The World After Leaving the Hero Party

20 – My heart – 1

The attack, which started from outside the garrison, was getting stronger.

-Kooo!!

The enemies were the beasts of Baegak and those who wore the robes seen in Baekam Palace.

Those who used the existing white beasts to acquire life came to attack the garrison directly because I intervened and life recovery became impossible.

“Fight as taught by the wise man!”

“Keep attacking! Continue!!”

In the past, they would have been defeated, but perhaps thanks to their steady training, the kingdom’s army was fighting well against the beasts of the White Sea.

The problem is not them, but the people in the robes.

In other words, they were Baekwolgyo.

– Woo woo woo woo…!!

As if it was quite intrusive that the Kingdom Army was fighting well against the beasts of the White Sea, the Baekwol cultists raised their staffs.

“Oh My God…”

The red moon is fixed in the night sky.

It was a blood-red moon that proved that this world was in hardcore mode.

its color changes

in white.

A pure white color that cannot exist in this world.

-Cooo!!

The changed moonlight illuminates the black sky and strengthens the white beasts prepared on the battlefield.

Seeing the size of the beasts of the white darkness, which have the ability to become stronger with the power of the pale moon, and their weapons, sharp teeth and claws, became stronger, General Leoden exclaimed urgently.

“Sage!! This, this!”

“Don’t worry.”

I have something prepared for this.

I rolled up my arms. Then, a bracelet with a red jewel from the dungeon the other day was revealed, and it began to spread bloody light as if resisting the pale moonlight.

-Chang-Geurang!!

“Uh, why did you do that?!”

The pale moonlight shattered with the sharp sound of breaking glass.

When the white moon disappeared in the sky and the red moon rose again, the followers of Baekwol shouted in bewilderment, and I laughed at them.

“You must have forgotten that I am a sage.”

“As expected, there is nothing you don’t know!! Attack!!”

When the strengthened white beasts returned to normal, the kingdom’s army began to attack them. And, as the turmoil intensified, three strong men came out of the garrison.

“Haaa!!”

The hero Claire, the knight Leventia, and the elf archer Evangeline.

As they step forward and attack the white beasts with the kingdom’s army, the morale that has risen due to the de-enhancement begins to soar. When I was satisfied with confirming them fighting even better.

“Okay! Here I play…!!”

Will you please bear with me?!

Pulling up Lark holding the lute while brushing my hair, I saw the Baekwol cultists. They raised their wands as if they were trying to create another pale moonlight.

late.

-Quad Deuk!!

“Ugh!!”

The head of one of Baekwol Bridge was also smashed. By a big, heavy, and handsome mace.

It was none other than Veronica who crushed his head.

She cried out coldly as she held onto the mace dripping with blood and brains.

“Wipe out the cultists who resist the light!!”

“Oh, soon!! The witch of light!!”

sooner or later I was entering the rear from the time I came in and messed around.

Don’t you know the hindsight? rear attention?

“Yaaa!!”

The Baekwol cultists seemed quite taken aback by the success of the surprise attack. However, they are also quite strong event mobs, so I tried to quickly organize and respond.

“Yah-ho!”

“How much was the bounty for one of those guys’ heads?!”

“I don’t know! Get it now!”

Money-crazed adventurers pop out with their eyes wide open and start attacking them.

It seems that even Baekwolgyo did not have the ability to withstand three or four Baekwolgyo attacking each one.

The moment when one of Baekwolgyo, who had been pushed back for a long time, screamed and collapsed.

I shouted as I raised my staff.

“Catch those who can be captured alive!!”

I need to get some info!

The surprise attack in the middle of the night was able to finish without much damage thanks to the preparations already made.

General Leoden was delighted, the knights were satisfied, and the soldiers were relieved.

Of course, it wasn’t that there was no damage at all, but it was a level that could be laughed off with this much damage from that level of attack.

There were no deaths, perhaps because the battle was fought with the Heretic Questioner and the Paladins, so the recovery was quick.

There were quite a few wounded, but they were pulled to the rear and intensive care was promised, so there was no problem.

“Heh heh.”

“hehehe?”

I clicked my tongue as I saw the adventurers smiling with embarrassed faces.

these guys.

If I told them to capture those who could be captured alive, I would have thought they would cut their throats.

“No, the rebellion was too violent.”

A beastman warrior who wielded a hammer as his main weapon scratched his head, and a bearded dwarf wizard fiddled with his staff.

“He didn’t come up with a good wand.”

“No, that’s what you mean…”

How many Baekwol Christians did the adventurers deal with, but how come none of them were captured alive?

I looked at them in bewilderment, and they again shyly averted their gaze.

Ugh. There are no idiots among real adventurers.

“But I caught it! Sage-nim! I helped you catch it, so why don’t you party with me next time? Hey~ It’s very easy to go around dungeons with a party with Sage-nim. Which dungeon should we go next? Which dungeon should we go to?”

Only the werewolf boy shaman, Wilkes, was proud and excited.

but hey

Isn’t all you doing is tying up the Baekwol cultist who I slapped on the back with a shadow?

Isn’t it a bit embarrassing to put a spoon on everything I’ve caught and say that?

“Eh, hehehe.”

Wilkes also averted his gaze, slightly ashamed of whether he knew that.

They’re great guys.

How can you be so embarrassing in a situation like this?

“I got it anyway, so that’s okay.”

Veronica, whose black priestly robe was covered in blood, approached. Stained with blood, brains, pieces of bone and flesh, she glanced back as she slung her mace around her waist.

“Turn it off… turn it off…”

Still, quite a few of the Baekwol Christians captured by the Paladins were still alive. Of course, if being alive includes breathing.

Seeing them gasping for breath with their limbs completely smashed, I clutched my forehead.

