Episode 143. trap (4)
After the castle wall collapsed, three young kingdom knights stood in the way.
All of them were people who had crossed the realm, and even one had such great energy that I wondered why I hadn’t even heard of it until now.
‘Roan Karziel.’
He gave off a thick bloody smell.
Looking at that level, it was clear that he was a knight who had not only caught monsters and monsters, but probably also had murder experience.
At this point, I realized one thing.
‘Is it like that?’
Aside from why such a man became a knight, he was probably the one who planned this crazy operation.
Furthermore, the strategy of aiming for siege weapons, which would be difficult to think of even if there were many lives, must have come from that head.
I was sure there would be no two commanders who could conceive of and carry out such a crazy operation.
the guy No, they were strong.
But strength is relative.
‘The new chicks who have just crossed the border, dare?’
against the powerful of the times.
Against the corps commander, the status of a master is nothing more than standing at the starting line.
Maybe it was because they were young knights, but they didn’t know that there was a sky above the sky.
Whoa!!
I felt that way when I saw the opponent receiving the first attack from the front.
‘You blocked this?’
Of course, stopping it was surprising.
It was a great strength for a human, and even though it attacked suddenly, the reaction was quick.
‘… I can see the reason for his confidence.’
But that was all there was to that impression.
His astounding physical abilities were normal when compared to humans, compared to orcs.
At best, it would be an elite warrior.
‘You’re stupid, human!’
If I had practiced for a few more years, the situation would have been different.
He swung his axe with ridicule at the hasty risk of his life.
Caang… !
But the attack was blocked again.
And what was different from before was that it was not blocked from the front, but was shed.
As a way to push the opponent’s ax side with the tip of the sword.
‘her.’
It was an amazing sword skill and reaction speed, but until this point, I didn’t think it was a problem.
It’s just a way to consume a lot of concentration. The shock that could not be shed would continue to accumulate, so it would be impossible to stop it forever.
I thought so.
However, something was different.
Caang… !
‘hmm?’
The opponent is getting more and more proficient.
I know it doesn’t make sense, but to the point where I thought maybe he was growing rapidly in this short moment.
‘… … .’
‘… !’
Plus, when his unfocused eyes scan this way, it feels like a snake is looking straight ahead.
It feels like you are reading inside.
This gave a great sense of displeasure and uncomfortable feelings that I don’t know what it is.
And this discomfort reached its peak when the cheek was cut obliquely.
fit… !
Dark red blood splattered in front of my eyes.
‘Was it cut?’
It wasn’t a deep cut, but it was true that he allowed an unexpected attack.
Besides, there was something strange about the process.
It was Ian and an unknown female knight who launched the attack, but it was the knight in front of him who created the opportunity.
‘just now… .’
If it’s not a misunderstanding, he moved first before he could move this way.
as if expected.
‘No, this is impossible.’
nonsense. You predict my attack just by dividing a few sums, right?
It must have been a coincidence.
Either he or she was already pessimistic about the situation and the attack that was thrown in the way that it was going to be done was right.
Whatever it was, it was clear that the opponent was desperately in an unfavorable situation.
At that time, the other person who was looking at me suddenly muttered something incomprehensible.
“Dozens of times.”
“what?”
“Your raid experience.”
Then he lowered his stance again to prepare for the attack from this side.
‘Raid?’
It was a word with no meaning.
But it was oddly unpleasant.
It was all the more so because it overlapped with that strange gaze with red light at first glance.
‘What are you looking at?’
His eyes were looking this way, but it didn’t seem like I was reflected in them.
It’s like looking over here.
“… … .”
I was lost in thought for a while.
However, the opponent who suddenly rushed in first quickly escaped from his thoughts.
“… under.”
ridicule flowed out
It was laughable to attack without even knowing the subject of a successful counterattack.
It was cut slightly, but it was a wound.
Considering the fearsome resilience, the level of wounds is almost non-existent.
Conversely, the opponent’s life would be in danger even if he was attacked just once, so the advantage in battle remained unchanged.
Besides, this is not the end.
let out a roar
“Kwoaaa!!”
“… … !”
Magi exploded in all directions along with a cry with a heavy echo.
With the exercise of the authority, the strengthening effect of the body soared and the muscles twitched.
“-If dying is your wish, I will grant it!”
If you let go of the attack, you just have to swing it harder so that you don’t even dare to let it go.
Unlike the opponent, who had already revealed his bottom line and struggled, he was finally using his powers here.
Sweet Love!!
An ax that rips through the air. The opponent did not spill.
It seems that he realized that it was an attack that he should not touch instinctively.
He hurriedly hardened his expression and distanced himself.
Kwak bang!!!!
The ax hit the ground.
In the aftermath, the ground trembled and dust rose as if it had been an earthquake.
“Whoa… .”
He let out a hot breath.
Margie continued to warm up her body.
If it was a human, it would have been a strengthening effect to the extent that overload would come, but the strong body of an orc endured it enough.
‘It’s been a while.’
After withdrawing from the empire, he felt a surge of excitement at the first exercise of power.
Right after that, the instincts of the fighting race nestled in each cell were awakened.
Thanks to that, I forgot about the discomfort I felt at first.
