thousand eyes
“Push!”
“right!”
Hyeon-jun moved from behind the men pushed away by the soldiers, stabbing them in the back and breaking their skulls, before escaping through the gap the soldiers had opened.
Devan looked at Hyeon-jun for a moment at that splendid and quick movement, but it was only for a moment.
Hyeonjun killed the Tantares gnolls on the left, but the right one is still spearing. The center has nothing to do thanks to Bahanus. Still, there was no one who didn’t know that they were doing their part just by guarding Bahanus’ side.
“In place!”
“under!”
The formation was restored and settled down as firmly as the first time. Hyeonjun also returned behind Bahanus and stood still and waited.
“The big one is coming.”
As Kurman said, Dvan finally drew his sword and stepped out. The soldiers made a gap for him, and Dvan lowered his stance and prepared. The mana he hadn’t felt before began to pulsate violently.
‘Magic! It’s something that was given to the armor!’
“Priest, follow me.”
“yes.”
At Dvan’s words, Bahanus left the formation and stood behind him. When Hyeon-jun followed and stood behind Devan, the huge one broke the top of the cave entrance with his big hand and jumped out at once.
It is the play of the abnormally gigantic Tantares, whose height is well over 3m and the shoulder width alone is close to 1m. The eyes are tightly packed all over the body, and it turns around and scans the surroundings.
Devan didn’t hesitate in spite of the terrible appearance and started to run. Magic circulated and forced the armor to move, and complex movements occurred simultaneously as if they were exploding. Dvan stopped and was already running at top speed the moment it moved. Bahanus followed him, wrapped in divine power, and shot out with tremendous power. Hyeon-jun also started running at the same time, but Hyeon-jun, who did not have the power of transcendence yet, couldn’t show a movement that seemed to deviate from such physical laws, so he fell a little behind.
“hmm!”
Furbuck!
‘This crazy!’
Devan came out first and collided with the Gnolls of Tantares who were blocking the way. Hyeon-joon, who witnessed Devan digging in without slowing down, using his sword, fists, elbows, shoulders, and even knees to knock them down in one fell swoop, shouted to himself. Literally, the whole body is a weapon. This is the first moment to see the true value of a knight supported by enchanted armor. The sparring with Anton was nothing!
Adding the weight of the armor, it was like a heavy chariot, but like a storm, Tantares’ knolls, which were pushed aside by Dvan, rolled across the floor like bowling pins. Of course, most of them are alive because Devan didn’t swing his sword with the intention of killing them, but it was a feat that could be said to be incomparable. Bahanus kept his back strong as he ran along the road made by Devan, and Hyeon-jun was unable to follow. I thought I would definitely collide with them and slow down, but my speed didn’t decrease at all!
‘Damn it, I can’t see it very well!’
I had to catch up behind him and watch Devan’s movements, but the distance widened. Bahanus’ movements would be of great help, but since he uses a spear and shield, he’s probably worse than Devan. If only I could steal a knight’s sword like that!
“Brother!”
“Hut!”
Surprised by Bahanus’ words, Hyeon-jun cut down the man who ran from the side and stopped. There is nothing left between Dvan and the giant, and Bahanus and Hyeon-Jun must defend their positions and stop the attackers.
‘sh*t!’
Hyeon-jun cut off Tantares’ knolls in line with Bahanus’ movements and split his head. I have to watch Devan’s movements, but these bastards keep interfering. It must be killed as quickly as possible.
Hyunjoon’s eyes went dark.
The impatience in Hyun-jun’s movements disappeared, and soft yet sharp, powerful yet sophisticated movements that made full use of the strengths of his flexible body poured out. It was a dramatic and terrifying change that surprised even Bahanus, who had killed three animals in the blink of an eye with his mighty strength and transcendent skills.
Hyeon-Jun thrust his sword into Tantares’ Nol’s neck, then pulled it out in a circle and cut off the other guy’s jaw.
