I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Could it be that... Lord Sadler intends to use the third-tier magic 'Group Physical Enhancement'? Indeed, using offensive magic at this time is less effective than using strengthening magic. Lord Sadler is a level 31 priest of the Hikalite Church, so using third-tier magic won't consume too much energy..."

However, there was a reason why Sadler had not used this magic before - which could comprehensively enhance soldiers in terms of strength, speed, and perception. The chanting time of the third-level magic was very long, and it would consume a quarter of one's magic power at a time. In the underground tower where one could encounter the enemy commander at any time, using this kind of magic was not a wise choice. If it were not for Dain's strong request, Sadler would never have chosen to take action.

Just as Sadler was still chanting the magic, there was a sudden commotion on the battlefield ahead. With his keen perception, Dyne could feel that it was not a sound of panic, but a small cheer similar to exclamation.

After a while, not only Dyn, but also the soldier next to him felt this strangeness.

"Leader, did something happen up ahead?"

Chapter 75: A mysterious person in the quasi-hero field?

"Leader, did something happen up ahead?"

"Did you feel it too?"

"Well, it's just that the visibility here is too poor and I can't see clearly. Can you use a magic lamp to illuminate this place?"

"No problem. It can only last a minute, but that should be enough."

Dain raised the branch-shaped staff in his hand, and after a brief chant, a first-level "magic lamp" appeared in his hand. Considering that suddenly being too bright would affect the soldiers' battle, Dain deliberately controlled the magic lamp to slowly change from dark to bright, and finally threw the light source into the air. The entire hall instantly changed from dusk to day.

His gaze wandered to the front line for a moment—he could see the soldiers ahead lined up in several rows to fight the undead, while the strongest Death Knights were separated in corners by several teams of adventurers, ready to be defeated one by one. The battle was extremely stalemate.

"What the hell just happened—"

The moment this sentence was spoken, Dain froze in place, as if he had seen something incredible, with his mouth open for a long time and unable to close.

"Th-that thing, what is...what is it?"

Even his speech began to become slurred. Dyne stretched out a trembling hand and pointed somewhere on the front line. This was the first time that Dyne had lost his composure like this since he was promoted to an orichalcum-level adventurer.

But this cannot be blamed on Dain, because what he saw was indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In fact, even the burly warrior next to Dain looked like his jaw was about to drop to the ground.

——A blue-white whirlwind was raging behind the undead.

Of course, this is just a figure of speech. If you look closely, Dyne can still find that it is not some supernatural thing, but a humanoid creature jumping among the undead. It's just that the other party's speed is so fast that ordinary people look like a gust of wind at first glance.

If he only looked at the speed, Dyne wouldn't be so surprised. If he cast the "acceleration" magic on the scouts in the team, he could achieve this effect in a short time. But the problem is that the above conditions must be a straight sprint. For ordinary people, it is impossible to make nimble leaps and dodges at this speed. The difficulty is equivalent to dropping a drop of water accurately into a kettle at a height of 20 meters.

But not only did the other party do it, he was even able to take away the undead around him while leaping - it was completely unclear what kind of weapon he was holding, nor how he took away the undead. Everything was so fantastic that Dain was stunned on the spot.

It took a full half minute for Dyne to come back to his senses. He seemed to have just experienced a great battle. He maintained rapid shallow breathing and turned his head to look at Sadler.

"No, that's impossible! That speed is close to the human limit! What the hell is that?!"

Because he didn't know whether the other party was a friend or foe, Dain couldn't help but imagine what he would do if it was an enemy - a chill rose in his heart, and his subconscious mind told him that if he didn't cast all-round protection now and escape quickly, he would have no way to resist the other party.

Hoping for luck, Dain grabbed Sadler's shoulders regardless of his identity.

"Master Sadler, is that a hidden trick you have? Hehehe... If you have such an ally, you should have told us earlier. You've made us so worried."

But what terrified Dyne was that Sadler's eyes were filled with confusion, and even the magic he was chanting was subconsciously interrupted.

"I, I don't remember anyone like that in our team. After all, I can't even see what it looks like... Mr. Dyne, is that someone from your team?"

Although he knew in his heart that they were definitely not his companions, Dyne couldn't help but look behind him - unfortunately, all five members of the team were staying where they were.

"Ha, haha... Lord Sadler, that thing must be one of ours. Since it's helping us fight the undead, it must be one of ours. Perhaps it's one of those Orichalcum—no, Crimson Gold-rank adventurers who deliberately concealed his name, wanting to help in the suppression campaign from the shadows. But now, unable to bear the sight of our soldiers being slaughtered by the undead, he's taking action."

"The leader is right. I, I think so too. Lord Sadler is highly respected, so it's normal for a Crimson Gold-rank adventurer to lend a hand. Hahaha."

