Episode 173
Spare. Pooh-!
The splattered blood stains the pure white eyes red.
“Lini!”
“Goes!”
A black hair who fights against a huge demon.
Zervan’s Lini, now in the form of a girl, brandished a sword.
Chew-!
thud!
The falling beast’s neck.
But that’s not the end.
At the sight of the monsters attacking one after another, Livan, who is with Rini, raises his sword.
Twin siblings Livan and Lini.
Along with the image of the monsters attacking them, someone’s sword attack rushes in.
Let’s go-!!
A new model falls to the ground along with the appearance of the demonic beasts that are divided into five parts.
“Flora!”
“Go right! you guys help too! That bastard is alone now!”
Brown-haired Flora.
Flora, who was the alley leader of Kaladi, is no longer there.
He only has a silver brooch that proves his second place in the academy.
And at that end she runs.
“You damn kids dare!!”
A lady who deals with a follower who controls demon beasts with bloodshot eyes.
A girl with black hair, the symbol of Zervan, sticking to short hair that falls like a knife.
No, she has grown to the point where she can be called a lady now, and wears a gold brooch.
There was Emily von Zervan.
“How do you feel about that kid?”
“Who gets it! I was hit…”
Jorreuuk.
When I wiped it with my hand, there was blood.
‘Suddenly…!’
In the blink of an eye, I cut my cheek.
I forcibly calmed my startled heart and tried not to express my agitation.
Whoo-!
“It’s already too late.”
Emily, approaching right in front of her nose, plunged her sword into the follower’s chest.
“How already… they’re reinforced with my thread and stake!”
hooked! Wood deok!
with the sound of bones breaking.
Emily answered calmly.
“Hunting monsters is the fate given to Zervan. Besides, I already killed them three years ago to the point of getting sick of them.”
Do you want an answer?
“Ouch!”
With the bloody groans of followers.
The images of the dead Demonic Beasts split in half are reflected in the eyes of the follower.
In an instant, he slaughtered the four monsters and drove the sword into his chest.
The threads wrapped around the follower’s hands have long since been torn.
It was a complete defeat.
thud.
“I was going to help, but I didn’t need it.”
Flora rushed over and scratched the back of her head as if embarrassed.
Chew.
After removing the sword from the follower’s corpse, Emily said as she wiped away the blood.
“Followers are followers of thread. The power of the body is weak.”
No matter how weak the body’s power is.
The academy academy was not an enemy that could be easily killed. Flora wanted to say, but stopped.
Because he knew her strength better.
‘monster.’
At the age of 15, he was already a monster that could easily defeat ordinary average knights.
A genius who was immediately evaluated by all the professors at the academy as having enough skills to be awarded a knighthood.
Even Pope Philise, who teaches her and them, praises her as a genius who will stick out her tongue.
‘It’s to the point where, as a habit, I’ve been told to quit the academy right away and sit in an important position in the church.’
Killing followers of other gods is not a big point of pride for her.
“But they seem to be digging traps instead. I struggled quite a bit.”
I trembled as I recalled the moment when the approaching Livan fell into their trap.
The threads installed all over the forest made me almost run away from my neck.
The followers’ traps were simple, but equally powerful.
“It’s really annoying. If it wasn’t for these guys, I could have completed this practical test while living comfortably in the North!”
Rini also stepped on the corpse of her follower as if it were the same.
“It can’t be helped. It is also an exhibition situation in its own right now.”
Originally, they came to the north to take the academy’s practical exam.
But somehow, the academy professors disappeared one by one, and people called followers are running rampant in the north.
So they were also dealing with the followers who came out separately to help the North in their own way.
“It’s been a while since I came back to my hometown, and I’m feeling all right.”
“Well that’s it.”
“Still, if you play an active role here, you will be rewarded, whether in Zervan or the royal family. I will be satisfied with that.”
Unlike the perky Flora.
The Livan Rini siblings had very uneasy faces.
“what’s the matter?”
“I just remembered three years ago.”
three years ago.
He must be talking about the time of the Orc Invasion War.
“Isn’t Emily thinking about that too? It’s because I went through the war while following Colius-sama. real then It was a terrible and glorious day, even now, when I think about it.”
“It’s terrible, but why are you honored?”
Flora asked.
Rini said with her chest wide open as if she was proud of herself.
“Because it was the day that Carliers became a hero. Why not be glorious!”
“Wow…that’s a bit envious.”
“…there is nothing to envy. At that time, only the number of soldiers and knights who died in the north exceeded four digits.”
