Knock knock knock

“Hmm?”

While walking down the street, I heard the sound of a horse kicking the ground and felt puzzled.

Are words even used in this world?

In this world of knights, the speed of horses would be of little use.

Even with the knowledge I had absorbed from Baron Basquel’s knight, horses were simply a means of transportation for merchants and livestock for farmers.

I turned my head back and looked at the galloping horse.

“Uh…”

Was it the blood of a monster?

It was a little different from the horse I remembered. It was large, had a mane on its legs and hooves, and its tail was long enough to reach the floor, shining red and beautiful.

These horses were small dots at first, but as they ran along the road at the speed of the wind, they grew larger and had a rider on their backs.

The knight in the lead, wearing a helmet with red horsehair, looked at me closely and shouted.

“I’m sleeping! That man is Solomon!”

“You came to visit me?”

I just killed a priest and a knight to save the witch,

He killed about 20 soldiers and a knight guarding the border of the territory and freed hundreds of serfs.

And before fighting the vampire Maguel, he just killed dozens of underworld members on the side of the road…

“I see, is it because of Maguel?”

I guess the guy’s backside isn’t normal.

Obviously, the bishop also protected him.

“Lucy, you… No, you’ll be safest next to me.”

This time I decided to fight the knight using only magic.

Before I knew it, the five riders had arrived right in front of me.

Perhaps because it is an unusual horse, the speed is very fast.

I memorized the [Reinforcement, Armor] spell and created a summoned beast to strengthen my body for me using [Steel, Giant].

“Be careful! There is information that he is an Auror and has mastered magic to a high level!”

The lead knight took charge of the steel golem, and the remaining four knights went around the golem and ran straight towards me.

[Collapse, shock]

A shock wave spread across my entire front, collapsing anyone it touched.

“”Anti-horse armor!””

Armor that emits white light along with the knight’s starting words.

The knights’ armor was a type of sacred device.

Knights breaking through shock waves.

However, my magic is already at a level that is effective even for B-class, and even if my divine power is the highest level of magical power, I cannot just ignore it.

The armor’s light becomes dull, the range narrows, and the horse the knight was riding is swept away by the shock wave of collapse.

“Heeheeheehee!”

The horse’s skin is cracked and the red flesh is visible.

Blood gushes out like a fountain from the cracked area, hair falls out like a fly, the horse’s hoof that hit the ground comes off, and the leg bone is dislocated in an instant.

Disintegration was a more effective spell against creatures than destruction.

Horses falling and some knights falling from their horses.

However, it does not seem like some of the knights suffered much damage from standing up immediately.

As the horse was about to fall, a knight, who spurred the horse’s back to avoid falling, rushed towards me like a flash. This knight had abnormally thick legs and had blades attached to his greaves.

[Piercing, Arrow]

A knight trying to strike away my magic with his sword.

Like the armor, the thing emitting black and white light was a sacred weapon. For some reason, the weapon was small and compact for a knight.

visor! Snap!

A knight’s sword that blocks a piercing arrow but breaks.

The knight threw away his sword and tried to kick with his thick legs.

yes-

“Hmph…”

The blade of my leg is blocked by the protective shield of my reinforced armor.

After that, three other knights come running towards me.

A knight whose auras stretch like a whip, a knight whose right hand is abnormally enlarged, and a knight whose auras burn like flames.

One of them was targeting Luisi, who was standing behind me, but I decided to show my full strength.

[Collapse, shock] 3 shots in succession.

A simultaneous spell that is possible because it is not a voice uttered physically, but a spiritual speech spoken by a demonic image located in the soul.

As the shock waves of the collapse overlapped and merged, an even more destructive wave was formed.

I felt that the electrifying wave was beyond B grade.

Even the armor that had withstood the shockwave before could not withstand it this time.

“The level of mass-produced supplies is obvious.”

The armor was dismantled and fluttered around, and even the knights’ bodies collapsed into flesh.

Sigh!

The four knights were covered in blood and sprung to the ground, and in the distance, the knight with the ponytail helmet who was somehow holding on to the steel golem was astonished.

“No way!”

Kang!

The knight was caught off guard and was hit by a steel golem and flew right in front of me.

I grabbed the knight with telekinesis, restrained him, and dragged him in front of me.

“Why are you chasing us?”

This knight’s level was that of an intermediate Auror Expedition. Other knights were also low-level Expeditors, and in the Barony Territory, even low-level players could hear the strongest sounds.

When I saw five knights like that, plus they were armed with things other than ordinary horses and sacred weapons, there was no doubt that a great force was chasing me.

