263. The Weight of Words
The moment the ax is swung, cold air spreads along the trajectory. The sharp, spreading cold looked like wolf teeth.
A splendid sight where a woman named Findenai momentarily looks like a wizard.
But the hunters blocked her attack by quickly raising her shield forward.
Findeneye’s eyebrows twitch slightly at them, who were tightly cohesive and took them cleanly without causing much damage.
‘More than I thought… ….’
This is a fairly systematic group. I thought it could be dangerous if I simply thought about it or ignored it.
But it’s really just that.
It was dangerous if ignored.
Pushuuuk!
Her smoke billows out from the war shoes she is wearing. She rose and rushed forward, boasting considerable speed.
The speed was not difficult to respond to.
From the beginning, war shoes are an item used in places such as the city center to make wide use of space.
In this open plain, it wasn’t of much help other than allowing me to fly in the sky for a little while.
Even so, for Finden Ai, it is one of the means by which she can maintain her physical strength.
As she lifts her shield and swings her snow-white mercilessly towards the enemies who stand in her way, those who are pushed back by her power fall backwards.
The figure that appeared, easily breaking through the barrier of fiercely skilled hunters, really looked like a wolf that had come to bite the sheep.
However.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
This is not a helpless shepherd boy, but a huge man with a bushy beard.
The leader of the hunters, Whalebelter, steps forward holding a huge axe, just like Findeneye.
Indeed, it was more appropriate to say that the tough man was a mercenary rather than a hunter.
In fact, Finden Eye, who did not know their identity, was wondering if they were a specific group of mercenaries.
Quang!
The two people’s ax blades collide with each other, unleashing a fierce blast. An unbearable smile flowed from the corner of Findeneye’s mouth.
“Oh, what are you doing thinking about it?”
Although she was fighting with herself, Whale Belter felt as if she was speaking to someone else.
Even though they were obviously exchanging fierce attacks and sweating so hot that not even the cold air could cool them down.
“I could have just given it to him, beat him up and taken him away!”
As soon as she finished speaking, her white hair began to move forward. It was so dazzling that you couldn’t feel her weight at all, but the whale belter who was blocking it in front of her unknowingly put so much pressure on her teeth that she almost bit her tongue.
“…… !”
He is not Margrave Darius, nor is he Sangun, the guardian deity of the mountains.
Whalebelter had a perplexing question as to where on earth such a monstrous woman had come from.
“Hey.”
The woman’s low voice is aimed at his thick neck like a sword.
“Are you thinking about something else?”
Whalebelter’s ax, unable to swallow his saliva properly due to the coldness, eventually breaks into pieces, unable to withstand the shock.
Flowing white hair and blood red eyes shining between them.
Wolves guarding the mountains.
The name ‘hunter’ may be crying, but Whale Belter had no choice but to admit it honestly.
You cannot beat the woman in front of you with your individual skills. Then there is one thing you need to do.
“Catch it!”
Hunters pouring in from all directions. These are not honorable professions like knights.
They do not blindly stick to one-on-one combat, and they do not feel any sense of moral guilt when dealing with their prey.
Pouring nets and nooses.
Arrows and bullets.
Sword and spear.
There were so many attacks that it was unclear whether they were trying to kill or capture them.
Pushuuuk!
Finden Eye’s war shoes rise upwards again, emitting smoke, easily dodging all their attacks.
Findeneye, who rose into the sky like that, smiled as he saw the familiar faces running towards us from the Clark Republic.
“It’s late, you bastards!”
No matter how the Clark Republic has collapsed, Margrave Darius cannot just bring troops into a foreign land.
The fact that the mountain range was subjected to a terrorist attack could be a reason.
Darius’s personal decision to lead his troops across the border of another country is not a matter that is solely the responsibility of the Verdi family.
Because the hunters are not part of the Republic, public opinion can be driven by methods like Griffin’s own play.
In this ambiguous situation.
The solution was definitely FindenEye.
“Oooh! Leader!”
“It’s been a while! “You’ve become prettier!”
“Is it okay if I just sort out these useless things?!”
