John poked his head above the water. It had been pulled up from Hoan. John, whose heavy body was barely hanging onto the ground next to the waterway, breathed heavily.
“Cough-cough-cough-”
“John, are you okay?”
Adrin patted him on the back with a worried expression. It was like coughing up the intestines. And Hoan, who stood in front of them, said coldly.
“It won’t last long.”
Coughing up, Yohan couldn’t ask what he had to endure. But after a while, he found out too.
“Quwaaagh!”
The cry of the monster rang first,
Boo-woong-!
A terrifying swinging sound followed.
Following the trajectory of the chimera’s big hand, a pile of stones flew in once again. A heap of stones flying in the middle of the day.
Hoan glared at this and made up his mind.
‘Behind me is the princess.’
Then his sword started dancing.
Chachachachachang-!
Chachachang!
His swiftly swung sword intercepted the flying stones. An exquisite swordplay that blocks countless dots with lines. For a moment, the stones colliding with the sword raised a thick cloud of dust.
‘Leave the princess, I won’t collapse!’
Along with his determination, Hoan’s sword displayed the ultimate savagery with the momentum to dominate the moment.
Cha Cha Cha Chang!
It was not a move that could be explained with logic. Ho An himself was aware of this, and it was a sword move that exceeded his own swordsmanship skills. Yohan calls this ‘systematic correction’, but Hoan himself believes it to be the power of conviction.
The power contained in the oath that he once said to the last princess of the empire, ‘I will protect you.’
Dudududuk-.
The stones bounced off his sword either deflected toward the wall or fell to the floor, blocked by his sword. Adrin, who closed her eyes tightly, shouted.
“Hoan!”
“Don’t worry, lady. I am fine.”
Adrinne is also someone who has mastered the sword. Because of that, he knew just how mysterious the swordsmanship his guardian knight showed off was.
And this wasn’t the first time.
One day, there were assassins who came after them. The moment when he had to prepare for his own death in the pouring rain of arrows.
Even at that moment, Hoan had protected himself and himself by pointing his sword at the arrows.
“John! What should I do now?”
“… wait skill use. [simulation].”
John closed his mouth at the end of the incomprehensible words. In the meantime, the battle between Hoan and the monster continued.
Boo-woong-
The monster’s arm swings.
Cha Cha Cha Cha Chang-!
Hoan’s lightning-like sword smashes the flying stones.
puck!
A stone that he couldn’t stop hit him in the jaw. However, unlike Yohan, Hoan did not collapse. Adrinne watched the back of the man who was standing tall in the dust with gritted teeth.
Her own Guardian Knight, whose armor had been corroded and had a hole in it.
It was a sight that somehow made me cry. Adrine realized that the situation she was hiding behind his back was against the resolution she had once made.
A determination not to leave one’s own survival in the hands of others.
She looked down at John’s wet face. Surprisingly, the face he pulled to Murpak was also the face of a god of devotion in this era. And although she hugged him with a worried heart, there was nothing she could do to help him recover right away.
Booung-!
Cha Cha Cha Cha Chang!
Dudududuk-
Adriene frowned at the rising dust. But the next moment she carefully pushed John’s head toward the floor. Then he straightened up his rapier and stood up.
“Hoan, I’ll help too.”
“no. You’re in the way, lady.”
“There is blood flowing down the chin.”
“It was just scratched.”
Adrine didn’t believe him. Hoan said something similar when he severely cut his forearm one day.
I couldn’t let it go.
But just as she stood away from Hoan and tried to disperse her target, a hand grabbed her ankle.
It was John’s hand.
“Next.”
“… yes?”
“If I signal, we will run at that monster together.”
“ah… ”
“Take responsibility, and hold back his left arm.”
“Oohhh!”
Chimera roared loudly. Adrinne looked at the huge monster blocking the end of the hallway. The monster was pulling its furry arm to store momentum, as if it were about to throw another pile of rocks.
John, who got up before he knew it, continued.
“All you have to do is brush the side of the scales so that the arms are out of line. Do not fight back, only think of defense.”
“Why?”
“Because it would be impossible to hurt with your sword.”
“I don’t know the body, but that head is a human head. There’s no way I can’t cut it with my sword.”
There were no logical flaws. But John firmly shook his head.
“no.”
“Then why!”
“You will be poisoned by the poison he spits out.”
“… And you?”
“There is a way I won’t get hurt.”
It makes no sense. In order to cut that head, you must first stand in front of that head.
“What makes you different?”
“You must be feeling it. Am I telling a lie?”
It was as John said. [Seeker of truth] Adrinne felt that John’s words were true.
Before she could say anything, another Chimera throw followed.
***
‘Something these guys.’
