151 – How to deal with monsters?
“ha… ha… .”
Blurred eyes.
Arms created with magical energy flickered and shook as if they would disappear at any moment.
“Grrr… !!”
Look at the lion in front of you.
The class is different. The lion’s skin could not be pierced even with magic armor, and it moves as if nothing happened even though it ate poison through its mouth.
“… Surely this is the womb of that legendary monster?”
If that’s the case, if it’s a lion born there, there’s only one monster I know of.
The lion of Nemea who struggled with the great hero Heracles for 30 days… It’s probably not as strong as when it appeared in the legend, since it’s a monster that’s barely my size, but it’s to this extent.
“Didn’t the legend say that Hercules strangled that monster after fighting for 30 days?”
I don’t have that talent.
I could easily strangle a human’s neck, but I’m not big enough to grab that monster’s neck.
Then how should I kill that monster?
Whoo!!
The dagger thrown with magical energy couldn’t make a single scratch on the lion’s skin. Even though I was still young, the Nemean lion saw me and smiled as if to prove that the hardness of its skin was still the same.
Yes, there is currently no way for me to kill that lion.
“… If you can’t make a scratch on the leather with a sword made of magical power, you can’t help but laugh at it.”
If it was Lian’s magical power of destruction, it might have been possible to kill that Nemean lion. No, there would be plenty of ways to kill that lion if there was only Neros’ command.
Then where is my usefulness?
As a knight, there is no need to be ashamed of being weaker than your lord. It’s not because I’m lazy, it’s just that my master, Rian, puts in a lot more effort than I do.
I’m not even jealous… But what use is it to a knight who is easily defeated by enemies?
No matter how strong a person is, he has a bodyguard by his side. However, if you lose the fight against the person you protect, the article is useless if you lose to the enemy as well.
Knights are those who use their swords to protect someone.
“Whoa.”
As I take a step closer to the grinning Nemean lion, the other side opens its mouth as if it had waited and strikes me with its ferocious teeth.
Pooh!!
The teeth of the Nemean lion pierced my skin and drove it deep.
Seeing that, I thought it was over, but the Nemean lion made its eyes crescent-shaped and tried to open its mouth to completely rip my arm off.
“Are you going to leave it like that?”
Bright red blood flowed from the properly bitten arm.
For a moment I thought that I wanted to run away from the lion’s mouth right now, but it was too late.
“At the point of being saved… I am already late.”
When she was freed from the Reinhard family’s imprint, she swore never to become a doll again.
I didn’t want to experience the experience of abandoning my will because I was manipulated by such magic again. But to my dismay, I swore to become Lian’s knight.
Why did you come under his command when you said you didn’t want to experience being dominated by someone?
If I didn’t want to be forced by someone anymore, if I had abandoned my family and ran away, no one would have come looking for me.
Although I was the daughter of a marquis, I was not loved by my family.
The Iris family is a family that always produces excellent knights, and is known externally that they value military power above all else, but they always value gender more than military force.
‘Isn’t it natural that men have strong basic powers’
Yes, the damn father is right.
The era before magic appeared. Women were meant to be protected, not to protect anyone.
From the bone, it was weak compared to men. It was a body that was more prone to fat than muscle, and because it was a body that had to make a child, the uterus was not supposed to be injured.
Although this idea has largely disappeared with the advent of magical powers, this tradition still remains in the knights’ families.
‘A fragile thing.’
‘Are you going to be a knight? Don’t be funny.’
‘Four years is not a knight, but like a mother, we need to receive the seed of a good family and create the foundation for our family to grow.
“f*ck it!”
It was as if I could hear the voices of my damn father and older brothers from the past.
Yes, I’m weaker than Ryan. But I’m no longer the frail woman you used to know.
When the mana explodes from the hand that entered the Nemean Lion’s mouth, he twists his body and struggles, as if it seems to work properly differently from before.
Of course, my body, which was caught up in it, was also crushed by the giant, and the pain was transmitted to my body… It’s not to the extent that I can’t stand it.
“Grrr!! Kwaaang!!”
“f*ck! It’s shutting up!!”
My mind goes a little blank.
Swear words that normally wouldn’t come out of his mouth came out, and his face smiled like a madman.
I don’t know why he’s smiling, but the smile doesn’t disappear from his face.
“okay! You seem to be weak on the inside too!?”
Pew!!
The magical power flowing through his hand created a huge spear, and the pure white spear ravaged the inside of the Nemean lion.
Spears, daggers, long swords, axes, sickles. The cold weapons that pop up in my head are continuously spewing out of my hands.
The Nemean Lion stares at me blindly.
I didn’t say that I would kill you, but from the glare of the eyes, there was a strong life force that even a half-mad man could feel lightly.
“Do you want to kill me?”
Quadruped!!
But will I kill you first?
As I tore the muscles on the gum side and both cheeks with a magical dagger, the pressure on the teeth in my arm disappeared a little.
Quaang!!
“Keugh!”

Just as I was about to attack, the Nemean lion stomped me with its huge paws and punctured my stomach with its huge claws.
It seems that the armor was made with magical power earlier, right?
No, it doesn’t matter anyway.
When I tried to stop my nails from coming in while tightening my stomach, it was blocked differently than I thought. Just like when I cut Nemea’s skin, when a proper attack doesn’t go in, it reacts from the other side.
“!?”
It was as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
To be honest, I was also surprised. I knew my body had grown stronger, but I never thought I’d grown enough to stop the legendary monster’s claws.
“die! Hurry up and find out!!!”
“Kuweek!”
As pure white light emanated from the Nemean lion’s mouth, the lion’s black eyes turned red.
As expected, I couldn’t break the skin and bones, but the extremely fragile flesh was torn by the weapon I created.
“ha… ha… .”
As I tore all the muscles around my mouth, my free arm flows out like water.
The bones are fortunately intact, but the teeth marks on the arm and the wounds from the weapon I made made it difficult for me to properly.
“Shouldn’t you have gotten a potion from Lian?”
I laid down my arm, which had already become impossible to use, and looked at the Nemean lion. Where did the laughing figure from earlier disappear… .
The Nemean Lion was looking at me with a murderous look, so I charged again while moving my broken arm with magical power.
“!!!”
The Nemean lion, who was holding his mouth shut as if he would not hand it over this time, lifted his paw and swung it at me.
He barely bent his back and opened his mouth while avoiding the paws.
“Sick.”
At the words full of laughter, the Nemean lion looked at me with puzzled eyes.
When I laughed, the Nemean lion pulled back, perhaps realizing that the muscles in his mouth had collapsed, but it was too late.
“Huh!!!”
I somehow gathered the mana that hit the ground and put the spear I created into the mouth of the Nemean lion.
Fu-wook!
The spear deeply embedded in the Nemean Lion’s heart was penetrated, but it did not enter the heart. Knowing that, the Nemean Lion swung his front paws as he pulled his body back to separate me.
“yet.”
Blood flows from the mouth.
I had heard from the Reinhard family before that it was theoretically possible, but when it came to realization, it was definitely not used in ordinary cases.
wooong!!!
When the spear created with magic explodes, fragments of the spear spread throughout the heart and Nemean Lion’s body.
“Kuhheh!!”
Blood gushed out of my mouth, but I raised my hand and burst the fragments of the spear embedded in the body of the Nemean lion once more.
Pew!!!
“Kuweek!!!”
The Nemean Lion struggles and launches a final attack at me, but I’m not done either.
“Kuweeaek!!!!”
Wooo!!!!!
… It was quiet.
In the silence that followed the huge explosion, I closed my eyes without holding on to my drifting mind.
Please earnestly hope that this is fainting, not death.
