But now I’m only halfway there.
His impatient mind only made his heart beat loudly, but did not shorten the distance.
It would have been better if I had the ability to teleport, or even a means of transportation such as a bike or a car… … .
“It’s not too late to take a break, even after rescuing Elizabeth. now… … .”
-I’ve been running all morning… … .
“At least to make sure Elizabeth is all right… … .”
-Is it that precious?
At Endairon’s question, I hardened my expression for a moment.
Yes, he might be the second most important person to me next to Sophia. That’s why you’re trying to rescue him in such an urgent way.
The heart beating wildly with nervousness did not lie either.
“… … Yes, he is a precious person.”
-More than Sophia?
“that… … probably not But I can be sure that you are the most important person next to your sister.”
If you are Endairon, you must be feeling my nervous feelings.
And if I dated Elizabeth and continued to marry her, I might not be able to distinguish between superiority and inferiority between my sister and Elizabeth.
“Anyway, let’s hurry! What!”
I pulled the reins toward the uphill road in the hills.
It is an uphill road with an incline of about 5-10 degrees. Perhaps thanks to frequent use by peddlers, the alleyway was well-groomed.
I crossed the hill at high speed and headed for the field on the other side.
As time passed, the eyes only got darker.
“I have already been contacted. I have prepared the words here… … .”
“okay.”
It’s good that you contacted Albert.
I was able to switch horses right away without wasting time in a small town along the way. An employee of the Ardenne Trading Co., which had settled in the city, had prepared the words in advance.
It was early in the morning, but thanks to that, I was able to leave the city even a few minutes earlier.
How many hours have passed like that?
I arrived at a small village a few hundred meters from Stellin Forest.
– Get some rest. Your body is already exhausted!
“A break is… … !”
– It would be foolish to go into the woods right now. I’ll look into the woods first. So, you should get some sleep at the inn.
From noble mtl dot com
Yesterday at dawn, I stopped by the auction house, and after sleeping, I poured my strength into sword training.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have practiced swordsmanship… … . Why did you do swordsmanship training yesterday?
I clenched my fists tightly, closing my dark eyes.
Will I be able to sleep properly?
However, following the touch of Endairon, I entered the inn and immediately closed my eyes as soon as I lay down on the bed.
‘Right in front of you… … there should be… … .’
* * *
Kenneth closed his eyes.
As he fell into the throes, Endairon placed a hand on his forehead and immediately rose to his feet.
-Don’t go.
Endairon hurriedly slipped through the window and entered Stelin Forest marked on the map.
Some small monsters found in the forest.
And as I went deeper into it, I began to feel alien auras.
-Magic tool… … ? I’ve prepared traps for you, too.
He checked the magic tools installed around him and slightly frowned.
The moment you approach the area, barriers will surround you on all sides.
– Not defense… … . Is it a barrier for confinement?
and after a while
buzz buzz.
A voice coming from somewhere.
Endairon moved in the direction of the voice.
Men in black robes flirting under the trees. They had a conversation about something, and then they started heading somewhere.
‘Let’s follow.’
Endairon immediately followed them.
Perhaps he could find out where Elizabeth was being held.
The huge cave we arrived at.
Endairon was wary of his surroundings and cautiously entered the cave.
“what? Did he pass through Myra City already?”
“I heard that it is… … . Are you really going to keep running without stopping?”
“More than that, the operation will be successful, right?”
“What is the operation… … . Just lock him and the captain in a barrier, and if the captain smashes them head-on, it’s over. And while the captain collides with him, we surround the barrier, and if the captain thinks he will be at a disadvantage… … .”
“Release the barrier and attack all at once?”
“Exactly. How can a kid who is only 14 years old beat that many?”
“Well, that would be it too. If the number is 100 people… … .”
At the church members’ conversation, Endairon jerked his head! turned away
– It wasn’t a particularly great operation.
After mastering the 7th circle, Kaynes became able to use the sword skills of a sword master. That he is only subjected to that kind of operation?
Endairon muttered, ‘A child passing by will laugh at you,’ and immediately began to locate Elizabeth.
-… … Are you here?
A huge space with iron bars. No, it would be more accurate to call it a prison.
Endairon went inside the prison and looked around.
Some people in prison. The whole body was covered in blood.
And, among them, a girl who looks toxic.
-… … .
He went straight to the girl. The girl was lying on the cold floor with her eyes closed.
The moment when the distance to her is less than 1m.
Endairon’s expression hardened.
-Stop, no way… … .
A pale white face. And she couldn’t feel the body temperature of a living person.
Endairon looked at her, then bowed his head and apologized.
-… … sorry.
Did it get hit by something blunt? Or maybe it hit a corner.
