Chapter 10

Wolf h urtng

Boom boom boom-!

The cannons on the wall set off fire in unison.

Swish!

Then the arrows from the archers fell.

The shells and arrows were all aimed at Canis.

Tap!

However, Canis escaped the shell and arrow rain with one leap. Only the empty spot where Canis had been until a while ago was devastated.

Having learned well how difficult it would be to be swept away by crossfire in the last battle, Canis did everything in his power to avoid this situation. He was so quick that it was hard to believe that he was injured.

However, Huey did not intend to catch Canis with arrows or shells in the first place.

This attack was only aiming at pushing the wounded wolf to the hunting ground.

Canis, who was running frantically to avoid the fire, stopped walking at once, He was at the corner of the inner fortress, It was next to a mountain and had the highest walls.

When Canis turned back against the wall, Eindel's soldiers, who were hiding everywhere, came out and surrounded Canis in a circle.

It was only then that Canis realized that he had been led to this place, There was a ridiculous smile on his bloody mouth.

"I was wondering what a great strategy you had, and it's a hand-to-hand battle after all?"

His hand holding his sword trembled.

It wasn't because of an injury, but because of anger.

"How dare you, against me-i

Canis1 huge sword was swung through the air, Every time he swung it, a terrifying attack cut in half the group of soldiers.

Bump!

However, Eindel's soldiers were saved.

They had a reinforced shield with three layers of regular shields.

"Cough!

"Argh!

The soldiers rolled back in unison, but none of them died.

"What..."

Only then could the soldiers' armament be seen in Canis' eyes.

Eindel's soldiers were making a thick shield with both hands without a weapon.

"What are you-?!"

Bang! Bang!

Canis swung his sword again and again, but it was the same. The soldiers fell again and again, but none of them died.

If Canis had not been tired and hurt, that kind of shield might have been easily torn apart.

However, Canis' condition was the worst. He had not recovered his stamina consumed by the last battle, and there was no place where he was not injured after falling into Huey's trap, He just could not pull himself together.

He could be stopped.

The eyes of the soldiers who realized it shone viciously.

"You guys must be looking down on me..."

Canis, who felt that the soldiers' eyes looking at him had changed completely, made his mind.

"I'll show you how it is!"

Thud!

Canis' left foot took a step forward. It was such a powerful step that all the tiles on the floor soared above the impact.

Thud-!

Immediately afterwards, the large sword, which he had pulled back, was fired forward with a tremendous force. It was a simple stab, but it was different in power when a Dragon Knight of the Brunhilt Empire put all his effort into it.

A swing might be prevented by several people, but a stab could pierce a single point!

Crush-!

However, it was blocked.

Before he knew it, a huge shield engraved with a skull appeared in front of Canis, preventing him from stabbing.

"?!"

"Ugh... Ack!"

Kay, the red-haired female knight with a shield, was pushed back.

Thump!

The power of the stabbing was so strong that Kay could only stop after being stuck in the wall of the building behind her.

"Cough cough, haha... What the heck.

Kay, who coolly swept back her disorganized short hair, laughed proudly.

"There's nothing special about Brunhilt's Dragon Knights!

"You're bleeding, Sir Kay."

Shion, who walked to the side, said, raising her shield forward. Annoyed, Kay pulled the mace from her waist.

"Isn't it good like this, Shion? Praise me for blocking well!"

"You have to keep blocking, but I can't praise you every time.

Canis growled and gritted his teeth.

"Eindel's knights...!

"Yes, the last of those youve killed. Greetings!"

Kay smiled viciously as she twirled the mace in her hand.

"Come to think of it, I couldn't even introduce myself last time."

Shion, who held the sword, said calmly.

"One of us won't survive, but let's introduce ourselves."

A smile also appeared on Canis' bloody mouth.

"That's good! There's nothing more fun than introducing yourself to the ones you're about to kill!"

Standing straight ahead, Canis shouted his name.

"The third Dragon Knight of the Brunhilt Empire, Canis Dirus...!"

Shion and Kay strained their bodies and prepared to run forward.

"The Commander of the Knights of the Kingdom of Eindel, Shion Magnus.

"4th in the Knights' Ranking of the Kingdom of Eindel, Kay Smirahon!

After a moment of silence.

Both knights rushed at Canis at the same time.

"Here we go!"

"Come on!"

Canis, who pulled the sword back and lowered his posture, smiled like a wolf.

"Good, good, good! Let's have a little fun-i

Shion and Kay's long swords fell toward Canis at the same time.

Clank-!

Canis stopped both of them with a single swing of his sword.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"What!"

He did not stop at blocking them, but after a brief struggle, he just blew the two back.

Bang!

"Ugh!"

"Cough!

Canis, looking back, had to stop talking.

Handel was leaping at him with his beard flying, In each hand was a flashing dagger.

An unexpected raid from above allowed another attack. Handel's two daggers were locked between Canis' shoulders and neck.

"Argh!

"Ha, what do you think? Even if I'm old, I can still do-'

An uppercut from Canis hit Handel's chin when he was about to throw a joke.

