episode_0044

In that brief moment, Sonya looked at my left hand {armed} with titanium slime and said with a big smile, as if she was convinced that I had a {magic tool}.

“Did you steal the {magic tool} while running away?”

＂As expected of that {magic tool}.. we will use it well.＂

Two adult women threateningly pointing knives at me.

To be honest, as someone who was in this situation, it was scary and could have been scary, but for some reason, the emotion I was feeling right now was closer to a simple feeling of “nothingness.” So peacefully.

The pain of cold and hunger I felt when I first hunted [Tagfog].

[Tululpo] The sense of relief I felt when I survived the threat of the group may have created this calmness.

The only thing that caught me off guard was that I had to deal with humans, not monsters… To be honest, I wasn’t happy with this situation.

Throbbing.. Throbbing..

I feel the symptoms of a seizure in my right eye again. All situations that make him feel more calm.

Whenever this symptom occurs, it gives an alien feeling as if all emotions have stopped. It’s an appropriate effect for my current situation, but… it’s not all that good.

“die!!!!”

As soon as Sonya finished speaking, the dagger loaded with red magic came right in front of my neck again and swung sharply.

Naturally, it was far below the speed of [Tagfog]’s mad dash.

Easy profit!

There was only the sharp sound of Sonya’s dagger cutting through the air.

‘The surroundings are dark and the ground is uneven.’

＇Considering only the conditions, it is not a major threat if used well.’

just as expected. With a simple movement, Sonya’s sword was shed. A female adventurer who had been blocking the retreat from behind also began to join in.

＇As expected, it is not faster than the pincer attack of the [Tululpo] group. ＇

‘It’s almost avoidable..’

There was nothing more inefficient than swinging a long sword in a dark forest, but even so, the female adventurer behind me was probably used to fighting in this kind of environment… It was more natural than I thought, and she recognized the escape route and displayed skilled swordsmanship to prevent me from running away. it started.

‘But you can’t keep avoiding it like this..’

‘Now I have to choose.’

At first, it was easy for me to dodge their skilled swords loaded with magic, but as time went by, their skill got better. Moreover, even for a country like this, it is judged impossible to avoid all attacks.

“Stop dying!!”

Let’s narrowly avoid Sonya’s dagger that attacks from the front like that… Without missing the opportunity, we deliberately guide the long sword of the female adventurer who attacks from behind, and grab the sharp stabbing long sword with our {armored} left hand and use titanium slime. With his grip strength and the strength he gained through considerable growth, he can instantly crush the thick steel in two.

Baddeuk!! Ting!!!

A destructive power that is hard to believe even when seen with the eyes.

＂No, that’s ridiculous..＂

＂There is no way a sword wrapped in magic could break this easily..＂

＂What is that magic tool?＂

I decided that nothing could break the enemy’s morale like instantly destroying their only means of attack, their weapons.

As a result, as I expected, their expressions were full of confusion, and I didn’t stop there. I picked up the broken upper part of the long sword with my left hand and aimed it straight at them.

Cheee…

At this moment, Sonya clearly sensed it.

This ominous magical power does not come from that magic tool.

And I was convinced by looking at Dahyin’s blackened right eye.

“Are you really a beast?”

At Sonya’s trembling voice… the female adventurer behind her began to ask what she meant.

“Sonya, come to your senses, this guy is human..”

“No… I’ve definitely seen it only once.”

＂The true appearance of a beastman who borrows the power of monsters..＂

Of course, I couldn’t understand Sonya’s question-filled words, but I knew that it wasn’t the time to discuss such matters, so I dropped the upper part of the long sword that had been broken in two and threatened her again.

Ting..!

When I saw the movement of a female adventurer urgently retreating with only half of her long sword left… the moment I turned my gaze away from Sonya to subdue the female adventurer.

＂You monster-like bitch!!＂

Sonya also did not miss the opportunity and raised the dagger wrapped in red magic high and slashed with all her might once again.

Phew..!!

＇What, what..＇

＇How did you avoid it?＇

But for some reason, the dagger that Sonya struck down with such force went deep into the ground and was firmly fixed.

just as expected. Sonya was able to predict the direction of the dagger she was swinging in advance through her discolored black eyes with just her foot movements, so she was able to dodge it without much movement by just a single inch.

‘With such a weak body, unbelievable speed..’

Even though she was in a situation of 2 to 1 and a significant weight difference, Dahyin’s movements were not only neat and clean, not suited to her body, but she was even showing skilled and sophisticated movements as if she had experienced many situations where she was at a disadvantage. .

Wow!!

After seeing the dagger stuck deep in the ground, I kicked her body in that split second and subdued her as if pushing her away.

