The Hero Who Saved the World Was Reborn As A Beautiful Girl
Episode 12 The King of the Dead

—Circuit view

Thanks to the hard work of the shipwrecked corps, the number of monsters coming our way seems to be drastically reduced. There were over ten or twenty monsters with wounds all over their bodies. We buy time with their hard work, and although we are not perfect, we are able to prepare a certain amount of fighting power.

First, he used magic to raise the flat terrain, and began preparations to lure a large army of monsters into a narrow gap. And in front of the crack, the city soldiers lined up a number of barricades to create a wall, and it was supposed to act as a literal wall. The barricades were arranged in a zigzag pattern without hindering them completely, making them a pathway for monsters. This is a measure to extend the formation vertically while reducing the number. If you pass through a deliberately made path, you will be attacked from the left and right of the plateau, and the monsters will be reduced in number.

The monsters were captivated as expected. On the plateau, not only the city, but also the adventurers from the other guilds were ready to attack, waiting impatiently for the attack order. While feeling that they were reliable, I took out the sword hanging on my waist and swung it down excitedly.

"Start attacking!"

"Hi!"

"Let's do it!"

"Don't hit me!"

The ferocious adventurers started attacking the herd of monsters with their own attack methods. It was a beautiful spectacle, with many magic flying around, burning, exploding, freezing, piercing, and colorful magic flying around, but the destruction created from it was hell. There, they were chased with bows, stones, and spears, and even the crowd of monsters fell into chaos. Still, those who were pushed from behind had no choice but to move forward, overcome the corpses of their comrades and escape past the barricades. The soldiers waiting there stuck out their spears and mass-produced corpses one after another.

However, monsters were not only killed. Those who judged that the front was blocked went up to the hill where the adventurers camped and attacked, and there were even monsters that plucked out spears stuck in the corpses of their comrades and threw them back. As the auger kicked the spears of the soldiers with a single swipe of its huge stick, the goblins and kobolds broke through the empty hole and attacked the nearby warriors.

Has an hour passed? The battle was fierce. Thanks to the previous shift system, arrangements were made to evacuate the injured quickly, so there were no casualties, but it seemed like it was only a matter of time.

"If this continues ......"

The power to swing the sword gradually weakened. The adventurers around him were sweating and blood on their foreheads, and they did not stop fighting even though they were panting. Since you are already using your physical strength beyond limits, the current situation you are in is only at your will. The number of monsters should have been reduced by about half, but that was still only half. Moreover, the enemy boss was not injured. At this rate, the battle lines could collapse at once due to some sort of trigger - the moment I thought so, the worst premonition hit the target.

"Fellowship Teacher! It!"

As I turned my gaze towards the direction pointed by one of the adventurers, I felt like looking up at the sky and lamenting my bad luck. There was only one person with a different hair color behind the monster. The way miasma overflows that you can understand just by looking at it. The overwhelming pressure and presence that captured the hearts of those who saw it. A sinister skeletal figure and fingers were just bones wearing rings that emitted a mysterious light. And the cloak of darkness deeper than the darkness of the night without a doubt. That was-that was

"Raj..."

The figure of a ferocious monster known as the King of the Dead has appeared before our eyes.

“Contact the priests!

"accepted!"

The messenger adventurer whipped his wounded body and ran backwards. This time, when I found out that the leader of the enemy was an undead, I decided not to use the Priests of any church I worked with as a healer, he said, but to treat them as a trump card against the lich. Prioritizing the magic of the Gods as an attack on the allied recovery――This painful situation is also the result of surviving just to defeat the lich. In response to the lich approaching slowly, I realized that my body naturally took two steps and three steps back. The adventurers gritted their teeth and shook their bodies in fear. Even I, who have fought many powerful enemies, like this. It was only natural that the surrounding Iron-class adventurers would be like this. However, our job is to buy time until the priests have finished chanting the mantra. I have to stop this monster at any cost so that I can wait until the completion of the holy magic.

I clenched my back teeth and shouted loudly to encourage my allies.

"Don't be afraid! If we don't stand here, it'll all be over! Defeating monsters and bringing back materials was the task of an adventurer! Beat that skeleton and get rich quick! Show your stubbornness!"

"Ooh!"

"I'll take the ring!"

"An adventurer defeated a monster! You can't lose!"

The adventurers came back to life. Worried about the approaching lich like a turtle, the adventurers did their best to swing their swords, thrust their spears, and shoot arrows. He struggled hard with the momentum to push back the front that had been pushed. Alright, the next moment I thought I could do this, I saw the lich swinging her bony arm carelessly. Something that could only be described as a black shockwave rushed towards me. Without having a chance to raise their voices, the black shockwave pierced through the exact spot where many adventurers reflexively dodged.

Black waves fill the field of view. Although direct attacks are definitely avoided, the cold and nausea do not subside. My body showed a rejection response due to being exposed to a poison that was too thick. The fainted adventurer with a thud. I managed to hold it back by leaning on the sword stuck in the ground, but I had no confidence that I could withstand another attack like that. But without feeling, the lich raised his hand and would do the same attack again.

it's over now! As I was about to give up, a beam of light descended from the sky and dyed the area white. Enveloped in a warm and gentle light, vitality naturally shot out from the body. The wounds I had received until now had healed, and my physical strength had returned. It—holy magic. The sacred magic that many priests prayed to their respective gods was beyond the confines of the sect, warding off evil and healing allies. Thanks to our desperate attempts to buy time, the singing was finally over. If it was a powerful holy magic that would wipe out an ordinary undead just by touching it, then even a lich would not be able to escape just like that, waving his hand carelessly.

