173 – Yoru (2)
“Why don’t you fight?”
At the bottom of the ridge, in the white snow field, a woman in particularly striking attire muttered maliciously.
‘Wasn’t it a siege to capture them?’
He was puzzled by the disappearance of the view he felt from the top of the ridge. However, even though the immediate threat had disappeared, my sharpened senses did not calm down at all.
It’s not because of the guys who keep chasing me from behind.
It wasn’t because I had no choice but to break up with Natalia.
Her aggressive and spontaneous nature,
Her spirit of victory, which has been despised for hundreds and thousands of years for not being able to abandon barbarian blood,
This is because he kept encouraging me to fight.

Of course, Yoru was not a fool, so he knew well that he should not fight, even if he pulled out and put his sword back. If she were being chased alone, she would have willingly faced her pursuers, but Yoru kept noticing the presence of Natalia, with whom she had shared many hardships since childhood.
Since Natalia is not a blood relative of Sileia, it is difficult for her to protect herself in battle with the knights. Constantly aware of that fact, Yoru was barely able to move his body into rational action.
Leading his pursuers into a remote area was also the result of rational thinking.
With her skills, she could have left no traces in the snow, eluded the chase, and disappeared, but Yoru personally carved deep footprints in the snow so that the pursuers would follow her.
Until I confirmed that there was no further way forward.
“…What kind of cliff?”
For a moment, I thought about crossing the ground to the other side of the spur with all my might, but the distance was too far for that to happen.
There was darkness at the bottom of the cliff, where he didn’t know if he would be safe if he fell, and Yoru felt a tingling sensation in his spine.
‘I want to go to the bathroom… but I don’t think I can.’
Yoru turned towards the approaching crowd with a vain expression on his face. Two, four, six, ten… Fourteen knights were approaching and surrounding Yoru.
It wasn’t a number that could be easily dealt with, but Yoru was relieved. This was because no one was attached to Natalia, and everyone was chasing Yoru.
“thank god.”
“…What’s so good about it?”
Eugen, the man with thirteen knights in tow, asked irritably.
“You are under siege. What’s more, there is an endless cliff behind you, and you must be exhausted both physically and mentally from being chased for a week. And yet, you are acting like this with no basis for yourself.”
“I have sharp eyes. You don’t have to tell me what you know.”
Yoru sighed and joked.
“But isn’t it too much of a leap to have unfounded confidence?”
“…”
“You guys were so scared of me.”
“…Stop talking nonsense.”
“That’s bullsh*t, you guys scared me. The fact that you didn’t rush in and measured the distance is proof of that.”
They even surrounded them and even drew their swords and surrounded them with strong flags, but none of them attacked first. Yoru laughed at his appearance like a scared one-day puppy.
and.
“Wow!!”
A loud shout. The knights inadvertently flinched at that. Among them, there was one who even took a step backwards, which made Yoru really happy.
“I only did it with all my might, but I guess it’s embarrassing to the knights, huh?”
“Shut up, you barbarian. Shame is an emotion you only feel when dealing with fellow humans.”
“…You’re being damned again, you bastard.”
Yoru distorted his giggling face and swore.
savage. They never called the peoples of Silea by their proper names. They were not treated as savages, natives, or even humans, so they looked down on them and even gave them the derogatory title of mountain monkey. Neither elves nor dwarves have ever been called that, and I thought it was too much for humans to be the same.
Yoru pulled out his sword from its scabbard. The process was so fast that no one followed it with their eyes.
“I’ll serve you a broken leg for today’s ancestral rites. If you take care of 14 people at once, it will be quite a bit of wages.”
“Everyone get into formation!”
At Yugen’s command, the knights raised their swords. The black but rough river one after another rose up the sword face, and the mana of the dantian began to flow through the strong body. And along with the warm sensation, red dots began to appear on my chest.
“The large size is damn slow, it explodes.”
“…”
“If you had attacked me so quickly, I would have stabbed you at least once.”
Plop-plop-plop-
From left to right. Ten knights fell to the ground. Yoru whistled as he brushed off the blood that had formed on the tip of his sword.
Four people, including Yugen, raised their swords to block the attack. Yoru opened his mouth to the other person with pure admiration.
“Still, there were four useful guys.”
“…”
“Baby. Seeing that you didn’t say anything, are you going to admit that you were scared now?”
“…monster.”
“Thank you for the compliment. It feels great to be promoted from a barbarian to a monster.”
Yoru smiled leisurely and sighed internally. This is because I had no idea that ten people would be hit by the secret technique I had been practicing for a long time, a thunder attack. However, it is still too early to be reassured. In front of her, four knights stood with swords in full hand.
‘The same move won’t work twice.’
Yoru thought about how to kill the four survivors. The four of us, including Yugen, exchanged signals with our eyes.
“Don’t roll your eyes. There’s no use running away.”
“…the knights of the empire never run away.”
“You brat, you’re showing off for no reason. You’re no match for me!”
Yoru rushed towards the knights, exhaling a blue strong energy. If speed doesn’t work, you have no choice but to break through with force. I thought so and drew my sword high. The knights pointed their swords to the floor.
‘what?’
moment of doubt.
