25 - Battle of the Great North Wall

Next morning.

Aside from waking up with Alka patting me on the head again.

We finished our meal early and headed for the guild.

What the hell is this?　What's this?

We were surprised to see a bulletin board where quests were being ordered.

There was not even a space big enough to hold a finger, and there were so many quest requests pasted all over the board.

And because there was no place to put them, they were piled on top of each other, and as a result, the request forms at the bottom were so tattered that it was hard to tell how long they had been there.

I had heard that there were not so many orders, but I didn't know there were this many.

I'd heard there weren't many orders, but I didn't realize there were so few. The question is which ones to take on, but I don't think we can break through the current situation here if we just keep on killing demons.

I agree. The actual a lot more you are able to get, the more you will be able to get. You said the demons are coming down from the northern mountains, right?

Yes. That means their nest is somewhere in the mountains. But when it comes to that area, it might be quicker to ask Frail-sama directly than the guild.

I see. The actuality is that you can't just go to the store and buy a new one.

The first time I went to the guild, I was in the middle of the Guild's meeting with the Guild's president, and I was not sure what to expect.

I'm so sorry about yesterday.

I'm really sorry about yesterday. ......

The first thing that comes to mind is that Frail bowed deeply to me.

I'm sure he felt responsible for the fact that he was the lord of the castle and all he could do was just watch.

In fact, since yesterday, a messenger came to the inn and asked to use the guest room of the castle for sleeping, but I politely declined the offer.

Of course, it was not because of yesterday's incident or anything like that.

I was sorry to go to all that trouble, but I also felt that it would be better to stay at the inn if we were going to make out. I don't know what was absolutely better.

I don't know what is absolutely better, but it is certainly more comfortable to stay at an inn.

I guess he took that into consideration. Perhaps.

No, don't worry about it. Alka said he didn't mind either.

"Yes, that's right."

He was finally reassured by our words.

Thank you.

The softness returned to Frail-sama's face as well.

By the way, the castle seems to be very noisy. ......

The truth is, the invasion of demons has been intensifying since the other day, and all the soldiers, including Magmael, have been mobilized to defend the castle.

I see. And what is the situation?

"It is not good. So, if possible, I would like to ask for your help as well.

Naturally, I responded immediately.

I understand. Is that all right with you, Alka?

Yes, of course. Yes, of course. That's why we came here in the first place.

After nodding to each other, I told Frail-sama.

I'm going to join the front line right away.

Thank you very much. On behalf of everyone in the town, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please be safe.

Yes.

We nodded in unison and hurried to the Great North Wall.

◇ ◇Oh!

OLA!

--OLLA!

GIGEEK!

I thrust my blade into the back of Vritra, a large quadrupedal dragon species, and slashed at the next demon.

The battle situation on the Great North Wall was more serious than I had thought, and in addition to the majority of wolf-type demons - Garm, there were even large dragon species such as Vritra.

Incidentally, the dragon that ate me before was one of the same large dragon species as this Vritra, and I forget its name, but I think its meat was surprisingly tasty.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Aaahhhhhh!　and Arka blows away all the Garms at once.

As expected of the saint of spear - she still seems to have plenty of time left.

How is the other saint, Magmael, doing?

"Pierce me!　Fang of Pure Light--Sunlight Vermilion!

--Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!

She was reaping demons from the top of the Great North Wall with a technique of tremendous power.

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to use it.

Ha, ha ......"

But as expected, there are too many of them.

Unlike me, she does not have inexhaustible stamina, no matter how powerful her jutsu may be.

Even from a distance, I could see that she was breathing painfully on her shoulders.

It's not good, Iguza!　It's a wyvern!

What?

Although it was only a medium or medium-sized dragon, a flying dragon type - a wyvern - passed through the front line and headed in a straight line toward the Great North Wall.

The target--yes, Magmel.

d*mn!

I rushed toward her, kicking the earth.

Magmel was so worn out that she could only stand on her staff.

With that body, it would be impossible to land a blow that would knock down a wyvern.

But then again, he probably didn't have the strength to run away either.

"Just in time!

I was running as fast as I could, but even if I were to fly up that wall after reaching the Great North Face, I would never make it in time at my current pace.

The only possibility was to fly in firebird form.

But because of its size, it is not that fast.

What then?

What should we do?

The only way to make it in time, under the circumstances, is to go faster and faster.

We have to fly faster.

--It has to fly through the sky!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

--Woah woah woah woah woah woah!

At that moment, flames engulfed my body, and my phoenix robes changed.

It was a change as robust as armor and as majestic as a bird soaring in the sky...... No, it was an evolution.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

--Zusha!

"Ggahhhhhhhh!"

"...... eh?"

That's why I was able to make it in time.

Because I was - now I was flying in the sky as a person.

It was the moment of the birth of the second form of the Phoenix Robe--the "Suzaku Form.
