88. chase (2)
“Are you out of your mind?”
When Yvon regained consciousness, a bald adventurer was looking down at him. Yvon stood up, clutching his pounding head. Ping, dizziness came to my head again, and the adventurer’s hand supported Yvonne, who was about to collapse. Yvon’s struggle to get out of that grasp was easily stopped.
“No no.”
Yvon looked at the adventurer with unfocused eyes and spoke gibberish. The blood that flowed from his forehead hardened around his eyes, leaving ugly marks.
“Miss, I have to go find Lady Marion… .”
“I won’t be able to move anywhere with that body.”
Pierre calmly said to Yvon, who moved his trembling hands. Meanwhile, the escort knight struggled to get away from Pierre.
“My lady… !”
“First, calm down and listen.”
Tendons sprouted from Pierre’s forehead. The escort knight bit his lip reluctantly. Blood was pouring out of Yvon’s mouth, and focus was returning to his loose eyes. Pierre stuck his tongue out inwardly at that ignorant trick.
“The lady has been kidnapped. I have to go get it… !”
“Damn it, besides you, there is another guy who lost his mind first and chased after him like a mad dog. I know you’ve come to your senses, but you’d better go to the castle gate and do something else.”
Pierre’s words were assembled piece by piece in Yvon’s head. Yvon’s expression went blank after not understanding the words for a while.
“What does that mean… Chasing after you, who the hell is doing what?”
The adventurer, whose gaze had disappeared from Pierre, was looking down the downhill road where he was on the chase.
“An adventurer is chasing the wagon that the lady is believed to have been kidnapped. It must be quite far already, so the priority is to take the shortcut to the gate and block the way the wagon escapes.”
“With only one adventurer… I’ll go after it, so you tell the guards.”
Yvon gritted his teeth and stood up, and Pierre let out a sigh.
“As a knight belonging to this territory, the guards will at least listen to you if you are present. And, the guy who chased that carriage.”
Pierre looked at Yvon with narrow eyes.
“At least he’ll be faster and stronger than you.”

Maxim’s eyes caught the fugitives.
There were two wagons running away. They were running down the straight alleys of Murat at high speed, choosing different paths. Although it was fast, it was not running away with all its might, but it was trying to get out of the place secretly, keeping a line that people would not be surprised by.
It must have been to go out to the main road and join the other wagons to sneak out of Murat, or to move to a hidden location.
Murat’s tallest building. Maxim stands on the clock tower of the church and stares at the two carriages going downhill. It was black now, but there was a bright light in his eyes. In the darkening afternoon sun, those two eyes seemed to shine bright red.
Mana flowed from Maxim’s legs. The ground under the soles of his feet, where the leg power was concentrated, cracked with a crackling sound. Which of the two will you pursue? Maxim did not think long.
Both should not be missed.
bang!
The sound of cannonballs resounded from the bell tower of the church. Maxim’s feet exploded, shaking the church. The huge bell of the church tilted at the resilience of the cannonball called Maxim, and it let out a heavy cry that signaled the time out of nowhere.
Deng- Deng- Deeng… .
The loud sound of the bell fades away in an instant and remains in my ears as a lingering reverberation. Maxim became flesh shot from the bow and flew away scattering shockwaves.
one leap. The distance between Maxim and the two wagons quickly closed. Maxim aimed at the building lined up right in the middle of the road where the two carriages parted. The wind blew like a knife around Maxim. No, it would be more accurate to say that Maxim had become a sword and was cutting the wind.
The moment of landing was smooth and stable, as if only that moment had been cut out and the flow of time had been slowed down. However, Maxim’s leap forward in the next moment shattered even the false image created by that moment and made Maxim move forward with ferocity.
bang!
The roof was blown off by Maxim’s foot. Maxim, who pictured the course he was going to run through in a moment, ran through Murat’s sky without hesitation. His eyes were on the two carriages approaching.
Rumble-!
The one-eyed spy sitting in the driver’s seat tilted his head. The wagon rattled and swayed ominously, even though it was driving on a well-paved road.
“Why is this like this?”
