Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 72

Episode 72:

The marauders groaned.

Some had blood splattered and some had broken arms or legs.

And not one of them died.

I didn’t throw any spray.

However, we neutralized them in a slightly drastic manner.

“Lord Redmill, this is…”

Beatrice’s dazed voice was heard.

I admit it.

I went too far this time.

It was too much.

And honestly, I didn’t think this would happen.

Swinging a sword full of aura.

I tried to release the aurors gathered in the sword, but I never thought the results would be this terrible.

‘I couldn’t control my strength.’

Still, the result is not bad.

At least it clearly broke the enemy’s fighting spirit.

The only thing I’m worried about is.

“Ooh, I think we’ll stay still!”

“Our leader will definitely get revenge!”

Yes, their leader.

Knowing her presence made me a little worried.

The Sword Master was a presence that could never be ignored.

To deal with her, at least Count Millennium or Count Warrug must come.

‘But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.’

First, I saw off those who were running away.

The marauders run away, vowing revenge.

And as I watched them, my companions looked at me with worried eyes.

They are worried that they let the looters live instead of killing them.

Because, as they say, they can come after them.

But that was something I could worry about because I didn’t know the Sword Master of the North.

‘It’s safer to send it back like that.’

What you do now will have a big impact, good or bad, in the not-too-distant future.

And the work has already passed.

There was no point in trying to turn it back.

“Let’s move.”

Rather than that, it is better to move to achieve the purpose of coming here in the first place.

Puff Poop –

My feet were buried in the sand.

As we headed toward the mountain range, the sandstorm became stronger and sand dunes appeared more often.

There were also limits to using magic.

I couldn’t use magic stones often.

Even just one magic stone is too expensive for a commoner to afford, but if you keep bringing out such magic stones.

Beatrice will question my existence.

Although it may be a little difficult, it is better to move with a comfortable mind than to be under unnecessary suspicion.

“But I don’t see any monsters.”

I just walked all day.

And during that time, I didn’t find a single monster.

No matter how much you try to move to the safest possible place.

The North was a place overflowing with variables.

I can’t believe I didn’t see a single one all day long.

Could it be that the number of monsters has decreased?

That can’t be possible.

The northern region was where thousands of birds were born every day.

As the number increases, it increases, not decreases.

“It’s definitely strange.”

Among the monsters, there are those that find food in the sand using vibrations or ultrasonic waves.

And because they can detect them from quite a distance, people who came to the North generally encountered three or four monsters a day as they headed toward the mountains.

But I haven’t even been able to meet such monsters now.

The desert was so quiet, as if the monsters never existed in the first place.

‘This is a bit boring.’

It was good at first.

Just walking was quite boring.

It was amazing how the main character was able to move something like this on his own.

Still, if you look at the results alone, it was good.

Because you don’t have to waste unnecessary stamina.

“How are you feeling?”

And above all, there were Raina and Ellis in the party who were almost powerless.

It was very difficult for an ordinary woman’s body to endure the desert environment.

Nevertheless, they endured in silence and without complaining.

“…Honestly, my legs hurt.”

But there was a limit to that too.

After walking silently for two days, Raina’s feet and legs were swollen.

Since I had never done such a forced march before, my body could not withstand it.

And it was the same for Ellis.

Although the situation was better than Raina’s, the condition of her legs was not that good.

Nevertheless, the reason she didn’t frown even once was because she was very patient and also because she worked out with me.

“it’s okay. “I think you should take care of Miss Raina rather than me.”

He said his legs were nothing and lowered the hem of his pants that he had briefly raised to improve their condition.

Seeing that, I was silent for a moment and couldn’t say anything.

Why did she do this?

‘I think she was the one who suffered the most from Raymond.’

Her behavior in not going back when I told her to do so was definitely abnormal.

However, she was not described in detail in the original work, and it did not seem like she would say it herself.

“Let’s rest for now.”

Anyway, if we go one more day, we can get close to the border.

There was no need to move quickly since we were not being chased by monsters and there was no immediate urgency.

“Drink some potion. “Beth, can you use some magic?”

He handed the intermediate potion to Ellis and Reina and asked her.

If it weren’t for her, I would have used the highest-quality potion, but if I, who hid my identity, suddenly took out a top-class potion that even nobles could not use, I would inevitably be suspicious.

“Ha….”

It’s definitely uncomfortable to hide your identity.

There were many restrictions in many ways.

However, what I could gain from it was good and valuable enough to bear all of this.

“It may hurt at first, but please be patient. “It will get better with time.”

