Episode 52 – Dwarves, the Mountain Tribe (2)
Goddess Morkru.
One of the six Arnaises, he was a dwarf race.
And it was also Arnaise who made other Arnaise’s legendary weapons.
First of all, start with your Doomhammer, Adalrad.
Charlotte’s Zodiac Sword, seen at the National Foundation Day event.
Elodie’s Staff, Instiz.
Muriel’s wand, Isuten
Noemi’s hall, Sharasdal.
Legendary Arnaise, who produced mythical weapons.
However, nothing was known about Kyle’s sword.
What sword was Kyle using?
Did Morkru make it again?
Nothing was known at all.
Unlike the other Arnaises, Kyle didn’t know many facts.
Although the face was Leah’s influence.
The other part was strangely unknown.
As if someone intentionally deleted the records.
The strongest Arnaise.
That was all that was known about Kyle.
Anyway, Semir, who reveals that he is a descendant of such a god Morkru.
‘Lea said that this Dark Forest was the hometown of Elodie and Morcru…’
But didn’t they say that everyone left after it was transformed into a dark forest?
I don’t know the details.
Morkru’s descendants seemed to have remained here all along.
Xian shook off his thoughts and greeted me.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Cian Elandur, lord of Leuven.”
“Right.”
Semir only uttered that once.
No matter how dwarf he is, when he becomes a chieftain.
Most people seem surprised by the name ‘Elandur’.
I’ve come across that name countless times while interacting with humans.
But Semir wasn’t like that.
A look that doesn’t know or care about human society at all.
Same with the previous introduction.
He seemed to understand why Khmaru called him the last remaining dwarf.
“Khmaru did something useless.”
Soon, Semir opened his mouth slowly.
“Sorry, but I have nothing to say. So go back.”
And it’s like there’s really nothing to say.
It was Semir who went inside the door again.
Then Khmaru hurriedly shouted.
“Chief! It’s a difficult guest! It’s not polite to send it like this!”
“I’m also a guest you brought on your own. I must have said no.”
“What’s so hard about getting help!”
“Help comes at a price. Even more so, humans tend to overpay for it. And we are dwarves. Since when did dwarves receive help from humans?”
Eventually, Semir looked at Xian and said.
“Your Young Ji-min received treatment and is safe. Unlike you humans, we dwarves don’t really want anything in return for goodwill and help. So, take the two of you and leave.”
bang.
Semir went back into the house.
“Anyway! In case someone isn’t a dwarf, that guy’s stubbornness is really!”
Khmaru huffed and shouted at the door where Semir had left.
Then, with an embarrassed expression, he said to Xian.
“Sorry hey. He took a difficult step…”
Xian looked at Kmaru and asked.
“Why are you so wary of me?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Our chief is the last remaining dwarf. It’s just the dwarves’ useless stubbornness.”
Kmaru shook his head.
A race of artisans, dwarves.
It was not for nothing that they said that their stubbornness was tougher than an ogre’s sinew.
But even with that, Semir’s reaction was excessive.
It’s as if he hates himself as a human being.
Although dwarves are a closed society,
Still, it wasn’t to the extent of rejecting approaching guests like this.
Perhaps recognizing Xian’s question, Khmaru slowly opened his mouth.
“Actually… there are other reasons besides that.”
“Any other reason?”
Khmaru nodded.
“Let’s go at once. I will tell you as we go to the place where the two human friends are.”
#
Kmaru moved his short legs to guide Xi’an.
Lucas and Grayson.
It seemed to go where they were.
Xian followed such a khmaru without a word.
how long did it take like that
“I told you on the way, but currently our tribe is suffering from attacks by demons like never before.”
Kmaru slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s a dark forest infested with demonic beasts. Even so, it is too severe. Right now, I’ve managed to block it somehow, but it’s slowly reaching its limit.”
Xian nodded once.
It was because he could understand the feelings of Kmaru.
Because I was in the same situation.
The monsters that have been constantly attacking lately.
Ruben would have collapsed as it were if it wasn’t for Xian’s talent.
If Ruben, located outside the Dark Forest, would do the same.
The dwarven village inside the forest must be awful.
At least they were dwarves, so they were able to endure it.
“In the meantime, I found your two human friends. They accidentally flowed into our village, and when I first saw them, they were all really dying.”
