147 – Immediate Strike (3)
I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the shocking sight.
Does this mean that what you are seeing now is not a dream but reality?
As Diesel said, it’s like being immortal.
I bit my lip as the group of masks returned to their original form.
But the group of masks that stood up again did not move.
“Hey, can you answer quickly?”
“… ….”
Is it leisure, or is it confidence that you won’t miss me?
It seemed like he was waiting for me to answer.
Although it was hidden behind a mask, Diesel had a glimmer of madness in his eyes.
‘Then let’s think about it.’
Diesel boasted that it was immortal, but is it really immortal?
Maybe she has a secret and is pretending to come back to life.
And the secret probably lies with Diesel, the commander.
Then, if you just kill Diesel, it will all be over.
“Come on, let’s hold hands quickly.”
I have no intention of holding hands.
But you don’t have to answer and pretend to be worried.
This is because we are now measuring the distance between ourselves and Diesel.
The distance from where I am currently standing to the diesel is only 10m.
If you run at full speed, you can somehow reach the distance.
‘Can we really succeed?’
My back is damp with cold sweat, and my heart is pounding with anxiety.
A one-time opportunity.
If you miss that opportunity, you cannot be sure what will happen next.
So, I closed my eyes and remembered Master’s words.
-You can do it. So cheer up.
‘Okay. ‘Master.’
When I remembered the teacher’s words, the anxiety that had been constricting my body disappeared,
My trembling hands became calm again.
And when I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t even afraid of Diesel’s appearance, which had seemed scary.
“Hoo, have you finally decided?”
“Yes….”
“Then…” .”
Crack!
When the sound of footsteps rang,
It was already right in front of Diesel.
Diesel’s eyes, which had not yet recognized himself, slowly began to widen.
1 Sum.
Diesel’s head was blown off and his head began to rise into the air.
2 Sum.
The body was cut in half along with the head that had not yet fallen with the angled sword.
3, 4, 5 Sum.
I even blew off my limbs in preparation for a counterattack.
All of this happened in just about 10 seconds.
It was not a special swordsmanship or a secret weapon.
Just a basic technique that utilizes physical abilities to the maximum.
It was nothing less, nothing more.
“Ha… , ha….”
My body began to tremble due to the sudden fatigue.
Although it was only the basics, it was proof that the body had reached its limit.
I was out of breath, and my whole body was covered in sweat.
It looked like he was going to collapse at any moment, but he held on by holding on with his sword.
Although I wasted a lot of my stamina, I still succeeded in defeating Diesel.
I tremble at the thought of killing someone, but
I smiled with relief at the thought that I had survived.
Until I heard Diesel’s voice.
“Is this really your answer?”
“He’s not dead?”
The chunks of meat that were diesel rose into the air,
Soon, they merged in the air and returned to their original form.
Clothes, mask, everything became fine again, as if it had returned to how it was before the cut.
Unable to continue speaking due to the unrealistic sight, a sob-like laugh came out of Diesel’s mouth.
“Did you think they ended up just killing me? “Your thinking is really shallow.”
“Big!”
Cheeng!
It is heavy.
My arm is shaking from a heavy blow that I don’t think was from a machete.
In comparison, diesel had plenty of room to spare.
If you continue like this, you will be punished.
Following the warning of my instincts, I blew away Diesel’s attack and immediately widened the distance.
“It’s really unfortunate. “If it were you, you would have become a good follower of ‘Idol’.”
“I’m not sad, am I?”
“But it’s okay. “The invitation failed, but your idol chose you.”
I can’t communicate.
Although it seemed like something was being said, Diesel ended up only talking about himself.
I want to close that mouth right now, but now is the time to regain some of my stamina.
“Well, I can sympathize. “I also refused at first.”
So, I was alert to my surroundings and pretended to listen to the story in order to buy some time.
“Who would readily accept a sudden visit and pressure to believe?”
“That….”
“But! “I realized!”
Exaggerated movements reminiscent of a musical.
Diesel suddenly raised his arms to the sky and slowly smoothed his face.
Then the bizarre mask became even more bizarre and turned into a disgusting sight.
“I was foolish. “I should have worshiped my idol sooner, but I ended up rejecting it out of mere fear.”
Clatter rattle rattle rattle
At that moment, you can feel the popularity around you. It was enemy reinforcements.
Another group of masks appeared between the trees.
At first glance, it seemed like the number was 10 times greater than the number they had just faced.
“You must be afraid now. But don’t worry. “We will soon be attending Idol with us.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t happen.”
