A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 114: (1)

Struck by Lumbaniums fist, Canien soared hundreds of meters through the air, tumbling amid the wreckage before coming to a halt.

To think that such a feat could be accomplished with a single punch was unbelievable.

Lumbanium glanced at Canien, who was shivering all over as he lay on the ground, before turning his gaze towards the quietly observing elder, Barian.

Barian, it seems like Canien might not survive another hit in his weakened state, dont you think?

Hmm, I was somewhat looking forward to seeing an ancient monster for the first time, but it cant be helped.

When Barian raised his hand, his body floated up into the air, swiftly moving toward where Canien had fallen.

Ugh If only I had more strength If it werent for that damn insect!

Despite Barians close proximity, Canien shouted loudly, seemingly unaware of the fact. Barian briefly covered his ears with both hands and then slowly moved towards Caniens face, which had turned red in anger.

Whats the name of the ancient monster? We cant just keep calling it an ancient monster, can we?

Grrr Are you a wizard? I sense an immense amount of mana from you. A mana that shouldnt belong to humans

Canien replied in a resigned tone as if he had given up, after looking at Barian, for him, both Lumbanium and this wizard were equally monstrous. Lumbanium possessed an incomprehensible power that he didnt emit externally, and this wizard, unlike him, emitted vast amounts of mana, suppressing his own aura.

From the moment he encountered Lumbanium, his fate was sealed. He just didnt want to admit it.

Yes, I am a wizard. Now, will you answer my questions?

Just kill me I dont want to live like this anymore.

Sigh You wont make it easy, will you? Then, lets make it a bit more challenging.

As if urging him to hurry up and die, Canien loudly shouted, but Barian raised one hand towards him. From the center of Caniens head, a white stream of energy emerged, converging towards Barians outstretched hand.

Ugh! What are you doing?! Aaargh!

Canien opened his eyes wide, screaming in agony.

Just a moment Just a moment. Thats right.

Ugh

Kuung!

After a while, when the white stream of energy in Barians hand had condensed to the size of a human head, and the flow had stopped, Canien seemed to lose consciousness and slammed his head against the ground.

Barian, are you trying to read his memories?

Lumbanium, who had approached unnoticed, asked Barian, who nodded while holding the condensed energy in his hand.

Yes, we need to. We must find out how he survived and who did this to him.

Well I heard it puts a lot of strain on the body. Are you okay?

Im more tormented by not knowing the answers.

Heh Well, youre a wizard after all. Do as you please.

Then please take care of this guy. Ill check how things have been going.

Another bothersome task for me.

With a reluctant expression, Lumbanium drew his greatsword in response to Barians request. Barian smiled and unhesitatingly directed a white aura toward his own head.

Grrrk!

As the aura was completely absorbed, Barian grimaced in pain. The memories of Canien, contained within the white aura, flowed into Barians mind like a torrent, causing him mental anguish that would have been unbearable for an ordinary person.

Fortunately, Barian, a highly trained high-level mage, could endure it with just a grimace.

After a long while of Lumbanium completely dealing with Canien, Barian, who had closed his eyes, opened them.

Phew

As he sighed, Barian, who had just opened his eyes, first saw Lumbanium sitting calmly on the remains of Canien, which had been shattered to the point of becoming dust.

So, Barian, who is the one who made this guy like this?

I dont know.

In response to Lumbaniums question, Barian answered with a slightly puzzled expression.

Hmm? Havent you seen this guys memories?

Thats correct I dont know what to say Most of the recent memories were completely shattered. The only partially remaining memory is that they arrived at Lumbanium and killed the knights Its unlikely that they made this guy like this.

I see So this guys condition is the result of someone elses actions.

I suspect it might be.

Despite Barians efforts to read all of Caniens memories, he couldnt find any memories related to Kaiyan. More precisely, his recent memories were all fragmented.

Well, have you figured out how this guy ended up here, 200 years later?

Oh, thankfully, I found that. It turns out it was the work of Markein Gullian. If I had known, I would have dealt with it 50 years ago.

The name of the Lich who had fought for his life against Kaiyan at the Babelin Castle came out of Barians mouth, and after hearing Barians words, Lumbanium, deep in thought, seemed to recall it.

Markein Is that the dark mage who disappeared not too long ago?

Yes, thats right. According to this guys memories, three surviving ancient monsters lived hidden in the residence 200 years ago. Fifty years ago, they met Markein and were captured by him. Well, from the perspective of a dark mage, ancient monsters are a good source of energy.

In other words, when Markein died, these guys were released. And they returned to Lumbanium to find the power I had sealed. But how did they cross the borders of the human kingdom and come here?

As Barian pondered, Lumbanium tilted his head as if it couldnt comprehend. Barian sighed and spoke.

Phew The world is quite different now compared to when you were active. Apart from the Monster Wave, you could say its quite peaceful.

Whats the relevance of that?

It matters. Will humans who know nothing about ancient monsters maintain proper vigilance? They dont conduct rigorous inspections like they used to; its mostly formalities now.
