Chapter 111 – To the Black Forest (2)
Should I call this fortunate?
It is undeniable that they are being chased by corrosive bodies, but they are not as numerous as expected.
… So, it means that more than 400 people are not chasing after us like before.
It seems that about 200 people are chasing them.
Still, Rukia owes a lot to reducing that number by half.
Although I didn’t have the illusion that was as strong as when I saved Park Se-rin and me, it seems that it was possible to directly touch the heads of the corroding bodies that were chasing me.
Pajijijik!
Rukia, who twisted her body to dodge the spear of flying current, swoops! As she waved her hand, several of the erosive bodies in front of her suddenly turned and started running away.
Maybe they think they’re still after us.
But it seems that Rukia is getting too carried away with this.
“Haa… ha… ….”
Rukia staggered as she let out her weary breath, losing her balance and beginning to fall.
If you stop here even for a moment and get caught by the erosive bodies, it will be the end.
She hurriedly threw her body at Rukia and snatched Rukia off her balance.
Pak Se-rin, who was running a little in the lead, quickly noticed it and ran to it, scattering her sword skills to keep her corrosive body from approaching.
Chow!
It was simply a threatening sword to block the approaching, but the eroded entities that could only be controlled by [Erosion] Rushed at them without caring about their bodies being cut off.
“Chit, run!”
Pak Se-rin shouted as she swung her sword once again.
Taat!
I put the breathless Rukia on my back and kicked her in the ground.
I heard the sound of Se-rin Park following me and spraying her sword mid-air toward her eroded bodies.
Chow! Chew!
The association said that there is no way to remove the [Erosion] Of the corrosive body, so if you encounter it, you should remove it….
In the end, if you kill an erosion body, the [Erosion] Inside the body only moves to find another host.
So, the best thing to do is to keep killing to a minimum and make it incapacitated…….
“Is that as easy as it sounds!”
Pak Se-rin screamed in anger.
Corrosive bodies are not limited to civilians.
Occasionally, quite talented wizards or knights became corroding bodies and chased them.
The word is ‘pretty skilled’, but if the power is temporarily amplified by the power of [Erosion], It becomes a considerable level of strength.
Of course, after a few minutes, he vomits blood and collapses to death, but with that level of skill, I can’t afford to look after him.
Moreover, in a situation where they are being chased by so many people.
Because of that, there were not a few eroded bodies that were decapitated by the sword that Park Se-rin decided and sprayed.
Every time her face distorts as if she would cry at any moment.
If she keeps running at this speed, Park Se-rin will kill more people.
Since Rukia, who was the slowest, is riding on my back, it might be okay to speed up a bit.
“Senior! Let’s speed it up a bit!”
“Yes!”
The three purple stars near the heart began to rotate like crazy.
The purified purple energy flowed into the lower body and permeated each muscle fiber.
Quaang!
At the same time as it kicks off the ground, the floor it was stepping on is shattered and stone fragments are thrown out.
Park Se-rin also slowly increased her speed and caught up with me.
However, she asked me while taking over Rukia if she thought it wouldn’t work at this speed.
“Junior, can you increase the speed?”
“… Any more here?”
“I think it will be difficult to get rid of them at the current speed.”
I followed her gaze slightly behind her and turned her head.
Certainly, the distance has increased compared to just before, but it is doubtful when it will be possible to get away with it to this extent.
Well, if I had been able to run at full speed and get past her, I would have run with Rukia on my back from the start.
Even if you say that you can’t increase the speed here, Pak Se-rin will not be bruised.
He would nod his head and say yes.
Then I will go back and continue spraying the erosive bodies with black energy so that I am not in danger.
I don’t want to see that anymore.
It might be okay right now, but in the end, this is killing innocent people who have only been [Eroded].
It will be a sin that will catch her ankle someday and make her fall.
That’s why I want to relieve her of the guilt she will have after this is over.
“I’ll try.”
At those words, Park Se-rin smiled silently.
“Then follow closely behind me, junior.”
Taaah!
Pak Se-rin’s body is shot at high speed like a flash war.
‘Can I chase after you?’
