Chapter 030. awakening (1)

“Keugh?!”

Hwaran gritted his teeth as he felt the burning pain in his chest.

He could see blood dripping from his eyes.

Sweet Love!!

“… !!”

Unidentified assailants attacking back and forth as if they were waiting.

It was an embarrassing situation, but his concentration was alive.

I put strength in the hand holding the sword and received the opponent’s attack.

However, no matter how good his concentration was, he could not block all attacks because he had allowed a surprise attack.

In addition, their attacks were difficult to grasp due to their dirty trajectories.

‘For now, only fatal injuries are prevented.’

Although he cut his chest big, considering the resilience he gained after becoming a demon, it was worth self-healing.

But more than this is dangerous.

Pipit! Fit!

An attack that cuts deeply through the forearms and thighs.

wounds are getting more and more

Even if I tried to shake it off, the opponent’s sword chased me to the point where I felt relentless.

At this rate, it would be easy to allow fatal wounds.

‘I have to keep my distance first!’

Hwaran, who judged that, raised the magic explosively.

Whoaaah!!!!

“… !”

Take advantage of the moment when the startled opponent stopped attacking to correct the disturbed balance.

Caan… !!!

She slashed the sword of the knight who appeared wearing a fox mask, and then slashed the sword of the knight who secretly approached and inflicted great wounds.

f*ck!

‘Keukssuk… !’

In the meantime, the wound that had been hemostasis ruptured due to the excessive movement, and blood leaked out.

His eyes shook to the point of being dangerous for a moment, but he managed to widen the distance.

“Whoa… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a lull for a while, and silence rose around.

In the meantime, I quickly looked around to see if there were more people.

“… Hwaran?! what is this… !”

“Shut up and pick up your sword. Mueller.”

Müller, extremely flustered, stuttered and asked, but he had no time to answer Zurch right now.

‘… Are these two the end?’

The problem is that even if it’s just the two of you, you can’t win alone.

“… Who are you?”

Hwaran secretly cast magic and asked.

Fortunately, the opponent seemed to have not noticed the manifestation of magic, and was on the alert without any reaction.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen this type.’

The way one draws attention while the other ambush.

This is not the knight’s method, but rather the method often used by assassins whom they loathe.

Except for their petty pride, knights who are corpses use such a method?

‘Besides, the level was never low.’

Or is it not an article?

Then, when I wonder who the hell is chasing Mine, I frown.

‘… for a moment.’

There was a thought passing through my mind.

Not too long ago, when he visited the black market in search of the whereabouts of the crystal plant, he happened to hear about the whereabouts of the mixed-race elf.

‘It was a guest wearing a fox mask.’

This was the merchant’s answer to the question of who bought it.

Coincidentally, the assailant in front of me was wearing a fox mask as he approached me with a sword.

Of course, it could be a coincidence because it is the most common type of mask, but there was not one or two evidences.

‘A skinny man.’

‘He looked surprisingly young.’

‘Judging from his way of speaking and his attitude, he was presumed to be a nobleman.’

all match

As the puzzles fit together in my head, my suspicions grew out of control.

I turned my gaze to the smaller of the knights.

‘That robe… .’

After thinking, Hwaran kicked the ground.

“… !!”

The opponent drew the sword close to the body and took a defensive posture, but Hwaran was not intended to attack in the first place.

Whoo!!

An attack through the air.

A gust of wind blew the robe off.

“… ??”

“ah.”

The opponent frowns at the unknown attack.

Seeing that face, Hwaran involuntarily let out a sigh.

Black hair and bloody eyes.

And the starkly white skin contrasted with it.

“found… .”

“?”

Hwaran muttered blankly.

He soon burst into laughter, full of ecstasy.

Because I never dreamed that I would find it like this in an unexpected place.

‘I just have to endure a little bit.’

How long did it take to block the attackers’ attacks as calmly as possible?

The wounded Hwaran twisted the corner of his mouth.

It was because he felt the demons he had summoned using magic a little while ago.

“… !”

The eyes of the opponent who noticed this belatedly were stained with confusion.

Dig!

Soon, it attacks with explosive speed. The intention to kill and escape as quickly as possible before the demons arrive.

It was a pretty brutal attack.

‘It’s already late!’

I was able to endure enough because I was determined and just holding on.

“Escape is impossible.”

Now the situation has been reversed.

Since the Goul Mountains were like a shelter or gathering place for demons hiding in the kingdom, at least a hundred demons would have been coming.

Sweet Love!!

The attacks of the raiders are getting more and more urgent. However, it did not reach the fatal wound.

“I’ll tear you to pieces soon and kill you.”

Enduring the throbbing pain, Hwaran murmured in a soft, angry voice.

From noble mtl dot com

* * *

‘sh*t.’

The discovery of the mine was within the expected range.

I didn’t think it would be a disaster, but I thought I could overcome it enough if I was with Noah.

Unless he uses magic.

‘How on earth?’

His magic is a kind of telepathy.

As this was very versatile, there were various penalties.

Distance, consumption of mental power, number of simultaneous manifestations, etc.

And the most well-known weakness among them was that it took time for magic to activate, and during that time, other actions could not be performed.

Because of that, I thought I wouldn’t be able to use magic in a situation like this.

