Episode 11

In fact, in places like this, the problem is after it rises.

The landing point must be chosen carefully.

So, while I was hanging on the rock wall, I looked for a place in advance.

I soared into the air, landed in a place I had planned, and then ran straight away.

Kurrrr… … !

The cliff path shook due to the impact of the landing, and soon began to collapse.

This means that it was a precarious path from the beginning.

“It’s collapsing!”

“Run, run!”

Only then, after understanding what I had shouted and the situation, did the rest follow me.

No need to look behind you.

I could feel the road I was running on immediately collapsing.

It’s not a landslide, but it’s not that small either.

If you get swept away, you literally won’t be able to recover a single bone.

I could feel people coming close behind me.

He looks somewhat frustrated.

“Can’t you run a little faster!”

“huh. “This is maximum speed.”

“Tsk… … .”

Seeing the knights overcome with impatience somehow made me feel happy.

Even though I was out of breath, I burst out laughing and ran, with the knights and Arjan running after me.

We raced like crazy until we completely left the cliff road.

Each attribute has different pros and cons.

For example, the forest greening technique that Master Dae-hyeong learned is the simplest martial art and is characterized by being linear.

This means that, like a giant tree growing straight up, the greatest effect is achieved when you cut off the twigs and focus on just one thing.

So, in the grand scheme of things, there is only one martial art that the great master has learned.

In addition, the rock metal magic technique practiced by the second sister-in-law and the Manbyeon Geumgang technique practiced by the fourth sister-in-law each have their own characteristics.

So, what is the greatest strength of Cheonhwa Jeilgong that I learned?

It is resilience.

You may ask what is the relationship between flame and recovery, but since ancient times, flame has also symbolized life and rebirth or something.

In any case, just learning this new skill greatly increases your physical recovery, and this recovery does not simply refer to the regeneration of wounds.

The biggest effect is seen in physical training, and because it maximizes metabolism, overworked muscles regenerate very quickly.

In short, this means that the time it takes to create a body can be drastically shortened.

This is also the reason why I went hiking without using my strength.

Of course, it is not without drawbacks.

First, the pain felt in the body is beyond imagination.

It’s better when I’m moving, but when I’m resting, it hurts like my whole body is being torn apart as a side effect of the super-fast recovery.

And the second is the amount of food.

“Give me more food.”

I scratched my head and held out the tray to Osel.

“… “I think you’ve eaten enough.”

“You need to eat a lot because you are growing up.”

“Food must be conserved as much as possible.”

“why. If it doesn’t work out, you can just kill and eat a wild animal.”

Osel sighed at my words.

“… Master, we are knights, not hunters. Do you know how easy it is to hunt animals there? In a way, it’s much trickier than slaying monsters.”

“… … .”

Even though this guy’s way of speaking is harsh, it’s not actually wrong.

Hunting animals in the mountains is not an easy task.

Moreover, this is a mountain range full of monsters.

The animals that live there are probably much smarter and more perceptive than other creatures.

‘If I can’t decide, should I at least pick some fruit and eat it?’

That’s a bit much.

Meat is essential to replenish energy.

Looking at Osel’s attitude, it doesn’t look like he’ll give me anything to eat.

I regretfully took the beef jerky out of my pocket and chewed it.

“Anyway, I heard monsters appear even at the beginning, so it’s quieter than I thought.”

Arjan, who was standing next to him, nodded and agreed.

“okay. “Maybe you can pass by without encountering a single person.”

“oh.”

If you say something like that…

Wow!

Suddenly, a monster appeared ahead, cutting through the bushes.

* * *

The obstacles you encounter most while working as a mercenary are not people but monsters.

Of course, I fought various monsters as a mercenary for several years.

Those who appear before our eyes are no exception.

A stupid-looking face and a primitive outfit.

The epitome of regenerative power.

A monster that is said to be a relatively high-ranking species among Green Skins.

troll.

There were a total of five trolls that appeared, and after encountering these monsters, I realized for the first time why the Gem Mountains were banned.

‘It’s big.’

It’s not appropriate to apply the expression “average” to monsters, but trolls usually don’t exceed 3 meters in size.

But these guys seem to be at least 1.5 times bigger than the trolls I used to know.

If a horse is 1.5 meters long and the standard is 3 meters, this means that their size is close to 4 to 5 meters, which is equivalent to a monster the size of a house walking around.

“Ready for battle!”

