I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

5 – National Foundation Day – (5)

[Ending – #14 /「Snake’s Eye Slaine」 ]

＞ Avoid

＞ Survival Point +1

I looked back. There was a corpse with a blown head.

Look at the notification window that pops up again.

Could it be that that bastard was the Serpent’s Eye Slaine?

There are 100 dead ends to raise an empress.

The 14th ending among them.

I can’t remember the details because I saw the ending as if it was passing by. However, the name of that Serpent’s Eye Slaine was familiar.

Clearly, in the second act, he was one of the cult’s killers aiming for the life of the empress.

In the game, it was an adult’s circumstances and there was not a single standing cg. However, the description in the game and the appearance of the guy he saw with his own eyes matched exactly. Its name is Snake Eyes. It was strange that I couldn’t remember.

Well, if Slaine is the murderer of the Church, it is strange that she does not appear in the prelude where the terror of the Church is the cause.

A character who should have appeared in earnest in the second act died in the prelude. Thanks to that, I unintentionally overcame the 14th ending.

It’s like catching a mouse while walking backwards.

So what does that survival score mean?

It was a phrase I had never seen before in the game. In other words, it would be correct to understand that it is a special gimmick added only in this Death March mode.

“Survival score.”

I try to recite it quietly. No change.

“Status window.”

still no response

“Status. shop. menu. Log out. Service center. f*k Taechang. Bung Tae-chang.”

I tried to say the words once, but it was every one.

To drop them into such a harsh world without systemic assists, producers with no mercy.

As I was trying to let go of my anger inside, Lyncia’s embarrassed voice hit my ears.

“Hey, Sir Fried… … ? what now… … do you?”

“ah.”

Concentrating on the notification window, I completely forgot that Lincia was right next to me.

I turned my head to Lyncia as it was.

[ Status – (Lock) ]

＞ Unlock Condition: Clear the Prelude

I saw the phrase floating above her head.

It feels like getting hit in the head hard.

yes. I am a supporting actor. The playable character in this game was always Lyncia. It was only natural that her status would be displayed instead of me. In fact, even in the game, most of the functions of the prelude were blocked.

You must somehow enter the first act to use the systemic function. The same goes for the survival score factor.

“it’s nothing.”

Clear the prelude now.

that’s the top priority.

*

I crossed the street and came out to the side of the road.

But even there, there were a lot of soldiers of the church. They were engaged in a skirmish with several imperial guards, and it was clear who was in poor condition.

The number is about fifteen.

Fortunately, unlike Slaine, their armed condition was poor. At most, it seemed to be in the position of a pawn soldier.

“after.”

I took a deep breath, and took out a brick and a curved sword I had captured from Slaine.

There was no more fear. Right after the murder, my mind was remarkably clear.

“You have to stick as close as possible and follow me.”

Lyncia nodded with a stiff expression.

“Okay. Let’s do it, Fried.”

He thumped his thumping chest like crazy and bit his lip.

I kicked the ground and ran out.

“What is that!”

“Raise your arms! It’s a knight!”

A few people were startled and raised their weapons.

I threw the brick in my left hand. A man’s skull collapses with a sharp and desperate scream.

Jumping between the bewildered ones, he swung his curved sword.

It was a crude swordsmanship without any skill. But the aftermath was great.

squeak.

The upper bodies of the two subordinates of the church, who were in the place where the sword had passed, were split in two. Because it was torn with force, the cross section was a mess as if it had been ground through a grinder.

As the blood splattered like a fountain, the subordinates scattered in disarray like babies searching for their mother.

“Nimi! You’re a Guardian Knight! Where the hell is Slaine!”

“Look closely, you asshole! That bastard’s sword!”

What I was holding was the pale blue song I had captured from Slaine.

It became a fire. For them, the fact that a great figure died was enough to throw away their fighting spirit.

I cut down two fleeing underlings.

blood splatters on the face

As if moving violently, the wound from the knife earlier screamed. However, it did not interfere with movement.

“hahahaha.”

I don’t know why, but I laughed.

I, who had been living a normal modern life until a few hours ago, is laughing as I stick a knife in the back of a runaway soldier.

There was no time to feel strange about that fact.

I chased after them like a mad asshole.

It was around the time that I put a knife through the back of another person’s head.

nettle liquid.

Poo-wook.

From somewhere, I heard the sound of cutting the wind, followed by a dull sound.

That was the sound of an arrow flying, and it took me a while to realize that the arrow was lodged in my calf.

“Keah!”

I staggered from the pain that invaded my whole body. Looking at the legs, the arrowheads were embedded so deeply that one could not see them.

thought was short. There was no guarantee that they wouldn’t shoot arrows like I threw bricks.

In the distance, an archer holding a bowstring shines in his eyes.

“That bastard…”

Soon after, the archer attached the next arrow to the string and fired.

An arrow that shines and flies.

I caught the flying arrow and swung my right hand from inside to outside.

Ting.

The sound of metal hitting metal.

My gauntlets deflected arrows.

Of course, a terrible pain ran through the back of his hand, but the fact that it bounced off was important.

I grabbed the bow stick stuck in my calf. I grabbed it and pulled it out. The flesh comes along with it. I almost screamed, but I managed to hold it in.

And I tried to open my eyes and glared at the archer.

“You fell behind.”

An archer who gets flustered and reloads his arrows.

I staggered towards him.

The one who finally set the arrow again pulled hard on the string.

I focused all my senses on the eyes.

