Episode 100 30. Encounter (4)
7.
The vision becomes red.
Even exhaling was difficult, and blood was constantly flowing from my throat.
“Carooon!”
Leo’s voice came to my ear.
Charon smiled faintly. Then he glanced down at the spear that had pierced his chest.
A spear piercing through the chest from the back.
If it had gone even a little lower, it would have pierced my heart.
‘It was dangerous.’
If I hadn’t twisted my body slightly at the last moment, I would have died instantly.
It was fortunate that the concentration of the massacre was dispersed.
And the ones who created that tiny gap were none other than his colleagues.
“… … those crazy guys.”
Caron smirked as he looked at his comrades, each of whom had their weapons embedded in the bodies of the slaughtered.
Even though it is only a fragment, the opponent is the Demon King.
A being that can turn them into a handful of blood at any time.
It’s normal to be afraid. But they each held their weapons tightly with evil expressions on their faces.
They still keep a close eye on Charon’s well-being.
That sight was so funny.
Kaaaaang-!
Charon swung the guillotine and cut off Slaughter’s arm.
Then the arm of the slaughter fell to the ground, and Charon fell to the ground as well.
‘I can’t use my left arm anymore.’
He avoided instant death, but his left shoulder was shattered.
It seemed like I needed to remove the deeply embedded spear and treat it. However, if I tried to remove the spear in my current condition, I would lose consciousness due to excessive bleeding.
Charon took a deep breath, gripping the guillotine tightly. Then he bared his teeth and said.
“Did this one really hurt?”
【It’s annoying.】
The slaughtered body, now reduced to a skewer, disperses into purple smoke.
And a moment later, about thirty paces away, the massacre reappeared.
The part where his comrades had stabbed him with their swords was instantly repaired, but the wound left by the guillotine remained.
The chest area of the purple armor, where the heart would be in a human, was empty, as if something had ripped it out.
Smoke was constantly flowing out from between the wounds.
“You should have come as the main body. Isn’t that why you came down as a fragment?”
Charon mocked the massacre, then staggered to stand beside his comrades.
I think I lost too much blood, I’m having trouble breathing.
On the other hand, the state of the massacre was so perfectly normal.
Even though he had been wounded by the guillotine, it seemed to have had no effect on his terrifying strength.
Saaaaaaaaaaah-!
A dark greatsword rises from the hands of the slaughter.
It was the very same greatsword that had cut the spire in two with one blow.
Slaughter naturally grabbed the pommel of the greatsword.
Then, a terrifyingly thick black magic began to gather around the greatsword.
Crap!
The space around the greatsword becomes distorted in an ominous manner due to the dark magic gathered in the greatsword.
A force so strong that it makes your bones shiver.
The massacre was so easily carried out.
Paaaaaaaang-!
A loud noise resonates as the air is torn apart.
The moment the black energy was about to sweep away the group.
Ifrit, finally freed from his restraints, blocked the Demon King’s sword energy.
Whoosh whoosh-!
Ifrit’s body burns white.
Ifrit, who took the form of a giant bird, catches the sword energy with its sharp claws.
The Spirit King, completely released from the seal, vents his anger.
Pure flames and darkness clashed fiercely, turning the surroundings into a wasteland.
Woohoo.
Orion, who had joined Charon without realizing it, spoke while creating a hemispherical protective shield.
“Are you okay, Caron Reston?”
“I barely survived. Is there a separate pain relief magic?”
Orion noticed that Charon’s face was covered in cold sweat.
He nodded and immediately summoned the spirit.
A spirit that looks like a blue tiger.
It was a mid-level water spirit.
Srrrrrr!
The water that flowed from the spirit’s body seeped into Charon’s body, and only then did the pain stop.
“Treatment is urgent. This is not a problem that can be solved with pain relief alone.”
“We can’t treat it right away.”
Although I didn’t show it, the constant pain almost drove me crazy.
But now that the pain has stopped, I can catch my breath.
Kwaaaaang-!
Charon frowned as he watched the flames of Ifrit clashing in the air and the sword’s slaughter.
Ifrit clearly showed fighting prowess that was not lacking in the face of massacre, but it was too disappointing considering his reputation as the Spirit King.
“If it were a great forest, that little piece of land would be no match for Ifrit.”
Orion muttered quietly.
“Are you okay?”
Caron asked softly.
The elves are suffering the most damage in this battle.
Elves still consumed by murderous intent were dying without rest.
There was no way Orion didn’t know that. What commander would be okay with seeing his subordinates die so miserably?
But Orion answered with his fists clenched.
“If it weren’t for them, it would have been our own people in the forest who died. Karon Reston. Do not pity their honorable deaths. Their blood is protecting the future of the forest.”
“I don’t feel sorry for you. I just pay my respects.”
Caron nodded with a bitter smile.
For the elves, it is a battle with a future at stake.
Pitying them only insults them.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
Once again, flames and swords clashed, and a tremendous shockwave swept across the battlefield.
【Ifrit. Has the long years weathered even you?】
The gaze of the massacre was fixed on Ifrit.
Caron looked at the sight and took a deep breath.
My body was very heavy because of the spear that pierced my shoulder, but I could easily endure this much.
If I could just stab that son of a bitch one more time, I could take on more than this.
“Everyone is here.”
Then Leo asks urgently.
