86. You… aren’t human, are you?

“No. Isn’t that really too much?

Andrew’s mouth suddenly stopped grumbling.

It looked like Grendel’s telekinesis, so I looked at her.

Grendel answered the unsolicited question with a slight frown on her face.

“It was too loud. I was afraid to twist my tongue, but I held back.”

“Heh. Well done.”

Thanks to that, the expedition felt a little calmer.

However, it didn’t last long.

When Andrew eventually gave up and stopped resisting, Grendel also stopped psychic power.

It wasn’t long before Andrew started moving his mouth again.

“But what about that drunkard?”

Still, the whining seemed to have stopped.

Without even looking, I could see who Andrew was pointing to.

Because there was only one person in this expedition who would listen to drunkards.

“Oh, that one?”

“Yes.”

“That’s the Vampire Lord.”

“Ah… Vampire, eh? What? Vampire Lord?”

Andrew, who was unable to react for a moment, but quickly regained consciousness and was surprised.

“Why is the Vampire Lord drinking and stretching over there? No, why are you with the expedition team?”

“……That’s right.”

If it wasn’t for the guide.

It was to the point where I wanted to drop it in the middle and leave.

“The sunlight is bright, but it’s also stretched out.”

At first glance, it almost looked like sunbathing.

Lordra, a vampire who stretches out drunk and sunbaths in broad daylight…

Spectacles were spectacles.

* * *

“Hmm?……”

Lord Orhel only woke up when the sun was about to set.

Of course, I didn’t wake up when it was time to wake up.

His gaze was staring sharply beyond the bush.

Almost right before Orhel woke up, I too sensed an unusual energy and kept my eyes fixed.

“Did Brother feel it too?”

“Are there thieves?”

“Well. For a thief…”

“There’s a strange guy mixed in.”

“okay.”

Andrew, Diaz, and Grendel, who were listening to our conversation, looked bewildered.

Let’s get a little closer.

Andrew was the first to notice.

and Diaz.

Grendel, who was weak in direct combat, reacted last.

“Oh. I hear you. I hear you.”

“If the civilians are being attacked, why don’t we go and help them?”

“It’s the same idea.”

I nodded.

“depart.”

Of course, it wasn’t a big deal if it was a group of simple bandits.

There were two of the Seven Knights on this side, and Diaz, who had already grown considerably, was among them.

In the meantime, Orhel, who was not sober.

“Go first. I’ll go slowly. Uh… I’m going to throw up.”

It was messing around.

But the part that bothered me… wasn’t Orhel.

A battle that takes place from afar.

In the meantime, it was because of a strangely strong energy that I felt.

‘Somewhere strangely familiar energy…’

Because I wanted to check it myself, I staggered my steps a little more.

Tadadat, tadadat!

They quickly closed the distance between us.

Around the time when even the noise of battle began to be clearly heard.

Serureung, Serung.

Each of them drew their weapons and armed themselves.

I flung myself into the space beyond the bush.

And the first thing that came in was…

“Hey, wait a minute…! Save, save…!”

Fu-wook!

It was a scene where the heart of the last remaining thief was pierced.

* * *

‘There is no mercy whatsoever.’

Towards the thief who stepped back with his butt on the floor.

A sword strike that was stabbed down in a straight line.

It landed right in the heart without any shaking.

That straight attack was representing the mind of the one who stretched out the sword.

I have no intention of saving you.

Of course, I wasn’t generous enough to show mercy to the thieves who rushed at me with malice.

To be honest, from a position where I have adjusted to this world to some extent, that kind of mercy was a stupid act that could become arrogance.

It’s because I’m tired if I let it live for no reason and hit the back of the head.

So, I had no intention of blaming the person who killed the thief.

However, the problem was that he… began to show hostility towards us as well.

“Are you also one of these people? Then you have to die.”

‘What……?’

Dig!

A mysterious man who jumps before he even understands what he is talking about.

It was great speed.

‘Keuh?……’

It was almost as fast as Lord Drettnor.

I widened my eyes and swung my sword upward for defense.

By the way.

Didn’t he see through that moment again and twist his sword?

‘What a combat sense…!’

Drettnor was the type to believe in his own strength and fight.

As much as he himself was sitting in the seat of the Vampire Lord, he was a bit careless.

But this one was different.

The speed was almost the same as that of Drettnor, but he was on the side of putting all his effort without letting go of tension until the end.

However, I was also someone who had never been sloppy even for a moment after falling into this world.

“Suck!”

I twisted my upper body to avoid his attack.

Shaak!

Put all your strength into your left arm.

Whoops…!

He raised his arms as if in a disheveled posture.

Surprisingly, however, he responded to the attack as well.

Tuck your left arm over your right shoulder, palm out.

