‘What kind of shield is this??’

The situation where they were able to defend against the attacks of the three Sophists due to the suddenly created shield,

Eugene’s eyes widened at the sight of the shield.

‘Vivian?’

The name that flashed through Eugene’s mind afterward was Vivian.

The reason being the place where the Sophists, whose attacks were blocked in front of him, began to turn their gaze,

was none other than Vivian behind Eugene.

[The shield will disappear in 5 seconds, Eugene! So, take that opportunity to reorganize and then attack!]

At that moment, an even more amazing thing happened.

Eugene heard telepathy from Vivian in his head.

[What is this? Huh? I can do telepathy too?????]

[Don’t panic, Eugene. The effect of the two-way telepathy magic stone I possess is taking place.]

Moreover, it was not one-way telepathy but two-way telepathy.

[Before building the merchant group, I lived under an alchemist wizard who was an acquaintance for a considerable amount of time. It is a magic stone made with the alchemic magic I learned from him. The shield spread out in front of Eugene is also a shield made with an alchemic magic stone.]

Because it is telepathy, the speed at which intentions are transmitted is faster than general language delivery.

Based on that characteristic, Vivian explained the situation to Eugene.

After her father Alexis died, Vivian lived as a wreck, rolling deep into the abyss for several years.

Then, at some point, Vivian thought that she had to get back up,

There was a vague reason that she wanted to live, but the biggest thing was that she realized that if she ended like this, she would not be able to restore her father’s honor.

What she used as a driving force to recover after having that thought was none other than the alchemic magic she had learned as a child.

The Awakened Vivian had a talent for alchemic magic.

However, from a certain point, she had a vague desire to follow in her father’s footsteps and gave it up.

Then, before she was in her late teens, she devoted herself to alchemic magic for about 3 years and cleared her wrecked life.

And that ability was of great help to the merchant group’s activities, so she has been honing her skills from time to time until now.

‘Come to think of it. There seems to have been a book in Vivian’s room that felt like something I only saw from Elizabeth?’

Eugene Schneider’s mind, who heard Vivian’s explanation, also raced quickly.

Perhaps because she had traveled abroad a lot, Vivian’s room had many exotic items.

As a result, things that were simply overlooked are now belatedly coming to mind.

The books that were on her desk, I remember there was a magic book with a unique cover.

[But in fact, I couldn’t use it so efficiently. Apart from the technology, my magic power level is only at the runner level. However, it was possible to use it because Eugene is an expert Awakened, so I could achieve mana amplification through a medium.]

Shield magic and telepathy magic are quite high-dimensional magic.

In particular, it is far from the major of alchemist magicians.

However, since the alchemic magic field has made remarkable progress throughout the empire from a certain point, many skill utilization methods through magic stones have been developed.

However, injecting sufficient magic power accordingly is a separate matter,

Vivian’s magic power at the runner level would take a long time.

Eugene Schneider’s expert Awakened specialty filled that lacking part.

Just like the Crimson-haired Shaman Goblin used the Chieftain Goblin as a totem to use debuff magic,

Vivian has been magic connecting through Eugene’s expert body with good magic sensitivity.

[And fortunately, Eugene-nim has less aversion to me than I thought…]

In addition, Eugene’s heart was not closed to Vivian.

Connecting and medium magic can basically be connected to someone whose emotions or mind are in agreement.

However, Vivian was in such a hurry that she tried it without considering such things.

As a result, medium magic was achieved perfectly right away, so Vivian, who had been hoping for a sincere exchange of hearts with Eugene, is secretly pleased.

[Anyway, thank you, I got through the crisis thanks to you.]

Cheoeoeok!

Leaving behind Vivian, who was so happy, Eugene

took an attack stance.

Just before the shield disappeared, that is, Eugene’s counterattack timing was created.

Seueueueueueueung…!

As Vivian said, after 5 seconds, the shield disappeared, and

“Try to take my sword!”

Buaaaaaaaaaak!!

Eugene swung the greatsword full of sword energy horizontally at the three Sophists who were within his striking distance.

Kkagang! Chaenggang! Ppugagak!

It was not an ordinary sword, but a greatsword of a Sword Expert,

Moreover, all three Sophists’ body balance was broken because their attacks were blocked unexpectedly.

As a result, a situation was created where they were barely able to desperately block it in an almost defenseless state, let alone avoid it.

As a result, all the swords of the three Sophists who received Eugene Schneider’s greatsword full of sword energy were broken.

Puuuuk! Pueok! Puuuuuuuk!

“—Keoeuk!” “—Keueuk!” “—Kkeuaaaak!”

Eugene never missed that situation that happened in the blink of an eye, and

He immediately pierced and cut all three Sophists through subsequent attacks.

‘If I just finish off the White-haired Sword Expert!’

Then Eugene Schneider turned his head towards the side where Ricardo had stepped back,

Because he clearly heard Ricardo’s butt hitting the ground as he stumbled backwards.

“Are you looking for me, Black-haired Great Swordsman!”

However, Ricardo’s voice was heard not from the ground where it was judged that he would be sprawled, but from the other side.

‘Damn it…’

Eugene frowned slightly, recognizing the direction of the sound.

“Put the sword down, or you will see blood pouring from this merchant group leader’s neck.”

It was none other than the side where Vivian was.