“… … What are you going to do?”
“What I do best.”
“what?”
“I really want to cut that kid’s throat off. So don’t stop me.”
At Caron’s words, his colleagues all began to laugh.
Then they nodded and said,
“Great pose, Caron Reston! I’m with you!”
“What are you going to do with the skewers? I’ll take the lead, so follow me.”
“Ugh. It’s my fault for… … placing my little brother in the wrong place.”
The condition of my colleagues was also not normal.
Their armor was also soaked in blood, and all three had visible wounds that exposed their bones.
But they stood in front of Charon as if it were a given.
“Open the way!”
With Utula at the forefront, his colleagues take the lead.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that these people had already fainted a while ago.
Yet they willingly brandished their weapons and struck down the slaughter.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
This time, Ifrit’s firepower is added.
Ifrit consumed the weapons of slaughter with his unquenchable flames.
Charon silently followed the path they had opened for him.
I can’t even run.
It was obvious that the moment I started running, my legs would lose strength.
Slower than ever, but surely.
So he approaches the massacre.
Just as the massacre was about to turn its head towards Caron.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
Ifrit’s claws clash with the Greatsword of Slaughter.
The massacre had no choice but to focus all its attention on Ifrit.
Thanks to this, a gap is created.
Woooooooooo-!
“Utula.”
“Speak, Caron Reston.”
“Throw me at that kid.”
“i get it.”
Utula didn’t ask why. He just nodded and lifted Charon’s body.
The giant’s muscles, covered in scars, twitched.
Boooooooong-!
As Utula threw Charon with all his might, Charon’s body shot through the air.
Charon glared at the slaughter with both eyes wide open, then regained his balance and grabbed the guillotine.
Crunch-!
Finally, his body passed over Slaughter, and the guillotine’s dark blue blade decapitated Slaughter.
Having achieved his goal, Charon fell to the floor in an awkward manner.
“Ugh.”
The spear that had pierced his shoulder tore through his flesh, and pain surged through him once again.
So, after rolling dozens of times, Charon was finally able to stop.
Charon, who didn’t even have the strength to get up, glared at the slaughter while lying on the ground.
Suddenly, Slaughter turned around and was glaring at Caron.
Is it because of my mood?
I could sense anger from this guy who had been so bland until now.
【… … The lowly slave is struggling until the very end. Guillotine, that damned sword should have been destroyed long ago.】
A dark blue line was drawn on the neck of the slaughter.
【You must die here.】
The moment Slaughter was about to swing his greatsword at Caron.
Whoosh whoosh-!
Ifrit trampled the body of the slaughter without mercy.
OK.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
A mushroom cloud rose with the explosion.
8.
Caron slowly opened his eyes.
I thought my whole body would be torn apart by the huge explosion, but nothing happened.
It seemed like Ifrit had deliberately limited the radius of its explosion.
-Your lifeline is really long.
Guillotine joked with Charon.
“I know.”
Charon chuckled and planted the guillotine on the floor. Using it as a cane, he slowly rose from his seat.
Only the deep crater that had formed before their eyes indicated that a huge explosion had occurred just moments ago.
I slowly approached the crater and looked inside.
There was no trace of the massacre, no sign of Ifrit.
It was just a deep pit filled with darkness.
“Ifrit was summoned back as a punishment for letting his magical powers run wild.”
Orion, who had come up behind Charon, spoke while supporting him.
“Does that mean you committed suicide?”
“… … It’s similar. I probably won’t be able to summon Ifrit for a while. Since this is the place, he must have drawn his magic from the spirit world.”
“I owe him.”
Orion shook his head firmly at those words.
“No, we owe you.”
“The elves are always in debt to me. They charge a lot of interest even on these loans. You’d better be prepared.”
“Be prepared.”
While Orion supported Charon, the rest of his companions staggered toward him from behind.
Charon smiled brightly at them.
“What the hell is that? There really are no beggars. If we continue like this, the punishment will go well.”
Leo raised his middle finger at Charon’s playful words.
“Are you saying that after seeing the way you look?”
“So what, I survived.”
All of my colleagues seemed to need treatment.
It was easier to find a place that was not okay than a place that was okay.
“Are you done, Caron?”
To Leon’s question, Caron slowly shook his head.
“Not yet.”
He turned his gaze again and looked at the sky.
The remnants of the massacre that had descended upon the earth seemed to have disappeared, but purple eyes still lingered in the sky.
Those eyes continue to inject endless murderous intent into the battlefield.
The elves’ frenzy has not yet ceased.
The power of slaughter still dominates this battlefield. The madness will not stop until those eyes are destroyed.
If there was an Ifrit, removing the eye wouldn’t have been that difficult.
But Caron was not discouraged.
Even though I lost the card called Ifrit, I still had one more card left.
“Caron. That’s… … .”
Leon pointed with his finger to the hill beyond the fortress.
There stood knights radiant with pure white light.
Caron looked at the knights and smiled faintly.
Fanatics of the Holy Kingdom.
They were crazy guys that I would normally avoid, but it was nice to see them in this situation.
“Ha, kids. You’re so fucking late.”
After a while, the bodies of the knights began to glow brilliantly.
“For the light!”
“For the light!”
“Drive out the evil from this land!”
“It’s a temple!”
The soldiers of the Holy Kingdom charged towards the fortress.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
