137 – Dungeon of the Constellation (7)
Gren felt something unusual from the moment he struck the dagger that suddenly flew away.
No matter how careless you are, there is no doubt that someone who can twist the 6-star knight Gren’s senses and memorize it must be great.
However, this assassin gave up all his advantages as an attacker and appeared with a sword.
‘Are you confident? Or for what purpose… ah.’
Gren noticed immediately that the assassin was keeping an eye on Charlotte in the convoy.
There will be 100% co-workers.
While taking care of Trisha, I plan to save Charlotte from the convoy.
But obviously it’s fatal.
Gren is currently in a situation where he has to protect Manu, and he doesn’t know anything about the number or skills of the assassin’s allies.
Manu said, trembling at Trisha’s life.
“He… Sir Gren! Can you handle it? Aren’t you a six-star knight?”
Gren shook his head.
“Manu. It seems to be wrong.”
Gren’s sword is just a normal artifact.
It’s like a fire magic enchantment for hunting Nyx in lightening magic?
However, just by looking at it, the sword that Trisha was holding did not look like a simple sword.
It is not an artifact as the energy of mana is not felt from the sword Trisha is holding.
However, it was clear that the flames of the torch were rising like magic and the sword made of blood was drawn out.
The difference in equipment is the difference between the sky and the ground, but if they collide, you lose unconditionally.
Then taking Charlotte hostage is…
It’s impossible because of Gren’s position.
I don’t know if he was aiming, but it was because the distance between the assassin and Charlotte was closer than the distance between Manu and Charlotte.
The details of the operation were also insufficient to give orders to other knights.
Gren decided right away.
“You use teleport scrolling.”
“What are you talking about! How much is that! And my soldiers!”
“The soldiers must give up. At this point, it is best for Manu-sama to run away and for me to run separately.”
That she had to give up all 100 knights and soldiers and run away because of that one woman.
Manu couldn’t quite admit it.
Manu said while drooling.
“You think I pay you for that? Tear that bitch to death right now!”
“The only command I have been given is to protect my lord. It’s impossible to protect even the soldiers…!”
Trisha rushed to Gren like a tiger before Gren ended his tactical meeting with Manu.
Gren drew out the aura as much as possible and built up a thick layer of swordsmanship on his sword.
Aww-!
When the sword of the torch and Gren’s sword collided, Manu fell backwards with a terrible roar.
Beep-
I heard my tinnitus and the sky was spinning and I couldn’t come to my senses.
Manu barely raised his head and looked at Gren and Trisha.
Whenever Gren and Trisha’s swords collided, an auror exploded with the air.
The eyes of the magician Manu had no choice but to stare with his mouth wide open before the speed that could not be pursued.
“··········!”
Manu’s knights ran to Manu and shouted something.
But Manu couldn’t really understand what the knights were saying.
Manu’s eardrum had already ruptured and blood was leaking from his ear.
At that time, a vine dug into the side of the knight who was shaking Manu’s shoulder.
“Uh-huh!”
The vines soaked in blood then began to spread out to other knights, and the knights were terrified and threw their swords at the vines.
However, the ground suddenly rose or went out, and the knights and the soldiers were helpless because they built a wall to prevent them from escaping.
“Protect Manu-sama!”
At Gren’s command, the soldiers and knights came to their senses and began to form a defensive line centered on Manu.
I was able to cope with the vines to some extent by forming a defense.
The strength of the vines was not as strong as I thought, and it was because I only had to pay attention to the sneak attack aimed at the ankles.
hey-
Then, the iron cage of the convoy opened. The soldiers and knights reflexively looked at the convoy.
Charlotte walks slowly while throwing an empty potion bottle.
Charlotte’s eyes gleamed like a demon, and a sword was in her right hand.
“Thank you, Irene, Linia.”
“Is your body okay?”
“uh. it’s okay.”
After that, the Rain Rover also walked out of the forest.
Next to the Rain Rover, the vine queen and the ground mole came out as a escort.
Rain Rover looked at Charlotte and said.
“Can you fight? Charlotte?”
“Absolutely. No, I don’t think it’s going to happen now.”
Charlotte’s eyes turned cold with anger.
However, the protection of the soldiers and knights surrounding Manu seemed very solid.
Besides, Manu is a 4th circle wizard.
A wizard higher than Rain Rover.
It is said that he is in a state of panic and can’t do anything right now, but after a while, when he comes to his senses, he will fire magic.
Charlotte decided it was important to attack them right away when they were still out of their minds.
“In B formation.”
Then, Irene took the lead with the Black Dragon, and Charlotte and Linia stood on the left and right, respectively.
Rain Rover immediately used the secondary magic that he had memorized for the three of them in advance.
‘Smooth Wind’ and ‘Double Barrier’ were laid as the basics, and finally, ‘Haste’ magic was applied to Irene alone.
As soon as Irene felt her body become very light, she rushed forward.
