142 – EP.29 Fierce Battle -4
When I came out through the broken window, thousands of soldiers came out and saw Tia with burning red eyes.
“There are a lot of jingle jingle!”
“Jingle jingle! It looks like a cockroach!”
“First of all, it is a little bit like comparing cockroaches because they are fundamentally human…. Anyway, let’s get this all sorted out!”
“Yeah~! Happy cleaning time!”
Since Freesia has been left to clean up the inside of the castle, Tia and I want to clean up the outside of the castle.
From noble mtl dot com
Leshef’s strength is the plague, but the plague doesn’t work on me, Tia, and Freesia.
Because the guardian dragon’s ability blocks the plague that is dissolved in the air.
So, except for an all-out war, only the infected need to be careful in the battle against Lesshef.
It becomes a headache when infected soldiers and knights, another limb of Leshef, get involved in an all-out war against Leshef.
So the first thing we have to do is cut off all the limbs.
It’s a pity to have to kill those who defended the country, but there is no choice but to annihilate them all.
“Tia. I’ll take care of the guys in the back!”
“Arasse!”
The infected soldiers rushed towards me as soon as Tia moved.
I took a short deep breath as I drew out my sword.
It’s okay, I can do it, let’s believe in the power of my companion divines, etc. I meditate positive words in my head and walk towards the soldiers calmly.
Eventually, when the distance between them was reduced to some extent, I jumped towards them.
“Huh!!”
The first step was to cut off the head of the leading soldier.
With the second step, I pierced the heart of the soldier behind me while dodging the spear that was piercing me.
The third step, the soldier’s vertical slashes flow like water with the sword, and he pushes the soldier with his body.
Fourth step, using the body of the soldier as a meat shield, limiting the actions of the soldiers, and attacking soldiers approaching from both sides one by one, and slashing them.
The fifth step… Instead of moving forward, he turned his body counterclockwise to catch the arrow flying from behind.
Then throw the arrow caught on the string of air and shoot it at the archer on top of the building.
To avoid the arrows sent to the station, the archers hurriedly tried to avoid them, but to no avail.
The arrow sent to the future should already be lodged between his eyebrows.
‘Anyway, one person per second.’
The efficiency is bad.
I tried to fight with as much restraint as possible, but I don’t think I’ll be able to deal with all the soldiers within today.
As expected, there is no choice but to use the ability in the way of conserving power as much as possible.
“Whoa… !!”
Creates a small ember in the palm of your right hand.
When I calmly overlapped the sword in my left hand with the embers, the fire blazed strongly and wrapped around the entire sword body.
‘I’m afraid someone isn’t an idiot….’
The sword of Fenrir, imbued with Kor’s ability, rejoiced and increased the size of the burning flame to its maximum.
The small fire eventually grows into a fire that burns people’s skin in an instant, revealing its teeth to the infected.
A wolf of fire clamoring for help to bite them quickly.
Accepting the wolf’s request, I grabbed the handle with both hands and swung my sword into the air.
“Whoa!!”
The flames that finally escaped from the blade engulfed the soldiers in front one after another and spread out leaving a single ember in their bodies.
Soon, the moment when the flames, which reached the maximum reachable distance, entered the body of the last soldier and faded away.
-Kwaaang!
The bodies of all the soldiers filled with embers exploded all at once and burned the surroundings.
Explosion of human body beyond human ignition.
Even the soldiers who couldn’t bear to leave the fire were engulfed in the explosion and died.
‘I feel it again, but Cor’s ability is f*cking strong….’
It felt like a joke when I was cutting them off one by one until just now.
I couldn’t help but feel that way when I saw hundreds of burning soldiers’ corpses.
However, the soldiers who were still alive were overflowing.
What ability should I use to annihilate him this time?
When I was thinking that, the soldiers did not move and stood still.
I wondered if he was frightened by my attack earlier, but unfortunately that wasn’t the reason.
‘It was like that… ….’
– Iron Greok! Cheolguk!
One knight who is still moving despite being roaring with fire.
Full plate armor trimmed neatly in white and a helmet with bright red feathers.
Through the helmet that completely covered my face, dark red eyes glared at me.
And the handle of the sword he pulled out was shining brightly with the sign of Rasvir Kingdom.
Its appearance matched perfectly with someone recorded in the journal of the vice-captain of the Rasvir Knights that you defeated and obtained earlier.
“The Commander of the Knights….”
The footsteps of the knight burning with fighting spirit, undeterred by the flames, felt like a mountain was approaching.
The grand appearance of the mid-boss.
The infected soldiers couldn’t interfere with his march, so none of them moved.
And I also felt one thing while watching him.
‘He must be defeated 1v1 unconditionally.’
I don’t know why, but I felt like I couldn’t move forward without it.
I raised the sword that had been put down for a while and corrected my posture.