Behind the brilliant hero’s epic, fierce deaths are always piled up.
“That’s kind of sad…”
Lini puffed out her cheeks and Livan was pessimistic.
Flora, who is just curious, and Emily, who handles her sword with a nonchalant expression.
The red thread tied to the witch’s eyes comes into her eyes.
“This was pretty tough.”
“Ah oh. Perhaps, like the corpse, it is a human-made thread. It was tougher than I thought, so when I cut the beast’s head, I almost couldn’t cut it in an instant.”
I wonder if you could call it the main room. A red thread fell into Emily’s hand.
“Emily. But what are these stakes?”
“I don’t know, but I think it might have a similar concept to yarn.”
It seems plausible when you look at the part where the stake or iron point is stuck.
head and neck.
Starting from the spine, it is embedded in the joints of the arms and legs little by little.
Threads are also wound.
Seeing that the two were stuck together, it was reasonable to assume that it was brainwashing and strengthening the Witchbeast.
“Then next time you should aim for a thread or a stake.”
“It would be better to just slit his throat.”
“no. Either way, they’re being controlled. Even if your neck falls off, you can still move for a while.”
Originally, demon beasts would move for a while even after their necks fell off.
She suddenly called Lini.
“Lini.”
Lini’s eyes widen as Emily chins to the north.
Rini’s eyes, which transcend human vision, see things far away.
aka clairvoyant.
“Ah, professors.”
Are you returning after completing the operation?
Rini’s expression frowned.
“What happened?”
“That doesn’t sound like a good thing.”
Rivan guessed it just by looking at Lini’s expression and grabbed the sword.
“The professors are being chased.”
The professorship at the royal academy is not a position that anyone can afford to sit on.
Although most of them were nobles, most of them had passed through the rank of captain.
That they are being chased.
“He’s not the guy we’re dealing with.”
The hand holding the sword trembled.
no.
“The ground…”
The ground trembles.
thump thump. thud. thud.
Now it’s getting closer to the point where you can see it.
Trees are broken, forests are destroyed, and mountain birds flutter wildly.
“Run away!”
Kwajik! Kwaaaang-!
grasp!!
“Wow!”
Something flew and exploded.
Like a red cherry burst.
“Don’t look.”
“Oh brother…”
Livan’s eyes narrowed.
‘Professor Lines.’
It turned into a lump and exploded.
It was as if it had been grabbed and torn apart by something huge.
It means that there is something that can catch and throw a human.
thump thump thump!
This huge vibrating sound must also be his work.
gulp.
it’s like
‘It’s the same pressure as when I saw the Orc overlord.’
The helplessness felt in the last war.
The intimidation of the Orc commander.
However, the ship is more heinous than that, and the murderous life for unknown reasons is sharply laid.
“Why are you guys here!”
“Professor Kyo! Professor Lines…”
“Avoid!!”
Kwajik!
The professor who told me to avoid it but couldn’t avoid it.
He took a direct hit from a huge stick and burst like dented dough.
They weren’t close friends, but when two professors they’d been seeing for years died horribly, Lini and Livan. And Flora stiffened in an instant.
“That, that, that… is that?”
5 times taller than human height.
Rough but huge hands.
Strong muscles of the thighs and shoulders.
And a huge club dyed red.
Stakes and threads all over the body.
“Troll…”
It was a troll.
A troll reinforced by its followers.
Enhanced troll.
“You should also run away…”
Running away is the right thing to do.
Even the professors are trolls.
Didn’t he just run away and eventually die in vain?
No matter how strong they become, they are still not strong enough to deal with trolls.
At that time when Livan was muttering.
Piyuyong-!
Flora fired a flare into the sky.
“Emily.”
Then, with a serious face, he called Emily.
“why.”
“Are you going to fight?”
“huh.”
immediate answer.
Flora grinned, holding a dagger in her left hand.
He held a heavy sword in his right hand.
“A crazy fight!?”
When Livan was bewildered, Emily spoke calmly so as not to provoke the troll.
“Even the professors couldn’t run away from him. We may have the upper hand in speed, but physically we are behind.”
“Besides, there is nowhere to run. Didn’t everyone around here get attacked by them?”
The two of them had already judged the situation.
fired a signal flare.
Fight until reinforcements arrive.
In my head there is only that thought.
Exactly, it’s just to buy time.
‘Even if reinforcements come…’
It wouldn’t be very hopeful.
It’s because the enemy is so strong that both professors can be killed at once.
