Chapter 324

Episode 324 Role (4)

Running through the sewer.

iron jerk iron hammer.

While splashing the water that has risen to the shins all over the place, the eyes only stare straight ahead.

There were two men and women.

The man was forcibly pushing the woman against the wall while holding a sword at her neck.

‘If he had left me, he would be doing well.’

I energized the hand holding the hammer and shouted with all my might so that it echoed throughout the aisle.

“Behel—laaaaaa!”

It was the judgment that he had to somehow draw attention and remove the sword from Amelia.

But…

push-!

As soon as the sword was drawn, a fountain of blood welled up from Amelia’s neck.

Ha I thought it was just applied to the skin.

It was already stabbed.

Even in the midst of that, when he pulled out the sword, it seemed like he inserted it deeply once and then pulled it out…

“……Barbarian?”

He turned his upper body towards me and muttered.

It was wearing an iron helmet as usual, but it seemed that the race was inferred from the content of the previous shout and the large body.

I briefly checked Amelia’s condition using moving vision.

“Keah kuh… ugh…!” Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Amelia, who had a hole in her neck, was holding the bleeding part with one hand and using the other hand to support her staggering body against the wall.

Just looking at it, it wasn’t in good shape.

But…

‘I hope he doesn’t die.’

You can’t save people by just worrying.

The most important thing in saving people is accurate judgment and execution.

In that sense, I spurred the ground once more and dashed.

iron-!

A rapidly closing distance.

As soon as we reached the radius where each other’s weapons could touch, he pulled out a shapely aura and swung it at me.

Quaang-!

Received an aura with a hammer.

At that moment, doubt formed in his eyes.

Since I wrote an aura, of course I thought I could cut it with the whole weapon…

“It’s a number item.”

Like a veteran who must have gone through all the battles, he found the answer in an instant.

‘I’m quick to notice.’

Still, I decided to think only of the positive aspects.

Wasn’t there a gap for a while thanks to what he said?

Whiik.

While fighting arms against each other, he stretched out one hand and pulled Amelia.

As if she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, her body was dragged and pulled into her bosom.

So, have you got everything you need now?

“…She was her colleague.”

“Can’t you see?”

“Then…you are my enemy too.”

What are you talking about—

“…!”

At that moment, the brief contest of strength was over.

Ruchenpraha gave strength to the sword and pushed me back. It was very unfamiliar because I hadn’t been pushed out of my strength lately, but there was no need to be discouraged.

‘My strength is slightly superior to mine.’

I took a back step as my body pushed backwards.

Of course, the guy dashed and followed.

It was much faster than me.

‘Agility is far superior to me.’

First of all, I am pushed behind in the pair stat, which is the core of close combat.

Even the passive active skills that I worked hard to create synergy with were sealed, and in the meantime, he was pulling out even the auras that were in conflict with me.

‘Is there a real conscience or not.’

Apart from complaining, I quickly finished my judgment.

Truly an overwhelming spec car.

Even running away is difficult under normal circumstances.

But…

‘I don’t think I need to use it right now.’

There were no big problems.

That would be the case, to put it another way.

Aaaaaang-!

Doesn’t that mean you can create an unusual situation?

yes for example

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

or underwater warfare.

* * *

A dark sewer where torches flicker.

Fifteen men and women are divided into two groups, glaring at each other as if they were enemies.

“What do you mean? Say it again, Dumbo.”

“It’s Dumbo, it’s Durborn.”

“That or that. Didn’t you like it when I saw you smile in front of that barbarian anyway?”

“What…? This bastard…!”

A conversation that comes and goes with clear hostility.

Caught inside, Laura Lane Wales thought as she held her trembling sister’s hand tightly.

If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have followed you.

‘Why are these people in this situation…’

Laura couldn’t understand at all.

Apparently, at first it was just a minor altercation.

An explorer from the former Melta Merchant who knew the secret passage through the sewers couldn’t find the right way.

So someone made fun of this.

This was the seed of discord.

[He grumbles awkwardly. The subject comes along for free without doing anything.]

Durebon, a man who was implicitly acting as the leader of the group, supported the guide.

No, more than defending, he threatened.

[And now that I think about it, it’s a bit unfair, isn’t it? If you’re going to say something like that, pay me at least. Oh, if you don’t have money, it’s okay to give them equipment.]

[What?]

[If you don’t like it, just go back?]

The few words of conversation split the group into two in an instant, and we’ve reached where we are today.

“This is the last suggestion. Give me your equipment and follow me or go back.”

“Ha, did you think I would just roll my tail when I said that?”

