Chapter 120 – Cyclops (2)
A huge fist rushing at me.
‘I can’t avoid this!’
In order to minimize damage, I curled up and covered my head with both arms.
Giing.
The floor suddenly disappeared and I fell under it. When I came to my senses, I was rolling over behind Garlowin.
Quaaang!
Seeing my fist stuck where I was standing just now, I can only laugh.
I prepared to minimize the damage, but if Garlowin hadn’t saved it, it would have been enough to retire in one blow.
Overwhelming destructive power and agile movement unsuitable for its size.
Like the giants in mythology, even the defense is overwhelming, so if we keep going like this, we will be the first to get tired of attacking.
Moreover, due to the nature of the Black Forest, it is impossible to get more than 15 meters away from the Cyclops.
“Oohhh!”
Once again, the Cyclops howled and began to shatter everything around them as they ran amok.
At the sight of her, Charwen’s face turned white, and she heard the sound of asking Garlowin.
“Can’t I just open the portal and bounce?”
“The portals I open can only go to places I’ve been before.”
“Just go back to where you came from….”
“Let’s pretend the time we came here didn’t exist?”
“… ….”
At Garlowin’s words, Charwen clamped her mouth shut.
No matter how strong the Cyclops are, it is true that time cannot be delayed.
I don’t know exactly how much time has passed since I entered the Black Forest, but it’s certain that it wasn’t a short time.
It is not desirable to waste time at a time when the number of people suffering from [Erosion] Outside continues to increase.
“Ha….”
After a deep sigh, Sharwen spewed invisible flames at the Cyclops again.
Cyclops, who were running towards Seria and Pak Se-rin, stopped after being hit directly by Charwen’s flame.
Giiing!
The purple star begins to rotate smoothly.
After learning how to use the star from Celestia, even if it was roughly, the power and cost-effectiveness of the star jumped several times, so the sword skill was much stronger than before.
Chwaaagh!
Even that only left a thin, solid red line on Cyclops’ body.
However, what if it absorbs [Erosion]?
Cyclops’ condition is the same as that of Park Se-rin a few days ago.
It may not be completely impossible, but it may be able to mitigate [Erosion] To some extent.
The use of the purple star I learned from Celestia was also effective in driving away [Erosion].
Retrieving the sword he wielded, he reached out to touch Cyclops.
Booooong!
Cyclops twisted his body and swung his fist at me.
If you were on the ground, you would have avoided it, but now your body is floating in the air.
I was preparing a purple sword-like spear with the intention of trying to pierce it with a sword.
“Siwoo!”
Charrr!
I heard Dina’s voice calling me from behind, and a black chain stretched around me and yanked behind her.
Booung!
Succeeded in avoiding Cyclops’ fist, which was swung through the air, by a narrow margin.
But it’s a while to be happy with it.
Realizing that her Dinah had saved me, Cyclops rushed right at her.
Dina, who was almost defenseless while trying to save me, wasn’t prepared for anything.
I can see Garlowin hurriedly chanting magic, but it will probably be too late.
“Ah!”
Taat!
I hit her thighs and calves with her magic power and kicked the ground.
Can you run like this and dodge the Cyclops’ fist with Dina?
Probably not.
But maybe you can fit in Dina’s place.
Dina, whose body is weak compared to powerful magic, will surely die if hit.
If I get hit, she’ll probably die, but she’s more likely to survive than her.
Besides, I also have [Playback] That Dina doesn’t have.
In that way, she justified herself and ran out and hugged Dina who was belatedly trying to use her defense magic.
——————————!
All senses were blown away with the terrifying shock that seemed to shatter the entire body.
*
Nothing is visible.
I can’t hear anything.
I don’t feel anything.
Will everyone die like this?
In a state where there is no sense left, only the ego is floating around in an empty space….
‘… ….’
I wanted to curse at least in my heart, but I couldn’t even think of the right words for the current situation.
Who knew that I would die in vain?
I have built friendships with many people, and I have continued to work hard to become stronger.
