5 – 2. Devil’s Land, Combat (1)
‘fast.’
The moment I saw Ruth’s fist, I sensed something strange.
It is incomparably faster than before.
There is a familiar energy at your fingertips.
‘Is it a chakra?’
Chakra.
The level that must be reached in order to become a competent person.
Depending on the speed and size of the disk, a scale of strength is divided.
But it doesn’t work well in the current situation.
The reason is simple. Because they are dangerous to each other.
In addition to that, I’m sure I’m turning my chakra, but I don’t have any murderous intent.
That doesn’t mean the attack was genuine.
However, as a skilled person, the result of doing my best without knowing it.
‘If I fight back here, I will die unconditionally.’
After his body has already moved reflexively.
All you have to do is dig down and extend your fist once.
Your ribs will be crushed and your intestines broken.
‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’
If it’s an enemy, I don’t know.
The other person was Ruth, who had been talking with a smile a while ago.
What should I say, since I have no intention of killing?
So, Adele just rolls her body.
I decided to give the opponent a hand.
“Ruth!”
“ah!”
After rolling on the ground a few times, I got up.
When I turned my head, I saw people staring blankly at me.
“Did you even use the chakra?”
“… Ahhh! sorry, sorry… .”
“You madman!”
The apple that came out of Ruth’s mouth never came out.
The knights who were watching Dalian gathered around them.
Before Ruth could even speak, she started to step on it mercilessly.
“Are you using chakra there!”
“Keuk!”
“Wasn’t that the young man you saved? why. Are you trying to assassinate me?”
“You get special treatment when you go back. You bastard!”
“Mi, sorry! I’m sorry guys!”
“Apologize to him, not us!”
Adele looked at Ruth who was being bullied.
Then he turned his head to the gaze that was looking at him.
“… .”
“… ah.”
The only person who meets Adele’s eyes is none other than Shien.
She sighed and quickly looked away.
Adele had to shake her head.
‘… crazy.’

Meanwhile, Brenda was swearing inwardly.
Not from negative reasons.
It came as a bit of a rough compliment.
‘What is it just now? Did you see it in front of your eyes and avoid it?’
Others will consider Adele lucky to have avoided it.
Even Brander himself thought so for a moment.
But if you’re really lucky to avoid it.
What are the extremely calm eyes?
What was the hand behind the body the moment he pulled it out?
‘Can you even seize the opportunity to counterattack? But did you get bitten by that?’
A knight, that young man must be a knight.
Otherwise, you cannot avoid the chakra-turning knight’s attack.
Brenda thought so and glared at Adele.
Recently, in order to somehow learn Lichtenauer’s swordsmanship.
So, a large number of people who wanted to make a name for themselves flocked to it.
However, Lichtenau’s knightly exams are harsh.
Because some people do not go through fair competition.
I tried to get a snow stamp from a member of the Lichtenauer.
And now, Adele was looking just like that.
‘I’ll have to tell Shien-nim and ask him to be careful.’
From Adele’s point of view, it would be absurd.
And from Blender’s point of view, it has no choice but to do so.
Confidence was added to doubt, only misunderstandings were growing.
* * *
Lichtenauer is a renowned swordsman.
And Shien, the bloodline of Lichtenauer, too.
Befitting the name of the family, he possessed considerable skills.
Even she admired it.
The situation just before was astonishing.
‘I spilled an article using chakra.’
It’s usually not a skill at all.
No matter how bad it is, it should be at the level of an attendant under a knight.
Come to think of it, I heard this when I was living in the capital.
There are some people who have quit being servants due to unavoidable circumstances.
It is said that they were active as regular soldiers because they were outstanding.
However, they wanted to hide the fact that they could not become an article.
It does not reveal the fact that it was an attendant.
‘He’s a person who can’t say something.’
Shien is having another misunderstanding with Brander.
Brenda is aware of Lichtenauer’s situation, so he is wary.
Shien, who was not yet familiar with the family situation, was just curious.
So when Brender came to visit him.
She couldn’t guess why.
“Shin-nim.”
“Yes, Captain. Do you have anything to say?”
“in fact… .”
Brenda is about to open her mouth.
Koo Goo Goo!!!-
The world shakes and knocks everything on the ground.
A deafening roar followed.
Quaang!!-
“Oops!”
“Shien-sama!”
Brenda, who hastily grabbed his master, took stock of the situation.
The ground shakes like an earthquake, and a roar reverberates.
It was a sign of disaster that human beings would most hate to encounter.
“Captain. Maybe this… .”
“It is a sign of the devil’s eye. I thought I had calmed down because I hadn’t been in a while lately!”
The stronghold of demons, the mouth of hell, the abyss.
The cursed thing was opening its mouth once again.
“leader! Captain! Demonic Appearance! The demonic realm has appeared!”
“Wake! The monsters will pour out soon! Gather your wagons and civilians to the center and stay dustproof! Since the family is not far away, reinforcements will arrive soon. Wait a minute, just hold on for a second!”
There is Lichtenauer not far away.
They must have detected abnormal signs there as well.
The demonic spectacle continues to spit out demonic beasts, so it must be destroyed as soon as it is created.
So, if you know the location, the family’s troops will rush in right away.
As long as you hold on until then, you won’t have any problems.
