Living as an Unemployed in Another World

119 – 4. Silences in Helms (35)

35.

Baolof’s transformed appearance was truly apt for the word devil.

A huge body of bronze, almost 3 meters tall, with short, thick limbs, a spine that sticks out, melted continuously like slime, and dozens of stinking mouths with teeth bared all over the body. There is. He was blind and did not exist, and what was there was also a huge mouth.

【──Ah.】

A hideous figure with no human remnants remaining. Carl, who was confronting him, opened the distance in an instant.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!!”

He gave instructions right away, but not many people took up arms immediately after hearing those words. Some of them collapsed on the spot or walked backwards as if their bodies froze in fear. Understanding goes. Even the priests who worked in the cathedral were mostly just healing the injured, and they would have little experience actually facing demons.

The same goes for articles. He is always trained and mobilized to subdue demons and undead, but like a cathedral knight, less than one in 10 of them survive facing real demons on the front line. And Baolof’s presence was clearly not that of a low-level demon.

I experienced it at the mansion, but because my body’s power is too weak, my ability to grasp the opponent’s strength, which only strong people feel, is inferior. A huge presence that even I could feel. Perhaps the fear others feel is far greater than mine.

“You idiots…… Order! Get in line! The priests are all covering from the rear!”

He shouted once more, and the crowd swayed. Is the Heretic Questioner not afraid of even the devil? No, it can’t be. If I felt this intensely, I couldn’t even imagine the pressure he would feel at the forefront. However, he is still standing there with his teeth gritting. …… Religion, after all, doesn’t suit me.

【The goddess answered my call──】

“Everyone, cover your ears!! His words have a deceptive effect!!”

[You foolish ones who pray to the silent god and seek salvation, the great dream goddess will give you a reasonable price.]

Baolof, no, the demon that was Baolof spoke dozens of mouths and spread an unpleasant voice throughout the chapel, and shortly thereafter, several of the knights in line dropped their weapons and knelt on the floor. Is it possible that only the spirit of the word has such an effect on those who worship other gods? How much power do you mean?

Karl hurriedly shouted, but it was already one step too late. Half of the knights in the battle line collapsed on their own, but soon picked up their weapons again and started to oppose their fellows according to the devil’s will.

【If you want salvation, it’s not too late. Accept it——destroy the heresy]

Soon, the sound of weapons clashing against each other resonated everywhere. When the same side started to fight, the priests behind were confused, but those who figured out the situation belatedly started to spread the barrier.

“Poem, Shield of Face (Shield of Faith)!”

“Resist!”

“Fu, protection!”

“Silence!”

Orders spread through Junggu Heating. I’m not so quick about divine spells and miracles, but I know that if each person casts a spell like that, they won’t overlap and will only interfere with each other’s spells. At that moment, Grace grabbed my hand and struggled to stand up, shouting in a loud voice.

“Use Sanctuary (s*xualization)!! The effect of the spell must be amplified!!”

She saw through the essence of demons at once and directed them. Indeed, her experience of fighting demons on the front line was shining. She had just recovered from her broken and penetrating wounds, and she was ready to take the plunge. I grabbed her shoulder with all my might.

“Jin? Drop this! I just have to…… !”

“Calm down. Now is the time to focus on recovery.”

“What…… ?”

I looked toward the entrance of the chapel, unable to hide my nervousness. It’s time to come, I don’t know how long it will take to negotiate the number of people, but at least some parties have decided to come. Now I just had to drag the time.

As the effect of the spell amplified by sanctification deflected the devil’s command, he spat out the words with his face that was only his mouth.

【You’re desperate. It is a meaningless resistance]

“You have to try to know if it’s meaningless. Conversely, no matter how demonic you become, do you think you can handle all the people here?”

【Ask in reverse. Why do you think they are all against me?]

“What?”

In an instant, the huge body bent once. Then, as if regurgitating vomit, he began to vomit sticky things out of his mouth. Then the demons shrunk a little, and from them began to grow something human-sized, human-like, without eyes, nose or ears.

“Oh my gosh——.”

Some of them pounced on the swords, while others rushed to the knights who grabbed their fellow swords, clung to them, and then stuck to other places again and again. Then the knights’ swords slowly slowed down, and eventually they stopped sword-to-sword and began to oppose the priests who were protecting them!

【I would have said it was a meaningless resistance, but with time, everyone in this space would be under my command.】

“Cheer!!”

Karl tried hard to resist by grabbing the heads of the demons that attacked him and crushing them on the floor or trampling them with his feet, but he couldn’t overcome the amount and groaned as he was bitten by their teeth.