Then, stepping back and cutting off the other guy’s front leg, bouncing his body elastically and swinging his sword in the opposite direction, slashing his chest with his sword pole and kicking it away. I used the recoil to throw my body backwards and cut the face of the guy who rushed at me.
Hyeon-jun spewed blood and death gracefully as if he were dancing, without hesitation doing crazy things tabooed in swordsmanship, such as spinning and jumping. The speed with which Hyeon-joon killed Tantares’ Nol was comparable to Bahanus, the combat priest, and so many of them who came out died in an instant and fell out. Hyeonjun, who had killed the last one, glanced back at Dvan.
“Crukreuk… .”
Devan cut off his leg and cut off the head of the fallen man, and retreated to avoid the man’s flinching arm. The fight between Duvan had already ended.
‘sh*t!’
I went to the cinema to see the next film I’ve been waiting for for three years, but I fell asleep while watching the commercial before it started, and when I woke up, it was as if the ending credits were rolling. A fire burns in the heart. In addition, you can buy a ticket and watch the movie again, but you may not be able to see Devan’s swordsmanship again even if you pour money into it.
“One more is coming.”
‘yes!’
At Kurman’s words, Hyeon-joon sang with delight.
“Step back.”
‘what?’
At Kurman’s words, Dvan and Bahanus retreated. Hyeon-joon had no choice but to step back. And the moment the new giant jumped out of the den, a mass of mana that was tightly packed to the point that Kurman felt solid was shot out like an arrow.
pop!
“Kyaaa!”
A fireball the size of a human head exploded on the head of the guy who had just come out of the cave, and a huge flame burst out. Unlike before, mana remained and stuck to his face, so no matter how much he wiped his face with his hands and rolled on the floor, it didn’t go away at all. It is to maintain the fire continuously by using mana as fuel.
Soon the whole head and lungs were burned, and Kurman said calmly.
“You may go in now.”
‘Damn it!’
It’s good to see magic, but Devan’s swordsmanship is more important! Still, if you rush into the cave, the battle will repeat again, and you will be able to see Dvan’s swordsmanship!
“Dane, keep your place so that no one enters the burrow.”
“yes!”
A soldier answered Dvan’s words. It is the one who stamped his feet when leaving the village.
“Jun, you stand behind me. Lord Kurman, stand behind him, and Priest Bahanus, please guard the rear.”
“yes.”
Hyunjoon secretly smiled. This is the best position to see Devan’s swordsmanship. Of course, the best special seat is to see it from the front, but in that case, you can only see it in a situation where Devan is trying to kill Hyeon-jun.
“for a moment… .”
After Kurman said that, he spewed mana again. It is in the form of a small dome that surrounds them. The acrid smoke from the smoke at the entrance receded and fresh air enveloped them. Then, in an instant, a tremendous wind blew out the fire burning in front of the entrance. It’s really great versatility.
“It’s done.”
Devan nodded at Kurman’s words and turned the belt to bring the scabbard to the front, then tied a string to secure it so it wouldn’t interfere with movement. Then, with unstoppable steps, he jumped into the burrow. Others followed him and jumped into the cave, and the remaining soldiers doubled the entrance and began to guard both the inside and outside of the cave.
The inside of the cave had a low ceiling and was winding. It seems to be a space created by the Knolls to mine iron ore.
There was a little room on both sides, but the ceiling was so low that I had to keep bending over. Considering the average height of people in this world, it’s a bit low, but unfortunately, the people here now are knights and wizards, combat priests and modern people. All of them were from good families or were well-fed and maintained their health with special powers, so they were so tall that they often had to bend their backs against the f*cking ceiling. At least Kurman was the shortest, so he could walk a little more comfortably than the others.
‘The sword’s sheath is also enchanted.’
When he entered the cave and stroked the scabbard, a bright light came out from the scabbard and illuminated the front. Kurman, who was standing behind Hyeon-jun, also took out a stick from his bosom and lifted it high, and a light burst out and illuminated all directions. It looks like a magic tool, but it seems to be difficult to use multiple magics at once or to save mana.
“How long do I have to go inside?”
