Nellis was taken aback by the sight of the Kobold Warrior, who was larger than the Kobold and holding a sword in one hand.
‘Why is the Kobold Warrior appearing again!?’
I certainly heard from Scarlett and Aria that Kalt exterminated the Kobold Warriors yesterday.
However, Kobold Warriors are definitely a higher entity.
It was a monster that was expected to not appear so easily once it had already been defeated, but Nellis ended up encountering it.
I don’t think we’ll lose against Kobold Warriors.
For now, Aria’s blessing effect still remains.
However, since it was clear that it was stronger than the kobold, Nellis was anxious inside.
‘Oh, no! No need to be scared! I am now a much more developed person who has learned Mr. Kalt’s teachings! Something like a Kobold Warrior! ‘Say, you’re no match for me!’
“Nellis.”
“Ah, yes! Mr. Kalt!”
‘Is it possible that Mr. Kalt is dealing with him instead? Well, in addition to the kobold warriors, there are three kobolds right now… .’
“I’ll take charge of the three kobolds. You take down the kobold warrior by yourself.”
Even though she mustered up courage, Nellis’s expectations, which she thought would be as she pleased when she heard Kalt’s call, were completely wrong.
“Hey, I’ll do my best!”
Let’s do it like this.
Nellis somehow suppressed her anxiety and rushed towards the Kobold Warrior.
If it were an existing kobold, he would have been cut by the sword before even noticing Nellis’s sprint, but the Kobold Warrior, who had more sensitive senses, noticed Nellis’ surprise attack.
“Haaaa!”
Nellis approached with enthusiasm and slashed with his sword.
Kaang!
-Krrr!
However, the surprise attack failed as the Kobold Warrior blocked Nellis’ sword with his persimmon.
-Crr!
The three goblins nearby also noticed Nellis’ presence and tried to attack her from the side.
Suddenly!
When Nellis charged, Kalt’s sword, which followed closely behind, cut off the arm of the kobold that was trying to hit Nellis next to her.
Kalt then spun around behind the Kobold Warrior and quickly moved to the other side.
With its spinning power, Kalt’s sword cut off the head of the kobold that was trying to attack Nellis with a slow beat.
‘Huh?!’
From Nellis’s perspective, she saw up close how the kobolds who were attacking her from both sides had their arms cut off and their throats cut in an instant.
I knew Kalt was great, but it was my first time seeing him destroy monsters so quickly.
Although surprised, Nellis immediately focused her attention on the Kobold Warrior.
‘Mr. Kalt helped me focus on the Kobold Warrior! ‘You have to work hard and get results!’
“Aaaah!”
By infusing more magical energy into her body, Nellis strengthened her body even more.
Kigig! The kobold’s sword is pushed out with the sound of metal scraping against metal.
-Cruk!
As a higher-level entity, Kobold Warriors have some intelligence.
Instead of forcing swords against an opponent who was weaker, the Kobold Warrior widened the distance behind him so that he could attack.
After gaining a sufficient distance, the Kobold Warrior swung his sword, aiming for Nellis’ neck.
Nellis quickly ducked and dodged the sword.
“Yaaah!”
While crouching down, Nellis leaped forward like a spring and thrust her sword towards the heart of the Kobold Warrior.
Fuuuk!
Nellis’ sword pierced the Kobold Warrior’s chest and pierced his heart.
‘Do it, you did it!’
Feeling the sensation of a hand piercing her heart, Nellis was relieved that she had caught the Kobold Warrior.
It was right then.
-Craaaat!
The Kobold Warrior, who had not yet died even though his heart was pierced, made his last struggle.
“Huh? Shut up!”
The kobold warrior’s fist, which was not holding a sword, struck Nellis’ forearm and sent her flying.
“”Nellis!””
Scarlett and Aria approached Nellis, calling out her name as she flew away.
“Ah… pah! Aooot…!”
Although it flew far away, Nellis quickly got up and quickly rubbed the area where she had been hit with her opposite hand.
Scarlett, who noticed that he wasn’t seriously injured, stopped and sighed.
“Haaa… you idiot! You shouldn’t let down your guard! Why worry!”
“You did too much! I flew away! Ah, Aria! Recover! Please help me recover!”
“Yes! Lord, please give me a healing hand!”
Aria immediately used the Blessing of Recovery.
“Ah~ I feel healing~.”
“Nellis, are you okay?”
“Ah, ka, Mr. Kalt!”
As Kalt approached, Nellis stiffened.
‘Oh, what should I do! I tried to show my performance, but I completely ruined it at the end!’
Feeling embarrassed and nervous, Nellis looked at Kalt cautiously.
“S-sorry.”
I apologized right away.
“No, it’s okay as long as you’re safe. Next time, don’t let down your guard until you completely lose your breath, okay?”
