212 Episode 212 "Ritual For Selecting The Next" Hero Guild "And The Invasion Of The Third Power".Txt
From the perspective of the Original Heroes' Guild.
The strongest party of the 'Original Heroic Guild' was advancing through the forest.
Beyond the trees, they could see a snow-covered mountain.
That's the mountain where the Frost Basilisk lives.
To reach it, they would have to defeat numerous demons.
But we can't afford to lose. We have to show that we, the Original Brave Men's Guild, are the only true brave men.
""Yes, yes,"
What's up? You're talking too loud.
''Well, as expected, my magic power is at ...... and my magic is limited to one more time, so it's time to recover.
All right. Well, I guess I'll have to do it then.
""...... haha"
'The next demon that comes up, let's go home!
The original Heroic Guild Leader, Joos-Kosaka, raised his staff, which was engraved with flames.
''This is where the distance to the mountain of the 'Frost Basilisk' is about 72% of the distance remaining. Seventy percent to go. Let's move on to the cut-off point.
""...... is a yes."
''Don't worry. "Don't worry, I have the Flame Wand. Because of this wand, I can face the Frost Basilisk without fear.
The lord of the 'Northern Town of Hermilt' fled back from that basilisk, didn't he?
One of his subordinates blurted out.
Hearing this, Jose-Kosaka smiled and
It's sad. A lord who doesn't know his own vessel is a lord who doesn't know his own vessel: ......
...... reader.
At the very least, we can fill you in on your mistakes. I'm sure that the lords will see the error of their ways and stop discriminating against wizards. When you show them the results, they will know who the real brave men are.
Joos-Kosaka declared.
'There can only be (・・・・・・・・) one (・・・・・) true guild of the brave chosen (・・・・・). Those who are not chosen will have to take control of the chosen one. It's been decided (・・・・・・) so (・・・・).
I know.
We follow Mr. Joss's thoughts at .......
For wizards are the ones who should be treated as brave!
Three of his men raised their voices. Their eyes sparkled.
They were the adventurers of the 'Northern Town of Hermilt'.
They were dissatisfied with their lord's methods, but Joss-Kosaka had guided them. There are many doubts, but for now, they have no choice but to follow him. Because he is a brave man with super strength.
I don't care if I fall by the wayside.
Jose-Kosaka brushed back his black hair and murmured.
It's just that I can't forgive the swordsmen for looking down on wizards as cowards who just shoot magic from behind. I'm willing to risk my life to change their minds. I'll make every sacrifice I can to defeat a powerful demon!
""Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Gaga: ──── swoon!
As if in response to their voices - the screams of the demons resounded.
The self-proclaimed brave Jose-Kosaka and his friends stopped in their tracks.
A pale beast appeared from behind a sparse tree.
It was a huge tiger covered in ice.
Frozen Tiger.
A huge tiger, over two meters long.
It has sharp fangs and claws. Its supple movements allow it to capture its prey in an instant.
It has ice-like attributes.
Its claws and fangs have the ability to freeze.
There are three "frozen tigers".
There are three Frozen Tigers, the larger of which is followed by two smaller ones.
From their mouths, they exhale breath that is covered in ice particles. Although they are not as good as the Frost Basilisk, they are still powerful demons. If you're not sure about this, you'll have to ask yourself, "What are you doing?
You have to use defensive magic! In the meantime, I'll play my trump card!
""Yes, sir!"
The three people behind him started chanting.
At the same time, 'Frozen Tiger' kicked the ground.
''The 'Flame Wall' (Flame Wall)!''
Boom.
A burning wall appears in front of Frozen Tiger's eyes.
The tremendous amount of heat causes Frozen Tiger to stop in its tracks.
But it only lasts for a few seconds.
The tiger's entire body was covered in cold air and he jumped over the wall of fire in one fell swoop.
"Rah rah rah rah!
You're late. I'm ready to go. Come on! "The Fiery Fiend (Efreet)!
A giant clad in crimson flames appeared in front of Jos-Kosaka's eyes.
Its body was just under three meters in size. It was muscular, and its crimson hair was swaying like a flame.
