Chapter 88

Episode 88:

Ahar and Taurine clashed.

A huge shock wave spread in all directions.

“What is this guy? “You’re stronger than you look!”

Taurine waved his fist wildly as if he was very happy.

Get out of the way!

Ahar screamed at her.

bang! Quaaaang!

As fists collide, the sound of explosives exploding is heard.

I knew long ago that Ahar was a monster, but Taurine was stronger than I imagined.

“Use your strength properly! “You can do more!”

She was treating Ahar like a child.

“Slowly fall back.”

I had absolutely no desire to get involved in something like that.

Taurine was like a device that allowed us to escape from Ahar.

It would be nice if she killed Ahar, but even she wouldn’t be able to kill him.

Ahar survived even in worse situations than now.

‘Nothing good comes from being here. ‘You’ll be lucky if you don’t get swept away.’

The more Ahar fights, the more he learns how to use his talents.

Simply put, it means becoming stronger.

“Where are you going?”

Other marauders blocked our path as we tried to escape through the castle gate.

Their eyes were red and bloodshot.

They were angry at us because they knew that Ahar, who killed their comrade, had followed us.

If we hadn’t come, their colleagues wouldn’t have died.

“Get out of my way.”

That was their own situation.

It’s not something I care about. There was no reason for me to care about the deaths of those who lived by sucking the blood and bones of others.

“You’re trying to do something and run away. “Aren’t you embarrassed as a knight?”

“uh. “I’m not ashamed.”

It’s not shameful at all.

There is nothing more important than life. I feel like I’m going to die. What’s so important about the honor of a knight like that?

“You don’t even have the qualifications to be a knight!”

“Okay, get out of the way!”

Kwaaaaang!

I swung my sword.

The marauders blocking the way fell.

They groaned and glared at me.

“run.”

I lightly ignored them and ran to the castle gate with my group.

The gate was not yet visible.

Even if you run with all your might from now on, you will still have to run for one more day.

Stand there!

“Where are you running away!”

From behind, we could hear the sound of Ahar running after us and the sound of Taurine chasing Ahar at the same time.

bang! Puhwaak!

The sand rose high and Ahar slid from the side.

His face was half sunken, and even standing up seemed difficult.

“Where are we going, Red Mill?”

Before I knew it, Taurine was approaching me and looking at me, wiping the blood off his hands.

It looked very dangerous with his eyes half-open.

She came closer, touching her lips with her bloody hand.

“But to be chased by a guy like that…!”

As she spoke, she suddenly turned around.

Wow!

Ahar ran towards her. His hair, which had been very distorted, recovered in an instant, and the skin on his face became tougher than before.

“You’re persistent.”

Her face, holding Ahar’s neck, was still calm.

The mood was that Ahar was not a threat at all.

Wow!

Ahar, who had completely lost his senses, bit down on Taurine’s arm with his elongated mouth.

Crackling.

A sound similar to scraping metal was heard.

I think my skin itself will change when I become a sword master.

“Be persistent.”

Taurin struck Ahar’s head repeatedly with the other hand where Ahar was hanging.

Bang kwaang!

Ahar’s head was distorted and then restored again and again.

Ahar, who seemed to not even feel pain, was literally incredibly persistent.

Ahar was so annoying that she soon stopped paying attention to us and started focusing on dealing with him.

‘Now is the time.’

left the place

The monsters flocked to one place as the roar echoed in all directions.

If the number is that much.

No matter how Ahar or Sword Master he is, it will take some time for him to come after us.

“Hahahaha! “What a human punching bag this bastard is!”

“Kaaaa!”

Oh, I don’t know.

I need to get out of this hellish place.

***

The sun set and rose again.

“What is it? Hey hey hey!”

“why?”

“Look over there!”

“Oh, what… crazy?”

The sentries standing guard on the walls of the only city connecting the north and the center began to be alarmed.

“Hey. “You’re crazy.”

“How many on earth are there?”

“Are there marauders too? It’s a rare sight. “Monsters and humans live together.”

“That’s not the problem. “Down there.”

“what? Are you being chased? “They also know a lot about life.”

A cloud of dust rises. Hundreds of monsters and dozens of looters were all mixed together.

Even though they were fighting to the death of each other, their eyes were focused on one place.

“They will die soon.”

“Pity me. This door does not open unless it is a designated day, even when the emperor comes. “You didn’t know that?”

Where everyone’s eyes are directed.

A team of five people.

A man and woman who look precarious as if they have overcome adversity.

“If you don’t want to save me, don’t worry. “Because they won’t even last a day and die anyway.”

“okay.”

The sentries looked straight ahead with indifferent eyes.

Unless they directly harm the city and its walls, they will not step out.

There are monsters behind.

In front is a castle wall.

There is no more place to run to.

“Beth. You only protect Raina and Merina. Don’t worry about anything else. “Just focus on protecting yourself.”

“yes. All right.”

“And Mahol. you hide yourself And don’t go out unless it’s an emergency. It’s going to be a long fight. “Save as much stamina as possible.”

“yes.”

Mahol disappeared like fog.

“Barrier. Illusion.”

After quickly casting, Beatrice disappeared from sight along with the group.

Only I was exposed to the enemies, and all their attention was focused on me.

