Chapter 12: What the hell is that sword? (One)

"Chase! Don't miss it!!"

A loud whistle echoed through the mountains.

The man was drenched in sweat, running non-stop to the top.

To be precise, it was to escape from the whistle from below.

"Huh- huh- huh- huh-!"

It felt like my airways were being ripped apart as I was constantly breathing heavily in the cold night air.

The man clenched his teeth and ran while holding his right arm tightly.

deaf-

A strange object on his right arm scratched the ground and made a loud noise.

Damn it ."

I couldn't hear the sound, so I raised my right arm hard.

It was a sword.

very large sword.

What was unusual was that the sword was attached to the man's right arm like a parasitic.

The blade had a lot of blood on it, and the shape that hardened over time was different.

It was proof that many lives were destroyed by this sword.

'You can't be caught here.'

"There it is! Speed up! Where and what are the wizards who came to the application doing?!"

The commander's voice grew closer and closer.

Wasn't it impossible to run away with such a heavy object on your arm from the start?

If so, what should I do?

The man looked at the sword with a confused face as he ran.

'yet again .'

The man stopped running.

My stamina is now limited.

There was so much air in his lungs that he could feel the taste of blood with every breath he took.

It's been years since I've run like this.

how Why the hell did I become like this?"

If I had endured that momentary desire... .

The man sharpened his teeth.

If caught, it is the death penalty.

If it was just the death penalty, it would have been easy to die, but there was no way to kill it easily just by considering the amount of blood on this sword.

Then it just kills everyone.

"I don't die I will not die."

Blood gleamed in the man's eyes.

"Wow!"

The sword was dyed reddish.

The blood vessels on the connected right arm became disgustingly thick, and then they began to wriggle.

As the blood in his body rotated at high speed, his body turned red like a sword.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"

Red blood flowed out.

The man turned back, spewing white steam from his mouth.

I felt the tracking team getting closer.

The man supported his right hand with his left hand and fixed his sword.

An overflowing ominous feeling enveloped the man.

I ."

The man took a stance about to rush.

Then he flew towards the tracking team that appeared in the form of a dot.

"I survive!"

late night.

A great battle took place on the slopes of the Ierko Mountains.

* * *

"Why do you have to leave the easy way to go here?"

Jamie put the wood into the bonfire and looked at Jin with dissatisfied eyes.

They were on their way over Mount Befos, which is now part of the Ierko Mountains.

This is the northern part of the ; Olvia continent, where the border of the Yvon Kingdom meets the border, and if you go over the top, it is the territory of the Yvonne Kingdom.

There was no need to go down such a steep mountain road.

"Isn't it convenient to just go through immigration? There must be plenty of places to rest."

Jin answered by biting off the leg of the rabbit he had been hunting.

"I have no identity."

"Then why do you have no identity?"

"Because there is no need for it."

"Does that make sense?"

"What else can't be done?"

Jin, wearing a mask with only his mouth open, chewed the meat hard with a face asking what the problem was.

Jamie wondered if all the people in Ryeo were savages.

However, if you think of Han's whereabouts, he was dressed in a rather rare appearance.

Unlike Jin.

After that, I was curious about the relationship between Jin and Han.

"I have a question ."

What?

"What is your relationship with Han? Still, since we live in the same hometown, I think we'll be pretty close even within the Frontier."

"Not at all."

Jin said, pushing the firewood with a kindling.

"They came from the same origin, but their identity was different. So, we are not very close to Hangang."

"They were different ."

"Han was an aristocrat by comparison, and I Were you a slave?"

" slave?

"To be honest, I was a slave. I was fortunate enough to fight well, and I was lucky enough to be caught in the eyes of a general, and then became a slave under his direct command, then proved my skills and became a free citizen."

In a word, Jin was the protagonist of the story of a life reversal.

Because becoming a free man from slavery is as difficult as picking a star in the sky.

"However, origin is the root of that person, so even though I became a free citizen, I lived with considerable discrimination."

"That's why you can't be friendly with Hangwa?"

"You could say it's my problem. That bastard... Han seemed to want to be close to me, but since I was a slave, I also have a sense of victimization."

I couldn't say anything to Jin at this point.

It was even more so because each other's birth was a slave and a nobleman.

In the situation of a person who used to be a slave, no matter how friendly a person who was a nobleman may be, he cannot get rid of the thought that he looks down on him in the dark.

This was very natural for a human being.

This is because discrimination based on status is severe.

No matter how free he was, he would still be on the same line as the man who was the owner of Han to Jin.

If you don't think of arrogant things just by looking at it, that would be weird.

"It's like that."

"It's not friendly enough."

As Jamie spoke, Jean looked at him.

"Why do you look like that?"

" It's exciting."

suddenly?

"Usually, when I talk like this, the other person doesn't know what to do."

Indeed. It is not easy to identify yourself as a slave.

And it's not easy to listen to it either.

Since it's about revealing his secrets, it's normal to not know what to do, as Jin said.

But Jamie didn't.

It wasn't that he really cared about Jin.