Sir! And, the light broke with a dry sound. The holy magic issued by the priests with absolute confidence, as if they were exterminating jumping insects, disappeared without damaging the lich.

“…………”

“…………”

No one has a word. The stubbornness and hope that had just grown made me realize that I was completely helpless against the overwhelming existence before me. I have no chance of winning. If you use a long time and a large number of personnel, you should be able to conquer the monster in front of you. However, the humans here—we adventurers and a group of soldiers will definitely be killed.

We are desperate and no longer have the will to fight back. Feeling like a trampled worm staring at the huge human foot on top of my head, I had no choice but to look at the strange appearance of the lich.

......It was a pretty interesting technique, but you can't stop me with just this.』

"Speaking!?"

The undead speak—I think they can only moan and not speak. Lich laughed as if making fun of us who were dumbfounded at an unthinkable situation with common sense.

As soon as he said that, Rich swung his hand down again. The exact same black waves as before attacked us, flying many more adventurers. I couldn't stand the pain and cold that was attacking my body. Voices of pain emerged from all over the place, but for some reason it seemed like no one had died strangely. It was inevitable that there would be no casualties as it had been exposed to so many consecutive attacks. The foundation on which we stand now has been destroyed.

"Kill you easily. Your pain and despair are my offerings. At best, it should sing in a beautiful tone. Enjoy a short time until death. That is what you will feel, it will be the last feeling of your life.

A black light that shone at the end of the arm that was ruthlessly lifted up. All I could do was look at him in fear.

⚔️

—Showing angle Lapis

"Lapis-chan, use healing magic!"

"I beg of you too! It's a serious wound!"

"understood!"

I continued to cast recovery magic on the injured brought one after another, but the numbers increased instead of decreasing. In the beginning there were only a few people, but now there were ten, twenty, and the number kept growing. In addition, the adventurers and soldiers who had just been treated would return with wounds in different parts, so the hot stones and water were good as well.

"My body! It hurts! Healing quickly!"

"Hurtful... shit! Why do I look like this..."

"My arm! I lost my arm! Find my arm!"

The temporary clinic was noisy like a battlefield. Everywhere there were cries of pain and help. I'm not the only one using recovery magic. Even though the pastors stationed here are also doing their best, there is still nothing we can do about that huge amount. Unfortunately, the recovery magic I can use is the contact type, and the effect will not be active unless I touch it directly, so it is not suitable for most treatments. Come to think of it, the monk that traveled with me used a wide variety of recovery magic with a calm face ... Jealous.

"How is the situation ..."

Since there are so many people injured, I think that monster should also be broken. But if you're just shutting yourself in here, you don't know what the front line will look like. I want to check the situation once — but I cannot leave the injured alone. Naturally, the frustration piling up with the number of injured people does not diminish as expected and the frustration of not being able to help those people.

I cannot judge whether this frustration is for the enemy or for myself. While taking care of the afflicted, I suddenly thought. If I had been there from the beginning, wouldn't so many people have suffered? Why would I allow people to suffer to maintain their simple lives? what the hell am I doing? What are you here for? Such thoughts kept circling in my head.

"It's serious! The lich! Lich has appeared!"

An adventurer who rushed to the clinic shouted with a terrified expression. Tension flows through the moment. The enemy boss has come out. If everything goes according to plan, the holy magic of the priests should soon endthe adventurer easily shatters everyone's hopes.

"The heavenly magic doesn't work on him! Instead, the stranded adventurers were bullied! They'll be coming to town soon! Everyone has to escape!"

"No way...!"

"You lied! Although there are so many pastors ..."

"Even if I run away, my body won't move, so where should I run..."

“Sial... If this is the case, I should just die..”.

The clinic is in chaos. A person who tries to escape by carrying a person who cannot move. A person who used a broken sword as a stick and tried to leave the city while dragging his feet. Those who decided to die and started preparing their weapons. Those who beg those who try to leave, to finish them off. Everyone was dyed in despair and had lost the will to live.

Almost, my teeth were clenched and clenched. The clenched hand pierced through the skin and blood flowed out. If I just sat around like this, these people would definitely die. Sure oes. Not knowing what to do, I instinctively made my gaze wander, and there was a familiar figure in front of me.

That's Abel. A boy who had just become an adventurer. A boy who has just come out of the countryside with a dream of becoming a first-class adventurer. He was lying on a stretcher covered in blood. I remember how happy you were when I completed your first request. I'm trying really hard. He used his sword on the front line, not me, and now he's dying.

Blood was pouring down on my head. What should I do who am I? Is that a hero? Is ignoring the call for help like the so-called hero does? No no. the hero is someone who has the courage to face any adversity, regardless of how strong or small it is. The adventurers, including Abel, fell there, and the soldiers were heroes. They are the ones who deserve to be called heroes, rather than me being so cowardly and cowardly.

......Well then at least, if it's fake, it's fake, so let's help them. I don't care if I lose my place. All I have to do is go back to the mountains, given the little time I spent here.

Fuu was a place, and what was piling up in my heart was exhaled along with the air. All right - my mind is round.

"I'll borrow it for a minute, Abel."

"Lapis-chan?"

Camille-san, who helped me with medical treatment, called out to me as I stood with Abel's sword in my hand.

"I'll be there for a second"

Smiling at him, I placed my hand on the hospital door with the sword in one hand. Kamille-san shouted something behind me, but by then, I had already jumped out with flying magic.
