Episode 4
Warm blood running down your cheeks.
I calmed my rapid breathing as I watched the servant’s new model collapse without strength.
‘It wasn’t difficult.’
By using the living attribute, the user’s movements were sealed for a moment.
He then quickly thrust a dagger into his throat and killed him.
That’s how he committed his first murder.
‘One, there is not even the slightest agitation. strangely… … .’
On the contrary, interest traits have expressed an interest in murder.
Just like wild wolves covet blood and flesh… … .
I shook my head, stopped thinking, and got up.
‘I don’t have time for this.’
We must move before the knights outside the door burst in.
‘It would have been nice if I had prepared for it in advance or escaped… … .’
There were eyes watching him day and night.
Aside from Asen’s mansion, it was safe to assume that everyone in the estate was a spy from the six families.
If he showed any noticeable action, more knights would have been dispatched immediately than now.
That’s why it was the right time now, when all the villagers and servants were away.
‘Paper and a fountain pen.’
I hurriedly grabbed the items lying on the desk.
By the time I finished my preparations, the door swung open with an almost banging sound.
bang!
Realizing that the servants were not coming out, the knights slammed the door and burst into the room.
Chaengchaeng-.
As soon as the knights entered the room, they drew their swords and pointed them at me.
My face was frowned upon without realizing it.
Among them, there was a man who radiated the thickest murder.
‘… … After all, Peltz came in person.’
A knight sweeping his navy blue hair and looking at me with low sunken eyes.
He is the strongest among the knights dispatched to kill Adele and is the only man in the original story to survive Adele’s counterattack.
That’s why he’s also a person to watch out for.
“Are you here?”
I raised my eyebrows and told them.
The pleasant voice felt creepy because it didn’t fit the situation.
It wasn’t particularly intentional.
It’s just that Adele’s original personality came out.
“Of course you have no intention of saving him.”
“What are you listening to, attack me now!”
One knight, perhaps noticing that I was preparing something, drew his sword and charged at me.
The target was eaten.
He held the dagger in his hand and unfurled an arrow at the knight.
Then an arrow straightened towards the knight’s sword.
appointed.
movement.
I swapped my position with the sword.
The knight’s sword fell powerlessly to the place where I was, and before I knew it, my new model was in front of the knight’s eyes.
hooked
The knight pierced his neck with a dagger, not even realizing what had happened to him.
With this, in an instant, one of the five knights was dealt with.
““… … !!””
A ripple arose on the faces of the knights.
An unexpected situation for them.
The moment the sound of their beating heart rang in my ears.
that buck
The most fierce knight took a step closer and opened his mouth.
“Count Leon’s Knight Commander Peltz, I will execute the criminal’s sentence.”
At the end of Peltz’s words, the three knights began to unleash tremendous killing power.
I can feel the will to slash me at all costs.
One day the knights rushed in.
But I was a little faster than that.
The dagger I threw was already heading towards the glass window.
Clink-.
When the dagger is thrown, the window splits and shatters like a spider’s web.
At the same time, I threw myself to the ground outside the window.
‘appointed.’
As soon as I confirmed that the dagger was falling, I used the location exchange.
A dagger hung at the end of the countless arrows extending out.
‘movement.’
As soon as you see the dagger fall to the ground, use position swap.
In an instant, the positions of me and the dagger were reversed.
Thanks to the location change, my head didn’t hit the ground first.
It just ended with rolling the ground a few times.
however,
“Kuk.”
It’s not a pain to ignore… … .
With tears in my eyes, I grabbed the dagger that was falling from the sky.
And looked back.
You moved that distance at once?
It’s not the time to be like that, hurry up before he runs away!
Come on down!
The knights who grasped the situation are trying to chase me.
However, he won’t be able to follow you right away thanks to his escape by jumping out of a window.
But it didn’t buy enough time to relax.
‘let’s go.’
I hurriedly kicked my feet.
If you relax even a little, you will be caught up quickly by the knights.
Compared to their physical abilities, I am just a child.
I have no choice but to run as fast as possible.
Did he run for a number of minutes like that?
‘I’m out of breath… … .’
Knees starting to tingle.
Along with impatience, thick beads of sweat flow along the jawline.
Even though I was running to the point of getting sick of it, the knights who had escaped the mansion were rapidly narrowing the distance between me and me.
complained inwardly.
‘… … It’s too against me.’
It wasn’t just a physical difference.
Unlike me, who has no means of transportation, the knights who have a great means of transportation called horses.
Because the difference was so great.
The guy got close. Speed up your horse and overtake him!
With Peltz’s skillful command, the three knights immediately started charging.
A gap that is getting smaller.
He fiddled with the dagger he was holding in his hand and was lost in thought.
‘Should we fight.’
He immediately shook his head.
Haven’t reached the destination yet.
There was a need to conserve energy until we got to the vicinity.
As I said before, there will be no going out of the territory.
where my steps are headed.
