93 – The Golden Veil

The Golden Veil

Black knight Hold the sword with both hands and point the tip forward.

It is neat and free of superfluities as if to prove that you have accumulated radishes for a long time simply by holding the basic posture.

Selma recognizes her opponent’s skills and raises her sword.

She raises the horizontal sword to her chest and supports the blade with her empty left hand.

“Lightning-“

In contrast to the quiet voice, a loud roar spread, and a blue-green current flowed through Selma’s body.

She was teased by Rai for being a lizard. Her original nickname was Blue Dragon or Dragon Tail before her nickname was fixed as Verdigris Lizard.

As if an alter ego is created following her movements, the afterimage of her stretches out like her tail.

I can’t maintain it for a long time because I’m not in good health, and it’s become a skill that requires me to suffer for a month if I use it once, but the black knight didn’t have the time to deal with the next one.

“Keueueueu-“

Clay, who has carved a pattern on his face with her blood, turns into red eyes and growls like a beast.

Breath like smoke is pouring out between the thin teeth.

She turns into her ferocious form and lunges at her black knight.

Selma follows as if clinging to Clay, followed by dozens of afterimages like her tail.

“aaah!!”

As Clay swung his huge ax horizontally, the black knight flexibly bent his back to avoid the heavy armor.

As Selma climbed over his wide back and stabbed her sword, the black knight swung her sword and shed her sword.

– Caang

The interlocking Selma’s sword coiled around like a snake and grabbed the black knight’s sword, and she kicked the empty knight’s abdomen.

As the black knight fell to the ground with a clunky sound that could not be believed to be the sound of his feet colliding with his armor, Clay raised the huge ax he had swung and slashed it down with all his might.

– Kwaaang!

The road is smashed and huge dust covers all sides. At the same time, several sounds of metal clashing are heard, and the black knight and Selma wielding a sword jump out of the dust.

It looks like it’s being pushed back by the black knight’s numerous sword attacks, but Selma is firmly blocking all attacks, and shattered debris pops up from the dust they escaped.

The black knight avoids the debris flying from behind without even looking.

As she drives Selma to one side with her sword and dodges, the debris from Clay is rather aimed at Selma.

“Everyone said that.”

Selma grins and she stabs the debris flying at her.

– Paang!

The sword-pierced remains emit light in all directions and then explode.

As dozens of fragments flew in front of his eyes, the Black Knight, unable to defend against them, retreated back, covering his vital parts with his arm.

The sound of banging cans echoes countless times, and the black knight tries to regain his stance, but when Selma strikes her sword down, the black knight hurriedly defends himself.

– Pajijik!

A current flows through Selma’s sword and the black knight’s body.

The black knight’s body becomes dull due to the electric current that paralyzes her body, but even Selma cannot move properly with the sword attached.

But it’s okay.

Because the verdigris lizard was always with Bane’s fallen knight.

Two red lights glow from the dirt.

Clay emerges from the dust and swings a huge ax at the black knight’s side.

The black knight, who grabbed Selma’s sword by forcibly raising his trembling arm, took off his own sword that was stuck with difficulty and attached the back of the sword to his side.

– Kaaang!

The black knight, unable to overcome Clay’s power, flies in a straight line and crashes into the store.

The building shakes because several pillars have collapsed.

Feeling the people patrolling the area gather, Selma and Clay stand by and stare at the store, which cannot be seen in the dark.

“Husband, what do you think?”

“Kurrr?”

Selma looked away at Clay, who responded with an animal sound, then looked at her again.

She forgot that Clay was a berserker since it’s been a while since she’s gone to battle.

With her husband unable to think normally, Selma just recounts the battle.

The Black Knight has excellent skills and considerable experience.

But it’s weak.

The battle was easy enough to make me mistakenly thinking that I might have returned to my heyday.

That can’t be. His body was creaking after a long fight, and the black knight had properly defended against attacks that he had beaten off many times before.

‘Attacks are weak for their skills…’

Selma was able to understand the reason as she carefully watched the black knight coming out of her wreckage.

