Episode 367

When I was kidnapped and caught by Dorothy, I could only think of two people who could fix my situation.

One of them was, needless to say, an iron-blooded man… but honestly, the chances of this guy suddenly coming to my rescue are close to zero.

Not only did he not know my current whereabouts, but I also felt that Delak was moving under his own judgment.

Above all, I don’t even know if there are any left in Airuga.

Naturally, the last one I considered was Risera Digos.

How can I leave a record of the fact that I was kidnapped? I racked my brain desperately, and the first thing that came to mind was the snack I had bought with the bribe.

I handed out cookies to back alley vagrants to leave my mark.

Of course, I didn’t think it was a good idea.

If I had to say, it was a last-ditch effort.

But when a cornered rat pounces on a cat, if it’s lucky, it might just bite its carotid artery.

Whether the possibility is big or small, if you just try, there is a chance that a way out will open up.

‘The important thing is an unwavering heart… … .’

I tried and I succeeded.

“Who did you call?”

He didn’t respond but just smiled.

I decided to actively accept the advice I just heard from Ozma.

The atmosphere in the arena seems to have loosened up a bit thanks to the commotion caused by Lisera Digos.

The dizziness that was bothering me has disappeared and my physical vitality has returned to some extent.

I immediately pulled up my stats.

As soon as the cross that bound the body broke in an instant, a ferocious noise was felt from behind.

Before I knew it, a large lion was running towards me.

The man called Ryan must have been Suin.

It was literally lightning-quick, but it was an attack based on instinct and the sound was so honest that it wasn’t hard to dodge.

I rolled on the floor a couple of times and then jumped up from my seat.

“Give me your brain!”

Was that kid’s name Crow?

He ran towards me, screaming with joy, but his running movements were a bit odd. It felt as if several of his joints were twisted.

But the speed was abnormally fast.

The Ryan I had just seen was also quite impressive, but this one was closing the distance between me and him as if it had no weight at all.

‘What is this guy doing?’

I was so surprised that I half-reflexively swung my sword, but Crow twisted his body strangely as he ran towards me to avoid my attack.

‘crazy.’

This wasn’t a problem with the human body or joints or anything like that.

Unless you’re a slime in human form, it’s impossible to dodge an attack at such a flexible angle.

Of course it can’t be slime.

The body beneath the robe was not visible, but it was dressed in a very shabby manner.

At that moment, the hood was removed and the face was revealed, and I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

It is a strange face with eyes and mouth sewn with thread.

If it were a human, it would have been a horrifying sight that would be hard to look at with one’s eyes open…

I guess I should say it’s fortunate.

This guy’s face looked like a doll roughly made of shabby cloth.

But how does the doll speak?

“Give me your brain!”

I kicked the face of the doll that was rushing at me like a madman.

Then the face of this guy spun around dozens of times like a top.

‘Oh… … .’

It’s not a pretty sight, and I can’t help but frown.

“Anyway, the annoying things just keep coming.”

A sigh with a somewhat low voice.

And then the last remaining figure walked towards me.

This is the female of the two men and women I met outside of the [Emerald Tower].

I glanced around to distract myself, thinking of each member of the witches’ guild present, one by one.

Dorothy the witch, Ozma the illusionist, a lion, and a doll that looks like a scarecrow… … .

What kind of face does the last person in this group, who has nothing in common, have?

I don’t feel any sensitivity.

As I watched the last person with a slightly expectant expression, the surrounding atmosphere also became somewhat strange.

The lion that acted as if it was going to bite me at any moment and the doll that was talking nonsense retreated with their mouths closed.

‘Oh my?’

This means that the trust in the last character is strong. At least in hand-to-hand combat, this woman might be the strongest.

Although his fists trembled slightly, he kept his posture relaxed and waited patiently for his opponent’s attack.

Because I am in a position where I have to waste time anyway.

How long would it take for Lise to get here? Even at this moment, a faint vibration could be felt in the room.

‘You said it was a tower. So it’s going up by destroying everything from the bottom up?’

If it were a normal space, I could roughly estimate the distance to Lise based on the strength of this vibration, but I’m not sure right now.

One thing is clear.

Lise arrives here shortly.

