episode_0039

Once you come down a slope, there comes a time when you have to go back up.

Continue out of the cave along the path you came down towards the spring.

Perhaps because it was based on sacred water, or because it felt like a god, the goblin didn’t even see a single fingernail this time.

It feels like I used insect repellent spray.

Our target was Kangshin, but since this was top secret, we were given a request to clear out a goblin den on the surface. When you no longer see goblins, go out and block the entrance.

However, as soon as you leave the cave and go up to the broken house, Deshade speaks up.

“I guess you have friends out there.”

“What is that noise all of a sudden?”

“I see two humans outside. Aren’t you part of the group?”

‘You can see it?’

These are the words of God, who said earlier that he could see Gloria far away with his clairvoyance. It’s probably not a lie.

‘Who is it.’

The problem is that there is no guessing at all.

“Thistle. Are other adventurers nearby?”

“That… I don’t think so. The Adventurer’s Guild said they had left out all the requests in this area for us. I decided to take charge of this place, so other people wouldn’t have come.”

If you received this as a request involving Thistle and the Adventurer’s Guild has taken care of it, there is no reason to come this way unless you are passing by.

On the surface, it would be shameful to say that two parties were sent on this quest to exterminate goblins.

In that case, it could be said that they were adventurers who happened to be passing nearby, or people who secretly followed us.

“Deshade. Can you see what you are doing?”

“You hid quietly and gathered your magic power. They might have been preparing a congratulatory gun to surprise me when I got out. I am touched that they even made such preparations to celebrate my arrival.”

“Definitely not.”

I think over Deshade’s words and try to infer as much as I can about the situation outside.

‘Knights don’t collect magic power by circulating it within their bodies. The sound of gathering means that casting has been completed. ‘Are they wizards?’

Thanks to the detailed information obtained through the power of God’s power, it became easier to determine. The wizards are ready and waiting to attack us.

“What should I do? Brother?”

“Well, if they start a fight, we have to attack too.”

It means that there is enough intention to do something at the point of hiding. The moment they attack us, we have a reason to attack them too.

“Seeing that we didn’t come in at the time of the ceremony, it seems that the purpose was not to stop the ceremony.”

“They may not even know what we did inside. As of now, I don’t know the exact thing, so let’s focus on the purpose and ask.”

He reassures the anxious Thistle and checks the condition of the weapon.

‘Two wizards.’

They are already ready for a preemptive attack.

However, since the information that magic was prepared in advance is known, it is also an opportunity to take advantage of it.

‘It means a lot that the first magic that was prepared in advance for surprise attack is blocked.’

A magician would have been caught in an unexpected surprise attack, but if he could withstand the first surprise attack, there was a good chance of victory from then on.

Although it was a sudden attack, since the existence of the attackers was known, the formation was made using the information obtained as much as possible.

“For now, leave Deshade inside and take care of your eyes. Embrace the magic. After receiving it, immediately raise the shield upward to create a path.”

“I understand. Brother.”

“Thistle, please take the left. Let me take the right side.”

“Okay.”

Place the spare body to be resurrected inside and ask Deshade to do it.

“Please take good care of me.”

“Hmm. Why not just go out and ask what brought you here? Humans are beings who resolve conflicts through dialogue.”

“What kind of god says he likes humans but doesn’t know them like this? The fact that they are ready to attack means they have no intention of talking.”

All the people I see are selfish and petty, but I can’t figure out what it is that they like.

“I like people means I like their appearance. In my opinion, humans have the most beautiful body among all living creatures on earth.”

“““…”””

We were left speechless by God’s statement that he sides with humans simply because it is an extremely personal preference.

“The demons said the same thing, so were you also a lookist?”

“…I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you liked us for this reason…”

‘It’s really shocking.’

Thistle is shy and avoids looking at us. Now, seeing as he doesn’t stop me even when I speak harshly to God, it seems that even Thistle has reached its limits.

“I’m pretty cool too, aren’t I?”

However, unlike Thistle, who was embarrassed, and me, who was annoyed, Noan’s reaction was a bit different.

Rather, Noan boasts, puffing out his muscles, saying that his dream was to appear in front of God and have muscular muscles and a handsome beard.

But God’s reaction was cold.

“Oh, I’m sorry. It was all about the beauty of human women.”

A god who reveals only humans, especially women.

We couldn’t help but be shocked once more.

“Aren’t you God? Let’s be honest and tell everything.”

“I didn’t lie. Why should I be ashamed of lying? It is natural to call beautiful things beautiful.”

“…”

Thistle is covering his face with both hands. I guess I can no longer endure the disgusting sight of the god I serve.

“It’s a shame.”

Noan shows a look of disappointment on his face and prepares the tower shield.

“Yes. I have to do my job. It’s so ridiculous that I want it.”

“I’m really sorry. I think our God is different from what you think…”

“That wasn’t the same for Sisul, so it’s okay.”

While comforting Thistle, he holds Estherk in his hand, and in the other hand, summons magic power from the artifact to create a magic sword.