Potions heal wounds but do not relieve fatigue.

Therefore, you should wait for the fatigue accumulated in your legs to be relieved naturally by resting, or use magic to force it to be relieved.

And the process is very painful.

“Ugh…”

Rayna Ellis moaned as she felt the cold settle down on her legs.

It felt like my bones were freezing and it seemed very painful.

While my companions were resting, I walked around for a moment.

To prepare for any possible threat.

…!

And I could hear a sound similar to what I heard yesterday.

The sound of a six-legged animal crawling.

The voices of many people.

And the most voluptuous female voice in front of him.

“shit.”

I didn’t know it would come so quickly.

Even though they are called predators that fly and crawl in the desert.

I never thought I could find it this quickly.

‘Is he a wizard?’

That would be impossible without a wizard.

Looking at the fact that there were wizards among the looters who visited last time, I could see that there were quite a few skilled wizards among them.

“It’s… difficult to run away.”

The group’s stamina was too low.

And I don’t think I would get very far if I ran away.

It was better to respond to them with the information I had than to run away and be caught and killed.

“Everyone, get your weapons.”

“What’s wrong?”

“brother.”

Mahol reflexively felt that something had happened to my words.

And Reina looked at him with a worried face.

I brought Maholman to my side and spoke to Beatrice.

“Use Silence and Illusion right now. And you must not loosen it until I give you a separate signal.”

Beatrice nodded and chanted a spell.

In an instant, their bodies became transparent and even the sound disappeared from where they were.

Heeheeheehee!

And then, a little later, the looters showed up.

Their appearance was quite different from before.

First of all, the color and size of the Nata they were riding were different.

It was twice as big as the marauders we had encountered before and was red in color.

And on their backs hung the flag of a sword pierced through the skull of a marauder.

Huhhhhhhh –

they made strange noises.

And one of them, a woman, got out of Nata.

Then five of the other marauders got off the nata like her and followed her.

‘Taurine, ruler of the North.’

A sword master with sharp eyes and red eyes.

The party that marauders have established themselves in the north and raised to an unassailable position.

She was examining my body with those red eyes.

The area where her eyes touched seemed to tingle.

And that would not be an illusion.

The sword master’s gaze, when possessed by aura, is dangerous enough to kill an ordinary person.

“Is it you guys?”

The woman opened her mouth.

You guys. I should think he’s referring to me and Mahol.

Her eyes moved away from me and towards my back.

With the illusion unfolding, I was seeing exactly the location of the group who were holding their breath.

‘I knew I couldn’t fool the Sword Master. Still, Beatrice unfolded it.’

I didn’t know it would be so easy to get caught.

However, he did not signal Beatrice to break the spell.

He simply took a step to the side and blocked the group from her.

Her eyes lit up for a moment at that action.

“Looking at your reaction, it’s you guys. “If you touched us, you probably know what that means, right?”

She bared her teeth and showed hostility.

I mean you guys.

He was asking if it was true that I had attacked the marauders.

I didn’t deny it.

Because I knew that denying it would be useless.

“I don’t know what you’re asking, but if you’re asking about those people who attacked the marauders. Yes, I am correct.”

I answered calmly.

But the answer seems to have stimulated her.

A force like hot heat radiated from her body.

I thought Mahol would react to that, so I grabbed his shoulder.

Mahol’s shoulders, which had been shaking for a moment, calmed down.

“You did it knowingly? “What a funny guy.”

His momentum even affected the magic of Beatrice behind him.

The illusion she unfolded fluttered, appearing and disappearing repeatedly.

The Sword Master’s momentum was by no means light.

It was so heavy and scary that it was difficult to even stand.

“Who can remain silent in a situation where their own life is in danger?”

I quietly relaxed.

My momentum wasn’t as strong as the Sword Master’s, but it was enough to protect Mahol and the group.

My momentum pushed Taurine’s momentum away.

“Whoop…!”

I’m out of breath.

Even though he used Aura, it was still difficult to withstand the Sword Master’s momentum.

But it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t bear it, so I straightened my back and looked at her.

“Hoo.”

I guess it was just my delusion that her eyes sparked interest, as if she had discovered a toy.

She stuck out her bright red tongue and scanned her lips, then her greedy eyes scanned my body.

That gaze made me feel as if my body had become a doll and was naked in front of her.

“….”

I accepted that unpleasant gaze as calmly as possible.

How much time has passed like that?

By the time my back became damp with sweat.

The momentum that had been pressing us disappeared in an instant.

“Hahaha! A guy I like has arrived!”

The sound of her laughter tickled my ears.
