Episode 210: Life is cruel (5)
The Inquisitor lowered his head in guilt as he watched the back of the person leaving without hesitation. I felt guilty that I had sent him to the most dangerous place alone without being able to help him.
Maybe it was because I knew he wasn’t taking care of himself, but I was driving him to his death. Or it could be because of her sense of being particularly anxious.
“Concentrate.”
Suddenly!
But in the meantime, Pyaenjili, who was alternating between spearing and archery, said something. It seemed like she couldn’t concentrate on the fight at all.
“…I get it.”
“And this one couldn’t be helped. So don’t take it to heart too much.”
“…!”
Is this guy really a mind reader? Or is she just good at reading?
The Inquisitor sighed and released divine power. The guys clinging to the wall were pushed out.
I shouldn’t have overexerted myself as the enemy coming from afar seemed extremely strong… but I couldn’t just play around.
“Do you really think so?”
Still having doubts, she asked to be sure.
Deathbringer answered the question with a dry face.
“That’s the reality. “The enemy doesn’t only appear in that one place, and you don’t run fast.”
“The devil knight also rode a horse this time…”
“More than anything, the devil knight is not suitable for this position.”
okay. This incident does not necessarily mean that the Demon Knight must go there, but that the Inquisitor must remain here, so the Demon Knight, who remains, went.
Unlike her, who was drooling as she continued to speak, Deathbringer concluded indifferently.
“why…?”
“If I had to choose someone who has the advantage of covering a large area, it would be you. “You are the one who does not lose strength on the battlefield where you have to fight with countless others.”
Inquisitors are those who have greater continuity in battle, those who are less limited wherever the battlefield is, and those who can significantly reduce damage by strengthening and healing something.
“I don’t know the identity of the demon that appeared behind you, but the damage you will reduce by staying here and fighting will be greater than the damage you can reduce by going. Well, I don’t know if there comes a situation where I have to kill that huge thing, but… I wonder if it’s something I don’t have to kill. Of course, the possibility of that happening is significantly low.”
The Inquisitor’s face was filled with emotion. Of course, apart from the reality that it was inevitable, her guilt still remains.
“I see…”
“And aren’t you the type of person to go even if you didn’t recommend it? “Leave an appropriate amount.”
“Still, I feel so sad that the most I can do for him is send him to the battlefield.”
She formed a huge golden membrane and struck the sea in front of the castle wall. The demons that were jumping upward were forced to sink to the bottom of the sea, and quite a few of them died in the process. It was like being pricked by a thorn or being roasted to a crisp by a spell struck without interference.
“That goes for me too.”
However, the waves became increasingly stronger. As if I was going to climb over the castle wall.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
“…!”
“If you didn’t have shoulders and neck, would you forget about your head? “Are you going to leave the weapons we provided without maintenance?”
And a sound louder than any magic item ever used rang out. Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The sound of something spinning was strange. It was a sound coming from a piece of iron with an elongated cylindrical body.
“What are you doing, seeing physical magic for the first time?”
A person who even stands on it and starts an argument as naturally as pouring water.
Just right. The person who threw the round object, removing something with his teeth, brushed his hair back. chuck. What follows is a stop.
Chiiik!
“Throw it away, you little fish.”
Merman was hit by something round and melted.
“….”
“….”
… As far as they knew, wasn’t that an item that high-ranking soldiers rarely used and used very carefully? I heard that if the contents come into contact with your body, your skin will melt, so be very careful when throwing it. I’ve never written it in such a tough way.
An awkward silence fell between the Inquisitor and the Deathbringer at the unexpected sight.
* * *
Quang!
Cheongsanho’s escort’s eyes widened at the sudden presence.
“you are…!”
Unlike the mouth that reflexively asks the other person’s identity, the hand quickly picks up the fallen Cheongsanho. Because he was a little tall and skinny, the stick-like Cheongsanho was held in both hands.
“go.”
Meanwhile, the person who joined in was jingling his only earring. Her messy, loose hair is the color of gold that has lost its luster.
“I have no intention of protecting and fighting.”
