It unleashes murderous intent all at once and accelerates consciousness even further.

The world colored red becomes darker.

Steam formed on the exhaled breath.

It should have been like this from the beginning.

You’re worried about getting hurt, so you fight with your body protected. It’s not like me.

That’s how you struggle even against enemies you beat.

It was a foolish decision.

He grabbed the hilt of his sword and kicked the floor with all his might.

The ground is bursting into pieces. The body stretches forward.

Like a fired arrow, it was a rush without any thought of retreat.

“Keeeet?!”

The Locust, startled by the sudden change in momentum, threw out its spear.

Avoid the stabbing tip of a spear by just twisting your shoulder.

The black iron armor is torn apart, scattering metal fragments.

Then, he stabs his sword towards the approaching front leg.

The tip of the sword pierced the leg and went straight through.

His bodily fluids wet my face.

The green liquid filled with demonic energy had a bitter and unpleasant taste.

Like biting into a rotten fish.

The toe of the Locust stretched out without stopping and stabbed my right shoulder.

The half-broken shoulder armor was pierced by the spear blade.

Blood spurted from my shoulder.

Thanks to the armor blocking it once, it couldn’t reach the bones, but the flesh and muscles were deeply torn away.

Instead, this stopped one of its legs.

The other leg is aimed at my head.

My leg was half crushed after being caught by frost.

It looks like you don’t have the ability to learn, right?

The red frost grabbed that leg again.

The right hand that was holding Durandal also let go of the sword and grabbed the leg on the other side that pierced my shoulder.

I didn’t mean to tear it apart like I did before.

Because I thought of a more effective method.

The Locust held its spear blade high in reverse.

If you delay even a little, you will be pierced vertically from the skull.

Another guy’s greatsword was approaching his side.

“Haaa!”

He lets out a roar and kicks the guy holding the spear in the stomach.

He leaned back sharply and pulled his arms in with all his might.

With the pleasant sensation of tearing off flesh, the unbalanced body rolled backwards.

A great sword cuts through the air.

The calf that brushed against the blade of the spear left a burning sensation.

“Keee!”

The guy holding the spear screamed and retreated.

Dark bodily fluid was spraying from the place where both legs were pulled out.

As expected, it’s just as I thought.

The carapace itself is hard, but its joints are ultimately flesh.

Even though it could withstand a downward attack, I thought it wouldn’t be able to withstand the force from which it was pulled out!

I threw the leg in my left hand at the guy holding the great sword, and pulled out the Durandal that was stuck in the leg in my right hand.

My lungs were pounding for air, but there was no room to breathe.

The Locust holding the great sword roars furiously and slashes its two front legs in succession.

It looked like green hail was falling.

He frantically swings the long sword he holds with both hands.

Sparks keep popping out.

A body activated by the power of killing, a sword swing that relies on the strength of Durandal.

Every time it hits the leg, broken shell fragments fly out.

The moment I bounced it about nine times, this time the great sword was struck.

A blow that strikes vertically.

The force on the great sword was fierce, as if he had used all his strength.

Another guy’s spear approaches from the side.

If it had been a while ago, I would have backed off.

Gritting your teeth, you push your whole body to its limit.

My mind felt like it was going to burn.

Extend the right hand holding the sword toward the spear blade.

The blue brilliance was vivid as the blade was swung in a semicircle.

At the same time, the left arm with its claws raised towards the great sword.

A vortex that ranged from red to black wrapped around my arm.

Each other’s weapons collide with full force.

The entire cavity was shaken by the explosion of alcohol.

As always, my weapons did not betray me.

Like splitting bamboo, Durandal’s sword split the Locust’s spear vertically.

A spear blade split in half becomes stuck in the armor’s skirt.

Blood spurted from my scraped thigh.

At the same time, the frost and the great sword collide.

A shock that felt like every bone and joint was twisted, from the fingertips to the shoulder.

I widen my eyes, endure the excruciating pain, and stretch out my arms without hesitation.

Gauntlets stained with killing power dug into the great sword.

– Kwachaang!

The body of the great sword breaks like a piece of glass and spits out fragments.

Pieces of metal are embedded in the body.

Most of them were blocked by armor, but a few of them grazed my face.

The forehead and cheeks are torn long, leaving a burning pain.

There was a small piece of debris lodged in the area around my collarbone.

It wasn’t a very deep wound thanks to the fur on the armor.

Not yet.

as it is. One step forward…!

I grit my teeth and move on. The enemy was in front of us.

The left hand, stretched out like a hammer, pierced straight through the guy’s abdomen.

