134 – A touch lurks on the island (3)
The moment the two-pronged sword was about to fall, Chester moved his muscles elastically, spinning his body while lying on the ground and bouncing up, just like a cat and an animal do.
Chester’s two-pronged sword stuck where Chester’s head had been, and Chester landed in the air, poised, and charged Urgo.
‘Can humans move like this?’
Urgo quickly retrieved the two-pronged sword and swung it, marveling at Chester’s incredible athleticism and resilience.
Chester, too, was astonished at Urgo’s way of retrieving and swinging the sword that was stuck in the ground with a sound heavier than that of a hammer.
An unspeakable monster. It is the characteristic of a hero that people can most clearly recognize.
“Kuk!”
The two-pronged sword, which was swung in the correct posture after retrieving it, was faster than Chester, who took out his knife and rushed at it quickly.
Booong!
There was a harsh sound of tearing the air, and Chester, who tried to charge forward with his entire body leaning forward, quickly threw his body back and dodged the sword.
“It will take some time to catch it.”
Seeing Chester’s reaction, Urgo acknowledged it.
Although not to the level of being called a hero, the man in front of him was undoubtedly a special human being.
‘Is it similar to rotin? Although the physical ability is better this way.’
It feels like dealing with a human-shaped cat.
The whole body is full of elasticity. So, no matter how you move, you can change the movement to the form you want at any time.
The next thing you see is the unusual shape of the forearm muscles.
The raised muscles and wriggling blood vessels above the skin in the hand holding the knife gave off an unusual feeling. The knife in my hand seems to be screaming in pain.
‘Considering the time they attacked us during the day, they must have a lot of stamina.’
Probably, his physical strength was greater than that of Urgo.
However, Urgo had no intention of fighting long enough to see any physical advantage.
It fiercely wields a heavy sword that would shatter the shoulders, elbows, and wrists of an ordinary person just by holding it up and swinging it.
The two-pronged sword violently tore through the air, and the harsh wind created by it blew past the spot again before it disappeared.
The wind blows and the wind overlaps. I managed to dodge the blade, but the fierce wind shook the forest noisily.
“What!”
Seeing this, Chester was shocked.
It was hard to believe that he was moving that heavy sword as if he were holding a knife and wielding it.
‘It’s a monster, really!’
Chester calmed down and calmly looked at the sword.
Chester is not a warrior. Not even a knight. They don’t know how to read the next move by looking at the opponent’s body, which they learn naturally while training.
So, following the tip of the sword with his eyes, he evaded the sword using his eyes with excellent body vision and his body with amazing elasticity and reflexes.
The moment he dodged the sword, Urgo’s kick flew towards Chester, but Chester avoided the kick by stepping on a rock behind him and quickly climbing over it.
At that time, Urgo fixed the sword he had only wielded until now and pushed his body forward.
With his arms and sword fixed, he only sticks out his body and naturally prepares for the stabbing, then climbs on top of a rock and stabs his sword aiming at Chester’s unstable foot.
Seeing this, Chester quickly jumped back, but Urgo also spurred forward and ran, extending the thrust’s range.
I hurriedly tried to block the stabbing sword with the knife, but the knife couldn’t stand the sword and broke as it was.
‘It’s like breaking a branch with a knife!’
The moment Chester rolls on the ground in astonishment and pulls out his machete, a two-pronged sword swung from the side smashes the machete.
Kwajangchang!
“Ugh!”
As the machete shattered, Chester blocked the shrapnel from flying towards his face, and hurriedly rolled his body to block the next attack.
The moment he stood up from frantic rolling, Urgo’s fist was driven into Chester’s chest.
“Caught.”
Quaang!
It didn’t sound like the sound of people hitting people at all.
If you look for a similar sound in Monia’s memory of watching the battle, it resembles the sound of people fighting at the top.
Of course, there is a difference between the people at the top who were fighting casually to play, and the sound made by Urgo hitting Chester as hard as he could.
“Keep it off!!”
The moment he was beaten, Chester felt a shock that squeezed everything inside him.
The body jumps backwards and crashes into a tree.
“Ouch! Heck! turn it off… !”
It must have been hit by a human fist, but it was like being beaten by a bear.
“… … !”
While Chester couldn’t move from the shock and pain of a single blow, Urgo quickly approached and swung his sword.
“I won’t miss it anymore.”
the sword falls
Then, arrows flew from behind.
Hearing the sound, Urgo twisted his whole body while maintaining the momentum of the sword he was striking, and with the twisting power of his body, changed the direction of the sword he was striking and swung it diagonally from bottom to top.
It happened right after the end of the two-pronged sword had just been lodged in Chester’s chest.
“… … .”
After cutting the arrow, Urgo saw Monia watching him crying.
“Stay away from Chester.”
Crying, Monia reloads and aims her arrow, knowing that she will never be Urgo’s opponent.
Her face was crying, but there was no trembling in her body.
