17 – Anomalies (1)

“Geruk, Gereuk.”

The swords they were holding… Compared to the things the blacksmith was proud of, it was a really shabby thing with teeth coming out all over the place.

But the creepiest part is their swords reflected in the torches scattered on the ground.

their green skin,

And there’s blood on that face.

They hurt someone or have already killed someone.

“…sh*t…”

In this case, should I use a warpic or a shield?

Do you keep the torch on the ground?

Faced with the goblins alone without her, it felt like something was seriously complicated in my head.

But within a few seconds of rolling my head, those hideous dwarves were clearly moving toward me.

…Okay, let’s start with the warpic and that torch.

I managed to pick up the torch while slowly lowering my back and not taking my eyes off him.

Continuing to keep an eye on the growler, this time he placed his hand on his waist.

I squeezed the handle tightly and pulled the warpic out of the ring.

However, I attack him without being cut by the sword, Rani.

Is it something I can do?

“Kieek!”

In an instant, he suddenly raised his sword and charged at me!

Confused by that, I took a backward step, and soon realized that the guy’s movements were slower than I thought.

Rather, it felt like the swinging trajectory was so obvious that it seemed easy.

So, I grabbed the warpice tightly and, conversely, aimed at the guy’s arm and swung it.

humming –

and the sound of a brisk cleavage of the wind passed, followed by a terrible rupture.

It wasn’t like the cheerful sound of hitting a stone.

There was a crushing sound, with a sound as if the vine was being forcibly cut off.

“Kki, kyaaak! Kyahaaak – ! Kyahaaak – !!”

There was a sound of a sword falling to the floor.

I straightened my posture to figure out what had happened.

Knees slightly bent, torch hand in front, weapon hand behind.

As I do so, I see a terrified goblin, and a guy screaming and screaming, clutching his…

I turned my head slightly and looked at the warpic that I was holding.

Certainly, there were some drops of blood there.

I took a deep breath, and exhaled.

‘Guys should have no sympathy, no hesitation. They are the guards guarding this place. We are intruders. If they don’t want to die, we have to take their lives for sure.’

Otherwise, my life and her life would be taken.

“Ke, Kehi-“

The one who stares at the injured guy, jumps up as soon as he hears me approaching.

Now I see, he had yellow eyes.

However, if it had human eyes, it did not. Rather, it resembles that of reptiles.

An ominous eye, like a solid line drawn on a yellow background.

Isn’t it that he looks at me with a frown and then withdraws his back?

…Is there no camaraderie?

So, I looked at the guy left behind.

Blood was pouring out from the severed part of the arm he was holding on to, and it was noticeable that the force was slowly fading.

He couldn’t even scream properly while looking at me anymore, he was just lying on the ground, breathing lightly, wheezing.

…I wonder if I should leave it behind.

fast.

The blood splattered clearly this time, smearing it lightly on my face.

‘Make sure you finish. Otherwise, you might get stabbed in the back.’

Puck, puck-

The arm didn’t stop until the warpick made a squishy sound.

***

The feeling of taking a life was not very pleasant. Of course, I had quite a lot of experience dealing with golems and plants, but it was the first time I had caught and killed a living creature with blood so clearly.

Besides, it wasn’t a very pleasant scene to see the remaining limbs twitch whenever you hit your head.

Warpic had a lot of blood on it.

After swinging it against the ground several times to shake off some pieces of meat, I could feel something strange.

“Mr. Ellie?”

Something was strange. There’s no reason she won’t come back like this.

…Injured or not.

“Damn, damn, I can’t believe it…!”

Just as I was about to start walking towards the place where she disappeared while holding the warpic, something shot out of the darkness.

Bunny ears…!

However, something was strange. Her rolled-up sleeves were full of white hair.

Even though he was covered in blood as a bonus, he could tell that the hair on his neck was swollen.

Also, should I say that my face has become more ferocious?

He waved a torch at her as he ran.

“Here – eh?”

Tup, he grabbed her by the waist, then it seemed to be hanging from her shoulder.

