Chapter 62 The Belated Annihilation

Two hours after the expeditionary force set off.

Waaah...

The guild's door was pushed open, and a woman walked in.

Her eyes were slightly red, indicating that she had been crying for a long time.

This woman.

It was Leah!

They arrived at the hotel where Leon was staying.

However, the boss informed him that Leon and Lilith had already left.

"Have you accepted the commission?"

Leah was somewhat surprised.

but.

Thinking about Leon's situation, Leah understood in her heart.

The reason Leon keeps taking on commissions is...

Was it for a child named Anna?

She appears to be Leon's sister.

She didn't know that Anna was someone who was like a childhood sweetheart.

after all.

Previously, Leah hadn't paid much attention to Leon.

He's just a perverted brat who likes to stare at Marta's chest.

This is her assessment!

but……

That's no longer the case.

Although he's a kid, he gives off a very reliable vibe.

After pushing open the guild door, Lia went straight to the restaurant.

"Have they already set off?"

At this time, not many people remained in the guild.

so.

At a glance, you can see that Leon is nowhere to be seen in the corner.

"Should we wait for him to come back?"

Would you like to take on a commission?

"Let's forget about it."

The bows and arrows were also damaged in the wetland forest.

Although Leon picked her up...

However, it is no longer usable.

not to mention.

Given my current situation, I probably don't have any suitable clients to work with.

"Um... could you help me see what kind of commission Leon accepted?"

Even though we were waiting for him to come back.

but.

If it's a B-level mission that requires me to be away for several days, I can't just sit here the whole time.

"It seems so, it's about a request to exterminate goblins."

Did the receptionist mention goblins?

"Where do I sound familiar?"

It's that woman named Olivia.

It seems they were attacked by goblins while escorting the princess.

It was clearly such a low-level monster.

If even this can't protect the princess, then it's really useless.

Could you tell me the specifics?

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The receptionist flipped through the order form.

Because there haven't been many cases being handled during this period.

So, they quickly found Leon's share.

"Give!"

"Thanks!"

Leah looked at the contents of the commission form.

[S-Rank: Slay the Goblin Horde, Rescue Princess Bellshi and Lilimarta. Requirements: At least an A-rank party or capable temporary adventurers. No limit on the number of members. Reward: One gold coin]

"It is indeed a request about goblins."

"Wait! This is...!"

She couldn't believe her eyes, and could only feel tears dripping onto the authorization form.

Are you alright?

Seeing Leah suddenly burst into tears, the receptionist was at a loss.

"Sorry, I'm fine. Here, take this back."

After quickly calming her negative emotions, Leah handed the service form to the receptionist.

"Um……"

She walked out of the guild with heavy steps.

"Leon, what a surprising kid."

"However, it's very reliable."

...

We arrived at the place where we rented the carriage.

Lia wanted to go to the location of the commission, even though she knew she couldn't be of much help.

but.

She still wanted to see Leon and Marta.

...

Upon arriving at the location entrusted to us, we found many horse-drawn carriages parked there.

"Just exterminating goblins, does it really need such a big fuss?"

After she jumped off the carriage, a strong smell of blood filled the air.

There were still many bloodstains on the ground, which looked black.

"Is this the place where Olivia had her accident?"

Leah didn't think much of it.

It starts when Leon saves Olivia.

I always felt that Leon liked to stare at her.

Even though her breasts are quite large.

Has it started to leave a bad impression?

Yeah, with that kind of attitude, everyone would stay away from me.

The aroma wafted over from the hillside.

Although I don't know what happened.

but.

That's generally how it's done in a campaign of conquest.

...

"This...this is!"

After arriving at the hillside.

What came into view was a ground littered with corpses.

Besides the goblin corpses, there were thousands of human corpses.

"Leon!"

Leah practically charged into the pile of corpses, though she wasn't sure if Leon's body was among them.

But deep down, she had a bad feeling.

"A large goblin?"

Surprisingly, there are even mutated goblins.

This was the first time Lia had ever seen this type of goblin; she had heard they were very powerful in combat.

Looking at the giant goblin's corpse, she became even more worried about Leon.

Why am I so nervous about him?

He's just a lecherous brat.

...

"No... Lilith... Olivia too."

Leah breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Leon's body had not been found.

"..."

Are there three caves in the distance?

It looks like a goblin's lair.

The mission is to rescue the princess and Marta.

In that case...

maybe……

Leon and his men have already entered the lair.

"Is the commission complete?"

With this in mind, Lia arrived at the cave entrance.

"The middle one?"

For some reason, she could sense that Leon was inside the cave.

"Um……?"

A huge stone pillar?

"Wow……"

There's such a big space inside!

"Is it really a goblin lair? It looks more like a human palace."

What's on the ground?

"That is..."

Leon's upper body was visible, while the other half was not far from him.

besides……

Lilith, her flesh mangled and bloody from being stabbed?

On the stone pillar is...

It was pinned to the surface by something that looked like a bone spear...

That's the woman named Olivia.

Leah collapsed to the ground, staring at the tragic scene.

I don't know how to describe how I feel right now.

"Leon...!"

She had no idea what was happening here.

All I know is that I can't accept Leon's death.

"Huh... Are you all alone?"

Suddenly, voices sounded behind me.

Who is it?

Pfft...

Leah couldn't see who it was.

Judging from the voice, it could be identified as a teenager.

but.

Something resembling a bone spear had pierced through Leah's entire head.

She fell heavily to the ground, blood pooling everywhere...

The bone spear was stuck straight into the ground, and there was something on top of it.

It was Leah's...

head...