It was strange that he didn’t notice it even if he made an excuse that his eyes were taken away by the heavy armor.

The black knight had no feet.

It gradually faded from the calves, and only black haze worms flowed out around the ankles.

As the saying goes, all power comes from the toes, so the foot on the ground is very important to a warrior.

Since there are no feet, there was no way to put strength into the motion of stepping on the ground.

Because it is an existence that is out of line, it is possible to walk or run without feet, but it was a great weakness for a person who has accumulated nothing for decades to have nothing that he should have.

Selma feels regretful for a moment when her fight with a strong opponent ends in a dull moment for an absurd reason.

“You’re not in good shape, but you’re overdoing it.”

The surroundings are a mess, but Rai, who is lying on the Black Horse as if not paying attention to her, comes over and talks to Selma.

“When it’s all over, he sneaks out. His goofy personality doesn’t go anywhere.”

“Is it over already? Isn’t it being applied? Did you rejuvenate yourself?”

“No feet.”

When Selma points at the Death Knight with her chin, Rai immediately realizes and agrees.

“Aha, you’re lucky. Being a crippled Death Knight, evil spirits aren’t necessarily good.”

“You must be lamenting your missing feet by now.”

Selma and Rai laugh meanly.

An enemy’s weakness is a good thing. Weaknesses revealed must be chewed carefully.

“Doesn’t it remind you of the past?”

“You mean when I was with you? It reminds me of the worst.”

“It wasn’t that bad. And the map was aiming at my neck for giving me a lot of money. I don’t like it.”

“You should have acted affectionately.”

“Kurrure.”

Clay nods her head in agreement.

The two seem relaxed as they warmly share memories in front of the black knight.

Selma and Clay, whose skills are less than their prime, are also beaten, but Rai can never win.

“Come on, let’s go and play.”

After getting off the Black Horse, Lai slaps her on the butt and tells her to back off.

They stare at each other for a while as if he is with them, but when he throws a few sugar cubes at them, the black horse eats them up and heads off excitedly.

“But what is he doing?”

Since there was a great commotion, people continue to flock.

Not only Rai, but also mercenaries, guards, adventurers, and other people around him reveal themselves one after another, but the black knight remains silent.

The more time you take, the more unfavorable the black knight is, not even thinking about running away, just staring at Rai.

“Doesn’t he really have a grudge against you?”

“Uh- is that so…? I don’t have anything worth wanting for.”

Selma laughs at the nonsense spoken by the demons of all countries.

More than half of the countries on the continent still have a grudge against him, but Rai, who speaks naturally, leans in as if avoiding the black knight’s gaze.

“It’s not me? Uh- what is it, do you like my sh*t? Being greedy for the word “Knight”

To be precise, the gaze is fixed on the black horse that is turning and leaving, not on the lie.

To Rai’s question, the black knight answers with an ominous whistle.

When a whistle sounds like a flute and sounds like metal, the people around are nervous and alert.

But nothing happens.

Tilting her head and making eye contact with Selma, Rai tries to open his mouth when something jumps them from behind.

A black horse boasting strong muscles and a lustrous figure.

It was a black horse.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

When Rai calls, the black horse doesn’t even pretend to listen and approaches the black knight.

The black knight strokes the head of the black horse gently.

The black horse, ignoring everyone except its owner, becomes a docile dog standing in front of a black knight, rubbing his head.

A faint haze is rising in the black horse’s eyes to see what effect the whistle has had.

“Wow- did I get my words stolen right in front of my eyes?”

“So I told you to act affectionately.”

I accepted the courtship that continued even if I pushed it away, and although I was offended by the black horse looking for another owner, Rai clicked his tongue after realizing that he had been possessed by an ominous whistle earlier.

Meanwhile, the black knight riding the black horse reached into his breastplate and pulled out a huge spear.

As the spear, seemingly plucked from the heart, is lifted high into the sky, the black horse lets out a loud cry and raises its paws.