“I’m campaigning that I’m a bit close to the guide. I just need that guide to find my way to the city anyway, right?”

“……It means that you will definitely see blood.”

“Hey… everyone calm down…”

I opened my mouth thinking that I had to stop it somehow, but Durbon cut off the conversation in the middle.

“Laura, stay still. It’s better.”

“Yes? Well, that’s great…”

“Wouldn’t there be a lot of work to do with money in the future? To settle down on the ground again.”

At Durborn’s words, the man who was standing opposite him nodded as if he agreed with this.

“Yes, if only half of them die here, the rest will be able to live more like human beings.”

At those words, Laura realized.

That there was no seed of discord from the beginning.

Unlike Jisang, who had only heard about it, this way of thinking was natural for people from Noark.

It was just an opportunity to argue about not being able to find the way.

No, maybe he said that on purpose, aiming for this situation.

‘This is why I tried to take him out somehow…’

Noark, the city where animals live.

Laura shuddered, disillusioned with the city again.

Then he put his hand on the sword belt.

If it was an unavoidable battle anyway, the Durborn faction to which she belonged had to win.

Only then will I be able to go out and live like a human being.

no matter what he is

at least as much as my brother.

“Prepare Amelia.”

“Yes sister.”

At Laura’s whisper, the younger brother also raised his hand to the weapon.

Anyway, their sisters were also beasts who survived admirably in this world of the jungle.

“Okay then let’s begin—”

The moment the opponent took a step while holding a weapon, a group of Durbons fired arrows and the battle began.

and how long has it been

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A raging current of water spewed out from beyond the dark passageway and swallowed them.

* * *

Quaang Quaang Quaang Quaang!

It was when he hit exactly four times at regular intervals while running away from Ruenpraha, who pulled out his hideous aura.

Blah blah blah blah coo-!

The ceiling collapsed with cracks like spider webs or broken mirrors.

And…

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It started pouring torrents as if a dam had collapsed.

‘The water was flowing on the real thing.’

In fact, I wasn’t sure until I swung the hammer.

I just judged that it was highly likely through the ‘observed future’ through the eyes of childhood Amelia.

[At that time, a division broke out in the group and a battle ensued, and water suddenly poured from the aisle. I was swept away and both my sister and I passed out. And when I woke up—]

I held Amelia tighter as I erased my thoughts.

If it was an ordinary person, it would have already been washed away.

Both me and him were far from ordinary people.

Quaang-!

As I instinctively covered my body with the hammer, a terrifying shock came through the rod.

Beyond the rising water depth, he swung his sword even when the water was already full to his head.

‘A bad guy.’

I closed my eyes as I was pushed back five or six steps in a situation where it was difficult to keep my balance due to the rapids.

Anyway, the view was meaningless now.

Whether there was a light source or not, I couldn’t tell an inch ahead in the muddy water.

‘Oh so this is a real mud fight?’

Suddenly, such thoughts bloomed, but they quickly passed away.

There was something else to focus on right now.

‘One two three four five six…….’

I quickly went back the way I came, touching the wall with the elbow of the arm holding the hammer. This leaves my back unprotected, but I wasn’t too worried.

It’s very likely that he just swung his sword, just relying on his senses to attack the spot where I stood at the end—

abruptly!

It was then that I felt a tingling sensation in my thigh.

It looks like he’s following me blindly brandishing a sword…

‘That’s a crazy bastard.’

but it’s okay now

Because you have arrived at your destination.

‘Luckily, after fifty-one fifty-two…’

I walked towards the wall with my eyes closed, and as soon as I reached the crossroads I had seen earlier, I went inside and hid myself.

This was a skill he learned from Rotmiller.

As I made maps, I was able to accurately measure the length of my stride, and my ability to memorize the route I had taken had improved a lot.

And there’s no way he has this ability.

‘Okay, just looking at it, it seems like I passed without even knowing there was a fork in the road.’

However, I did not settle down and continued to move along the road.

‘Giant.’

Soon after, I distanced myself from him and confirmed that the skill started to work normally, so I was able to breathe.

‘Mac is running.’

Amelia is still alive.

And now, the passive skill [Source of Fire], which shows survivability like a cockroach, should have been working.

You won’t have to worry about neck injuries.

It was only penetrated in a fatal place, but the extent of the injury itself was not that serious. One minute should be enough for that area to regenerate.

‘Is the problem oxygen…….’

In my case, thanks to the increased lung capacity with the essence of Stormgash, there was no problem with breathing.

