The lotus that bloomed in regret (5)
Nature is wonderful and great, but on the other hand, it shows a cruel and violent appearance.
weak meat diet.
In front of that absolute logic, human beings were just a part of nature.
as if to prove it. All the knights could do was resist the predator, which moved like stepping on an ant.
“be careful!”
Shuwoowook – Shukwakkwang!!
A handful of fists passed over the knight’s head.
And the trees that were swept away by that arm broke here and there and flew into the sky.
The knight clenched his lips, unaware of the fact that he was bleeding at the scene that was entangled on the floor and endlessly rolling, but played slowly like a kaleidoscope.
Wow!
“… … Kut!”
The knight, who had barely escaped the twin-headed ogre’s attack, quickly regained his stance.
Even if you put on an aura, if you get hit by that attack, you won’t even be able to pick a bone.
‘To think I’d be able to face a guy like this… … !’
The forest facing the mountain range could already be described as chaos.
The trees that had grown densely lay on the ground without even a trace, and the ground collapsed in places, obstructing the movement of the knights.
Truly the power of a demon.
But that spirit never gave in to fear.
“good… … little bit more!”
“Attack his leg!”
The movement of the knights seemed to be in a hurry to avoid his attack, but if you look closely, they were moving at regular intervals.
When one of them was attacked and his posture collapsed, the others dug into him, and once the position was secured, they came out of his attack range again.
As if you are barely catching his attention… … .
And it was vice-captain Roder who was in charge of this.
“You can’t fight him head-on! Just focus on breaking your posture!”
heo-eok- heo-eok-
Roder encouraged the members and swung the sword ahead of anyone else.
Sometimes with quick movements as if filling an empty defense.
Sometimes with aggressive movements, as if stealing his attention.
There was no time to feel the cold sweat dripping down his sideburns in the desperate fight that had already been going on for nearly twenty minutes.
‘But still, you don’t even look tired… … !’
Roder stuck out his tongue as he glared at the twin-headed ogre, which fired a series of attacks.
What would have happened if a frontal attack had been ordered due to misjudgment?
Just imagining it gave me goosebumps.
Fortunately, no one has been seriously injured so far.
As time passed, scratches began to appear on his body.
It seems that even a twin-headed ogre who has received the energy of the mountain range cannot completely ignore the cutting power of the aura.
‘… … but.’
However, the ones who were really tired were the knights who made desperate movements.
‘At this rate, the knights will only be in danger.
If only I could stop him from moving just a little longer.
If only there was a way to turn this situation around somehow… … !
That moment. The face of the first prince suddenly came to Roder’s mind while he was looking for a solution.
“… … !”
And that gaze hurriedly turned to the knight standing nearby.
“thing… … ! There must have been something Your Highness asked for and took care of!”
“yes?”
“Things, where are they stored now?”
“… … ah!”
The driver was taken aback by the urgent voice, but quickly gestured and pointed in the direction of the luggage bag.
“Red bag! It’s in the red bag Terry had!”
“Thank you!”
Roder quickly broke away to the rear and reached the location of the luggage bag.
Then, without having time to unpack the bag, he tore it open with his sword and picked up something black and square that had been lying inside.
“… … also!”
What the first prince gave was something Roder was familiar with as well.
Because he also saw the scene with his own eyes… … .
Laughing at losing his things like that, Roder put them in his arms and stepped into the battlefield again.
“Listen up, knights!”
A cry that shakes the battlefield.
“Dismantle the siege and lure him to the wall! We have to make it stick together as much as possible!”
It means to become a bait.
Even while facing a guy with such tremendous power head-on.
But the knights.
“insect!”
Without the slightest hesitation, I moved my position in front of him.
It was an act of strong trust.
“Kuk!”
“This way!”
A cliff tens of meters high.
And the knights who barely control its movement underneath it.
Roder’s insides were burning black as he watched the situation anxiously.
“… … little bit more.”
The cliff on which the knights had their backs was getting closer and closer.
Now there won’t be enough room to escape his attacks.
a little bit more.
deeper.
That moment. In the time when a second seemed like a year, Roder’s eyes shone brightly.
