The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

23 – Quite a Suspicious Boss Employee (8)

“Secretary!”

“Don’t come!”

Celestine waved her hand as she tried to come this way.

The distance with Celestine is too far.

Celestine may be attacked while we are here.

And a wizard never moves alone like this.

There must be more swordsmen.

If he realizes that I am not Patrick, he will immediately attack Patrick from behind, so Celestine must be there.

I opened the lid of the elixir with my teeth and drank it at once.

The energy of the elixir spread throughout the body along with the insane pain.

As he kicked off the ground and bounced forward, objects around him stretched left and right.

The attack magic that flew in to block me passed right next to me at tremendous speed.

Uh woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo-

The magic hit the ground and a slow roar rang out.

As we ran towards the place where the flash of magic flashed, the swordsmen hiding among the trees appeared.

Stop it!

I swung the Nightrend a few times as I passed between them.

Deng-geo-deng-deng-deng- The necks of the swordsmen floated in the air and rotated slowly as if they were rotating.

In front of me, I saw a wizard in a black robe chanting a spell with fearful eyes.

As soon as he stood in front of the wizard, smashing the tree blocking his path, a blue flash exploded from the wizard’s hand.

I pushed my Knightrend forward and received the magic with my body.

My hair stood on end and my muscles twitched, it seemed to be a lightning-type magic.

As he rushed, tearing up the magic, despair fell on the wizard’s face.

As the age trend split the wizard’s waist from left to right, his intestines and blood poured out, causing the wizard to fall forward.

At the same time, the effect of the elixir ended and everything returned to normal.

“Secretary!!”

At that moment, Celestine’s urgent cry was heard from below.

As I ran down the slope, a fierce battle was taking place between the swordsmen and Patrick.

Patrick, holding the Gambrinite Greatsword, was doing his own thing against a number of swordsmen, and Celestine was giving Patrick a divine buff from behind.

However, since a weapon is a weapon, it only prevents them from approaching any more, but it is not possible to get an effective hit.

I joined the battle scene and slammed the nearest guy’s head into Nightrend.

Celestine screamed in surprise as he cut off his left shoulder from the top of his head like tofu.

Even so, she stretched out one hand to me and began to infuse holy power into Patrick and me at the same time.

After receiving the divine buff, the pain from being hit by magic went away and his body became lighter.

A multi-target buff is great, isn’t it?

You did a really good job picking that up.

I drew a dagger from my chest while pulling Nightrend, and put it right between the forehead of the guy who was struggling from the other side.

The man with the dagger deeply lodged in his forehead fell backwards.

The last one who saw it threw the knife and turned around and started to run away.

I ran and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, driving a dagger into his thigh.

“Keep it off!!”

I started squeezing the guy’s throat while maximizing the effectiveness of the elixir still remaining in my body.

His fingertips dug into the flesh and muscle, and as soon as he touched the hard neck bone, he twisted his wrist and broke it.

“Kyaaa!!”

As the severed head landed on the floor, Celestine screamed and turned off his divine power.

“Good work, everyone.”

Patrick smiled as he wiped the blood from his face with a handkerchief.

“You don’t look like words.”

Looking down, the cloak and leather armor were burnt and torn in places.

“I was hit directly by lightning-type magic. It flew so fast that I had no time to dodge.”

“You mean you survived being hit by magic?”

Patrick looked me up and down again, looking very curious.

“As expected, demon hunters… And breaking their necks with their bare hands.”

“Well, by the way, even mobilizing a wizard to catch Mr. Patrick. You don’t seem to be an ordinary person.”

When I took a quick look, Patrick just smiled and didn’t really respond to my words.

“Money is a scary thing.”

That was all he gave.

While we were talking, Celestine looked at the corpses strewn about the floor, pale and trembling.

It was a cruel sight that could never be seen clearly unless one had a fair amount of mental strength.

Maybe that’s why Celestine’s face was glistening with sweat, and drops of sweat were dripping down her chin.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes… Is the secretary okay…?”

