chapter 54
54 – Deadly Sword (7)
Just as we had planned to kill them all from the beginning, Milan also did not trust us.
I don’t know how the conversation went between them, but it was clear that they were intent on killing us if they had to.
Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have been hidden in this narrow building.
It appears that this building itself was designed to be used as a trap.
There were people hiding not only on the floor where I was standing but also on the ceiling, and there were various arrangements made on the old furniture and walls.
It was designed so that people could hide and look for an opportunity or fire arrows.
It’s a good idea.
If we couldn’t win from the front, it was right to at least lay a trap like this.
“Yes. Everyone has at least one good plan. “Until you get beaten up.”
I kicked the table and momentarily removed the five people in front of me.
The table was broken in half because it was kicked so hard, but the impact alone was enough to push the five men away.
I bought time.
First, let’s take out the guys hiding behind. I looked back and drew my great sword.
Ready posture for a big cut. The guy hiding behind the pillar attacked with a short sword.
As you just heard, there were many different ways to commit suicide.
“You idiot! “Would you be able to swing it in a room like this?”
“I brought it out because I could.”
Large weapons are often limited by space.
The place we were in was a complicated and narrow interior, and of course there were pillars and various obstacles blocking my path.
If it were an ordinary swordsman, the moment the sword touches the pillar, it would block and stop.
If that happens, it’s over. Since both defense and attack had stopped, the only thing left to do was die.
But I was not an ordinary prosecutor.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag! The blade, which was not clad in a sword, advanced as if pulverizing everything it touched.
Even though it felt like something was in the way, the sword never stopped.
The eyes of the suicidal person who was attacking me were filled with astonishment.
I made his wish come true. The severed upper body rolled helplessly on the floor.
‘I do not use sword techniques.’
There was no need for that.
If I used my sword technique, I could cut them all like cutting tofu, but right now, my divinity wasn’t enough for power.
Above all, it was not yet time to show my sword skills in front of others.
Because the value of the name of a good fighting mercenary and a sword master are different.
If they hear the news that a new sword master has appeared, the imperial family will not sit still right away.
If we do that, our plans will be disrupted.
‘It can be annoying if the enemy gets scared from the start and runs away.’
These guys seemed like they were fun to deal with.
In particular, these are the five words we met for the first time. Even at first glance, his movements were useful, and I liked his attempts to target weaknesses and dig in.
No matter how much I do, my sword slows down when I destroy an obstacle.
A weapon like a great sword inevitably has large movements.
This means that if you attack incorrectly, the other side can become a weak point.
Looking at his movements, it seemed like he was trying to direct my attack towards a wall or pillar.
Since they have a lot of numbers, are they going to make a simple choice?
The intention was blatant. Well, it was the most effective method I could think of.
Since the effort was worthless, I decided to do whatever I wanted.
“I heard he’s a very talented person. “He is worthy of his name.”
“Is it worth the name?”
“But do you think this is the first mercenary in Requitas who went on a rampage, relying solely on his skills?”
My great sword scratched the wall again and dug into the guys.
An upper cut at about chest height. Most of them went out of orbit, but there was one who ducked down to avoid it.
Since it is a heavy greatsword, they must have judged that it would be difficult to break his direction. It was a sharp decision.
Mana flickered from his sword. Of course, it wasn’t a sword, it just seemed to increase the sword’s prowess and hardness.
If it were any other prosecutor, it would have led to an opportunity to delve deep inside, and at that level, the attack would work for me as well.
You could say it was a so-called counterattack of conversion.
However, it is a defeat.
Again, I was not an ordinary prosecutor.
Stop the swinging sword with force alone and change the direction of the blade.
The man who sensed death let out a short sigh.
“Ha.”
When the sword was struck straight down, the body was torn apart horribly.
A large crack appeared in the wooden floor due to the impact of the sword.
The corpse that fell to the bottom fell asleep, using the collapsed floor as a grave.
It seemed like too much time had been spent to send even one person.
As the series of actions became longer, the defense on the right side became lax.
They did not miss this opportunity. I knew that too.
Because I opened it on purpose.
“Welcome back.”
It was too late to retrieve the sword and counterattack.
Then, slowly retrieve the sword with your left hand and defend with your right hand.
He pushed his body forward and forcefully pushed his right arm outward.
The back of my hand hits the human head exactly.
Kwasik! As the skull was crushed, the already ugly face changed into something unappealing.
It was difficult if the body flew away, so I had to catch it with my hands.
“What is power…… !”
“I’m grateful to have a weapon.”
It seemed like there was no longer any need for a long sword for a guy with half his face.
I accepted the gift with a grateful heart and pierced my feet. Blood and unidentifiable flesh come out from the blade that pierced the wooden floor.
Another one right next to it. It took less than three seconds to clear the two guys on the floor.
