The Place Where He Was Reincarnated Was Hell - The 300-Year-Old Frontier Defense Line of the Margrave Family - Episode 28

___Has a few hours passed since then?

Victor had recently reduced the number of Eclipses from around 2,000 to just a few hundred.

While enduring the intense pain that shredded his thoughts, the source of magical power he squeezed out was burning hot. Demon organAether CoreMagic CircuitAether Bane

The magical power coursing through his body was accompanied by even more pain. Still, he couldn’t stop.

Victor was driven by an obsession that if he collapsed here, everyone who had retreated to Middle Line Fort would once again be swept away by the wave of despair known as the Eclipse.

“Until we receive the news that the reconstruction of Middle Line Fort is complete, we will wait here for a while.”

___Consciousness becomes clouded.

This was connected to hope for the future, the sense of mission that had been burned into her mind, she told herself over and over again–

The black despair that filled his field of vision surged upon him again, but the arm holding his sword began to twitch.

His body was far beyond its limits, and his vision was unsteady. Unable to focus, the eclipse appeared blurred, double, and triple in size.

The trajectory of his sword swing was now incomparably less precise than the precision he’d learned from watching Garland, and there were increasingly more wasted movements.

If it can’t be recreated magically, then-

“So, the effect of the magic has been interrupted? …But, the supply of magical power has caught up–“

Like a hungry beast, Eclipse will not miss that slight opportunity.

“—Gah…!”

Along with a dull impact, a sharp pain ran through my left shoulder. The pain woke me up from my clouded consciousness.

Damn it, I couldn’t avoid it.

I was careless.

The nasty feeling of flesh being torn apart.

Even through the armor, I could feel the warm bl00d running down my skin.

At the same time, heat ran through my right leg.

— This is bad… my mobility has been reduced.

If things continued like this, they would only become food for the Eclipse. That outcome must be avoided at all costs.

—At that moment, the Eclipse wave ahead of us broke into an unnatural, large crack.

What emerged from there was a swarm of creatures, far faster and more cunning than normal individuals.Special individual speciesChimera

A strange quadrupedal creature, similar to a dog or something similar, runs through the mud, undeterred, and begins to surround Victor.

Their movements are coordinated, making them far more troublesome than a single individual.

“Damn… they’re moving… so fast

Come here…!!”

Every muscle in his body was screaming, and his magical power was on the verge of depletion…

This is just forcing the body to move, and against a fast opponent, it would be fatal in this situation.

It would take too much magical power to face this guy right now…

It’s bad… but it’s solved False Hero Epic of Magic Armor replica

–That means “death.”

Suddenly, I feel unsteady on my feet.

My vision shook violently, and it was as if the world itself had tilted, and the ground was approaching me with a terrifying speed.

_____ consciousness ___ fade

_____Memories of this life flash through my mind like a slideshow.

–Everything is so difficult that I want to turn my face away.

We’re all kids, including me.

There were hardly any days when we laughed and played.

——The training scene with Garland fades away

『What the heck, using magic while getting burned? Are you stupid? What kind of situation is this?』 is what I thought at the time, but……

That’s exactly how I feel right now…

Ah…don’t cry…

All the young people at Vanguard are suffering and hurting, and the kids around me who can’t stand it are all crying.

I had no choice but to reach out my hand to him–

He laughed and was happy about such a small thing.

I wonder why…

That made me happy too…

–Ah, come to think of it, we did make a promise to ‘travel around the world’.

They’re all nothing special, though.

Every memory is filled with the footprints and feelings of my life at Vanguard—

My daily life was a mess, but I have no regrets or lingering feelings about it.

　　This is the best I can do

　　　　Here is the “proof of life.”

My memories of living as a Vanguard in this world—

____ Thud

With a pathetic thud, he collapsed onto the mud and rubble.

The strength left his entire body, and the balance that had been forcibly held in place by magic was completely lost.

Bl00d slowly oozed from the surface of his body, and the muscles beneath his skin began to spasm involuntarily, causing intense pain to run throughout his body.

It was as if a string had snapped, and I lost control of my body. It was difficult to even stand up straight.

“Is this… the end…?”

Despair rises in my chest.

In a place like this

If I feel like this

Everything up until now will end.

All the days I endured alone, and those days when everyone cried in pain, everything will be for nothing.

That’s not possible.

____I can never forgive that.

“…Don’t mess with me…I haven’t accomplished anything yet…”

With trembling arms, he holds the sword, covered in mud and bl00d, and stabs it into the ground.

Breathing heavily, he sat up and lifted his dirty face.

Ahead of my eyes was the Eclipse monster, its hideous mouth wide open as it slowly but surely approached me, intent on devouring me.

And then, with swift movements, they surrounded me.Special individual speciesChimera

“–! It’s so unpleasant…!!!”

He shouted in a hoarse voice, as if it was being squeezed out from the depths of his throat, but with strong will.

His voice was filled with anger at the despair, indignation at the absurdity of it all, and frustration at his powerlessness.

“——Everything…!!

Even this unreasonable world!!!

And there is a destiny that we, the Vanguard, cannot resist!!!

And then…this!!!

And my shitty body doesn’t do what I want it to…!!”

The sword was forcefully raised and lowered.

Special individual speciesChimerais blown away.

Again, a muscle somewhere tears, and I collapse.

Enduring the intense pain that numbed my entire body, I desperately tried to stand up. My legs were cramping, and I couldn’t put any strength into them.