It was none other than the Asen forest located in the deepest part of the territory.
By now, the pursuers must have realized that Asen Forest was their destination.
Because the beginning of the forest appeared.
‘Asen Forest.’
A place where the densely built trees and the strange sound of insects flapping their wings for the first time in my life vibrate.
As soon as I entered, this place with a gloomy atmosphere convinced me that I had reached my destination.
Use the geographical advantage of Asen Forest to subdue the knights.
The act of running on a dark forest road where there was no moonlight was extremely dangerous.
Just like now.
“The horse is at the root of the tree… … !”
“Everyone watch out… … Keck!”
A horse’s legs got caught in the roots of trees protruding from Asen Forest, and the knights fell off their horses.
I couldn’t confirm it, but I’m pretty sure it was hurt.
At least I could guarantee that they wouldn’t chase me any more.
However, the knight driving the horse at the back of the horse detoured and started chasing him.
He made a quick decision after seeing his colleagues getting hit by tree roots.
‘It’s a waste.’
Are they skilled knights?
Only Peltz will have to be careful.
I thought so… … .
If that’s the case, I’ll have to do it myself.
I let out a heavy breath as if exhausted and slowed down my run.
The moment I saw a gap like that -.
“Got it!”
The knight swung a gleaming sword.
As a result, he turned his head and chose an option to overcome the crisis.
using location swapping.
Action is faster than thinking.
“appointed.”
Target the knight’s helmet.
“movement.”
The knight split the helmet that exchanged positions with me, and my body fell in the air.
I gathered the momentum and slammed the dagger into the knight’s throat.
hook-.
“Ouch… … !”
When the dagger pierced the knight’s neck, the knight died instantly and fell off his horse.
Without a chance to check him, he rolled his head while floating in the air.
‘I’m in danger too.’
He stabbed him and his posture was disturbed.
If it fell like this, it was almost certain that it would break somewhere.
“appointed.”
A leaf that just came into view.
“movement.”
I swapped it and my position.
widely-.
Like that, he propped himself up on a tree branch and kicked off his seat.
From nob le mt l dot com
Now there is only one left.
“Tsk.”
A man coming towards me with his tongue out and dismounted.
Peltz, the leader of the Knights of Count Leon.
I swallowed dry saliva.
‘I’m not an opponent that can be dealt with in the same way as I just did.’
The terrifying life that came upon me suddenly made me harden on the spot, unable to even move a step.
He opened his mouth with difficulty and spat out the casting words.
“appointed.”
I immediately developed a location exchange, designated the farthest leaf as a target and moved.
The moment I moved to the branch on the other side.
bang.
A tremendous roar rang as if tearing the eardrums.
Is that the sound that comes from swinging a sword?
He stared at the ground while clinging to a branch.
A long, large sword carved in the place where I was.
‘If I had been hit by that attack, I would have been bloodied… … .’
Just imagining it was terrifying, so my body shrank.
As I swallowed my saliva and stared at the floor with a terrified gaze, Peltz flew toward me at high speed.
Literally, he leaped as if flying through the sky and swung his sword at me.
“appointed.”
I hurriedly deployed a location exchange and escaped.
He was not a man who would give up just because his allies suffered.
“Whoa, whoa.”
I was so surprised that my heart dropped.
Let’s catch our breath… … .
As I calmed my rough breathing while supporting myself on a tree branch, I heard Peltz’s sneer.
“I can’t help but admit that it’s amazing. It’s not enough to subdue four knights, so you dodge my attack.”
Peltz, who started talking like that, added a story.
“But it’s a stupid decision. To think that he would drive himself into the forest so that he could not escape.”
That’s not wrong.
It’s not easy to get rid of him in Asen forest with a young body.
Since his mana was almost exhausted, he would only be able to use the position exchange a few times now.
Still, there was a reason why he insisted on Asen Forest.
“Is there any other way? Even if I go outside the territory, I will die anyway.”
“That too.”
Outside of Asen.
It was never safe there.
In the first place, the empire was ruled by six families, so it was clear that their demons would spread out wherever they went.
After a short conversation, Peltz raised his sword again.
“then.”
die.
Having said that, Peltz flew to my seat.
I spread the position exchange arrow again and ran away.
but.
I couldn’t completely avoid it this time.
“Kuk!”
The sword grazed my arm right before we exchanged positions.
The wound was not deep.
But the bitter pain came and I had to bite my teeth hard.
“You bother to die anyway. Even killing the precious knights.”
“Isn’t that a bit premature? At least I don’t think I’m going to die here.”
When asked, Peltz snorted.
“Ha, do you think you can run away from me?”
“well.”
“Looks like you have a place to believe.”
didn’t answer that question. They only spread the distance by deploying positional exchanges.
Then, he took out paper and a fountain pen from his bosom and smiled quietly.
A place to escape to…
there was.
That was also the reason I insisted on Asen Forest in the first place.
What is the reason-.
Because I’m going to ‘Magic Realm’.