After a while, the captain of the knights, who came close to me, stood in his place and struck my sword exactly three times with his sword.
Then he took three steps back and straightened his posture.
Behavior according to the dueling customs of Rasvir Kingdom.
The captain of the knights infected with the plague, but as if he still had his ego, he also wanted a one-on-one match with me.
Certainly, his will, which had been steadfastly enduring his way through the hot fire casually, is nothing but an impression that he is crazy.
“Whoa… ! Whoa… ! Whoa… !”
After 3 breaths, a duel with no initiates begins.
First, exploration is the basis of duel.
I tried to calmly observe the knight commander and respond to his actions, but…….
“Wow?!”
Before I could react to the captain’s actions, his sword was rapidly approaching to pierce my heart.
He was able to twist his body and protect his heart, but part of his left arm was pierced and blood was seeping out.
A surprise attack that made me feel cold, but the knight commander said it wasn’t over yet and swung the blade flat against my neck this time.
As I calmly step back, I also strike the sword vertically to block it.
I tried to respond with the knight commander’s charge and horizontal slash that followed. He matched the timing with my sword swinging with the gauntlet to offset the impact and stabbed the sword as it was.
Quickly pulls his body out to the side and blocks it by holding his sword between his armpits instead of his heart.
“Kuhup… ?!”
However, turning his sword obliquely, he cut off his serratus anterior muscle and lightly drew his sword.
After that, I showed my composure by swinging my sword in the air and shaking my blood off the floor.
“Come… ! Just seen… With that power… ! Oh I mean… !!”
It was my misunderstanding.
It wasn’t that he was relaxing;
Knock him down without power? It is impossible from the beginning.
This is not an ordinary duel, but a war where both sides risk their lives.
It was an insult to the opponent and an act that polluted the duel.
“Sorry. We will do it right again.”
“Fight… ! Everything… Bet… !!”
“Okay!”
This time, approach the knight commander from my side and tap his sword 3 times.
After that, calmly step back 3 steps and set your posture.
The pattern on the back of the hand that started to glow brightly and the dark red eyes of the knight commander.
-Kaang!
There was no signal this time, but mine and his sword crossed at the same time.
***
A vertical cut that is neatly drawn down.
I tried to block it with my sword, but just before the swords touched each other, the knight leader pulled back his arms and shoulders and switched to a thrusting stance.
If you forcefully change your posture, you will create clear gaps and subtle movements.
However, the change of posture of the knight commander continued naturally, like water flowing from a high place to a low place.
As a result, he showed off a fierce thrust with perfect posture as well as gaps, and I dodged it by jumping backwards for one second.
And at the same time jump again for 3 seconds.
I was thinking of grabbing the leader of the knights from behind and severing his neck at once, but the sharp tip of the sword flew from over the leader’s shoulder towards my forehead.
He threw his head back and barely avoided it, but the tip of his nose was slightly cut and blood oozing out.
Relying on the sense of crisis that came soon after, let’s kick off the ground with our front feet and widen the distance behind us.
The leader’s sword slashed the spot where I was.
To the extent that it was accompanied by hallucinations as if the space itself was being cut down.
The leader of the Knights of Rasbir was truly a monster beyond human limits.
‘This is a knight from a kingdom that used to be peaceful… ?’
The people of the kingdom of Rasvir lived a peaceful life in the space created by the guardian dragon.
I heard that this slowed down the development, but it was only the slow development of civilization.
There were definitely people who didn’t settle for peace and didn’t stop developing themselves.
The only knight who did not give in and pushed himself to the limit despite being ridiculed by everyone, even though it was not a matter of war.
And now, the fruit of those efforts was shining right in front of the man in front of him.
‘It wasn’t for nothing that it was written in the sub-captain’s journal that it was a monster of effort.’
If it wasn’t for the steady training, the sharpness of the technique that was just before would not have been shown.
“Ha ha! Ha! Ha!”
I tried to conserve my strength in order to defeat Lesshef, but there seems to be no room for that.
In a sense, the leader of the knights was even more dangerous than Do-cheol, who almost took my life.
If it had been this man instead of me who was standing in front of Do-chul that day, Do-chul would have died miserably without doing anything.
“Whoa… !!”
A knight with dark red eyes staring right through me, standing quietly opposite me who is breathing like crazy.
The moment my sweat dripped down my cheek and landed on the floor.
He swung her sword at me through a split second.
“A monster… !!”
I managed to block it by cutting off the sword, but on the other hand, I lost my arm due to the shock coming through the sword body.
The commander of the knights took advantage of the kickback and quickly turned around in place and threw his sword at my thigh.
I made a platform for the wind under my feet beforehand, and I popped the platform and leaped into the air.
I tried to kick the helmet while I was levitating, but…….
“hehehe… ?!”
The knight commander grabbed my leg with one hand and immediately threw me to the floor.
