Chapter 192
Moving Forward
Ghoul monsters flew toward the expedition.
The sheer volume swarming the open plain was enough to instill fear, but one man walked forward.
It was Jonathan Sina.
"Come at me then!"
Jonathan Sina swung the axe he held widely.
En ü.mǎ
That axe was what his ancestor, one of the 12 Heroes, had used, an item that carried on the North's lineage.
The runes engraved on the axe glowed, and he struck the ground.

Kuuung!!
Vibrations spreading in a conical shape.
The charging ghouls had no choice but to take those vibrations head-on with their bodies.
Tududuk!
Ѐ n̈umа̇ .ї d̄
The ghoul monster at the very front collapsed with its limbs shattered, and the further back they were, the noticeably the damage decreased.
Doesn't matter.
After all, what he did just now was buying time.
He just waited for them to slow down and clump together at the same time.

"Mana Bomb!"
The biggest weakness of monsters is pure mana.
Е̊ ńu m а
Mana Bombs thrown by 4th Circle or higher mages are dense and sweep a wide area.
-Kieek!
With sharp sounds, the ghoul monsters convulsed and collapsed.
Pure mana became poison and severed their tenacious lives.
The people who play the biggest role in the Demon Land are mages.
There were three: Platinum Adventurer Eri and Regent Ferda Valdrova, and a Gold-grade Veteran Adventurer Mage.

'They're all incredible!'
Eri is originally a Platinum Adventurer, so it's only natural she puts out that much power.
On the other hand, Ferda, whom expectations were low for, was different.
From the start, one couldn't help but admire the spheres he formed.
Just as there's a saying that there's no royal road to magic, even if one easily achieved and rose up, if the foundation is a mess, it can collapse.
But the spheres Ferda is showing are precise and clean enough that he must have honed his magic day and night.
Е̄ṅ u m̄ а̊
That clean magic aimed accurately at targets and poisoned all the monsters in the vicinity.
'He wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't hold them back.'

It was enough to change the thought of him as an arrogant brat.
Ferda was performing that well, but inside, he was also struggling to death.
'This is definitely an environment where mages can't properly perform.'
Demonic energy constantly clung to Ferda's body, making it not easy to maintain focus.

He wondered how Erika or Erdes managed to beat the Demon King in a place like this.
The advance that had been blocked at the front lines began again.
Erika grasped the situation and shouted.
"Rear attack complete! Rize-ssi!"

"Yes!"
Rize quickly drew runes and joined his hands.
Е_ṅüm̃ а̃ .і̂ d̃
Then a golden tree with lush leaves rose from his body in a hemisphere shape, enveloping the expedition.
-Kieek!
-Kieeek!
The monsters couldn't pierce those leaves.
The golden magic made the adventurers' eyes go wide.
"This is!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"It's the Sacred Area we've only heard about in rumors!"
Although the form is different, the ability of that magic is similar.
In the Alte Order, it's high-level magic that requires the Fifth Enlightenment, and unless it's an Order commission, it could hardly be seen.
"One minute, everyone!"
"Rear, reorganize! Front, middle! Eliminate as many as possible!"
Under Rize's blessing, the expedition began a one-sided monster slaughter.
W̌ е b̈ n̄ оv е́l̃ Еn u m̌а
Every time the adventurers swung their swords, monsters were cut in two.
Among them, the one standing out the most was undoubtedly Jonathan.

"Euryahahap!"
When Jonathan swung his axe widely, the monsters clinging to the barrier flew backward.
It was different from the thought that they'd be dealt with quickly since their bodies were frail.
"What kind of regeneration speed is that!?"
Е n̆um̌ а̊
Even split in half, sticky demonic energy clung and regenerated them.
Erika kept feeding situation-appropriate knowledge so they wouldn't panic.
"If you're going to split them, aim for the heart and split! That's the hardest place to recover!"
Whether he heard Erika's advice or not, Jonathan just focused on smashing the front-line monsters.

"It ends soon!"
Rize's shout was heard, and shortly after, the golden branches shrank and returned to Rize's grip.
Е̃ n̆ uḿ а
The thing blocking the recklessly charging ghoul monsters disappeared.
Monsters approach.
Even though they killed that many, a lot remain.
They need to buy time.
Erika deployed a special measure.
"Front line! Deploy!"

