could I do this...Ah.

I just realized that he was worried about me.

"There are already people outside who can fight the Demon King Army alone, just leave it to him. Even if you go there, the situation will not improve."

I usually think so.

Thank you very much for your concern.But I'm going

Cocoa but...

Compared to this, you will be asked to be a command about those women and... to inform the city.

OK?

"The brave Draster is fighting bravely to protect this city" news

Dlast said he would turn everything around.

Although I don't know what to do.

But, since Dlast has said that.

Then, all I can do is trust and help him more than anyone else.

It is indeed the brave Lord is very strong...but only...

Even so, I still believe him

I lived for Drast.

Therefore, it has no relationship with reason and theory, but an emotional problem.

I don't want to worry about this kind of thing.

I did this because I wanted to do it. I am such a willful guy.

And Lord Drast is not only one person.I'm beside him

you……

If you believe in Lord Draster, please appreciate his heroic posture on the exterior wall

……

He looked half-believing and half-doubted.

This is the expression on the soldier's face.

But... even if I believe it is only half of it, it surprises me.

No, it's still important to Draster.

I want to return to him as soon as possible and fight with him.

OK, please close the door quickly

But……

Go quickly!It’s okay to escape, and it’s okay to believe in the brave.Please tell everyone the facts!

Yes yes!

He answered after I shouted so hard at the panic-ridden soldier.

...The door slowly closed again.

Although I didn't mean that from the beginning, I really didn't even have a way out to escape.

I'll go there now

I said this in a low voice.

Then, following his inner emotions, he rushed towards the battlefield where only Dlast fought alone.

Strangely, I don't feel scared.

Nor does he feel the mission when confronting the Vampire.

There is only a warm feeling.

Even if you really die here, you will be satisfied as long as you can die with Draster.

Of course, I won't accept this ending.

……

Along the way, I saw the scene of demon corpses everywhere.

The land was dyed blue, and a scene like hell appeared before my eyes.

And just ahead, there was a figure that was making a big fuss and slaughtering the enemy.

Lord Draster!

I cooperated with Dlast's actions and worked together to kill the enemy.

Then at that moment, our eyes met.

And just the moment when the eyes meet, we know each other’s thoughts.

Draster just now should be asking, "Where are those hostages?"'What's the matter.

So I responded to him with a slight smile.

"Sent to the city safely"

The smile contains this meaning.

……！

The attacks of the demons were coming like guns and bullets.

Among them are attacks from the body, attacks from weapons, and attacks from magic.

After avoiding all these attacks, Draster fired back one by one.

Just rely on this move and move to knock down the enemies one by one.

Draster is very strong.

Even the blood-sucking Ji Lumina, who made me feel dying and fought in blood, was not as good as Draster.

I'm afraid even if I devote my life to practicing, I can't surpass him.

Before his death... no, even after coming to this world, there were almost no guys who participated in the war saying anything.

Although I want to complain about myself like this, the gap in strength is really that obvious.

So……

……ha-!

I'll let Draster kill the enemy more happily.

Draster is also a human being.

As long as you wield a weapon, even if it is small, there will always be flaws.

Once the number of enemies increases, even the smallest flaws will become fatal injuries.

Although Dlast has the strength that even so can't hit him.

However, if the avoidance or defense actions made to make up for the flaws can be cancelled...

Ga Ah…!

After Drast's slash, I waved the small sword in my hand as if I had made up for his flaw.

Then, Dlast continued to cut up as if he had made up for my flaws.

Once, twice, three times...

We are becoming more and more skilled as the number of times increases.

Gaha!

The speed of destroying the enemy climbed upwards as if I could not believe it myself.

Although I had experienced this sense of coordination when fighting with him before, it is more obvious now.

I know all about how Draster will move and what attack methods will be used next.

The direction of dodging, the next target, the preparation of magic, the attacks that need to be supplemented, and the magic that needs to be cast.

All of these do not require language communication, so we can communicate with each other.

Hahaha...Philia

Huh...yes, I'm so happy

I couldn't help but smile.

And Draster seemed to feel an unprecedented sense of excitement like me.

This is not the pleasure of indulging in the battle.

It is not the stimulation of death passing by.

Instead, it creates a sense of joy with your lover.

Do you think you can win?

I asked a question that already knew the answer.

If this continues, I'm afraid I won't win

...I knew from the very beginning.

Draster is also a human being.

Even if you can achieve small battle victories by relying on the brave, you cannot win in the strategy of the general direction.

I know this fact that no matter who knows it, I am quite clear.

But, we will win.Can you trust me?

I probably haven't doubted you once, right?

My attitude was a little tougher.

If it weren't for this situation, I'd probably not have said that.

But, this is all my truth.

From the beginning of this world, I have decided to give everything for Draster and fight for him to a happy ending.

So, I will never betray him.

I will always believe him until the last moment comes.

That's right... Thank you so much

Well~ What should I say... It's so happy.

Maybe I would be considered a very easy-to-kill girl, but I just fell in love with it.

Now I feel like I can just keep fighting like this.

Although Draster said it was impossible, I always felt that I could continue to kill this and defeat the entire demon army.

Then Ah, Draster

Um?

The two men dancing a two-person dance that was intertwined by swords and magic, slaughtering the enemy while talking to each other.

Have you become a brand new brave man?

Yes.Look back

After Draster and I exchanged positions in the sword dance, we saw the city's gates gradually opened.

Although I haven't noticed it so far, my eyesight is actually quite good.

I could see the people passing through the door, all with firm will.

Everyone had weapons in their hands.

Among them, there were people who did not look like soldiers, but who temporarily picked up the guys around them as weapons.

"The brave man who gives everyone courage"...

Perhaps the scene I saw in front of me was already a witness to this scene.

This is an action that I, who only thinks about Drast, cannot do.

This is what is called "that"?The so-called "power of brave men".

……What's wrong.

Why do I feel my heart keeps beating?

This is...well, it must be that strenuous exercise has activated the heart and lungs.

Woo wow AhAhAhAhAh!?

Disappointing screams came from the Demon King Army.

Facing Draster, me and the rising people, the demons began to run away one after another.

That's right... They lost their commander and were ravaged so badly by the brave men who were natural enemies alone, and reinforcements joined the human side.

It is normal for those guys with severe morale to feel a strong sense of fear.

In terms of the gap in combat power, the Demon King Army still has an advantage. This has not changed.

This is an unquestionable fact.

Look at the people behind us.

Soldiers who are not used to fighting, people who are not involved in fighting, and even the elderly, weak, women and children appear.

If these people were to the battlefield, if they were normal, they would have long been transformed into hell drawings that could not even be called war.

But now we are sure to win.

An army that can only escape is like a carnivorous beast without sharp claws and sharp teeth.

Now is a good opportunity.Philea, start chasing!

Yes!

I followed Drast's instructions and began to chase and kill the escaped demons.

Finally, just speaking of the results...

A few hours later, a long blue bloody road appeared on the ground.