Yoru felt a hollow under his feet.
passasac-
I tried to jump by stepping on a piece of rock, but the ground was cut into pieces and I couldn’t even step on the ground because it reached the level of pulverization.
‘Did you mean to push it to the cliff from the beginning?’
‘I could have killed them all if I took just one step forward.’
‘Hello fathers, mothers, old ladies. and Natalia. I’ll live up to my share.’
Still, we killed ten imperial bastards on the way. Feeling regret for not being able to kill more knights of the empire, Yoru fell down the cliff.
“…”
And then she felt puzzled.
I was falling down a cliff, but I didn’t feel like I was falling, only a feeling of floating.
But that was only for a moment.
The fluttering sensation only lasted about ten seconds, and her body gradually accelerated and fell to the floor.
If this continues, you will die. Yoru came to his senses and covered his legs with strength. We did everything we could to absorb shock as much as possible. Kwaddeuk – Yoru couldn’t even scream due to the pain of both leg bones being completely broken.

“Crazy, is this a person?”
Siron frowned and looked down at the fallen woman with monster eyes. It was too much treatment for a woman who not only fell from the sky but also had her legs shattered. Since none other than Siron was the culprit who chopped off the woman’s leg, there is no way he would feel any sympathy.
A floating magic that allowed those who jumped off a cliff to come down intact. If I hadn’t eliminated him at the right time, there would have been only one outcome: either he came down alive or he died.
Siron smiled with satisfaction, saying he was glad his legs were completely shattered.
“If I had been a little late, I would have come down without even a single hair being hurt.”
“He is definitely strong enough to make exclamations. If he had come down safely, we would both have been very upset.”
Demodoras also let out an exclamation as he looked at the woman lying on the floor. He was moaning softly and bleeding from his nose, but other than the broken leg, that was all.
“…What are you guys, Sipal?”
“Ohh. You haven’t lost your mind.”
“What kind of Hoo are you, you stupid bastard… I’m going to kill you… and throw you away.”
From noble mtl dot com
“How is it that even though you have two bad legs, you still have an outstanding fighting spirit? How can you be such an idiot?”
“eeek!”
Yoru gritted his teeth and tried to catch the two whispering beings, but his eyes were so full of bloody tears that he couldn’t even open them properly.
Since it was a miracle that he was alive, it was only right to pretend to be dead, but Yoru was not a very reasonable person.
From the beginning, Yoru was one of the most aggressive warriors within the tribe. If he had not received training to lead the tribesmen in the future, he might have become a wild man who ran wild and ran wild.
“If you’re going to kill me, kill me quickly! It’s the shame of a warrior!”
Yoru, whose excitement from the battle had not subsided, vomited blood and shouted into the air.
Siron was disgusted by the crazy tantrums of his grown-up wife and daughter.
“What a disgrace to a warrior, damn it. Isn’t rolling around on the floor a disgrace?”
“Juju, kill me!”
“Jooju, Jugi and Gwee.”
Shiron giggled and teased Yoru to the fullest. Demodoras and Latera felt an indescribable emotion while looking at such poetry.
‘…why are you doing that?’
He assured me that he wouldn’t let me die, so I thought I would at least pull out the holy sword and confront the intruder, but the method the man used was infinitely naive and cunning.
But it didn’t really matter to Siron. The method may be a bit cowardly, but didn’t he manage to subdue his opponent like this?
Yoru… felt great humiliation and blushed as if he was about to explode.
“You, I remembered your voice! Even if your legs were still intact, you would have dipped them in salted fish!”
“What? Didn’t you die by biting your tongue?”
“Keeek!”
“Sweetheart, stop. What if you really get sick and die?”
[that’s right. Hero. I heard you need to save this woman!]
“Hmm. I’m so angry that I got a knife mark on my chest because of this guy, so stop.”
Shiron cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head at the restraints of those around him. Yoru is definitely a person who should not die here. In the future, the continent will suffer from a chronic manpower shortage, and the death of a being with this much power is a great loss to humanity.
So Siron did not want Yoru to die of frostbite or sepsis on the cold floor.
Siron approached the fallen Yoru and looked closely at his broken leg. Fortunately, there was no trauma that caused any bones to protrude. After stroking his legs for a while, Siron unleashed just enough divine power to keep his bones from gluing together.
Wow-
‘It’s said to kill, so I saved it and fell asleep.’
Yoru felt the crushed bones return to their place. In the meantime, a thought came to my mind…
‘He just has a strange personality, but if you get to know him, is he a good guy?’
However, the goodwill that bloomed in an instant was immediately shattered with a cold wind entering his groin.
Surprised, Yoru blushed at the tickling sensation.
“Ji, what are you doing now!”
Are you really trying to rape me? Since ancient times, Yoru has grown up hearing about the fate of people captured by the enemy. But contrary to her expectations, all Siron did was carve a letter into her thigh.
[From now on, don’t do bad things and live a good life. Kylie Lee.]
One letter at a time. Siron, who clearly engraved the phrase, stood up, wrapping the piece of charcoal in cloth. Eventually, he turned his back on Yoru and escaped through the canyon, hearing shouts and pounding sounds.