The wizards under their command cheered. This is the proof that Joss-Kosaka is a brave man. The most powerful, summoning magic.
''UGoOOOOOOO!!!''
And then the battle between "Efreet" and "Frozen Tiger" began.
A few hours later
Everybody! Thank you.
'Hey, I'm finally back in the village ...... and I'm tired ...... and it's been a tough day.'
Joos-Kosaka and his wizards arrived at a village in the mountains.
This is the place where the "Original Heroes' Guild" is based.
It's a small village where people hunt and gather in the mountains and there are about a dozen houses.
The Honke Brave Men's Guild had made this place their temporary home for the purpose of defeating the Frost Basilisk.
It's a good thing that you're back. Brave man.
An elder of the village greeted them.
'It's good to see you are safe. So, I would like to talk to you. ......
Yeah. We can talk about it. Look at this.
Jose-Kosaka pulled a pure white fang from the leather bag.
'It took me a while,' he said. It took some time, but we succeeded in defeating a powerful demon. This will make it clear to everyone in the village that we are the brave ones, right?
'Ha, ha. I see that some of you are injured.
Can I have the herb?
I don't mind that. ......
The elder looked away from Jose-Kosaka as he turned away.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave the village now, sir.
"? I don't know what you're talking about.
You are based in a tower, right? You don't need to be in this village ......?
The towers are meant to prepare for the enemy guild's attack. The reason we are renting this village in between is to defeat the 'Frost Basilisk'. That's not our purpose.
'I am sorry to tell you, but since your arrival, demons have been appearing around the ...... village. Perhaps they have followed a trail of blood to the village.
Okay. We'll head out to take them down tomorrow.
'No, not exactly!
The elder shouted out.
Before he knew it, the villagers had come out of the house.
They were staring at Jose-Kosaka and the others with cold eyes.
This village was originally intended to be a place for gathering and hunting. We've lived quietly, away from the nawabari of demons. Please leave them alone: ......
Okay, I get it.
Do you understand?
I suppose they had to live on their own without any regard for that lord. But there's no need to worry about it. I'm not going to let you live like that anymore, now that we're here. We will defeat all the demons and make sure that you can live freely.
............ Oh.
The elder crumbled disconsolately.
''Ever since those who call themselves the 'Original Heroic Guild' came to the village, it's been like this ever since they came to the village.
They are strong. They can defeat the demons that the villagers cannot defeat.
But that's all. They leave the defeated demons alone and don't even collect the materials. Even if I told them to recover them, "I'm not fighting for that! I'm just angry. Even though the villagers tried to dispose of the demon's corpse, they couldn't follow where they were going.
As this continued, demons began to gather around the village, attracted by the scent of blood.
Up until now, there were certain places around the village where the demons would come and not come. That has been completely broken. The villagers no longer know what is safe and dangerous.
''I'll say it again. I'll say it again, I did it for your sake...
It's a demon...! There's a herd of 'Frozen Tigers'!
Suddenly, a shout went up.
It came from the watchtower in the center of the village.
'It's coming from the mountains to the west! The number is ...... There are eight of them!
Eight "Frozen Tigers"? You can't even win one of them! 'Ahhhhhhhh! ''How could this happen ...... when no strong demon is supposed to come here!
Oh, my God, you guys! These, these fangs!
The elder takes a bite out of Joos-Kosaka.
'These fangs! He must have taken it from the "Frozen Tiger" he defeated! Of course, you've wiped out the enemy, haven't you! You've removed the blood, haven't you!
No, we were only able to take out one of them due to lack of strength.
──── Huh!
I've collected the fangs of the guy I beat as proof of my score: ......
Jose-Kosaka picked up the leather bag.
Upon closer inspection, he saw a small hole in it, through which drops of blood had fallen.
It seems that he had accidentally torn it open when he put the fangs of the 'Frozen Tiger' in it.
''You are! Your organization! You're doing this all the time! Forcibly occupying the village and raiding the demon's Nawabari!
'No, no, this is my own decision. Lately, the guild's structure has changed. We're going to discuss our strategy with everyone and decide. But ...... what shall we do? My 'Fiery Demon (Efreet)' can only take out one of them.
