The World After Leaving the Hero Party

22 – Pale Moon – 1

Having found the target, all that remains is to move.

Entering the Temple of the Moon are me, Wilkers, Lark, and Veronica.

These four waited in the rear and decided to enter while the warrior party and detached troops attacked the guys guarding the temple in the church.

“Come on. Everyone get ready.”

It was then. Claire, who had been watching from afar, approached.

“Lark. Musicians prefer to fight outside dungeons, don’t they?”

“Huh? Uh. That’s true.”

“Then… if Hyeonu approves, can I go in instead?”

“Huh? Well, that doesn’t matter. Hey. Sage. Are you okay?”

I was in charge of organizing the party, and after all, Lark can move only with my permission.

So Claire approached me and said in a desperate tone.

“Hey… Hyeonu. If you don’t like me, Leventiana… Evangeline is fine. I can follow your orders more than Mr. Lark. If you want…”

“Are you willing to sacrifice your life?”

nod

Claire shook her head slightly, her face as hazy as if it were covered in dark clouds.

Leventia and Evangeline, standing far away, also looked similar to her. I just, just eagerly look at this side.

“Hmm. Doesn’t a party need a musician?”

While I was thinking, Veronica stepped out. At her voice, Claire shook her shoulders and stared at me with watery eyes.

“What are you going to do? Sage. I will respect your opinion. Of course, if it’s you, you can solve the problem without any problems even if the number of people changes. But.”

“However?”

“Isn’t that the reason you brought up the story in the first place because that’s the best composition?”

Not really.

The most important thing in the final battle of the Pale Moon event is Veronica, and the rest of the staff just need to support her.

I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t taught the Kingdom Army how to deal with the White Beast, but in a situation where I had already taught it, the party formation didn’t mean much to me.

“Because from the Church’s point of view, it is most important to punish xie jiao and eliminate threats.”

At Veronica’s firm words, Claire slightly clenched her fists. Then, while staring at her calmly, he licked his dry lips.

“…Cardinal Veronica.”

“Yes. Hero. Why?”

“What you’re saying… are you saying it purely for the sake of the church?”

“Why do you think I, a cardinal, might have other intentions?”

“If it’s Hyeonu, he can think of other ways. And we’ve been working hand-to-hand with Hyeonu for a long time. So…”

“Oh. Did you put your hands and feet together like that… to do something like that?”

A smirk, as Veronica’s lips twisted, Claire winced and lowered her head.

How is the situation going strangely? Even Wilkes, who had been chattering without understanding the atmosphere, shut his mouth, and Lark was sweating profusely.

I’ll have to sort it out soon.

“Enough. There’s no need to fight for self-restraint in front of the enemy.”

“then?”

“It goes as planned in advance.”

Claire’s shoulders drooped even more, and Veronica smiled triumphantly.

When that was over, Lark scratched the back of his head with his long tail.

“Did you just give me room for nothing?

“It’s okay. How about it. It could be.”

“You always say things like that. So…”

When Veronica tried to give me advice, Claire shook her head sadly.

“No… It looks like I asked too much. Mr. Lark. I’m sorry. Hyeonu. I’m sorry. Then…”

After apologizing, Claire took a heavy step. As she returned to her seat, General Leoden approached.

“Can we start soon?”

“Yes? Ah. Yes. Do it.”

With my permission, General Leoden raised the flag.

The prepared detached unit quickly started running towards the temple of the moon.

“Come on. Let’s get ready to go too.”

I raised the lance used by knights. If you use the knight’s skill, lance charging, it will be easier to clear the road.

As I mounted my warhorse, Lark and Wilkes also rode on the prepared horses.

“Oops.”

Veronica rode behind me so naturally.

I turned my head slightly towards her who stretched out her long arms and wrapped them around my waist and hugged me confidently.

“what?”

“I don’t know how to ride a horse. And since I have to wear a protective shield just in case, isn’t it better to ride together? I’ve done it before.”

Baek had made similar moves in the village. When Veronica mentioned it, I shrugged.

“What have you been doing since you didn’t even learn to ride a horse?”

“Because the position of cardinal is quite busy.”

“I don’t know if it’s okay for the cardinal to hold an extramarital man like this?”

“You’re an alien man.”

She laughed at my joke.

“How about it. It could be.”

You’re so cool

Unlike the three of them who keep staring this way over there.

“Anyway, is everyone ready?”

I held the reins with one hand and squeezed the lance.

Perhaps because the battle had already begun, to the battlefield where the detached troops, the white beast, and the Baekwol cultists were fighting fiercely.

“Lance charging!!”

Horses trample and crush the corpse of Baekwol, whose head was blown off by my lance.

“Shadow!”

Then, the shadow created by Wilkes’ magic creates a path.

-Kikiiik! Ding ding ding! Tiri-ri-ri-ring!!

The white beasts hesitate at the deafening terrible performance of Lark.

“The light will burn in this place!!”

The flames of light created by Veronica rain down on the beasts of the chalk.

and.

“Charging Lance!!”

My lance charging continued.

It was the first time putting our hands and feet together, but the four of us were able to head towards the Temple of the Moon without any problems.

“Hey~! As expected, Sage-sama! You’ve got the timing right! You did the same in the last dungeon! Ah! Come to think of it, he’s doing well, right? My friend!”

