The Small Sage Will Try Her Best In The Different World From Lv.1! Chapter 19: The Beginning of The Monster Flood

Chapter 19: The Beginning of The Monster Flood

There was only one week from the appearance of the goblin herd to the full-scale Monster Flood.

It was the common knowledge up until now.

However…

This is Yuuri who has lived in the different world for three days.

For so reason, I am departing to subjugate monsters right now.

In the end, we checked the effective range of hurling the heal the whole day yesterday. It took a considerable amount of physical strength in order to keep company with Frank-san who was very thirsty for knowledge.

As expected, I was so exhausted that I slept like a log.

Once I woke up, the fortress was in an uproar just like a poked beehive.

W…what? What’s going on?

“Yuuri-chan, you’ve woken up?”

Amanda-san seed to have waken up prior to and was long gone, so I was flustered for not knowing what was going on. A while later, Amanda-san returned and told about how the [Monster Flood] had occurred.

Eh…but the Monster Flood was supposed to occur a bit later, why?

When I asked that, Amanda-san also seed to not know the reason.

“Anyway, I want to ask for your help in reinforcent magic, so can you co with , Yuuri-chan?”

“Y…yes.”

To think that we’d be going to the Demon Forest this quickly…

Even though I haven’t really prepared for it…

But didn’t I already decide it yesterday?

Rather than sitting around while seeing others get hurt, I’d do the things that only I can do, to be any of help!

As I followed Amanda-san who was doing the preparation in her flustered state, I saw that the plaza I used yesterday to check on my magic was buried with people in armors. There were also horses lined up at the wall’s side.

When I observed it, the female knights made up one third of the people, and they were wearing sothing like light armors—unlike the males who were wearing sothing more solid—which covered their torso. Ah, now I realized that Amanda-san was also wearing the sa thing.

For so reason, I was only wearing a pink-colored one piece, and it seed way out-of-place…

Uuu…As expected, I attracted too many attention.

I was introduced as the knight apprentice who ca from another country to everyone in the fort by Leon-san yesterday during dinner, but at one glance, I felt like I was out of place.

“Yuuri-chan, here, co.”

Amidst the armored people, I found the brown-haired Argo-san. As he beckoned , I went to his side.

“Argo-san, I heard that the Monster Flood occurred…”

“Yeah. The nearby village seed to be attacked by the monsters early this morning. The survivors went to the fort, looking for help.”

“The village was attacked?!”

“Right. It seed to be a herd of werewolves.”

Werewolves were wolf monsters that I often saw in Elysia Online. They attacked people with their sharp claws and fangs. Although they weren’t really strong, they were threats to the villagers who didn’t have any way to fight, or so I think.

Besides, a herd of them ant that there were several number of werewolves attacking at the sa ti…

“W…what about the other villagers…?”

“We don’t know. We will be going to that village in order to hunt the werewolves now. Hopefully there will be more survivors there.”

“…Yes…”

I hope there will really be survivors there…

This is the reality. Here is the real world.

Although I’m scared, I can’t run away.

“So, I’d like Yuuri-chan to form a party with , Amanda, and Leader. After putting the area reinforcent magic to everyone from the fort, Amanda and I will protect Yuuri-chan, so I want you to recover just Leader alone.”

“I don’t quite get it, but if you think it’s better that way, then I will do so.”

“Un. Thanks. Sorry for having to bring you along to the battle with the monsters, even when you are this small. Moreover, we don’t have equipnt for kids, so this lightweight equipnt (TL: can also an dress)…but we will definitely protect Yuuri-chan.”

“I was told that Amanda-san put a defensive magic on this dress. Moreover, I can heal myself so it’s okay.”

I think that I won’t get an instant death despite being level 1 if I put the Protect Shield. If my remaining HP is 1, I should be able to manage it by healing myself repeatedly.

Un. It should be fine. I will try my best.

At that ti, Leon-san arrived at the plaza while riding on a horse.

His golden hair fluttering, Leon-san’s erald pupils slowly scanned the surrounding.

I know that this is not the ti to think about sothing like this, but Leon-san’s figure combined with his silver armor was just like a prince in the fairy tales.

Uwaaaaa. A real prince! How fantastic!

“We are the brave knights of the Ares kingdom. We are humble yet sincere brethrens. Finally, the Monster Flood began. From here on, we, the Izel fort’s knights, will be united and beco the shield to protect the people from the monsters’ invasion. We will beco the swords to defeat the monsters who harm the people. Now, let’s go to the Dusk Village!”

“Oooooooooo!”

As the knights howled, the road in front of Leon-san was opened. As Leon-san passed through that opened road, the knights ran towards the horses on the side of the wall and mounted them.

I also rode on the sa horse as Argo-san.

Ah, should I form a party with Argo-san while we’re at it?

“Argo-san, Argo-san. Let’s form a party now. Please.”

“Yeah. Please take care of .”

As I grabbed Argo-san’s hand that was grasping the reins, a party window appeared.

Yosh, we did it.

“Yuuri-chan, you might bite your own tongue, so just stay like this and don’t speak.”

While we were in the middle of the journey towards the Dusk Village where monsters attacked, Argo-san began to talk.

