Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 141 I Can't Turn Back

The deep shouts and the clanging sounds of metal fighting echoed everywhere. There were also the sounds of people falling, the sound of rubble collapsing, and the screams of monsters.

At the same time, the sounds of magic being released and explosions could be heard. As the magicians also went all out, the situation became even more thrilling.

Every time you hear an explosion, there's the sound of a monster screaming or something being destroyed. Although these sounds aren't pleasant, they're much better than people screaming in pain.

Suddenly, a soldier wondered: Will this battle ever really end?

Even if they succeed in repelling all approaching monsters, can this crisis really be resolved and peaceful daily life really return?

As the battle progressed, the immediate uneasiness was gradually eliminated, but it was replaced by uneasiness in another sense.

The soldiers - no, all those who participated in the battle had second thoughts. They couldn't help but think that it would be better if there were no large-scale battles at all. Ordinary daily life was the greatest peace.

"Monsters are pouring into the shelter!" A shout came from somewhere.

The soldier shook his head, dispelled the previous thoughts, mustered up his courage again, picked up his weapon and rushed out. At the same time, a soldier serving as a messenger in the central area arrived breathlessly.

"Report! The monsters in the south and east have been successfully guided and are just around the corner!"

"News has come from the west! Monsters will arrive here soon!"

After receiving the report from the soldiers, Sergio and Wesley smiled slightly excitedly.

"Well, it's finally here...are you ready, old man?"

"Who are you talking to? Don't get too carried away yourself, retired old man!"

As they bickered like children, Felini stole a glance over her shoulder.

(Palace...Is Austin okay?)

Just as she was feeling uneasy, a shout was heard. A large group of monsters had gathered together. Filini temporarily put aside those thoughts and prepared for battle.

A few minutes later, a huge explosion was heard in the central area, and the surrounding soldiers and adventurers were speechless and experienced unspeakable shock.

----------------------

“Well… that’s too bad.”

Austin, who arrived at the palace with Brenda, frowned at the tragic scene before him.

The scene that should have been sparkling was now destroyed and tattered everywhere, which was simply unbearable to look at. Thinking that all this might have been done by Minerva, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Brenda looked in a certain direction with a frozen expression: "…His Highness Michel is unconscious and has a big bump on his head."

In the direction Brenda pointed, Michel was lying on the ground. His clothes were tattered and his hair was curled as if it had been permed. Obviously, he had been directly attacked by the attackers of the palace. Austin smiled as he predicted this.

“It’s a bit disrespectful, but it saves a lot of trouble. There won’t be any extra distractions.”

“That’s all I have to say here.”

“Then I’d be grateful.”

Although they smiled, their expressions quickly tightened because the person they had been looking for for a whole day finally showed up.

Austin squinted his eyes and looked at the girl standing on the stairs: "Minerva..."

"Oh, isn't it Brother Austin? It's been a long time."

"It hasn't been that long, has it? At most I saw him the day before yesterday."

"Well, it doesn't matter." Minerva straightened her hair and looked down at Austin. "I want to ask my brother something. Where is Brother Seide? It seems he is not in the palace."

"I don't know. I heard that he went out on a mission yesterday."

“Don’t make silly jokes at a time like this. Even if you want to defend that jerk, it’s no good. Just tell me where you hid that jerk, Seid. That’s all.”

Austin sighed at Minerva's loud laughter. He was not lying, that was true, but even if he told the truth here, Austin didn't think Minerva would believe him.

But he still thought it was better to speak out directly than to evade it cunningly. Trouble was inevitable anyway, Austin thought.

“…I have a lot to say, but that’s all I can say. I don’t know. Go find out for yourself.”

"That's why I'm asking you this because I can't find it."

"is that so?"

"You're not going to tell me the truth, are you?"

“I really don’t know. So I can’t answer your question.”

"My brother is so stubborn today. Minerva is a little angry."

That's what I wanted to say. Austin wanted to complain, but realized that it would only cause more trouble, so he swallowed the words on his lips. He put the thought that the result would not change no matter what in the end, in the bottom of his heart for the time being.

"Well, even if you are my brother, I have no choice but to act forcefully this time. Come down. It's time for you to come on stage." When Minerva shouted this, a young man emerged from the shadow of the pillar.

He held a rapier, his hands were shaking, and his face was pale. It seemed that he did not come here voluntarily, and both Austin and Brenda showed surprised expressions.

"Erwin MacReady. You've shown me another pathetic figure."

"Uh... you have no idea what I'm thinking, you just say it so confidently..."

“You talk too much.”

After being sternly stopped by Minerva, Erwin fell silent. Judging from the way he was forced to obey, he seemed to have no other choice. Austin shifted his gaze and asked:

"Erwin. You know what's going to happen, don't you? Drop your sword and come here. There's still time..."

"Shut up! I have no way out. Now... there is no turning back!" Facing Erwin's shouting who was forced into a desperate situation, Austin quietly closed his eyes: "What a pity. Then, we can only knock you down."

"How is this possible..."

"Can you really do this? I don't think you can knock down your own sister with your own hands."

“Don’t underestimate me.”

Minerva and Austin's voices overlapped, interrupting Erwin's words. Then, Austin tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and began to charge. Minerva instantly noticed the seriousness in his eyes.

"Go ahead."

When Minerva said this, Erwin reacted suddenly and walked in front of Minerva. Austin's sword collided with Erwin's rapier. There was not even a crack on the specially made rapier.