Jose-Kosaka looked at his companions behind him.
They were all breathing heavily. They could at least run, but not in combat.
'Good. We're retreating.
""Riiiiiiight, I got it!"
Huh? "Wait a minute! "You're the ones who brought the demons to me! You're running away! Well, at least fight until the villagers get away!
...... I told you that the lords are responsible for the tragedy in this village?
Jose-Kosaka's tone changed.
He stepped back, declaring in a cold voice, as if he was a different person from earlier.
Immediately after, a 'Flame Wall' is created between him and the villagers. The people shouting foul-mouthed words become invisible.
We can't let our mistakes turn into points for the enemy. Times have changed.
The days of 'White Guild' and 'Guildmaster' are over, and we're fighting to determine the next 'Guild of the Brave'. We have no choice but to do this too: ......
Leader." "I know." "We're with the leader.
Józse-Kósaka and the others start running.
Towards their home base, the tower in the forest.
And when they get to the exit of the village...
A crimson beam of light crossed through the forest.
The light cuts off the trees - it cleaves the trees.
The ray of light shot out from somewhere in the forest, cutting off the trees and splitting them in half. There is nothing to block that light, and everything is cut in half. And then it goes straight through the forest...
"Gah gah gah gah ────?
The eight "Frozen Tigers" were instantly killed.
It happened in an instant.
Rays of light penetrated the eight demons and burned them out.
Their skin, which was protected by the cold air, evaporated and their flesh was collectively reduced to ashes.
Wrapped in the crimson rays of light, the 'Frozen Tiger' disappeared without leaving even a drop of blood behind.
''...... na, what was that? A hero from the 'Original Heroic Guild'?
No, sir. It's magic. More wizards than us." "Enemies? Our side? ............ If there's magic like that, I don't know what 'Frost Basilisk' is.
Jose-Kosaka and the others begin to tremble.
We're already within range of that ray of light. We have to get away. Soon, the Wall of Fire will disappear. The villagers will follow. We have to run away now. ......
Hee hee hee.
Suddenly, there was the sound of an arrow.
Four arrows flew from the forest, four arrows. They pierced the hem of the robes of Jose-Kosaka and the others. They were lucky. If it had been off by a few inches, it would have been a direct hit to the body.
But - I can't move.
The clothes are completely sewn to the ground. You can't even pull out an arrow that is stuck deep in the ground.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with us. You are still a brave man.
...... haha.
The next thing I knew, the villagers were closing in behind me.
'Come! "Efreet!
Jose-Kosaka raised his staff.
A magic circle arose on the ground, and from it, a fire giant, about three meters tall, appeared.
''Tell the villagers!''
Hiding behind the 'Fire Giant (Efreet)', Joss-Kosaka raised his voice.
''That was a mistake! We made a mistake, for sure. But that man is testing to determine the next 'Guild of the Brave'. This is a very good thing. This is unavoidable, so...
"To the Original Guild of the Brave
I heard a voice. It came from the forest.
I looked and saw a figure slowly approaching toward the village.
He was wearing armor. He carried a black sword on his back.
The face is hidden by the hood, so you can't see it.
I'm not going to be able to tell. We are an organization for the brave, and our name is the Brave Only Company.
'Yugengaisha' ......!
I've heard of it.
It's an old corporate name. It's an old corporate name that's still in use today.
But that's the world that Joss-Cosaka was from. If you know that, then you must be from the same world as yourself.
'But! I don't know. I don't know of any 'Guild of the Brave' with that name!
Jose-Kosaka raised his voice.
''Only the 'Original Heroic Guild' and the 'Original Heroic Guild' were born from the 'White Guild'! There is no such thing as a 'Yuugengaisha' in the candidate (...) for the next generation of (・・・・) brave guilds (・・・・・)!
"...... is the next generation's guild of the brave.
The human shadow said.
You're just going around raiding demon's network and destroying villagers' homes. You're not going to be able to get away with it, so stop being a hero and use your powers to live a normal life. Don't ruin your visitors' reputation.'
