Episode 206:
Count Warrug has a snowball fight with Arjuna.
To be precise, Arjuna was calmly accepting the glare Count Warrug was glaring at.
Count Warrug, who found her reaction strange, sneakily approached me and spoke to me.
“Are you hiding something?”
As he tapped my shoulder with his elbow, I glanced at Arjuna and then answered.
“No, there is none.”
I didn’t plan on telling you yet.
I wasn’t sure if I would hear anything good even if I said it, and I doubted whether I would even believe it.
If it’s only going to cause trouble, it’s better not to say anything.
“But just like the Marquis said, you are driving things along.”
“Would I want to do that?”
He looks at my face. Then he frowned and said.
“I wouldn’t have known it before, but now I’m not sure that you didn’t mean it.”
I was silent.
To be honest, I was a little confused too. Accidents occurred wherever I went, and I began to wonder if I was causing accidents like the famous detective boy.
“Is that possible? “I’m not that reckless.”
Count Warrug opens his eyes and looks at me.
“You don’t know that. Because I saw something.”
Seeing the look in his eyes that seemed like he didn’t believe me, I gave up making excuses any longer.
No matter what I said, what would come out of him was predetermined.
“But how much further do we have to go?”
“We’re almost there.”
Me and they were moving through the forest.
In order to keep my promise to Daejeonsa, I am going to the place I promised with them.
I was wondering if I could go with Count Warrug and Arjuna, but I wasn’t told to come alone.
It’s their fault for not setting limits, not mine.
I kept my promise just by visiting them.
“Here it is.”
The place where I first met Daejeon Temple.
I set foot in a small, artificially created vacant lot.
Crumbling –
the sound of an animal is heard.
As soon as I stepped in, red eyes glared at me.
A look that shows that they will not leave alone those who cross the border.
I ignored those looks and went inside.
Count Warrug and Arjuna become nervous as the cries get louder as they get closer.
The sense of death was so intense that they felt nervous.
However, the tension that had become more and more intense disappeared as soon as my true self was fully revealed.
The life disappeared from nowhere, as if what they felt was nothing more than a hallucination, as if they had never radiated life in the first place.
“What was it you?”
“hey! “The warrior is back!”
“Everyone come out here!”
A barbarian has appeared.
At the shout of the barbarian with the tattoo on his face, barbarians appeared from all directions.
“yes! “A warrior must not break his promise!”
“I was already slowly preparing. “If you don’t come, I’m going to pick you up.”
“It’s been a while since I tasted blood, so I feel a little sad.”
Some of them said creepy things, but overall they were happy to see me.
As expected, he was a warrior who performed a warrior’s ceremony in front of Daejeon Temple.
Warriors were important to them at a time when the warrior ritual itself was difficult.
“Where is Daejeon Temple?”
“I’m waiting for you because you’ll be here soon.”
The barbarians say so and put their arms around my shoulders.
Their eyes glowed fiercely as they looked behind me for a moment.
“What are they?”
“Are you an enemy?”
“What enemy? “Where are you?”
The barbarians started going crazy at his words.
It was when Count Warrug and Arjuna reached for their weapons and I was trying to make an excuse.
“quiet!”
A loud male voice was heard.
At that voice, the noisy barbarians became quiet.
They look at one place.
I also turned my head to follow them.
“Why all the fuss?”
It was Daejeon Temple.
Carrying a bear bigger than my body on my shoulders.
He looked around, saw me and smiled brightly.
“Oh, you came on time. “I was already trying to prepare little by little.”
Hearing his wistful, welcoming words, I pushed my arm away from the savage on my shoulder.
“I kept my promise.”
“Yes, you kept it.”
Daejeon nods, saying he understands.
I also found two people who had not yet come out to the clearing, like the barbarian who had put his arm on my shoulder for a moment.
Despite the anger boiling in his body, he asked me calmly.
“Who are those guys behind you? “Are you an enemy?”
“He is my colleague.”
I told him before I could say anything more.
Even if he didn’t know other barbarians, the great warrior was a person who could communicate well.
“Colleague… I see.”
The Great Master nodded as if he understood and raised the corners of his mouth.
“But that is your colleague, not ours. “You are the only one we accept, everyone else is our enemy.”
At the words of the great warrior, the barbarians take up arms.
I glanced at them and said,
“So, I would like to perform the warrior’s ritual.”
“what?”
The great warrior opens his eyes wide.
After a while, he started laughing heartily.
“Hahaha! Right. “There was a warrior’s consciousness.”
He puts the bear down.
Then he looked around at the barbarians around him and said:
“It just worked out just right. “There were children who had not yet undergone the warrior ceremony.”
As the great warrior says so, he gestures towards the barbarians.