Pooh!

took my fist

‘……!’

This one surprised me a bit too.

I never thought someone would appear to take my fist.

No, I thought that it might appear.

But seeing it in front of my eyes was disconcerting.

Still, I couldn’t completely avoid it, and after blocking it, the expression on the other side was quite embarrassed.

‘There was a heavy feeling in the hand.’

And it wouldn’t have been without damage at all.

He also widened his eyes and didn’t use any more combo attacks, instead widening his distance.

Even after opening the distance, his left arm, which had blocked my fist, was hanging awkwardly.

together.

With good timing, Orhel also ambled along.

“Uh. I feel nauseous… I don’t feel well. What is this again?”

Even though it’s such a mess…

‘It’s reliable.’

With an opponent of this level, Andrew and Diaz would have been tough.

If Andrew or Diaz had received the first attack instead of me, it would have been a real blow.

The opponent also took a step back half a step, probably feeling Orhel’s ability.

at that time.

“Oh, paladin-sama! Those of you don’t seem to be thieves!”

I saw a man who appeared to be a peddler running behind him.

‘what? I don’t think he’s evil…’

The peddler looked in our direction and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry about this. It seems that our paladin-nim had a little misunderstanding, since he appeared at the same time as the thieves were attacking.”

I looked at him and shook my head.

“It’s okay. Nobody got hurt.”

Hearing that no one was hurt, the paladin’s eyes turned fierce.

It seemed that he was very perplexed that his own attack had gone futile.

The peddler, completely oblivious to the fight between me and the paladin, looked at us and asked a question insinuatingly.

“But, I don’t think you’re an ordinary traveler…”

Diaz answered his question instead.

“We are the people of the Order. This one here is the Heretic Inquisitor. And the ones over there are the Seven Knights.”

“Oh, my God! I-I’m sorry I didn’t get to know you!”

“No. We are not nobles of any kind… we are just priests.”

“Yeah, that’s true. From the Heretic Inquisitor to the members of the Seven Knights. It’s an honor!”

Even while the conversation between the two was going on, I continued to look at the mysterious paladin.

‘It’s rare. The Holy Knights of the Church… There is no response at all to the names of the Heretic Inquisitor and the Seven Knights?…’

There was something different from the priests he had met before.

* * *

“It’s strange…I think I’ve seen it somewhere…”

The peddler’s party and we were moving together because our directions overlapped.

With them in the lead, we in the rear.

However, after seeing the paladin, Orhel kept muttering that word.

“Can’t you stop talking about that and just tell me if you remember?”

Andrew, tired of listening to it, let’s shoot a word.

“Uh huh. Young bastard.”

“Did you give me anything when I was young?”

“Anyway, young people these days don’t lose a word.”

“You talk while drinking. I’m still giggling, can’t I remember?”

“Hey man. This is the water of life, the water of life.”

“If you drink that much of the number of lives, you’ll fall behind.”

It seemed that the two levels were more similar than I thought.

I just ignored their conversation.

I was only staring at the back of the paladin’s head.

“Rohan.”

To that, Diaz sticks by his side.

“Are you concerned?”

“Anyway.”

“Even among the Paladins, there are exceptional ones.”

“That’s right. It’s not because you don’t have the skills to become the Seven Knights or the Heretic Inquisitor.”

It was a position they could refuse at any time if they didn’t want to.

So it wasn’t strange that there was such a hidden talent, but…

“It’s not just that.”

“then?……”

“It’s like…not human…”

the moment you say it.

Isn’t the paladin looking back?

His eyes met mine, but I didn’t avert my eyes.

A few seconds of snowball fights ensue…

In the end, it was there that I turned my attention first.

‘……i get it. similar eyes. I remembered…’

But between those few seconds.

I found out his identity.

Then, he raised his eyebrows.

That night.

Our two teams, together, settled down on a suitable level ground and prepared for camp.

Everyone on our side was moving together except for Orhel.

On the other side, only a group of peddlers could be seen.

The paladin was nowhere to be seen.

So I walked along the direction he disappeared.

It doesn’t take long…I found him.

He seemed to sense that I was there too.

“Did you come after me?”

“I can’t say no at all.”

“Looks like you have something to say?”

“It was strange. The paladins. Even after seeing the Heretic Questioner and the Seven Knights, they didn’t react too much.”

“……”

Let him shut his mouth

I got straight to the point.

It wasn’t much fun to procrastinate like this.

“You… aren’t you human?”

“…Why, do you think so?”

“It’s not the first time I’ve met an angel.”

to my words.

He seemed to be laughing a little.

All I could see was the back of his head, but somehow I could tell.

And he spreads his wings

looked back at me

“Amazing. I’ve never seen a human like you.”

That figure was unmistakable…an angel.