“You are brave. She is a good woman.”
When Urgo spoke the language of the kingdom that she could understand, Monia was taken aback for a moment, but she stiffened her expression again and aimed the arrow.
“It was a bit like making a stupid choice because Rottin was possessed by a girl he saw when he was young, but if you are, I will admit it.”
Having said that, Urgo looked at Chester, who was slightly bleeding from a sword stabbed at the end of his chest.
Perhaps from the impact of the blow to the chest, Chester was gasping for breath and unable to move properly.
Then, with the split end of the two-pronged sword, he gently pressed Chester’s neck.
“I will spare this man.”
“… … !”
“Instead, please quietly follow me.”
The moment she touched Chester any further, I didn’t know what that woman would do.
Urgo, who wanted to bring Monia to Rotin intact, didn’t want that.
“… … .”
Monia looked at Chester quietly.
He is trying to move somehow, but he can’t move at all.
Chester had fought the bear to such an extent that he was in such a state, but the shock of being hit right in the chest by Urgo was powerful enough to make even such Chester unable to move.
“… … Are you really going to save me?”
“yes.”
Urgo saw Chester glaring at him.
It reminds me of myself in the past, when I was captured by invaders and my family was humiliated right in front of my eyes.
A dark displeasure welled up in his chest, but Urgo suppressed it forcibly.
“I’ll go.”
And seeing Urgo frowning, Monia, who judged that he was offended by the late reply, answered urgently.
“I’ll follow you, so save Chester!”
“… … .”
Immediately after Urgo put away the two-pronged sword he had aimed at Chester’s throat, he ignored Monia as well and turned toward the ship.
“uh?”
When Monia was dumbfounded by that action and raised her voice, Urgo turned to Chester.
“You are a good man too. You can tell by looking at the woman’s behavior. That you and she both love each other sincerely and deeply.”
Chester glared at Urgo, trying to force himself to move.
Urgo, along with Chester, looked at Chester’s chest, which was bruised and swollen.
‘I can’t live long with that kind of scar in this environment.’
All the ribs would have been broken.
Urgo silently prayed for Chester’s rest for a moment, then looked at Monia.
“I’m sorry.”
It reminds me of my hometown trampled by invaders.
It reminds me of a family that was humiliated in front of my eyes.
The fact that he had done that horrific act made him feel sick.
‘… … Damn it.’
So, Urgo said to the two of them.
“sorry.”
There was nothing I could say other than an apology.
‘I’ll have to tell Rotin if I should give up for the happiness of the woman I love.’
After Urgo disappeared with those words, Monia, who had been quiet because she couldn’t understand the other person’s actions, was startled and ran to Chester.
“Chester! Chester! it’s okay?! Chester!”
“… … .”
Chester, who was about to say something, couldn’t bear to say anything due to the pressure in his chest and gnashed his teeth.
“Keep.”
I was careless. It was a dangerous job to deal with dozens of people, but it went much better than expected, so I caught my guard. I shouldn’t have done that.
‘I wonder if he was excited to meet someone after a long time.’
Chester thought soberly.
‘No, no.’
In fact, I think I thought there would be no problem even if I got caught a little bit. That’s why you did such a bold thing.
Even if you get caught, it’s no problem to run away against the sailors who woke up late at night.
I thought so.
‘Totally misjudged.’
I guessed that Urgo was strong.
Even if you shoot arrows and throw stones from a distance, you can block them all, and if a man capable of such feats is weak, that is funny in its own way.
However, at the same time, Urgo’s strength far exceeded Chester’s expectations.
‘Is that a hero?’
I knew there was such a person. However, knowing it and actually experiencing it are very different.
‘I never thought I’d be this strong. … … Damn it.’
Chester somehow moved his hand and placed it on his chest. A terrible pain burns in his chest as the weight of his hand rises.
‘Keuk… !’
Consciousness gradually fades. Chester looked at Monia with heavy eyelids.
“Chester! Say something!”
I see Monia crying.
Chester kept looking at that face.
Continue until your consciousness is cut off.
Eventually, after Chester fainted, how long had he been lying there?
After Chester was knocked down by Urgo, Ant, who had disappeared somewhere, hurriedly ran and came near Chester, howling in the direction he ran.
– Oh oh oh! oh oh oh oh!!
Ant continues to howl sadly with the voice of a wolf calling his own people. Monia looked at Ant like that.
“Are you Ant?”
As if in response to the cry, the bushes swayed for a moment, and then a creature with a huge furry body appeared.
It’s hard to tell the difference between individuals because they look so different from people, but Monia, who has an excellent eye, recognized who the top person appeared in front of her eyes.
“The wind… … !”
– Chester… ?
Holding the grace of the top in one hand, the black wind opened its eyes wide as it looked at Monia, who was sitting down crying, and Chester, who was lying on the ground with her chest terribly broken.
– What’s up! hey! Chester!
