110. Decision Card

I succeeded in catching the demon fragment that was summoned earlier.

In addition, I had to remove the big headache of twin demons.

It wouldn’t be too much trouble if it was just me, but Master stepped in.

At that level, it was a strange level for the twin demons to endure.

So I thought this job was done really perfectly and well.

However, when I came to the royal castle and looked at the state, it was not like that again.

“… What are you talking about. The king comes and goes?”

“Yes. Master. My condition is not good, and my healing is not going well.”

Lily reaped the sanctuary after taking care of the people.

The guy’s expression wasn’t very bright, so when I asked him why, he gave me a rather shocking answer.

A red fog that covered the entire capital.

The king also wore it, but it is said that it has been in poor condition ever since.

From the beginning, my energy was very damaged and I wasn’t healthy psychologically.

It is said that her body and mind are collapsing helplessly as something unidentified has been thrown into it.

That was Lily’s explanation of the king’s current condition.

“It’s not just the king. All soldiers and knights are the same.”

I tried to heal people, but they say it’s not working as well as usual.

As if it was blocked by something and could not be healed.

No matter how much you declare the sanctuary and pour in the holy power, the desired effect doesn’t come out.

“… Do you think it’s similar to when you healed Garam?”

“It’s not at the same level, it’s the same. I can’t be deeply involved. All I can do is reach out a helping hand and the other person catches it or not. It’s just waiting for it.”

As if this had never happened before, Lily bit her lip and clenched her fist.

Still, she is a divine warrior whose name is even called a saint.

Healed many injured people and performed miracles by raising even the dying.

This time, the miracle seems resentful because it can’t even use its hands properly.

“Is enmity an enmity? I will be thrilled.”

“What can I do, Master? Soldiers and knights are young, so how can they hold on? And there’s a high chance that you’ll get out of bed soon. But the king is different. I am old, my energy has been damaged, and I have been mentally driven, so I don’t think it will be easy to recover.”

“… It’s embarrassing.”

Is the phrase “Won the battle but lost the war” Used in this context?

I succeeded in preventing the arrival of the worst hell that the kingdom fell over.

However, that success was only half-baked, and in the end, people’s fear and panic could not be stopped.

The battle took place right in front of the capital city, not anywhere else.

Even the opponent was a man named Prince, who was quiet in the royal family.

The followers he led were demon worshipers, and they attacked the capital.

At this point, it’s not just about the security and safety of life.

I can’t trust the royal family, and furthermore, I can easily doubt even the people around me.

A man called a prince, moreover, a man who heard the sound of a hero suddenly changed and brought death.

But how many guys can cheer for good just because they won?

Anyway, countless people were killed or injured in the battle.

The people inside the royal castle say they are fine, but their families have collapsed.

There will be anger and hostility that comes out of it, but of course fear and sadness will also come out.

And those feelings are what goddamn drunk worshipers so desperately want.

Finally, King Carlos II fell.

And he vomited blood in front of many people.

I won, but I didn’t win. This is not a tie level, but a decision level.

– f*ck…. –

And my worries came back as a reality.

Dejii and Gerard came to check the magic circle installed in the castle.

They came to me and told me about the royal atmosphere.

“Master. I think the atmosphere is too bad….”

“Sister Daisy’s word for it. No, it’s more than bad, it’s ugly.”

“Is that enough?”

“Yes. Starting from the fall of the king, all sorts of bad words are circulating. That this is not the end, that a great death will come soon and all the people here will be burned away.”

“There are already signs of leaving the capital city.”

Damn it. Even if that bastard fragment of the Demon God hadn’t just pooped.

Even if you put your nose in the almost ready-made rice, you can still eat it very coolly.

If I had known this would happen, I wonder if it would have been better to place a little more people on the side of the castle.

If you think about it again, I also managed to catch the fragments of the Demon God just barely.

And since this side also did its best, it was right to see it as force majeure.

Above all, before the return of Iris, he and I were not in the royal battle.

In addition, the disciples who participated in the battle for the royal castle arrived a little late.

According to Iris’ memories, the royal castle was already overrun when his disciples arrived.

A piece of hell had arrived, he had clearly said.

In other words, it is right to see that the situation then and now are completely different.

It is impossible to create a perfect scenario with only fragmentary information.

And there is no guarantee that things will go according to the scenario.

“I’m sorry, Master.”

“Sorry, Master.”

“You have done enough. If there’s a problem, it’s my fault for misaligning personnel.”