Lucas and Grayson set off to investigate the mighty beast nestled deep in the forest.
Listening to what Kmaru said, he must have been badly injured in the process.
“Are those two okay?”
“Ah, I’m fine now. As I said before, the two friends are very tough. Ha ha ha!”
Kmaru smiled heartily.
“anyway. Let’s hear from those two friends. He said that he had developed a territory that was no different from ruins. While thoroughly defending against the invading demonic beasts.”
“Ah yes.”
Xian smiled shyly.
Then Khmaru said with a look of pure admiration.
“It’s really great. Surviving alone in the dark forest is daunting, even caring for the locals… The last time I saw it, the level of the building was quite good. It seems there are some good architects, right?”
“Well… that’s like that.”
I’m not sure if Mobile Lords are architects.
Kmaru shook his head.
It didn’t seem like there was any intention to pry.
“So I was going to ask you for some help. It seemed that if you were enough to dig a manor from the ground, you would be of great help to our village. But the chief is like that, so won…”
Kmaru shook his head.
Apparently, coming to see Xian was Khmaru’s independent decision.
And Semir’s reaction as seen earlier.
“Why is the chief wary of me like that?”
“Well, it’s a dwarf’s useless stubbornness. Living as a dwarf is very important. But it’s not just because of that.”
Khmaru continued to move and opened his mouth.
“It must have been about 100 years ago.”
That’s a story from 100 years ago.
Compared to humans, it was a time when they hadn’t even been born yet, but the average lifespan of a dwarf was about 200 years.
For dwarves, half a lifetime.
“The chief loved a human woman.”
“······ yes?”
Sian tilted his head involuntarily.
Of course… that wasn’t the case.
In addition to humans, numerous other races lived on the continent.
That’s why not only dwarves and humans.
elves and humans. dwarves and elves.
Elves, beastmen, etc.
There were more cases of eye contact between different races.
Although it wasn’t common.
It wasn’t that it didn’t exist at all.
“Could it be… is it because of the wind at that time?”
“It’s similar.”
similar?
Xian tilted his head.
If it’s windy, then it’s windy.
What else do you mean similar?
Then Khmaru continued.
“That human also loved the chieftain. The two promised to be with each other. Although the lifespan is different… isn’t that what love is originally?”
Khmaru opened his mouth once.
“But she was a human, not a dwarf. It was only the human way. And living here in the dark forest made it difficult to return to that human society.”
because
“She said she wanted to say hello to her parents and asked for a moment. The chief, of course, allowed it. No, he went beyond permission and made a masterpiece of his own as a sign of the promise.”
So she left the dark forest.
“I never came back here again.”
“·······”
“The chief waited. I guess there must be some reason. but after a few months. The masterpiece that the chief gave to the city of humans as a token of promise has been put up for auction.”
“ah···.”
It was only then that Xian could nod his head.
Not to the extent of being blown by the wind, but to the level of being hit in the back of the head and being betrayed.
To put it bluntly, it was under construction.
And it’s a common thing in human society.
Certainly… He deserved to hate humans.
“But do you know what is really frustrating?”
Then Khmaru sighed and said.
“The chief still hasn’t forgotten.”
“······ yes?”
Xian wondered what that meant.
can’t you forget? Who are you talking about?
“Certainly… are you talking about that woman?”
“Yes.”
“·······”
Xian was speechless for a moment.
That, too, was a whopping 100 years ago.
Half a lifetime for a dwarf,
A lifetime for humans.
Even if the woman had some reason at the time.
It was time to die of old age.
“So I’m about to die of frustration!”
Kemaru pounded his chest with his fist and showed it.
Xian had nothing to say.
“You say you don’t trust humans, so you’re still trembling alone, so won. well, anyway. I’m sorry. He took a difficult step…”
“no. I had to come because of Grayson and Lucas. Rather, I am more grateful for saving them.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
Kmaru quietly moved on.
Xian followed behind such a Khemaru.
Right then.
“emergency! emergency!! A bunch of trolls are invading!”
Suddenly, a loud cry erupted from one corner of the village.
Soon, the Dwarves in the village began pouring out in a hurry.
“sh*t! You came earlier! How long are you going to keep coming!”
“And why are they trolls!”
