Episode 91 28. You’ve grown a lot.

One.

“Gyaaaaaaah-!”

“Everyone, run away from the village! The monsters are… … . Keuuuuuuck!”

Yusla, a pioneer village located in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Keas.

Now that the sun was high in the sky, a terrible massacre was taking place here.

Kwauuuuu-!

The village was being invaded by monsters.

Blood spurted everywhere and screams echoed.

Kirak, a vigilante from Yusla Village, screamed as he watched all the devastation.

“Eww!”

Kwajijijik.

A monster that was devouring the corpse of a village neighbor had its head smashed by the axe he struck down.

My neighbor, Mrs. Dorothy, who used to give me bread with a smile until this morning.

She died with her eyes open.

Kirak closed her eyes with his lips tightly shut. Then he got up again and looked around.

“why!”

This village of Yusla was a precious refuge created by the survivors of the war who gathered together one by one.

A precious place created by those who were abandoned without even receiving help from the kingdom in order to survive.

It wasn’t a wealthy town, but it was still a nice town.

For four years, this place was Kirak’s only refuge.

People who never gave up hope to continue living.

People who tried to overcome suffering together and create a future.

All of the precious people were dying from the sudden invasion of monsters.

“You little shits!”

Kirak let out a furious roar and charged at the other monsters.

These are people who warmly welcomed me even though I was a deserter.

Such people were dying for no reason.

Isn’t this a terrible fate for those who tried to find hope in the midst of misfortune?

Kirak cursed the nameless god and swung his axe fiercely.

Kwajik-!

He swings his axe in anger.

I gave up on the idea of ​​living here a long time ago.

Instead, take at least one monster with you. If you can reduce their numbers even a little, you might be able to buy some time for your village neighbors to escape.

Kwaaaaang-!

A loud explosion rang out from afar, and Kirak turned his gaze to look there.

The man and woman were swinging their swords nonstop, cutting down the monsters.

Kirak realized that they were the knights who had arrived here last night.

The anonymous knights politely asked to stay for only one night.

-Can you stay with me for just one night? I’ll pay you a fair price.

He already knew that they were not knights of this place, the Kingdom of Keas.

The knights of the Kingdom of Keas do not treat the commoners with respect. Instead, they use force to take things forcibly, like thieves, and kill those who refuse.

To the people of the kingdom, knights were more than thieves.

But I didn’t see any such thing in them.

Kirak remembered that they had been checking on the patients here the previous night.

Honorable and noble beings.

Yes, a knight is suitable for such people.

“Gentlemen!”

Kirak ran towards them, cutting down the monsters.

Several monsters sunk their teeth into his body, but he knocked them off by hitting their heads with his fists.

In the distance, knights were seen isolated by numerous monsters.

With their skills, they could have easily escaped, but they didn’t.

He just stands there and cuts down the monsters that rush in.

“Sir, sir!”

Kirak screamed again.

Then, the male knight of the two knights met Kirak’s eyes.

“What are you doing! Run away now!”

“How shameless!”

How can you run away from those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for someone you just met?

But the male knight mercilessly cut off the monster’s head and shouted again.

“At least one more person must live! Run away!”

“but…….”

“Then you’re going to die here! We’re going to survive on our own, so run away right now! How many times do I have to tell you to understand! If you have the strength to run like this! Even if you pick up that kid and run!”

Kirak’s eyes caught sight of a boy crouching with his back to the wall.

A boy crying in front of his parents’ dead bodies.

It was Coman, the son of the Smith couple who were in charge of the tanning in the village.

If you leave it like that, it’s obvious that you’ll get bitten by monsters.

Kirak bit his lip and shouted at the knight.

“I would like to know the knights’ names!”

“Why do you want to know my name when I might lose it all?”

“You must remember! You will remember until you die, until you die!”

The male knight replied with a sly grin.

“My name is Leo. My last name is a secret, so just know that! So take the kid and run away right now!”

At those words, Kirak put down his axe and ran straight towards the child.

But then, a monster rushed at him with its teeth bared.

When Kirak tried to strike the monster with his fist.

Crunch-!

Suddenly, a blue-light sword flew from the knight and split the monster in two.