Jonathan and the Armor Knight must step forward and become a human wall.
"Look at me!"
Jonathan's voice like a lion's roar.
True to a Northerner's nature, unable to contain his boiling blood, he advanced forward.
Monsters all at once lunged at Jonathan.
A new rune was drawn from Rize's hand and flew toward Jonathan.
Ŵ_é b̀ n̈ о̄ v̈ еl̂ .Ěňŭm̃ã
Golden light wrapped around Jonathan's body, becoming like a glass membrane that enveloped him.
The ghoul monsters' attacks aimed at Jonathan's body were blocked by that membrane.

Meanwhile, the Armor Knight side had no protective measures at all.
But it doesn't matter.
Erika already knew how hard that armor is.
No matter how much ghoul monsters attack, piercing it is impossible.
Е̌ n̄u m̂а . і́d
Besides, a major measure wasn't even needed.
The Armor Knight, Valdrova, looked at the swarming ghouls and recalled her role.
'Clench fist.'
Place it just slightly forward.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thung!
Exploding shockwave and ghoul monsters turning into lumps of flesh.
Е̄nûm̊а̊
Bone fragments became bullets and stopped the approaching ghoul monsters.
It was power comparable to the 4th Circle spell Force Rush, no, even more outstanding.
'Amazing.'
'Which monastery's monk was this person?'
Every time she thrust her fist, air burst and monsters were pushed back - there was no more reliable wall.
Yet it wasn't enough.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even if each does their role, a human wall made of two people couldn't possibly do its job.
The ghouls that the front line couldn't filter out were blocked by those standing in the middle.
They were also quite skilled, but the insufficiency was unavoidable.
"Danger!"
"Virgil! One's going your way!"
A leaked monster lunged at the blond Virgil, exposing him to a ghoul monster's attack.
Ė n̈ùm а̀
"Euhahat!"
It was already too late to prepare another attack.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Virgil unconsciously squeezed his eyes shut.
Pushuk!
The sound of something piercing defenselessly.
But no pain is felt.
É ṅu m̊ a . і̆d̈
It wasn't his body that was pierced.
-Kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh......
What pierced the agile body was the Armor Knight's gauntlet.
What was held in her hand was a purple heart.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Armor Knight threw that monster's body straight toward where other monsters were charging.
Kugugung!
W̌ѐ b̊ n̂ о̆ ṽе̄ l Е nu̇mа̇
The ghoul's body became a heavy shell and swept away everything in a straight line.
All sorts of thoughts filled Virgil's head.
How did she jump in before the middle line and save him?
And how can she smash those monsters so easily?
With his complicated head, a dazed sound burst from his mouth.
"Th, there."

"?"
"Th, thank......"
Words of gratitude didn't easily fall from Virgil's mouth.
Before they could, Erika's shout brought their spirits back.
"Front line, return! Middle line, don't lose focus! Everyone dies!"
"Yes!"
Е ǹu̇ mà.і̆ d
The Armor Knight just nodded her head and returned to her role.
She was considerably slower than when she ran toward Virgil, but still agile.

The Valdrova inside the armor thought.
'Someone almost died.'
That sentence kept circling in Valdrova's heart.
Reacting to a briefly burst scream, she forgot her role for a moment and ran backward.
Ẅеb̆ nоv̀ e ľ É nu m̀ ă
'What I must do is protect everyone.'
What needs to be done for that is simple.
It's what she always did.
'Advance.'

So that all enemies' eyes turn to her.
Leaving behind Jonathan, who couldn't be easily pierced, she advances forward.
Én ům̂ а̇ . і̌ d
Even saying she wears armor that nothing can pierce, it was a reckless act before monsters.
Nevertheless, the Armor Knight kicked off the ground and advanced forward.
A powerful leap swept through the hundreds of remaining monsters.
All she has is that body.
But that alone was enough.
When the Armor Knight swings her fist, ghouls die one by one, and even that speed surpasses the ghouls' movements.

"Is she seriously catching them all by herself?"
"She really looks like she might......"
The party couldn't hide their admiration.
Even Jonathan, who thought he'd suffered humiliation in strength, was dazed by the spectacle.
'What's more surprising is that that's not that person's limit.'
Erika still believed that power wasn't the limit.
Е ň_ũm̈ ǎ
Boosting morale at the sight of the Armor Knight sweeping through like a crumbling bamboo, they pushed the ghoul monsters.
Contrary to thinking the end wouldn't be visible, thanks to the Armor Knight's performance, they saved half the expected expendable forces.

"Please confirm stragglers!"
"We, West and South clear!"
"East, North clear!"
"No more life reactions either."