“No time to complain! Everyone, bring your tools!!”
With a rough voice, each of them began to pick up their weapons.
It looks like the demons have invaded again…
At that moment, Kmaru, who was next to him, shouted at Xian.
“There should be a house with a brown roof just around the corner! There are human friends there, go see them. I think I’ll have to go that way!”
After saying that, Kmaru left in a hurry.
#
Krrr!
Wow!!!
The howls of the trolls burst through the forest.
A flash of red light.
Huge size reaching 3m.
It gave off a considerable sense of intimidation just by facing it.
“Stop! Stop them from coming up!”
“aaa!”
Kwajik!
One troll was crushed by the dwarf’s hammering.
Colossal strength that could crush a troll with a single hammer strike.
Although Dwarves are often referred to as a race of artisans.
It wasn’t that Dwarves only played a role as artisans.
Dwarves were unmatched in the realm of ‘strength’ more than any other race.
Muscles trained by hammering every day.
In the first place, one of the 6 Arnaises, the Goddess Morcru.
As an anecdote related to him, there was a legend that Morkru lifted a whole mountain.
Of course, I don’t know if that actually happened.
A story in mythology.
However, it was an undeniable fact that the power of the dwarves could never be ignored.
but.
Rurr-rrr!
Even that monstrous power couldn’t stop the troll’s ability to regenerate.
The crushed troll finished regenerating in an instant.
It was a blow that would have killed a normal troll.
However, the troll here is a troll with over drive.
Even if you call it Bulsa, there was no shortage.
“Kreurreuk…!”
“Kieek!!”
The trolls roared and charged.
“launch!”
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
All kinds of weapons made by the dwarves swept away the trolls.
However, even that could not completely suppress the trolls’ regenerative power.
at last.
aaagh!
“The barrier has fallen!
“no!!!”
One of the barriers protecting the village collapsed.
“Kreurreuk…!”
“Kieeaek!!!”
Through the collapsed barrier, visible trolls appeared.
Kmaru shouted.
“We have to stop! We have to stop them from coming inside!”
“But if we go to support that way, this side of the barrier is…!”
“Damn it!!”
Khmaru spoke harshly.
An extremely rushed situation.
Trolls entering through the barrier now had to be stopped.
Otherwise, the village would have been captured.
But there was no way.
Another barrier is dangerous if you send warriors to stop those trolls.
Then, eventually, that barrier will also be breached.
In the end, it was no different from taking out the lower stone and putting the upper stone on top.
More than anything.
‘Honestly, I can’t stop it any longer.’
There was no strength left to deal with the trolls.
Although the Dwarven warriors are powerful.
The trolls’ regenerative powers were terrifying.
Immortals who do not die even if killed.
Let’s say how to block it now.
But what next?
And what’s next?
Further resistance was virtually meaningless.
K’maru shouted.
“Nakar! Take over the troops right now and run away with the children of the village!”
“what?”
The dwarf called Nakar opened his eyes wide.
Then Kmaru banged and pounded the hammer and shouted.
“I’ll buy some time for the kids to run away!”
Nakar opened his mouth as if to shout.
“This is nonsense! The Chief is coming soon! Only then somehow…!”
“The chief cannot come!”
Khmaru shouted resolutely.
Nakar had nothing to say.
Because I knew that what Khmaru said was true.
“Shouldn’t the children be saved?”
“But… where are we going?”
This is a dark forest.
It was a terrible space where survival was not guaranteed.
Kmaru turned his back and said.
“There must be a human friend I brought to my house. He is the lord of the estate called Ruben. You should follow that friend. From the looks of it, he seemed like a good human friend. They won’t let us down.”
“But you, Kmaru…”
“Come on!”
Khmaru interrupted Nakar and ran forward.
Nakar seemed to have a lot to say.
There was no time now to indulge in such sentiments.
“come! Trolls! The invincible Khmaru is out!”
Khmaru jumped in, risking his death.
“Kreurreuk…!”
“Kwaaa!”
A group of trolls encountered.
Kmaru grabbed the hammer in his hand.
Right then.
Tadak!
Someone ran out as if brushing the side of the khmaru.
light movements.
Kmaru’s gaze naturally headed there.
And a man who can be seen through the sight of such a khmaru.