“…I don’t know who it is, but a demon is performing a ritual inside. It must be stopped. please.”
“is it so.”
She took a deep breath and let it out. To prevent unnecessary injuries or to prevent slipping, I tightened the bandages around my hands and arms again.
“Those clothes won’t tear or burn! Please also note that…!”
Meanwhile, the added information helps determine future fighting methods.
She raised her eyebrows, saying it was such a strange outfit. I thought it would be something as magical as the clothes worn by a demon knight.
Quang!
“What are you again?”
In the meantime, the secretary returned to her original position by pushing away the fragments of the collapsed building.
There are several more holes in the space behind the secretary, as if she had been pushed into this one room. Stone fragments tumbled in the direction from which they had been pushed.
“Barbarians from the North?”
hmm. She didn’t wear it until now because she didn’t want to hear that sound… She bent her neck back and forth, wondering how she could hear that sound as soon as she put it on.
It wasn’t much of a concern.
“I think a hunter to kill you will suffice for now.”
“Is that really the case? “You can’t do anything on this earth if you only have a long tongue.”
Her feet dragged and she settled down. The thick fabric fluttered and then boom! He disappeared with a sound.
Pubububung.
Then, as new flares lit up the sky several times, she disappeared with a bang.
Whick! Then, it suddenly appeared in the center of the road leading to the secretary. The hem of the thick cloth draped over his body fluttered.
The secretary waved her hand half a beat late, wondering if there was no response at all. The sight of a huge hand slicing through the air heavily is truly amazing.
widely.
If you don’t hit one, it means nothing.
She kicked the ground just in time, jumped over the hand, and stepped on the secretary’s shoulder with her foot. Then he hit the secretary on the back of the neck with his heel.
Although it is said that it will not tear or burn, it is important to know whether it is at the level of preventing even physical shock.
“urg!”
The secretary urgently stretched out her other hand backwards to guard.
However, although it may not leave any marks on the clothes, it was confirmed that it stumbled forward the moment it was struck.
It seems like there is some force involved in pushing or pulling.
She organized the attack method to be taken in the future. It would be better to focus on striking and joint techniques instead of cutting or tearing with bare hands anyway.
After jumping to the other side, she turned around without even having time to catch her breath and burrowed inside the secretary.
It was an act aimed at making it difficult to respond to such a huge hand at a distance that touches the skin.
The secretary’s hawk-like eyes twisted and he waved his arms as if to shake them off. She was lying flat on her stomach, not suitable for her size, and as soon as her arms passed her, she jumped up as if she was flying.
Pow!
Her knee landed squarely in the opponent’s solar plexus.
As expected, it worked. Although he may have reacted less than a normal person, his face clearly felt pain.
After gaining confidence, she moved her fist next. It is a fist made with the index finger sticking out to produce a sharp impact.
However, instead of the heavy hitting sensation, something else comes from the hand hitting the nose in the neck area between the clavicle and the clavicle.
This is because a protective film is instantly formed on the face.
Of course, as if there was a condition, one of the jewels on the secretary’s ear cuff type earring was smashed.
Quang!
The person who was staggering lowered his swollen arms, inflated his legs, and hit the ground. The edge of the waterway collapsed, releasing demonic energy ahead.
This was a tactic that demon knights often used. She stepped back, leaving a thin scar etched into the surface of her skin.
Separately, what are the conditions for activating that shield? How long does it last? What are the limits of blocking? What is the connection between earring jewels breaking?
Grumbling.
The secretary’s feet came back again. The person who realized this only after touching the earring in his ear with his finger distorted his face.
“A people who only fights…!”
If you say it that way, it’s nothing more or less than a compliment.
She moved her body flexibly, avoiding the huge hand, and kicked up a rock on the floor with her toes.
The secretary slipped backwards and hit the stone with his hand as it flew towards the opponent’s face.
“this…!”
But it’s a shame if you only do it once.
She threw five or six more rocks and then placed her hand on the building right behind her. The building that collapsed in the previous fight happened to have a weapon she could use.
“…!”
Pow!
