‘That’s Charlotte, my sister!!!’

After experiencing the dimensional rift, Eugene Schneider’s ability to sense energy related to monsters has become considerably enhanced.

Therefore, upon entering Bahad, he sensed an unusual monster energy and headed towards the source of that energy.

That was how he came to witness the Owlbear, but the figure of the nun emitting divine power in front of the dump truck-sized Owlbear was even more familiar to Eugene Schneider.

It was his beloved eldest sister, Charlotte Dessell Oubléan.

‘That owl bastard!!!!!’

The dump truck-sized Owlbear, with its sharp claws fully extended, was attacking Charlotte.

Eugene Schneider, witnessing this, went berserk.

—Whoosh!!

Shuaaaaaaaa…!

Eugene Schneider, with eyes gone wild, immediately drew his greatsword, and a blue aura of swordsmanship began to emanate fiercely from the greatsword’s blue blade and his body.

—Chuaaaaaaaat!!!

Then, as if erasing space, Eugene Schneider charged towards the Owlbear and Charlotte with tremendous speed.

‘That hand!’

The Owlbear’s right forepaw swinging towards the head of his beloved sister Charlotte,

‘Get out of the way, you son of a bitch!!!!’

—Buaaaaaaaak!!!

Eugene Schneider’s greatsword was swung vertically at the Owlbear’s massive forepaw.

—Puaaaaaaaak!!!

And that powerful single strike severed the Owlbear’s thick forepaw in one blow.

‘I will protect my sister Charlotte!!’

The Owlbear’s forepaw disappeared, and beyond the creature’s crimson blood vessels, Charlotte glimpsed a familiar greatsword.

At the same time, a voice from beyond her memories echoed in Charlotte’s mind,

None other than her younger brother Eugene’s ambitious childhood pledge.

‘Eugene, my younger brother Eugene Schneider!’

Soon, the image of young, delicate Eugene Schneider was replaced by the profile of adult Eugene Schneider, holding the greatsword roughly with murderous eyes.

She had merely regarded it as the innocent words of a beloved younger brother,

But Eugene Schneider, who had actually kept and fulfilled that promise, appeared before her, before Charlotte Dessell Oubléan, in her moment of crisis.

“Sister Charlotte! Please move further back!”

At that moment, Eugene Schneider requested Charlotte to move backward.

It was for him to confront the Owlbear himself.

“Ah! O-okay, I understand, Eugene!”

Charlotte, whose eyes had been filled with emotion and admiration, quickly regained her composure and responded to her younger brother’s resolute appearance, which exuded coolness.

—Sasaaaaaak!

—Cheocheocheok!

Charlotte moved backward, and in the space where she had been standing, Swordsman Eugene Schneider stood with his greatsword extended forward.

—Kudangtangtang!!

The Owlbear, affected by the damage from having its right arm cut off, fell backward as if rolling over,

—Rolling rolling rolling! Whoosh!

The creature, true to its nature as a monster with a round body, regained its posture by rolling over despite having fallen.

“Krrrrrrrr…!!!”

Drip drip…! Drip drip…!

“Its regenerative ability is fierce as expected.”

The Owlbear did not immediately rush at Eugene but crouched down, looking wary.

Meanwhile, the situation with the Owlbear’s severed right forepaw was remarkable.

Although regeneration was not possible, the Owlbear’s healing ability was considerable, and the spurting blood flow was quickly subsiding.

Looking at this, Eugene Schneider clicked his tongue.

“Are you okay, Sister?”

Nevertheless, having caught his breath,

Eugene asked Charlotte behind him, still aiming his greatsword at the Owlbear.

“I’m fine, Eugene. Just a little tired. But how did you get here?”

Charlotte also took a stance.

However, her current stance was not a battle stance but a support stance,

And she asked about the details of Eugene Schneider’s sudden appearance.

“Hmm, it’s a bit complicated to explain, Sister. I’ll tell you in detail after dealing with this situation.”

Looking around! Looking around!

In response to Charlotte’s question, Eugene Schneider looked around quite meticulously.

“As expected…!”

Then, as if he had discovered something, he stared at the side with the large rock.

“Bishop Sister Charlotte! There, there!!”

Before they knew it, the other sisters who had gathered behind Bishop Sister Charlotte also pointed to the huge rock that Eugene had fixed his gaze on.

“Karrrrrrrrrr…!!”

“There was another Owlbear!!”

Another Owlbear had appeared.

‘The energy was larger than necessary, so I wondered, and it was as I expected.’

The energy quality that Eugene sensed upon entering Bahad was not top-notch.

However, regardless of that, the size of the energy was so great that he thought there might be several of them gathered or two or more quite strong ones.

And Eugene’s analysis was correct. It was none other than a couple Owlbears.

“Another one of those brutal guys has appeared. What should we do, Bishop Sister Charlotte?”

The sisters were greatly dismayed.

Even with just one Owlbear, even though one of its forepaws had been severed, they were struggling so much, but another one had appeared.

“Don’t worry, Sisters.”

However, Eugene Schneider seemed confident.

“Sisters? Calm down and cast the transmutation circle buff on that greatswordsman. Then we will be able to defeat even two Owlbears sufficiently.”

Charlotte seemed to know well what was behind Eugene Schneider’s confidence.

‘A high-level greatswordsman is the Owlbear’s counter class. Eugene can do it.’

If a priest is a class disadvantageous to Owlbears, then a greatswordsman is rather a counter class.

The strengths of the Owlbear are its shock-absorbing outer skin, fierce regenerative ability, and recovery ability, but

Those are useless against a greatswordsman of expert level or higher who possesses sharpness, weight, and even size all at once.

“Yes, Bishop Sister Charlotte!”

Sasaak! Sasaasaak!