It’s all the same, the reason why I can’t push areas in the game is because of me.

You’ve done all the training and they have good abilities, but you lost?

I made a mistake in the strategy, or the layout was strange, or something like that.

There is nothing different here. Just because you’re a warrior, you can’t always be omnipotent.

“Daisy Blossom, Gerard Geranium.”

“Yes, Master.”

“You two go inside the castle again. And let’s show you how to prepare a little more thoroughly so that there will never be a tragedy in the capital again. There is nothing special to do. Do what you do. Daisy, you reinforce the magic circle and make a new one. Gerard, you just have to lead his knights and show them how to practice defense.”

“… Create an opportunity for the people of Wangseong to take psychological stability, are you saying?”

As expected, Gerard is quick to point out exactly what I want.

In the current situation, the first priority is to melt people’s hearts.

The capital was attacked, countless soldiers were killed or injured, and even the king fell.

At a time like this, there is only one place they can lean on, and that is the warriors.

Those who can protect themselves to the end no matter what the situation may be.

If those warriors show how to deal with it so that it never happens again.

It can calm the agitated people’s minds to some extent.

And as the number of people who gradually regain their stability increases, the rumors that spread wildly will also subside.

“Oh, and take Iris with you.”

“Yes? Master. Iris won’t be of much help, will it?”

“I’m not asking you to do anything. Until now, if the warriors had taken personal actions apart from each other, now we have to show that the warriors are not just co-workers, they are close friends. Then people will be more relieved, and rumors in a good way will spread.”

Shards of demons, hostility towards this world, and those who follow them.

The fight against them isn’t just about warriors.

In the game, there’s nothing that can be done besides combat, so I did that.

Anyone who has lived in the 21st century Korea knows how important public sentiment is.

If you are instigated, the country will perish, and if you endure there, you will survive.

Gerard, Daisy, and even Iris.

After sending the three disciples into the castle, I turned my head.

There was Master, who was watching the situation with a tongue-in-cheek expression.

“Master?”

“Hyunah. Look over there look at what i’m doing What you are doing now is praying.”

“….”

“How stupid and foolish you are. No matter how good the gods of heaven and earth are, now is not the time to pray to heaven, but to move your sincerity to impress the heavens.”

The reason Master is so sharp is probably because of the members of the church.

The surviving soldiers ran around looking for wounded soldiers.

While the knights were celebrating their victory somehow to boost their morale.

The priests of the church continued to pray in a gloomy atmosphere.

From their point of view, that prayer is very natural.

Not an act of giving up something and begging for a miracle, just a prayer for everyone.

But to Master, it was nothing more than just kneeling down and praying.

“Originally, it is natural for them to do that. It’s like a kind of ritual to the sky.”

“I’m not talking about holding a ceremony. Aren’t you supposed to be doing something? He came late and didn’t even fight, so how can he look at it with a good eye?”

Tsk tsk, Master clicked his tongue and then turned to me.

I mean, did you come to this teacher because you have something to say?

“Please take a look at Lily and Iris for a moment.”

“Where are you going?”

“Yes. Actually, one disciple hasn’t shown up yet. It seems to be waiting for me.”

“… I seem to remember The guy that a grown-up wife whimpered like a child. Is that right?”

I had to laugh bitterly at Master’s words.

It’s true that she’s a grown-up, and it’s also true that she struggled like a child.

I was hoping that things would get better now.

If that’s not the case, you’ll have to force yourself to grow.

“The guy who said you should never say that going alone is dangerous is actually going alone.”

Master said that with sharp eyes and a voice.

Actually, that part bothers me too, but I can’t help it.

He’s such a shy guy, you’d better go alone in order to quickly find him and bring him back.

“This guy. You treat your master very well.”

“I will make sure to pay that price later.”

“Don’t worry. You will have to pay for it sooner or later anyway.”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t I tell you something?”

“Ah….”

Surely he said so.

The ultimate state that even demon fragments could reach.

He said he would teach me how to climb to that height.

“You better be prepared. Aren’t you a mean disciple who dares to take everything from me?”

“Hey, Master. Still, it’s a bit unfair that I’m a bad disciple….”

“It’s noisy. Please tell me to go quickly.”

At Master’s urging, I nodded.

And just as he was about to throw himself off.

“Hyunah.”

“Yes? Ah yes. Master.”

“… Take good care of yourself.”

At that person’s words, I nodded slightly.
