Retired Hero Wants To Sleep

Mission No.2 Seal Tower (18)

“Calm down, man!”

With that word from Shupea, the mana that had been coiling around Ebalt was instantly fixed.

Ewald raised his red eyes at the sudden cool feeling. But before that, Shuheim’s torso hit Shupea’s shield.

Dooong!

Light radiated from Shuheim’s torso, which was wrapped in the gathering mana. At the same time, a tremendous explosion spread out in all directions. Shupea bounced back in the same posture as when he was running toward Ewald.

Ewald was also swept away. Ewald, who had completely come off the ground, tumbled across the floor mercilessly. However, the protective film surrounding him absorbed the shock that was enough to crush Ebalt’s body, and then scattered into pieces of light and burst into pieces.

Ewald, who lost his shield, was swept away for a long time. A pain that scraped through his brain engulfed Ebalt.

But he can’t afford to lie down in pain. Ewald forcibly moved his weak leg. A creaking feeling roared from the joints of my body, but I would die if I just lay down here.

After releasing the protective shield covering himself and spreading a new protective shield over Ebalt, Supea collapsed on the ground like a doll whose thread had been cut. Fortunately or unfortunately, Elef was also lying down right next to Shupea.

Ewald staggered towards the two.

But a majestic sound emanated from above Ewald’s head. At the same time, heat filled Ewald’s surroundings. When Ebalt’s magic circle, which had been absorbing mana, disappeared, a vast amount of mana was pouring into Shuheim, which started operating normally.

Blue light gathered from Shuheim’s power generator, which was heading towards Shupea and Adele. But at that moment, Ewald covered the two with his whole body and created a magical shield.

“Skjöldur!”

A shock wave erupted from Schheim. The power generator, which was close to the ground, fired the main gun overturning the ground.

Quaang!

A blue orb ricocheted out of Schheim’s back.

It was Ewald.

Ewald, who was firmly holding Shu Pea in his left arm and Elif in his right arm, was engulfed in a magical shield and bounced back by Schheim’s momentum, but the shield, completed at the close timing, tightly wrapped the three of them.

If it had been hit directly, it would have disappeared without a trace, but the magic shield that hit the edge of the main gun at a dangerous angle crumbled without a trace.

He didn’t have time to summon his magic again. Ewald hugged the two people in his arms as tightly as he could, bounced off the floor several times, and crashed into the wall with tremendous force.

The nose of Schheim, which rose rapidly, was lifted almost vertically.

And the one remaining main gun of Schheim emitted light.

Kwajajajak!

The whole space collapsed. The energy released from the main gun erased everything in Schheim’s way. The melted wall flowed like magma.

Oh my god!

Usbel was at a loss for words at the power of Schheim’s main gun. With that power, it would be nothing to blow up a castle. Having created a hole in the tower with an unrealistic attack, Schheim quickly moved his nose.

It’s an intention to get out.

Schheim surged towards the passage that had been pierced by the main gun. Schheim, which caused a tremendous aftershock, soared through the passageway where the rocks melted and flowed red.

Quaang!

A gale came. Stones and debris the size of a man flew everywhere. Debris, the size of which only fragments would remain if a person was crushed, swept across the walls and floor, creating a roaring sound.

“V, viðvörun.”

At that moment, the magic word bursting out of Ebalt wrapped around several strands of mana and surged up, tangled in the back of Schheim, and disappeared soon after. The magic that surged up into the space Schheim escaped from came out of the aisle at great speed.

Ewald rose from among the rubble.

Raising his body with a terrifying look of blood dripping from his eyes, nose, and mouth, Ebalt roared like a thunderbolt.

“Usbel!”

“Yes, yes, master!”

“How many hours do you have left?”

“Ha, an hour and a half!”

Taking a deep breath, Ewald grabbed the two who were drooping.

“Take the kids!”

Ewald felt a sharp pain in his left ankle, but moved his body completely ignoring the pain. He felt a sharp pain coming from his ankle. Unknowingly, a moan escaped Ewald’s mouth.

But he had no time to delay. It took us two hours to come down, so we had to do anything right away. Ewald, who hurriedly moved his body, found someone lying in front of him.

He was a tall girl who fought with him.

However, the female prosecutor was lifting her upper body.

“… Driving me crazy.”

Staggering up, she stood in front of Balt, bleeding from her. Is she going to interfere until the end?

Ewald raised his arm with a disgusted expression.

But in front of Ewald, she turned her gaze away from Ewald and looked around her.

Realizing that Schheim wasn’t there, she nodded her head just once before collapsing on the spot like a rotten dead tree. With half of her face covered in spilled blood, she contorted her face in her excruciating pain.

Ewald lowered her raised arm.

There is no point in attacking an opponent who has no will to fight. Now we have to quickly drag the crew and run away from the tower.

Usbel and Adele came running to the fallen two. The two of them crossed the rubble and fragments piled up everywhere and grabbed Shupea and Elif and lifted them up. However, the two people who were completely drooped were completely stunned.

The sky turned yellow when I thought about climbing the tower with these people.

But Ewald walked over to the tall female swordsman, dragging her legs.

Usbel, who slung her elf over her shoulder, tilted her head at her Ebalt’s actions.

“Main… Sir?”

“Hey, lady.”

“My mission is over. I have nothing to do with you anymore.”

“What about this? Even without you, I am.”

Ewald began to grin.