“Oh, you’re holding out? Should I just slash her right away? Should I make this woman’s head fly with her roll-bun hair and roll around on the floor?”

“No! You must not put it down, Eugene-nim!”

Ricardo, who quickly grasped that the situation was becoming unfavorable, chose to take Vivian hostage, rather than taking medicine or attempting a cooperative attack with his colleagues.

Ricardo threatened Eugene with eyes full of murderous intent, as if he had forgotten the dignity of a Sword Expert.

Then Vivian resisted with an unwavering voice.

“…..”

Eugene Schneider stared at the scene expressionlessly with mysterious eyes.

“This is quite a sight. Still, aren’t you a Sophist? I thought that the Sophists still had that spirit when you challenged me to a one-on-one fight, but you’re taking a hostage? Even though you’re a Sword Expert?”

While fighting Ricardo one-on-one, Eugene recalled the image of his father, Ulysses Schneider, educating and teaching Sophist members in the past.

Apart from the fact that the Sophists have been hopelessly corrupted now, 12 years since then,

The honest swordsmanship that Ulysses taught at the time was being maintained as it was.

Ricardo, who is even a Sword Expert, is holding a hostage in such a state,

Eugene felt bitterness and dismay as he looked at that pathetic and outrageous appearance.

“Shut up! Spirit my ass! Does spirit feed me??? If you have great spirit, will your severed head reattach?? First survive and then become stronger, this is the spirit of the Sophists now, you mixed-race demon bastard!”

Ricardo also seemed to be quite scratched by Eugene’s words.

He also knows that Eugene in front of him is the hidden son of Ulysses, the first Jedi.

In other words, Ricardo is feeling why Eugene is making such a criticism, so

He rationalized himself with bloodshot eyes.

“Look at yourself! You also survived and are standing here like this, right? What did you do when your father died so miserably and the whole world came out to curse him! You hid and saved your life, didn’t you?? You are standing here like this because you survived like that!!!!”

Then he brought up Ulysses, a topic that Eugene would be very sensitive to.

After all, if they cannot rationalize themselves, Ricardo and others are making their last struggles by comforting themselves that you are no different by tearing down others.

“Anyway, put down the sword. Otherwise, this woman will die. We know well enough how important this quest is to your Red Fox Mercenary group.”

Then he again demanded that Eugene disarm.

“No! This person can’t kill me anyway! Because he knows that he will be killed by Eugene-nim if he does!”

“Shut up, you bitch!”

Jjaak!

“Kyaat!”

Then Vivian appealed in a firm tone that he should not listen to those words.

And Vivian’s analysis is accurate.

In the first place, if Ricardo thought that he could handle Eugene Schneider well enough, he would not have taken Vivian hostage,

After crossing swords, he was clearly pushed back and even injured, so Ricardo had no answer.

Because he was so perfectly hit on the mark, Ricardo slapped Vivian in the cheek to shut her mouth.

“Yeah, you fucking bitch, what this toxic woman is saying isn’t exactly wrong, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way, right? Killing isn’t the only answer, is it? Can’t I just mangle her to the point where she doesn’t die? Huh? Isn’t that right? Should I make this woman disabled?”

Seueueueuk…!

Ricardo, who slapped Vivian’s cheek, held a knife to her cheek.

It was as if he was going to slash her if Eugene continued not to listen to him.

Cheongkeodeong!

Then, at that moment, the sound of metal was heard.

“Okay, I put the sword down. Let her go.”

Eugene eventually put down the sword.

“Shut up and kick the greatsword away! Far away!“

Teoeoeok!

Chwaraaaang!

However, Ricardo, who had already experienced Eugene’s erratic appearance, was not satisfied with that alone and gave additional instructions.

As a result, Eugene kicked the greatsword that he had dropped next to him and sent it far away.

—Pyuaaaaaak!!! Pyuuuuk!

At that moment, a very small but sharp-feeling sound of wind cutting occurred.

—Puuuuk!! Puuuk!!

After that, it penetrated someone’s flesh.

“Eugene-ssi!!”

It was none other than Eugene’s flesh.

The moment Eugene kicked his greatsword far away to the side, Ricardo took out and threw hidden weapons, and

The two hidden weapons he threw were accurately embedded in both of Eugene’s thighs.

Vivian was astonished and surprised by this.

Jureureureuk…! Jeureureureuk…!

It was a bizarrely shaped hidden weapon.

Rapid bleeding occurred in Eugene’s thighs where the hidden weapons were embedded.

“Heh heh heh, be careful. If you try to pull it out carelessly or move, even greater bleeding may occur.”

It was a hidden weapon that caused abnormal bleeding.

Ricardo raised the corners of his lips as if he was excited to see Eugene’s bleeding as the hidden weapon worked properly.

Heelkkeum…!

Eugene Schneider silently glances at his injured area,

“Now, round 2!”

Hwiik!

“Kkyaaaa!”

Ggwadangg Tangtang!

As Eugene’s bleeding worsened and blood flowed to the floor, Ricardo threw Vivian away.

The reason Ricardo took Vivian hostage and threw hidden weapons at Eugene,

Was that after confirming that Eugene Schneider’s skills were beyond expectations, he decided that he had to injure him and then finish him off himself.

So, while Eugene was slicing up his three colleagues, he quickly moved towards Vivian, using them as bait.