I fell to my knees many times and almost buried my face in the mud.

Still, I won’t give up.

I can’t give up.

The rage welling up from within overwrites the despair that tries to take control of my entire body.

“Not yet…!!!”

“It’s not over yet…!!

I am…!! I am here…!!」

He staggered and readied his sword. The flock of Eclipses, like ravenous beasts, attacked Victor mercilessly.

______That moment

“–Sorry to keep you waiting, Victor!!!”

A sharp voice cut through the wind, instantly cutting through the air of hell.

Next, with a thunderous roar, a tremendous storm of wind blew across Victor’s field of vision, blowing away dozens of creatures in front of him in an instant.Special individual speciesChimera

Twisting and splitting, unable to withstand the wind pressure, the body was torn apart, viscera and black bl00d scattering as it disappeared into the distance.

The figure of a girl with silver hair and piercing eyes – Clarissa – jumped into view.

“C-Clarisse…?”

My body was reaching its limits.

Only when Clarissa ran up to him and supported his shoulders did Victor manage to stop himself from collapsing.

“–Are you okay? Victor!　

You… you’re not so worn out anymore!!”

A trembling voice.

She couldn’t hide the look on her face that she was about to burst into tears, but her hands were firmly supporting Victor.

In front of it.

The boy ran further across the ground, raising his sword and shouting.

“I’m gonna burn you all to ashes!! You bastards!!”

Alfons von Adler.

The sword in his hands exploded with heat, swelled up in an instant, the air around him was scorched, the rain evaporated, and everything in sight was dyed white.

The explosive flames that were released engulfed the hundred or so Eclipses that were waiting in front of them, and incinerated them.

The roar, the hot wind, the death throes. After everything had passed, all that was left was the charred remains of Mount Eclipse and a corner of the battlefield that had been reduced to scorched earth.

Victor looked up. No, Eclipse was moving around anymore.

Although it was only temporary, it was a sight that came to fruition for the first time in a long time, after days and days of fighting that seemed as if there would never be an end.

Complete exclusion.

“… Clarice, how many days have passed since then…? It must be about 40 days, right?… You’re late…”

Victor asked Clarissa in a husky voice. His sense of time had long since been broken. Breathing, standing, everything else was hazy.

Clarissa replied, supporting him on the shoulders and smiling through teary eyes.

“You idiot…it’s the 25th.

Victor.

…It’s been 25 days since then. Thanks to you, who risked your life to buy us time, Middle Line Fort was able to recover.

The new trainees are now able to fight, and most of the knights have recovered…thank you so much.”

Sobbing Oetsu. It was a voice that mixed

“…Huh…Only 25 days…?”

With a stunned expression on his face

Victor laughed derisively.

“I shouldn’t have tried to sound cool and said, ‘It will last a month’…”

A dry laugh escapes my throat.

His magical power was exhausted, and the effect of the Fake Hero’s Magic Armor had worn off, leaving his body completely immobile. His muscles were spasming beneath his skin.

「Well, that would be good.

As you can see…it’s in complete disrepair.

My magic is gone. I can’t do anything anymore.

…You see…it was twice as hard as Garland’s training… no, three times as hard… no, I don’t know anymore.”

“There’s no way it’s twice as much, you idiot…”

“You…um, what on earth is it that you sometimes tease Garland-sama about… seriously…”

Alfonse returns and says with a wry smile.

There were tear marks on his face, too.

“But… I’m glad you’re alive, Victor. Seriously, I’m glad… you’re alive…!”

Clarissa was so happy that Victor was safe, tears streaming down her face. Victor smiled slowly and wearily, and muttered in a husky voice:

“…Don’t cry, Clarice… I’m the one who wants to cry… No matter how many times I kill, it never ends… There’s no end to it… It’s tiring…”

With his head hanging down, Victor’s weight gave way, and he leaned against Clarissa’s chest as she stood next to him. Even through his armor, he could feel her warmth and the quickening of her heartbeat with relief.

“…I’m fed up, I can’t move.

Carry me. No one but Al…”

Clarissa smiled at his words.

“Other than Al, I’m the only one…

I always thought she looked older than her age, but has she just gone back to looking her age now???

____Oh!! Victor!! By the way, yesterday was your birthday! Happy 10th birthday!!”

–It’s true that when I turned 10, I was supposed to leave Vanguard Castle, take other knight candidates and regular soldiers, and head to Middle Line Fort. That was the original plan.

In the end, after I confirmed with Isabella that there was a “magic transmission” of “Frontline Destruction”, I left everything to Garland and rushed to this hell. In the end, he made his battlefield debut not at 10 years old, but at just 9 years and 11 months old. That’s not the level of abuse. I completely forgot about his birthday.

…But

“…Is that what you’re saying now?”

「Hey. Isn’t that a bit unfair?

Only Victor is being hugged.”

That doesn’t matter, you idiot.

Right now, I feel so relieved that I can’t stand up without someone supporting me.

“Shut up… Then, Al, you’ll also be doing a 25-day endurance race here…

Start, go…”

“Only a monster could do that!!”

“Who’s the monster? You muscle-brained idiot.

…Oh, that’s bad… my consciousness…”

Victor’s body suddenly collapses.

“Victor?!　

Wait a second?… Victor!!”

Clarissa cried out, and Alphonse rushed over, but Victor’s consciousness had already sunk into a deep, deep sleep.

“Ahh… soft…”

Such a somewhat childish impression.

Finally, leave ___