Kirak felt a burning pain as the monster’s blood touched his skin, but he didn’t care much and just held the child in his arms.

And then I started running out of town with all my might.

As I ran, I was struck by the gruesome sight of the village.

Corpses strewn everywhere, residents fleeing, vigilantes fighting back and being bitten by monsters.

If there is a hell, this is it.

How long did you run like that?

Kirak, who had reached the top of the hill overlooking the village, placed the child he was holding on the ground.

“Father, mother… … .”

The child was still crying and seemed half-mad.

Kirak said, firmly grabbing the child’s shoulder.

“Comang! Come to your senses!”

At Kirak’s words, the child looked at Kirak with unfocused eyes.

“Sir. My parents… … .”

“Listen carefully, Coman. If you follow this road, you’ll reach the village of Laia. Go to the hunter there named Jin! Got it?”

Instead of comforting you, tell me what to do.

Now was not the time to comfort her.

Because it was time to teach you how to survive.

Coman answered in a trembling voice.

“… … Sir.”

“The village is where I should be. You have to live so that your parents can rest in peace! Stop whining and get moving right now!”

Some of the surviving residents will be running away for their lives.

If the villagers are wiped out, the hungry monsters will naturally chase after them.

Kirak pushed the child’s back. Then he immediately turned around and ran forward.

I was thinking that I had to save at least one more person.

That’s when he turned around.

“Ahh.”

A scream echoed from behind.

It was Coman’s scream.

Kirak turned his head with his eyes wide open. Had the monster already followed him here?

“nose…….”

Kirak, who was about to call the child’s name, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

A child who fell to the floor after hitting something.

The child was carefully lifted up by a large man.

“I’m sorry, little one! I was careless!”

A loud voice rang out, and the man patted the child’s head.

There were two men standing there.

One is a large man, the other is a young man wearing black leather armor.

A young man slowly approached Kirak.

“Are you okay?”

At those words, Kirak nodded his head without realizing it and answered.

“… … Please help me.”

This is the first time I’ve seen this man in my life.

But Kirak saw a small hope in him.

I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that that young man might be the one to save the village.

So I prayed earnestly.

Please help me.

The young man nodded slowly at Kirak’s request.

“It’s a monster.”

“I don’t know where they came from… … but the monsters are killing our residents. And… … the two knights are over there too. They are fighting to protect the residents… … .”

At those words, the young man asked Kirak in a low voice.

“Do you know the name of that knight?”

“… …Leo. My name is Leo.”

Was it a name the young man knew?

The young man nodded with a faint smile.

“Finally found it. Okay. Oh, what’s your name?”

Kirak answered that question again as if possessed.

“Kirak… … is here.”

“Mr. Kirak, please wait here with the child. Oh, and.”

Srrrrrr.

The young man took out a dark blue sword from its scabbard and bowed his head toward Kirak as he spoke.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come earlier.”

At those words, Kirak shook his head vigorously and shed tears.

“No. Please… … save the remaining people. I will give you anything. So please… … .”

At those words, the young man nodded with a bitter smile.

“Yes, don’t worry. Utula? Let’s go.”

Then Utula raised his huge axe and roared.

“I’ve been waiting for this! To save humanity from evil monsters! This is an honorable fight!”

The golden-haired young man, Charon, ran towards the village with Utula.

2.

Leo frowned as he looked at the monsters rushing in from all directions.

‘not good.’

Is the source close?

The types of monsters have become more lethal.

Although the majority were comprised of Hellhounds, which were classified as the lowest-level monsters, higher-level monsters were appearing here and there.

If my physical condition had been normal, it wouldn’t have been a big problem.

However, after fighting nonstop for 14 days, fatigue built up all over my body.

And the fatigue wasn’t limited to the physical body.

‘If this continues, my magic core will be depleted.’

Because I haven’t been able to properly cultivate my magical power, my magical power has dropped significantly.

It’s probably not much different for Leon.

‘Can you win?’

Leo weighed the odds.

The number of monsters keeps increasing.

And the higher-level entities mixed among those demons.

I took all those factors into account and made a quick decision, and the results were as follows:

‘… … I can’t win.’

Everything has already reached its limit.

I felt like throwing down my sword and lying down right now.

