4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (74)
A thump, along with the shock wave, the blood-soaked eyes scattered.
I drove my sword into the ground and withstood the blizzard. His body was still a mess, and he could taste the fishy blood whenever he gasped.
The vitality that had been missing before I knew it was circulating in my body. However, this was only a temporary awakening.
It was thanks to the extremely high efficiency of mana in a very short period of time. If all remaining magic power dried up, my life would be over as well.
Fortunately, the ‘corpse giant’ was greatly weakened.
English was unknown.

Judging by the remaining warmth around her, she could only guess that the saintess had done something.
Thank you very much.
No matter how much it was, the corpse giant, who retained the power of the main body, was a formidable enemy. It was the same even if I realized a little bit of the conclusion and the harm.
Because it was weakened, it was possible to continue the battle even with a battered body.
It was a chance.
I had to defeat the corpse giant like this.
However, other people’s judgments were of a different shape.
Before I knew it, there was a woman who ran up to me panting. Her name was Celine, with black hair tied back.
Breathing out a sigh of relief as if she was very lucky, she grabbed my arm without hesitation.
“Everything, I’m glad… Let’s go, brother!”
“… … where?”
I asked back without taking my eyes off the corpse giant.
The corpse giant who allowed me to strike was more cautious.
Seeing him walking quietly and measuring the distance with me, he seemed to recognize me as his adversary.
He was a very no-nonsense guy.
Still, I couldn’t relax.
Due to his small size, his strength was weakened, but he seemed to gain speed instead.
The time lag between when the fist was fired was extremely short.
And above all, its regenerative power.
Compared to before, it was noticeably slower, but the corpse giant was still regenerating.
The arm I scattered was also slowly regaining its shape. If he didn’t destroy the corpse giant with a speed exceeding that resilience, victory was far away.
A thunderstorm was rolling in from the sky.
Lightning flashed and pierced the battlefield. It was to the point of deafening my ears from the binge drinking.
The corpse giant flinched and trembled whenever lightning struck.
Even if it wasn’t an effective hit, it seemed to be a hindrance.
It was probably supported by the Magician Corps of the Rainella family.
Unlike me, who carefully observed the war situation like this, Celine only pounded on my chest as if feeling frustrated.
“Of course we have to return to the evacuation procession! Right now, all of our core forces, including my brother, have left and are on standby! We cannot continue to evacuate without an escort!”
“… … tell them to go first.”
After saying that, I kicked the ground again.
As I ran across the battlefield, the corpse giant was blatantly wary. At the same time as my leap, the corpse giant swung his fist again.
Of course, the results were not different from before.
A certain scene overlapped between the blurred vision.
It was a burning Great Forest.
Amidst the burning wreckage, the man staggered along.
The woman said while stroking her cheek.
She was a beauty with dark hair, light green eyes, and a mature appearance that made you feel unfamiliar.
She said.
“… … It’s first.”
“Sorry, sorry… sorry. Master.”
Stumbling, the man grasped the woman’s hand with both hands.
No, it’s not the man, it’s me.
My reddened eyes from crying and crying were painfully painful.
“I’m too late… Buy, buy and sell. Master too… … .”
“You’re an ugly great disciple. It’s because the man has so many tears.”
There were huge pits dug all over the forest.
No, should I say forest?
In the aftermath of the two strongmen colliding, nothing was left around. There were no trees, no grass, nothing, only flames surrounding the place.
I saw another woman on the other side, groaning and collapsing.
At first glance, the face resembled that of the teacher.
The teacher called the vampire ‘sister’.
It was not a metaphor, but a blood relationship. So she couldn’t bear to leave the Great Forest.
“Okay, it was a knot I had to untie anyway… At least, he doesn’t leave a lasting impression before he dies. It’s fortunate, I’ll settle the one grudge I’ll pass on to you and go.”
“I-I’m weak… … .”
The teacher’s light green eyes stared blankly at me.
“… … Because I’m weak, I can’t protect anything.”
Whoa, the master let out a long breath.
She blankly looked up at the sky.
“Are you angry?”
I couldn’t answer because I was crying.