As the black knight took a posture that seemed to come out of a picture of a great general, Rai’s eyes widened and he quickly created a magic circle to shield it.

– Quaaa!

As the spear was struck, a huge wave rushed in with the momentum to split the ground.

The three-layered barrier breaks through and Clay senses danger and embraces Selma.

Rye, swept away by the wave, flies in a straight line down a long road and crashes into a building at the end.

“Whoa- I almost got lost.”

Rai, who smashed her table and got stuck in the wall, exclaimed with surprised eyes.

“……”

It was late at night, but she was eating. She stared blankly at her family, holding forks, around the table that Rai had cleared away.

Lai, who ate her noodle sticking to her shoulder with her finger, brushed her body and stood up.

“You’re good at cooking.”

Rai, who was heading toward the hole that had been drilled while shaving her body, looked back and told her family.

“Ah, it’s dangerous here, run away.”

As soon as Rai finished speaking, her family ran away in a hurry.

Received an unexpected blow, Rai turns his arm around and sees the road in chaos.

The roads dug deep by the waves were all destroyed to the point where the person in charge would shed tears.

Fortunately, the building was not significantly affected, but the road for four wagons to pass in a row had to be rebuilt from scratch.

While charging her spell and running towards the distant black knight, Layla runs alongside Rai.

“Is it Death Knight?”

Rai nods her head, and Layla looks around and asks about the condition of her road.

“Can you win?”

“What do you see me as? Of course I win. Instead…”

Pausing her words for a moment, Leyla looks at her and says that she is not confident.

“I can’t guarantee that the city will be safe.”

“…… I’ll take care of the Death Knight.”

Leyla says so and she runs ahead.

“I’m Layla Cloud, a member of the Gold Medal, a unit under the direct command of His Majesty the Great Emperor! Arrange your troops!”

Leila, who has collected the soldiers who wander around, places even adventurers and mercenaries under her command with an emergency call-up order.

Skillfully organizing the ranks, Layla orders them to evacuate the citizens.

“It’s a compulsory order! Break down the door and evacuate all citizens! Anyone who refuses to comply, or whoever packs up their belongings, delays the evacuation order. Arrest immediately and drive out!”

Although it was extreme, Leila was making sure to evacuate the citizens.

Adventurers and mercenaries tear them apart and attach them to the guards to unify the chain of command and quickly evict citizens from the building.

I don’t make unreasonable demands to deal with the Death Knight while protecting the city.

I will protect the citizens, but you ignore the Death Knight, as if telling her to do what she has to do, and Lay sighs softly as she stares at Layla, who is giving her order to clear her throat.

Rai, who created a new spell by canceling the spell he had created so far, lifted his foot wide and slammed it on the floor.

– Dooung

From noble mtl dot com

A golden magic circle pops up from the floor with a sound like drumming.

A magic circle so intricately tangled that it is thought to have been randomly scribbled by a child floats in the air for a while and then falls to the ground.

A golden curtain spreads over the road as golden pieces spread in all directions from the magic circle that was shattered like glass breaking.

As if to protect the buildings around the road, the curtain that stretches along the road looks like a golden spider’s web from a distance.

“What are you doing?! At least one more person escapes at a time of surprise!”

After shouting at the soldiers who are surprised by the wide range of magic, Layla looks at Rai.

A protective shield was laid over the entire city to protect the buildings.

This is a magic that dozens of pure mages have to spend time creating.

The ability to create it in such a short period of time is amazing, but it was too much to say no matter how rai it was.

Layla bowed her head to Rai, who had her eyes fixed on the black knight, and evacuated the people again.

“Whoa- Hey there, I’m in a bad state, so let’s finish it quickly.”

Rai let out a long breath and smiled at the black knight.

“And give me my word.”

Unwilling to listen, the black knight slowly pointed the tip of his spear at Rai.

Looking at the black horse glaring at the owner while exhaling white breath, Rai, thinking that you’ve lost it later, picks up the sword that fell on the floor and runs at it.