"Hooray! Don't get so upset that you beat 'Frozen Tiger'!
"...... This one dealt with the demon you brought with you, though.
'We were going to go back to the tower and bring our people with us! Get that wrong and go off on your own!
"Screw you.
The voice said.
'You tried to sacrifice the people of the village, didn't you? All you've done is put the wizard in a bad position. What are you going to do by putting people at odds with each other any more? If there are demons and the Demon King is really there, this isn't the time to be fighting for power, is it?''
Shut up. Enough! Fight me!
Joss-Kosaka pointed the 'Fire Giant (Efreet)' at the figure.
''It's because you defeated the 'Frozen Tiger' with fire magic! I'm a wielder of fire magic too. I'm not as good as you! The 'Brave Guild' is just us, the 'Original Brave Guild'!
"You ...... what the hell do you want to do?
Huh, a sigh echoed around them.
''We're in the middle of a battle to choose the next generation of the 'Guild of the Brave'.
"...... The next generation of the ...... Brave Men's Guild
'Ah. It's a battle to decide whether it's the rear-guard wizard or the vanguard warrior who stands on top. I can't afford the means to get the arbiter (that one) to approve of me. I have no selfishness or selfishness in me!
''Even if it results in this village being attacked by a demon?
............ History will provide the answer.
Jose-Kosaka's lips twitched and he laughed.
'End of story! Kill him! "The Flame Giant (Efreet)!
'It's been a long time since I've had a conversation with someone from the same world.
The hooded figure seemed to sigh.
''Since you said you're trying to oppose a disgusting lord, I thought maybe you could get through to him.''
A chill ran down Jose-Kosaka's back when he heard the voice.
It was an uncomfortable feeling.
Why could he hear the other party's voice clearly at such a distance?
Why didn't he try to run away, knowing that the 'Fire Giant (Efreet)' was there?
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
You can't get away with it. I'd like to know when you were summoned, and what the king is doing now. But ...... I guess I can't help it anymore.'
A black figure held his sword at the ready.
Out of time. There's no way it can reach them.
However, the interval of the "Flame Giant (Efreet)" is wide. The length of its arms and the range of its flames allow it to attack the opponent first.
You can't get rid of it. Do it, 'Fire Giant (Efreet)'!
''Well, I'll cut it anyway. ''Ei.''
Buh.
The human figure's sword grew huge.
The arm of the "Fiery Titan" fell off.
"...U, U, U, Ugooooooooooo!
''Everyone is right, the magic sword works on the 'flame giant'? Then I wonder if the skill effects can be understood as well.''
The owner of the voice further waved his sword.
The Flame Titan can't move. Easily, they cut off his other arm as well.
...... sword extended?
I was caught off guard. I thought it was out of time. I didn't expect this to happen.
"Well, I'm going to replenish your magical power. I'm going to regenerate your arm! Come back! 'The Flame Giant'!
Jors-Korsaka shouted.
The "Fire Giant" who turned around this way...
"...HaaakushoooonnnN!
I sneezed flamingly.
Bosh.
A ball of flame popped at Jose-Kosaka's feet.
"...E.
"KusyunN! Ugoooooo!
No, no! Get away from me! It's coming!
The Flame Giant repeatedly sneezes. Each time, a ball of flame would fly out of his mouth.
It's a status abnormality.
The enemy had somehow caused the "Flame Titan" to go insane. That's why the flames are no longer under control.
The Flaming Titan is desperately trying to get back to us.
Joss Kosaka runs around with his head in his hands.
Then I get an idea. It's simple. All I have to do is eliminate the Flame Titan.
With that in mind, he waved his wand and...
Swoosh.
The "Flame Giant" disappeared.
''You think you can defeat me with this ......
Jose-Kosaka paid off his knees and stood up.
When he looked up, he met eyes with the villagers surrounding him.
「「「「..................」」」」
All of them are staring at themselves with a cold stare.
I wonder what happened to my subordinates ...... So I looked to the side and saw that they had all been seized.
''Calm down, let's talk about it.''
Jose-Kosaka held up his hands.