The moment Osel shouted in a loud voice, the knights quickly lined up.

Wow!

Perhaps sensing their speculation, the trolls also made a mindless charge.

‘I’d like to fight at least one guy myself.’

Even though there is a lot of physical fatigue, it seems like there will be no problem for at least one person.

I’ve been itching to use Hundred Eclipse in actual combat, but I don’t think Arjan, let alone the knights, will allow it.

So, first of all, let’s watch this fight with interest.

This is an opportunity to truly observe the skills of the renowned Fang Knights.

Partschut!

Blue sword energy soared from the knights’ swords.

Those commonly called knights are all mana blades that can be wielded.

However, the deep color of the shimmering blue flame shows their level.

In general, the higher the density of mana, the more transparent it appears visually.

“Avoid unnecessary attacks! “It must be finished with the first attack!”

I was a little surprised by Osel’s instructions.

Killing a troll with a single blow is quite tricky.

Of course, since it is a higher species of monster, its skin is thick and its bones are also strong. Needless to say, the regenerative power hurts my mouth.

However, in other words, difficult means that it is not impossible.

Brain and heart, which are common weak points of living organisms.

No matter how much a troll is, if those two parts are damaged, there is no answer.

In short, Osel’s instructions were difficult but accurate.

‘however… … .’

Aside from these precise instructions, I ended up discovering some sloppy parts in the knights’ ranks.

Was the battle so intense that they didn’t realize it?

At this time, one troll forced his body into the weak part and eventually collapsed the battle line.

“Acha!”

“Be careful!”

Amid the puzzled voices of the knights, a troll could be seen running screaming.

At the same time, something fast passed by from the side.

Pot!

Then there seemed to be a blinding flash of light, and the troll’s movements stopped.

The troll’s appearance seemed unchanged at first glance, but I could see a small hole near its uvula.

“Okay… … .”

Blood and phlegm were seething in my throat.

When I looked to the side, I saw that Arjan was holding a thin dagger in his hand.

“Deacon, you’re great?”

“That’s too much praise.”

It wasn’t sarcasm, it was pure admiration, but seeing Arjan retract the dagger immediately afterwards made me nag.

“But it seems like your experience is biased towards interpersonal combat.”

“yes?”

“Trolls don’t die like that.”

Oh my gosh!

When the troll got up and charged again, I turned the ring on my middle finger once.

A ring sword, an artifact brought from the mansion.

A faint halo of light erupts from the ring, and its appearance changes into a sword with a neat design.

He took a big step forward and plunged the blade into the scar that Arzan had created earlier in the troll’s throat.

Whoops, the troll’s throat was clogged and blood poured out. The eyes that looked at me turned blood-colored and soon shed bloody tears.

thud-.

Since the same vital point was attacked twice, even the most persistent person wouldn’t have the talent to withstand it.

Trolls are monsters that cannot let down their guard in many ways.

Considering the fact that this monster was a mutant, I finished the job by stabbing the blade into its vital points several times.

By the time I wiped the blood from my face, the knights’ battle was slowly coming to an end.

“young master?”

Belatedly, Osel came running towards me.

I looked at his face for a moment without responding.

I can’t find any sense of discomfort in his urgent expression and attitude as if he is worried about me.

“-ah.”

At this moment, I remembered the incident on the cliff road.

A road that suddenly collapsed.

Even though I was exhausted, I wasn’t enough to miss the weakened ground.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Arjan, who was walking in front from the beginning, missed me, but what about the knights behind me?

They must have seen me stumbling, and they weren’t that far away.

If I had made up my mind to do so, I think I would have been able to catch it before I fell.

Of course, it was too vague to be sure, so I put it on hold for now. Maybe I’m thinking too much.

But a similar coincidence occurred again.

A gap that just appeared in the battle line.

It was a low-level loophole that did not match the quick movements shown by the knights.

As I said, I have one annoying habit.

Always assume the worst case scenario.

At this moment, I remembered someone’s face with a budding doubt.

Not only psychological warfare, but also all kinds of schemes, tricks, and maneuvers… … . Anyway, the fourth executioner was an expert in mud fighting.

There was something that the fourth executioner often said.

‘Treat your friends with a smile, and treat your enemies with a deeper smile.’

“Are you okay?”

Osel came up at that moment and asked in a puzzled voice.

I followed my brother-in-law’s advice and smiled.

“I’m fine.”
