180. Confusion (4)

Rather than a loud explosion, there was a dull thud.

Just like the sound I make when I train with Lauren.

Running to the accommodation.

Knock knock-

“Cain.”

“Huh?”

“Give it to me.”

Zion taps me on the shoulder, telling me to come down.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. And you have luggage and it’s a hassle, so let me go and go first.”

“Thank you.”

I put Zion down and handed him the luggage.

Zion, who had received the luggage from me, nodded and told me to go quickly, and I immediately drew my dagger.

“Running.”

Phew!!!

With a feeling of a cool breeze blowing around the soles of my feet, I kicked off the ground and ran.

Kwaaang!!!

Although it felt a little awkward to use the recently acquired protection, I gathered my senses and ran into the ruined entrance of the dorm.

I entered the main entrance of the first floor pub and restaurant faster than Claude, who was charging forward with all his might, and what I saw was this.

“Turn off…”

“Coolook..!!”

Five men were seen rolling around on the ground, wearing the armor worn by the knights of the sect.

The kitchen and tables are a mess, as if someone was causing a commotion in the restaurant.

“Ha…”

A murder that was a bit repulsive even in the hideout I raided with Juri.

But knowing what the intention of coming here was, I suddenly thought of Mion, Carmella, Tanya, and Roy, and my mind filled with anger.

Crack…!

I lived a life of trash in my previous life too.

There were times when I fought irresponsibly and times when I caused trouble and giggled.

I’ve lived too long a life just because I was betrayed by a woman.

Even after coming here, no, even after thinking about my past life, I thought I couldn’t get rid of that habit, but it’s different now.

“Dismantle.”

Kiiing-

The dagger in my hand trembles, perhaps due to the synergy with the swordsmanship protection.

And with a visible sword.

No, I see an easy path to dismantling the things lying before my eyes.

Spaang!!!

Chomp chomp chomp!!!

It feels more thrilling in your hands than cutting down a monster.

And blood flying everywhere.

Phew chemistry!!!!

“Dismantle.”

Cut off the limbs.

“Dismantle.”

Cut off the head with two terrifying eyes.

“Dismantle.”

The feel of the dagger digging between the joints of the armor feels better than I thought.

“Dismantle.”

“Bind!”

Wheeek-!

Kwaaak!!!

uh?

The moment I was wondering why my arm that was trying to cut them off didn’t move, I heard Zion’s voice.

“You idiot! Wake up!!”

“Zion?”

At the sound of her voice, I looked around.

A gruesome sight, not much different from when Jury slaughtered the men in the enemy organization’s hideout.

Taaak!!!

“Evil!”

Soon, I regained consciousness and stared blankly at Zion, feeling the bear’s paw firmly sticking into my scalp.

“It’s not over yet!”

“What is that…”

BANG!!!

– Shut up!!

– Stop it!!!

Soon, I woke up to a loud noise coming from the empty lot behind the inn.

“Thank you Zion.”

“Huh!”

Even though he has such an arrogant expression, in my eyes he’s just a cute cat.

Zion released the binding spell on my body, and I ran to the empty lot.

And what I saw before my eyes was.

It was a group of knights who looked to be in their twenties and were fighting.

“Uncle Frank! Ugh…recovery!!!”

Woof!!!

Sia uses healing power on Uncle Frank, who is kneeling with his hands covered in blood.

“Krrr..! Keep the formation. Red Hand Juri has joined the fight!!”

WHAT!!!

“Kkaaaak!!”

“Stick together, stick together! Don’t give me a square!!”

And here’s Juri trampling on the knights, even though she doesn’t appear to be using stealth.

“Ro..Roy…”

“Tanya.. Don’t worry, Juri is here too, and Cain will be here soon.”

“Ugh…”

Roy is embracing and comforting Tanya, who is shaking with anxiety behind the empty lot.

“Dude!”

“Okay!!”

Taang-!

Choaaaak!!!

“Kaaaah!!!”

“Khuh!! Claude’s skills have improved a bit?”

“It’s all thanks to Lauren’s special training… oh my!!!”

Chaeaaang!!!

Claude teams up with Hawk to fight the guys.

“Don’t run away and fight me proudly! Bad guys!!”

“Avoid that elf. His physical abilities are not ordinary!”

“Yes..!”

There were also guys who were holding Lauren in check and confronting her.

“Sia. Get out!”

“Where!!”

At that moment, I noticed a knight rushing towards Sia, who was treating Uncle Frank.

Uncle Frank, who was staggering as he stood up because his wound was so bad, ran to Sia with all his might, using his legs that still had the protection of a running horse left.

Eeeeek!!!

“Ka…Cain!!”

“Gasp..!”

Sia’s face brightened as she saw me running towards her, and the knight changed his stance, changed the direction he was running towards Sia, and stretched out his sword towards me.

I recognized the path of the sword that was coming at me and turned my head to the side to dodge the sword, and collided the blade of the sword with the blade of my dagger to deflect it away.

Kagagagagak-!! Chae-aeng!!!

“What…?!”

“Dismantle.”

Phew chemistry!!!

