Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

28 – Winter (6)

Sometimes you want to believe everything is a lie.

I’d rather see this hopeless situation in front of me as a dream,

I often imagine that if I close my eyes and open them, they will be back to normal.

However.

Nothing has changed.

Khalifa laughed. The creatures she created were not easily cut down even if they were simply surrounded by mana.

Even if it was a master, it was her creation that would eat her troubles.

Does it make sense to say that there is a sword that cuts through the darkness? Just as water cannot be cut, darkness was also such a concept.

However, what is this scene unfolding in front of his eyes?

As if that darkness had taken shape, it was crumbling.

It was slashed by a single slash, and soon its huge body was collapsing to the ground.

“…What is this?”

Not even words could come out of his small open mouth. I couldn’t even see the cut.

I swung it, just because the moment I recognized it, everything was already over.

He just stared blankly at the knight standing in front of him.

That pure white mana that is clearly different from others. What on earth is that mana?

Evan looked intently at Khalifa.

He said that the black shape he cut was probably created by a warlock.

The thick mana I felt the moment I cut it, I’m sure the darkness surrounding it must also belong to that giant.

After a while, a chill settled in his eyes.

I remember the face of the warlock who just went mad.

Even though it was clear that he planned all of this, the face that casually tried to sow despair,

He kept his eyes open.

Tragedy, if it was the work of that black giant he created, surely many people would have died.

I realized it the moment I cut it. The dangers of that giant must be beyond imagination.

Perhaps, if it had been a little too late, it would surely have been the darkness that would overtake the dukedom.

My eyes narrow. Emotions surged up, and he let out a heavy breath.

“The Warlock.”

Hearing Evan’s voice, Khalifa trembled.

The thick chill in that voice seemed to seep into his bones.

His words that it was him who died here, not that knight, echoed in his ears, and soon his feet, which were stuck on the ground, began to tremble.

I had to run away. I had to get out of this place right away and save my life even if it was pitiful.

How could he not know that the white mana wrapped around that sword would soon cut him!

With a flash, dark blue flames rose from Khalifa’s fingertips.

The fire that burns even darker in this thick darkness,

Soon, he held the sword to himself and pointed at the approaching knight.

A small fire soon grew and began to cover the road.

Dark blue waves, Evan looked at the flame and raised his sword.

As I did when dealing with assassins, I knew that I couldn’t cut them simply by swinging my sword.

Kugung, I feel the mana that started to flow through my heart.

Hot, burning mana like fire began to wrap around her body.

For some reason, her own mana was at odds with black magic.

No disease, no decay, and no darkness. It shrank in front of his own mana.

After a while, Evan’s body leaned forward.

Kicking off the ground, the two hands holding the sword moved toward the flames.

The white flame contained in the sword mixed with the darkness, and soon began to push the darkness away.

The darkness was afraid of the light. Characteristics that have been present since the beginning,

The blue-black flame disappeared, and soon a new type of black magician could be seen cutting through the thick darkness.

The collapsed giant was still intact. Could it really be that it doesn’t move anymore?

After looking at the giant for a moment, Evan moved her steps toward the warlock.

It was clear that if the warlock was dealt with, it would disappear. It seemed clear that everything was created by a warlock.

The tragedy that came to Yuris, and the discovery of Irene’s light.

If he hadn’t been possessed by Evan Fried’s body, Evan would have been attacked as well.

The darkness gnaws at people’s bodies. It may not be obvious at first, but

If you had been exposed to that darkness for a long time, it was a darkness that no matter how strong you were, it would surely disappear.

Sir Chris, Lopenado. I must have been caught in this darkness.

Maybe that’s why Irene changed so much. She realizes that she is gritting her teeth.

The reason why she is so angry,

What is the reason why this heart beats so violently, and the hatred that rises in my eyes is directed at that warlock?

Perhaps it was because Irene didn’t want to end up like me.

Before she twisted her heart like herself, she was trapped in that darkness and she hoped not to be like herself who lost her light.

Perhaps that was the reason she was saddened by the death of the wicked woman.

How could she not be sad that she, who was in the same situation as herself, passed away like that.

Strength went into the hand holding the sword.

The warlock took advantage of the opportunity to reap the flames and disappeared, but he wouldn’t be able to escape that easily.

The distance is getting shorter. Khalifa’s eyes widened as the distance narrowed in an instant, as if their breath could reach them at any moment.

‘Damn it!’

This was not the situation he had hoped for.

Surely it was not intended to move the creature and plant darkness while no one knew.

It was a monumental day to take the first steps in the great name of extinction.

Shiik, a dark mist stretched out from Khalifa’s hand once more.

Corruption, the power to erode everything and make it rot,

When the fog soon took shape and became sharp like an arrow.

Khalifa threw it at the knight approaching him.

Anything was good. If only I could widen this narrowing distance!

An arrow is flying. Evan realized he couldn’t dodge all of those arrows.

If your body is already floating in the air, then try to avoid it as much as possible.

As Evan’s sword struck the arrow, his body rotated once in the air.

A foot lodged in her shoulder was unavoidable. Then.

