Episode 77
They couldn’t hide their laughter because they were so happy.
Their number is seven.
There are five of us. They were superior in numbers alone.
Unlike all of them who were working on the front lines, Ellis and Reina were not on full force.
Not only do they have no strength, they don’t know how to fight.
So, in reality, it should be seen as seven people versus three.
On the surface, we were at a disadvantage.
They were veterans who had lived against monsters for many years.
On the contrary, those with me were not like that.
Just by looking at Mahol and Raina, their appearance made you think, ‘I’m young!’
However, they could not attack easily.
Before they knew it,
Mahol’s murderous spirit that had filled the surroundings was putting pressure on them.
It was so vicious that the blades of grass that touched it withered away.
The concentration is so thick that it would not be strange for an ordinary person to collapse on the spot.
It wouldn’t be strange to say it was poison, but it was coming from Mahol, who seemed weak.
But what was surprising was that the only ones affected by this killing were those who were hostile to us.
“...!”
Unlike those people who turned pale and retreated, the faces of those of us who were within range were calm.
Mahol was making adjustments.
At first, the deadly force that was scattered carelessly can now be freely used only to those who need it.
That could be seen as a leap forward.
‘That’s great.’
It was amazing.
I liked the way he tried to become stronger somehow.
We can’t leave everything to Mahol alone.
Slurp.
I slowly drew my sword.
Amidst the intensive killing, a sharp-colored sword body appeared.
The horrifying sound of the sword being drawn shifted their gaze from Mahol to me.
At that gaze, I opened my mouth with a cool smile.
“Warning...”
I could see their ears perk up at the sound of my voice.
I had no intention of acting.
I just played one person as if it was natural.
A man who is most suitable for this situation and has reached the highest level when it comes to swords.
My body played Count Warrug.
It was like a habit and natural.
For me, acting was like eating.
The momentum that rose with the Aura became so great that it encompassed Mahol’s entire life.
“...Fuck.”
One of them cursed.
And then I saw him hastily covering his mouth.
[‘The nameless god’ gives a small exclamation at your appearance.]
Nevertheless, their gaze did not move from me.
I only focused on my lips slowly grazing my face.
“I warned you too. “I also warn you.”
There was no need to show respect.
Since they came to rob me, it would be too much to talk informally to them.
“If you go back now, I will save your life.”
While saying those words, he swung his sword sideways.
They trembled and grabbed their weapons.
My sword hit the side of the tree next to me.
Sararak.
The tree shook and leaves fell to the ground.
“Make a decision before this leaf falls to the ground.”
They started to notice each other.
Dangerous.
They were feeling it.
Because I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t notice that the situation was strange.
If you can’t even feel that, it’s hard to be a mercenary.
Just because you’re a mercenary doesn’t mean you’re strong enough.
Even mercenaries must be able to use their wits to some extent.
You need to be able to recognize traps in order to survive as a mercenary.
That is why they are worried and looking at each other.
Although they know in their head that it is dangerous, they cannot move because they outnumber us.
‘There are so many of us, how can we possibly lose?’
That thought, along with the thought that it was dangerous, was also present in their heads.
It is not for nothing that there is a saying that there is no business in Daguri.
No matter how strong a person is, he cannot use his strength on quantity.
Because you have to chant.
But she was almost like a chanter.
The way she used magic with incredible mental calculation speed and multi-casted it showed why she was a genius.
Just looking at her multicasting and chanting speed, she was close to an archmage.
In addition, the destructive power was strong.
In addition to the fast chanting speed, the accuracy was also excellent.
“Shit!”
They were charred, breathing heavily, and rushed at Beatrice, swinging their swords.
When fighting, it was common sense to deal with the wizard first.
In battle, wizards were a variable in many ways.
But I wasn’t there to watch it quietly.
“When I tell you to run away, you run away.”
He swung his sword in front of Beatrice.
Quad deuk.
The weapons they were holding were broken and all their fingers holding them were broken.
“Kwaaaak!”
I stabbed the screaming guy in the chest.
Okay.
I felt my ribs being broken and my heart being pierced.
I grabbed the sword back and swung it sideways, kicking the guy’s body.
The sword is drawn.
Kwaaaaang!
It collided with an ax filled with aura.
“Air boom!”
Air burst out in front of the man holding the axe, causing his body to bounce back.
“Kaaaaak!”
He grabbed his face with one hand and ran into the arms of the axe-wielding guy.
Then, he stabbed the hand holding the ax with the handle and grabbed the guy’s neck with the other hand.
“Ugh... Wow...!”
Without even thinking about swinging the axe, I threw the struggling body of the guy.
Coo!
“evil!”
The man who was aiming for Mahol’s back collided with the man I had thrown and rolled on the ground.
Mahol glanced at me and threw his dagger.
Kujik.
A dagger pierced between their eyes.
Mahol’s face was expressionless as he killed people.
As if he were killing an insect, his eyes contained no other emotion than hostility and contempt.
“If only it wasn’t a monster...!”
Quad deuk.
Mahol, who killed even the last remaining person, approached me, pulling a dagger from the corpse.
Every time I took a step, the deadly force disappeared, and by the time it reached me, the deadly force had completely disappeared.
“You walk around dirty and covered in blood.”
I took the cloth out of my arms and handed it to him, then looked back at Ellis and Reina.
Still, I somehow managed to calm my heart by saying that this was not my first experience like this.
I looked back at them and looked down at the man’s body looking up at me with wide eyes.
‘What on earth did the monster say?’
I kept wondering why they had to hunt humans instead of monsters.
Who was the monster that made them have to give up hunting it?
It wasn’t what I expected.
Hero?
Not the main character.
The main character enters the North next year.
The day when information was stolen from the underworld and brought to the North.
At least not now.
If that’s the case, then it means it’s someone else.
Could it be that the movements were made by superhumans with heavy hips?
The superhumans I know are not people who move easily.
Taurin, the northern swordmaster, never leaves the desert.
The kingdom’s sword master and archmage do not move unless ordered by the king.
‘But it is also ambiguous to say that the emperor gave the order.’
Unless the emperor went crazy, there was no way he would send a sword master from the north.
Even if it is an empire, it cannot force open the northern gate.
If you try to force it open, the entire continent will rise up.
A sword master or archmage is no different from a one-man army.
Unless it’s something really important, I won’t move them even if it means reducing my power.
Then, there is something else.
“It doesn’t matter as long as it’s the main character.”
okay.
What if someone moves?
As long as I’m not the main character, all I have to do is achieve my goal here and leave.