Then three of them, the men, come forward.
It was a familiar situation, so I watched quietly.
The three started bickering among themselves, and one man was pushed back.
“You can do it with these two guys here. But this time it won’t be easy. “They are the ones I carefully selected and brought with me to go to war.”
Daejeonsa speaks with a confident face.
He said this time it would be different than when I did it.
Rather, it was an expectant face.
It looks like he expected me to bring a group.
Well, that was natural.
Although I have performed the warrior’s rituals, the main camp is different.
You can make enemies of each other at any time, so it’s strange to come to Saji alone.
Safety devices are necessary.
‘Maybe I should look at it a little pity. Because you will lose an ally this time too.’
Unfortunately, this was the Master.
No matter how monstrous a barbarian’s physical ability is, he cannot defeat the Master.
The great warrior reacted that way because he didn’t know that my companions were masters. If he had known, he would never have readily accepted it.
A master is something that even he himself cannot predict whether he will win or lose. No, you could actually die.
But is it any different for a Daejeon warrior to be an ordinary warrior?
Rather, it would be fortunate if he didn’t die.
It was his mistake as Daejeonsa must not have known that.
But you can’t just blame him.
That’s why there are so few masters.
So much so that there are only 10 people in the entire continent.
So you would never think that there would be two masters next to me.
“Did you hear?”
I called Count Warrug and Arjuna who were waiting behind me.
He was smiling when he first saw Count Warrug, but his face hardened when Arjuna appeared.
His reaction reminded me of something I had forgotten.
‘And then she was the Red Hawk Chief.’
If it was Daejeonsa, he would definitely have participated in that war.
You must have seen her bravely shooting arrows.
It goes without saying that once they realize who she is, they will bare their teeth at us.
I admitted my mistake and took the name.
So that we can attack them at any time.
It might have been different if I was alone, but as long as I was with two masters, I never thought I would lose.
But regardless of my worries, the face of the great warrior who was examining Arjuna relaxed.
“It looks similar. She looks like the girl I know. But… that can’t be possible. No matter how much of a master he is, he can’t live with it. Moreover, I don’t have a bow.”
I was relieved to hear his muttering.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to think she was the piercer.
If that were the case, she should have been under the care of the elves.
Above all, as she said, she couldn’t get out of her hospital bed if it weren’t for me.
Bloodstone is an ore that sucks life force.
No matter how much you are a master, you could die if you keep wearing it.
Moreover, if you are seriously injured like her, it is not surprising if you die at any time.
And the fact that she, a bow master, was holding a dagger also helped to avoid suspicion.
I spoke to Count Warrug and Arjuna who were approaching.
“You must kill him.”
“Kill me?”
“yes. “You must kill him.”
Arjuna nodded, while Count Warrug frowned at my words.
I nod, thinking for a moment that there must be a reason for everything.
“First, we will try to resolve it peacefully, and if we can’t decide, we will think about it later.”
“i get it.”
He says he understands and grabs the sword.
In fact, it was a face that I liked even more.
“It’s very simple and pleasing to say that you can kill them.”
Barbarians and Seirons are enemies.
And he had been down to the South several times.
There was a time when Easton almost went bankrupt.
Of course, I couldn’t help but have a bad relationship with them.
“Kill, kill, kill. “I can finally relieve my stress.”
Count Warrug relaxed his grip, stopping his grip on the sword.
“I need to feel the taste properly.”
For some reason, I get goosebumps. He didn’t seem to have any intention of killing him gracefully.
I had every intention of beating him again and again.
And it was the same for Arjuna.
“First, remove the flesh from the thighs and cut the crotch. “Pull out your muscles…”
I unknowingly fell away from her as she muttered softly as if she was casting a curse.
To live? Hatred? It was like a combination of all the negative emotions.
A face that is very happy to be able to kill a barbarian.
She harbored such hatred towards barbarians that she considered it a blessing to just kill her sparring partner.
“Then who will do it first?”
Daejeon steps forward and speaks. At his words, Count Warrug and Arjuna step forward, saying that each will do it first.
He looks like he wants to let go of the anger and resentment that has built up so far as quickly as possible.
Daejeonsa was even more delighted to see that.
Active participation in battle was what they most wanted from their enemies.
“We do it one person at a time. “I think it would be better for Count Warrug to do it first.”
“yes.”
Count Warrug was a little embarrassed by her behavior, nodding obediently to my words.
This is because just a moment ago, we were competing with him to see who would fight first.
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when she, who never showed any will to back down, broke her will with just one word from me.
I shrugged my shoulders and said to him who gave me a suspicious look at my relationship with her.
“Because it was decided. “Let’s finish it quickly.”
He hesitated at my words but nodded.
I know what’s important now.