The tree that had been used as a pillar had now collapsed, and the lone tree sticking out between the rubble was wielded like a weapon.
The secretary, as if not expecting this, narrowed his eyes and blocked it. Kwasik! The wooden pillar broke at once, and the remaining pillar flew away, aiming for the secretary’s head.
“this!”
The secretary also blocked him. Even with protective gear, it was the behavior of an ordinary person who reflexively tried to block attacks that returned to the head.
Then it’s convenient. She quickly approached and gave a spinning kick while the secretary blocked her view with her own hand. The heel struck the secretary’s temple.
Clink.
Then another jewel on the cuff broke.
I think it would break if the jewels were to bear the impact of a limited amount of damage to the head and exceed the limit… Anyway, there are 4 left on the left and right.
“…!”
Nullifying the impact rather than dispersing it brings a significantly different picture to the fight.
Knowing that, she stepped back without any regrets.
The other person realized that the jewel was broken and his expression distorted again. It was none of my business.
Like a hunter who has discovered how to hunt, she persistently aimed for the opponent’s head. It didn’t matter even if the other person noticed it.
“Aaaahhh!”
I only targeted it because it was the easiest way to kill, but there were many ways to torment people without killing them.
“I guess you thought all you had to do was protect your weaknesses, right?”
For example, you can break the opponent’s fingers, break the opponent’s arm using the joint, or hit the opponent’s ankle with a stone so that the bone is visible.
She only aimed at the head, leaving the person who blatantly defended only that area and neutralizing other parts in an instant. It didn’t matter if the opponent inflated his body with demonic energy.
From what she observed, the opponent was only able to strengthen one part of her body, and she was able to break a person’s limbs under those conditions.
Clink!
The last jewel was broken.
“I am I…”
Poop!
Her patience also broke. She knocked her opponent down in one fell swoop and lifted her foot to crush his head.
Quang!
It would have been like that even if the red water called ‘flowing fire’ in her hometown hadn’t come out and tried to attack her.
Instead of confirming the kill, she chose to sacrifice herself for the next battle.
[No, no, no.]
In the meantime, the red water that came out wrapped around the secretary’s body. “not…!” A short scream and a burning sound were heard. The woman’s screams were deafening.
[I can’t believe they can’t even play the role of gatekeeper properly. You always disappoint. Well, it doesn’t matter.]
“I’m sorry….”
[Can I kill you instead? Right?]
“Oh no…!”
[It doesn’t matter if you disagree. As long as the power of the original body is granted, there is no problem with the contract penalty.]
The red water completely swallowed the secretary’s body and melted it.
[More than anything, there’s no way I would have just watched you steal Moby Dick’s pearls. You have to covet what you covet.]
Meanwhile, a fire was rising from a building where several corpses were strewn about. It was a fire that burned the entire building.
Also, a dense dark red mass was leaking from the entrance, as if it was about to harden black at any moment. I think that when the red water hardens, it will turn into something like that.
[See you again.]
Chambang.
As if it wasn’t hot enough, a shaggy of a type I’d never seen before walked on top of it. no. Is it really Shaggy? Can a dress made of yellow-hot iron and ears and tails made of the same material really be considered shaggy?
Wouldn’t it be better to be the devil?
[Are you going to fight for revenge?]
She twitched her lips. Even if the appearance of the cancer had changed, I could immediately recall its identity with just one thought.
That’s the devil from last time. Something she couldn’t and couldn’t stop.
“no.”
In my opinion, I want to say yes to the idea of revenge.
But she was still on the borderline. Between the two yokes: Berserk and Weapon Master.
still.
“But we will fight.”
Therefore, this cannot be a revenge war. The battle for revenge will only be possible when she throws off the two yokes and leaves behind only the right name.
“Even if it’s not a revenge fight, it’s a fight that can determine victory or defeat.”
However, I will not back down from this fight.
[It’s definitely different from last time… but it’s still not enough. Are you going to die?]
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
Even if it wasn’t revenge, there was a way for her to win.
“My role is to kill time.”
okay. If they come, who can’t possibly have noticed the existence of the devil, she will definitely win.