“… … .”
gulp.
swallow dry saliva
I said to the opponent looking down at the ground split in the shape of a spider web.
“You will have to pay the price for daring to injure yourself.”
of course.
The price can only be repaid with the death of the person himself.
* * *
northern frontline. in the dark forest.
Chew!
“Whoa, whoa… .”
Dark red blood splattered on his face.
Sigrun kicked the ground without even having time to wipe it off.
Papak! Pak!
Then the arrows hit the spot where they were standing until just now. Even if the reaction was even a little slow, it would have been really dangerous.
when you let out a sigh of relief.
fit… !
He sighed and frowned at the sudden, burning pain.
“Whoa… . Ugh!?”
When I looked down in surprise, red blood was oozing from my forearm.
The root of the problem was that he missed an arrow in the moment when his tension was relaxed.
Even if it didn’t get stuck, the dark elves’ arrows are basically poisoned, so I should have been careful… .
Black veins stood out around the wound and pain rose.
In addition, the sensation in his arms became faint and his eyes suddenly turned around.
Since he had already lost a lot of stamina after using seven ancient magic tools, the feeling of exhaustion increased.
‘ah.’
Something small and fast flies over the blurred landscape.
I know I have to dodge, but my body is too heavy to move.
‘this… !’
I hurriedly lowered my body to avoid it somehow.
It didn’t have to be.
Crisp!
Something small and fast appeared out of nowhere and blocked the arrow.
I was thinking about who it was, but he asked with an awkward honorific.
“Is it poison?”
“who… . Oh, Noah.”
Noah took a look at the complexion on this side and came over to help.
He waved his hand at the sight.
If you use mana to drive out the poison, you can still move alone.
Hwaaak!!
After quickly spinning mana to get rid of the miasma, I spoke to Noah.
“I am fine.”
“… … .”
“Better save your stamina.”
Several hours have already passed since the battle began.
Until now, I was able to break through the road ahead with a little overwork, but looking at my physical condition, that was not long.
Besides, if they reached Luna, their stamina would be depleted even faster.
so.
“Then you have to do it.”
This is because if I fall, only Noah will remain who is strong enough to act as the vanguard among the remaining members.
At that time, even if you handed over the escort role to another member, you had to stand in the vanguard.
“Can you?”
“… … .”
Noah with a somewhat displeased expression.
However, knowing that it was not wrong, he nodded and went back to the princess he had left behind.
“after.”
He took a short breath and regained his composure.
It’s really hard… .
Not long now.
“Keep moving!”
The left arm, which cannot be raised above the shoulder due to the poison, is passed behind the back.
Chew!!
Gathering the rest of his energy, he desperately pierced the path ahead.
Even in such a bad state, he caught dozens of more Dark Elves.
amazing fight.
Not only my allies, but even the Dark Elves stuck out their tongues at this.
The situation took a turn for the worst.
Sweet love!!!
“… !”
I reflexively applied the brakes to something dripping in front of my eyes.
From noble mtl dot com
Wood deok!
A strange sound emanated from his body, which had already been battered by the recoil, and a suppressed moan rose to the top of his throat.
I barely gave strength to my body, which was about to fall, to prevent it from falling over.
A sarcastic voice was heard.
“This is true. A noble high elf is out of shape.”
“… ?”
I raised my head with difficulty.
There was a dark elf with an enchanting atmosphere.
“ah.”
The moment I saw it, I felt something strong.
It was a frail opponent, but I could feel the huge chaos inside it with the same sense as an elf’s instinct.
‘Dark.’
Almost dozens of times Noah.
At that level, the commander of the corps must be clear.
“… Luna.”
“hmm?”
As expected, she widened her eyes.
Then, after a while, he asked with a frown on his beautiful eyes.
“… That’s right, wait. How do you know my name?”
“… … .”
There was no need to answer, so I was wary of the surroundings without answering.
Then, slowly backing away, I checked the condition of the members.
‘The numbers… .’
Surprisingly, about 70% of the original crew survived.
Of course, most of them were in bad condition, but somehow they survived.
I thought I would have died a lot because I was running only looking forward and not paying attention to the back, but it was a pleasant miscalculation.
I looked at the sky for a moment.
‘… not much left.’
after. catch your breath
I raised my sword with strength in my trembling arms.
Seeing that, Luna, who was contemplating where the information had been leaked, gave up her thoughts.
and said bluntly
“… Well, that could be done by grabbing you and asking.”
I could find composure in her expression, probably because she was confident that the situation was in her hands anyway.
but.
It was only for a moment.
The moment when Noah, who had maintained his physical strength up until now, took the place of me and took the lead.
Luna’s expression hardened.
“uh?”
Red eyes in black hair.
And contrasting transparent skin.
It is a characteristic of mixed blood that is too obvious to be unrecognized.
“… mixed race?”
Something seems to be stuck at this point.
Luna suddenly stopped and muttered, ‘No way, no way’.
“No way… .”
She was very close to the correct answer, but her common sense seemed to be refusing to accept it.
In a normal case, a mixed blood couldn’t be that powerful.
… In normal cases, that is.
Looking at Luna who was very confused, Noah quietly opened his mouth.
“That’s right, those orcs.”
“Yeah, what?”
and took.
told me the answer
“I killed him.”