No, we have to chase it.
The purple star that was already rotating at high speed to its limit rotates faster.
Due to the purple star being overloaded, unrefined magical powers began to rampage within the body.
“Ugh… !”
Unknowingly, I let out a moan at the energy running through my body.
Smoke started to come out of the heated body under the influence of runaway magic power.
I forcibly grabbed the mana that was rampaging like an unbridled beast and pushed it into my lower body.
Whoops!
From noble mtl dot com
As I stepped on the ground strongly, even the buildings around me were cracked and cracked.
Jiik….
Dragging the foot that did not step on the advance with a bent posture.
Quaaang!
My body became a cannonball and was fired.
“Mi… friend!”
Rather than the feeling of jumping up, it was closer to the feeling of being bounced off.
Thanks to that, he lost his balance for a moment as he was shot into the air, and his posture was messed up.
Besides….
“Ugh… !”
Because her body couldn’t handle the runaway mana, I could feel the muscles in her lower body tearing away.
Although he jumped an unimaginable distance with one leap, it was too much to say that he was the price of a single leap.
In this state, you cannot continue to run after Park Se-rin.
However, that worry quickly disappeared.
The wound started to heal quickly due to the [Regeneration] Effect that I had forgotten for a while.
“If this is… !”
You can chase it.
As the speed drops, it gradually starts to fall to the floor.
Koo-woong!
Landed with both feet together.
“Kahak!”
Because the body was still unable to handle it, the impact of landing was beyond imagination.
At the moment of landing, even though the impact was minimized by bending at the knees and waist, the joints in the knees creaked and the inside was shaken, causing blood to ooze out.
But we cannot stop here.
Clearly, with the recent jump, the distance has been widened considerably, but it is still difficult to outrun them.
Park Se-rin, who has gotten farther away, looks as small as a bean, so I have to chase after her quickly.
Quad Deuk!
Once again, as I pushed the runaway mana into my lower body, the concrete cracked at the slightest movement of a toe.
“Whoa… ….”
Take a deep breath.
Quaaang!
It was fired once again.
Feeling the strong wind while flying, the pain felt in the lower body was terrible.
Although it’s getting better right away.
Koo-woong! Landing again
Quaaang! Jumped up again
By the time this was repeated several times, it was to the point where I could feel the sense of liberation from the cool breeze more than the pain of my lower body being crushed because I couldn’t handle the exploding magic power.
And by that time, they were close enough to see Rukia on Pak Se-rin’s back.
*
“Haa… ha… ha… ….”
It wasn’t until dawn that the corroded body was no longer visible after running nonstop for a full day.
Arriving in a deserted village, we were breathing hard on the roof of the tallest building.
“They are so tenacious… !”
Park Se-rin looked relaxed throughout her run, so I thought she wasn’t very tired, but it seems she wasn’t.
“I will….”
Answering weakly, I just lay down on the floor.
Since [Regeneration] Is also related to stamina, the speed at which my wounds healed was very slow when my stamina ran out.
‘Still, it’s much better than nothing.’
But if you wake up after a good night’s sleep, everything will be fine.
In addition, it is a characteristic that heals wounds by consuming stamina, but it quickly recovers stamina, so tomorrow you will be in good condition.
“This is so… “
When I lowered my head slightly, I could see my disorganized body.
The muscles in his lower body burst several times, so his legs were all covered in blood, and his pants were also torn and there were no rags.
His shoes, which received the full impact of jumping up and landing, had long since disappeared, and the T-shirt he was wearing was also a mess because he rolled on the floor once because he couldn’t land properly.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have come out wearing my school uniform.’
It would have been much better if he had come out wearing a school uniform with all kinds of protection magic, automatic repair magic, and automatic washing magic as standard options.
But who would have thought that a person who came out to play for a while would get caught up in something like this?
It’s fortunate that I have a few pieces of clothing stored in the Subspace Bracelet just in case….
Admiring my readiness, I was about to take out a new outfit from the subspace bracelet.
“Ugh… ….”
Rukia, who had lost consciousness due to overexertion, groaned and woke up.