【──Don’t worry. Faust, you and everyone else will forget everything. After this night, everything will be nothing

“Damn it… ….”

Grace gritted her teeth. It would be impossible to deal with that devil if she went to the front immediately in her physical condition.

Meanwhile, a roar echoed in the surroundings, still mixed with the noise. Although Mira struggles hard to keep her distance, her spear-bearing knight believes in her thick armor and still rages, and a knight with strength equal to Alphonse uses her sword skills that he does not have, her green skin. Continued upward, leaving a sword scar.

Now? No, what can I do in this chaos? In order to subdue all this chaos, you have to look for an opportunity for that demon to become defenseless, but only Grace can break through that path. No, she’ll fall short of even her.

I need a hand. It also requires extremely strong hands, a lot.

And. The moment when the barriers maintained by the priests were gradually shattered one by one by the knights’ attacks.

“Wall of Protection【I will protect you】.”

From the center of the rift, stronger walls than before spread out in all directions, blocking the knights’ attacks. Such a powerful protection-type spell would be difficult even for high-ranking priests. I looked back. A sorceress with a wand was walking through a crack in the crowd. It’s Janice! That means…….

“Haap.”

Dooong!! In an instant, a demon that had been running on the knights’ backs and eroding their spirits scattered their teeth and fell far away. Boasting the strength of mind and body that is not dazzled, Mr. Sukhbat was approaching the front before he knew it.

Shortly thereafter, blood gushed from the ankles of the knights who rushed after gathering their own personnel to break through Zenith’s barrier. The wounds through the gaps in the armor robbed them of their balance and made them collapse, so it must have been Hilda’s skill.

Finally. The devil’s demons reaching out to the priests.

“Sun——Blast!!”

I had no choice but to be pushed back by the flashing sunlight along with a man’s stupid technical name. I have two new bottles. I watched the war situation slowly change. Those running through the smashed chapel entrance.

The Dwarf warrior, Furnias, is the leader of the Party.

Led by Dragonborn Sagrat.

The female ranger adventurers led by the high elf Cynthia Elledir Greywood.

Aside from that, the rugged adventurers, who all look like one, enter one after another. All red adventurers representing the royal capital. Aside from those who knew the names, additional adventurers who had seen their faces at the banquet hall appeared. After a lengthy discussion, it seems that they finally decided to participate. At first glance, it looks like there are more than 20 people.

They immediately joined the battle without any declaration. And, when the adventurers came out, a brilliant blonde woman who showed up belatedly.

“Am I too late?”

“Yes. Really.”

“Okay…… I understand. A total of 23 people, about a third of the guild’s strength, were brought.”

Did you persuade a third of the people gathered at the banquet hall to bring them? Indeed, it is more power than expected. At this level, it would not be unreasonable to change the battle situation.

“What about the negotiations?”

“Can you suggest anything else? Money what At least starting with gold coins.”

She put her hand on her waist and sighed.

“Of course I can’t pay a dime. I plan to charge everything to the cathedral.”

“No way.”

“By the way… ….”

She glanced at Grace, who I was supporting, and looked slightly embarrassed toward the edge of her chapel as she bowed her head to herself and said,

“Is that Cardinal Baolof?”

“I’m sorry, but it is. Lady Gong.”

She trembled as she wrapped her arms around me just to face him. I kind of feel the same way. Of these, I can count on one hand the weakest one alone.

But the difference between her and me is that she has to be a witness to this fight to the end, and I have to finish this fight last.

“Grace. I have a favor.”

Leaving her behind, I walked deep into the battlefield where adventurers rampage. As I was walking, I bumped into someone before I knew it.

We naturally stood side by side shoulder to shoulder.

I borrowed the staff from Janice.

Gerald has a bastard sword named ‘Sunsword’.

Both of them, looking squarely at the demon whose name was Baolof.

“With this, I paid off my debt when I was a Mimic!”

“I got it.”

“And…… Like that time, is there a way? I will take that bastard down.”

I was silent at Gerald’s question. He looked at me like he couldn’t believe it, so I reluctantly confessed.

“Yes, there is. However… ….”

Gerald listened to my story and looked at me like a madman. What can I do when I can only think of this. Since he seemed hesitant, I had no choice but to bring out my trump card.

“Gerald, what did you say to me before? Didn’t the artifact say something?”

“What? No wait, you can’t.”

I’ll make your wish come true.

This time, I will become the ‘Artifact Holder’ Gerald.
