The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

Chapter 40

40 – 040. I need to get out of here

Renee appears at the Colosseum out of nowhere and spits out lies.

Whether it was a mutant wyvern or a dragon, it was very threatening to humans.

People in the stands started screaming and running toward the exit.

Meanwhile, pretending to be agitated as much as possible, I communicated with Renée telepathically.

‘First of all, let’s find out the reason. What is the purpose of coming here while writing Yonghwa?’

‘That’s it! I came because I was invited to secretly compete as a Witchbeast to raise Bern’s reputation… !’

‘Who made such an outrageous invitation?’

‘that… … .’

‘You don’t have to try to hide it. Because I think I know roughly who said it. Is it Lewen?’

‘… … yes.’

That damn kid… No, what were you thinking about sending Renee here?

It was difficult to grasp his intentions because he was not a person who did it without thinking.

Can not help it. Spilled water anyway, I decided to take advantage of the current situation in my own way.

A crisis is an opportunity.

The original plan went awry, but you can reverse the current situation in a different way.

‘Let’s go wild about what happened like this.’

‘yes? Can I?’

‘Of course, be careful not to injure people.’

In the first step, Renee becomes more rampant, creating a sense of crisis.

Just in time, Rin, who had run from the waiting room to this place, came into sight.

I hurriedly instructed her to find the magic sword.

Because now, which has become a field of chaos, is the best time to rob the Colosseum’s treasure chest.

Quickly grasping the situation, she nodded and ran to the opposite side of the road she came from.

There is only one problem left to solve with this.

“Get out of the way.”

“I and the princess will be in charge here, so the crew hurry up and evacuate the residents safely!”

“All right!”

Knights jumping over the arena.

One was Princess Charlotte, and the other was Julius, the commander of the knights.

In this Colosseum, two people who could be called the best power gathered together.

‘What to do with these people… … .’

Even Rene, who was in a state of flux, was a difficult person to deal with.

Even one person is too much, but if you deal with two people at the same time, you will not be able to avoid serious injuries.

I couldn’t let them hurt Renée.

However, it was impossible to fight the Holden royal family, so he decided to speak his mouth to the fullest.

“Princess, please wait a moment!”

“Are you still there? If you don’t want to get into a fight, evacuate quickly.”

“I want to fight this Witchbeast too!”

“Stop talking nonsense and get back! There is no place for a guy like you to intervene… … !”

Inside the arena, Captain Julius’ shouts rang out.

However, his words were interrupted by Princess Charlotte’s hand raised on the way.

It was an unspoken permission to hear what I had to say once.

“A completely unexpected opponent came out, but that monster is my opponent. I would appreciate it if you would please allow me to fight.”

“… … You might die?”

“I think it is a condition that we must risk our lives to test our limits.”

Princess Charlotte stared at me as if trying to understand my intentions.

Even if it could be considered disrespectful, I did not avoid her gaze.

It might be a ploy to test your will.

As if my prediction was correct, Princess Charlotte removed her hand from the sword.

“Back off.”

“princess!”

“He has the fighting spirit that should not be lacking in a warrior. It’s also why we intervened in his fight in the first place. Out of respect, I will leave the selection to this man.”

“This is an emergency! If this monster goes into the city and runs rampant… !”

“Sir Julius, aren’t we there to prevent that from happening? Or are you doubting my skills right now?”

“Hey, hey! Excuse me.”

She was a princess knight who was flexible, strong, and charismatic.

It was hard to believe that such a princess would later become an immoral being who indulged in pleasure.

Even thinking about it again, Adog Choi’s setting is insane.

‘Renee, listen to me.’

‘yes!’

After many twists and turns, I got my chance.

It was just that we had overcome the first hurdle, and the next one was the key.

A super-difficult scam in which you have to trick the princess and the knight commander.

I had to do it right away in real life without rehearsals.

‘From now on, I will fight you with all my might.’

‘Yeah?! Me, with all my might?’

The princess and the knight commander were watching the fight right in front of them, rather than watching from a distance like before.

It means that there is a high possibility that you will be caught if you play poorly.

Therefore, even if you do not want to expose your skills, you must show a high level.

That way they won’t be suspicious.

‘Then, respond as I tell you. You might get hurt if you go off even a little bit.’

‘Muh, that’s scary!’

‘Please. I don’t want to hurt you.’

‘… … Okay, I’ll try hard!’

The conspiracy with Renee is over, and Frach’s power to decorate the highlight is needed next.

‘Prah.’

[Contractor, though, asking this body for help while having an affair with another sword… … .]

‘I was going to ask if I could break the sword at the right timing when I give the signal.’

[possible! Leave it to me, I’ll do it for you a hundred or a thousand times!]

I went out with more enthusiasm than usual.

It’s fortunate that I can demonstrate my abilities even when I’m in the scabbard.

I was worried if I had to reveal the fact that I had a magic sword.

“Whoa… !”

Performing a play with Renee, recovering the demonic sword for Rin, and decorating the end for Prach.

I came up with a plan in an instant, grabbed my sword and rushed at Renee.

‘Right waist.’

‘yes!’

Caang!

Rene’s claws collided with the sword, creating sparks.

It was a sword that he wielded with all his might, but it had the durability of a dragon.

It seemed that Renee would not get hurt if he didn’t aim for the vitals.

‘Left shoulder blade, right thigh, left shin, right attack is fake, target number is left shoulder blade.’