“The Monster Flood doesn’t just an that the monsters will increase randomly. After the monsters increase, a monster king will be born from the Demon Forest.”

Monster king…?

“They can be Goblin King or Orc King, it varies per ti. The last Monster Flood happened around 8 years ago. The monster king at that ti was Undead King.”

Undead King…If I’m not mistaken, the last boss in the dungeon that existed in the Demon Empire had such a na. Since it was originally dead, it could be resurrected many tis, and each ti it was resurrected, it would be powered up. As it was such a botherso enemy, defeating it would be difficult. Since it was an Undead, it should be weak against fire magic.

“The Undead King was so strong that it was also called as the Immortal King, and even when the warriors from 6 countries of Elysia were collaborating, it couldn’t be defeated. But at that ti, a hero appeared.”

Hero, huh? That’s cool.

“The 16-year-old boy combined his swordsmanship and magic to face against the Undead King. Then, at the end of the deadly struggle, the Undead King was defeated, and it brought an end to the Monster Flood. That hero’s na was Leonhart.”

Hee. Being the hero, his na was also cool.

“You still don’t get it?”

Hwe? What?

“That hero is none other than our leader.”

Eeeeeee, is that so—?!

Leon-san is the heroooo?

Eh, what? 8 years ago, he was 16 years old? Which ans, he is now 24 years old?

Eeeeeeeeeeh?!

I thought that he was older than thaaaat.

I wonder why is it that I was more shocked that he was 24 years old rather than the fact that Leon-san was the hero? Age…ah, no, he looked quite calm…so I thought that his age was closer to 30.

“That’s why, you can be relieved as long as Leader is here, Yuuri-chan. I dare say that he’s the strongest person in this Elysia.”

Aah, so Argo-san told about this so that I wasn’t anxious anymore.

Thank you for the consideration, Argo-san.

“Now, we will arrive at the Dusk Village soon. While the scouts were working in the foreground, can you form a party with the other people at that ti?”

I nodded deeply as a response.

We stepped down from the horse at a slightly distant place from the Dusk Village. I ford a party with Leon-san and Amanda-san there.

Then, I put the Area Protect Shield to everyone.

“Area Protect Shield, target: everyone from the Izel fort!”

As I chanted, small red shields appeared and revolved around everyone. The knights made a light uproar, but they went quiet after Leon-san gave them the order to.

“This is the magic to enhance your body from the foreign country. The effect lasts for 30 minutes. The effect can be piled up with Protect magic’s effect, so those who can use it should use it on themselves.”

Since the enemies this ti were werewolves, there was no need to put on magic defense, so I only put the physical defense magic. The MP consumption was 50, so the remaining MP was 75, so there was quite a surplus for healing. In addition, there are MP Potions in my cat-faced bag!

Un. When I think more about the last ti with the goblins, the magic defense was unneeded. It was so embarrassing to lose my composure when I put on the defense magic, then as a result I used up all my magical power…

“Leader, it seems that the werewolves are still in the village. We couldn’t check on the survivers from outside.”

“I see…Hopefully there are survivors…Yosh, let’s go! Follow behind !”

After hearing the scouts’ report, Leon-san galloped his horse towards the Dusk Village. The knights were following him from behind, while Argo and I were almost at the end of the line.

“As for heal, hurl the recovery from the surroundings at the last mont.”1

“Y…yes.”

Finally, we are going to confront the monsters…

It’s scary…but I will also fight in order to protect the people precious to !

All the knights of Izel fort descended from their horses and entered the village.

I waited at the entrance in order to chant heal. Although I might say that, casting Healing Light took around 1 second while Heal took around 3 seconds, so I could do the recovery quickly, and there was actually no need to be on standby like this.

“O power of Water that dwelleth in , I beseech thee. From my sword, burst forth, Water!”

“O power of Flas that dwelleth in , I beseech thee. From my sword, burst forth, Flas!”

Everyone who entered the village put on attributes on their swords. Argo-san and Amanda-san also put the water elent and fire elent respectively.

While Leon-san who was slightly in front…that should be thunder magic, I guess. For so reason, light appeared from his sword.

Then, beyond him, there was a herd of grey-furred werewolves.

Leon-san swung a slash towards the herd of werewolves using his sparkling sword.

With a woosh, the werewolves’ heads fell. The other knights also slashed in succession, and the air was filled with the sll of blood.

The werewolves naturally attacked back, but their claws and fangs weren’t effective against their magic swords, and so they were rapidly defeated.

The knights’ swords that were clad in flas, water, and thunder waved in succession.

White and red locus danced about in the air.

And the deep crimson that surged in between.

Leon-san’s movents were really one in a thousand, and he was so strong that he didn’t even need any healing. He slaughtered the herd of werewolves that were attacking with a single stroke of his sparkling sword.

There were also werewolves that ca my way, but Argo-san and Amanda-san defeated them.

There were sounds of heavy objects falling.

The red blood was seeping from below the fallen werewolves. The blood was imdiately absorbed by the ground.

“Let’s search for the surviving villagers! Argo, Amanda, and Yuuri should wait over there. As for the others, let’s go deeper into the village. Let’s go to search for the survivors while staying alert for the hiding werewolves!”

Along with Leon-san’s order, all the knights went deep into the village.