Because I saw hope, I regrouped my despairing feelings.

‘If things go well, I might be able to get away with my identity being revealed.’

In that case, it would be better not to give unnecessary clues. I didn’t take the 100th day ceremony and instead took a somewhat awkward pose.

It might be a little risky, but I plan to hold out without using my main until Reese comes.

And in an instant, the woman wrapped around the robe closed the distance between me and her.

It wasn’t as fast as I thought. Rather, it felt heavy. It felt like a siege tank was advancing toward me.

‘Solid, but slow.’

It feels like they’re openly inviting you to attack.

I chuckled, trying to shake off the thought that I needed to buy some time.

At a point when the distance between us was close enough, I immediately dove into the other person’s arms.

Am I tall for a woman? That’s true, but it’s also probably because my body is smaller due to my ‘Naru’ state.

It means that you have a better position than you thought.

I straightened my bent knees. My entire body, which had been compressed, bounced like a spring and hit my opponent’s chin.

Thud-!

“… … !”

It was a volume that contained quite a bit of history, but the sound and the feel were beyond my expectations.

How should I describe this feeling?

It looks like it wasn’t a human body, but a hollow metal box that was hit.

What’s even more surprising is that the person I attacked swung his weapon at me without showing any sign of being hit.

It wasn’t until I dodged that I realized it was an axe that a lumberjack would use.

‘Where on earth were you hiding that weapon?’

The battle continued in a somewhat absurd state.

Strong and solid, but not fast. A structure that pours out one-sided attacks without allowing even a single attack.

But I thought that the more I fought, the more I would suffer losses.

Because it didn’t feel like the attack was even going in properly. Considering that it was ‘Naru’s’ attack power, it was laughable.

This is because I can now turn trolls into minced meat just by using basic internal energy without using the salt-first technique or the dark moon-like incense technique.

Phew!

The swinging axe, the fists and legs that occasionally reach out towards me, are wrapped in sturdy gauntlets and boots.

Since their movements were rather violent, it wasn’t long before the hood was removed, revealing a stuffy helmet that didn’t expose a single bit of skin.

That’s what I just hit.

If that’s the case, then that means there’s full body armor underneath that robe… but when I hit it, it definitely felt like kicking an empty can.

‘After the lion and the scarecrow, who’s the Ghost Knight?’

There are so many different things going on.

Now I don’t even know why these people call themselves a coven of witches. After all, the only ones who can use magic are Dorothy and Ozma.

Moreover, the more we fight, the more familiar it feels, which is confusing.

Of course, this unidentified person is not at all familiar… …. It feels like I have fought against similar opponents.

Oh, I see.

‘It feels like I’m fighting the third death penalty.’

The levels are all different, but what should I say? The outcome of the battle is similar.

Basically, because he trusts in his overwhelming durability, he doesn’t care about most of his opponent’s attacks… … .

The offensive is solid, as if the limbs were made of metal – which they are – and it seeks efficiency.

Even if it means losing an arm, he would not hesitate to extend his hand if it meant taking the opponent’s life.

This is easier said than done, but it is a difficult mindset to fully apply in real life.

I thought that at least in my current state, I wouldn’t be able to win even if I fought this ghost knight for a whole day.

Rather, it is good.

Anyway, my goal is to buy time.

That’s the moment.

“Stop it, Teen.”

Was this woman’s name Tin?

The moment I thought that was a really annoying name, Tin stepped away from me. While looking at it, I updated one piece of information.

‘These guys don’t have the talent to fight together.’

It’s not a wheeled battle, and it’s a reason why they take turns going out one at a time.

Of course, among the wizard race, which is characterized by extreme individualism, witches are the most isolated, so it’s impossible for them to have many-to-one experiences.

“You fight better than I expected. And you’ve hidden all your strength.”

“… … .”

“Martial arts, mind techniques, and the fact that you fight with your bare hands without even using your main weapon, on the other hand, does that mean that all of those elements are very unique? So much so that if even one of them is revealed, your identity could be leaked right away. You might be more famous than I expected.”

What kind of witch is this smart?

I felt a slight chill down my spine at my opponent’s keen guess.

I wondered why he was just quietly observing the situation, but it seems he was watching my movements as I entered the battle.