“Wake up, man.”

“… Yes?”

“Can’t you hear me! Wake up!”

Ewald grabbed her arm as she sat down.

“Don’t collapse and make my dreams a mess, stand up right now!”

As she nervously lifted her up, Walt grabbed her by the collar. She let out a hoarse moan as the pain pierced her left shin. She couldn’t stand up properly and collapsed quickly.

But Ewald pushed her shoulders in front of her chest and lifted her up on her shoulders.

“… Let go.”

“Shut up, you will rot.”

Having lifted her into her stable position, Ewald turned her around with a limp. After struggling for a while, she was no longer strong and fell on Balt’s back.

Balt blew away her curse at her drooping, like her water-drenched cotton, which lifted her up.

She was filthy heavy.

Ewald looked back toward the entrance. Fortunately, the entrance was not blocked. Ewald turned his head and signaled to Usbel and Adele, and the three of them, one by one, began staggering.

“Move quickly!”

* * *

With the girl in her arms on her bed, her man put his hand on her bleeding head.

“… Rahaf.”

But she didn’t hear his voice, the girl was sound asleep with her tears on her face. The man, who was looking at the girl with a heavy heart, removed her hand from her head.

The cloth stained with red blood gave off a thick bloody smell.

Although it was only for a moment, the girl who revealed her dark eyes and yellow eyes was exhaling her breath as if she had never done that. After making sure that she was completely asleep, the man straightened the chair lying on her bedside.

The room had turned into a mess. But she silently tidied up her household, and the man sat down in her chair, looking at her girl with his deep eyes.

She is exhausted She had no idea how long this situation would last.

‘Where are you, Mr. Ebalt?’

The man clenched her fist.

“Trenrich-sama, would it be all right if I go in for a while?”

A thick male voice came from behind the door. The man quietly opened her mouth.

“Come to me when the day is bright. Now…”

“It’s about stuff, Mr. Trenrich.”

“… Come in.”

The door opened with a small sound. The shadow, cautiously entering her room, took her bow to her man and spoke quickly.

“I got it. It appears to be moving straight here.”

“… Good luck.”

“But there are some problems.”

“Problem?”

“Klóna’s life response is at its lowest.”

“Best?”

The shadow nodded her head.

“She appears to be on the verge of death, but seems to be carrying out her orders. When we arrive, we will have to investigate further.”

“I get it. Let me go away.”

“Then rest in peace.”

The shadow with a quiet bow quickly left the room. It was a very stealthy move, just like when they came in. But the man was already entangled in her thoughts.

‘The life reaction is the worst, did someone even attack Clona?’

The man stared at her girl, silently lost in her thoughts.

The problem escalates if, as she expected, someone attacked Klona.

But in front of her troubled man, the girl opened her eyes.

* * *

“hahahaha! And how many minutes do you have left?”

“Whoa, after! 20 minutes, 20 minutes!”

Usbel answered, catching her breath. Ewald’s expression distorted when he hadn’t even reached the 30th floor yet.

You have to go up 20 more floors to reach the ground level.

If this is the case, I will die.

But Ewald, unable to come up with a way to escape with all these people, sighed heavily and stopped.

But the idea didn’t come easily out of his messy head. The thought of wanting to collapse and rest at any moment occupied his head. But when he falls down to rest, he rests forever.

Ewald gnashed his teeth and turned to Usbel.

“Usbel, can you use magic?”

“A little bit will be possible. Any.”

To be sure, even with her own eyes, Usbel was utterly haggard. Ewald himself did the same.

Most of his magical energy accumulated while creating a crazy-sized magic circle had been exhausted, and Ebalt’s brain, which had been shaken by Mana’s runaway, was suffering from tremendous aftereffects.

But he couldn’t die like this. He shouldn’t die Ebalt began to forcefully turn his head, which was not working properly.

At that time, a moan escaped from Shupea’s mouth.

“… Haven’t we gotten out yet?”

“Are you okay, Supera?”

“… I’m dying, mister.”

When Shuheim ran away, Shupea, who was swept away by the aftermath, was covered in scars. With difficulty opening her swollen eyes, she let out a sigh and buried her head in Adele’s back.

In an instant, a solution flashed in Ewald’s mind.

“Adele, come here!”

Exhausted and out of breath, Adele approached Ewald without answering. Supea, who was on Adele’s back, frowned as if the pain was driving her with every move, but Ewald walked towards Adele and gestured to Usbel as well.

“You come too.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Usbel, on the verge of her exhaustion, stumbled and she came to Ewald’s side. Ewald, who quickly pulled her by the shoulder, hurriedly took her elf off Usbel’s back.

At the same time, Ewald, who had put down the tall female swordsman spread across his back, took over the Supera from Adele.

Ewald, who had received Shu Pea almost as if hugging her, ran her right hand through her hair and lightly patted Shu Pea on the cheek.

“… It hurts.”

“I know it’s hard, but let’s ask one more favor.”

“… I’m going to die, mister.”

“Twenty minutes left until the explosion. There are still more than 20 floors left. At the current rate, it will go up and die.”

“… Then it’s hopeless.”

“There is.”

Ewald stroked Speah’s hair with difficulty, fading her incongruous smile. His large, blood-curdled hand gently ran through her Shu Pea’s hair.

Balt’s soft voice pierced the ears of Shu Pea, who had almost seen her trance at the rough but warm feeling.

“You are my only hope.”