I’m still breathing hard, but I’ve recovered sufficiently.
It was difficult to deal with an unknown entity.
Now that reinforcements have arrived, there is no sign of victory.
It would be better to run away from here and ask for help….
“Did you think you could run away?”
‘Magic!?’
In the blink of an eye, I was surrounded by a wall made of ice and rock.
With this, the escape route is blocked and you cannot escape.
As if knowing that, Diesel smiled, distorting her face along with her mask.
“Did you let your guard down? First, put in the weak ones to catch them off guard, and then add in the strong ones to deal with them. Isn’t it basic common sense? “You don’t even know that common sense?”
“… ….”
“Wow, I guess you’ve hit the nail on the head. “You don’t look good.”
Ignoring Diesel’s sneer, she raised her sword.
Although the four sides are blocked by walls, the stomach is still there.
You can definitely escape if you quickly climb up the wall, but
Diesel will not leave it alone.
But since there is no other way out, it is worth a try.
“Are you still planning to resist?”
“Of course!”
He rushed towards Diesel and held his sword….
“Ohh.”
Pretending to swing, he climbed up the wall behind Diesel and jumped over the wall in one go.
Now all you have to do is run away to where the teacher is.
The moment I thought about that and was about to run.
Pushuuk!
“Ugh!”
An arrow flew from somewhere and hit my leg.
When I turned my head, I made eye contact with the masked woman who was aiming her bow in this direction.
From Noble mtl dot com
Well, there is a wizard, but there is no archer.
“Ugh!”
I was embarrassed for a moment, but I pulled out the arrow stuck in my leg and started running again.
***
“hehehehe, are you running away?”
Diesel let out an unpleasant laugh as he looked at Cecilia running away.
I was definitely trying to catch Cecilia, but
Diesel didn’t even show any signs of chasing Cecilia.
In fact, I even feel relaxed.
“Okay, then….”
Diesel slowly raised one hand and gave a command to the group of masks.
“From now on, let’s go see off Cecilia, who will become Idol’s new follower.”
***
“Ha! Ha!”
Was the arrow coated with paralyzing poison?
Not only is it painful every time your leg touches the ground,
I felt that my body was becoming increasingly sluggish.
My heart was pounding as if whispering in my ear, telling me to get some rest now.
But I couldn’t because it was obvious that I would get caught if I stopped here.
In fact, I spurred my legs even further.
‘But how much did I run?’
Is it because I’m tired?
Now even my sense of time seemed to be broken.
I think she ran a long way, but she still wasn’t out of the woods.
How long do I have to run to get out of this forest?
I had doubts and ran with great difficulty, but in the end, my legs reached their limit and got caught in the roots of a tree.
“Ugh!”
She let out a rough breath, feeling the rough ground with her face.
Luckily, my leg didn’t seem to be broken, and I didn’t feel any pain.
In fact, my face being swept on the floor hurt more.
“Ha… , ha….”
My exhausted body screamed at the slightest movement.
But she couldn’t stop here, so she struggled to stand up with her trembling arms.
I turned around, but I couldn’t see Diesel or any of the other masks even with their noses removed.
Feeling a little relieved, I took my steps towards the outside of the forest again.
Ringle
‘What is this sound?’
As I was walking aimlessly, I heard a clear sound of bells coming from somewhere.
Did Diesel come after me?
When she suddenly felt like she was popular, she turned her head and there she was.
‘What is that?’
The identity is unknown.
I don’t know about all magical beasts, but I did know this one.
That is not a demon.
A deformed being whose entire body is covered with grass instead of fur.
Long horns growing on both sides of what is presumed to be the head.
And even the familiar mask that grows like a fruit.
‘Could it be, is that an idol?’
When I realized the identity of the monster, my instincts rang an alarm telling me to run.
You have to run away.
I moved my legs only with that thought.
If it is true that it is the idol that Diesel spoke of, there is no other way than to run away.
I ran away frantically, but I couldn’t feel anyone following me.
I wonder if he has any intention of following me.
With that thought in mind, let’s look back.
Ringle
When I turned my head to the sound of the bell again,
There, at the same distance as before, there was an idol watching me.
Something is wrong.
Thinking like that, I ran away again.
However.
Ringle
The sound of bells did not stop, and the idol continued to follow me.
It’s as if you can’t run away from me,
It seemed like he was persuading me to give up now.
As a result of running away and running again….
“You’re finally back. “Are you finished playing?”
I returned to the place where I first fought Diesel.
