I created a sword in the hope of defeating them all, I thought so five minutes ago before being overwhelmed against them. Never mind finishing everything, even defeating one is still difficult because of the heavy armor I wear.
"Artex, help me a moment!" I shouted for help. But when I looked up at Artex, he was bleeding all over.
I quickly made a barrier against my enemy and walked up to Artex, "Hey, what's wrong with you!?"
"Don't mind me, just focus on them." Stirring.
"Shut up for a second, let me close that wound!" I protected ourselves with a circular iron wall. After that I bandaged the wounds from his arms, legs, and body with bandages.
"Stt—" shepherded.
"Don't you have any painkillers? Why don't you drink it?" much
"The medicine is long gone and I haven't had time to buy it again." The answer.
Instantly I recalled the last incident when I took the medicine from him. "Ah shit, it must be my fault! I took your last medicine."
"Not to think about. After all, the cure will be exhausted even before this battle takes place." Now he tried to stand up but fell down.
Seeing him so, it made me feel anxious. "I think you better take a break. Come to think of it again you've been fighting too long."
"Don't worry about me, I just lack a little blood. Why are you so attentive this time anyway? Did you forget I have super regeneration abilities?"
"That's not the problem! Your body can heal but not your stamina. I know you're so exhausted and it's entirely my fault for leaving you to fight alone!"
"Just relax, I always train my body to have good stamina. Even until now I've only lost half of it."
I know Artex's words sound promising. But brain function should also be more concerned for the sake of body balance. "Oh yes, we also know that we are both stubborn people. Whatever form of warning we are given always reject it. Then let's end this war."
"You finally understand, too,"
I thrust a new sword at him. When he was about to hold it, he coughed for a moment and covered his mouth with his hand. What I saw was not a trick, but real blood coming out of his mouth.
"I think you'd better get some rest." My speech.
"No, I'll keep fighting." I think this is too much stubbornness.
"Have not continued to force, why do we have to fight!?"
"You may not have heard it, but when I confronted the leader, I heard a remark that flashed so quickly in my mind."
"What did you hear?"
"That all the demon armies that we have or will fight are the messengers of the demon lord that we are currently courting. I heard that one of them also has someone with extreme healing abilities.
Although his ability does sound absurd, but if it relates his words to the current state I am in, it is certain that he is the cause of my curse."
I was immediately stunned after hearing an explanation from him. "So you mean, we've been close to our goal?"
"Not exactly true but that's not what I meant." Answer Artex. "After defeating the leader we will extract as much information from him as possible. All the ways we're gonna do are inhumane."
"Alright then, let's end this as soon as possible—" so we end up fighting back against his subordinates before facing off against their leader.
This time I will be serious enough to eradicate them using super sharp katana. So did Artex who asked me to make him six equally sharp daggers.
With precision Artex threw his knife towards the head and then took the spare knife that he put on his waist. He ran and pounced on all the heads he saw.
So focused on concentrating, Artex forgot that he was experiencing a decrease in stamina which resulted in him vomiting blood.
Immediately my focus was disturbed and immediately approached Artex who was being stabbed in the back. "Surge you!" I shouted and slashed their heads.
Without a second thought I immediately reabsorbed my katana and carried the Artex to carry it outside the battlefield. "This time you don't argue anymore!" hysterical kataku. "I thought you must be tired of all this, and the cause was my fault."
Artex answered nothing but his coughing voice. "Don't be too taken heart, I was warned before by the person who helped us and I refused. So this is purely my fault."
"Don't talk too much! You've lost a lot of blood this time—"
"Alright, alright. This time I give up and just obey you..."
"Damn it, too many are blocking the way out." I tried to avoid the fight, but in front of me there was not a single gap I could use. I kept breaking through the relief forces. But it was also difficult to do because each of them was fighting the enemy. I finally hit someone and made me fall.
In front of me was a demon who was ready to swing his sword at me. I quickly created a shield and held it with my left hand. Then I avenged his attack by stabbing him in the head.
Now I turn my head towards Artex. Unexpectedly the unexpected thing happened, he who was lying stabbed many times even to bleed a lot.
One of the relief soldiers slashed the demon that tortured Artex and then he left.
I hurried to Artex. "Hey, hey! Did you hear my voice!? Artex, answer me!" this time I felt a deep pain. In front of my eyes lay someone who was close to me but now he was covered in blood. Pain, sadness, and fear mixed in my heart.
"What am I supposed to do!? Is there no way to save you!? Someone, help us, someone's hurt here!" I know it's all for nothing because this is a battleground— where the wounded will not be ignored.
I cried because of the helplessness I had. I regret leaving him in danger. And I'm sorry for all the decisions I've made until he's experienced this.

Time was so slow, the war continued and never stopped. The pain of losing a close friend made me feel helpless, until I finally resigned myself.
~#*!+?
A stark look appeared in my head. It looks like watching broken television. Slowly my head began to feel sore and dizzy. I tried to survive but finally—
"I don't think the effect will be that terrible." Speak to someone who is out of nowhere the source of his voice.
"I'd better be careful when I'm going to trade with him." For the first time I borrowed this child's body, I was immediately treated to an unpleasant sight. "Uh, is this guy your friend? Why is he like this?" I tried to observe him and I assumed he was stabbed repeatedly.
I tried to think clearly and realized my eyes were sore. Maybe because he was so sorry for the death of his friend? Without a second thought I made a chest for him to protect his body. I saw the atmosphere around me and didn't think I was in the middle of a war.
"I'd better get close to the leader" I thought, "There's no way this many troops aren't commanded by someone."
Once in the air thanks to the high ground that I created, I immediately looked for the figure of the leader But despite having searched for it for a few minutes I never found a figure with a different appearance.
Then I was surprised by the passionate soldiers who shot at me with their arrows. I was confused whether the owner of this body was a fugitive or what. But almost all of his attacks did not lead to me.
After turning around, it turned out that there was someone who was floating in the air while holding a bow in his hand. His striking appearance with the wings on his right proved that he was the leader.
"Finally I met also—" now I put a diamond sword in my hand and prepared to hit him.