And the female adventurer who was watching the scene from behind picked up the bag that had fallen to the ground and started running away, leaving Sonya behind.

＂If only I had this..!!＂

The moment when the anticipation of being able to run away began to surround her…

“Where are you going.?”

As I have already survived alone in a harsh forest with no idea where I am for a long time. My overall [ability] was far beyond the standard of a typical female knight.

This fight seemed to prove it.

just as expected. I quickly caught up with the female adventurer who was running away with all my might, shaking off everything, and tried to simply subdue her, but I was so appalled by the sight of myself like that… I waved my broken half long sword in the air.

Suddenly…

Without even realizing it… In the process of blocking the half-dagger, he grabbed the female adventurer’s wrist with his sharp left hand {armed} with titanium slime.

Teodeok… Teodeok…

Her severed left hand rolled down several times, leaving traces of blood spewing out in all directions…

just as expected. The female adventurer’s wrist was indeed showing a cleanly cut cross section.

At first, I thought he couldn’t feel the pain, but soon he started moaning and screaming in pain and began to struggle in pain.

“ah…”

I also didn’t do it intentionally, it was completely an accident.

Of course, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by this situation, but the ringing in my right eye, which had soon turned black, helped me regain my composure.

“I can’t escape..”

Did Sonya intuit Dahein’s crazy physical ability with her own eyes?

Not only did I realize that running away was meaningless, but I also regretted everything I had done due to his ruthless and threatening appearance, and I began to gradually fall into the fear of approaching death.

dump..

Sonya gave up her movement and sat down helplessly.

And as I look at Sonya, I slowly approach her and stare at her intently.

Skin as bright as pure white drawing paper.

Sparkling eyes that might remind you of a blue moon.

With long black hair and blood smeared on her face, she became an object of fear for Sonya.

Turf.. plod.. plod..

“Boo, please… just spare my life.”

“please..”

Sonya’s behavior was so shameless that it was even ugly to call her an adventurer.

But what can I do… I also never had the desire to harm people in the first place.

Turp.. plod.. swoosh..

So I picked up my bag from the ground and pulled one of the straps! After tearing it off, he strongly tied the severed wrist of the fallen female adventurer and attempted to stop the bleeding.

Wow!!

“I’m holding on tight.”

“If you don’t want to die…”

I thought I couldn’t come to my senses from the crazy pain, but I still had the will to live. The female adventurer began to vigorously stop the bleeding in her arm.

“I’m holding on so tightly.”

So, once again, I took out several pieces of frozen [Tagpog] meat from the bag, wrapped them in a blanket along with her severed right hand, kept them, and handed them to her.

“You can still put it on.”

“Go back to the village right away and get treatment first.”

I had no idea what the level of medical technology in this world was, but since I did my best within the limits of what I could do, I will now leave here.

＂Oh, and this..＂

Tap.. rattle..!

I searched through my bag again and carelessly threw the “Earth” attribute magic stone of [Tagpog] to Sonya. Then, as if nothing had happened, I picked up my luggage and started walking in the direction of the female adventurer who was the first to run away.

“then..”

Tread.. plod..

＂Huh, stop..!＂

Sonya, who created this ridiculous situation, urgently calls me out when she sees me trying to leave.

“Why are you saving me?”

“It could come back someday.” “Didn’t you learn something like that?”

It was clear that she had been begging for her life miserably just a moment ago, but when she received mercy whose meaning she did not know, she was also dumbfounded and asked.

Moreover, Sonya had found out that I was a man through our conversation just now, but at this moment, I could feel that it was not important to her whether I was a man or anything else.

“What is the reason?”

“What is the purpose of releasing us?”

Sonya was just curious.

Sonya, unable to understand the meaning of the unconditional favor given by the person they were trying to harm, throws away the magic stone of [Tagpog] with an expression full of disbelief and begins to ask questions.

Tuk!!

So, my eyes turn to Sonya, who is letting out a desperate cry.

‘Poor man…’

Through her sparkling eyes, I began to feel a little bit of all the days she had lived.

How can I live such a fierce and unreasonable life as if it were natural, and have gotten to the point where I can’t trust people?

Or is it that people in this world don’t have faith in each other in the first place?

It was natural that I didn’t know the clear criteria, but still, looking into her trembling brown eyes… I answered Sonya’s question.

“After all, I’m not afraid.”

“My choice now is definitely just an opportunity for you.”

“Those of you who have received such an opportunity can live a better life.”

The moment I was about to give Sonya the answer she wanted…

“ah..”

＂And from the beginning, that [Tagfog] magic stone…＂

“If you had asked, I would have just given it to you.”