Ha… Really.

“Should I help them recover?”

General Leoden, who had grasped the situation, asked in a hesitant manner, and I looked at Veronica. But she just avoided my gaze.

“As believers in the light, there will be no priests who can heal evil cultists.”

“Then I’ll do it. What. Hill.”

One person who was pointed with a cane recovers a little. It’s difficult to completely recover from injuries due to the wise man’s penalty, but you can still take care of your spirit.

“Turn it off…”

Baekwolgyo, who barely came to his senses, opened his eyes and flinched. Wriggling like a bug, General Leoden approached him and grabbed him by the collar and asked.

“What are your identities? And what is your purpose? Also…”

“I know that, so I’ll tell you separately. That’s not what’s important.”

“Ugh, uhm.”

Recalling what I saw in the game, I put the general back and caught him.

“Temple of the Moon. Is it complete? Looks like the Pale Moon has also been summoned.”

“…Yeah, how did you do that?”

“All right.”

Things were progressing faster than expected. Then there is no need to waste any more time here.

-Kwajik!!

I smashed his head with my cane and got up.

“Now! It’s treasure hunting time! I’ll make a suggestion to General Leoden and give him a reward vacation of 9 nights and 10 days!”

At the word reward vacation, the soldiers of the kingdom’s army twinkled their eyes. soldiers too. Vacation seems to do anything.

“Look around the kids and find out if there’s anything special.”

“Is it something special?”

“Something like a coded text or something like that. Or a ring-shaped ornament would be nice.”

“Sage! What about adventurers?”

“Bounty!”

“Jooooh!”

Knights, paladins, and even adventurers under General Leoden.

I searched for the arms of Baekwolgyo who had been captured and came to check the battlefield.

While they were busy moving like that, I sat on a chair nearby and fiddled with the lute, and when I was in tune, I bounced the lute.

-Diri-ring~ Ding~ Ding~ Dididing~ Ding~

The music that spread across the battlefield after the battle was slowly relieving the stress accumulated from the battle. Those who were spread out rested a little more comfortably. Tears were shed by those mourning the injuries of their comrades, and rest by those who were suffering from their own injuries.

When you finish playing one song like that.

I met eyes with three women standing in one place.

“What you looking at?”

Claire, Leventia, and Evangeline.

Right before fighting the demon king.

A performance I did to boost everyone’s morale and relieve anxiety.

It sounds like you’re emotional, but…

I didn’t have that kind of emotion.

“I found it!”

I continued to play again, ignoring their gaze, and when I finished the third song, a soldier ran towards me, as if he had found what I wanted.

What he was holding in his hand was a stone tablet with a lot of unknown characters written on it in the shape of a disc the size of a palm.

“Oh! Great! Win!”

“Yah-ho!!”

After glancing at General Leoden, I looked around at the slate.

Then Claire, who hesitated and approached, pointed to the slate and asked.

“what’s this?”

“It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“What is this?”

Veronica’s voice came from behind Claire. She flinched and turned her head away, and while meeting Claire’s complex gaze indifferently, as if to show off, she came closer to me than she did.

“It’s an ancient sacred text. Unfortunately, it’s at a level I can’t decipher.”

Did he win the Cardinal’s seat by fighting?

Cardinal should know.

I looked at her and sighed.

“Evangeline knows the ancient hieroglyphs. Shall we ask her?”

As if waiting, Claire shouted.

Veronica bit her lip as she approached, as though seizing the opportunity to help me, and I shook my head.

“uh?”

“I know how to decode it too.”

Among the thief’s skills, there is text decoding. He is a sage who can use all skills, and there are many achievements related to this skill, so of course he learned it in his spare time.

As such, there was no need for Evangeline’s help.

“That’s right.”

“It’s amazing. Deciphering the ancient sacred script won’t be easy…”

“Have something like this.”

I fiddled with the disk, and after some adjustments, the hole in the disk opened and a sharp white stone rose from inside.

– Woo woo woo…

The light is emitted with a low vibration sound. When those who were curious about it looked this way.

“oh?!”

A ray of light began to shoot from the tip of the sharp jewel.

Seeing this, Veronica swallowed lightly and squeezed the bloody mace tightly.

“What is that light?”

“This light?”

He spoke in the direction the light shooting through the darkness was pointing.

“It’s the home of Baegwol Bridge…”

“…interest?”

“The altar for descending the pale moon, where the temple of the moon is located.”

and.

This is where we can end this event.

“Yaya! Everyone gather!”

The end of this event is the battle against the pale moon inside the dungeon called Temple of the Moon.

In other words, it is a story that it is necessary to select people as much as it is necessary to enter the dungeon.

As I shouted, the powerful swarmed around me.

Claire, Leventia and Evangeline as well as Lark and Wilkers.

Knights including General Leoden.

And even Veronica and the Paladins.

Of many I will take…

“Lark, Wilkes.”

“Huh? Sage-sama! Really? Hey~ After all, Sage-sama and I are fantastic partners?! Even in the dungeon we went to last time, our hands and feet don’t match…”

“Huh? Me?”

“And since I have this bracelet, I can take one more person because I am not included in the number of people… the other one.”

A normal player would bring a strong character here.

And so it is in general.

Here, Claire, Leventia, and Evangeline, who were among the strongest when viewed objectively, were nervous and swallowed their saliva.

of course.

I am not a regular player or regular person.

“Veronica. Are you going?”

“…Huh. Of course.”

When Veronica, who glanced at them, stepped out triumphantly, Claire shouted with a clear expression of embarrassment.

“Hey, wait! Hyunwoo! Why? Why?”

“Why?”

Service is the heart of the giver, and party composition is the heart of the weaver.