At Charlotte’s request, the nine sisters positioned themselves in a specific pattern behind Charlotte.

If a Seeker-level bishop sister is at the head, they can cast a transmutation circle buff,

The transmutation circle buff is the buff with the longest-lasting effect.

Suaaaaaaaa…! Sueeeeeeee…!

First, divine power was activated from the nine sisters,

Paseueueueueueue…!

That divine power was transmitted to Charlotte.

Flash!

[Transmutation Circle Divine Power buff]

Then, Charlotte flashed with white light in her eyes and recited the transmutation circle divine power buff incantation filled with divine power.

Shuaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!

The transmutation circle divine power buff of the sisters was cast,

Soon, a subtle white divine power flame was created on Eugene’s body.

“—Kuaaaaaaaa!!” “—Uaaaaaaaack!!”

The two Owlbears felt a great sense of crisis at the rapidly increasing state of Eugene’s mana energy and raised their upper bodies to enlarge themselves.

‘I’ll finish you off, you owl meat lumps!’

—Paaaaaaat!!!

Eugene Schneider, who received the transmutation circle divine power buff, charged towards the two Owlbears, who had become extremely aggressive, holding the greatsword roughly, which was mixed with his unique Swordsman mana aura and the buffed divine power energy.

“—Kuaaaaaaaaack!!!” “—Uaaaaaaaack!!”

—Chuaaaaaaaat!!!

The two Owlbears, with their large and flexible bodies, launched a simultaneous attack,

It was a collaborative attack that would be quite difficult for priests with somewhat low agility.

‘If you come at me like that, it’s a thank you!’

—Seuaaaaaaaak!!!

However, things are different for a professional combat class.

Moreover, it is even more so if the weapon is a huge greatsword.

Eugene immediately began moving diagonally with amazing mana footwork to capture the blind spot of the Owlbear creatures, and,

—Seugeueueueueueok!!!

Using the rotational force of the diagonal movement, he slashed the thick leg of the Owlbear right next to him with the heavy blade of the greatsword.

‘Tsk!’

Eugene Schneider slightly twitched his eyebrows,

He had cut off the forepaw in one blow, but he could not cut off the hind leg in one blow even with the transmutation circle buff.

This is because the hind legs, which often support the Owlbear’s body entirely, have thicker and stronger bones.

“—Keuaaaaaaaack!”

—Kudang!!

However, Eugene’s greatsword, which had cut in about halfway, was enough to disrupt the creature’s balance, causing the first Owlbear right next to Eugene to fall forward.

‘Oh, shit.’

At that moment, a curse word escaped Eugene’s lips.

The fact that the first Owlbear fell forward meant that it had fallen and was lying on Eugene’s greatsword.

Eugene Schneider, realizing that his greatsword had been momentarily rendered useless, had a moment of regret.

“—Kuaaaaaaaaack!!!”

—Buaaaaaaaak!!!

Eugene Schneider became defenseless.

The second Owlbear pounced on him and swung its forepaw.

‘I’ll just take it!’

—Kuaaaaaaaaang!!!

But wasn’t Eugene Schneider receiving an amazing buff,

Especially, the divine power transmutation circle buff that the priest class casts is optimized for toughness.

Therefore, Eugene openly took the heavy forepaw attack of the second Owlbear.

‘Now you’ll have to pay the price, right?’

His head rang quite a bit, but it was bearable,

And in that instant, Eugene pulled out his greatsword from the leg of the first Owlbear.

—Puuuuuuuuuuk!!!

Soon, the tip of Eugene’s greatsword pointed vertically as if soaring, and

He thrust it straight into the neck of the second Owlbear.

—Chuaaaaaaak!!

Furthermore, Eugene’s huge greatsword pierced through the nape of the second Owlbear.

“O-amazing, that greatswordsman!! Such destructive power even with such small movements!!”

“Amazing!!!”

The sisters who watched the scene were in awe, impressed, and went wild.

‘Ah…! That is, is that our Eugene’s combat? The appearance of mercenary warrior Eugene Schneider??’

Charlotte was the same.

Although she was maintaining the dignity of a bishop sister on the outside to maintain the buff posture,

Her eyes widened to the extreme at the fierce combat appearance of her younger brother Eugene Schneider, which she encountered for the first time.

‘So wild, yet strong and without hesitation! He was the child who followed me around calling my name!’

Eugene Schneider had grown larger, but Charlotte only saw the look in young Eugene’s eyes even in that Eugene.

But the look in Eugene Schneider’s eyes that was unfolding now,

It was the look of a male and the look of a warrior.

And the warrior Eugene Schneider’s movements continued.

—Pushushushushut!!

—Suuuuuuuuk!!

“I’ll send you to your friend!”

The second Owlbear’s crimson blood vessels gushed out.

Eugene took that wretchedness on his whole body and pulled the greatsword from the creature’s neck.

He was going to finish off even the first Owlbear, which had its hind leg half cut off and was falling forward.

—Puaaaaaaaak!!

“—Kuaeeeeeeek!!”

It was Eugene’s greatsword that fell down as if striking with a guillotine, and

By that greatsword blade, the first Owlbear’s neck was also tragically cut off.

“……”

Eugene Schneider looked at the creature’s corpse with a murderous look,

Swoosh…!

Soon, he turned his gaze towards Charlotte.

Smile…!

After that, he smiled covered in blood.

Perhaps it was the satisfaction and relief of protecting his older sister Charlotte with his own strength.

‘Oh my…! Oh my, what should I do! Oh my, what should I do!’

Thump, thump, thump, thump,

The warm, murderous smile of her younger brother, covered in the blood of the Owlbear,

Charlotte’s inner feelings, who had been releasing her self-imposed restraints and enjoying frenzied evenings imagining the child before her eyes for several days, began to beat fervently.