If it was Fried’s dynamic vision, he could see it and knock it out. Even if I couldn’t hit it, I could get hit less painfully.

But instead of targeting me, the other side turned their protests to a more important target.

“ah.”

He was aiming for Lyncia, who was a few steps behind. Alas, by the time I wanted to, it was already too late.

The bow string was pulled taut, and it sounded like a crude firing sound.

It was the body that moved before judgment. He hurriedly ran back and jumped in, wrapping her in his arms and crouching down. Showing the back of the head to the opponent in a defenseless state, it was an attitude to kill me.

badass.

At the same time, an eerie sound rings in my ears.

A poisonous snake comes out and pierces Lynthia at the same time.

“…”

Exactly, I thought it would.

silence for a while.

There was no shock.

The arrow didn’t fly in the first place.

“Yes?”

When I opened my tightly closed eyes, Lyncia was also blankly blinking her emerald eyes. I feel her body and make sure there are no wounds. His face turned red, but he didn’t care.

is it not right? Or did you not shoot?

Turning my head around, I saw an unbelievable sight.

Wheein.

A whirlwind of five colors, the size of a house, swept through the center of the main street.

The place where the tornado passed was left with huge marks, layer upon layer, as if it had been licked by a beast.

“f*k… it’s magic. I’m a magician!”

“Avoid! Avoid!!”

They were taken aback by the desperate situation that had suddenly struck them.

However, their efforts were not worth it, and the members of the church flew away or were torn apart without even resisting the sudden approaching phenomena.

The archer who had just pulled the bowstring towards me was also smashed to pieces with his whole body twisted.

I involuntarily swallowed my breath at that heartless attack.

“What is this again…”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Doubts did not last long.

It was because a knight with blazing red hair stood dignified in the rainbow-colored torrent that raged like a typhoon.

He held the sword vertically, and at the tip of the blade drawing a straight line was the shape of a small, bright blue girl dancing around.

Only then did I realize who that man was.

“Lautrec.”

call his name

Spirit Knight Lautrec.

Just like Fried, who I possessed, he is a knight in charge of the position of a guardian knight who has only six members of the Royal Guard.

Even in the actual game, it is dealt with quite a lot.

Soon, the wind that swept the road like a typhoon died down.

The only ones left on the street were Lyncia, me, and the knight who was caught. The soldiers of the torn church had disappeared without a trace, leaving only scattered flesh.

Overwhelmed by its violent destructive power, I braced myself.

The knight, Lautrec, bowed nicely and walked straight to me.

As soon as the knight approached, I could see his face.

With red hair and amber eyes, he is a handsome man that anyone can admire. Although he is small in size and has a slim body, he never feels dwarfed.

On his shoulder, a three-handed blue girl was sitting and swinging her legs.

“Fried, are you okay?”

Lautrec asked me, bending one knee, and I nodded blankly.

While looking at me, he also raised his eyebrows in disbelief when he confirmed the existence of Lynchia behind me.

“Did you save it?”

“It’s long to say, but yes.”

“I’m glad. I’m glad…”

Lautrec bowed to Lyncia with respect.

Lincia also nodded with a stiff expression, as if she knew Lautrec.

“Fried, where is Oswald? Wasn’t he with you?”

“That man… No, Oswald is dead.”

“ah.”

Lautrec’s expression darkened.

He shook his head and spoke.

“This side is similar. Siegbald is dead, and Millia is seriously injured.”

I felt somewhat relieved at the same development as the game.

It was a little uncomfortable that people were killed or injured, but I felt relieved.

After being possessed by this world, it seemed that my mind had become surprisingly cold. Does this reflect the personality of this Fred I possessed?

“Except for Sir Yuriard, who went out on a dispatch, in reality there are only two Guardian Knights left, you and me.”

Lautrec brushed himself off and continued.

“I’ll be in charge of this place, so you take the princess and hide inside the imperial palace.”

“yes.”

Lautrec drew his sword again. Light seeped into the unknown phrase written on the sword body.

The girl riding on my shoulder – most likely a spirit – waved at me and climbed onto the sword.

Spirit Knight Lautrec. The title to call him did not come about for nothing.

“Freed.”

I was about to take Lyncia to the gateway, but Lautrec’s wonderful voice called me to my stop.

As I turned my head, I saw his smiling face.

“I saw you again. You must be a proud knight too.”

With those words, Lautrec ran to the other side of the road and swung his sword. According to his signal, the blue spirit beckons.

Then, every time Lautrec swung his sword, a rip-roaring torrent of mana swept through the enemy. It was an incredible fighting force.

Spirit Swordsman Lautrec. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Fried, one of the strongest Guardian Knights of the Royal Guard.

“……Princess, let’s go.”

I said shyly.

It was the moment when I felt the irrationality of this world again.

No matter how hard I try to be cool, I can’t look straight at Lautrec’s majestic figure.

It’s not just because Lautrec is overwhelmingly strong.

Guardian Knight Lautrec, the model of that perfect knight, will later become a villain who wants to kill the Empress.

He is corrupted in the aftermath of the encroached spirit realm and reappears under the name of Lautrec, the dark side of Act 5, the apostle of foreign gods.

The image of Lautrec greeting the empress with her head bowed in the ruined knights headquarters was drawn eerie and terrifying, and it was often cited by the community as one of the shocking twists of raising an empress.

Once again, I confirmed once again that this world is damn right.

“I’m going crazy.”

I cursed.

Lyncia, who was next to her, startled and shook her shoulders.
