I swallowed dry saliva while holding the reins.

Most of them were rotten sick people who would be cut to pieces with a single blow, but since there were thousands of them, the pressure was considerable.

Soldiers who are neither tired nor fearful.

Once you get stuck, it may be impossible to break through.

No matter how much you swing your sword, an attack will come from somewhere in the world, and if you allow yourself to get injured so many times, one day you will run out of strength and collapse.

No, let’s not have any ominous thoughts. You have to believe in yourself.

If it were a fight against a small number of strong people, no expert would be able to follow me when it comes to dealing with a large number of weak people.

“Wait a minute, I’ll get ready too.”

As I was about to run at any moment, Asha got off the bike and urgently stopped me.

Now that I think about it, what should I do with this guy?

It would be difficult to break through with just the jetpack on your back and the lance mounted on your bike… ?

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay here for now? It looks a lot more dangerous than expected.”

“Don’t worry. Because there is a way.”

Asha began tearing apart parts of the bike with skillful hands.

Was it something that was supposed to be disassembled from the beginning?

The frames that made up the outside of the bike were separated one by one.

Asha began adding the frames to her jetpack and other parts of her body, as if she were wearing armor.

After a while, there was only a bike with a very basic structure and a knight wearing heavy full armor standing in front of me.

He grew as tall as a human, and his size also increased significantly, making him look heavier than knights wearing heavy armor.

… It has a body type that is closer to a monster than a human.

“How do you feel?”

“It looks sturdy, but… If it continues like that, won’t you become too dull?”

“This is not just armor. Since it is a direct transplant of the Lightwagen engine and drivetrain, it is actually stronger and faster!”

I guess you could say it’s something like a reinforced exoskeleton.

It’s strange that even with this level of technological prowess, we’re still a weak country compared to the empire.

Finally, Asha, who had the lance mounted next to her armor, lowered the visor of her helmet.

A heavy engine sound echoes from the rear of the armor.

The roaring sound was several times stronger than before, thanks to the engine built into the jetpack itself and the engine of the bike.

Asha’s body rose low, smoke billowing out of the exhaust pipes behind both shoulders.

“Then shall we go? I look forward to seeing the skills of the beast-human predator that I have only heard about!”

“Anyway. Even if I fall behind, I don’t know!”

Throw down the reins and run.

The blue afterglow flowing from the sword body drew a long line in the air.

If I had known in advance that there would be a mounted charge, I would have brought a spear.

Because the window is much more useful for hitting from the front.

The sound of a heavy engine follows from behind.

Yes, there is a window. A smile appeared on my lips.

The appearance of the monsters began to get closer in an instant.

So much so that we could clearly see a half-rotten face looking back at us.

“Asha! Break through!”

“Boost Cha-ji!”

Asha shouted and accelerated rapidly.

Fierce flames are spewing out from behind, and the weight is several times greater than before.

The red lance was trapped in the monster’s army.

—-

Asha’s charge pierced through three monsters at the same time.

The monsters that were skewered like skewers were pushed back several meters, and those around them, caught up in the force, were scattered in all directions.

“Guhuh… .”

A rotten patient who had been hit from the front groaned as he looked down at his gaping abdomen.

A cavalry spear as thick as a human forearm. A huge, heated awl was supporting its stomach.

If it were a person, it would not be surprising if they died instantly.

Even if he didn’t die right away, he would have died soon after screaming from the pain of his internal organs being roasted.

However, he was already dead.

A penetrating wound to the abdomen with no significant hindrance to movement, inflicted by a weapon that did not even possess sexual power.

In reality, no damage was done.

The rotten man raised the spear he held in his right hand.

As if he was going to chop off Asha’s head with a spear blade.

Asha twisted her wrist.

A spiral blade protruded from the surface of the lance and began to rotate violently. Like a drill.

Pieces of meat are fried, and the monster’s body is literally torn apart.

No matter how half-immortal the Commander-in-Chief was, since his body was split in two, his upper body had no choice but to fall to the floor.

The tip of his spear missed pointlessly.

If I left it alone, it would regenerate right away, but unfortunately for him, the sword in my right hand was Durandal.

A true silver sword that cuts down the dead, spirits, and even magical power.

The sword body struck down penetrates the monster’s body.

The sword was swung as if the wrist was bent and twisted to the side.

Its entire body was torn off as if it had been bitten by a huge beast.

That’s enough to kill me.

Take the spear from him and grab the middle of the pole with your left hand.

If you keep charging like this, you’ll get blocked like Asha… All you have to do is use it to create a gap.

I tilted my body to the side. Low enough to just graze the ground.

It supports its body with only the horse’s reins held tightly and one foot on the saddle.

My vision is shaking violently, and if I lose my balance even just a little, I will fall headfirst into the floor.

But I was instinctively convinced. As long as the horse is alive, I will never fall off my horse.

Pull your left arm behind your shoulder and extend it straight out.

“Haaa!”

A javelin fired at a level below the knee while hanging from the side of a horse.

Flashes of light extending like bullets pierce through the rotten sick patients one after another.

The monsters with their ankles torn off stumbled.

It would regenerate anyway, but it was enough to create a gap in their formation.

I get back on the horse and rush into the crowd.

The rotten smell and acrid Maggi have now become familiar to me like a hometown friend. The whole place was full of half-rotten monsters.

This was the beginning.

—-

A long sword with a soft blue light draws an endless arc.

He drives his horse and runs through the monsters, cutting down only those close enough to touch the blade.

A single blow was enough to deal with rotten sick people.

There were some who were made from the corpses of soldiers and some were wearing armor… Steel or less at best.

Every time you swing the sword, sparks fly and it tears apart like a piece of paper.

When I looked back, I saw a lot of monsters struggling, cut diagonally here and there by long blood vessels.

