Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

"Vicar! Are you listening... Stand up and fight or you will die." I said that but it seems that he wouldn't move. 

Vicar doesn't have any strength left to even stand up, the skeletons were approaching him and about to finish him off. I kept shouting to him to move or just dodge the attack but it seems that he doesn't have the stamina left to even move a little. 

Suddenly, shots are fired from a building across the street. I hear more shots being fired from the building across the street, and some from other directions. Arrows suddenly falling down near us and almost hit Vicar as well, all of the skeletons near Vicar were dead because of the arrow. 

Who were the people that shot the arrows, I doubt that it would be the town guards as they were all in the town gate fighting the undead there and not in the trade central area. With that amount of arrows that have been shot, I believe that it was from the town guards that have joined the battle at the town gate. 

I don't know what had happened but I really glad that happen as it was able to save Vicar from dead. I then hear a loud sound coming from behind us, I didn't have any slight idea who was making that sound. The sound was getting louder every second and it's like the sound was coming toward us. 

"Vicar... Escape from here! The undead seems to not paying attention to us suddenly." I said that to Vicar as the undead didn't even try to attack us right now. 

He still doesn't have enough strength to move, he didn't even try to stand up as he just froze there. The sound was getting louder as it was getting closer to us. But the more I listen to it, it somehow resembles a human shout. 

I could also hear the sound of the skull of the skeleton being shattered as it were so loud. Some of the skeletons fall to the ground and I finally know what had happened when I saw him coming out from the crowd of the undead. The people that we waited for and didn��t expect the most have arrived to help us in this fight. 

It was the people from the adventurers guild and the one who I seem to be leading this fight was not the guild master of the guild but rather the town lord itself. I didn't think that Lord Framer would join the battle himself and to be this powerful as he just took down five elite skeletons by himself. 

Who was Lord Framer and why he was this powerful? I guess I was really influenced by the anime as all of the shows that I watched, not that many town lords show their power or rather fight in the front line with us. Lord Framer then realized that Vicar was there and quickly lift him up. 

Lord Framer was fighting the undead with his battleax, he wields it with both of his hand but I could see that he could also wield it with only one hand when he tried to lift Vicar up from the ground. 

"You have done a good job on hanging this long." Lord Framer said as he told other adventurers to carry Vicar to the infirmary. 

Before I leave the place for some time, I must look at Lord Framer as I was really curious about his stats.

Lord Framer stats disappear as I was too far from him, I didn't have time to remember the stats perfectly but from what I could recall from those tiny memories of it. Lord Framer stats does equal Sir Esmir stats, it still left me to wonder why he decided to join the battle. 

The adventurers stopped when we were far from the undead, they didn't take Vicar to the infirmary as Lord Framer told them to do so. They just put Vicar on the ground and went back to the place where it full of undead. 

"Just leave him here, they're no use for us to bring him to the infirmary." One of the adventurers said that. 

"Didn't Lord Framer order us to bring him there, what would happen if we disobey his order..." He said as he was afraid of the consequences.

"Lord Framer is the nicest lord, he wouldn't punish us." He tried to convince his friend. 

"I still think that we should...." He was interrupted by the other adventurer before he could say another word. 

"If you tell him that is, Lord Framer would never know if didn't tell him. We just need to deceive Lord Framer that we already sent this guy to the infirmary. Besides, do you really wanna miss the chance to make some easy gold." He said that.

"I'm not sure, it is wrong for not the following order." He replies back.

"Oh, God! Just listen to me will you, look at this person..." The other guy looks at the Vicar and seems to realized something. 

"Okay! Okay... I will follow your idea but remember this all was on you." With that, both of them leave the area to join in the battle again. 

I was really surprised by their action and was kinda mad at them but I think I would let this slide as Vicar doesn't have any injuries, he just needs to regain his stamina back. After that, he would be joining the battle again and it would be a lot easier. 

While we have the time right now, might be good for me to have a little conversation with Vicar while he regains his strength back. 

"Hey, Vicar? Do you think that Tane is fine right now..." I suddenly remember about Tane and make that the topic for us to talk.

Vicar didn't reply, he just leans on the wall silently. At first, I thought he was too tired that he didn't decide to talk with me. I waited for a few minutes before I reengage back into the topic that I wanted to ask him but he still didn't answer. 

"Are you pretending to not able to hear me? I know that you tired but could you at least speak to me." I said that before I realize something. 

Vicar's eye didn't even blink and been open for a very long time, he also didn't move at all from the spot. I really don't want to assume the worse right now as I still believe that he was still alive. I tried to say something to him.

"You just joking with me right? You hear me right? Please reply..." Still, Vicar didn't even reply to it. 

My mind started to think that Vicar was dead, I tried to recall back my memories in the battle. I did remember that the undead doesn't have the chance to hit Vicar. There no way that my memories about it were wrong, I was there and I know what had happened. 

"Vicar! You believe that you would survive right?..." I remember those words from Vicar and said it out loud for him to hear. 

I then remember something that I could do to check whether Vicar was already died or just too exhausted to talk with me right now. But the moment I check his HP, I know that he still...

[VICAR] Level 11

HP: 133/800

MP: 0/150

Vicar HP didn't even reach zero but I don't know why he wouldn't talk back to me right at this moment. After checking the hp and know that Vicar didn't die yet. I tried to talk with him again and threaten him with something that might able to make him talk. 

It was really effective as he started to talk back to me, "Sorry for that ring, it's just I trying to see whether you worried about me or not." Vicar said that to me. 

Hearing that makes me a bit angry as this was not really something that he should do to me because at a moment I believe he had died. "Just reply to me! You know that I'm worried about you... You are my friend." I said that to Vicar as he was my friend. 

"Again, I apologize... I didn't mean to do it but I just too exhausted to talk at that moment." Vicar reply to me and trying to make an excuse for not replying to me at that time. 

"Okay, I forgive you but just nod or move a bit so I know that you still alive..." I said that as I didn't want to argue with Vicar now. 

"I understand... so while we on it, I will say my thought about what you ask me earlier." He said that. 

"You thought about what?" I ask him as I forgot what the thing that I had said a few minutes ago. 

"About Tane! How could you forgot about that..." Vicar said.