The Chimera was surprised before it got angry. He was the one who roamed the waterways here, hunting and absorbing countless creatures. Maybe that’s why he was so sure. Three small creatures who believed that they could probably hunt them down at once.
They are now crawling into that narrow passage and finally resisting themselves.
It looks smart.
And if you embrace smart guys in yourself, you will become more perfect. Just like he grew up while embracing the one who was previously chained. And after killing them, there will be a way to get them out at all costs.
Then just hold it again and that’s it. Chimera roared.
“aaa!”
I throw out what I have in my hand with all my might. It was difficult to measure the distance because I lost one eye, but as long as I threw it so that it reached the opposite wall, the sense of distance was meaningless.
Boo-woong-
The thrown stones flew towards the man wearing the armor. And Hoan showed another season.
Cha Cha Cha Cha Chang-
In that fleeting moment when heaps of stones fall, his sword dances like a living snake. Swinging, cutting, deflecting, stabbing, and receiving. This was a phenomenal move even for the Chimera.
But Chimera was convinced. That creature was probably using movements beyond its own abilities. We know the blood flowing down his chin, not because he was stoned, but because he vomited blood. This is an internal injury that occurs when qi is used excessively.
“Cool. Big.”
A deep cough came from the thick dust. It was clear that he was coughing up blood as his internal injuries continued.

Now, if you throw stones once more, you won’t be able to stop him.
But the Chimera didn’t have to throw another stone.
“Now!”
“I know!”
Tadadak-
The sound of footsteps grew louder in the dust. The one who broke through the blurry dust first was a blonde woman.
She was running towards the left side of the Chimera.
Booung-
His left arm was swinging. It was towards her leg. It was based on the judgment that she would not be a very strong woman based on her muscle mass, and if so, the intention was to attack at an angle that was difficult to cut with a sword.
However, if there was one thing she didn’t know, it was her swordsmanship skills. Her graceful movement gently brought her rapier into a difficult position.
“Where!”
Chieng-
The arm that collided with the sword climbed up the slope of the sword. It is the arm that once tore and killed and embraced the naga that inhabited this place. And the reason why the naga had to be torn to pieces was because of the amazing hardness of the scales of the naga. Like the principle of ring-mail, the scales are systematically entangled against incoming stabs or cuts, distributing the attack power.
Chimera thought.
Like a sword attack, I can deal with it any number of times. But before attacking her again, the man standing to her right shouted.
“This way!”
It was a man who had come out of the dust, with blonde hair following him. The man who ran forward with a shining sword was poised to pierce his side at any moment.
Of course I couldn’t allow it. The Chimera raised her right hand. This is the arm that poisoned and embraced the man-eating bear that was sleeping deep here. Although it can be cut by a sword, its strength is incomparable to that of its own left arm.
All you have to do is treat cuts.
The heavy arm fell over John’s head. However, Yohan refused to do something stupid, such as exchanging his life for a monster’s arm. He changed the shape of his weapon.
Just like when I dealt with the [Golem of Language] one day.
[Equipment of Justice] has as many different names as its shapes.
Like the sword form [Mulkan’s Sword] or the bow form [Obelon Tourper], the shield also has its own name.

Name it [Anti Realcon].
The strongest shield created by the great blacksmith to block the firearms of the ancient Tinker.
John slammed the shield into the ground and caught the falling fist. The defense method, which sufficiently distributed the force to the floor, prevented John from collapsing, even though it made John’s knees bend. From under the shield, a heavy moan of ‘Kkeuu-‘ came out.
And that wasn’t the end.
“Uhaaap!”
Through the dust, the last person jumped out. It was a knight in armor who threw stones at him. While Adrinne and John blocked each other’s arms, he ran straight between them and jumped up with his sword pulled back.
And Chimera was calculating even his appearance.
The Chimera inflated her cheeks as much as possible and then spat out what she was holding in her mouth.
“Tweee)
“What?!”
Chimera’s deadly venom poured into his floating body. The deadly poison poured out like a splash made the guardian knight scream.
“Quaaagh!”
Contrary to his jumping momentum, he let go of his sword and fell to the ground screaming. A red poisonous wound appeared on the skin that came into contact with the saliva. A corrosive reaction continued in the armor, and he desperately scooped up water from the underground aqueduct with both hands and pushed it into his face and body.
However, the head attached to the front of the Chimera’s belly tilted slightly.
The article’s reaction was natural. The skin in contact with his own saliva must have been stinging, and to neutralize the poison, he would have had no choice but to pour water right away.
What was strange was the smell.
The iron was corroding and the smell should have been emitted. it doesn’t smell like that.
Only John knew why. And he didn’t explain that ‘Dokkaebi’s magic doesn’t smell.’ he just does what he has to do
The [Arms of Justice], which had returned to the form of a sword before I knew it, cut off the head attached to the Chimera’s stomach.
