Chapter 78 (1/2)

78WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?

“…Why did it have to be like this?”

Rook Barusak was feeling he was about to collapse

Using his ga for many weeks towards the Deh a forest that was close to the demon territory, he had heard a shout that was closer to the scream of a woman

“Although I caht?”

The killing intent of gri Rook

In his current situation, Rook wanted to avoid crossing swords with the dereat number of demons until now, he didn´t want to kill any more of thenore the scream of the woman

“You are a human… What did you come to a place like this for?”

One of the demons slowly approached Rook

The de intent co from behind the trees, there were about ten to twenty more of them There should be no doubts that there were also de their arrows at him from the shadows of the trees

“Answer quickly We are not very patient”

Rook heard the sound of a bow being drawn from somewhere

It see of what he should say for them to spare him

If he was to honestly say that he came to talk with their provisional demon lord and have the princess back, the only result would be the him Moreover, they were common soldiers If he was to say that he was acquainted to Charlotte, there would be no way for theh chance of the

“I-I…”

Think, think, think…

It was the first tiht so seriously

“Quickly! Don´t waste more of our time!!”

A deood physique roared The howl that made the air tremble made Rook´s back muscles stood up Irritated, the demon crossed his arms

And it was at that moment

The eht Rook´s attention

“Ah”

That was the Gortoberuk´s family crest

Gortoberuk was a boss in the earlier parts of the game… He was the lord of Myuuz castle, which was coar Gortobeurk There was no mistake that those troops served one of the two In that case, shouldn´t the screao be Asty Gortoberuk´s?

“What is it? You have only three seconds left”

If saying it in a good way, both Rudogar and Asty were hot-blooded But saying it in a bad way, they were emotional commanders

“Three!”

However, this was reality For them to have led their troops for ht have the bad habit of being emotional, they certainly had the composure to lead an army

“Two!”

Besides, at least… Frohter duo of the Gortoberuk wouldn´t needlessly kill huhter, Asty Gortoberuk, who even though seeh, was actually a very kind woman at the core

“One!”

Rook didn´t have the tie for now Clenching his hands, Rook looked at the face of the demon that seemed to be their leader

“Zero!”

“I want to have a talk With you demons and me!”

Rook´s screa cold sweat, Rook orried if his voice had been drown out However, it seemed that his voice had reached the demons

“…What did you say?”

The deitated

That was obvious Since a long ti, hu each other Even if Rook suddenly says he wanted to talk, it was obvious they would beco it was a trap

“Say the truth, human”

It seeilant attitude just in case The denal by raising his hand And then, together with the sound of the wind being cut, so his eyes, Rook saw a sharp arrow stuck at the ground

“The next ti your head”

It see at all

Perhaps, if he was at their position, he also wouldn´t believe this Rook made a wry smile in his mind

“It is not a lie”

Rook took off the sword that was at his waist

Still inside the scabbard, he threw his beloved sword to the front Raising a sound, Rook´s beloved sword fell to the ground

“I am cos That´s why, let me have a discussion with your boss”

In reality, Rook was so scared he couldn´t bear

Every single one of the deher than hi possible to see it over the ar intent to the point ofthrowing his sword away over his life in a situation like this was so suicide Of course, Rook had trained hand-to-hand techniques a bit This was so of his previous world, but the judo he had learned when he was at iven an “A” score

…However, he couldn´t iainst the de him

Rook hadn´t trained in any techniques that concentrated his deainst those e the absurd Even if heavens and earth were overturned, it was difficult for him to be victorious

“…Are you really saying this?”

The demon was a bit surprised by Rook´s attitude

Before one could notice, so away Was it because showing killing intent beca? Or then, was it because they intended to report this to the Gortoberuk before acting?

“Yes, it´s the truth! I-I… want to talk with your boss Until I you give me your answer, I won´t move one step away from here!!”

Rook declared in a loud voice with all his strength

Rook was looking at the de “I did it! How is it now!?”, but the deuess his true intentions The pressure was to the point that made Rook´s feet miserably tre himself However, there was no way he could do that As if repelling the gazes of the delared back

“…”

How for one on?

Perhaps, it would be how many seconds

However, because of how heavy and agonizing these seconds had been, it felt like hours to Rook Because of that, Rook´s breathing started to becoh

The expression on the faces of the deazes that see into Rook beca didn´t have any effect It was an dreadful oppressive feeling of an extent like that Rook´s back was soaked in sweat and his legs felt like they would cruradually started to blur

He couldn´t do it anymore And when he was about to lose consciousness… it was at that moment

With the sound of the bushes , Rook came back to himself

The demon that had appeared froood physique Showing an unpleased face, he muttered back an “understood” in a small voice that didn´t match to his appearance

“…Follow me, spiritualist”

The deood physique turned his back to Rook and started to walk

Rook wondered whether he had told the deht back about the crest of the Barusak that was engraved at his sword They uessed he was a spiritualist from that

“Come quickly! If you don´t, I will beat you down!!”

“Ye-yes!!”

Rook hurriedly followed after hiled and almost fell down He didn´t knoas that about, but whatever it s had reached them Rook became a bit relieved

After a while walking, they entered inside the forest There were many tents settled there Apparently, here was a demon base

“Are you the spiritualist that said that wanted to talk with ozaru?”

Suddenly being talked to, Rook stopped his feet