There were too many people who were killed by a single blow.

“Gaaaa!”

I made eye contact with the attacking monster.

A horse skull about 2 meters tall with blue eyes.

A whip of internal organs hanging like tentacles on either side of the shoulders.

Mixed remains.

It was a monster that Damian had a hard time dealing with during the VR lecture.

And I’m not Damien.

I rode towards him.

Perhaps because it had been covered in blood mixed with demonic energy several times, the horse’s condition was not very good.

The running speed had clearly slowed down, and blood foam was flowing from the corner of the mouth as it was breathing heavily.

Two spears were stuck in his blackened side, and blood was flowing out.

From the looks of it, it won’t last long.

Still, it seems like about half of the siege has been broken through… Did it last longer than expected?

Thank you for your hard work.

Put both feet on the horse’s back and jump with spurs.

Blood and flesh exploding from underfoot. A mournful howling sound.

Leaving the dead horse behind, he launched himself like an arrow aimed at the mixed remains.

A whip of internal organs being swung this way.

It wasn’t difficult to react.

Cut off the tentacle flying to the right with a long sword, and grab and pull out the tentacle flying to the left.

The monster lost both arms in an instant and stumbled.

The subsequent slash.

Durandal’s sword body fell like a guillotine and split the mixed remains vertically.

Over my shoulder, I hear the sound of a horse rolling across the floor with its entire waist missing.

Goodbye.

You were a good horse, even though we only had a short time together.

It would be a much better end for you to die from a single blow, rather than being hacked to pieces by a monster or dying painfully from being poisoned by demon energy.

“Are you okay, Hashal?!”

Asha must have seen my words slipping away and urgently flew towards me.

He must have killed so many monsters that his entire armor was stained black.

“Not yet. What about your side?”

“For me, the propellant is slowly… .”

Asha pointed towards her back.

Clearly, the jetpack’s flame was noticeably weaker than before.

“Then… From now on, I have to run myself.”

It cuts into pieces the rotten sick people who can’t wait and rush in.

Every time Durandal flashes, his torn body is scattered.

Although stamina consumption will increase, it will be easier to deal with enemies this way.

Because it was difficult to swing the sword freely while riding a horse.

good. Halfway ahead.

At this rate, it seemed like we could somehow break through.

—-

Keep going without stopping even for a moment.

I left my back to Asha and just ran, cutting down all the enemies in front of me.

A wave of monsters rushes in.

He deflects the spear piercing his shoulder with his armor and slashes away the rusty blade aimed at his neck.

Durandal’s sword, which swung ceaselessly, equally cut out everything it touched.

eight. leg. tentacle. body. Armor. bone. A lump of flesh.

The bloodshed continued endlessly.

It must have been about twenty minutes like that.

The soaked body, as if bathed in rotten blood, is heated by the heat of battle and gives off steam.

I was out of breath, and it felt like a heavy weight was hanging on my arms and legs.

The speed at which stamina was depleted was faster than expected.

Well, I had to run while swinging my sword in all directions without stopping even for a moment.

Even so, the scars from the blind spears were etched all over the body.

There was a sword stuck in his left arm.

I was able to deal with the mixed remains, but if I saw more monsters, I had to avoid them.

If you get caught even just a little bit, you will be trapped among the waves of monsters.

Still, the castle wall was getting closer to our eyes.

“Wow… . omg… . Asha, is it still worth holding on?”

“I’m dying from this exhaustion… .”

“But we’re almost there, let’s try a little more… !”

Even as he speaks, the sword does not stop.

Cut down ten more and move forward several tens of meters.

If you jump with all your might, you can reach the distance in two or three leaps, but if you do that, you’ll be leaving Asha alone in the middle of nowhere.

The shouts and screams of the soldiers mixed together near the castle walls were so loud that it was deafening.

Dozens of knights and paladins were blocking the gap in the collapsed castle wall, dealing with the incoming monsters, and soldiers continued to pour arrows from the castle wall.

Three or three knights were struck by the tentacles wielded by the mixed remains, and the knights in the back row stepped forward as if to fill the empty space.

There was even a battle going on inside the castle beyond.

Those who appear to be masters engage in a fierce battle against isolated tomb predators.

Did they intentionally let them in and isolate them?

If those guys had run rampant from the front, the defense line would have collapsed long ago.

“Hey, look over there! Monsters are fighting each other!”

“Monster… ? No, no matter where you look, there are people! They are knights!”

Some soldiers seemed to have discovered us only then, pointing in my direction and making a fuss.

“Surely they are reinforcements!”

“What about reinforcements? There are only two people!”

“You idiot! The two of us got through that place together! Unless you’re a master… !”

I haven’t cracked it yet… It’s true that he’s a master.

I take a deep breath as I cut down the charging monster.

I think we caught about 400 fish between the two of us. It’s not noticeable at all.

“That armor, somewhere… ?”

“Black hair, scaled armor… ! Yes, definitely! The master of Kahar, Princess Aishangior!”

“An animal predator?! Why here… !”

I guess there were soldiers who knew me, and I could hear cries of something like a beast or predator coming from all over the place.

No, if you recognize it, don’t be surprised, but ask for help!

“Priests! Give them support!”

Leopold shouted urgently.

Pure white holy light comes out and pours down on Asha.

The wound gradually closed, and vitality gradually filled my exhausted body.

The sword that had slowed down regains its speed.

That wasn’t all.

Until now, the only way to neutralize them was with my sword, but with the blessings of the priests, I could now use both my arms and legs.

“Okay, we’ll get through it like this, Asha!”

“Please!”

The forward speed increased three times.

The swung left hand tears the monster to pieces, and the kicked monster explodes.

It took less than forty seconds to reach the castle wall.