In fact, I found out that I was a paladin who had received the ‘Star Blessing’, and even found out that I had even returned once.
However, the last thing to do is to lose your temper while moving to deal with something that didn’t even appear in [Oeyeongdo] And get beaten to death by a maddened giant.
I was trying to save a girl I became close with, hoping that someday she would save me.
No, is it true that I got it in the first place?
I absorbed most of the shock by strengthening her whole body to the maximum with her magic power, but at the moment she was beaten, Dina was held in my arms.
Then, isn’t there a chance that they died together?
If that’s the case… There will be no dog death like this.

… By the way, if you die, do you have to stay like this forever?
Kooung….
I feel like I’m getting bored already….
Wow… Coo….
But why is it shaking like this….
Huh? Shaking?
Starting from the shaking, the senses that had been blown away began to return one by one.
The first thing that came back was the sense of touch.
The cold stone floor on which my body lies and the warm and soft touch of my head.
And the hot water dripping onto my face.
Kooung… Whoa…….
Even the sensation of shaking the ground.
The second sense that returned was hearing.
Loud thumping sounds that pierce through the ear canal.
Are you still fighting that cyclops?
For that reason, the place where the sound comes from is a little far away… It sounded more like a Cyclops looking for something than a fight.
What came next was the sense of taste and smell.
As the hot water drops that have been falling on my face from earlier fall on my lips, it tastes salty, and for some reason the familiar scent of peaches gives off a strong scent.
The last thing I came back to was time.
Silver hair and familiar purple eyes that looked blurry beyond the blurry vision.
“… Dina?”
“Siwoo!”
It was only after my vision fully returned that I realized that this warm, soft feeling on the back of my head was Dina’s thigh.
So, it’s her lap pillow.
Did you die and come to heaven?
But looking around her, no matter how you look at it, it’s far from heaven.
Rather, it looks closer to the Black Forest….
No, I don’t even want to think about that.
I just want to lie there forever….
Should I say I’m glad? There was no need to worry about that.
I tried to get up, but my body couldn’t move.
Instead, I only knew very well that I was in terrible pain and that my whole body was in a state of being smashed.
How did it look like it was still alive… This is not an injury that can be healed in a day or two even with [Regeneration].
Due to the nature of the Black Forest, I can’t see the Cyclops, but I don’t think they’re far away from hearing the sound of them wandering around.
She put on a look asking Dinah what was going on, and she whispered in her ear in a voice so low that Cyclops couldn’t hear it.
“After Siwoo wrapped me up and flew away together… Everyone scattered and hid….”
Dina’s voice is so sweet that it tickles my ears.
‘Did my head taste bad because I was hit so hard?’
In this situation, in this state of mind, I can’t believe I’m thinking like this.
In short, Dina’s words mean me and Dina fly outside the ‘fifteen meters’ of the Cyclops.
She seemed to think that she was at a disadvantage to continue fighting as it was, and she seemed to be hiding her body by running away ’15 meters’ all at once.
Cyclops seems to be wandering around looking for hidden people.
Other people may not know, but I can’t move my body and I can’t go anywhere else, so I just hope that you don’t come this way.
Kooung… Coo…….
The footsteps are getting closer.
Dina and I sighed at the same time to reduce the presence even a little. And held my breath.
Kooung……. Coo…. Thud…. Thud.
The approaching footsteps stopped not too far away.
Kooung… Wow… Coo…… Coo…… ….
Maybe I decided to go somewhere else, but I got farther and farther away.
“Puha….”
Dina and I let out the breath we were holding back at the same time.
Kooung…… …. Wow…………. Thud……….
Soon the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard.
“Then let’s join the others….”
“No.”
“… Why?”
“You’re hurt.”
It is true.
Actually, I couldn’t walk alone, so I thought of getting Dina’s support.
“If you are resting properly, others will come to find you.”
Dina said, stroking my forehead with her slightly moist eyes.
“So, right now, I’m just resting like this.”