"Whatever it was. Aren't you a slave now?

right.

"Then what happened?"

Jamie reached out toward the bonfire as if nothing could be done.

Although it is still summer in terms of season, the northern part of the western ; Arisha continent has now entered winter.

Seldam, the kingdom of the northern continent, is still summer, but if you ask why it is winter in the northern part of the western continent, there is nothing to say.

What do you mean you just ate it like that?

"Damn it. I just want to fly."

"You can't get caught in the mana zone."

There is an invisible wall at the border.

It is called the Mana Zone, and if you use magic there, you could be pursued by the two countries that are bordering on each other.

In my heart, I just want to pierce the mana zone, but unfortunately, the mana zone was the power of the dragon.

It is a fact that ordinary people do not know, but all the high-ranking people in each country knew about it.

Jamie couldn't hear it until he became an elder in the magic world.

'Damn lizard cubs.'

Currently, it is said that dragons and humans do not engage with each other, but that can be said because they do not know.

In fact, the high-ranking officials instigated and fabricated in such a way that the public's perceptions were made that way.

The problem is, humanity is still being helped by dragons.

A few countries have fought against that reality, but it has not been easy.

Because your opponent is a dragon.

'Still, they don't want to manage it directly.'

That was fortunate.

Dragons did not appear in the human world unless something like Ganon, the warlock that existed 700 years ago, appeared.

Because they are the servants of the dragon god Brahman.

Since the continent ; Loen was ruled by 12 gods, they could not interfere in the realm of other gods.

"Put your eyes on it. As soon as the sun rises, it moves again."

"I thought I could sleep well in even the most uncomfortable bed, but this is quite difficult."

In the past as Diablo Volfir, I slept comfortably on a stone floor, but now it is very uncomfortable.

How long has it been since you closed your eyes like that?

The firepower of the bonfire gradually fades away, and there is still about an hour left before sunrise. Both masters opened their eyes at the same time.

"I felt a presence not far away."

"It's a person."

I don't know who the hell appeared in such a valley at this late hour, but the two quickly moved to a place where they felt popular.

It was night, but there was no problem with the two masters moving.

Even if they didn't use light magic, their eyesight was no different from that of the day.

The sound of running water was heard over the untrimmed bushes.

"I go first."

Jamie teleported.

It's not strange that one's life could run away if he misused space movement in such a lush forest, but he was the Archmage who was at least half way up to the 9th class.

Jamie, who calculated the spatial coordinates at high speed, was able to arrive at the Valley of the Night at once.

and found

" What's this. Person?

It was a man with a large sword attached to his right arm, drenched in water and unconscious.

sparse hair and messy beard. It was swept away by the water, so it was hard to see, but there was blood that had hardened on his clothes.

"I recently fell into the water."

Jamie's gaze moved upward along the valley.

It looked like it had been swept down here from near the summit where the end was not visible.

If you can hear the heartbeat, you're not dead yet, but if you leave it like this, you'll die.

Jamie lifted him up with telekinetic magic.

"Is your stomach pierced?"

As if he had been stabbed properly, red blood was dripping from his stomach along with wet water.

"Jamie Wellton!"

At that moment, Jin's voice was heard from behind.

Once he laid the man on the floor, he raised the divine power of his left hand to heal the wounds on his stomach.

And by creating a fire in the air, the surrounding temperature increased.

The skin, which had been pale enough to see the body temperature rise rapidly, was refreshed.

"It's pretty serious."

Jin, who arrived soon after, checked the man's condition and said,

Jamie's first aid did bring her complexion back, but it didn't look like she would regain consciousness easily.

"But what is this black?"

Jin frowned as he looked at the sword connected to the man's right arm.

"It's connected to the arm Is it something like an artifact?"

"I don't feel any magical power."

"Then you mean you just put it in your arm like this?"

"How would I know? I don't know unless you split it up and remove it.

"So is it."

"Once we passed the dangerous stage."

Jamie regained her divine power and looked into the man's eyes.

Judging by the fact that all of his blood vessels were ruptured, he must have felt very tired.

"It's connected by a mechanical device. Are these thin lines replacing nerves?"

"Can you see the machine?"

a little.

"Unexpected. Wasn't it just a substitute for a prosthetic arm?"

"It could be."

"Just looking at it, it looks like a mercenary, but it looks like a pervert with an arm cut off and a weapon embedded in it instead of a prosthetic."

"It's a strange looking weapon. This is the first time I've seen a sword with such a wide area. And thin lines that replace nerves are connected to the gum plane. This It doesn't look like a normal weapon.

"I wonder who the sword master is, I have a lot of interest in swords. let's just go If this person comes to his senses, he will take care of it."

Since I've helped a lot of people recently, I didn't want to help anyone for the time being.

Especially now that I haven't slept well.

"I want to die not... Ah.

At that moment, a man from behind muttered in a difficult voice.

Perhaps it was said unconsciously.

said Jin.

"Is that so?"

"Damn it. Why am I so open-minded? Let's take it."

you. Lucky."

Jin looked at the unconscious man and smiled.