And then he thrust his sword down at me, who was sprawled on the floor.
Even though I barely escaped by rolling my body to the side, the blade of the leader stabbed me down and tried to slash me along with the ground.
Avoid a crisis by leaping through time once again.
However, looking at the sharp diagonal lines and cracks drawn on the ground, I imagined myself, who might have been neatly cut to pieces.
“Oops… !!”
I am trying to use the powers of the divine beasts in various ways, but they are lightly perceived due to the number reading and physical differences of the leader of the knights.
Even if you constantly use your abilities to create gaps.
It wasn’t clear whether his body would function properly in the fight against the soldiers afterward.
‘Now I have no choice but to risk my life… !’
From noble mtl dot com
Looking at the knight commander charging again with the sword, this time I stand still.
I have to come a little closer, a little closer.
Just a little more… !!
“Now!”
I grab the sword that approaches my heart with one hand.
It is impossible to block his sword with my strength.
However, the trajectory can be deflected with certainty. Now, his sword does not pierce my heart, but my abdomen.
“Aagh!! Ugh… !!”
The hot preheated iron pierces the abdomen and protrudes out the back.
The visceral pain began to spread through the frontal lobe and through the whole body, causing a violent scream.
At this moment when my arrogance was frowning in pain, I gnashed my teeth and thrust my sword into the knight commander’s heart.
The knight commander hurriedly draws out his sword to avoid the attack.
However, let’s not give up the sword easily, pouring even the strength that was sucked into the left hand and abdomen, which were bleeding violently.
For the first time, the leader of the knights showed feelings of bewilderment.
The only option left for him is to pierce my heart with my sword as it is, or avoid the attack by giving up the sword, or one of the two.
But he was confident that he would never choose the latter.
For the knights of Rasbir, the sword is no different from life.
“…… Excellent.”
-Poo-wook!!
There was a taste.
The taste of the hand that pierced the armor and even the precious heart contained within it.
At last, the sight of each other stabbing each other with swords unfolded.
However, there is a significant difference between my stomach and his heart, so everyone will know which one is fatal.
And who lost…….
“You are right, Captain. You were an opponent that could not be defeated unless you risked everything.”
“After so many years… Finally, the value of my efforts is recognized…….”
Me and the knight commander pull out each other’s swords without an inch of error.
As a result, red fluid started pouring from each other’s wounds, but he and I corrected our postures to the end.
In that state, both of us crossed swords three times at the same time.
-Kaang! Caang! Caang!
A clear sound announcing the end of the duel. The winner was me.
“You worked hard.”
“You worked hard too…. Young knight….”
As soon as the duel is over, I use Miho’s ability to return my body to its original state.
The blood that had been pouring out stopped, and the hole in the abdomen that had been clear was filled up before I knew it.
Meanwhile, the knight commander stood upright, supporting the sword that had been slammed into the ground.
However, the pierced wound near his heart never healed, and even now, blood was flowing unchangingly through the armor.
I thought maybe I was the only one who was being mean to this, but…. What to do?
This is both a duel and a war.
It might not have been bad to leave it as an honorable wound, but there was no room for that during the war.
He had to do his best to prepare for the mid-boss and final boss fights.
“Young knight…. I have one request for you.”
“…… Something?”
“You are the only knight who has survived the plague…. We want you to inherit our will…….”
“Keep talking.”
“The Kingdom of Rasvir…. Before our beautiful hometown gets dirty, I want you to finish it with your hands.”
“… ….”
“And please…. Our one and only idol, Pricia-sama… ! Protect…… !!”
The voice of the knight commander, who was gradually losing his power, could no longer be heard.
However, his final request and the item he was about to hand over were delivered.
I had already left, but as a sign of accepting his will, I approached him and took off his helmet.
The face of a tall and handsome young man.
Despite having a flowery age and outstanding beauty, he bet his entire life on only one.
To protect the kingdom, to protect the people, and to protect the guardian dragon.
With only this one thought, he has been working hard and working hard.
Although he couldn’t overcome the plague, his will was unyielding even in the pain of the plague.
And it seems that the other soldiers did the same.
-f*ck! Fu-wook! Kwaduk!
Soldiers start taking their own lives one by one following the death of the knight commander.
Even though no one said anything, they all gave their lives.
They also had the same heart as the knight commander.
And I, who had concluded that they were trash, deeply reflected on myself while pinching my own cheeks.
I was stupid until the end.
“Rest now….”
The leader of the knights who stands upright until the end. He gently closed his dark red eyes that had lost their light.
You can’t pick up a mistake. However, there were definitely things that even a stupid country could do.
Wear the amulet necklace given to you by the knight commander.
The amulet necklace engraved with the mark of Rasvir Kingdom shone brightly as it reflected the light.
I wasn’t born in Rasbir and I wasn’t a knight, but I can say that now.
‘I am a knight of Rasvir.’