Now that the bottom is clean, the ceiling will be next.
It wasn’t a very good sword, so I threw away one and disposed of it, but since there was still room for the corpse, I grabbed its neck.
A handful of blood spurted from the neck. I could feel the heat seeping through the gaps in the gauntlet into my hands.
I sprinkled that blood in front of the enemy.
Very briefly. There would be a gap in your vision.
It is not easy to maintain an attack while blindfolded, and for me, a split second was enough.
“He is a truly generous friend. It is not so?”
I abandoned my tree-like friend and plunged forward.
The combination of the larger-than-average height and the heavy armor made it a plausible mass attack.
Pleasantly, the angle came out without a single error. The guy who was pushed crashed into his comrade behind him, and my sword passed next to him, drawing a horizontal line.
Two dead people. Of course, there were two weapons I had. There were two pieces left on the ceiling.
Since the numbers matched neatly, they were all sent to the arms of Hybras.
Perhaps because the sword I threw broke the support beam, half of the ceiling collapsed.
Three corpses fell down.
“You talk less. But is it a coincidence that you are the only one alive?”
The last person left was the one who served as a guide. He was a guy who kept making fun of me.
There were a few people behind that wall and in other rooms…….
It was okay not to worry about that.
“I understand, I don’t understand. What do you gain by doing this?”
“I told you, it’s revenge. “I’m already getting enough.”
“What on earth? No matter how much I look back, I don’t know. “This is the first time we’ve been involved with you!”
“Kilux was involved.”
He seemed aggrieved.
The person who received the request was Key Lux, and she will think that it is not her.
But you have to think the opposite way. You are not unfair, you were lucky.
I should have died a long time ago, but you kept me alive.
“I know two people who wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully if people like you were left alive. “I’m cleaning it so the same thing doesn’t happen again.”
“Cleaning? By what authority do you do such a thing?”
“When it was time to die, my tongue got a lot longer. “Since when has this lawless area been such a thing?”
There are things you can never forget.
For example, the image of Therion with blood gushing from his neck.
It was probably around this time. From here, half of my neck was cut and blood was pouring out.
It was bothersome to even lift a dagger. I tore my throat open with my fingers, as if tearing off flesh.
No more, no less. Exactly to where Therion was injured.
It was a meaningless revenge, but I felt like I felt a little better after doing it.
I heard the presence of a person in the room next door. It was a familiar sound of footsteps.
“I guess it’s all over.”
Sirien glanced at the dying man.
I didn’t hold my gaze for long. Just like you don’t look at dirt on the street for too long.
“This place has been cleaned up. “I also killed one who tried to run away.”
“Did I miss anyone?”
“What’s wrong with saying I missed it? “It was out there from the beginning.”
“Oh, I didn’t think about it that far.”
“Anyway, I’m not very thorough.”
Has this cleared up the traces of Keylux?
I wasn’t sure. Since Millan didn’t trust us, he might have sent the right guys into a trap.
You can figure that out later. If there are more, just organize them and that’s it.
“If you search the bodies there, I think you’ll find some money.”
“How do you know?”
“Why would they come in front of us for no reason? “I guess I took this risk because Milan put the money in.”
“We should use it in a good place.”
Just as Sirien said, I searched the body and found a bag of gold coins.
Even though it wasn’t as thick as Isha received, the more gold coins, the better.
After I put everything in her pocket, Sirien came towards me.
“Stay still for a moment.”
Where did you get it from? A small hand wiped the blood from the armor with a rag.
I’ll be asking again soon anyway. Still, I thought I would get yelled at if I disturbed him at a time like this, so I behaved quietly.
“Will Russell move?”
“I have to pray for that to happen. “When are we going to move if not when we go on a rampage?”
“If possible, I want to save Russell as well. Are you still against it?”
“Well. Because I’m not really needed. “It’s much easier to deal with if only Isha survives.”
Once we get rid of the gutters, of course, there will be wildcats looking for empty seats.
Because I had no intention of leaving Requitas alone.
There is no reason for us to give up this line of money. I planned to create a suitable organization and use it as a straw to suck up Requitas’ sweet water.
Sirien tried to entrust the leadership of the organization to Isha.
The overall plan was to use Isha, who was indebted to us, as our face madam, absorb the remaining forces of the Crescent Moon, and send her people to take over her real power and establish herself as her ally.
Therefore, Russell was an unnecessary person to Sirien.
Russell is already a skilled leader. He could have brought Crescent Moon back up without our help.
If that happens, the amount of gold that will fall to us will decrease significantly.
“But since you said you wanted to save Russell, you can do that. “You are much more important to me.”
“Then trust me just this once. “I have a good feeling.”
“I wonder if there was a moment when I didn’t trust you.”
Sirien smiled.