“Wait a minute, why now-“

“Kiyaaa!!”

A loud roar erupted from the darkness she ran out of.

The torches that had fallen into the darkness were illuminating many green skins.

“Sir-“

Like drumming, numerous footsteps filled the hallway.

Leaving the burning rod alone, leaving only a round space.

Even in the fading light, the blue waves of goblins did not know how to stop.

“Hold on tight.”

I hear her voice in my panic.

I was startled by the higher-than-usual tone of my voice, and turned my head slightly.

However, when he realized that he couldn’t find any playfulness in her, he could see that the situation had become serious.

She didn’t have a hammer. If he had, he wouldn’t have grabbed me with both hands and put me on his shoulders.

She moved her feet quickly, taking turns without hesitation in various places in the hallway.

“Wait, wait, Mr. Ellie, I can run too…”

“I’m faster!”

I was puzzled by the voice of a young girl.

“I’ll explain later, so hold on tight for now…! We have to get out of here. We have to hurry up and report…”

As she ran through the wind, she stopped at the moment.

After carefully putting me on the ground, she put her head on the ground without me even having time to speak.

“…”

I was concentrating. Her ears perked up, and her eyes, shining clearly even in the dark, were rolling here and there.

Fearing that she might get in the way, he was frozen on the spot, unable to swallow properly and unable to breathe properly.

“They’re popping up everywhere. How? The third floor isn’t supposed to be like this…!”

“Then what about the others?”

“This is not the time to worry about other people, Mr. Marcus. We’ll die if we do this.”

“What happened to the hammer? What’s the matter…”

Chin and arm grabbed hold.

“I can’t explain much right now. I don’t have time. The hammer… is broken.”

Is her hammer broken?

she is stronger than me

She knows better than me.

But then she rolls her eyes and gets serious.

The situation was not good. It wasn’t really good.

“I think we might be trapped here. We’re not the only ones who have noticed the anomaly, and there may be some who go deeper and come up and notice the situation. They might be able to solve this situation much easier. Are you…”

“I can’t get out.”

“yes.”

“If you stay here for a long time… won’t it cause problems?”

“It’s okay for about a week. Anything longer than that is dangerous. The longer you stay, the more you can drive out intruders… No way.”

“Are you staying longer than a week? Someone?”

“No, that’s… When that happens, usually a powerful elite monster chases that person. Drives it out. Of course, those with great power also hunt those monsters in reverse… Oh no. There’s something strange about that. There’s no reason for many goblins to appear…”

A popping sound came from my ears.

“It’s moving. They’re coming pretty close. They seem to be filling up all the corridors. My God… how many of them.”

“Do you know the exit?”

“Exit, exit… I might have to find that one from now on.

“Kiyaaa!!”

A high-pitched scream came from behind.

I quickly lowered myself to the floor, and soon heard the sound of something breaking.

“Kiya-eup! Uh-h-k-yep…”

Duduk, pududeuk, wooduk.

With a flutter, the piece of meat fell to the ground powerlessly.

“Are you okay?”

“No one was hurt. Thank you, Mr. Ellie.”

Yes, there were no injuries. But she is rather…

is not it.

There was a red light shining in her eyes.

It was reflected in the goblin’s sword. Two red balls of fire were shining brightly in the dark.

“I’m going to use this. You can get more weapons by killing them. Oh, have you already dealt with the goblins?”

Did you see my warpic in the dark!

“Yes, two of them came up behind us. I killed one, and the other ran away.”

“Okay. Well done! But, um… Are you blind after all?”

“I can see Ellie well because her eyes are red, but I can’t see the rest. I feel like I barely know the outline.”

“Then give me the warpic and take up the shield. Every time I fight, I want you to stick to my back and look behind me.”

“What are we trying to do?”

Even as I handed her the warpic, I felt uneasy seeing her busy with something.

“What are you doing?”

She was stronger and bolder than I could have imagined.

“I’ll make my way to the exit. Or at least I’ll keep moving until I find a safe space.”

The roar of the goblins came from afar.

“If you are ready, we will move from now on.”
