I sat down on the stone steps, wiping the blood off my mouth.

“Whoa, that’s tough.”

I didn’t feel it during the fight, but after it was over, my whole body ached a lot.

In particular, because of the shoulder beaten by all sorts of weapons and the side stabbed several times by the tip of a knife, excruciating pain rages every time you breathe.

My stomach and thighs also throbbed as if I had been beaten several times with a fist, and my shins were sore as if they had been sliced by a sharp knife.

If it hadn’t been a shame because the armor was strong, he would have been dying by now.

wo O ” ———–9

After sitting and moaning for about ten minutes, the pain subsided a little. Are you used to the pain? anyway.

I stood up against the wall and looked around.

I entered through the third floor and came down the stairs, so this must be the second floor of the palace tower. Candles in brass candlesticks dimly lit the room.

There was only one soldier’s corpse lying around in a room with arrow holes on the wall, but nothing else.

On one side stood a spiral staircase leading to the upper and lower floors, and on the other side stood a thick wooden door with iron frames.

“The door seems locked.” Even if I put my ears to it, I couldn’t hear anything.

There’s no way they didn’t notice the uproar on our side, so they probably don’t have the energy to send reinforcements.

“Okay.”

Geek.

I grabbed the doorknob and struggled for a while, but the door showed no sign of opening.

If your strength is 23, you are at the level of a wild boar, but is it still lacking?

Shall we break it with Hrunting?

no no There is no way to get it back if the blade is damaged by beating it blindly...

Unfortunately, I picked up a combat ax from upstairs and tried to axe it, but the door didn’t budge.

This is because the core material layered on top of the solid frame was quite tough. I think I’ll have to spend at least 2-30 minutes with an ax to break through this.

I went upstairs again, but the door was warped, perhaps because of the earthquake. Moreover, seeing a piece of stone protruding from the cracked door, the wall might collapse if you carelessly touch it.

oh i can’t help it

I went down to the first floor, lighting the front with a candlestick.

A damp musty smell penetrates the nostrils. It must be above ground in terms of the number of floors, but it feels shady and damp as if you are entering a basement. When I went down the stairs and lit a fire around,

there was a well on the other side of the stairs going up to another palace tower .

Around it, there were wooden barrels, boxes, pottery, and other odds and ends, and in the corner... “...Hmm?”

“Phoenix? it’s you?”

“What?”

Familiar people were imprisoned inside the small iron cage. It was Sister Grania and Olga. The two of them were tied tightly to the ropes with all their weapons removed.

“What are you doing here?”

“That’s...”

Grania looked sideways at Sister Olga with a puzzled look on her face.

Ay no way really?

“Sister, did you get the letter?”

“...huh. I didn’t do that on purpose...”

Ha, I’m going crazy. Was it really because of Sister Olga that the SS suddenly moved? Because of the letter I wrote?

“I must have accidentally spilled it on my way up to the bedroom. I didn’t even know it was because the stairs were so dark.”

...If it wasn’t for the real nun, I would have been fucking with double bathing right away.

I said with a small sigh.

“...it’s a relief that he didn’t die on the spot. What about Pharrell and Gilius?”

“I do not know.”

“Don’t you know?”

When I asked, narrowing my eyebrows, Grania, who was next to me, answered instead.

“Obviously they were caught together, but we were brought here and the two were sent elsewhere. Please release this immediately. It looks like it’s still under siege.” The key was not too difficult to find. Among the soldiers dealt with above, one of the other outfits was a guard.

Hrunting swung with a fierce shout and blew a soldier through his shield.

Then, he blocked the ax that came from the side with his shield and stabbed his sword deeply under the attacker’s helmet.

Leaving behind the guy who pierced his eyeball and trembled, I started rampaging with the blade dyed red.

Grania and Sister Olga were looking after me, so the enemies couldn’t completely surround me.

Thanks to that, I swept the narrow room to my heart’s content and it took less than 3 minutes to kill all the enemies.

“haha. I’m going to die.”

I plucked the sword from the last soldier’s chest and sat down.

“Are you okay with Phoenix?”

“No *hehe* it’s so hard.”

The battle with the elite soldiers was more tiring than expected.

The guards of Seongju came out with their weapons at the slightest gap.

Thanks to that, I had to twist my body to receive the attack with my armor, and every time I did, it felt like my muscles were tearing and my bones were breaking.

In addition, it was not easy to handle because of the strong armament.

The only thing he could aim for was his face, and even that was covered with a chain cover. My wrists felt sore every time I pierced a chain with a knife, probably because it was a proper item, not a cheap one.

It’s fortunate that the blade isn’t damaged, but I’m afraid I’ll break my wrists and elbows before that.

This fatigue continued to accumulate through successive fierce battles, and although his body was strong, he was enduring it, but the hardships were difficult.

Of course, it would have been better if he had used the ‘Loot’ skill... but he couldn’t be sucking human blood in front of a priest.

“Lord, who watches over all ages. Come into the hands of your servant and show love.”

With a short murmur, Sister Olga’s hands glowed white. When his shining hand touched his head, a faint light poured out and embraced his whole body.

Hurulung.

Ugh, the pain is getting less.

Compared to the priests in the church, they are inferior, but Sister Olga’s Holy Order seems to be quite usable.

It must be because of this that Grania is dragging this clumsy nun around.

“Whoa, thank you. I just want to live a little longer.”

I caught my breath and turned my shoulders, and Grania said as if she was dumbfounded.

“You’ve already killed over twenty people fighting in the palace tower over there, right? It’s nothing to say that you wiped out half of the castle guards... You couldn’t even hold a sword properly until a month ago, did you?”

“Oh, was it? Every time I fight to the point of falling behind, my skills improve quickly.” When I trembled, Grania burst into laughter and shook her head. I laughed too and got up from my seat.

I went out into the hallway through the door through which the enemy soldiers came in, but I couldn’t feel any presence.

The row of candlesticks lit up the hallway, so I could see the lattice door on the other side at a glance. Certainly not a single enemy was visible.

“...what?”

“It might be a trap.”

Grania’s dark brown eyes were shining brightly under the tightly pressed helmet.

“Watch out for ceilings and corners. Arrows may fly out of nowhere.” But to put it mildly, there were no raids or traps as we ambled through the corridors.

When I reached the hoist to raise the lattice door and no one showed up, I let out a weary breath.

“Did he run away?”

“Where is the corner to escape? It must have gone up.”

oh well i guess

The corridor leading from the palace tower to the lattice door was narrow enough for me to barely pass through.

Even considering that my physique was far above average, it was a structure in which more than one heavily armed soldier could not stand.

What if the SS run into me in this environment? It won’t do any damage, and it will all be cut.

The reason they were dangerous was because they had been surrounded by numbers. No matter how elite soldiers were, if they attacked one by one, they would be nothing more than an easy opponent.

Thinking like that, it makes sense for them to step back... but it’s kind of embarrassing.

...uh what?

“Hey, why are you like this?”

“huh? why’?”

Grania crumpled her face when she found what I was pointing at.

“Damn it. Did you lose your machine? ”

Fuck, that’s right. I wondered how things could be solved easily.