Could it be that he expected an attacker and called him in advance?

‘No, that doesn’t make sense.’

If he had known, he wouldn’t have suffered so easily from Noah’s attack in the first place.

“How did you do it?”

“Magic.”

“There are restrictions on magic… .”

“Restrictions? There is no such thing.”

Hwaran snorts lightly with a confident expression.

But I couldn’t let it flow as lightly as he did.

‘There are no restrictions?’

How can magic change?

Doubts arose, but then one thing passed through my mind.

[I am making adjustments to balance.]

[The attack difficulty increased by 5.771%.]

This is the message I saw right before I was transferred to this world for the first time.

As the level of difficulty increased, magic that would never change except for Cale was also changed.

“… Sorry. Noah.”

“… … .”

I apologized and was wary of all sides.

The estimate was already wrong, and now it’s important to survive here.

Luckily, Noah wasn’t too upset.

He looked calm enough to wonder if he didn’t understand the current situation.

“under. Have you already finished engraving?”

Hwaran said with a more surprised expression than me.

But what about engraving?

“What do you mean?”

“… I didn’t even know.”

I felt like I heard something that bothered me, but it wasn’t something to think about right now, so I put it aside for now.

Rather, it was more important how to get over the current situation.

“Catch the mine that approaches you.”

I said to Noah, who asked with a look on his face what he was going to do now.

nod

As soon as the words were finished, Noah jumped between the trees and disappeared.

Hwaran did not show any reaction even when he saw it, probably because he was confident that the situation was already in his hands.

‘… Mine will be stopped by Noah for the time being.’

External factors all smile at her.

A dense forest in a dark space.

Because this was the best place for her as a dark elf to play an active role.

the problem is me

I had to kill Hwaran while Noah bought me time.

“It’s ridiculous.”

When I revealed my will to live, Hwaran showed his teeth and laughed.

“You move well, but do you think you’ll be the only opponent?”

“… You will know when you do it.”

There was not much time given, so I kicked the ground right away without delay.

At night, like physical strength, mana recovery speed also increased.

He swung his sword as he burned mana.

“-Huh!”

The sword, imbued with deep blue mana, collided with the sword of Hwaran.

Kaaang… !!!

In an instant, a tingling sensation ran through my fingertips.

A phenomenon that was pushed out of power even though mana was burning as much as it was.

‘Even though it’s past midnight… !’

I raised the level of anger a bit.

Not only magic, but physical abilities also increased, and in terms of strength, they couldn’t match.

‘Can not be done.’

turned right around.

As I did with Ian, I decided to let go of the attack as much as possible and catch his movements.

It will take a little more time, but I have no choice but to believe that Noah will do well in this part.

I immediately erased the worry that was not helpful and captured the image of Hwaran in my eyes.

“Whoa… .”

Heat rises in the head.

It was difficult to grasp because the Hwaran sword was a swordsmanship focused on combat without any system, but it was impossible to completely avoid my eyes.

As time passes, familiar patterns begin to appear one by one.

“What are you doing?”

“… … .”

Seeing me suddenly stop attacking, Hwaran muttered in a questionable voice.

As he said, my body had countless residual scars.

‘are you okay.’

I only hit what was right from the beginning.

It’s not painful enough to distract you from this.

Perong!

“… … .”

Stare at the Hwaran’s attack that reaches right in front of you and avoid it.

I reduced left and right movement and moved with my knees, looking for opportunities as much as possible.

how long has it been like that

“It’s too bad to die. Do you have any plans to become a Mine?”

“… … .”

I lightly ignored Hwaran, who was talking nonsense, and kicked the ground.

“… hmm?”

Hwaran narrows his forehead and lowers his posture with a different momentum than before.

It seemed that he was on guard, but did not feel a great sense of danger.

Seeing such carelessness, I instantly accelerated explosively.

Wood deok!

The body screams, and the mana in the heart quickly burns away.

And yet, instead of slowing down, I accelerated even more.

Wow!!!

“… What!!?”

There was a roar that was unbelievable that the blades collided with each other.

and.

Hwaran was pushed back for the first time in an attack that entered at the right time.

Looking at the panicked Hwaran, he spurred the attack even more.

‘see.’

Gradually, the bare face of that esoteric swordsmanship began to show.

* * *

‘You read my attack?’

The opponent stretched out his sword before he could even see his movement.

When you feel that each other’s movements are precisely aligned.

For a moment, I forgot that I was in the middle of a life-and-death battle, and my whole body shuddered.

It was the first feeling he felt since holding the sword.

Now, it doesn’t matter whether the opponent’s identity is Salsu or a knight raised to deal with Mine.

“You’re crazy.”

I was dumbfounded and curse words came out.

Every time the inorganic eyes scan this side, I choke on the feeling that all thoughts can be read.

Gradually, his hands and feet become dizzy, and his sword passes close to the heart of his opponent.

Hwaran had no choice but to make a decision.

‘Here to kill.’

“Muller! Take the horn and run!”

“… !!!”

The assailant paused for a moment, then shouted back.

“Follow me!!”

‘also.’

Now Müller doesn’t care if he dies.

If you can kill that thing that is sure to become a monster in the future.