“There must be someone controlling the troll.”
“You two find him!”
immediately after speaking.
bang-!
The troll’s club hit the floor where they were. The snowfields that had been spread on the ground all at once rose up like waves and scattered.
between them.
Emily and Flora break through and aim for the troll’s thighs.
Chew-! Spaw!
– Gooeoeoeoeo!
“Shallow! Your skin is tougher than you think!”
It was obviously cut, but there was no damage.
Emily, who also aimed at the thread wrapped around her leg, became serious.
It is different from the previous witches.
Even the thread on which it is wound is extremely hard.
Besides, even his movements are not dull.
fast.
Charge with your body as a shield.
wield one’s hand as a weapon
In addition, the weight-bearing stick hit has destructive power that is close to instant death when hit, so it is impossible to launch a large attack hastily.
In addition, the troll’s tremendous regenerative power, which quickly recovers even from scratches, breaks the will.
Flora’s voice calls out, and Emily is lost in thought.
three years ago from now.
his father had said
There’s a troll down there. I said clearly that I grabbed him and got out.
‘My father in those days was weak.’
Callius grew stronger on the battlefield. Emily knows that better than anyone else.
Because the child had no choice but to look at the father’s back.
Father’s back shining so brightly.
the hero’s back.
Emily never missed a moment.
‘Hianhua.’
His skill that ended the war.
Pianhwa.
It was contained in the heart of the child who looked at the hero’s back for a long time.
and within that.
It is manifested in the sword of a child who is now becoming a knight.
The silver black air that fluttered like smoke slowly condensed.
Condensed sword energy is formed like a thin film to form another blade.
But Emily’s face is not good.
only the appearance is similar.
This is a hollow gangjeong.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t copy my father’s.
made it your own sword.
“The black thorn.”
Viscount Chow!
Her sword is Callius.
And the teachings of Pope Philice, who taught her for the past two years, dwelled.
with strong penetrating power.
-Woo ow ew eek!
The pope’s wave was dwelling.
“Okay Emily!”
I gave the troll a shot.
A little joy, but soon despair overshadowed them.
“The sword…!”
The sword stuck in his side won’t come out. The troll, who had been vomiting while holding his head, soon let out a harsh snort.
Quaang-!
A club that was swung in an instant.
Emily let go of her sword and dodged it, but couldn’t dodge it completely.
“Kuk!”
After rolling in the snow, Emily stands up hastily and throws herself again.
Kwaaang-! bang! bang! bang-!
-Goooooooooooo!!
Flora’s sword, who seems to be angry, doesn’t even pay attention to it and only aims at Emily.
Add to that.
Wooduk Wooduk Kwajik!
“Emily!”
I broke Emily’s sword.
The first gift you gave yourself.
The first gift given to her by her father and the sword used by Saint Esther.
Lucerne. When it broke, Emily was uncharacteristically agitated.
A knight who loses his sword is not a knight.
agitation of the moment.
The sadness of breaking your father’s gift.
Anger at the troll who did it.
A battle that can no longer be fulfilled.
They instantly made Emily’s body hard.
This led to the greatest mistake in an urgent battle.
Poo-!
A club that swings horizontally.
I couldn’t avoid it and strengthened the holy power on my shoulder to block it.
Wood deok!
“Keugh!”
Kwaaang-!
It flies in a flash and snaps several trees before the impact stops.
“Wow!”
brain shakes
I feel sick to my stomach.
He vomited blood as if his internal organs were injured.
The shoulder that blocked the troll’s attack was completely shattered.
“Emily!! Damn-!”
Flora swings her long sword, but the troll doesn’t care about her wounds.
He only looks at Emily and runs.
In the midst of a crisis of desperation.
softly.
Snowflakes fall in Emily’s eyes, which have turned red with blood.
In deaf and unclear consciousness.
Emily’s eyes turned upward at the gray snowflakes that slowly fell.
‘Eye… no. Is it ashes?’
An absurd judgment even if you think about it.
It’s not snow in the North, it’s ash.
Like melted and stretched candy, so is hearing. Sight also flows slowly.
A troll running towards you.
The voice of Flora, who followed her and called her anxiously.
The only one in a situation where everything seems blurry and stretched out.
“You haven’t changed.”
A nostalgic voice brightened Emily’s blurry eyes.
etc. shown to oneself.
Even though he was wearing a robe, Emily recognized who he was at once.
that etc.
The back that I always looked at and chased after.
“Dad…”
With tears welling up.
spurt.
Gray filled the world.