Ignoring the pain coming from her shoulder, she raised her sword again.

Khalifa’s eyes widened. She is unstoppable, this was unstoppable.

Suddenly, in an instant, blood gushed from Khalifa’s severed shoulder.

It wasn’t long before the blood that spouted out like a fountain soaked Evan’s face and blocked his vision,

Writhing in pain, Khalifa’s body began to fall down the roof.

Turns the mana that was wrapped around the sword into the legs. Before long, white flames rose from the tips of her toes,

Evan threw himself under the roof following the falling warlock.

“Don’t come…Don’t come!”

Khalifa’s face was grotesquely contorted. What the hell is that guy talking about!

I couldn’t understand. The sudden appearance of an article of this level,

In the first place, he could not understand that he could find himself in this darkness.

This darkness was his domain. Only for yourself, where no one dares to invade!

However, how can that light cut through this darkness? There was no more movement.

No matter how much black magic I used, the sword that cut through the magic was thrusting its blade at me.

Kooong fell to the floor, his spine tingling. Realize that you can no longer move.

If he struggled any further, he would die. However, I can only do the final push.

Far away, he looks at his crumbling creation. It was clear that he would still be able to move at least once.

As much as the source of the disease that moves at the center was still intact.

The one gap that the guy would show, Khalifa purposely closed his eyes tightly and wriggled his body.

I waited for the knight to completely relax, as if his consciousness was disappearing.

Chuck, Khalifa held her breath as Evan came down to the ground. He himself would not open his mouth.

The gap that the article will show is the only way to overcome this situation.

“…Looks alive.”

Evan frowned at him. The movements of the wriggling warlock stopped.

All he did was cut his shoulder at best. Why did the movement stop?

As I listened, I could see that the warlock was still breathing.

“Ha.”

A mischievous laugh leaked out. Are you pretending to be dead?

If he was trying to exploit his own gaps, it would have been better to direct his attention elsewhere.

The rising mana began to sharpen her senses.

In this quiet desolation, the movement of something moving quietly came through my ears.

Gigik, the ground is scratched by minute movements.

The dust raised by the ground creates wind again, and the wind touching the skin conveys the direction of its movement.

‘Perhaps, behind me.’

She didn’t even have to look away. The wind was giving direction.

All I had to do was raise my sword and block it.

Hurrruk, once again, flames start to flow through the sword and cut through the darkness.

It was something I had already done several times during training.

To block all attacks aimed at the head, heart, and vital points.

I was used to it because I had been training with my eyes closed.

Even if months of training would make it impossible, this talent makes it possible.

Kwajik!

At last, the extended sword collided with something behind his back and began digging into it.

Perhaps it was the fist of that gigantic shape.

The digging sword began to break the giant’s body.

The light penetrating into the darkness was gradually raising its brilliance.

“It’s no use. Something like this.”

Faang-!

Soon after, the broken body of the giant began to scatter in all directions.

Khalifa’s eyes, looking at the black piece that fell on the floor, were already empty.

There was no more hope. He had no way of surviving this knight himself.

Evan looked into Khalifa’s empty eyes and pointed his sword at its neck.

I didn’t even intend to kill him, but even then I had a mountain of questions to ask.

First of all, the organization he belongs to.

“Do you know what extinction is?”

“…Well, if it were extinction.”

“The organization you belong to.”

“That, I don’t know! Really!”

Khalifa shook his head desperately.

Extinction, isn’t that just the name of a plan he made up!

“You really don’t know?”

“That’s just the name of my plan. By spreading disease here, uh. It’s just such a plan!”

‘…As expected.’

Evan’s eyes widened as he looked at Khalifa.

It was clear that the tragedy that befell Julis was probably created by this black magician.

Spreading a disease, maybe that giant is the disease.

Although it was cut with a sword, there was clearly a sense of heterogeneity.

If it wasn’t for him, he probably wouldn’t have been able to cut it.

I didn’t know exactly what this mana was.

However, I was certain for some reason. Now I’m sure that the disease won’t happen.

There was much to learn from this warlock. If you study that giant,

Even if something similar happened in the future, I would be able to overcome it.

Obviously, in novels, vaccines for diseases were created in the same way.

“Hey!”

As Evan’s gaze reached Khalifa, Khalifa screamed and felt the coldness of the blade against his throat.

It digs into the skin and bleeds.

As Khalifa’s eyes turned white as he looked at the red color, Evan slowly opened his mouth.

“I have so many questions to ask.”

Why did he do this?

However, this was not something that could be solved even if he asked.

Isn’t there a method that is most suitable for digging something out?

Disappointed, she had to accept that this was all she could do.

“However, it would be of no use if I asked.”

Advisor.

“Oh no!”

Khalifa groaned as the word passed through her mind.

As much as that, I had to avoid that much.

I didn’t want to go through the pain of having my flesh sliced and my nails pulled out again!

Green!

Khalifa struggled with the green eyes looking at him. He wanted to live, he himself wanted to live-

“Goodbye.”

Evan looked at Khalifa quietly, then struck him on the head with the scabbard.