“Now, are you…?”
Cyan Elandour.
He was a human friend who was said to be the lord of Ruben.
“Why are you here…?”
Xian didn’t answer.
He just fluttered his golden hair and raised his sword.
and continued
just one blow.
I’m sorry-!
An eerie cutting sound was heard.
At the same time, one of the trolls in front was neatly cut in two and collapsed.
A truly perfect hit.
But there were many trolls left.
Xian continued to swing his sword.
“Careful!”
Seeing Xian like that, Kmaru shouted.
It was because Xian didn’t care at all about the troll being cut into pieces.
Trolls don’t die that way.
Although the troll is ferocious as well as ferocious in its own way.
The real fear of trolls is their near-immortality regeneration.
No, in fact, it was safe to say that trolls were all about regeneration.
Could it be that the outskirts of the Dark Forest haven’t been raided by trolls yet?
It seemed that Xian was unaware of the troll’s terrible regenerative powers.
Kmaru grabbed the hammer and grabbed it.
however.
“…doesn’t it play?”
The fallen troll was not regenerating.
Originally, by now, I should have regenerated and attacked Xian’s back.
The troll was still lying on the floor.
Khmaru’s eyes widened as he examined the troll.
A troll not playing.
No, it wasn’t that I wasn’t doing it, it was right to see that I couldn’t do that.
The cut pieces of flesh were trying to stick together.
However, darkness dwells between the cut sections.
The darkness was preventing the troll from regenerating.
The troll, unable to regenerate, stopped moving.
“Uh, how…”
I’m sorry-!
An eerie cutting sound is heard in succession.
the place you looked at.
There, Xian’s sword slashed the throat of another troll.
And the black and black darkness shimmering around the sword.
It shimmered even darker in contrast to the pure white S-grade blade.
cooong!
The fallen body of a troll.
However, the trolls’ red glow continued to grow.
Kwoaaa!!!
A terrible roar erupts.
Along with hatred, fragments of emotions such as joy and joy rise.
An insatiable thirst for blood, a hungering desire.
“Oh, no!!”
Kmaru shouted.
Too many trolls.
The ability Xian showed was truly amazing.
But it wasn’t enough to deal with that many people.
That’s why I had to run away even now.
Xian is knocked out! I took a step as if taking a leap.
As he stepped forward, he raised his sword.
As soon as he raised his sword, the trolls attacked Xian.
And in that hellish landscape, a pitch-black sword passed.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just like that, Xian’s sword cuts through the air as if it were passing by.
I’m sorry-!
There, without fail, one or more trolls were cut up or burst.
And it never happened again.
“Uh, what’s that…!”
“Oh, my God…!”
The dwarves looked at Xian in surprise.
All the astonished gazes turned to Xian.
I’m sorry-!
Xian’s sword, which he swung and stabbed, was simple.
any splendor.
There was no clutter whatsoever.
Xian just calmly walked through the middle of hell.
The two eyes of Kmaru, who were open, did not shrink.
But suddenly, he came to his senses and shouted.
“What are you all doing! Deal with the other trolls while your human friend buys you time!”
The Dwarves flashed at Kmaru’s cry and came to their senses.
And each of them raised their weapons and weapons to deal with the pouring trolls.
Still a lot of trolls.
If the collapsed barrier is breached, the village will collapse.
I didn’t know how long that human friend would last.
so now i can’t help it
I knew it was impossible, but I had no choice but to trust that human friend.
“Uhhhhh!”
“a little bit···! Hold on a little longer!”
A fierce battle ensued.
How much time had passed like that?
There were no more standing trolls to be seen.
The attack of the trolls that I managed to block.
Without even time to enjoy the joy of victory, all the Dwarves moved their bodies.
It was because they had to go to support through the collapsed barrier.
However, the Dwarves soon realized that it was meaningless.
the place you looked at.
There, between the collapsed barriers, Xian stood with his sword hanging down.
And the corpses of trolls scattered around them.
What does that situation mean?
Xian went beyond holding out and blocked the collapsed barrier alone.
“·······!!!”
“·······!!!”
“·······!!!”
Whoops, open mouth.
The expressions of the dwarves went beyond astonishment.
between them.
Tring!

“It doesn’t get really dirty.”
A low voice was heard.
