Chapter 185

Should I say that I am lucky out of misfortune? No one was killed even though the wagon overturned and flew off the ground several times.

The coachman, an adventurer in heavy armor, jumped out of the wagon as soon as the horse collapsed to avoid injury, and the people in the wagon, unaware of the situation, may have rolled over several times, but thanks to the sturdy wagon, they only let out moans.

One of the horses was properly crushed by the carriage and died screaming, but it might have been better, seeing as the two remaining horses were not able to get up from the ground, probably broken somewhere from the shock just now.

Of course, it didn’t matter to Carl, who was rolling on the dirt floor. No matter how much he liked horses, it was not to the point of worrying and taking care of the lives and deaths of horses, even when he was in a situation where his own life came and went.

‘Fucked.’

It was a situation I hadn’t even imagined.

If you’re lucky, you’ll help, and if you’re unlucky, it’s just that the enemies keep chasing you, not paying attention to the adventurers who run away. Even if the adventurers figured out their intentions and were hostile, they would swear at them, even if they didn’t think they would attack them.

“What, what? What happened?!”

In the completely overturned carriage, the other members of the party were unable to properly control their bodies, but the woman Fulling, who was able to stick her head out the window intact thanks to her small body, was free from there. Looking at her in amazement with his two large eyes rolling around, Carls let out a blank laugh involuntarily. There will come a day when that ignorant reaction will help you relax.

“Sen. Get them out of the carriage first.”

“Aha. It’s so hard that I don’t even have time to explain, that’s what I mean.”

Although he must have been aware of the seriousness of the situation, Pulling, who was called Sen, broke the carriage door with a wild kick and came out with a smile. It was a pretty cool sight that didn’t go well with her small body, but then it was a little less cool because she struggled to get the people out of the carriage.

Merdella, who crawled out with her help, opened her mouth in embarrassment.

“Sir, fuck. What the hell is going on...?”

Carls didn’t blame her. This is because it was not something that could be expected in the first place. Instead, he took out the two daggers he wore around his waist and answered quietly.

“Merdella. It’s fucked up. The adventurer attacked.”

“what...?”

“Suddenly... his name? Or an unidentified title?

“Fuck.”

Her eyes were still spinning, but Merdela’s judgment of the situation was quick. Enemies were getting closer, the adventurer was hostile, and the wagon was smashed, so all she had to do was recite the attack spell again.

“Where is a dog like a spell?”

It was accompanied by an unfamiliar voice and a sound that seemed to cut through the air.

To Carls, it was an insignificant action that the adventurer drew his sword and cut the air once, but it was a sight that made Merdella’s complexion pale.

“Eh, magic...”

The gist of dispel magic is simpler than you think. Temporarily blocking the mana generated in the surroundings. There is only a difference in level depending on whether or not a similar method is solved more luxuriously and elaborately. As a result, there is a gap in which no one can use magic while the dispel magic is activated, so the key is how much mana is wasted by cutting off the opponent’s magic casting at a critical point.

However, no dispel magic could touch the mana that had been gathering and cause it to become disorderly. At least as far as she knows.

Merdella, frightened by the unknown situation, turned her gaze in the direction from which the voice had come.

“You only talk about cancer. Grimm... Huh? What?”

Did I hear right now? Sen looked around, but no one could give her a definitive answer. It was because they all shared her embarrassment.

“...Did he just dump me?”

However, the man turned around as if it were natural and, like a knight, planted his longsword into the ground and stood upright to confront the pursuers.

“No, now, really? Huh?”

He looked back at the party, who couldn’t even properly react to their absurdity at the sight of them not even worrying that an attack might come from behind them. Meanwhile, one of the assailants who had arrived right in front of him stepped forward and bowed his head politely and greeted the man.

“...I don’t know who you are, but they’re our only business. Could you get out of the way?”

The assailants were very polite when they were wary of the man who overturned the wagon to see if his eyes were gnarled.

One of the worst reactions ever. It’s in stark contrast to us, who pretended to be friendly and tried to get caught up in the incident. Carls furrowed his brow involuntarily.

However, the man’s answer immediately widened his eyebrows, and his eyes widened.

“I also have business with that pooling lady, so I think it’s difficult. If we can end it with a conversation, I’d like to cooperate as much as possible to settle the situation smoothly.”

Is that really the man who was glaring at me with the intent to kill people and spitting curses at me? Not to mention the rest of the party, even Sen had his mouth wide open, but the assailant shook his head and responded calmly.

“Unfortunately, that seems difficult. They are guilty of insulting the Order. There is no compromise in the name of God.”

“Well, who said these pseudo-cult bastards were criminals at will?! The god who picked up and ate the spread human flesh like a dog did that?!”

“...Especially when it’s that damned half-cut bitch.”

“hmm.”

I couldn’t tell what expression the man was making because he was turning away, but his sword turned and headed towards the sky. Then, it slowly descended horizontally from above, aiming at the man in the lead.

“Those who do not wish to fight should always lay down their weapons and dismount. This advice is for you to recognize that you are a third party.”

“Crazy. Am I in a children’s book?”

Sen’s muttering still couldn’t read the mood, but no one said anything.

Even if you wear a gauntlet, it’s not unusual to have your skull shattered in one blow. Not to mention simple strength, and even if he used an aura, it was clear that it was possible to use it very skillfully.

However, in front of 10 horsemen, the man was only wearing a leather breastplate, so despite the majesty he showed earlier, disbelief and doubt in the eyes of Cals and others could not help but flicker.

The opponents were cultists who were different from the gangsters scattered across the land, but they were warriors who were treated as elites in their church. Warriors so strong that Carl’s party didn’t choose to run away for nothing.

“I appreciate your courage and will, and I will send you off painlessly.”

The assailant fixed his weapon and said, but the man did not answer. I just flinched for a second.

When I realized that the flinching was not due to tension but a preliminary movement for an attack, it was after the body of the man who was already in the lead was cut diagonally along with the horse he was riding.

While everyone couldn’t come to their senses, the man’s sword cut through the air, emitting a terrifying light.