Even though Irene was almost three times faster than usual, she was very stable.
“Stop it!”
Irene’s greatsword was mercilessly drawn horizontally.
Aww!
When Irene’s sword collided with the soldiers’ shields, the shields were shattered and the soldiers’ bodies flew high into the sky.
It felt like being hit by an ogre’s bat.
Even the first soldier to hit had his waist cut in half and flew high into the sky, sprinkled with blood.
Even though it was her first murder, Irene was very calm.
I had already thought that it would happen anytime, and that was only today.
The knight’s sword flew through Irene’s gap.
However, Irene did not defend, but rather swung her sword at the soldiers with shields.
The knight judged that Irene was drunk with blood and called for joy.
However, the sword suddenly twisted against the huge stone wall that appeared between Irene and the knight.
Rain Rover’s ground mole twisted the ground in good time and erected a wall.
Swords caught in the stone wall.
Thanks to this, Irene ignored the knights and persistently attacked only the soldiers who stood in the front, creating an opening for Charlotte and Irene to sneak in.
Charlotte and Linia squeezed through the gap Irene had created.
Linia focused on blocking the sword flying from Charlotte’s right side with her shield and sword, and Charlotte broke through the front.
All those who had beaten Charlotte when he was captured were right in front of them.
Dog-like bastards who spit, trampled on their heads, and uttered humiliating swear words.
Charlotte intended to repay the humiliation with blood.
Charlotte used the Friharden family’s sword blade wind.
Dozens of sharp and cold swords like a bitter winter wind slashed the front.
The knights guarding Agate tried to block Charlotte’s sword, but they had no talent to block the sword filled with Charlotte’s wrath.
Blood spurts out, the body is shattered, and it flies high in the sky.
Charlotte erased his hesitation about his first murder by overshadowing it with anger and revenge.
Linia, who was Charlotte’s assistant, swallowed saliva into Charlotte’s cruel hands.
Charlotte, whom I have seen so far, has not been this cruel.
She was a friendly and smiling person like her older sister.
But when such a person suddenly changed and ran wild like a blood-drunk demon, Linia was a little unfamiliar with Charlotte.
‘Let’s focus.’
Linia only needs to move as promised.
The key to the B formation is that Irene shakes it from the outside and Charlotte and Linia penetrate the enemy line at once to disperse the line.
It was important for the Rain Rover to divide the vacant gap into smaller pieces using the ground mole and the vine queen, and then move on to the E-formation where they break each other when they are sufficiently fragmented.
So it was important to focus so that Charlotte could completely crush this formation and split it apart.
Gearco Charlotte met Manu, who was at the very center of the formation.
Manu looked at Charlotte in terror.
Charlotte’s body was red as if she had taken a shower with blood.
Manu thought he had to use some kind of magic, but his head went blank and he couldn’t do anything.
“ah······.”
Manu’s throat became warm and he suddenly felt as if the sky was spinning.
It wasn’t an illusion.
It was because Charlotte’s sword slashed his neck at the moment Manu didn’t even notice.
When Manu’s neck was blown off, the knights and soldiers fell into a panic state as a group.
“Ahhh!”
The soldiers and knights were scattered all over the place, saying, “Come on, save me.”
Charlotte, Irene and Linia tried to pursue them, but stopped.
It was because small water droplets were floating over the lake.
The water droplets turned into little fairies, and they roared in fury at the fleeing soldiers and knights.
The lake water turned into dozens of hands and rushed towards the fleeing soldiers.
Their hands swallowed up the entire body of the soldiers and pulled them to the bottom of the lake.
Because Nyx is a water fairy turned into a monster, he likes things that are naturally quiet and peaceful.
So, Nyx doesn’t react very much to any fights or battles on the shore of the lake, but he’s gone beyond that now.
“Avoid everyone!”
At Rain Rover’s words, Charlotte, Irene, and Linia immediately fell as far as possible from the lake.
Water’s hand came aiming at the three, but calmly struck them and fell back.
When other knights or soldiers tried to escape, the ground moles and vine queens grabbed their ankles and prevented them from getting out of the Nyx’s attack range.
As a result, only Trisha and Gren were left on the shore of the lake.
No matter how much Nyx, it seemed that he could not interfere with Trisha and Gren’s workshop.
It was because Trisha and Gren’s swords collided when the water’s hand reached out, and the shockwaves shattered them.
Linia asked carefully.
“Will Trisha win?”
“I will definitely win.”
Charlotte had a reason to be sure.
It was because of the condition of Gren’s sword.
Every time Gren’s sword collided with the bleeder and the sword of the torch, it screamed and its durability began to drop.
Before long, Gren’s black will be shattered.
If I had to share the highs and lows of Gren and Trisha’s swordsmanship skills, Gren was slightly higher.
Gren was perfectly defending Trisha’s free and aggressive swordsmanship pattern, and even stabbed a counterattack in the middle.