He looked straight behind him.

Even the retreat route that had been secured earlier was already occupied by various monsters.

“Sister. The exit is blocked.”

“I have eyes too.”

“… … What should I do?”

“Let’s buy a little more time and work together to find a way out. We also have to be prepared to let our cores go berserk.”

“Even if I let it run wild, I don’t think the magical power will be enough.”

“Just die here.”

I had a light exchange of opinions with Leon.

Since the situation had already reached this point, there was no other way than to break through it by force.

“Ha, shit. It would have been different if I could have just one day off!”

The original plan was to rest in the village and recover my body and magic power.

But all those plans went awry when those monsters barged in.

Leo swung his sword in annoyance.

If we’re not careful, this place could become a graveyard.

‘If we just buy some time for the residents to evacuate, and then squeeze out the remaining magic power and break through… … .’

Leo, who was recalling Leon’s words, couldn’t help but frown soon.

Kuuuuung-!

In the distance, a huge sound of footsteps echoed and trees began to fall.

And after a while, a huge monster appeared.

A giant monster with the head of a cow.

“… … Minotaur?”

It was the Minotaur, one of the higher-level monsters.

The moment he saw that guy, a curse came out of Leon’s mouth while he was fighting fiercely.

“Ha… … ×foot.”

A monster with power incomparable to that of ordinary monsters.

Even though my physical condition was normal, a dangerous monster appeared in the worst possible situation.

Woohoooooooooo-!

The Minotaur started to charge, roaring.

Every time he took a step, the buildings in the village would collapse, and even other monsters would get crushed to death by his giant feet.

“Leo! You know that kid’s only weakness is his neck, right? I’ll get his attention, so aim for his neck!”

But Leo sighed and replied to those words.

“sister.”

“why!”

“I’ll draw attention to myself, so you can just run away. Honestly, I feel like I’ve been fooled. Don’t you think at least one person should live?”

Leo drew out the last of his remaining magic power.

Woohoo.

His sword, Sylphid, was imbued with blue magic.

‘This is fucking bullshit, really.’

I never thought I’d die in a place like this.

In his current state, he couldn’t even guarantee that he would be able to kill the Minotaur.

but.

“We have to do something.”

I had no intention of sitting still and dying obediently.

“Look at this little cow head.”

Leo focused his magic power into his core as he watched the Minotaur charging towards him fiercely.

It’s a last resort, but if I can’t kill him anyway, I’ll meet my end here.

In that case, it would be better to throw a tantrum and die.

Woof woof woof-!

Magic power flowed back through Leo’s magic passage, and Leo’s sea began to shake violently.

A skill that could easily turn you into a loser.

But Leo didn’t hesitate and drove the core roughly.

Boom! Boom!

Before he knew it, the Minotaur was right in front of him, and Leo shouted as he readjusted his sword.

“You must-.”

That was when.

Taaaaaaaah!

‘……uh?’

He suddenly felt a shock on the back of his head. Then, his core, which was about to go wild, quickly calmed down.

A situation that is completely incomprehensible.

The impact on the back of my head caused all the fatigue that had built up to come rushing back in an instant.

My mind was gradually becoming hazy.

At that moment, a familiar voice rang in his ear.

“Wow, if I had been a little later, you would have become a complete wreck, hyung. Who would have let your core run wild without my permission? I’ll see you when you’re done. I guess I’ll have to make you do it again.”

Before he knew it, a young man was standing in front of Leo.

Long stature.

Blonde hair with a glossy sheen.

And the dark blue sword held in his right hand.

Leo saw that and muttered with a snicker.

“… … The adults really sent a crazy guy.”

Caron also replied with a snicker at those words.

“I’ll take care of it now, so just rest.”

“… … Kid… … . If you hurry, will it hurt? You should have come earlier… … .”

Leo’s body fell apart.

He fell on top of the monsters’ corpses and soon lost consciousness.

Caron glanced at the sight and smiled happily.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

And he knows how to sacrifice for others.

Charon turned his head and looked at the giant cow’s head. Then he said with a smirk.

“I will slaughter you alive.”

Even monsters feel pain.

So I will give you the worst pain you can feel.

“Look forward.”

Charon charged at the Minotaur.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