When the struggling black magician collapsed with his death, he let out a heavy breath.

There was no more darkness. The suffocating darkness that had covered the area had also disappeared.

The sky was showing the brilliant moon again.

“…Ha ha.”

I frown at the pain I feel in his shoulder.

Blood was still flowing because the arrow pierced it earlier.

She told Irene not to get hurt, but what would she say if she saw her hurt like this?

Suddenly, laughter leaked out. It was funny that Irene was the first thing that came to mind after such a fight.

When the hell did she encroach on her own head like this? However, it wouldn’t have been a bad thing.

The fact that her relationship has become a little closer like this, and that she is also worried about herself now.

When she looked up, the moon she saw looked particularly blue, so she closed her eyes for a moment and breathed in.

The hand holding the sword felt exceptionally heavy.

Perhaps it was because she raised her mana quite a bit, her shoulders trembled from the fatigue accumulated in her body.

I wanted to rest.

Sincerely.

#

“Now I can see the moon!”

The darkness lifts. The knights who saw it cheered.

Evan Fried did it. Even the knights who didn’t know the name well raised their hands and shouted.

“…Evan.”

Only then, between the narrowed eyes, did the blue eyes begin to regain their luster.

My chest, which seemed about to burst with anxiety, returned to normal, and I raised my head while exhaling with difficulty.

“Looks like Evan did a good job.”

“I’m glad.”

Really, it was fortunate.

Sir Chris was just staring at Evan in the direction Evan was headed with a smile on his face, as if he was proud of him.

Where did you get hurt? I begged you not to get hurt,

Didn’t you know that it would be quite difficult not to get hurt in a fight with a warlock?

“It’ll be fine. Evan is a much stronger guy than I know.”

“……”

His own gaze was still looking beyond the darkness.

Sir Chris told me not to worry, but I couldn’t help worrying.

If it was fatally wounded. If it had been a fight and a friendship.

Just as he was contemplating whether he should move on his own, he heard the voice of a knight in his ears.

“Evan is back! Warlock captured!”

“It looks all right. Aren’t you glad?”

However, the anxiety did not disappear. Even when I look at the faintly visible figure beyond the darkness,

The anxiety rising from a corner of my heart did not go away.

“Evan, make people worry…You.”

As if he could see Evan’s figure, Sir Chris’ face, which had been laughing out loud, gradually hardened.

My anxiety is growing. His eyebrows furrowed lightly, and he seemed to finally be able to see Evan’s figure in the dark.

Red color.

Evan’s eyes widened when he saw the blood flowing from his shoulder blades.

His breathing became short of breath. The rising breath reached the bottom of his chin, and soon he let out a heavy breath and muttered quietly.

“Evan.”

I told you not to get hurt, but what is the blood flowing from that shoulder?

At some point, he was approaching his escort knight. Saying that there’s nothing to get hurt, that it’ll be different from before, confidently saying that.

“…Lady.”

His complexion looked tired no matter who looked at it, he looked at himself and smiled lightly.

He didn’t want to smile.

He didn’t want him to smile at me. He was just hoping he wasn’t hurt.

“I must have told you, didn’t I?”

The voice was quite cold. Even though I didn’t want to do that, I was surprised even myself by the voice mixed with anger.

Evan was still smiling. His own heart seemed to ache at the laughter.

“He said don’t get hurt.”

“…But what about those shoulders?”

A hole was pierced, and a black trace was visible on the side. It was not a small wound at first glance.

Possibly due to black magic, he closed his eyes for a while, then opened them and looked at Evan.

“I got hurt in a fight.”

“Don’t take it for granted. I clearly told you not to get hurt.”

“Sorry.”

The escort knight bowed his head towards him. Was this what he wanted?

No, he just wanted to be safe.

I should have been grateful just to have come back alive like this.

Clean your teeth. He let out a heavy breath through his teeth and quietly raised his head.

Dang-

And then the bell rings. At midnight the bell rings in this city,

A thought flashes through my mind at the bell announcing that the next day has arrived.

Birthday.

Isn’t today the day your escort knight was born?

Crying, I wiped my face at the surge of emotion.

On the day he was born, he stained his sword with blood.

Even though I was grateful to come back to him like this with his injured body, I regretted saying it sharply to him with a hat.

I didn’t get angry in the first place.

I was relieved that he had come back like this, so it was the same as complaining to him.

“If you punish me, sweetly-“

“…Why am I punishing you?”

Involuntarily, a laugh leaked out. I couldn’t even understand my own heart anymore.

What the hell is this strange mind?

Even though he was angry at his injuries, strangely, when I looked at his face, the anger melted away like snow.

I don’t know what to do with this confused heart that feels like it’s been magically touched.

He just quietly chanted towards Evan, who was looking at him.

“…Happy birthday.”

There were many things I wanted to say, but somehow this was all that came out of my mouth.

He wasn’t angry.

No, it was clear that he would never get angry after seeing his escort driver.

No one knows why. Until the day comes when we call this heart what it is called.

No one, not even himself, would know.