'Genius is something that is not understood. But someday you will realize my true intentions. What Józse-Cósaka did was right in the long run. You mustn't do anything that you will regret at that time. I'll think of you guys...
「「「「「...... you shut up already! 」」」」」
──────!
The screams of the leader of the Original Brave Men's Guild echoed through the mountain village.
─ Nagi's point of view...
It's done.
I told Lyra-san - Uriera-Grace in the forest.
I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
We also learned that they are trying to defeat the Frost Basilisk and that they are occupying this village.
Uriella-Grace has the memories of Lila-san and all the people who have come on the pilgrimage so far. Analyzing that information, it was easy to find out about the 'Original Brave Men's Guild'.
The 'Original Family Brave Guild' that occupied the tower also had to get a supply of food somewhere.
But they can't go back to the 'Northern Town of Hermilt'. That's why they should be relying on a village somewhere. That's why we've been checking out the area near this village.
We didn't expect them to invite any demons.
The one that defeated "Frozen Tiger" was Cecil's compression magic "Ancient Language Magic Flaming Arrow". The one that stopped Joss-Kosaka and the others was Rafilia's "Torrential Rain Archery" + "Bad Luck Annihilation". It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
''It's been a long time since I've wanted to talk to a brave person.
I thought that if you're against lords who discriminate against wizards, maybe you'll understand if you talk to them.
So I was actually planning on us defeating "Frozen Tiger" and then talking to Joss-Kosaka and the others. ...... I didn't think the heroes would leave the demons behind and run away... I'm sorry.
Because of that, the people in the village went nuts, and that's all I could say in the end.
I'm not such a good talker either.
I've defeated the central figure in the Original Brave Men's Guild. There are people who are occupying the tower, but if the ...... leader is gone and their strength is reduced, they'll quiet down.
By the way, the leader, a man named Joss-Kosaka, was tied up by the villagers. I heard that he was being dragged to the lord's place as it was.
In the village, the 'Yuugengaisha (Yuugen Company) ......?' I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before in my life. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
But still, I'm curious about ...... Jose-Kosaka's words. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what the next generation of "brave men's guild" is, what do you mean by that? There is no 'Guildmaster' anymore. Uriella-Grace isn't involved in such a conflict either.
If that's the case, who's going to make the decision about the next generation of the 'Guild of the Brave' ......?
Cecil and Raphilia, good job ......, what's up?
...... Nagi-sama and ...... master.
The next thing I knew, Cecil and Rafilia were grabbing my hands, squeezing them.
I was ...... scared. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with ...... "visitors" in front of you. ...... Don't do anything dangerous!
They were both teary-eyed.
''Well, I had ...... countermeasures in place. I asked Cecil to prepare the 'Arrow of the Fallen Power in the Ancient Language Version', so I was able to erase Efreet if the need arose. I also asked Cutlass and Aine to follow me.
But still, sir, we can't let him get hurt.
'I'm sorry. It's been a while since I've had a chance to talk to 'The Visitor'.
...... I thought that if "The White Guild" was gone, then maybe the visitors to "Be Brave" would have changed a bit.
But it was different.
On the contrary, it was like the 'Guildmaster' was gone and he was starting to run amok.
'Your request is over. Uriella-Grace.
I looked at Lila-san - Uriella-Grace.
''For now, we've stopped the 'Original Heroic Guild'. All that's left is for us to enter the 'Ancient Elf City' and your long ...... black mission is over.
Thank you. ......
'No problem. I've heard the story of The White Guild.
Guildmaster" = the residual thoughts of "Earth Dragon Earthgulls" like anger and sadness.
Talk about 'ancient elves' using it and all that.
So that's it, that's it.
'Now all we have to do is get Lyra back to town and we'll go to the 'Ancient Elven City'. And we'll take what's over there. That's it, right?
Yes, sir. This is my last service. I will guide the heir to the estate to the capital.
Uriella-Grace bowed deeply to us.
''You are the ones who will inherit the technology of the 'Ancient Elves' and change this world. Until I disappear, please let me call you 'Master'. My sister Raphilia's master, Souma-Nagi-sama.
Then Uriella-Grace smiled sadly.