On the surface, it was a hearty smile, but to Sadler's ears, it was just a dry laugh no matter how he listened to it. But even if it was a dry laugh, Sadler really wanted to hear such words now, the kind of words that could comfort him that the other person was one of his own.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve without leaving a trace, Sadler looked closely at the whirlwind in front of him. Then he looked around at the soldiers around him and found that they could not even hold their weapons steadily. They were shocked by this supernatural scene and were trembling all over. The evidence was that he could hear an extremely slight sound of armor colliding, which was a sound that only occurred when the body was trembling.

In just the time it took to talk, the whirlwind had swept away all the ordinary undead, leaving only broken bones and smelly body fluids on the ground. Even so, the opponent had no intention of stopping and quickly jumped to the side of the Death Knight who was fighting with the adventurers, as if he wanted to help the adventurers get rid of the Death Knight. Of course, this was just Dain's wishful thinking. Before the reality really appeared before his eyes, no one could be sure who the weapon would be swung at.

The blue-white whirlwind leaped high—seemingly running out of power in the middle, using a skill similar to a "multi-jump"—and with the help of the gradually dimming light hanging from the ceiling of the hall, Dyne could see that the other party was holding a long-handled weapon emitting a strong metallic luster. Then, before the adventurers could react, he swung his scythe down heavily. With just one blow, the Death Knight, known for his high health and high defense, fell to the ground. Although he was not killed in one blow, it definitely did not look like he could participate in the battle again.

Like Sadler, Dain also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his magic robe. Fortunately, the other party was here to deal with the undead and had no intention of attacking him and his group.

Perhaps remembering something, Dyne looked at the warrior holding a hatchet beside him.

"How long will it take you to deal with the Death Knight?"

"If it's a one-on-one fight... it can be completely resolved within five minutes."

"What if I let you use only one attack like that person just now?"

"That's impossible, Captain! That person is at least a Crimson Gold-rank adventurer. I'd even believe he's in the Quasi-Hero realm. Comparing me with that person is simply asking too much!"

A bitter look appeared on the warrior's face. Judging from the way he hugged his arms, he was probably trying his best to hide the trembling of his body. After witnessing the horrific scene of the Death Knight being destroyed in one blow, any intelligent individual would unconsciously put himself into the Death Knight's perspective and think about how he would deal with it if it were him. But the fact was, if he didn't release defensive magic in advance, he would not be able to deal with it at that speed. Considering the Death Knight's own defensive capabilities, it is very likely that even if he used defensive magic in advance, it would not have much effect. It was completely terrifying.

"Quasi-Hero territory, huh?... We're so arrogant just reaching the Orichalcum rank! It seems we'll need to train further in the demon clan's natural labyrinth after completing this commission..."

After muttering to himself, Dyne raised his head and tried to catch sight of the figure, but because the duration of the "magic lamp" had expired, the entire hall fell into darkness again, so he could not see the powerful man in the quasi-hero field.

"Where is that gentleman?"

Dyne looked at his companions and Sadler.

"No, I don't know. It seems he's gone, but I can't be sure."

"Have you left already? Master Sadler, I suggest you stop treating us so specially from now on. With such a strong person in the team, we really can't afford to continue to receive such treatment."

"Ah...ah, Mr. Dyne is truly a reasonable person."

“That’s as it should be, as it should be…”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wiped the cold sweat from their heads again, and couldn't help but turn their gaze to the back of the team, but because they thought that this might disturb the adult, they immediately retracted their heads.

Thinking that there might be soldiers watching him in front, Sadler coughed twice to break the silence around him.

"Clean up the battlefield and count the casualties!"

Chapter 76: Ella's Worries

After returning from the hall, Ella couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"So, Angelina, you're being too conspicuous."

I had only thought of having Angeline relieve some of the pressure on the soldiers and then deal with some of the Death Knights that the adventurers couldn't handle, but instead, she simply wiped out all the undead. Although Angeline's speed was so fast that the soldiers probably didn't see who had done it, there's no guarantee that no one would have caught a glimpse of something highly symbolic—like a giant scythe or a blue and white dress adorned with black bows.

“Hehehe, I accidentally went too far…”

Ella's complaint made Angeline scratch her long brown hair embarrassedly, and then she hugged Ella's neck from behind with a happy look.

"And that's also because of Ella. She added so many enhancement spells, and I didn't want them to go to waste, so I kept using them until their duration ran out. But I also checked a few other things. For example, the headdress Ella gave me yesterday was engraved with the third-level defensive magic 'Magic Shield' and the second-level enhancement magic 'Physical Enhancement', right?"

"That's true, but it's obvious that Angelina is trying to change the subject. Well, now I can only hope no one notices."

Otherwise, he would need to use other excuses to cover it up - concealing his strength was to prevent Sadler from using him and his group as saviors at a critical moment, which would cause all kinds of trouble.

