Helmut
Episode 250
Would it have been easier if I had been alone? I would have been able to get him out without having to fight.
Even if Helmut says he can defeat him, he can’t even trust Charlotte.
Is it reasonable to pour everything into such a situation?
It was very disappointing that Area was not there.
However, Helmut had to ensure the safety of the Archduke, and before that, he had to protect Charlotte.
‘It would be helpful to be the Black Wing Knight Commander.’
If you keep fighting anyway, people will come. Alonso, the commander of the Black Wing Knights, will run ahead of anyone else.
The only thing that can be called an enemy in this mountain is this monster in front of me.
‘I hope others don’t notice his identity.’
Various monsters live in this world. Usually a place with few people.
The types of monsters are different in each region. People didn’t know much about the monster’s characteristics other than that it was vicious.
Only a few wizards have studied monsters separately.
‘So, it would be safe to say that a monster that knows how to use a sword has appeared.’
Coincidentally, around the time I met my mother, a monster with sprouts of darkness appeared.
A human being eaten by the sprouts of darkness. If my mother finds out about his existence, how will she view Helmut?
Helmut gritted his teeth.
Would it have been better if he hadn’t been in Rinosa?
No, if that were the case, there would be no one to deal with this monster, so more people would be in danger.
The flow had already led Helmut here and he had to do what he could.
The guy had stopped attacking and was looking at the other side of the forest.
For some reason, I was distracted, as if Helmut had disappeared from my mind.
The guy’s eyes narrowed.
It was only after a while that Helmut realized why the guy reacted that way.
This is because I felt a subtle presence running through the forest on the other side.
Although it wasn’t running loudly, I could feel it moving quickly through the forest.
Adult male probably knight.
And the monster had keener senses than Helmut.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A low throaty cry came out. And in the blink of an eye.
Pop! The guy kicked the ground and ran away. The target has changed.
‘this.’
It was an unfortunate situation. I was hoping someone would get his attention, but I didn’t want him to change direction so blatantly.
Helmut was able to withdraw from here and join the main force.
But in that case, that knight will definitely die.
Helmut didn’t worry. Dead people cannot be brought back to life. If the author is someone who should not die…
Helmut immediately throws himself away.
Tap, tap, tap! He crossed the forest by climbing a tree.
It was an unbelievable speed. The blood becomes hot throughout the body. The prey was over there.
The meat of the knight I tasted earlier was also quite tasty. Firm and elastic meat filled with lots of fish!
It was a shame that my meal was interrupted and I couldn’t enjoy it properly, but why not catch a new guy?
He was an interesting opponent, but there was no need to waste time fighting him. All you have to do is find easier prey!
The corners of the monster’s mouth rose vertically and viciously.
Even the knight knew of his approach. There was no way I didn’t know. The existence of a monster running towards me, spewing out magical energy!
The guy wasn’t hiding himself at all. Under the same conditions, humans could not be faster than horses.
The knight galloped in fear, but his speed was not enough to outrun the monster.
The monster flew through the forest and hit the knight on the back.
Whiing! Something flew and hit my hand, which was thrown down with incredible speed. Kang!
The knight threw his body to the side with a sound.
The monster’s hand, which was stopped for a moment, slapped the empty floor. Kwajak!
“Krrrrr.”
The monster turned its head towards the direction from which the object came. The eyes were full of anger.
Helmut stood on the other side holding a bow. Helmut couldn’t outrun him, so he stopped him from a distance at the right time.
Helmut threw down his bow without even thinking about it and immediately pulled out his sword.
He ran straight towards the monster. He’s trying to close the distance when he gets on the guy’s nerves again.
He looked at Helmut who was running towards him like he was looking at a monster that was bothering him.
Unlike the others, it wasn’t easy.
As Helmut got closer, the knight, who had been observing the situation while holding his breath, moved his body.
Rustle. The monster’s gaze returned to a small sound.
“Kaaaaaaaa!”
The guy launched himself straight at the knight. This time Helmut was able to stop it.
Helmut, activating his entire body with Visor, approached at high speed and plunged his sword into the monster’s back.
Quack! I heard the sound of my spine breaking. The monster screamed and turned around. Finally, one strike was successful.
Helmut pulled out his sword and shouted at the frozen Black Wing Knights.
“Go quickly!”
He must have been serving the Grand Duke. The reason he appeared here alone was probably because he wanted to go to the main base and ask for help.
It is highly likely that the Archduke is alive. Not yet.
