Chapter 68
68 – Raising a Hero – 2
There was a reason why I wanted to make Brünnhild grow by going through such a self-made drama. Ultimately, the awakening of the warrior is essential for future developments.
Not just to make myself more comfortable, but also to deal with the black thing that has melted into the weapon, which has somehow been declared by the devil’s mouth to be similar to a holy sword.
The devil is no longer the enemy. Since Elisiere, like the other two, was revealed to be a possessed person suffering from an infinitely repeated regression, the real enemy should not be the Demon Lord.
‘The others will definitely die.’
For example, he is a person who cooperates with the corps commanders and bastards under him.
“Huh...... Huh....... Huh.......”
Like that fat high priest who is following behind. Even though it had only been 10 minutes since he came in, his actions and face made him look like he had been wandering around non-stop for about 12 hours.
“What about monsters?”@@@@
“I can’t see it yet. Let’s keep going.”
Brünnhild gestured as he pulled out the holy sword that had been inserted into the monster’s head.
The place we were was inside a release-type dungeon that had suddenly appeared. When the warrior who ‘coincidentally’ came here to buy dessert and I offered to help, the lord, the Viscount, agreed, thinking it was right.
Common sense would dictate that it would be better to contact the imperial palace, explain the situation, and ask for support rather than ask for help from an academy student, but Brünnhild was a warrior chosen by the Holy Sword.
I strongly recommended Brunhild, saying he might be stronger than him. Thanks to this, he was able to be supported as a core force without any hindrance.
It was in that context that the fat priest followed. There was no reason to refuse when the hero said that since there are an extremely large number of monsters in the discharge dungeon, a skilled priest must be present.
The fact that the Pope himself gave the star’s blessing also had a significant impact. The priests of the Starlight Church will not help the warrior who has been blessed by the stars? There was no such contradiction.
‘I had no idea it would turn out this well.’
If that guy had stayed in the temple and refused to come out, making all kinds of excuses, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to get him out.
He hated coming so much that he started talking nonsense right in front of us, saying that it would be enough if we just gave him a lot of advanced potions or added a bunch of nuns and priests to him. If I was inside the temple, I would never have come out.
‘How on earth do people like that demonstrate their divine power?’
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like there is any faith at all. Is the goddess completely indifferent to the human world? Anyway, these guys didn’t have anything good to say about them.
“Now, wait a minute...” ... ! Let’s take a break...... !”
The high-ranking priest, whose breathing had been getting heavier from earlier, finally fell to the floor. At this point, I thought I would slowly reach my limit.
“It’s only been 10 minutes, already? And, we did all the fighting, so why does the one who didn’t do anything get tired first?”
“Aren’t you guys walking too fast...?” ... !”
“Have you ever thought that it was slow?”
Brünnhild must have felt the same way as me, sighing and stopping.
“Okay. “Let’s take a break.”
“Kuheook...... !”
The priest completely sat down on the spot, letting out a strange breath, and the nuns on both sides were busy giving him water or wiping his sweat with their sleeves. I took advantage of that opportunity to quietly whisper.
“I’m protecting that guy well. I’ll look around first to see if there are any traps. “That pig looked like it couldn’t avoid a rock rolling in from a hundred meters away.”
Brünnhild smiled slightly and nodded at my joke. I walked to a distance where I couldn’t hear anyone’s voice, used soundproofing magic to prepare for any unexpected situation, and took out the necklace.
“Is everything going well?”
As soon as I put on the necklace, I heard Elisier’s voice as if I had been waiting for it. Because of this, I was waiting for that thing to spread.
If I had come alone with Brünnhild or with another priest who was more energetic than him, I wouldn’t have been able to do something like this.
“That’s right. “Elisier, what about you?”
“I have also completed all preparations. Can we just deploy the monsters right before destroying the dungeon core as planned?”
“... ....”
Next to me, Brunhild was struggling to hold back laughter. It was a look that contrasted with the blushing priest.
If he had gone with Aria instead of me, the reaction would have been different. Rosaria and Priscilla said together that he was so kind that he was so frustrated that he almost exploded to death, so he must have tried to put up with it even in this situation.
But I am far from that type of person. I wouldn’t know if it was in the past, but not now that I’ve realized that there’s no coming back even if I endure it for over 10 years.
“Can I take care of it?”
Brünnhild came up next to me and asked a question in a low voice.
“I don’t do anything I can’t handle. “Except when someone other than me comes in.”
“That’s good.”
Brünnhild smiled, wondering what was so good about it.
How long did it take for us to arrive at the deepest dungeon core? Not the imitation we saw at the academy, but a real core with a bunch of magic energy.
“What, why is there nothing?”
“I guess I’m just letting it all out and recharging. That’s good, let’s take care of this quickly and get out.”
Of course it was because it was designed that way, but I pretended not to know. Brunhild nodded at my words and was about to approach and swing the holy sword.
ᅳKooooo!
An unusual roar began to shake the dungeon. Brünnhild broke his core with a stiff expression on his face and came close next to me.
“Did you just hear a sound?”
“I heard. “I think there’s one guy who’s no joke.”

The high priest looked very frightened and stood apart from the nuns, but he had no intention of running away, perhaps because of what we had shown him so far. They seemed to believe that next to us would be the safest.
ᅳKooooo!!!!!!
Once again, a roar that shook the entire dungeon rang out, and an enormous silhouette appeared in the distance. The orange light came closer and closer.
Soon Flame Bear appeared. The fur that covered its entire body was orange, and it shimmered and shimmered due to the enormous heat burning from its skin.
Everywhere it steps, it leaves footprints made of orange flames.
“...... Flame Bear? “It must be a bit tough to fight while protecting this, right?”
Brünnhild’s murmur was heard from next to him.
Flame Bear. This is a monster that was introduced in a theory lecture. Perhaps because of the proverb that bears tear people to pieces, they were equal to or even stronger than ogres.
“Back, back! Even in the back!”
“...... Back?”
Brünnhild turned his head at the priest’s almost convulsive warning and let out a laugh. This was because an Ice Bear, known as a subspecies of Flame Bear, was approaching from the passage we had come from.
His fur was light blue, and a white mist rose from near his skin. While the floor nearby was covered in frost, white breath was leaking out from between its snouts.
As a subspecies of Flame Bear, Ice Bear also possessed tremendous fighting power. This was even more so in a situation where they were working together with Flame Bear like now.
“What should I do, Mira?”
“What should I do? Just take them one by one and kill them. “There’s a priest behind you anyway, right?”
“...... Mira, I think you’re like a golem when you fight. “How are you never surprised?”
Brünnhild grunted softly. I just laughed to myself.
If it’s a surprise, I can’t say yes because I’ve experienced it countless times in the past. This is a situation where I planned it all, so it’s natural.
ᅳ!!!!!!
Flame Bear, as its name suggests, spewed out flames from its snout and rushed at him.