"Everyone, good work."
One rough storm-like bout passed.
People lowering weapons and catching their breath.
Unlike that, the Armor Knight still stood still with her fist clenched.

"Knight-nim?"
"....."
W̊ еb ǹо̊v̀е l Ӗ ṅum̌ а̃
Erika calls out but there's no reaction.
Erika carefully approached and spoke.
"Armor Knight-nim, the operation is over. Now rest—."
Huuung!
The Armor Knight's figure vanished for a moment.
When the figure appeared again, rough wind pressure struck Erika's cheek.

The gauntlet had stopped right in front of Erika.
The two stared at each other for a while, then Erika asked.
"Are you alright?"
......Nod nod.
"That's a relief. You worked hard at the front line."
Erika encouraged the Armor Knight and turned away.
Е̄ nu̇ mа
She pretended to check the surroundings and turned her back on everyone.
'Big trouble.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Emotion was leaking out.
Uncontrolled emotion was plainly revealed on her face.
That emotion was fear.
'Just...... what is that?'
Ёn̄ŭ mа_
Although she has human appearance, her eyes are eyes that received Dragon's Grace.
She, who had confidence in her reaction speed after going through all sorts of things, couldn't respond even a little.
The moment she perceived it, everything was over.
Though it ended as an attempted attack, Erika felt it clearly.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'If I'd been hit by that attack, I would've died for sure.'
Even with good luck, Erika wouldn't have been the same as before.
È n u m̃ а̊
Even in that situation, she couldn't blame the Armor Knight.
Because the Armor Knight herself was even more flustered.
It was certain.
Since she couldn't see through the inside, she doesn't know the expression, but the body gestures spoke.
Hesitation that comes out when making a big mistake was visible.
As a leader, Erika pushed back the fear instinct brings, and had to pass it off as if nothing happened.

Valdrova, who returned to her senses, raised her head and looked back.
She saw everyone safe.
Like that, they'd cut down over 300 ghoul monsters and the path opened.
Even reaching the entrance of Gyeonghui Palace, no one rejoiced or easily stepped inside.
"Will there be even more than this inside?"
"Who knows."
Е̊ n̈ ů m̂а.ìd̃
"I hope this was the biggest ordeal......"
Even harboring fear, they stubbornly advanced forward.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Upon entering, the first place visible was a location like a Mansion Entrance Hall.
It's a structure perfect for someone to lie in wait and ambush, so it's the most tense moment.
"No monsters detected."
Hearing the mage's detection result, they breathe a sigh of relief.

"For now, let's use the entrance hall as a base and do a light mapping. There are three branching paths, so let's split into three and first find the rough paths."
The places where paths branch from the entrance hall were largely three.
The longest front path and two relatively short side paths.
The most dangerous zone was assigned to Erika, Virgil, Jonathan Sina, and one unknown swordsman - four people total.

They were people who had worked operations with Erika in the monster subjugation battle.
"Rize-ssi, please take the left side with these people. And the rest take the right."
Wе b̀_n̈ ȯve̊ l̀ Е ń umа̇
The rest organized that way were Ferda, two unknown adventurers, and the Armor Knight.
"Counting on you."
"We're the ones counting on you."
With the organized groups, they began exploring Gyeonghui Palace's right path.
Time is 30 minutes.
The purpose of this mapping is to take in as many places as possible within a short time and report what's there.

Since it's the first time entering an unknown place, just reporting the approximate number of rooms and notable oddities is enough.
That's why the two veteran adventurers said this to Ferda and the Armor Knight.
"Just follow behind us."
"You must come without touching anything."
Since it's dangerous work, the veteran adventurers decided to purely trust only their own abilities.
Ferda and the Armor Knight ended up walking side by side, three steps behind.
Ӗ n̂ um а̌
They weren't close to begin with, but Ferda was already uncomfortable.
"Any problem?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Shake shake!
The Armor Knight couldn't hide her nervousness.
She seemed fine when entering, but standing next to Ferda, all her actions felt stiff.
Her glancing sideways also makes one think she's waiting to strike the back of his head.
W̌е̊ b̌n̄ оṽеl Ӗn ûm̂а̂
'Better to go to Rize's side.'
He wanted to talk to Erika.
The two veterans examined traps and passage shapes while drawing the map.
Ferda's eyes, following behind the path they were pioneering, caught a space.

A study-like room filled with many books.
Ferda's intuition struck.

That perhaps the answer might be in there.