The members of the scrap metal dealer are now fighting not for freedom but for the rights of the republic.
They arrived to deal with the robbers who came to their land.
In the end, there is Finden Eye in front. Furthermore, mountain ranges and mountain groups.
The revolutionary army fought to gain freedom from the rule of the great evil Magan.
“This, this…” ….”
Why did things suddenly become like this?
Whale Belter sighed as he looked at the North Weddon Mountains, where the fire had already been completely extinguished.
* * *
“Ha.”
Deia sighs in relief with her legs crossed. As I look out the window at the group of hunters brought by Findeneye, my body relaxes.
It was resolved well.
I was quite worried when Sangun asked for help.
It was as if he was asking his guardian spirit to protect him.
But when you think about it, it wasn’t that difficult. To be precise, it was not difficult to make.
‘It was a misunderstanding that arose from the difference in perspectives between Sangun and us.’
When I saw Sangun asking for help, I thought that someone stronger than Sangun would come and kill or threaten him.
If that happens, of course the Verdi family cannot stop it.
Deia went to Sangun to explain the cold situation, and what he got was an unexpected answer.
‘Because he is the guardian deity of the mountains, he cannot respond to threats outside the mountains.’
The moment Deia heard that, she realized. He misunderstood that it was a communication problem.
‘Well, there wouldn’t be a crazy person in the world who would normally hunt such a monster.’
One problem solved.
Deia thinks like that and stretches.
This much is possible even without Deius Verdi. I also wondered if I had been relying too much on him for the past year.
‘No, that’s not it.’
I just didn’t have a chance to show my abilities because I just figured it out on my own before I could even say or think about it.
The moment when Deia was about to have a cup of tea, thinking that even if he came back, he would be able to proudly explain that something like this had happened.
Rock!
The door opens and Darius and Findeneye come inside. And the Whale Belter was dragged tied up.
I thought he was brought in for questioning, but Darius’ expression was surprisingly serious.
“Deia, I guess it’s not over yet.”
“Huh?”
I wondered what it was.
Finden Eye pushes the man named Whalebelter forward and kicks him with his leg.
“Ugh!”
He dropped to his knees, let out a faint exclamation, and then carefully raised his head.
When Deia got up from her chair and gestured with her chin to tell him to speak, he swallowed her saliva and carefully opened his mouth.
“Well, we are an organization called hunters.”
“Yes, I heard.”
I thought the name was blatant, but personally, I liked how it was much more intuitive than something like Dante.
“Actually, the reason we came here is not simply to kill the mountain army.”
“… ….”
“Commissioner Deius Verdi! “I’m here to find him!”
The story continued.
What is the purpose of the organization called hunters? Also, who is leading them?
Finally.
They even say that this is not the end.
The more Deia listened, the more it occurred to her that the man in front of her was not very loyal to the hunter group.
It’s baffling how they can explain everything so easily.
“I guess this guy’s mouth only has a lock on his lower lip. “It’s so heavy that it just opens.”
Even Finden Eye slapped him on the back of the head, saying it was ridiculous.
Whale Belter, who was hit, looks awkward but quickly makes fun of his mouth.
“Well, that’s because we feel like a mercenary group. “Except for Captain Lanhardt and a few of his subordinates, they don’t have a lot of loyalty!”
“Didn’t you say you were second in command?”
When Darius asked, crossing his arms, he answered by nodding his head.
“That’s because I have so many subordinates that Lanhardt only gave it to me in name.”
Whale Belter knelt down and shouted urgently. He already knew that he was caught here and that his life would be lost if he didn’t stick to this side, so he was actively helping.
“Lanhardt is coming! He will never let me live after losing and handing over the information! “He is like a beast!”
“… ….”
“I will kill Su, the guardian spirit, and even kill Deius Verdi to steal his souls!”
“Ask them to do it.”
It was annoying before, but now it was really unbearable. Deia frowns and grits his teeth.
“If you can, try it.”
Who are you talking about killing in front of whom?
Do you really know its weight?
Deia’s eyes turn and look at the heavy mountain range.