‘2.5 seconds.’

I measured the casting time exactly, and it was enough to be called an ‘instant’, but magic is faster than that.

Even though the magic sword is your secret weapon, it can be dangerous against wizards if you don’t take it out in advance.

In battle, every second is important. The fight is to take advantage of the one second I wasted and the enemy to prepare a dagger.

The moment I feel that all maintenance is complete, I pat Noan on the back.

“Let’s go!”

“Uuuu!”

War Cry.

With a loud roar, Noan jumps out and slams the tower shield into the ground.

Coo!

As soon as Thistle and I enter, ducking behind the tower shield and behind Noan’s thighs, we hear a huge noise.

“came out!”

“Shoot right away!”

Kwaaang-

Kwazijic-

The immense heat of the flame deflects from the shield and burns the remains of the collapsed house.

At the same time, four spears made of ice the size of a person’s forearm break through the shield and pierce Noan.

“Noan!”

‘Damn you guys.’

From the beginning, the plan went awry due to firepower beyond imagination. It seems like they also had their own thoughts.

One is an omnidirectional flame magic that burns the entire entrance itself. This was blocked by Noan’s tower shield.

However, the other person uses magic with high penetrating power to neutralize even that.

They were preparing to take different roles to make sure we were killed.

“Kkueueup…”

Holding back a moan, the eyes disappear from the presbyopic pupils.

The power of the magic was greater than expected, and Noan immediately became incapable of fighting.

The attack did not reach where Thistle and I were, but Noan was unlucky enough to get a spear stuck in his heart and die instantly.

Because of the stiffness after resurrection, it takes at least 5 minutes.

“I’ll go right away!”

It pops out like I said before with Thistle.

Because Noan was dying, the shield could not be raised in time. Time was delayed by about 3 seconds.

Jump out and check the condition.

Two wizards wearing black robes and masks and holding wands.

They don’t even like being told what kind of spell they are reciting, so they wear a mask unique to wizards to prevent that.

Looking at the masks flapping hard, the wizards were already reciting their spells with all their might.

Hwiik-

Kuduk-

He quickly grabs the ax and throws it, but the ax is suddenly blocked in midair.

‘what?’

There seemed to be nothing where the ax stopped, but gradually a hand holding the ax blade appeared and the overall appearance was revealed.

“It’s invisible magic!”

Thistle also quickly stabbed the claymore towards the wizard, but the sword stopped as it pierced something in the air, and soon the enemy’s appearance began to be revealed in that state.

Invisibility magic.

In front of the wizard, there is a human figure wearing full body armor similar to Deshade and holding a sword.

“It’s a battle doll. It looks like an invisibility spell has been placed on the doll. It can be loosened even with a small impact.”

It seems that the magic was canceled due to the shock of receiving the axe.

“How much?!”

“It is a magic that can be released even if you are pushed away.”

After hearing Thistle’s words, he picked up a handful of pebbles from the floor and threw them forward with all his might.

Soon, pebbles hit something in the air and fall, and two battle dolls other than the one revealed at first appear.

Thistle swung his claymore loudly and made invisible battle dolls jump back to avoid them, revealing his appearance.

In addition to the two wizards, there were several battle dolls.

Two bodies on Thistle side. Three bodies on my side.

It is a simple magic that can be solved just by moving it vigorously. However, because of this, one effective attack was blocked, and the odds of winning dropped significantly. The wizards are already chanting again.

‘If you were going to tell me, you should have told me in more detail.’

After hearing Deshade’s words, I thought there were only two wizards, but there was no way that wizards who were required to memorize spells would have come without any insurance.

‘My senses have become dull.’

When I was on the battlefield, I fought with great intelligence, but I may have become lazy.

It appears that the wizards’ second spell has been completed.

‘Do not panic. ‘I’ve seen it so much that any wizard would be sick of it.’

The final stage of magic was mostly direction.

‘Read the movements.’

I run out while concentrating on the shape of the hand of the guy in front of me.

The fingertips extend from the arm coming out from inside the robe.

As soon as the mouth stops, the palms are wide open.

According to experience, that is,

‘It’s an all-out attack.’

I see the wizard’s eyes moving around me.

‘As diagonally as possible!’

He takes out his magic sword and thrusts it forward, digging into the battle doll.

The moment the wizard’s hand clenches into a fist.

Black spike-like things appear in the air and shoot out from all directions except the floor.

Pabababak-

Cheer up!

Dozens of spikes are shot around me, but as they penetrate through the battle dolls, many hit them, so the damage is minimal.

‘Oh, there’s a hole in my body again.’

However, the damage is small, not non-existent.

I tried to block it as best as I could with my magic sword and escutcheon, but two spikes stuck in my side.

In addition, the black spikes had such a strong destructive power that they were small, and the esterk was shattered.

‘There’s still a long way to go to completely defeat it like Master.’

Now, he confronts the wizard with his only remaining weapon, the magic sword.
