Transmigrated to Become the Hero's Aid

Chapter 5: Let's not start a prologue with Tragedy (1)

'If you are going to make me remember......'

Lucas thought. He was still being carried by Maria and now they were in a small path between two house. They couldn't return to the mansion, too because all the roads in the city were packed with various monsters. Leo and Edwin tried to pushed them into a corner to make way but the numbers were just too much so they could just create a path to run away and hide for now. It seemed like the entire army of monsters charged into this city. 

'Why couldn't I remember it sooner!......' He screamed in his head.

"Why the heck are there this much of monsters!? May be a demon lord went insane and dispatch an army?" Edwin murmured while taking a deep breath.

Leo and Maria were also thinking the same thing. They knew that there were a lot of cases like monsters moving or attacking in groups but there were not this many. Now, there was not only one group of monsters but a variety. It was what was called a Dark Wave but it was not something you could see easily. It only happen where there were something that anger them so much or some one from above, like a demon lord order them to.

"I also don't know..... I mean... we haven't attack any monster base since a long time ago...." Maria replied with a heavy voice. Her eyes were fixed to the entrance of this little path, worrying that they might be found. Of course, the three of them could easily take care of a pack of high level monsters, orcs, goblins, ogres, etc... But the numbers were a headache. You could normally see this kind of number only in a war.

"And why would a demon lord attack us?"

A lot of unbelievable eyes fell on Leo.

"Ok..." He grinned. "A demon lord could attack us but why choose us? We are really near to the capital... He would lose in a time..." The capital which was the main base of this kingdom army, and a place of holy churches. Evandall territory was the neighbour of it. It was also the neighbour of Ariasta Territory, where a large number of high mages gather. So when the reinforcements came, it was game over. 

'Because, the one who is going to beat their a** off is here.' Lucas made a deep sigh. 

An Isekai novel that Lucas had read a long time ago before he was transmigrated, 'Way Back Home' had a prologue where Ryosuke, the main protagonist, got summoned in this world and he was dropped here. In the demon's side, there was a demon who could foresee the future once in every 100th year. He saw a powerful human arriving to this world and told the demon lord to kill this human.

Unfortunately, the story never goes the way that antagonist want. So it was natural that Ryosuke was rescued. The one who rescued him was Maria but she died in the process.

'I can't let Maria die......'

Lucas couldn't let his beloved sister, who could also be regarded as his mother, die.

'The hero can't die, either......'

If hero died at the beginning of the story, who would take care of the mess that the story would bring later?

"Hey guys, I think they are looking for something?" Maria asked with a wary tone.

When she looked closely, she could notice that the monsters were not focused on killing people senselessly. Apart from the monsters attacking with guards, the others seemed to be looking for something.

So what were they looking for?

'I hate it when my big sis is so fast at catching things....' A pained expression could be seen on Lucas. 

Edwin was also surprised and so was Leo. It was just like Maria said. The monsters were fixed on something instead of killing. 

No... They were killing.
