Volume 4, Chapter 3 - Trying Out Going to a New Town – Part 5
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
He would kick about another approximately twenty Holy Knight Unit members. He had predicted that sort of course of events but……
──What the heck is going on?
The people of the town created a wall in front of Diablo’s group. They were the group that had prayed together with Lumachina just a little while ago.
The wall of people stood in front of the Holy Knight Unit’s way.
All of them had faces full of determination.
「The Holy Knight Unit should get out of here!」「That’s right, that’s right!」「We won’t let you meddle with these people!」
Diablo was amazed.
So this was the influence of the High Chief Priest!
To think that she could make the surrounding common people into her own personal followers with just a single prayer.
They didn’t know about Lumachina’s status. They simply felt adoration by her actions, and now they had become a shield in order to protect her from the ruffian Holy Knight Unit.
Even though they didn’t even carry any weapons.
──So they would even risk their lives for people that they had just met. This in itself is a cheat power. If this was material for the founding of a nation, wouldn’t this be too easy and not make it much of a story? Well, it’s no wonder that she has enough authority as the king.
This was a great difference from Diablo who couldn’t even make one friend, let alone a party, no matter how much he raised his military gains.
If they were to withdraw from repeatedly being told 「Get out!」 by the common people, the Holy Knight Unit wouldn’t have been appraised as “bandit-like”.
A huge guy that had a wide girth even among those guys came forward. He was a Pantherian, but he looked more like a bear than a panther.
「Gufufu……Well ain’t this funny……I don’t know what happened but……I’ll make y’all remember the Church’s authority!」
He carried a spear that was longer than his stature.
It was a jousting lance.
It was a spear that was originally meant to be used while straddling a horse, and not something to be handled on foot. He wielded it like it was a club.
He couldn’t tell without seeing him fight first but……It didn’t seem he was an opponent that he could hold back against.
There wasn’t anyone that had the appearance of a Holy Knight. So this meant that the Head of the Holy Knights didn’t come.
──Now then, what should I do?
The ordinary people had created a wall between Diablo’s group and the Holy Knight Unit.
He was happy about their strong spirit to become their shield, but they would get dragged into his magic like this.
──It’ll take a bit of time but, should I use 《Volcanic Wall》? A wall of flames would be created between the ordinary people and the Holy Knight Unit with that.
And on top of that, should he use 《Burst Rain》 only on the enemy’s side?
Would that kill them if it’s a direct hit?
From the enemy’s HP and POW (Magic Defense Power) that he could guess, he calculated the damage.
The alarm bell was struck.
Both the Holy Knight Unit members that glared at them and the ordinary people became noisy.
──Did something happen!?
Somebody shouted.
「It’s a Demonic Beast! An extra-large……Demonic Beast!! It’s a 《Sand Whale》!!」
Those were words equivalent to announcing a great disaster.
