A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 110: (2)

Compared to the pain he was currently feeling, being hit by Carnien’s tentacles seemed like a joke.

-So, that’s how it is… You are a player! You obtained the spinner thing with your abilities, right? But it’s a bit unusual… Carrying pieces with you when you don’t know?

“What… What are you talking about?”

As he spoke, the pain that had been tormenting him in his mind slowly vanished.

-You don’t need to know about that. Or rather, should I say I can’t tell you even if I wanted to. What’s important now is that you’ve piqued my interest, hehe!

“You’re insane…”

Hearing his laughter sent shivers down his entire body.

There was something about him that triggered a fundamental fear. The fear that the lowest prey feels when meeting the highest predator.

Suppressing the trembling of his body with rising anger instead of fear, Kaiyan opened his mouth.

“What do you want from me? What do I have to do for you to let me go?”

Considering the overwhelming power emanating from him, negotiation seemed a better option than shouting without a plan. After all, he had come here using player items; maybe he could be of help.

-Heh heh! Just asking me for something like that… Very well! Make a contract with me, human. In return, I will not only heal your body outside but also lend you my power.

“A contract? What kind of contract are you talking about? What are your conditions?”

-Exactly what it sounds like. I just want to see the world through you. That’s my condition. Simple and good for you.

“Is that all? Really…?”

From Kaiyan’s perspective, who had come to understand that this entity was a formidable presence, it was an incomprehensible contract condition.

-Will you do it? You should decide quickly. Your body outside is slowly dying!

“What?”

That’s right; that entity had clearly mentioned that.

Going outside could mean experiencing unbearable pain and even death. And making a contract would mean getting healed.

Honestly, Kaiyan felt relieved to hear that. He had been attacked twice by Canien’s tentacles, but he hadn’t died yet.

“…Fine. I’ll make the contract. What do I have to do?”

-Heh heh! You will show me the world as you live it, and in return, I will heal your body and lend you my power. The contract is complete. Now go! Return and illuminate the world for me!

“That’s it…”

Aaaaaah!

Kaiyan wanted to ask how he knew all this, what it meant to lend his power, and so many other questions. But as the entity’s words ended, a blinding light burst forth, and his consciousness gradually faded.

The Lumbanium Castle being destroyed by Canien.

Kihahahahah!

The enlarged Canien roared as it mercilessly destroyed buildings both inside and outside the castle using its tentacles without distinction.

Buildings crumbled like sandcastles with each swing of its tentacles, demonstrating its massive size and immense strength.

Krrrrrash!

The buildings crumbled, and the ground shook as if an earthquake had struck, causing people to scramble desperately to a safer distance.

All of this was possible because Kaiyan had bought them time.

If Kaiyan hadn’t bought time facing the monsters, not even half of them would have escaped before the castle collapsed.

Thanks to him, everyone had taken refuge in Lumbanium, except for one person and a cat.

In the midst of the chaos, a white kitten was feeding a severely injured boy amidst the rubble, blood streaming over his entire body.

“Kaiyan, please!”

No, except for one person and a cat.

Rieka, who had been fleeing outward, heard Canien’s scream and, with a worried heart, turned back towards Kaiyan, heading inward. However, as she neared the innermost area, someone fell from the sky. It was Kaiyan, covered in blood from head to toe.

“If you die like this, I won’t just stand by! Have you forgotten our promise to survive together? Get up, please!”

Kaiyan had already consumed five potions.

He had used up all the emergency potions he had been carrying. However, Kaiyan’s condition was so dire that only some of his external injuries had been healed, and the critical situation remained unchanged.

At this rate, his time until death would only be slightly delayed.

“…Please.”

With a short front paw on Kaiyan’s head, Rieka bowed her head.

“If only I could use elixirs… I could have saved Kaiyan…”

As helpful as the assistant was, there were areas it couldn’t interfere with.

To open the storage, Kaiyan’s will was absolutely necessary. However, he was in a state of unconsciousness, nearing death.

Rieka, no matter how hard she thought, couldn’t come up with a solution. Frustrated, she looked at Canien, who was annihilating the castle with a resentful expression.

“Everyone… because of that guy…”

As Rieka pondered her anger, she took out the remaining magic scrolls from the ring hanging around her neck.

“A total of three… If only I can deal some damage to him…”

There wasn’t a single powerful spell in the emergency scrolls. Out of the three remaining, two were protective spells, and the other was the stationary magic used when defeating the Twin-Headed Ogre.

Rieka put the scrolls back into the ring and looked at Kaiyan with sad eyes.

“Kaiyan, what good is a helper without a player? Wait for me… I’ll hit the monster hard and follow you.”

Suppressing tears that were about to burst, Rieka quickly turned towards the direction of the monster as she was about to approach it.

“…See you later.”

“… Rieka”

As Rieka bid Kaiyan a final farewell, a voice faintly echoed from where he lay collapsed.