Handel and Canis exchanged stabs and punches like this.

"Gasp..."

At the same time as the old knight's beard turned red, he took a kick in the middle of the stomach.

Thud!

Handel, who had flown away, fell on the shields of the soldiers, and the formation of the soldiers collapsed.

Canis rushed in and tried to finish him, but realized that his body was not moving as he wanted.

The pain and fatigue of the injuries came all at once. He felt as if all the blood in his body had hardened.

Above all, the wound in his shoulder was the worst, He could not use his strength properly.

"Damn...

For the first time, the Dragon Knight's legs staggered.

As soon as Canis closed and opened his tired eyes, Shion was just in front of him.

Her icy blue eyes flashed clearly.

"Ack?!

Swo osh-!

Canis swung his great sword reflexively. Shion immediately raised her shield and blocked it.

Tack!

Though exhausted, the sword strike of the Dragon Knight was powerful. Her reinforced shield ripped off like a piece of paper.

But the shield was a fake. As soon as the sword touched it, Shion let go of the shield and stepped further toward Canis.

At a close distance, Shion spun her body and swung her long sword, Her short black hair twisted and painted a beautiful arc, and the tip of the long sword split the air more smoothly than that.

Swo osh-!

Her sword rose from bottom to top and obliquely slashed through Canis' helmet, splashing red sparks. The wolf's head helmet, which had been tattered by fire and shock, was split in two.

The long sword cut off the rig ht earlobe of Canis, carved a scar across the middle of his face, and scratched his left eyebrow. The silver wolf's handsome face was covered in blood in an instant.

But it was not a fatal wound.

For Shion, who exposed a gap while attacking, Canis struck down his great sword like a thunderbolt.

Swoosh-!

Shion's hair was cut and scattered in the air.

Canis opened his eyes wide.

Shion took a step sideways as soon as her attack was over, and Canis' sword brushed right beside her face.

Her hair that got cut flew wildly with the sword's swing, and burned in the flames.

Shion's blue eyes closed and opened straight.

Slash!

Shion cut Canis in the side. It was the part that Kay had hit with her mace a while ago.

"Ugh... Argh..."

His tattered breastplates fell with his blood, and Canis finally knelt on one knee. His great sword, which had never stopped, was stuck on the floor.

"It's over, Canis!"

Shion leapt at him. She could see the victory in her eyes. They could finally end this bloody battle!

...It was an illusion, though.

Canis swung his sword from his kneeling position. Surprised Shion reflexively blocked it with her sword, but it was not a proper defense.

Bang!

Shion was pushed to the side just as she was running.

She was able to stop after three bounces and dozens of turns.

"C-Cough! Cough!"

Her brief negligence was painful. Her long sword was smashed, and her left arm was broken, Her whole body was in tatters. She wondered how she was still alive.

Shion vomited blood and tried to raise herself up, but she could not.

"Ugh, uh...!

In her blood-soaked eyes, she saw Canis slowly rising up.

"...is this the end, Eindel's pigs?"

The wolf grinned.

There was no uninjured place in his whole body, but in the end, Canis was the only knight standing in this night of fire and blood.

"I don't think there's anyone who can stop me anymore..."

Canis giggled viciously as he glanced around the soldiers surrounding him.

"Stand in a line quietly and stick your neck out, and I'll hit your neck without pain."

The soldiers exchanged glances at each other without saying anything, And without backing down, they advanced one step at a time toward Canis.

"What? Are you still going to fight? With only shields?"

Canis looked at the soldiers, slowly approaching him, with a sneer.

"Then I can't help it, it'll hurt a little.

The next moment, the soldiers all shouted and rushed in.

"Whooooaah-!"

The soldiers rushed with the shields in front of them, and Canis thought about how to attack them effectively. At that moment, the soldiers took something out of the shield.

?!

They had been told to put it on the inside of the shield, and not to take it out until all the knights had fallen. It was flashing blue...

It was a hook.

A cold sweat ran down Canis' chin.

"Damn it."

Canis swung his sword. Six soldiers who blocked the attack with shields fell off. One more swing, the two who were hit directly died instantly, and two other flew away.

But he could not stop everyone.

Canis' next attack cut three soldiers and their shields in half. However, two soldiers who abandoned their shields clung behind him.

Tuck! Tuck!

A hook was lodged in the gap where his armor had fallen off.

Canis, who gritted his teeth and endured with a groan, swung his great sword around, and the two soldiers attached to his back were torn apart. Canis grinned and lifted his sword again.

But the rest of the soldiers were already stabbing him with hooks. Eight hooks were simultaneously lodged in Canis' body.

"Argh... Aaah!"

Canis shouted and swung his sword, cutting down all the soldiers attached to him.

And that was it.

His arm stopped moving. Only then did Canis notice that his knees had touched the ground.

"Haha.

Facing the evil faces of the soldiers who rushed at him, Canis smiled contentedly.

"Not bad, pigs."

Dozens of hooks were locked in Canis with the screams of the soldiers.