“…him?”

As Wilkes shouted with a bright smile, Veronica, who was behind me, asked. Then, Lark blew a flute, not a lute, to interfere with the enemy’s movement with a dissonant sound.

“I’m talking about the wise man’s disciple! That… She’s quite talented and cute-looking, and her musical sensibilities matched well with me!”

If Lucille hears that, she’ll start a match. I heard you even had nightmares after hearing your performance and song.

“Oh… that’s right. It’s amazing. I hear that princess. She doesn’t come out of her room and doesn’t get along well with people. Did she manage to become close with her and take her outside?”

“I’m friendly with everyone.”

“…Anyway, won’t you introduce me to me?”

“Huh? Why?”

“No. He said he was your disciple.”

I jumped up swinging my lance, splitting the chest of the White Moon cultist who was trying to attack me, then threw my dagger. As soon as the black robed dagger pierced the forehead and opened the path, Wilkers’s shadow widened the path, and my lance charging kicked back one of the beasts in the chalk.

“No, I mean. Why did you take my student… ugh?!”

Veronica’s hand pinched my side. I frowned at her pouting lips as if pouty, then swung the reins and looked around.

-Quaaang!!

-Push-shoo-shoot!!

Byeoldongdae was fighting pretty well. There doesn’t seem to be much damage, perhaps thanks to the teaching of how to deal with the white beast.

And the members and adventurers who joined from the church are doing a good job blocking the Baekwol Church.

-Kooo!!

Occasionally, beasts appeared that were too powerful for them to deal with. But there was no problem with that either.

-Puuu!!

There are strong people on this side too.

Wilkes marveled as he watched the body of the beast, the size of a three-story building, explode.

“Wow. Is that Leventia-sama’s Tiger Blow? It’s amazing…”

“Rather than that, Evangeline’s guide shot is amazing.”

Tiger Blow, a knight-type ultimate skill that destroys large enemies with a powerful blow, and Guide Shot, an archer’s ultimate skill, that moves one arrow freely and only aims at the enemy’s vital points.

And, Claire, a warrior who supports them, wields the warrior’s sword, defeats enemies, and inspires allies with strength.

The performance of the three women was clearly noticeable even here.

“…Looking at it like this, it’s strong.”

“Because I didn’t win by hitting the devil when I faced the demon king.”

“Hey! Sage! Coming this way!!”

At that time, a huge white beast pushed back the detachment and blocked our way to the Temple of the Moon.

“Um, that looks pretty strong…?”

“Sage! Relative law…”

Don’t worry, you only need to attack the weak points. I heard Wilkes’ quivering voice and raised my lance.

That moment.

-Quaaang!!

Leventia, who was fighting the white beast from the other side, jumped up. Leventia, who flew through the air at high speed like a falling meteor and attacked the white beast, slowly raised her body and looked at me.

what? Are you asking for a compliment?

However, she seemed to be satisfied with me just by looking at her, and she began to face the white beast.

“…Let’s go.”

Veronica, watching her intense battle, spoke briefly. okay. I don’t have time to watch him fight.

The place where they arrived after passing through the battlefield was a white building. Arriving in front of the temple with only stairs going down to the basement, Wilkes said with a tremble.

“Sage. There are three people in here?”

“I know. That’s why I…”

I lifted the bracelet, and at that moment, a red light emanated from Veronica’s body.

“Now. Now then…”

“…what are you doing?”

“Don’t be expensive with something holding your hand.”

Holding her hand like when I was attacking in the game, I beckoned to Wilkers and Lark. When they entered, I said to Veronica, who looked puzzled.

“Let’s go in with a tie. One, two.”

“mmm… One. Two.”

Through the door of the space created by the two of them, Veronica and I stepped out at the same time. At that moment, my eyes flashed, and a place different from the place I had been before appeared.

“What is this…”

It was a wide hallway. Wilkes, who had come in first and looked around, fidgeted with the wall, showing a serious expression.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a material like this. Sage. Do you know what this is?”

“I don’t know either.”

Because it’s not even in the game.

“Ou. Sage-nim. Was there something that even Sage-nim didn’t know?”

“It’s just me who knows.”

“Ghm. So, isn’t there a trap?”

There are no pitfalls.

There is only one thing to face in this dungeon.

Because there is only one pale moon that exists at the end of this corridor.

As I walked down the hallway without thinking about the trap, the three of them quickly followed me, and I told them how to deal with the Pale Moon as I walked.

“Okay. Then we can go in now.”

When I finished explaining to everyone, I arrived at the door at the end of the hallway. Everyone kept their mouths shut with a nervous look, probably because of the ominous feeling beyond that door.

“Are you ready?”

Nod, the three of them nodded and resolved, and I opened the door.

“Oh my gosh…”

“U-what is that?”

“…There was… something like that?”

Inside the gate was a square as large as the previous battlefield.

which is in the center.

A pale orb that emits a soft light.

and.

“…come.”

Hundreds of tentacles hiding in the shadow of the sphere.

The moment the tentacle swayed.

The white orb split and the yellow eyes flashed.

ruler.

This is the end of the event.

Stay alert.

If you can’t break this, it’s game over.