Only if he is rescued quickly and made safe will Helmut be able to decide whether to continue fighting this guy or leave him.
“Who are you…!”
bang! Helmut countered the monster’s attack with his sword without replying.
“Kaaaaang!”
The monster screamed fiercely, as if it was angry at being blocked, and lashed out at Helmut.
The slight injury didn’t seem to affect him much.
The combined bodies of Magi and Vis collide, and the impact spreads in all directions.
The wave hit the tree with the wind. It looked like a storm had struck.
The Black Wing Knights flinched and stood up.
Without worrying about whether he should fight together, he realized that it wouldn’t help if he stayed here any longer.
The unknown boy was strong and could take on the monster.
He calmly determined that he was nothing but a burden.
The knight had to complete his mission. Announcement of the Archduke’s whereabouts.
“Hold on a little while and I’ll call someone!”
The knight who shouted like that gritted his teeth and ran. Helmut’s difficult fight began again.
*
Someone other than him at that time. The knight who took a different route reached the main camp.
He heaved a sigh of relief and was immediately led in front of Charlotte and Alonso.
“Her Highness the Grand Duchess. “Commander of the Knights!”
“You are.”
The knight who reported on the Archduke’s location and current situation bowed his head. The two men talked about him.
“Securing the Archduke’s safety comes first, so it is not a good idea to fight him. Wizards would be able to hide their attention from him using stealth magic. We mainly dispatch wizards. “How about using movement magic right then and there to take the Archduke to a safe place?”
When Alonso, the commander of the Black Wing Knights, recommended it, Charlotte nodded.
“good idea. Wouldn’t it be better for the Knight Commander to go with us?”
“I must protect not only His Highness the Archduke, but also the Archduchess. A monster might appear here, and I can’t go there alone. However, the two of us cannot leave this place together. “Because we need someone to lead the troops.”
Charlotte agreed. I wanted to check the Archduke’s safety myself, but that would be a matter of checking there after I moved it using movement magic.
Because Michael has a mother too.
There was one more thing Charlotte had to do now.
“All right. Then that monster… we can’t leave it alone. “He is the one who attacked His Highness, killed the members of the Black Wing Knights, and terrified the nearby residents.”
I know it won’t be easy to take down a guy like that.
This is the guy who killed as many as seven members of the Black Wing Knights.
But it wasn’t a situation where I could leave it alone.
“A force of this size cannot be absent from the system for long. There’s a lot of power here, so it might be a good idea to kill the monster. But that boy named Helmut…”
Alonso frowned.
“There is no news. “I don’t know what happened.”
He looked towards the foggy forest and immediately opened his mouth again.
“I guess I should go and see.”
*
It was a tough struggle. Although he holds Darian’s sword, it is not a legendary sword and there is no way that a difficult person will suddenly become easy.
There were many disadvantages. It was fortunate that the sprout of darkness sensed the demonic energy and did not have a seizure.
‘It looks like I want to live too.’
Or perhaps he was enjoying a feast for the first time in a long time while absorbing his demonic energy little by little.
The sprout of darkness, which had become as small as a bean, was slowly expanding in size within Helmut’s heart.
‘Did they arrive at the main university soon?’
Fighting against the strong is not a bad thing. Helmut sometimes enjoyed it.
Even as he attacked Darian and as he attacked Elaga.
However, Helmut did not want to die immediately while fighting an opponent who was clearly stronger than him and likely to be defeated.
Helmut was rational until the end. Those with sprouts of darkness are obsessed with life. Helmut wanted to live. His fight presupposes the possibility of victory.
‘Should I lose weight?’
Helmut thought about it again.
If two swordsmen fight and their abilities are similar, the winner is decided by the total amount of Vis.
Helmut had an enormous amount of vis for his age, but it was nothing compared to a monster that had bloomed the buds of darkness.
The monster seemed to be getting stronger.
It must have felt that way because while Helmut was gradually wearing down physically, he was fine.
I inflicted a few wounds, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.
No, I could see with my own eyes that the wounds I had sustained were healing again.
He was absorbing the magical energy that I had spread in this mountain and making the forest’s energy his own.
Just like practicing Vis training, one absorbs demonic energy through fighting.
That demon greatly helped him recover.
‘It’s an enviable circular structure.’
If things continue that way, we could fight infinitely.
If this forest doesn’t dry out. This is possible because they are monsters, not humans.
In any case, Helmut had to make a decision before he ran out of vis.
It won’t be impossible to escape. I am also confident in hiding my presence.
And soon the situation changed unexpectedly.
