BRAGR) Charging Forward Part 2 (Patreon)

Ignoring the the strangeness in my maid’s words I had to admit Hilde really did do the job. All the monsters turned towards her and I even finally passed level 30 and reached level 32. This was the good thing about all these monsters being a level higher than me. Although now I out-level them but they will still give me decent experience for the next few levels.

I gave Hilde the time she needed to grab aggro on all the mobs before charing in myself. With their backs turned to me, I could easily rush up and cut them down one after the other.

One after the other, a monster died by my blade. I did not want to waste my magic here because I felt that destroying the core would not be that easy.

I had no precedent on why I felt this way but my gut feeling was telling me I should prepare ahead of time. That was why I was only using my sword. If it was not for Hilde, though, I could say I would probably be dead by now. This many monsters were just too much for me alone. I really owed her for helping me as she was. Summon or not, I never thought of Hilde, Silvie, or Mati as actual summons but friends. I know I gave orders here and there, but I never once thought of them as objects to be used.

“Hehe…” A soft giggle floated through my mind. This time, it was not Hilde since I knew her laugh. It seemed to be Silvie this time.

Almost an hour later, Hilde and I stood on top of a mountain of monsters. I was covered in blood, but somehow, Hilde was perfectly clean from head to toe, which kind of irked me by a lot. “Is that all of them?”

After all said and done my level jumped from level 29 to level 35.

My sword master skyrocketed as well.

“Master there are no more monsters in the area. Shall I tell the Miss Jada and Mr. Mike over?”

“Yeah, if there is no need for them to hide then they should come over and get some close up footage of this. While it might be a bit gorey, it is better to show the reality of things.”

“Understood.” Hilde disappeared from where she stood. I raised my head and looked over the dead monsters in front of me and noticed a strange purple light covering a spot between the two buildings. “A barrier?”

While a barrier was not new to me it did surprise me to see one out here. It could either be where the core is or people. If it is people, then it would be a good place for Jada and Mike to rest for a while.

Trying to fight monsters in a confined space would make it hard to protect the two. I didn’t wish to kick them to the side because they were showing the truth of the new world, but I also did not wish for any of them to die either.

“This is just…” A voice came from below taking my eyes from the barrier. I looked down to see Jada getting herself ready to talk to the camera while Mike took in the pile of monsters with this camera.

It did not take her long to compose herself as she turned and looked up at me. “How does it feel to have killed so many monsters that our bombs could not even touch?”

“Tiring!” I replied honestly. I was really tired!

“I bet. Having to deal with so many monsters is no easy task. The people watching the broadcast have all witnessed your heroic feat. Your destination is in sight. What do you plan to do after you done with your current task?”

“I will be headed back to my territory. Take a nice hot bath and enjoy a nice lap pillow from my girlfriend.”

That got a giggle out of Jada as she smiled at me. “That sounds like a good time.”

“You and Mike will be there so feel free to walk around and report what you see. You can show them how people are living even in the middle of an apocalypse. I want you to show them what our new world will be like first hand. It is not always about killing monsters but also about how you live after things begin to settle down.”

“We will be sure to do that.” Jada turned back to the camera and began speaking with those who might be watching. I said it before, but her dedication was amazing.

I do hope their broadcast can help those who were watching. Allow them to understand how one can still continue in the new world. As long as we can keep people from giving up, they, too, might see the new future.