A groaning sound reverberated in my chest.
“Because they are low-class nobles who have nothing, and the talents they have are not outstanding… … .”
“… … yes.”
It was a barely concocted answer.
I lost my sister-in-law, and I was on the verge of losing my teacher as well.
How can there be no limit?
I let go of my tears as mud vomits up water.
Master said in a low voice.
“… … We will divide a lot in the future.”
I had a hunch.
That this would be the teacher’s last lesson.
“It is a cruel and terrible world. Those who have have more, and those who do not have endlessly lose… Because of that, Delphirem was born.”
Master then gave me a sneaky glance.
It’s been several years since we’ve been together.
It wasn’t me who didn’t know what that meant.
With trembling hands, I rummaged through my chest, took out a pipe, and popped it into my master’s mouth.
Then put dried tobacco in it and light the flames once.
Fuuuu, smoke came out of the master’s mouth.
“Those who have it cannot beat Delphirem. Me too, the emperor of the empire, the saintess of the holy kingdom… And those who don’t have it will stand on the side of Delphirem.”
It was an unexpected story.
Even so, I listened attentively so as not to miss each word.
These were the last words of the Master.
As a disciple, I had an obligation to keep it in my heart.
“… … So you do.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I chose silence.
He just looked at his master without saying a word.
She smiled softly.
“Crash, fall, fall… Then you will see the answer. From the first time I saw you, I felt a ‘fateful intuition’.”
These were the words the master always used.
I thought it was a ‘fateful intuition’ that I just spit out casually.
He was the same person until the day he died.
So it was even more sad.
It was a situation where you had to leave two precious people.
It was strange if my heart wasn’t sore.
It was then that I felt a sudden popularity.
Wriggling, the fallen woman staggered to her feet.
It was a ‘vampire’.
“Not yet, yet… … .”
There was a faint smell of blood in his voice.
At first glance, it looked like a single flower, but I instinctively felt it.
That woman was dangerous.
The eyes were half out of focus, but the dark life felt inside gave me goosebumps.
Blood flowed endlessly from her body.
It was an amount that a normal human would have to die of blood loss. Nevertheless, there was no change in the woman’s complexion.
That was all I had to do.
Because she wasn’t human.
The vampire said with an alluring smile.
“Brother, it’s been hundreds of years… But our meeting can’t be this short, can it?”
The master let out a deep sigh with a confused expression on his face.
“Come on, you’re not even giving me time to say goodbye to your student… … .”
The time I hesitated, wondering if I should avoid the seat again.
said the Master.
“… … Take a good look.”
The teacher’s index finger moved along with the exhaled cigarette smoke.
Following that guidance, magic began to gather in the air.
It was not visible. Only the senses that transcended the five senses testified.
there’s something there
As the density of condensed mana increased, the atmosphere trembled and let out cries.
“Because it’s only once.”
It was then that the perspective changed.
Before I knew it, I was leaving the great forest and facing the corpse giant.
No, the fist of a corpse giant.
The sword light exploded and randomly drew solid lines on the giant’s fist.
And soon after, the blood that bursts out, and the corpses pouring down.
They were the remains of the corpse giant’s fist until just before that.
It was a counterattack before he could close to me, but the corpse giant was not stupid despite his appearance.
Another fist flew at me in quick succession.
There was no time to counterattack.
So I raised my sword and concentrated my mana.
The man in my memory called this ‘gyeol(結)’.
Standing alone among the myriad streams that make up the world.
It wasn’t just the atmosphere that was circulating.
Time, space, and power and magic also had their own flow.
If you could read the flow, you could tell the difference between a strong wave and a weak wave.
Gyeol was the art of cutting through the delicate waves.

Just like putting a pebble to split a water path.
The only problem was that I hadn’t mastered flow yet.
There was a thud, and a fierce shockwave tore through the atmosphere.
It meant I wasn’t being pushed unilaterally.
But the corpse giant was on the ground, and I had no stepping stones. In the end, I was the one who could not overcome the collision and bounced off.
I swear inwardly.
I think you should look at it a little bit more.