“Ahhh… !”

As if playing a rhythm game, Renee twisted her whole body in accordance with my instructions.

Claws, wings, and tail were used to block attacks in a variety of ways.

It was just that the timing was slightly off, and the scales were scratched. I can’t help it because it’s my first time

“… … Hmm.”

“Um, that’s pretty… … .”

Meanwhile, the two people behind me were appreciating me.

The princess’s reaction was ambiguous, but the knight commander didn’t seem to think it was a play at least.

I should finish the show fight soon and conclude the plan.

‘Prach, are you ready?’

[Of course! But how can I break the sword? Shall I make it half brown? Or will it be cut into pieces? Or how about turning it into powder?]

‘The powder is too much, just crush it properly.’

[Sorry. I wanted to completely remove it from my eyes so that it would never come back again.]

It was a demonic sword that did not permit any weapon other than its own.

Suddenly, I wondered what kind of reaction he would show if he tried to throw away Prach.

The obsessive side is still showing, so won’t it be impoverished?

Imagining the exhausted demon sword made me laugh.

[Contractor, the speed of swinging the sword has significantly decreased, but perhaps you are having impure thoughts?]

‘… … No way.’

Anyway, the touch is so damn good.

‘Renee, scream as hard as you can at my signal and fly high into the sky.’

‘Am I running away to the sky?’

‘Yeah, in that state, I’ll get out of the city right away.’

At the time René writes Yonghwa, he can no longer remain in the city.

I decided to try a way to disappear in a nearby forest or mountain, then return to Revlon the next day and join Lynn.

A perfect plan to get the magic sword and reasonably run away from Princess Charlotte.

Even if I showed my skills, I wouldn’t be able to find out if I was alive or dead at the time I was dragged away by the dragon.

‘It’s going to start soon, so get ready!’

‘yes! Feel free to come!’

I bent down and narrowly avoided Renee’s tail, which was flying towards my head.

In that state, I threw my body forward and caught the rear.

I spurred on Rene’s back and jumped up to my wings.

Holding the sword in reverse, he held it high.

‘now!’

Sending a signal to both of them at the same time, I thrust my sword down strongly toward Renee’s neck.

“Kuaaa!!”

Chaenggang-!

The moment it was plunged, the sword began to crack and broke as soon as the tip touched the scales.

At the same time, Renee roared loudly and spread her wings wide.

I quickly took a stance, gripping the scales clinging to her back.

‘I’ll go!’

“Huh?!”

Renee flew up to a height of about 50 meters from the ground with a single flap of her wings.

As I was about to fall out of her body in the aftermath, I struggled to catch my breath.

I thought I was giving up on life.

My pounding heart mercilessly pounded on my chest, asking if I was crazy.

Harmful to the heart. It was a terrible experience that I would never want to go through again.

“Has it been successful?”

“Yeah, it seems that he managed to escape somehow.”

People on the ground rose to such a height that they looked like ants.

Humans cannot fly without the help of magic.

Flying magic was only possible for wizards who reached level 7 or higher, so it must be said that there was no way to catch up with us.

“… … After all, you were acquainted with the dragon.”

“Keeek!”

“Kyaa!”

I was startled by the hand and whisper that was suddenly placed on my shoulder.

At the same time, Renee was startled and nearly fell to the ground.

But someone grabbed my arm and pulled me up, and that person was none other than Princess Charlotte.

“Uh, how is the princess here?”

“When you begged me, I tied a rope woven with divine power to this dragon’s ankle. Just so that no one escapes.”

A yellow rope tied around the princess’s wrist.

Rene’s ankle was at the end of the long rope.

It was my mistake for forgetting that Princess Charlotte had a great talent for applying divine power.

Divine power is a power that cannot be sensed unless you are a priest or saint.

I never imagined that he would use divine power on Rene.

“Anyway, that’s amazing. I didn’t expect it, but I would have thought that the gladiator was actually fighting the dragon.”

“Did you know?”

“Sir Julius didn’t seem to notice, but I felt a sense of incongruity in the fight between you and the dragon. There must be some kind of connection between the two.”

It was truly a terrifying observation.

To the point where it was difficult to do nonsense in front of her.

“But I didn’t expect that we would be friends with dragons and even talk to them.”

“Eh, what happened to this… … .”

“The dragon knight that appears in the heroic biography. That is what it is!”

‘Listen to me!’ I wanted to say, but I had to swallow the words because the other person was the princess of the kingdom.

I had no choice but to let her do what she wanted to say.

“Did I say your name was Lord Verne? Even if it wasn’t, I’ve been listening to your performance well. Eliminate demons in the academy, eradicate A-class thieves. And just a short time ago, you saved people from a terrible plague, right?”

“Well, how do you know that?”

“Pu-huh! The priests of the Bardel Temple announced it throughout the kingdom. They say that their savior is Lord Bern.”

Confusing.

I must have completely hidden my identity.

[Do you remember the handkerchief you gave to a nun before leaving town?]

‘handkerchief? Stand, no way!’

[I must have remembered it now. Yes, there was an embroidery with the contractor’s name engraved on it.]

f*ck.

Why didn’t I think of that?

Since it was the handkerchief that Vern used, not me, I couldn’t check it closely.

“A wanderer who miraculously appeared in the slowly approaching turmoil. His true identity is a dragon knight, so full of romance!”

“Oh, no… !”
