Episode 85
The reaction of my companions when they saw me was unusual.
Ahar looked at me with interest.
Mahol, who was lying on the ground, looked at me with eyes filled with complicated feelings.
Beatrice’s face, who had been panting while leaning on her cane, became stiff.
Ellis was hurriedly running towards me, bringing Reina with her.
“Master Raymond.”
“what?”
Why is he doing this all of a sudden?
In the North, they call it Red Mill.
For a moment, I felt a shiver run down my spine.
‘wait for a sec. No way....’
While trying to shout at her, he hurriedly raised his hand and touched her face.
Instead of the hard, cold feel of a mask, I felt human skin.
‘There is no mask.’
I think it fell while fighting Reid.
Since I wasn’t wearing a human skin mask like Ellis, I was now showing my original face.
Simply put, it was ruined.
When Ellis saw me revealing my face, I think he thought I was no longer hiding my identity.
Otherwise there would be no reason to call me Raymond.
“It’s all you...”
The most troublesome one is Beatrice.
She was looking at me with a very shocked face.
Even though Reid was right in front of me with his eyes red, her eyes were focused on me.
It was such a big shock.
“you. “You’ve met me before.”
Ahar smiled brightly as he stepped on Reid’s head.
That smile was so bright that it gave me goosebumps.
It seemed like it was saying that since it had seen my face, it could visit me at any time.
“Ha... That’s troublesome.”
It’s the same with dragons and it’s the same now.
There are so many things these days that don’t go as planned.
He drew his sword and approached Ahar.
Reid, who was crushed at his feet, was barely breathing lightly.
His condition was so bad that it seemed like he would die soon if left like this.
“Raymond. be careful! “That guy suddenly attacked!”
Mahol shouted, breathing heavily.
I glanced at him and nodded slightly.
That much is expected.
What I told Mahol was to avoid battle as much as possible.
But to take damage like this and glare at Ahar.
I could tell what had happened while I was away without having to listen.
“Honestly, I was a little sad that you weren’t there. “It would have been nice to finish it all in one go.”
Was there originally a lot of talk?
In the novel, he always walked alone, so you couldn’t tell whether he talked a lot or not.
“Where have you been? “Thanks to you disappearing in the middle of the day, I went through a hard time that I didn’t have to go through.”
Now I think I understand.
He is quite talkative.
I listened to his words and looked at his body.
“It was difficult. “If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have been able to catch it like this.”
The grinning man’s physical condition could not be said to be very good.
First, the bones in his left arm were broken or crushed.
The bridge looked as if it had been crushed by a car wheel, so it was a wonder that it was standing still.
The belly cord was torn and the intestines were spilling out.
It was surprising that he was alive in that condition, but it wasn’t that surprising if you knew what kind of person he was.
“If I hadn’t gone hunting before meeting you, I would have been in danger too.”
Troll’s Talent In another sense, the troll’s deceptive regenerative power.
Ahar killed trolls and had a regenerative power comparable to that of trolls.
To kill him, you have to explode his brain or heart like you would a troll.
Otherwise, you will recover steadily, even if slowly.
Coo. Clutter.
Even now, Ahar’s body was regenerating.
The sound produced while playing could be heard up to here.
‘What a monster.’
I feel like I can win if I fight now.
In times like that, you shouldn’t attack.
That’s what’s causing you to let down your guard.
If I attack at that time, I could end up getting hit.
However, they could not be coordinated properly.
In the novel, the time when he properly used those powers was when he killed Raymond and took away his swordsmanship talent.
His talent in swordsmanship allowed him to grasp the power he possessed and use it effectively.
‘I’m at a disadvantage.’
Even though he didn’t have any sword skills right now, the talent he had right now was strong enough.
At least I could barely survive on my own.
If I had a companion, I would have somehow been able to win or chase them away.
“Ugh.”
“Whoop... Whoop...!”
Mahol and Beatrice were helpless.
The tendons of Mahol’s wrists and ankles were cut, and Beatrice was unable to use magic because she had consumed all of her mana.
You can use tendon potions and recover mana.
It doesn’t help right now.
So, I have to somehow solve him on my own.
‘It’s going to turn.’
I wasn’t confident.
Ahar had excellent fighting sense.
Should I say that he is a person who becomes stronger while fighting?
He continued to grow stronger even as he clashed swords with me.
it’s tough.
Because I was lacking in physical strength for a long time, I was at a disadvantage as time went by.
However, it wasn’t like he had the power to knock him out with one blow.
The only good thing is that I killed Reid before I fought him.
“How long are you going to avoid it!”
Huh!
Ahar, whose face was red as if he was intoxicated by the sight of me avoiding the food, followed closely behind.
It seemed like he was determined to somehow kill me and take away my talent.
“Hmph!”
It’s hard to speak properly.
I was busy avoiding and blocking his sword while maintaining my breathing as much as possible.
Quad deuk.
The bone in his wrist that blocked Ahar’s attack was broken.
From now on, you must use only your right hand.
“This is the end.”
Ahar swung his sword with a bright face, as if he had predicted his victory.
Kang kaang. Kakakakang!
It is definitely difficult to block with both hands and then block with one hand.
Plus, I was losing my stamina, so I felt like I was going crazy.
It would be great if someone could help.
‘Beatrice... it’s impossible. Mahol is also having a hard time.’
Blood was flowing from her mouth as she was collecting mana.
Mahol was still crawling, struggling to get up while holding his dagger.
“shit!”
bang! Crack.
Even his right hand was broken and the sword was thrown far away.
There was nothing to protect me now.
“I’ll take care of yours.”
Ahar smiled brightly with a mad face and raised his sword high.
I stared blankly at the sword slowly approaching me.
Am I going to die like this?
it’s a shame. I didn’t try so hard to die in vain like this.
It was even unfair.
If only I had been given a little more time. If I had had a little more opportunity, I wouldn’t have suffered this much.
I closed my eyes.
I waited for death to come soon.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
As soon as I could close my eyes, I heard a huge roar and the wind blew in front of my face.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Ahar’s scream was heard.
“...?”
When I opened my eyes to the sound, I felt a soft touch on my head.
Kyuun Kyuu!
With a complaining cry, a small, chubby paw tapped my head.
“What...”
The hatchling, who was supposed to be playing with Reid right now, was suddenly hanging over my head.
Ahar, who was attacking me, was not even visible.
The dirt and trees mixed together in front of me felt like a huge typhoon.
Wow!
And then I saw the hatchling’s head, as if saying, ‘I did well!’