“Krrr!!!”

dump!!

And with the help of the subsequent dismantling protection, he cuts open the bastard’s Adam’s apple.

“Mr. Frank. Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

And Uncle Frank, who still nodded to me with a blank expression.

“Kaiin!!!”

Sia hanging on to me.

“Huh… The fight isn’t over yet. Step back towards Tanya.”

“Eung…! Don’t get hurt, Cain.”

“Of course.”

I woke up Uncle Frank and sent Sia towards Roy and Tanya.

There are still fourteen knights left.

Our power isn’t bad, but the longer we wait to fight while protecting Sia, Tanya, and Roy, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

Additional troops may rush in.

There are still sword wounds on Hawk and Claude’s clothes, but their bodies look fine, so it seems like Sia healed them.

It seemed like their level wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Even Mr. Hawk got injured.

“Ms. Jury!”

When I shout, everyone’s attention is drawn to me.

And Juri uses her stealth protection exquisitely to shake up the formation.

All the colleagues and people who had been fighting scattered all over the place gathered in one place.

In the vanguard are Lauren and Uncle Hawk with shields and a giant scepter, in the middle are Claude and Uncle Frank, and in the rear are me and Juri.

The knights also gathered their formation and stood together to confront us.

“That guy looks like a brain.”

“Really?”

“Oh, I couldn’t kill many because of that kid.”

Juri gestured to the front line of the knights.

The armor looked unusual and the aura it gave off was also ominous.

He grits his teeth and shouts at me.

“If you don’t want to look any worse than this, then just hand over the reserve saintess!”

“What the hell. Who the hell is a saint? You’re a knight who can’t even use divine powers. How can I believe what you guys say when you can’t even see who a saint is?”

“You bastard!!!”

“Look at that, he looks like shit and has no divine power. Man, when he looks like that, he just looks like some pimp from the black market.”

“Kaaaah!!”

“Chief, calm down!!”

You idiot, you’re going to have a seizure as soon as I scratch you gently.

Captain of the Paladins.

Probably not as high a level as the Black Market or the Guild Master.

Because of the strict doctrines of the church, I cannot actively explore.

Still, I heard that they are raising one or two promising players, so I guess they will be around level 6 or 7?

I’m a little nervous.

While the man who appeared to be an adjutant was calming down the captain, tension was rising between us who were standing face to face.

“They’re not the type of guys you can communicate with through words.”

“If you had said it out loud, I wouldn’t have caused a ruckus in the store. Now? Are you an idiot?”

“Ugh…! Everyone, give me a break…”

The moment the captain drew his sword and was about to give an order, magical power burst out from the door leading from the restaurant to the empty lot.

“Memorize – Reinforced Bind Multiple.”

Kwaaak!!!

Translucent vines suddenly appear in the air and bind the bodies of fourteen knights.

“What..what is it!!”

“Wizard?! Why…!”

The knights were confused, but they could not see the back where the magical power was bursting out because their entire body was bound.

We saw Zion walking out cutely step by step.

What she held in her hand was a pocket containing several potion bottles.

The potion was also a color I had never seen before.

A magical color that seems to contain starlight.

Phong-!

“Gulp-! Gulp-! Gulp!!!”

Zion, who had drunk three bottles of potions in a row, let out a cute slurp and opened his mouth.

“Lock On-”

And her golden eyes shone brightly.

“Enhanced Magic Missile Multi.”

Woohoo-!!

Fourteen magic missiles, each as big as a grown man’s forearm and twice as big as the magic missiles I was hit with last time, were created above Zion’s head.

My colleagues and I were impressed for a moment.

“Rock-on.”

“Enhanced Fireball Multiple.”

Hurrr!!!

This time, 14 fireballs the size of basketballs float above her head.

and.

“Rock-on.”

“Reinforced Ice Arrow Multi.”

Saaak-

Fourteen huge ice spears, so huge that they could be called small spears, were created and floated above Zion’s head.

“What the hell is going on right now…!”

“Ah, Goddess…!”

Even if it was just Bind Magic, there was no fool who couldn’t feel the heat and cold of Fireball and Ice Arrow.

Zion was very fast at using magic.

While we were marveling at the size of the Magic Missile, the rest of the spells were already finished casting.

Even the knights and their commanders began to show signs of shock and fear on their faces.

And Zion snapped his fingers.

Taak-!

Eeeek!!!

Dozens of projectiles floating above Zion’s head rush towards the paladins.

But how are you going to deal with the aftermath?

Just before the projectiles collide with the paladins.

“Barrier.”

Phew!!!!

Creates a barrier that surrounds only projectiles and paladins.

I’m about to burst into laughter at Zion’s incredible skills.

And finally, a word from Zion’s mouth.

“Fire.”

Wooo!!!!!!

The explosion only caused a dull sound and vibration as it was eaten by the barrier, and did not cause any damage to us at all. Only the leader of the paladins survived in a near-death state, while the rest of the paladins were reduced to blood without a trace.

“Ahem….ugh..!!”

Zion looked at us with an arrogant expression, then drank a lot of alcohol and trimmed his face again, turning red.
