A smiling face in the dark
“Who sent it?”
Without answering Hyeon-jun’s words, the big guy who came out later rushed at him. And the little guy who came out first started turning behind Hyeonjun.
Hyeonjun rushed at him and swung his sword. The opponent held his sword high and placed it at the top, while Hyeonjun held it low and placed it at the bottom.
Soon, as they collided with each other, sword strikes poured in at the same time.
visor!
The opponent’s sword swung honestly with force, and Hyeon-jun blocked it with a raised slash, aimed at him with his sword, and stabbed it.
“Suck!”
The opponent didn’t fight back, lowered his body, dodged the sword, and stepped back.
Hyeon-jun did not pursue, but swung his sword in the middle, turning around behind him.
“A monster… !”
The little guy who was coming back muttered lowly as his sword got stuck.
Hyeonjun lowered his stance as if he were collapsing on the floor at the sign of digging in from behind again, and swung his body around to sweep his sword low.
Empty!
I hit the leg of the big guy who rushed from behind, but I couldn’t do any damage because it was blocked by the greave. However, it was possible to shake the balance, so the moment the offensive stopped, Hyeon-joon leaned to the side and jumped up and rushed at the besiegers.
“hmm!”
However, there was no choice but to stop as the thorns came out between the siege and the siege.
Hyeon-joon read Mana’s movements, twisted his body, turned to the side, stopped his jaw, and rushed towards the smaller of the two swordsmen following him.
The two of them were running a little apart to occupy the front and back of Hyeonjun. Thanks to that, even though it was a short moment, I was able to create a one-on-one situation.
Hyeonjun stretched out his left hand again and gathered mana.
The bastard believed in the armor and ran at it. I will defend against magic with my armor and crush it with my sword to death. I felt that determination clearly.
He thought that if Hyeon-jun was holding a longsword with one hand, he would surely be able to kill him.
“Back off!”
sudden!
The big one shouted, but water already spurted out of Hyeonjun’s hand and poured onto the little one’s face. The water, which had already been created and had mass, did not disappear even in front of the power of magic defense and hit the guy as it was, and he closed his eyes at the impact and swung his sword.
Sreung, Pak!
“Big!”
Hyeon-joon closed his eyes and snapped his wrist gracefully as it collided with the sword he swung. Even though he was holding it with one hand, his soft wrist drained the impact.
Before I knew it, the opponent’s sword was facing the floor, and Hyeon-jun’s sword swung up like the wind and hit him in the face.
It was blocked by the helmet, but the shock staggered back. The part that covered the face of the helmet was distorted, and blood gushed out of the guy’s nose.
Hyeonjun flung his body to the side again to avoid the big guy’s attack.
“sh*t!”
The little guy cursed and brushed his face. Even so, he did not take off his distorted helmet. Rather than die by giving up his head, he would rather endure the inconvenience. That’s the right decision.
Hyeon-jun bites his body again and runs toward the encirclement. This time as well, magic interfered. Hyeon-jun ran at an amazing speed, stopped his jaw, and then ran in the opposite direction and attacked the big guy.
Right before they collided, Hyeon-joon gritted his teeth as he felt mana spread over a wide area while riding on the floor.
The moment the magic was about to activate, Hyeon-joon leapt up and jumped over him. At the same time, he tried to block the big guy’s sword, but Hyun-jun, who suddenly twisted his body, eventually allowed the attack. He wasn’t such a clumsy gossip that he missed such an opening.
“Suck!”
The swords collided, and the guy cut Hyeon-jun’s thigh long. Blood was pouring out, and Hyun-joon, unable to land and rolling on the floor, looked back.
The floor is muddy. If I had stepped on that place, I would have been stranded, surrounded and killed.
However, Hyeon-joon jumped over the mud even though he was hurt, and the older one was stranded.
“Kuk!”
Hyeonjun jumped up and ran towards the wizard. As long as there are no wizards, it’s only a matter of time to kill them all!
“hurry!”
At that time, the little guy stood in front of the wizard and shouted. Then, with a face dripping with nosebleeds, he resolutely raised his sword.
Even though Hyeonjun cut his thigh, he rushed like a bull. With every step he took, blood gushed out and pain followed, but there was no hesitation.
The little one gasped for breath through his mouth, as if his nose was broken and it was difficult to breathe, and then attacked. Put it in the middle and run with a solid attitude. Hyeonjun rushed forward, holding his sword high.