It wasn’t even that he was burning hostages. The speed was also quite fast for going downhill, but it wasn’t too fast to the point where it was too much for the carriage. All that remains is to assume that there is a problem with the wagon, and if so, it becomes quite difficult.
“The horse is a bit excited about something… .”
Should I slow down my running speed?
It was the moment the spy pondered. A small gust of wind suddenly blew in the same direction as the wagon, and swept the spy’s back.
“What is it, what kind of wind is it?”
The spy looked back and froze. From far away, with the sun at its back, black ‘something’ was flying in. no way. probably not It must be that her tired eyes misunderstood and were showing something empty.
Gradually, it was getting closer. The hand holding the reins of the carriage began to tremble with the memory of the body. Hundreds of thoughts filled the spy’s head, and he deduced the identity of the shadow. Of course, without reasoning, that series of thoughts reached the same conclusion.
It’s him.
I don’t know why now, why it appeared again at this critical moment, but it was definitely that bastard that was chasing the wagon now. The shadows were sliding down as if gliding through the air. It was a speed that was doubtful whether the speed that a person could achieve was correct. It stayed like this for a few minutes, no, it wasn’t even a few minutes. Even if it is maintained for a few tens of seconds, it catches up.
The thought of wanting to run away and the thought of having to succeed in the mission were combined, and the action that appeared was very simple.
“F*ck!”
The whip that cut through the air along with nausea caused the carriage to accelerate. Even faster, the one-eyed spy muttered inwardly. You can’t get caught by him now. please run
Fortunately, the horses did not cross each other’s feet and ran well. The wagon rattled even harder, sending the spy into the air several times, but he didn’t care. How many steps are left? Are you catching up?
bang.
I heard something explode. The presence gets closer. It was getting closer faster than any other word in the world. The complexion of the one-eyed one-eyed was tired of being white, so he died of blue. The pounding heart was unfamiliar to him, as if it didn’t belong to him now.
The one-eyed one-eyed moved the reins with one hand and searched for the bosom. A small stick-like texture touched his hand, and he desperately grabbed it and pulled it out of his bosom. A flute to blow in a situation where support is needed. One-Eye knew that it was his only way out.
I don’t know if the three of us will be able to catch that monster’s ankle, but we had to put our hopes on it.
The one-eyed man put a flute made of animal bones in his mouth and suddenly blew air into it.
—
A carriage running on the left accelerates. It was speeding up to the point where there was a clear difference from the wagon that was running together on the right, and was leading the way. At the runaway carriage, people were frightened and attached themselves to both edges of the street.
not that guy
That’s what Maxim thought when he saw the carriage suddenly accelerating. If hostages were on board, it would not be possible to accelerate with the momentum to break the wagon or topple the horse. If the horse stumbled and fell, it would be like a disaster.
Maxim gathered strength in his legs to accelerate the new model. Cracks appeared wherever Maxim’s feet touched. It seemed that Maxim’s speed, which was sliding down, slowed down for an instant, and then exploded on the ground again and flew away.
‘… What is that?’
Maxim narrowed his eyes. The coachman of the rapidly accelerating carriage suddenly took something out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Beep-!!
A sharp sound resounded through the streets of Murat with the momentum to pierce the deaf ears and tear the eardrums. Maxim frowned at the unpleasant noise.
“what… .”
swish
Maxim’s vision caught something flying blurry. There was no time to slow down to stop it. Maxim pulled out the sword from his waist. At the same time, he cut the daggers flying from both sides. In-yeong stood up on the roof-lined road where Maxim was running.
The number of people is three. Each of them was holding a short sword for one hand. A spy muttered as he looked at Maksim, who was running towards him. There was still plenty of room in that expression. The blade leaning on his shoulder was swaying as if to represent that composure.
“Is that the guy who was talking about peeing in his pants because he was afraid of our one-eyed bastard?”
“It is fast. I’ll have to fight to see if it’s that strong… .”
“Tsk. I was nervous from the moment I asked to change the execution date. You got a strange guy.”
It was strange. One of the spies narrowed his brows.
“That bastard… , not slowing down?”
“You have to block it with your body. How long can he last even if he has to endure it?”
