178 – Splitting the Bone
‘Something must have happened to Derke!’
My foreboding was not wrong.
The specter quickly disappeared, so I followed it.
I wonder if that’s not the case…….
「Khaaa the therwaaa!!!”
“What is that…… ?!”
Some kind of monster is screaming outside.
It was a monster with only a skeleton left.
A strange shape resembling an undead.
「… Noryururururung!!!」
That skeleton gourd was struggling with the ghosts. With his head buried by the specters who have united to protect Derke.
‘Derke is in danger if it continues like this…… !’
The target of the monster is, of course, Derke.
Derke’s legs are currently weak.
He collapsed on the snow and shivered with a frightened face.
“How about…… ?”
As white as a rabbit in front of a wolf, he was unable to resist.
If the ghosts are pierced, they will immediately run at Derke. The gap between the specters is slowly widening.
“Oh, brother…… !!!”
Derke instinctively looking for me instead of my parents.
By the way, Derke is in danger if it really continues like this.
ㅡ Iron Cruc! Wow… !
The body reacts on its own in an urgent situation.
An old, dull knife leaves my hand.
I sensed the ominousness earlier and brought it.
‘I don’t know if this will work…… !’
ㅡPagagak!
Although the hand moved instinctively,
For a light throw, the power was enormous.
He must have been so, too, that the knife that fell into me was stuck right into the monster’s forehead.
It’s also very easy, like getting stuck in pudding.
The hilt of a sword sprouts from its head like a horn.
It was so deeply embedded.
As soon as the blade falls out, a small fruit knife is missing.
「Keheee … ?!?!」
At the same time, the monster screamed and collapsed. As if mortally wounded.
‘What is it? Now how did i do? Did your body move wildly? As soon as I grabbed the knife again…… ?’
I couldn’t believe it easily.
It was obviously done with my own hands,
I could hardly understand.
You’ve been suspicious ever since you lightly sliced fruit, but now you can even defeat a monster with a single knife? For a moment, I felt as if someone else was in my body.
Ha, what do you know? Now this is not important.
“Derke, are you okay?!”
“B, breeder oppa-?! Wow, that’s great…… !”
Derke turns his head at my call.
He greets me by calling my name.
As soon as he makes eye contact with Derke, his anxious eyes disappear and his face blooms.
“Aren’t you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, it’s fine… ! But with such an ordinary knife…… ?”
But Derke always had good eyesight even in this situation. I was trembling until just now, when did I notice that it was just an ordinary excessive?
“Now that I’m here, don’t worry. I’ll use that skull gourd for bone broth.”
「Kreukreuk…… !”
The collapsed skeleton groans on the floor.
My name is quite tough when only the skull remains.
No, it doesn’t matter if it’s a physical body since you’re not already on this earth?
ㅡ click, click… !
A crackling sound is heard from the monster’s skull.
A guy who moves while shaking his jaw joint.
It’s like the sound of dentures clashing.
“Isn’t it over yet?”
ㅡDegurur… !
The monster’s head moves slowly, as if a soul resided in the skull. Flashing red eyes into the empty skull.
This is not the time to be like this.
Something that he might run into again.
At this point, I need to finish it quickly.
“Derke? Hurry inside and escape.”
ㅡ Tada dat… !
“Oh, brother?! Dangerous Death Dragon… !!!”
I ignored Derke’s words and ran to the monster. I was planning to pull out the fruit stick stuck in his head and make him a proper Buddha.
How to push when the opportunity comes.
I was going to finish it with momentum.
Somehow, I had to put an end to it with my own hands.
As Derke said, it was dangerous.
Originally, something I would not have dared to do.
However, you never know what will happen if you stay still.
I wanted to protect Derke somehow.
That was all.
‘It’s not even very unlikely. You don’t know if your body will move again like before…… ?’
Besides, didn’t you collapse from overexertion while becoming each monster that shared the power of the demon dragon? It seemed that if I cut it in half like I would handle an ethmoid skull, I could handle it somehow.
ㅡ Depth!
“Good!”
Before I knew it, the knife that had been stuck like a horn on the monster’s head came into my hands again.
Before the monsters started moving in earnest.
There is only a slight movement of black magic on the skull,
It looked like he was still in a groggy state.
Stop working on the bone marrow in this gap. I also split the skin of the thick fruit, but there is nothing that I can’t cut into pieces.
ㅡ Kwak… !
With that in mind, it was time to grab the hilt.
“… B, Mr. Breeder?! It is dangerous to approach monsters with a human body!”
“Howa wat… ! Albino-?!”
“I am a breeder teacher…… ?!”
“Teacher! Cut that thing in half right now!”
Suddenly, voices came from behind.
“… Huh? Sophia? And even the other girls?”
Looking back, I saw other girls rushing out. Everyone must have followed me after seeing me rushing out.
Everyone is worried about me.
Only Eros shouted enthusiastic cheering.
It must be because of my sword skills.
Anyway, humans against monsters?
It’s natural to be worried.