“… … !”
Because it was the situation I had been waiting for more than anything else.
It was a moment that could be the last chance in the rapidly turning battlefield.
Roder quickly waved his arms and gave instructions.
“Now! Back away immediately!”
“insect!”
Tadat-!
The signal for retreat finally fell.
As if in response, the knights instantly kicked off the cliff and took a long leap.
It was such a swift movement that it even used up all of its remaining auras.
Whoa!
The twin-headed ogre stood upright in a different behavior pattern than before.
no. To be precise, it must have been because he realized that he had been lured to a suspicious place.
And above him, Roder’s calm cry echoed.
“Get down!”
Kwakwagwagwang!
Tremors shaking the heavens and earth moved the forest.
Flashes of light enough to blind you momentarily, and noises that cause tinnitus.
As if receiving the destructive power of the great magic head-on, the mighty explosion made the lying knights tremble and tremble.
“That… … .”
A mining bomb created by the Dwarves.
The one that the first prince had attached an artifact to was thrown over a cliff and collapsed.
However, this was just a base that I came up with momentarily, but I didn’t think it would have such a definite effect… … !
Roder raised his head and stared at the blindingly rising dust cloud.
“Oh, that’s great. Is this the skill of the dwarves? I hope His Highness can even handle this situation… … .”
“Vice-captain! Are you okay?!”
“hmm? oh i’m fine How many people were injured?”
“Fortunately, thanks to the quick instructions from the vice-captain, no one was caught in the explosion.”
“Right.”
Roder’s gaze scanned the surroundings.
A forest that has become a mess due to dust and debris flying in all directions.
The twin-headed ogre… … .
“… … Are you dead?”
From noble mtl dot com.
I couldn’t feel the ferocious presence of the twin-headed ogre anymore.
hahahaha He would have been swept away by an explosion and a pile of stones like that, so it was only natural if it was natural.
It was only then that Roder was able to wipe his palms, which were wet with tension.
“… … I am very fortunate.”
It was a battle that had to rely only on the abilities of the knights.
As it is, it must have lost several knights. Even so, it was a monster whose victory was difficult to guarantee.
‘In the end, it worked out well, but… … .’
… … But what is this incongruity that remains in the back of my mind?
Why does the ominous feeling still not go away?
“… … .”
Roder tried to squeeze and open his cold hands as if nothing had happened, giving instructions.
“At this level of binge drinking, the monsters at a distance would have been stimulated as well. Get out of the seat as quickly as possible.”
“All right.”
The knights were delighted at the thought of finally being able to return to their temporary shelter.
It was evident that everyone was feeling exhausted, both physically and mentally.
The moment I moved to avoid the collapsed cliff.
Startle-!
A shiver ran down my spine.
A strong sense of discomfort.
I tried to turn my head to check it out.
Wow!
As the pile of rocks exploded with a roar, a huge black fist instantly covered Roder’s vision.
“this!”
That’s when a blow so fast that he couldn’t even react was about to hit him.
“Vice-captain!”
aaagh!
Suddenly, with a dull shock felt from the side, his world rolled in one turn.
And a faint noise coming from far away.
“Oh, vice-captain!”
“Damn it, Sir Bennet!”
Roder quickly came to his senses from the ensuing commotion and looked around.
The knights again drew their swords and ran.
In that corner, the figure of the monster with its back to the broken rock and the nearby… … .
“… … !”
The appearance of a subordinate knight lying on the floor, bleeding.
The back of the armor was twisted like a piece of paper.
Roder could see how things had turned out just from that sight.
But there is no time to be idly by. I had to move right away.
Krrr-
A low breathing sound as if the heart was sinking.
The twin-headed ogre was slowly getting up and turning around, even though his entire body was covered in blood and his stomach was covered with thick pieces of rock.
Roder quickly gave instructions.
“Everyone raise your sword in defense of Sir Bennet.”
At that moment, the boy ran up.
Red eyes stained with blood pierce through the defense line with a black haze all over the body.
‘Fast!’
I barely raised my aura and stood up to the bully.
“Kuk!”
