Chapter 62:Ex-Party’s Perspective(6)

“Damn it! What the hell is going on!? Hey! Hey!? This is all because of you…”

“Guh… ga…”

“Fade-san! Move! Heal! …Heal!”

“Gaaah…”

In the forest near the dragon’s graveyard, there were four adventurers. Technically, there were three and one corpse.

It seemed that the corpse was moving, but it was actually because the overwhelming miasma in the area was transforming the person into a different creature.

However, the saint, Quella, could not give up. She didn’t want to lose any more comrades in front of her. She regretted how she had felt at that time. She still couldn’t shake the voice that blamed her, wondering if there was something she could have done.

After all, the comrade she had abandoned at that time had crawled back from that situation… The voice that blamed her for not doing something she could have done wouldn’t leave her head.

“Damn it!”

Fade punched a nearby rock. He thought that this was the only option. That’s why he ignored other possibilities and relied on this one.

No, he realized that it was a gamble now.

Until now, he had thought that this plan was perfect and there was no need to consider the possibility of failure.

But when he opened the lid, he was faced with a situation that was worse than the worst-case scenario.

“Why did Land…”

He didn’t want to admit it. But the moment they saw the dragon zombie they had awakened, they knew they were going to die. They were shaking with fear.

And in the face of that overwhelming pressure, the party do nothing but run away.

And yet…

“Why did Land have to become such a monster…”

He ran away while Land fought.

It wasn’t a matter of ability.

In terms of mentality, he had lost. There was a huge difference between him and Land.

“What are you going to do, Fade?”

Meiru asked him.

Since Roig was hit directly by the dragon’s attack.

They had been hiding from Land by using magic, thanks to that, they were not found, but Land had brought the device back.

They were fully aware that they were in a situation where they could not escape.

“What can we do!? The dragon zombie we were supposed to give as a souvenir is no longer here! No, even if Land had died, there was no way we could have won against that thing…”

“Fade-san…”

He said it out loud. And in that moment, something inside Fade broke.

“Everything we did to try to beat Land…”

“Fade-san…?”

“Don’t you guys realize it too?! That Land is actually strong! That I used dirty tactics! So he couldn’t shine… That’s why!”

“Fade-san! Please calm down!”

“You’ve been like this all along! Were you making fun of us? Were you mocking us?”

Fade’s didn’t stop his rampage.

“Damn it! Everything… everything is over!”

“Fade-san?”

Fade drew his sword and looked down at Roig’s body.

“If you hadn’t done something so unnecessary!”

“Stop it!”

“Shut up!”

SFX: Slash..

“That’s… ”

Fade’s sword had cleanly cut off Roig’s head.

“Fade…”

Meiru murmured.

The party had reached a point of no return.