Black blood gushes out like a fountain.

“Keee!”

The feel of the intestines entangled with my fingertips was vivid.

I raised my fingers and stirred my stomach.

Until only shredded pieces remain inside.

“Kek, Kak! Scream!”

The Locust trembled and let out a bizarre scream.

He coughed out blood mixed with pieces of meat between his lips.

The curse of frost and the cold of the underworld penetrates into the person’s body and paralyzes it.

Even if you leave it alone, it won’t be long before it dies.

Now, there’s only one left…!

He rips out his left arm, which has ripped open his intestines, and lunges at the guy next to him, clutching the hilt of the sword with trembling hands.

A monster that has lost both its spear and its front legs.

Now, there will be no way to resist.

Sure enough, the guy urgently swung his right hand.

Bare fist.

What a crude rebellion.

I take a deep breath.

Finally, the supplied oxygen fills the lungs and inflates the chest.

The pain in my chest that felt like it was going to tear subsided.

Once again, the blue line dances.

A sword that can be wielded in a stable position without having to worry about counterattack.

A slash with sufficient force emits a threatening light.

I throw the guy’s right arm aside and cut off his wrist.

Raise the sword again and vertically cut the left fist.

Unlike Frost, its hands could not withstand Durandal’s sharpness.

The arm covered with the carapace was split in half.

“Kehiik! Great profit!”

The Locust screams from the pain in both arms.

The guy’s body stiffened for a moment.

It’s over.

He swings the Durandal towards his clearly exposed body.

Four slashes.

Divide the upper body diagonally.

Break your waist.

Catch the head that falls to the floor.

Finally, the lower body of the insect that has lost its upper body is cut vertically.

Blood, body fluids, and human and insect intestines mixed together poured out.

An injury that even a monster cannot withstand.

The guy was lying helpless.

—-

“Phew…Phew…Haaa…!”

I take a deep breath and calm down my body that was shocked by the excessive movement.

Although one of them was still alive, there seemed to be no need to fight any further.

The Locust who was swinging the great sword was already sitting on the ground helplessly, trembling.

The contents, which had turned into soup, were flowing out from between the gaping hole in my abdomen and my sagging jaw.

The great sword, cut in half, was stuck in the ground, as if it had no strength to hold the sword.

Usually, the ones that move like that are monsters… but it looks like it’ll be difficult to fight them again.

It seems that the frost curse is effective even on monsters.

I took off the gauntlets that were covered in bodily fluids.

The spirit that was heightened by excitement subsides and the body becomes limp.

My vision, which was previously stained red, is slowly returning to its original color.

“Keuuuu…”

The pain that I had no time to pay attention to during the battle came flooding back to me, and I gritted my teeth.

The torn and cut areas were burning, and my right shoulder felt like it was on fire.

The condition of my left arm was not very good.

There were black bruises here and there, and all of my joints, from my fingertips to my shoulders, were sore.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like any bones were broken or cracked, but the cold and hot pain hit me one after another, causing my arm to shake.

Damn it. The compatibility was so bad.

He spit out bloody spit and bandaged the wound.

Locust Centaur.

Just looking at it, it was a monster meant to deal with warriors.

If they were an archer or wizard of the same level as me, they would have easily defeated them.

It’s meaningless if you don’t touch even fifty limbs, not just eight.

As long as you have the firepower to destroy the shell, all you have to do is launch a long-range attack from afar.

However, for warriors with only two hands, guys with many attack methods like these guys were extremely difficult opponents.

In order for warriors to deal with these guys, it was necessary to fight with numerical superiority.

So that we can protect each other.

Let alone an advantage, the number on the other side was large, so it was difficult for me to win without risking injury.

I’m dying from pain.

Still, I was fortunate that the opponent of these guys was me.

The other three would have had trouble even breaking the shell.

Thanks to the tightly wrapped bandage, the bleeding gradually subsided.

Even so, with both arms like this, it would be difficult to fight satisfactorily.

Next time, I should just take Lana with me…

I sit down on the floor and catch my breath.

Although I was worried about my companions, I needed to get some rest now.

Because I used up quite a bit of stamina and energy.

When I get my strength back… I’ll have to go over there.

I raised my head and looked at the structure located beyond.

A castle wall that surrounds the entire rock wall. You won’t know what’s hidden inside unless you go there.

To be honest, I really don’t want to go there… it just looks like a boss room.

If the Locust guys aren’t the owners of this dungeon, then that means there’s a stronger guy out there… right?

Still, I couldn’t not go.

Unless you plan on living here until you starve to death.

Well, nothing is easy.