Right before the collision, Hyeon-jun kicked the floor with his foot, slowed down at once, and spun around. The cloak fluttered along with the movement, blocking his vision for a moment, and the little one missed the beat of the attack and hesitated because his vision was blocked. Hyeonjun turned round and lowered his stance as if he was almost on his stomach, and then, while touching the ground with his left hand, fired vigorously as if it grazed the floor.
“under!”
The big guy shouted from behind, but Hyeon-joon was already in his arms.
I grabbed Ricasso with my left hand and thrust my sword into his left armpit.
“Kuaaa!”
It was protected by chain armor, but the chain broke from the tremendous impact and the tip of the sword went in.
Even as he screamed at the sword that was almost two fingers in, he held the sword with only his right hand and tried to hit Hyeon-jun in the head with a permal.
Hyeonjun pushed the guy’s chest with his shoulder so close that they could feel each other’s breath and twisted and pulled out his sword.
The permal wielded by the little guy just grazed Hyeon-jun’s shoulder.
“bloke!”
Hyeon-joon ignored the big guy from behind and jumped over the fallen little guy and ran towards the wizard.
The escorts and Chen Ze block it, but they won’t be able to stop Hyeon-jun!
Charleuk!
“Suck!”
However, even after taking that golden opportunity, Hyeon-joon glanced around the moment he heard a metal sound and threw himself in the opposite direction. I backed off without any hesitation, moving so quickly that I had to roll hard on the floor. And before Hyeon-Jun even got up, countless thorns rose from the floor, tearing Hyeon-Jun’s body apart.
“Kha!”
Hyeon-jun opened his mouth in pain, but he immediately shook his body and broke the thorns and came down and retreated.
‘Iron net!’
A bodyguard spreads out and retrieves an iron net that has fallen to the floor by pulling the string. Iron nets are for catching medium-sized monsters, and also for catching knights. It is an object that is strictly controlled as a war material. I brought it to kill Hyeon-Jun!
If you hadn’t seen them casting their nets in Red Forest Village, you would have been caught.
The moment I saw the guards getting ready to cast the iron net, I was able to quickly make a decision, as the adventurer’s posture in the red forest village overlapped.
‘This is how they are treated as knights.’
Hyeonjun raised his sword and took a stance.
Elsewhere, the armor blocked it, so it was fine, but the thighs were completely torn and turned into rags. There, a thorn rose to his face, scratching his cheekbone and tearing his face, despite turning his head to avoid it.
It was a wound that would make it impossible for a normal person to stand still, but Hyeon-jun did not break his posture. He endured even greater pain than this. Ironically, thanks to the power of Tahman, who planted the trauma, he was able to withstand moderate pain toughly, unless it was a burn.
“Don’t let them escape!”
The wizard shouted and the big one ran again.
The surroundings are guarded by guards making a solid formation. Even in a desperate situation, Hyeonjun judged the situation without losing his cool.
Hyeon-jun turned to the side to avoid the big guy rushing at him and rode around in a circle. The blood pouring from his thighs made a wet, fishy red path. No matter how resilient you are, you can’t quickly recover from a wound like this.
Hyeon-jun ran quickly despite his injury, but it was evident that he was slower than before. In front of him, mana fluctuated and thorns rose, and Hyeon-jun had no choice but to bite his body into the center of the encirclement.
Not missing the opportunity, the big guy raised his sword to the top and rushed towards Hyeon-jun.
Hyeonjun spurred the floor to a stop and turned around. Blood gushed out of his thigh and spilled onto the floor. Hyeon-joon lowered his stance, looking straight at the attacker even though he was dizzy from bleeding. The expression on his face disappeared, and the mana in his body, which he had been saving by extracting and using mana only from magic tools, boiled like a pulsation. Hyeon-joon was able to buy about 3 seconds of time through the gap created by the little guy’s injury, and that was enough.
“Avoid!”
The wizard shouted, but Hyeon-joon had already been shot out like a flash. The speed was so fast that even the swordsmen and the wizard who was watching from a distance missed Hyun-joon’s movements. Only the fluttering black cloak following his movements was visible as an afterimage.
Hyeonjun dug into the arms of the guy who couldn’t even swing his sword.
I grabbed Ricasso with my left hand, pointed the blade at it, and stabbed it like a spear.