“As you can see, I’m fine.”

Celestine looked at me and said.

“I don’t think so… Take off your armor.”

“Here?”

“You’ve been burned. If you keep wearing armor and sweating in this weather, it might rot.”

I hurriedly took off my armor at the word that it would rot.

“Oh my gosh. The scars are huge.”

As soon as I took off my pants, Patrick looked at me in admiration again.

Celestine dyed both of his hands golden, squinting his eyes as much as possible so as not to look at my body.

As the warm and gentle energy passed over the wound, the wound healed visibly quickly and new skin began to grow.

As expected, there is nothing like divine treatment for trauma such as abrasions or cuts.

If I had gone to the temple and received this, I would have had to pay bloody gold coins to the offering box again.

When I tried to put on the armor again after the treatment, it was something I couldn’t possibly wear.

Patrick put the spilled stuff back together.

The wagon was broken, but fortunately all the horses survived, so we decided to load it up.

I threw away quite a bit of furniture and took only essential documents and ledgers, sample weapons and armor, and magic scrolls.

I put the magic scroll in a big bag I brought to see if I could get a demon head.

“Is a scroll also a trading product?”

“No. This is necessary for the operation of the branch.”

Patrick laughed and snatched the scroll hilt from my hand and put it on the saddle of his horse.

“By the way, Celestine, you are amazing.”

“What is it…?”

At my praise, Celestine blinked as if she really didn’t understand.

“You buffed me and Patrick at the same time earlier. That’s really difficult.”

“It’s not that much… Of course you have to know how to do it… If you’re a Halo saint…”

Celestine hurriedly averted her gaze and hesitated.

“If you launch Halo, you can just do multi-target…”

“I’m talking to you, not Halo.”

“Ah…?”

At my words, Celestine opened her eyes wide and looked up at me.

“Isn’t it Halo…?”

“Is Halo you?”

“It’s not like that… But it’s because I was able to do it because I’m a Halo saint…”

“You’re not strong because you’re strong, you’re strong because you’re strong.”

Then Celestine half-opened her mouth stupidly.

“Anyway, that’s great. Getting you into the guild is probably the best thing I’ve done this year.”

“Thank you…”

Celestine’s face began to turn red.

Why are you here? Are you not used to compliments?

If it was a Halo saintess, she would have supported her so much that her mouth would dry out.

Even after that, Celestine muttered something to herself all the way back, laughed bashfully and scratched her head.

That’s stupid, that one.

Still, it’s really cute to see him being so shy.

Sweep, snip.

Around sunset we were able to reach Sule.

The wizards and swordsmen from before were probably the last of the chasers, and no one was following them anymore.

As he entered town, Patrick stopped him.

“You’re finally here. Good work, you two.”

Patrick pulled out his purse from his bag and handed it to him.

“This is a request fee.”

The money bag was very heavy. Even without counting, the amount was roughly estimated.

“Thank you. Please entrust me again in the future.”

“I’m going to set up a branch in a pre-rented commercial building downtown. Come visit us later. We’re dealing with all the weapons and armor you need for the guild, and other miscellaneous things.”

He is a person who is very accustomed to doing business.

“Okay. Our guild is also slowly growing in size, so we’ll make sure to stop by sometime.”

I was about to say goodbye when Patrick suddenly stopped me.

“Wait a minute, Mr. Leonard. Please wait.”

Patrick pulled out a sack from his horse and began rummaging through it.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to use the armor you’re wearing anymore, so try this one.”

What came out of Patrick’s hand was a smooth dark brown leather armor.

I immediately recognized what kind of leather it was.

“Could that be Ciratus leather?”

“That’s right. You have a great eye. Few people recognize you.”

“You made armor out of that precious hide?”

“Don’t be afraid. It’s free. Try it and buy more if you like it.”

“I don’t know what it is, but it looks good, so get it.”

Beside me, Celestine whispered and stabbed my arm.