‘What I’m worried about is… It’s the level of the Demonic Realm.’
I hope the light that bursts out is gray or blue.
Although I don’t think Lichtenau’s knights are weak.
Because of the lack of numbers, high-ranking Demonic Realms are too dangerous.
“The Devil’s Land Appears!”
“location!”
“At 11 o’clock! Not far! You can even see it with the naked eye!”
Brenda turned her head right away.
At first, there was a dull gray aura.
So, I thought it would be the easiest level 5 demon.
However, the gray aura soon disappears, and the blue light stays.
Yes, it’s fine until there. just go there
Brender and the knights all prayed for that.
Unfortunately, the reality was not so rosy.
“sh*t!”
“Damn it!”
The energy changes from blue to red.
It was a light hinting at the appearance of a third-class demonic world.
At the same time, another roar is heard and the abyss opens its mouth.
Kiek!!-
Kihehehehe!!-
From beyond, grotesque cries were heard.
“… Shien.”
If it’s a level 3 monster, it’s quite difficult.
No matter how much he is a knight of Lichtenau.
The number of articles is too small, and on the contrary, there are many to protect.
It was difficult to handle all the quantity pouring out of the Devil’s Nest.
“Getting out… .”
After a few minutes, level 3 monsters will come in.
It is incomparably stronger and terrifying than a 5th grade monster.
Even if the knights did their best, there could be an if.
“… .”
For Shien, who had been almost killed by a demon in the past.
I was so afraid that I wanted to run away right away.
From nob le mt l. co m
My heart beats like it’s about to burst and my body trembles.
“… no.”
But even more terrifying than that beast.
To betray and turn around those who believe in you.
And to blame yourself for running away without fighting together.
“As the captain said, reinforcements will come soon. Until then… Just hold on until then.”
“… All right. I will do my best.”
The master’s will has been decided.
If that’s the case, what’s left is that article.
I was just doing what I had to do.
“Prepare for battle!!”
“For Liechtenauer!”
* * *
The first bump was barely withstood.
However, the beasts’ charge was devastating.
The knights collapsed in the second blow that followed.
The problem was that the defense line was too thin because there were so few numbers.
“aaa!!”
“Protect the civilians! Drop them!”
“Aww!!”
People screaming and knights screeching.
And the screams of the hungry monsters filled the field.
Only 10 minutes had passed, and hell was already unfolding.
“Ha!”
Shien, who had already separated from Blender, vigorously swung his sword.
Although I can’t say I’m strong.
Still, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t fight the demons.
It is at the level of protecting oneself and, furthermore, protecting someone else.
‘It’s a big deal! It was pierced too quickly!’
A large piece of ice does not melt well on water.
But when the ice breaks a few times, then the words are different.
The situation was just like that now.
The knights still stood firm, but all scattered.
Instead of just looking ahead, now you have to look all around.
Kieeck!!-
Was it that my thoughts increased?
Shien managed to avoid the demon that was aiming for his back.
“Keep it off… .”
However, I couldn’t help it with its claws running across my back.
The body bends forward with a sharp pain.
“Wow!!”
“aaa!!”
Screams rage from all sides.
There was no way to know whether it belonged to a knight or a powerless civilian.
Kyaaa!!-
Another demon beast aims at Shien.
Fortunately, her sword was a little faster than his yellow teeth.
“Oh no!”
However, he resisted even to the point of death.
This time, I had a fairly large wound on my thigh.
Shien, staggering, collapsed into his seat.
I have to move, I have to fight more.
I have to do that, but my body won’t follow me.
“dad!”
A few civilians were cornered in front of me.
A middle-aged man took a pole and swung it around, but it was not enough.
“Turn it off!”
He forcibly raises his bleeding leg.
Although not voluntarily, he is now the master of Lichtenau.
It is to replace the father and brother who passed away first.
Why did they give up their precious lives?
It’s because I fought to the end without turning back to protect it.
Upholding the honor of the family and fulfilling the duties of a nobleman.
Just with a sense of mission to protect those in my arms.
I acted without shame and accepted the ending.
“aaa!!”
She threw herself right at the monster.
Quaang!-
Shien, unable to overcome the shock, collapses.
Are you surprised by the sudden rush?
The Demon Beast looked at her with a slightly perplexed expression.
However, he soon realizes that humans, who are only prey, have done something stupid.
Krrr… .
A demonic beast that turned its target from the people in front of it to Shien.
The guy jumped at Shien who was getting up from his seat.
At that moment, Shien bit her lip and closed her eyes.
Kwajik!-
“… .”
something strange
Instead of feeling sick, I feel like I’m not there.
“… It could have been a big deal.”
It’s a familiar voice.
Shien opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Did you already go through a battle on your way here?
With the monster’s blood all over his body.
Adele was blocking the gap between herself and the Witchbeast.
“Why did you do that?”
“… yes?”
“You don’t have to.”
Even though there is a demon right in front of it.
Adele was quietly asking questions.
“You don’t have to fight, do you?”
Why did you do that? why did you jump in?
It’s obvious, it’s a very obvious question.
I’m scared, I’m afraid, I want to run away.
I know I shouldn’t.
“… Because that’s how it should be. Because it has to be.”
If someone had to die today.
it has to be me
Just like my father did and my brother did.
That’s because it’s the family head of Lichtenau.