However, Trisha couldn’t break Gren’s defense no matter how hard he beat him.
But now, there is only one reason why Trisha can push like this.
It was thanks to the lively and quivering.
A sharp bleeder full of blood ripped through Gren’s sword at random, increasing the fatigue of the sword, and the golden torch that flowed out of the sword was riding the sword and continuously damaging Gren’s arms.
Gren’s arms were in a tattered state from burns from the flames of the torch, and there were many cracks in the black.
If it was Trisha in the past, she would have been happy with it, but now it’s not as good.
It felt like an unknown discomfort was digging into Trisha’s heart like an earthworm.
‘Why am I doing this?’
Was it because he became a knight who values justice and process rather than an adventurer who only pursues purpose?
Or did it change after spending a few months with Tigris?
Trisha was winning, but she didn’t feel like winning.
When I feel like I want to stick with something…
Clink!
Gren’s sword eventually shattered without being able to withstand the series of shocks.
Gren’s arms were swallowed by the flames of the torch and burned to perfection.
Although it must have been extremely painful, he did not furrow an eyebrow.
As soon as the sword shattered, Gren knelt down without an ugly fight.
And Gren looked straight at Trisha.
Gren’s eyes didn’t waver.
Trisha seemed to understand something about Gren.
“You have served the wrong master…”
“Do not insult my lord. An unknown knight.”
Gren saw Trisha as a knight, not just a swordsman.
He did not wear armor, nor did he use knightly swordsmanship.
Still, Gren saw Trisha as a knight.
Trisha put the bleeder in the subspace pocket and held the sword of the torch with both hands.
“What is the last thing you want to say?”
Gren looked at Charlotte.
“It was not intentional.”
Charlotte’s complex and subtle emotions swept over Gren, who was not asking to hand over his belongings to his family or uttering curses, but acknowledging his mistake and begging for forgiveness.
At Manu’s command, Gren captured Charlotte, but unlike other knights or soldiers, Gren did not insult him.
Gren was just a knight following Manu’s orders.
Charlotte made eye contact with Gren for a while.
Using force to satisfy the master’s lowly greed is an act against humanity that should be condemned by all people.
However, when a knight receives an order from his master, he must fulfill it.
Whether it’s fair or unjust.
Charlotte was born and raised in a knightly family, so it was not that he did not understand his decisions and actions as a knight Gren.
Charlotte nodded and turned her head.
Gren was satisfied with Charlotte’s forgiveness, then shook his head and closed his eyes.
Trisha held the sword to Gren’s neck.
“This is Trisha, the knight of Tigris di Norverd.”
“This is Gren, the knight of Manu de Harpons.”
Scratch!
Trisha cut Gren’s neck cleanly with the sword of the torch.
So Gren died.
– Sussssssssssssssssss!
Gren was dead, but there was still something left.
It was the angry Knicks.
“uh······!”
Linia looked up at the sky.
The sky was full of water.
The Knicks thought they were quiet for a while, but they lifted up the whole water and covered the sky.
It was beautiful because it felt like I was looking at the sun at the bottom of a clean lake, and it was clear that something terrible would happen if that huge amount of water hit my head, so strange fears were entangled.
The Knicks immediately dropped the water that filled the sky.
Then, the Rain Rover came out.
“Sleep!”
At the shout of Rain Rover, the water that seemed to pour out at any moment stood tall.
Did you understand Rain Rover’s words?
The Nyx looked very angry, but their eyes were fixed on Rain Rover.
“Princess!”
“it’s okay. I’ll try to convince you. That’s why I’m here on the team.”
Rain Rover is the only summoner.
And the most important thing for a Summoner is the ability to respond to monsters.
The ability to respond refers to the ability to convey the feelings and thoughts of the Rain Rover to the monster, and the ability of the summoner to feel the emotions of the monster.
Basically, summoning magic that can give orders to monsters is almost impossible to use without the summoner’s ability to respond.
Although Rain Rover had no contact with and was not tamed with Nyx, he could feel Nyx’s feelings and, conversely, could convey Rain Rover’s feelings to Nyx.
“Sorry! Everyone was sleeping, but I woke up.”
The Knicks looked at Rain Rover without saying a word.
However, the atmosphere itself seemed to have softened a little.
Trisha didn’t even know that a single word would change like this, so she stared blankly at Rain Rover.
“Of course, I’m not saying I’m sorry with my bare mouth. Will this ease my anger…?”
Rain Rover took the sapphire out of the subspace pocket.
As the deep blue sapphire that resembles the sea glistened in the sunlight, the eyes of the Nyxes became cute.
The lake water went into the lake and the Nyx carefully gathered in front of the Rain Rover one by one.
It was as if he was shaking jerky to reduce the alertness of a stray cat he met by chance.
Rain rover, the great tamer of warriors and beasts alike.