“yes….”
“But that stab was really good. Nellis, you’ll get stronger in no time.”
“Kah, Mr. Kalt…!”
For Nellis, who always lacked praise because it was a sloth party, Kalt’s praise was like a sweet rain that always moistened her heart.
“Yes! Next time, I will never let down my guard and kill you for sure!”
“Yes, that mindset is important. Now, sword.”
As Kalt approached Nellis, he handed her Nellis’ sword, which he had removed from the Kobold Warrior’s chest.
“Thank you. Thank you, Aria, too.”
Nellis, whose wounds were healed thanks to Aria’s blessing, stood up and spoke vigorously.
“Let’s go again! There will still be a lot of kobolds left!”
“okay.”
“Wow, I’m full of energy.”
“Hehe, that’s Nellis’s strength.”
◈
Around 4 p.m.
Nellis’ party stopped exterminating the kobolds and returned to the village.
On his way back, Kalt thought about two things.
One is a kobold.
The other is about Nellis.
No matter how I think about it, there are too many kobolds.
In Kalt’s experience, this was the first time he had been in an area with so many kobolds.
In addition, yesterday and today, I encountered a Kobold Warrior, a high-level entity.
This is quite unusual.
‘Isn’t this the highest level object nearby?’
Top-level object.
If we take goblins as an example, this would be the Goblin King.
The top-level entity has the ability to increase the number of lower-level entity monsters through powerful magic just by existing in common.
Although it is only a lower-level entity, the top-level entity is often called a living dungeon because of its ability to create monsters like a dungeon.
However, because it has such powerful abilities, it is extremely rare for a top entity to appear.
‘I decided to investigate this further… .’
Kalt moved on to his next thought.
Nellis’s reaction today.
In particular, Kalt organized his thoughts, recalling the reaction when confronting the Kobold Warrior and the phenomenon that occurred when he was attacked by the Kobold Warrior’s last struggle.
‘Nellis’ problem has to do with the strength of her opponent.’
When he sparred with himself, and when he faced the Kobold Warrior.
Nellis tried to hide it, but her anxiety was evident.
‘Let’s go right in after dinner.’
Kalt, who had his own guess about Nellis’s problem, planned to bring up Nellis’ problem and provide mental counseling within the day.
But here a problem arose.
After returning to the inn, Kalt consulted with Aria and heard a brief progress report from Scarlett, then ate dinner and spoke to Nellis.
“Nellis, I have something to ask you.”
“Huh? What is it, Mr. Kalt!”
“This is my guess. Could it be that you, Nellis….”
Nellis, who flinched and trembled greatly before Kalt could finish speaking, rolled her eyes here and there and said,
“Ah! Mr. Kalt! I’m a little tired today! I want to rest quickly! Rest is very important! I’m sorry, but I’ll hear from you tomorrow! Then… good night~!”
Nellis, who was moving her arms around and saying only what she wanted to say quickly, moved quickly and entered her room.
Scarlett and Aria said after seeing Nellis like that.
“It got away.”
“Haha… I guess Nellis isn’t mentally ready yet.”
“It looks like Nellis is having personal problems too?”
“”ah.””
Scarlett and Aria froze.
“Well, doesn’t everyone have problems?”
“Khalt? I’m sure Nellis will speak for herself. Can you wait?”
“Aria! I was going to cover you up, but….”
“Because it’s so obvious now.”
“Hmm.”
Even if Scarlett thought about it, she couldn’t refute Nellis’s reaction just now, as well as their own response.
That’s why Scarlett couldn’t really refute Aria’s words.
After hearing the two’s reactions, Kalt gave up the idea of deliberately approaching Nellis today.
‘Well, even if I don’t ask today, like Aria said, I’ll tell you in about 2-3 days.’
Among Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria, it was Nellis who responded favorably to her first.
Since we could still stay in the village for two more weeks, Kalt had no intention of rushing forward.
After finishing the meal, Nellis and the others waited for him.
‘I should try it with Nadia a little earlier today.’
Since he first came into contact with Nadia, Kalt has been with her every day.
By mixing her body, Nadia managed to learn the techniques taught by Kalt.
Starting with the basic fella technique, the body shakes itself in the riding position. Yesterday, I also taught you about kissing while lying on your side.
‘What more should I tell you today…? .’
When you’re thinking like that.
Knock knock, Kalt’s door came knocking.
‘If anyone is looking for my room right now… ‘I guess it’s Nellis.’
Kalt felt a little disappointed, thinking that rather than meeting Nadia early, it would be a little later.
“come in.”
“Mr. Kalt….”
“huh?”
And for Kalt, something unexpected happened.
The person who opened the door and came in was not Nellis.
“Now, do you have a moment?”
It was Runia, who was blushing and nervous.