You’re only carrying a single fruit, aren’t you?
‘I can’t stop just because of that. No? This feeling……. I can’t stop even if I want to.’
ㅡ Kwakdeuk…… !
As soon as you hold the knife in your hand, you lose control of your body. Power enters his hand while holding the hilt arbitrarily.
“Again, the body does what it wants…… ?”
I’ve been feeling this ever since, but
When you hold a knife, you feel like becoming a different person.
As if a habit that had been dormant in this body was awakened.
This won’t happen until you accept the dragon heart and resonate……. Does it have anything to do with the unsealed Dragon Heart?
ㅡ Kaga gak… !
The toothless blade easily cuts through the thick bones of monsters. It felt like someone had put their hand on the hilt.
‘Aren’t they easily separated this time too? It’s like cutting out paper…….’
It was quite an embarrassing experience,
It was not a bad experience at all.
Rather, the cool hand taste is wrapped in my brain.
And then…….
「Goo oh oh oh… ….」
ㅡToouk… !
The elongated skull of reptiles is split vertically and splits on both sides. It really happened in an instant.
ㅡSususu… !
“Hmm? Are you disappearing?”
A black shadow disappears as if evaporating from the half-cut monster’s skull. His ashes are split into molecules and blown away like dust in the wind.
Apparently, I did it.
Treating monsters with a clumsy excess?
To cut that with a single knife.
It was something he committed only with the desire to protect Derke, but he was also confused.
“”…… ?!””
Of course, I wasn’t the only one confused.
Everyone had a look of disbelief.
Everyone was speechless.
Before I knew it, I was staring at my face and the remains of the monsters surrounding me. While everyone witnessed it right in front of their eyes.
“Oh, my brother killed the monster…… ?”
“Hee, white-haired boy-?! Are you okay!? Anyway, how the hell are you…… ?”
“Mr. Breeder… You may be a greater person than you think…… ?”
“Bar, what was that? I knew that Sensei was good at using a knife, but… How can you kill a monster with a single sword?”
Only after a while do you hear the reactions.
It must have been difficult to accept.
Actually, I don’t believe it either.
Sonya and Eros muttered quietly,
Derke was still lying in the snow.
Fortunately, only Reirin came to me and looked at me.
ㅡTurbuck, turbuck, turbuck
Lastly, Sofia, who was unable to speak, came to me after Raylin.
“… ….”
Sophia’s lips were parting thinly in a look of surprise.
“Sophia…… ?”
“I’m sorry. Mr Breeder…….”
“Yes? What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
The first thing she said to me was unexpected.
She thought she would just spit out worried worries,
You were the first to give me a sincere apology?
“This is all my negligence. I should have made the monster properly awake earlier…….”
“Yes?”
“I forgot. Earlier, when I dealt with the monster, I was in a hurry to hide my true face from Breeder-san, so I couldn’t deal with it to the end. What is it?”
“Ah, so only the hair like this…… ?”
“That’s right, I almost got into trouble because of my petty shyness. How can I apologize for this…….”
ㅡ Bang!
Sofia holding hands and making eye contact.
Her eyes tremble faintly.
Waves oscillate in her golden eyes.
As if hot tears would flow down any second.
She almost lost her precious person through her own mistake, so it was her natural reaction.
“Apology? It’s okay. As a result, isn’t everyone safe?”
“Yes, but… ….”
“If you feel so sorry for me, could you put away the doubts you had about me earlier?”
“Yes…… ?”
“Put your doubts aside for a moment, enjoy my snacks and cheer up. That is enough for me.”
“Ha?”
“And Sophia-nim, you don’t have to be shy. You don’t know how relieved I was when Sofia-sama came looking for me earlier.”
“Mr. Breeder?”
“So don’t mind that outward appearance in front of me. To me, Sophia is just Sophia.”
“Everyone, you are really… ….”
ㅡ Come on!
As if moved by my answer, Sofia burrowed into my arms with tears in her eyes.
“Howa wat-?! Seo, senior? My turn hasn’t come yet…… ?!”
“Everyone is stepping back, death-!!!”
As soon as Sophia is embraced, Raylin and Derke keep her in check.
“Huh? Derke?”
However, Derke’s reaction is somewhat unusual. It was too serious an expression to keep in check.
It seemed as if the words to back off were the same for me—
“Back… ! Looking back yap-!!!”
ㅡSmal, Smal… !
“Huh? What else is this?”
Looking back at Derke’s cry, something like black smoke comes into view. Something that looked like a spirit was swaying in the air.
‘No way… Isn’t it over yet?’
It was when I saw it and had a foreboding feeling.
ㅡ T-ring!
[The power of the sealed dragon heart (no attribute) is awakened!]
[The specter can be added to the legion with the power of Dragon Heart (no attribute).]
[Would you like to add this specter to the Legion?]
So MC/OG!MC was probably some kind of sword saint. I still think that the MC and OG!MC are the same people for some reason. Probably reincarnation or some shit.