The spy, who fixed his sword while making a sound, widened his eyes.
“I go first.”
Before the other two could stop, one of the spies ran out. With the light movements of a spy, holding the sword in reverse, he seeks an opportunity to suffocate the oncoming enemy.
The distance between each other is ten steps.
The spy measured the distance from the approaching guy and raised the tip of his mouth. Within three steps was his own distance. From now on, if that guy comes eight steps further, and if he advances that far, his sharp dagger will surely cut off the breath of an adventurer who does not even know his subject.

Nine, eight, seven, six.
The spy counted inwardly and took a step. come, come The spy’s vision was blurry, and only that black shadow approaching was clearly fixed.
Five, four, three, two.
come!
The spy’s hand moved so fast that he couldn’t even see it. The tip of the sword drew a rapid trajectory, shining fangs like a poisonous snake. It didn’t matter if you covered your neck with a hood. His own sword will pierce him and lodge in his neck, making him say goodbye to this world without knowing that he is dead.
squeak.
The sound of the blade piercing the fabric was clearly heard in the spy’s ears. As usual, there was no feeling in the hands that swiftly brought death to the enemy. The bright red blood splashed drop by drop and splattered in the air like rainwater.
Tsk. cowardly bastard. With this no-nonsense guy.
What caught the spy’s gaze was someone’s open hand. Looking closely, it seemed that it was a hand I had seen many times.
what. why is my hand there
That was the spy’s last thought.
“crazy… .”
The guy who ran forward excitedly alone was slaughtered. The body split into two at the waist, and before one knew it, the arm holding the sword was flying in the air, and the left leg had been cut exactly in half and was spinning in the air spraying blood.
“Hey, don’t you have to step back on this… .”
That was when the two spies turned and prepared to run away.
The blade is right in front of your eyes.
when? how? who’s the other one?
There was no time to question. There was blood on the floor. He didn’t have to check to see what had happened to the spy he was trying to escape with. The droplets of blood on the flying silver blade gleamed as terrifyingly as the blade’s sharpness.
“Keuk… !”
Like a thunderbolt, the sword was from top to bottom, all the way down. He raised his short sword and took it away, but the spy immediately regretted it. The weight of the sword supported by both hands was something he could not bear. The blade creaked and made an ominous sound.
“this… , crazy… !”
blank.
Waiting for the spy who barely deflected the sword was pain that radiated throughout his body. Maxim’s hand turned into a blurry afterimage and stirred the air several times.
“Keoouk!!”

Not cut. The spy had such a question even in the pain of cutting all the muscles in his limbs. And soon, the question was erased in other pain.
puck.
“Ouch… !!”
Pain as if the right shoulder was completely pierced. Shaking his head, he looked to his right and saw that his own sword had completely penetrated his right shoulder and had driven himself into the roof like an awl.
“It’s good to be quiet.”
A gloved fist flew into the sight of the spy who was gasping for breath.
—
The carriage was running.
The spy sitting in the driver’s seat, no, the knight of Beninga, couldn’t hide his nervousness. After hearing the sound of a flute calling for personnel, there was too little news. momentary fuss. An intermittent scream. It has been silent ever since.
“Damn it… !”
couldn’t accelerate If the wagon ran faster than this while carrying hostages, the wagon could overturn. Do I have to get out of the way somehow? No, it would be a bigger problem if there was a commotion on the main street.
A human figure passed in front of the wagon, which was just going downhill with nowhere to go.
“Oh, sir… !”
thud.
A shadow falls in front of the carriage,
hee hee hee-!
The horses raised their hooves and ran amok. Thanks to that, Beninga’s knight, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, lost his balance and bounced off, landing unsteadily on the floor.
rolling around.
What rolled in front of him was the supply and demand of the one-eyed man who couldn’t change his terrified expression until the end.
“The bullsh*t that the hostages aren’t here doesn’t work.”
The voice was dry. The knight of Beninga gasped and raised his head. Hood. Hood’s Adventurer.
In the setting sun, the dimly visible black eyes were bright red.
“You’d better not expect to die comfortably.”