“omg!”
The guy who couldn’t even scream and let out a breath just stopped.
Hyeon-joon’s sword pierced neatly through his chain armor, severing bones and tearing through his lungs, ricocheting out the other side and striking the inside of the armor. Hyeon-joon shook off the pack, pulled out his sword, and rushed toward the encirclement.
The guards raised their shields and took their stance, but when Hyeon-jun hit the shield with the swords they held out, it bounced off like a toy.
“Nonsense! Mana Knight!”
“no! Bester!”
The wizard shouted and the little one screamed. Hyeon-jun was already running out of the encirclement. However, an adventurer with a bow, quietly looking for an opportunity, hid in the darkness and finally fired the first arrow.
Pak!
“Turn it off… !”
An arrow pierced the back that was not protected by armor.
Hyeon-jun staggered for a moment, but he ran and hid himself in the woods without slowing down.
“He’s a terrible guy… .”
The man who shot the bow muttered and lowered the bow. It seems that I am not human to be able to run even though I have such a wound and an arrow stuck in my back. I have to chase it like this and put an end to it, but it’s so fast that I can’t seem to catch up. In addition, one of those who have to deal with Hyeon-jun is seriously injured, and one will soon die.
From noble mtl dot com
He trembled and unstringed his bow. Anxiety creeps up on your back. To miss a wounded beast, I want to step out right away, but I won’t let it go.
Should I have declined the offer the night before? No, the power would have been sufficient. The opponent was too strong and tough like a monster.
“Still, I’m addicted, so I won’t be able to go far.”
The guy muttered, trying to shake off his anxiety. And approached people. Anyway, I can’t withdraw now, and I can’t stop until I kill Hyeon-jun.
“Time is on our side.”
Soon after, the light spread through the forest and began to illuminate the darkness.
***
“Huck, huck, hook, ha ha!”
Hyeonjun, who was running frantically, stopped. Then, groping his hand, he grabbed the arrow stuck in his back.
“Huh, Hook. sh*t… .”
I applied force to gently pull it out, but the arrowhead got caught and I couldn’t pull it out. Hyeonjun finally pulled out the dagger and put it on his back.
“Suck!”
Then, with a delicate sense, he accurately cut the flesh where the arrow was stuck and pulled out the arrow at once.
“hahahaha… ! big… .”
My hands tremble with pain and bleeding. Hyeon-jun fastened his cloak tightly to escape from the cold he felt for the first time in a while. Shed too much blood. If he hadn’t raised his resilience, he would have already lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding or died without being able to escape.
Hyeon-jun staggered, hiding his arrow by covering it with fallen leaves.
You can feel the cold energy going around your body and healing you. However, even in areas where there are no scars, the energy is circulating.
The stew served for dinner tonight was poisonous. I could notice right away. There was a foul smell coming from the mouths of those who drank the water. I would have put an antidote in the canteen. Hyeon-jun took just one bite of Su-ryu, and that small amount of poison was already detoxified with the power of immunity 1 while killing the adventurers.
‘The arrows were also poisoned.’
Hyeon-joon was dizzy and grabbed his head as he walked and stopped on a tree. After standing like that for a while, he fumbled for a canteen and took out a drink. Blood dripped from his blood-soaked gloves and dripped down his face, but he couldn’t hold back his thirst.
“hahahaha! Heck, heck… .”
When he lowered his head, black blood flowed from his nose. The poison is quickly detoxified, but the body has already suffered a lot. If you wait soon, everything will recover, but still, the sickness and pain that seem to be seething in the stomach continue to torment Hyeon-jun. In addition, exhaustion and dizziness due to mana depletion seemed to grab Hyeon-jun’s head and shake it.
‘hour… . It takes time.’
You need time to recover. Cold energy spreads widely for detoxification, so recovery is slow. Because of this, blood continued to pour from his waist and thighs, and he had no choice but to sit down for a moment.
“Okay, whoa… .”
Hyeonjun closed his eyes, catching his breath. The pain of being burned by the poison ran through her body, but it would soon subside. Soon everything will be detoxified, and the bleeding will stop as soon as the wound begins to heal. Even the mana depletion will go away after a while. It’s not too late to move again then.
I shook them a lot, and they got away. Think soberly. Don’t move in haste. You just need to get over this hurdle. Time is on my side.