However, with Amelia, things were a little different.

The oxygen supply was not working properly because of the neck injury.

I don’t know how long he can last.

I think I just need to hold out for another 5 minutes. At that time, the water burst out around that time, and it was said that the water source had run out and the water started to drain.

‘……Ah, I don’t know.’

After a brief thought, I listened to Amelia.

Then, fumbling around, he covered his nose with one hand and kissed it.

Underwater artificial respiration seen in movies.

I don’t know if this will actually work, but I thought it was better than not doing it.

It’s not like there’s anything to lose.

“……!”

But were you still in the middle of this?

The moment their lips met, Amelia’s limp body flinched.

Giving strength seemed to push me away.

So…….

Kwak-

I pulled my waist even more with the meaning of staying still. Then the resistance faded.

is this permission?

I wasn’t sure, but I moved my lips, which were just sticking together, and closed them as closely as possible so that the water wouldn’t spill out.

And…….

Whoop-!

I breathed in as hard as I could to reach my lungs.

* * *

After about 5 minutes of repeated underwater artificial respiration, the depth began to go down rapidly.

When the water poured from above ran out, the water spread evenly across the wide sewer.

Surprisingly, Amelia was still conscious at this point.

“Leave it alone……”

It was an emergency operation, but it was so frightening.

As I let go, Amelia plunged into the water.

oh he’s short

The depth of the water was still up to my shoulders, so I wouldn’t have closed my feet to him.

“Puha…!”

The moment she reached out again to grab hold of her waist, Amelia’s head floated to the surface on its own.

Well, you knew how to swim.

“Mi-ri… I’m telling you… It was useless.”

“huh?”

“I… ever since I was little… holding my breath was my specialty…”

“What are you saying?”

He gasped for breath and spoke like an ant crawling, so I couldn’t understand him at all.

Wouldn’t you just want to explain it again?

Or was it because there was something more important than that?

I don’t know, but Amelia changed the subject.

“Okay… more than that, why are you here?”

Her breathing had stabilized more than before, and her tone of voice returned to normal.

Well, I guess I don’t have to worry about my body at all.

“Why are you here? What do you mean?”

When I asked back as if I didn’t understand the meaning, Amelia frowned.

“I should have told you to go back. Could it be that you didn’t see the note?”

“Ah, I saw that.”

“But…why didn’t you come back…?”

What are you saying?

After I figured it out, I couldn’t write because I wanted to go back.

Reminds me of the hardships he had suffered because of his unexpected behavior, so I blurted out the words without even realizing it.

“Because I have work to do.”

“to do……?”

“I can’t go back before that.”

“What? Why did you go so far…”

What did you say?

It’s not that far, but you have to do it so you can go back.

It was the moment I was about to say this.

“Ha bastard.”

[Giantization] was suddenly canceled.

To put it simply, it means that the guy entered within a radius of 30m.

It seemed that he was going straight ahead, thinking that he had missed me somewhere, so he looked back on the road…… I

don’t think he’ll let us go easily.

So I judged.

“Hey, you go first.”

“……what?”

“Go get your sister. I’ll do something for that guy.”

Send Amelia to her sister and I’ll stop him.

Amelia frowned at that simple plan.

“It’s suicidal. He’s an enemy worthy of you—” ”

So what? Your sister? Are you giving up?”

“…If it doesn’t change anyway, I’d rather—”

“Enough.”

I cut Amelia off.

I don’t know how his will became so feeble…

“Trust me, Amelia. I’ve been thinking about that problem to some extent, so go and save your sisters first. Okay?”

“But—”

“Use it.”

What is but?

I laughed at the reaction as if I had never seen it before.

I don’t feel so bad about being worried…

“Why do you think I’m losing in the first place?”

The Essence of the 5th Floor Lord [Unspoken Spirit].

It’s definitely a good integer.

The rarity is unbelievable.

Even in the history of Lapdonia, less than ten people have obtained it, and as far as is known, only one person has obtained it in the present era?

No wonder people fear that power.

Since there is no information, it must have looked like a raw-cheating skill.

It’s a very strange thing in my opinion.

‘It’s not like he’s particularly difficult to catch.’

I devoted all of my free time in my 20s to [Dungeon & Stone].

Of course, the Lord of Silence also hunted.

So maybe the number of times is…

“300 times.”

Well, maybe that’s about it.

Could it be that you didn’t understand what I meant?

“No. 300…?”

Amelia asked what that meant.

I answered.

“That integer that I’ve eaten more than 300 times.”

Skills without weaknesses do not exist in this world.