The moment the blow is received, the upper body is pushed away at once.
And that wasn’t the end. Such an attack continues to come in consecutive hits without a second to come to his senses.
“You bastard!”
“Help the vice-captain!”
The other members, in awe at the sight, rushed at it, but to no avail.
aaa!
“Gagging!”
They went mad and couldn’t even get close, and were swept away at once by the arms he scattered.
A series of attacks made as if they had been waiting.
Seeing that, Roder bit his lip.
‘Damn it, to break the formation on purpose… … !’
and.
The guy didn’t miss the small gap that he took a look at like that.
‘Alas!’
Kwaaang!
A sword that bounces far away.
At the same time, his raised fist swung over his head.
“… … !”
For a moment, as if time had stopped, the scenery around him was distorted.
The faces of the desperate knights. Drops of blood sprayed from the grip.
The movement to face the guy’s fist was the same.
But even in the slow flow of time, my head was putting the situation together.
The first time, the figure that came to me without any sign and crushed my feet.
Even after fighting for tens of minutes, he didn’t even show his exhaustion.
And even the black aura that was covering his entire body!
I couldn’t believe it, but I had to admit it. Like a knight, he had the ability to express the energy inside his body.
I thought I had lured him in and killed him, but he was literally playing with me.
It wouldn’t be an illusion to think that the guy’s red eyes, revealed in the invisible clouds, were somehow smiling.
“… … damn it.”
I have no choice but to be prepared for death.
The moment he thought that, his fist hit Roder’s head.
… … No, I was definitely trying to reach it.
It probably would have happened if the ogre’s arm hadn’t stopped at the edge.
It was a future I could be sure of because I had been watching the scene from beginning to end.
However, the guy just stood still.
That was it.
“what… … Days… … .”
That’s why Roder, who watched the time as if it had stopped, couldn’t understand the situation.
how the heck are you still alive Also, why did the attack stop?
And what was even more embarrassing was the fact that the body of the twin-headed ogre was falling in an oblique line.
As if someone cut it with a knife… … .
you cut it?
“Twin Head Ogre.”
Suddenly, Roder’s gaze reflexively turned over him.
Then I found something.
A man who jumped down after stepping on an ogre’s corpse that was collapsing through the sun behind him.
“Was it correct to follow my feelings?”
The sword in the man’s hand slowly disappeared into the scabbard.
At the same time, the corpse finally fell to the ground, and I could meet the man’s gaze again through the thick cloud of dust.
“To struggle with something like this.”
“majesty… … .”
“The name of the knights under direct control of the royal family will be crying.”
An arrogant, but never heard voice.
“I guess I need to train him.”
* * *
“Me, that!”
The dwarves who ran out of work were shocked.
That would be too. It was the first time the Sun Knights had seen a corpse measuring several meters in a temporary shelter.
Surt, who ran ahead of everyone in the sudden commotion, muttered as he touched the corpse.
“… … It must be a twin-headed ogre.”
The lord of the mountains, and the manifestation of the devil.
It was torn in places by auras and scorched by explosions, but it was clearly the corpse of a twin-headed ogre.
It was also affected by the mountain range and became more vicious and strong.
Judging from the morale left on the corpse, it must have been of such a quality that any blacksmith would salivate.
“How could you do something like this… … ”
However, the first prince had just casually tossed the corpse away and said,
-Use it as you like.
Do you want to use it as you please?
Even though he has lived for hundreds of years, he has experienced things that he has not easily seen, and he does not know how much more he must be surprised.
However, there was not even the slightest hesitation in the way he threw it away as if it was nothing.
On the contrary, he even focused on the next task while leading and assembling the knights.
‘Can I really use it as I want… … ?’
While I was thinking about it, the approaching clan started making a fuss around the corpse.
“Ohhh, my God!”
“Ah, boss! This molar… … !”
“With this kind of tough leather, I can really make high-quality arms!”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Surt was confused by the behavior of the approaching clan, but hurriedly began to roll his head.
‘If you process this corpse well… … .’
Work suddenly increased, but dwarves are a race that cannot survive unless they hold a hammer.
Rather, this was more welcome.