“It will take quite a while. The road is complicated. Oh, left there.”
Kurman calmly guided the way through the complicated cave he had never been to, as if he were guiding him to his own house. A sword is enough to kill an enemy, but Hyeon-jun struggled to master the movement of mana, feeling that he could not dare to follow magic in terms of this utility.
“Come again. You seem to be in a hurry.”
Kurman said with a smile. In such a cramped space, they have to fight the Nolls of Tantares, but they are overflowing because they can’t afford it. Did he go crazy while studying magic and lose his ordinary sensibility? But it turned out that there was a reason. It was because the gnolls of Tantares that appeared in front of them were more troublesome than the ones I saw this morning.
Beyond the level of being simply deformed, there are some people who are so messed up that they don’t even know how they are alive. Some are crawling on the floor, missing the entire lower half of their body, dragging their internal organs as if they were made.
It was to the extent that Dvan, who was in the lead, could quickly kill them by walking at a constant speed without gaining momentum.
‘sh*t! Make him a little stronger!’
Hyeon-joon gritted his teeth, thinking like an idiot crazy for swordsmanship. I took the chance, but if I couldn’t see Devan’s swordsmanship, I would really go crazy.
While killing deformities like that, Kurman suddenly let out a quiet voice.
“Um… ”
“Why is that?”
Bahanus, who was walking behind him, asked Kurman, who suddenly stopped.
Kurman closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them. Hyeonjun felt the movement of his mana and realized he had discovered something unusual.
“I found Tantares, but there is a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I am building something. Even the mother body is nipping for it. He also has a number of victories. We must go quickly.”
Devan didn’t answer and sped up. Hyeonjun and Bahanus also sped up, but Kurman was not a strong fighter like them, so he had to slow down. In the end, Bahanus ran with Kurman on his side. Because the ceiling was low, I couldn’t carry it on my back.
Kurman laughed at holding him in his arms like a princess, but he firmly refused and had no choice but to carry it like a burden.
“All, um, left, black.”
Kurman’s belly was pressed by the running Bahanus’ arm, and at the words he spat out with difficulty, Dvan swerved in a low stance and ran out. The ceiling was so low that I had to keep bending over, so I just lowered my posture.
As a result, Kurman was doing core exercises to avoid dragging his feet on the floor. It was too harsh for him as a wizard. So, do some exercise… .
“stop!”
As he ran away, Kurman shouted with all his might. No one in the party was inexperienced, so the moment they heard that, they just stopped like a lie. When Bahanus lowered Kurman down, he knelt down on the floor and gasped.
“The bar, right in front, is. Wide, space comes out, uh, go in, right, right, kill.”
Bahanus almost lifted him up, and the party picked up speed again and started running. And, as Kurman said, we entered a large space.
It is unknown for what purpose this space was created, but flesh and film spread and pulsate throughout this large space, as if entering the stomach of a living being.
When the goddamn ceiling suddenly rose, Dvan straightened up and ran straight to the right, just as Kurman had said. Then, activating the magic of the armor, he charged at the huge mass of flesh attached to the wall.
“Suck!”
Mana spurted out of the armor and Devan ran at a mad speed. With magic-enhanced power, Devan stepped up on a piece of flesh that was well over 2m tall and thrust his sword into it.
Flames erupted from his entrenched sword and began to burn the inside of the fleshy mass. Devan jumped down with his sword on top of the flesh, splitting the flesh in two. The flames from his sword burned the wounds and acrid smoke rose.
chin!
As soon as Devan landed on the floor, he backed away without hesitation.
“You are late.”
“Krrr…”
Two gigantic hands burst out from the inside that Dvan had cut open and burned, grabbing a chunk of flesh and spreading it wide apart. The huge thing that appeared from within the fleshy mass landed on the floor, and the cavern roared loudly. As soon as it came out, the flesh and film that had spread throughout the space stopped moving and began to shrink rapidly.
Even Dvan, the knight, and Bahanus, the combat priest, couldn’t help but distort their faces at the sight of the creature.
“Disgusting.”