The only thing Ozma misunderstood was that I was hiding my main weapon, and in reality, it would be difficult to turn the current situation around with that level of misunderstanding.

Ozma.

To be honest, this woman was the most fearful person in the room, so I snapped my fingers and looked straight at Ozma.

Then, I think again about the opponent’s abilities.

‘Illusions or hallucinations? Well, it’s something like that.’

I’m starting to think that it might be a good idea to have some tolerance for such abilities…

Suddenly, I thought to myself, “There are so many different types of people in the world.”

But it’s not like I don’t have the ability to learn.

If you get hit hard the first time you meet, it means that you tend to prepare some countermeasures before meeting again.

But since this happens so often, I feel disillusioned.

If we compare this to gambling… … .

No matter how much I increase the number of cards I have, I can only manage to hold ten, but it feels like my opponent has hundreds of cards in his hand.

Even if I prepare countermeasures, it never ends, so I am starting to get tired.

Jjang.

At that moment, I thought I heard the sound of bells coming from somewhere, and then suddenly the surroundings turned pitch black.

‘Here we go again.’

I clicked my tongue and closed my eyes for a moment.

There are two main types of these hallucinations.

The first is to show a mirage.

The second is to put a person in a semi-hypnotic state and completely control their five senses… … .

I think it was the latter that caught me off guard.

The second method is a technique that, if used properly, can completely subdue and control the opponent as you wish.

Of course, since it is such a technique, the difficulty level will be much higher. It may be possible to do it when you are off guard, but it will be difficult for me to do it when my mental power is raised.

Still, just in case, I recalled the advice of the chief priest and checked my senses for a moment.

All sense organs are functioning normally.

At least there is no abnormality in physical functions.

This means that while you are absentmindedly absentmindedly like before, you will not suddenly be tied to a cross.

‘then…….’

I opened my eyes slightly and looked ahead.

In the midst of the darkness, a rustling sound was heard and a strong vibration was felt.

A swarm of rats, countless in number, were running towards me from a distance. Their eyes were red as if soaked in blood, and their teeth and nails were sharp like rakes.

‘That might be an illusion, too.’

I know it, but it’s so real that it doesn’t feel like a fantasy at all.

When I opened my eyes wide, I could see the blood vessels in my eyeballs, so that said it all.

Should I just take it with my body?

It was the only way, but somehow I felt uneasy about doing it.

[Call my name!]

At that moment, I was slightly startled by the voice that suddenly came to me, and then I said to myself.

‘…vulcan?’

Flash!

At that moment, pure white flames enveloped my entire body, and the flock of rats that had been rushing towards me disappeared as if they had melted in the flames.

Not only that, the flames that had enveloped his body rose up to the ceiling, driving out the darkness that had enveloped the entire area.

When I blinked again, I saw Ozma with a slightly surprised look on his face.

“A human possessing the protection of the Dragon King?”

“… … .”

“Who is protecting this? It doesn’t seem to be the Three Kings, and the status of the other gods must have fallen considerably.”

Actually, I wanted to brag and say something back to that, but I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t know what kind of misfortune I would face if I continued the conversation.

Krrrr… … .

The vibrations have gotten much closer.

Not all the way to the bottom floor, but maybe the floor below it?

I almost let my guard down a little, but it’s times like these that I need to tighten my grip even more.

I’ve seen dozens of mercenaries who let their guard down at the very end, only to be shot dead by blind arrows.

“hmm…….”

Ozma narrowed his eyes for a moment and muttered.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll find out myself.”

The moment Ozma reached out to me again… … .

Suddenly, the door behind me opened wide, and an unexpected intruder barged in.

I looked back, wondering if Lise had already arrived… … .

Not at all.

“… … .”

I couldn’t help but blink my eyes for a moment and be dumbfounded.

Because in this situation, a person I never imagined I would meet appeared.

Even though he had been exposed to the southern sun for a long time, his skin was still pale and his hair, which looked like snowflakes falling on it, was somewhat disheveled.

The impression was not much different from the last time I saw them, but now their faces were revealed.

“… … .”

Seren Goodspring looked around the room and spoke in a bewildered voice.

“You guys… what on earth are you doing?”

That’s what I want to ask.