Gently pushing away Angelini who was hugging her from behind like a child, Ella looked up at Camisia who came forward to greet her.

"Your Majesty the Princess."

"Camisia, you're too worried. That's nothing. But judging by the situation now, all the adventurers have indeed been dispatched."

Apart from himself and his group, there were only a handful of soldiers left around, and no adventurers were still there, giving people a very empty feeling.

After glancing at a few nervous-looking soldiers in the distance, Iris turned around.

"Ten Death Knights are already a formidable force for ordinary people, right? I remember there were rumors that a small town in the north was massacred by Death Knights. So it's only natural that all adventurers are mobilized now."

"really……"

Unable to refute Iris's words, Ella nodded seriously. Take the town of Ryan as an example. There is no one in the entire town above level 15. Add to that the gap in equipment and racial quality. It would not be an exaggeration to call the Death Knight a disaster.

"The adventurers are back."

Shen Gan, who had been leaning against the wall, moved his cat ears. After a while, the adventurers rushed into the narrow passage together. Most of them had blushes on their faces - not shyness, but the blush that only appears when one is extremely excited. They whispered to each other, as if they were discussing something.

"Hey, hey, see that thing, like a whirlwind, what is that?"

"It should be Dyne-sama and the others..."

"But aren't they all next to the city lord?"

"I saw it. It looked like a person with long hair. She killed the Death Knight with just one strike. Thanks to her, I also gained Death Knight experience. I should be able to level up soon."

A smug look appeared on the face of the adventurer who spoke.

"Tsk, that gentleman also helped our team defeat the Death Knight, and I also gained experience."

"Rather than that, I'm more concerned about where that adult came from."

"Maybe he's in our team?"

All the adventurers stopped in their tracks and craned their necks to look around, as if they could find the adventurer they were talking about.

"Ha, haha, no way, someone of that rank wouldn't settle for a place like ours. I heard Crimson Gold-rank adventurers are incredibly arrogant, so why would they want to hang out with a bunch of us? They can live like nobles, but they're hanging out with commoners. They must have a problem with their brains, right?"

Probably because they agreed with this statement, the adventurers around nodded, and some even laughed along.

The adventurer was very proud of his companion's nod, and he continued to pat his exposed chest.

"In my opinion, that gentleman must have just happened to be passing by and gave us a hand."

"Yeah, Jack is right."

"Yes, that must be the case."

"Hey, Jack, cut the talk."

There were discordant voices in the team. In response, the adventurer named Jack, who had drawn the conclusion earlier, frowned and showed a very dissatisfied expression. In order to express his impatience, he deliberately raised his voice.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"You... look over there..."

Shocked by Jack's voice, the thin adventurer shrank his neck and pointed at Ella, who was now shocked by Jack's words: "If someone can live the same life as a noble but mixes with commoners, he must be mentally ill."

When Jack discovered that there were still nobles in the team, he immediately put away his impatience, touched his nose awkwardly, and turned his eyes away.

"Ha, ahahahaha... I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean it seriously."

"Don't push me, what's wrong?"

As Jack tried to cover up his mistake, discordant voices suddenly emerged among the adventurers.

"Dyne-sama is here."

"Well……"

"Don't worry, just treat us as ordinary adventurers."

As the voice sounded, a group of adventurers with obviously unique equipment appeared in the corridor. Judging from the way the people around them immediately made way for them, they must be of very high status.

No longer paying attention to the commotion from the adventurers, Ella grabbed Angeline who kept looking out.

"Don't look. He's an Orichalcum-rank adventurer. He might have come to investigate because he saw Angelique."

"Eh... Is that an Orichalcum-rank adventurer... This is the first time I've seen one."

"Hasn't Angelini seen this before, when we were at the Holy Academy?"

If I remember correctly, before meeting me, Angelini relied on being an adventurer to earn tuition and living expenses for the Holy Academy. Given the average level of the Holy Academy, orichalcum-level should not be that difficult to find.

Ella's words made Angeline pout, looking quite resentful.

"There are so many people at the Sacred Academy. As soon as they heard there was an Orichalcum-rank adventurer, everyone rushed over. It was impossible to squeeze through the crowd. This is the first time I've seen an Orichalcum-rank adventurer up close."

"...Compared to Camisia-senpai, the Orichalcum rank is nothing."

"Fuka-chan is surprisingly stimulating."

Fukagan's words made everyone turn their attention to Camisia, and in the end, it was Lotte who spoke her inner thoughts.

"It's strange that I could be walking with someone like Miss Kamisia."

"Hey, this is all thanks to little Ella."

"Angelini, stop putting your face close to mine while you're talking. Are you a cat?"

"...I don't think even a cat would be like that."

"It always feels strange when Ms. Fukamaki says that."

Her eyes unconsciously fell on Shen Gan's cat ears, and Ella couldn't help but think about things she had never cared about.