“ha. “This is not what I wanted.”

Until I came to the North, I had no idea that things would get this big.

I thought I would be able to hatch the egg and come out comfortably.

Why is my life so miserable?

“Who should I blame?”

Should I take comfort in the fact that I got the sword?

“Four months. “You just have to last four months.”

Four months is 120 days. Having to endure for such a long time without being able to rest.

Just imagining it was very thrilling and terrifying.

“Let’s come in slowly.”

Because I want to move on easily.

People gathered on the castle wall.

They gathered to see a scene outside the city walls.

“hey. Anyone who wants to bet, bet now!”

“I get 10 silver if I die in three days!”

“5 silver for not being able to last more than a day!”

“First of all, what is silver?! “1 gold for dying within a week!”

“Oooh!”

They bet against those under the walls.

How long can a man last surrounded by monsters?

There were other people besides the man, but I didn’t really care that they were gone.

I thought most of them would have been eaten by monsters a long time ago.

Now, their biggest concern was how long that man could endure.

“hey! “Hold on for another day!”

“Still, Kisande! “I have to last a week!”

“Why are you holding on so hard! “Just take it easy!”

They didn’t seem to have any intention of helping at all.

They just wanted to get their money back.

Even if they were selfish and mean, there was no one here to criticize them.

For them, who had lived this way for many years, death was insignificant.

If you are weak, you die.

These were people for whom that perception was deeply rooted.

“Still, I wish I lived.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Not only are there monsters, but there are also looters. “It’s impossible to survive there.”

“No, that’s right. “Because I feel pity.”

“It’s pitiful. “That’s what life is all about.”

They were critical.

No one thought he would survive.

It was a bad situation.

A day passed like that.

“and. It’s crazy. “Was there ever a mercenary who used a sword like that?”

“Well. “Even among knights, I’ve never seen anyone use a sword that well.”

monster.

The sight of a man wielding a sword surrounded by monsters was a monster itself.

It felt amazing in a different way than the fight between a woman and a monster, where the air distorted just by swinging a fist.

“You’re not using Aurors now, are you?”

“uh. “I’m holding it with pure swordsmanship.”

“Aren’t there sandworms and trolls over there? “Is that possible?”

“Because it’s possible. “I guess it’s like that, right?”

“You’re crazy.”

Dealing with high-level monsters without using Aurors was not an easy task.

Aurors are essential to deal with the monsters of the North.

But not using aurors was as absurd as saying goblins were hunting ogres.

But it actually happened.

The flesh of monsters that could not even be scratched without auras was cracked and their bones were cut.

“It’s really awesome. “How can the sword’s movement line be so clean?”

“her. crazy. Does anyone know that guy? I don’t know this person. “There’s no way someone with that level of skill wouldn’t be known.”

As time passed, their perspectives on him began to change.

Although only one day had passed, the image he showed during that time was that powerful.

“Hey, are you still fighting?”

“uh. I guess I’m not even tired. “It’s already been a week.”

“How long until the door opens?”

“Remember there are 100 more days left.”

“Then it’s over. “As long as I’m human, there’s no way I can last until then.”

They still didn’t think he would survive.

The 100 days was that long, and in the years they had been together, no one had survived that time.

A month passed like that.

“Sweet guy. “I never thought it would still be holding on.”

“hey. It’s not just him. Look at that looter too. “I’m still running wild as if I’m not tired.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen that monster. It’s so strong. “Other monsters can’t even rub against it.”

Three monsters on the battlefield.

As people looked at them, the thought of ‘what if’ came to mind.

“and. Do you really want to live? “I want to help you for no reason.”

“Who wouldn’t want to do that? “But you know you can’t do that.”

“know. “As long as this shield is in place, there’s nothing we can do.”

The protective shield surrounding the entire city could not affect the outside, inside, or outside in any way.

Therefore, it was not possible to throw water or food to them from above.

Another two months passed.

“and. “You’re still holding on?”

“hey! Not long left! Hang in there! “You crazy person!”

“You can live! Let’s hold on!”

People started cheering for the man.

I fell in love with the guy who was holding on with only his willpower.

“uh? “Where did those appear again?”

“Wow crazy. So you’ve been holding on with magic until now? “You’re crazy.”

“That’s not important. “There are more things he has to protect.”

People let out a deep sigh as the illusion was broken and three men and women appeared right in front of the castle gate.

Everyone knew that it was harder to protect and fight than to fight alone.

Before I knew it, three months had passed.

There was a great commotion above the walls.

“Get out of the way, you bastards! “My daughter is over there!”

“It’s not possible!”

“Don’t you know very well that you can’t do this, Count?”

“Let go! “I will get out even if it means breaking this protective shield!”

“What are you doing, don’t stay still and stop me!”

A wizard appeared and made a fuss, saying he would destroy the protective shield and open the castle gate.

And after four months, the day came when the gates were opened.

“and. “I got through it in the end.”

“The mercenary king is also here.”

“what? Why Him?”

“There is also the need to protect the city. Well, it’s obvious. “I may have come to scout him because I like him.”

“Is it just the mercenary king? Count Skylar and other nobles are also here.”

With the voices of noisy people.

Kugugugu-

The gate that had been closed for a long time was wide open, kicking up dust.