There was a large wound on her head.
maybe this is the sign
Endairon assumed she was alive, and advised Kayneth to rest.
but… … . No way, she who was a hostage… … .
Swoop.
Endairon carefully placed Elizabeth’s corpse in the subspace pouch he took out of Kayneth’s bosom.
It was impossible to store life in subspace, but if it was a corpse, the story was different.
After Endairon finished collecting Elizabeth’s body, he hurried back to the inn where Keynes was staying.
-You guys… … You’re inviting demons yourself.
The voice of Endairon, cold as ice.
He glared at the black robes hanging out in the cave as if to kill them.
– Expect to meet the most terrible death in the world.
Some of the church members who could not see Endairon tilted their heads for a moment at the unfamiliar energy that they felt faintly, and then yawned while clearing their ears.
“Haam… … . I think I just heard something… … .”
“Isn’t that the sound of the guys inside talking?”
“… … is it? Well, maybe.”
The church members shrugged their shoulders while tilting their heads.
And about three hours later, Kayneth awoke from soma.
Endairon handed him a glass of water and explained where the enemy bases were and what plans he had in mind.
“The barrier stone traps me so that I cannot escape… … ?”
-Yes, and it seems that about 100 warlocks are surrounding the barrier while the captain collides with you.
“… … Did you think you could stop me with just that kind of strategy?”
– It must mean that there is no need for grandiose traps. They were convinced that you were a 4th Circle mage.
“Yes, I guess. More than that… … Is Elizabeth all right?”
Kenneth asked a question with hardened eyes.
Seeing that, Endairon was silent for a moment.
And after about 10 seconds of silence, he opened his mouth with a dark expression.
-… … she was brought out by me
“… … what?! Uh, where!”
Kayneth jumped up from his seat, startled by Endairon’s answer.
However, the moment Endairon picked up the subspace pouch placed on the table, Kayneth’s face turned into a despairing expression as if the sky had collapsed.
“Why, why, in the current situation, the subspace pocket… … .”
My body began to tremble at the thought of Kayneth’s incomprehensible thought.
And when Endairon took Elizabeth out of the subspace and carefully laid her on the bed, Kayneth’s thoughts stopped.
“ah… … .”
choking breath. At the same time, Keynes’ pupils shook wildly.
Elizabeth’s skin has turned white and her body has become cold.
like sleeping… … . Yes, at the sight of her in a very deep sleep, Keynes unconsciously moved her leg and then grabbed her cold hand.
“Eh, Ellie… … Jabeth?”
A few days ago, she showed a bright smile at the party. She danced while holding her warm hands with a shy look. The girl whom I met for the first time when I was young and exchanged letters… … .
“Ughhhhh!!”
Keynes let out a scream like a madman.
Endairon, who had blocked out the noise beforehand, clenched his fists hard as he looked away from Kayneth.
The despair of Kayneth, who lost someone dear to him, was conveyed to him as well.
The pain of breaking your mind.
-… … .
Kayneth began to cry, clutching Elizabeth’s cold hand.
By his side, Endairon kept quiet.
Had it been like that for 30 minutes?
Keynes, who had been unable to get out of despair for 30 minutes, gnashed his teeth with eyes full of anger.
“Big… … . I will kill you! I will never kill them with ease!”
Two fists with reddened eyes and strong power.
Keynes made an expression that was nothing short of a vendetta.
But Endairon said nothing of his vengeance. Because they committed such a sin.
Warlocks are just demons wearing human masks. They would have no right to live in this middle-earth.
Quaang!
Kayneth stormed out of the inn, kicking the door open.
Then I rode the horse I had left in the stable and galloped into the woods.
Endairon, who had stored Elizabeth’s corpse in subspace, was with him and pointed his finger at the enemy’s stronghold.
and… … Demons invaded the 31st base of the Church of Death Parade located in Stellin Forest.
Chow ah-!
“Aagh!”
“A monster, a monster… … !”
“Eh, run away!”
Base 31 faced an unprecedented crisis.
The sword wielded by Kayneth claimed the lives of numerous church members.
And a church member who turned his head to run away… … .
Awesome!
In an instant, limbs were severed and scattered on the floor.
“Kuaaah! buy, save… … !”
Their begging did not reach Kayneth.
Fu-wook!
“Cheer, cooer… … .”
Kayneth’s sword accurately pierced the uvula.
Fuhuaaak!
As Kayneth drew his sword, a large amount of blood flowed from the church member’s neck.
“Ahhh… … .”
A church member who was terrified at the sight opened his mouth and shuddered. In the blink of an eye, he, who cried out to save his life, also resigned from this world in the blink of an eye.