“Wait a minute, calm down. Killing me won’t change anything. If you save me, I will pay you.”

“What can you do?

“I am the younger brother of Baron Kadiya and the grandson of Count Urtla, so I can give you a ransom. Killing me means extermination by the Knights of Seongik…”

The currency of this world is something I don’t need.

Moreover, judging from the fact that they were tracking me, I was already wanted.

I ignored his words and used the barbell to take control of his mind.

Because it’s somewhere between B-class and C-class, it put a strain on the filter, but it’s bearable.

I closed my eyes for a moment and browsed his memories.

“Hmm? The royal family and the religious order?”

As a result of reading the knight’s memories, I found out that they belonged to a religious order.

And the Palos royal family, the rulers of this kingdom, cooperated in this matter and issued a wanted order to me and even ordered Count Lohman to strengthen the border guard.

“They came out just because of one vampire? No… there is another reason.”

These five knights are not even from the main team.

They were just elite knights from the nearest parish, serving as an advance force and a means to stop me.

A separate punitive force was being formed to catch me.

For a moment, I thought about why they wanted to catch me.

‘Did you notice that I was a human from another world?’

But I didn’t leave any evidence of that.

There was no problem when checking that Luisi was connected by a barbell.

“Hmm…”

The way to beat this chase was simple.

Just go back to Earth.

Most of my goals have already been resolved.

The aurors have already merged and magic has reached its peak.

It’s a pity about the magic path.

However, the reason I practice magic is because it is the easiest way to build up magical power.

Demonic nature, the achievement of the magic path, was not particularly useful. Because, just like the reason why I can’t use my sense of energy right now, in other worlds, there is no other dimension called Demon Realm, so I won’t be able to use it.

The lack of magical power could be replenished later by waiting on Earth for a year and returning.

but…

“If I just go back from here, Luisi will be caught and killed.”

I didn’t like the idea of throwing it away.

It might be the bond built up through physical contact, the feeling of a beloved toy being broken, a meaningless promise to grant a wish, or the thought of a parent who died after being left unattended overseas.

That’s enough of a reason.

“The punitive force is not even close to us yet. Besides, if you build up a little more magic power, it’s a 3-word spell. How can you resist this?”

I thought I had to quickly go beyond Lohman territory and go to the lawless area.

First, I cast the Absorbing Star Great Law on the horse-haired helmeted knight who had taken control of his mind.

“Quaaah!”

When the creature’s life force and auror were completely pulled out, it died trembling without even being able to follow the command to stop all actions injected with a barbell.

I felt full as I replaced his aura with blood magic energy.

“So much vitality! Don’t just kill the four knights earlier.”

Then, he would be filled with blood magic energy and his physical abilities would be average to Class A.

I put my regrets aside and cast a magic trick I made up on the spot on Luisi.

[fast, movement]

[Stamina, recovery]

“Solomon, is this…?”

“It’s a magic that assists movement. There is a tracking team to catch us, so we will go straight to the lawless area without delay. Can you do it?”

“No problem thanks to Solomon’s magic!”

Luisi was surprised to feel her overflowing stamina and faster movements.

Luisi and I drove for a day and night until we arrived at the entrance to Lohman’s estate.

And when I saw the border of the territory, I could not help but sigh.

“The vigilance is too severe…”

Even though it was still just the inside of the kingdom and the border of the territory, the security was tight.

Beyond the natural boundary where the forest ends and the field begins, a fence was spread out, and soldiers were frequently moving around.

In addition, there were sacred orbs that gave off white energy all over the field, and priests were managing them, and even when a simple bird passed by, they seemed to be detecting the surroundings by giving them a look.

The knight in charge of the soldiers, Reinhawk, was a famous person that I remembered from Babel, and his blue eyes were renowned for seeing through magical power.

“There is no answer to go around here.”

Turn right and you will see a very large lake, and if you turn left you will see a mountain range.

This Lohman territory is the only border area of the Kingdom of Palos that borders the lawless area and was also a fortress that blocked the lawless area.

Hundreds of soldiers, dozens of priests, and a few knights.

Can we beat them head on?

That knight named Reinhawk was a high-ranking Expedition, and there was even a bishop, the head of the priests comparable to him.

I wondered how much the border could have been strengthened, but it became too strong.

Even if we force them to annihilate them, a large army will come from inside the territory.

“What is it really? Why are you targeting me like this?”

Was Maguel the only son of some vampire king?

There is some reason…

Back then, when we were so stranded and stranded.

Someone spoke to me.
