Chapter 224: Carried Back

<hr>

Sylvie and I left the protection of the Wall and looked out at the battle that had long since reached its cli as the ones up on the Wall, were positioned on the ground, closer toward the bloodshed

I looked back oncebehind us in both rage and regret

‘We’ll find out as responsible for this later,’ ht now, it’s our duty to find your fa her a nod, the two of us walked forward I tuned out the shouts and cheers of the soldiers around us

I wasn’t a hero, nor did I wish to be It was impossible to be everyone’s hero It’s inevitable that I’d let some people down—hell, I’ve already let a lot of people down

Not every human, elf, and dere equally io I was here to serve my role to help end this war It wasn’t for world peace or to save mankind—it was to lead a comfortable and happy life with the people I loved and cared for

Walking through the lines of bow at the backline of the beast horde or resting and replenishi+ng their ed their colleagues nearby for their attention as hundreds of gazes turned towards us

“You should at least acknowledge the the stares

“Focus, Sylvie,” I admonished “Let’s do e came here to do first We can worry about troop rounds of the Beast Glades felt like wet tar, gripping and pulling back ed forithfeeling that ht and the crowd of beasts and rewDawn’s Ballad, Sylvie and I dove into the thick of the battle underneath the shower of spells and arrows My bright teal sword beca theth needed to unleash one more strike

Sylvie kept her distance away fro precise bullets of uarded soldier

Of course, neither of us were si As I sliced apart santuan beasts without discrins of any large-bodied earth conjurer that resembled Durden or braith a fire-affinity that looked anything remotely likelade, I saw the silhouette of aover the rest of the beasts around it with soldiers in its maw Occasionally, blasts of fire tore out of its tip, eliciting faint screams from the soldiers before more were consu ain to spot h the dirt, saps of the chaotic battlefield

It was then that I caught sight of another group of soldiers trying to bring down a giant rizzly

By its twelve-foot height and the gliuess was that this particular ed towards the latter What drew h It was the broad back of a soldier that fought with thick arrizzly’s attack while the othersthe corrupted beast down

Before my eyes could even deduce whether that person wastowards that battle

Within two e to strike down the grizzly, but ue in frustration The soldier was in a full set of ar a hel beside the soldier that was taking a momentary breather while the beast was occupied by the other soldiers, I took off his helmet

“Hey! What the hell—”

It wasn’t e to just crush the flimsy helmet in my hands, I shoved it back on the brawler’s head without a word

“ Move,” I ordered It wasn’t just directed towards the man Iand striking at the esout of ht to my words—or rather, word

The result: a 6,000-pound beast was tossed in the air and sent slaround shattered from the impact and the beast—as feral as it was—let out a deep wail in pain

“Holy crap,” a soldier that had been fighting the beast exclaihtly bent frorizzly’s armored pelt
