Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Chapter 8

teeth are grinding

Rayman appeared to be in very poor condition.

The level of the left shoulder is almost a rag. If not treated quickly, the left arm may not be usable forever.

“Have you hidden any treasure jars here?”

I took a step closer.

At the same time, the giant took a step back.

“Why do you keep snooping around here?”

He pointed the tip of his sword at the grave robber.

My heart is beating like crazy.

The opponent is a master of sword skill expression. Can I really win?

Apart from anger, it is only skill that determines victory or defeat.

I don’t know if I had a little more time, but my ability was still lacking.

‘Status window.’

[Pearson]

– Skill: Orion’s Sword Art Intermediate

– Strength: 12.1

– Agility: 10.4

– Stamina: 12.8

– Sense: 10.6

– Energy: 4.4

The abilities of a giant floating in the air.

Certainly, compared to my ability level, it is much higher.

It’s Orion’s sword technique… … .

The Nangin Swordsmanship is a swordsmanship for the Nangin created by Orion, who is called the Nangin King.

It was not an open swordsmanship, but most of the swordsmen who had roughly a certain level of ability learned swordsmanship by reading this swordsman.

‘Intermediate swordsmanship… … .’

All stats vary by 4 from the current 2.

It is necessary to narrow the gap in characteristics or skills, but can Havenberg swordsmanship narrow the gap?

Writing the mandate was ambiguous.

Because I had written the code during the day, if I wrote the code one more time now, I might really faint.

Besides, if there was only one opponent, there were two enemies, and Rayman was incapacitated.

Even if you used the code, if you couldn’t completely deal with both within a few seconds, it was the end.

And most of all, if I fall, I won’t be able to save Rayman.

‘Let’s trust me.’

I’ve been training like crazy for the past month.

There will be a way.

The opponent is in a state of being scared while thinking of me in the past.

The enemy he was looking at was not Len Argen, but Havenberg Argen.

“Tell me.”

I tried to hide my nervousness and pretended to be relaxed and talked to him.

His tension is palpable.

The opportunity is clear.

“You saved me so much, but you crawled here again without knowing the grace?”

Pearson’s eyes are shaking like crazy.

“Hey, wait a minute… … .”

He grabbed the machete.

You can feel the muscles all over your body stiffen.

“You’d better let it go. Otherwise, you won’t die gracefully.”

At my bluff, he slowly loosened the grip on the sword.

Is morale falling due to the overwhelming difference in skill? You have to push it like this.

“Let go. If you don’t let go, you die.”

At the same time, I slowly approach him one step at a time.

One foot, two feet, three feet… … .

Pearson also took a step back accordingly.

His gaze is directed towards my sword. All of those senses will be focused on me.

Took.

“Huh?”

As Pearson stepped back, his foot caught on the jaw of the tombstone, making an idiotic noise.

At the same time he laid down his machete.

‘done!’

Opponent is completely terrified.

The opportunity has come.

“Let it go, let it go… .”

‘now… … !’

Without hesitation, I stormed Pearson.

The guy can’t hold his posture, and he’s on his back.

In an instant, he got close to him and then struck down his sword.

“… wet!”

At the same time, the bewildered grave robber urgently grabs the machete again.

His machete rushes in to sever my waist.

– Attack and defense are not separate. doing it at the same time.

At that time, the words of my ancestors passed through my head.

I bent the direction of the sword in mid-air, and instead of slicing the entire neck, I slashed only the part where the artery passed, pulling the sword toward me.

Spark-

Chaeyoung-!

“Chehehe… … 100 million… … .”

Blood spurts from the nape of his neck.

At the same time, my sword and his machete collided.

His machete, which radiated faint sword energy, pushed my sword away and slit my side.

“Big!”

A burning pain radiates from the side.

It was cold.

If you were going to slit his throat with one shot, if my sword hadn’t slowed his machete even for a second… … .

My waist would have split in half first.

Push shush shush!!

The blood gushing from the giant’s neck soaked my face.

He looked at me with an unfair face and opened his mouth, but he collapsed unable to speak in the boiling blood.

A round piece of wood fell into his arms.

“Tsk.”

Because his blood soaked his whole body, the new clothes his mother gave him were dirty within a few hours.

No, the side was already torn, so it’s not good to wear it.

‘ha… … .’

Hot blood drips from his side.

Going crazy. I’m starting to get dizzy, but there’s still one left.

A spiky-haired grave robber.

When I turn my head, I see a pouting head that has cut my chest and can’t control my body properly.

He is leaning against a tombstone, barely breathing.

When our eyes meet, his pupils shake like crazy.

“you guys… … , What is the real purpose of coming here?”

There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

Why do guys obsess over this place.

I wondered why a person capable of swordsmanship would act like a grave robber.

They are obviously mercenaries.

Looking at his skills and attitude, there were many strange things about being a grave robber.

The plaque that came out of Pearson’s arms decisively.

This was the same type of mercenary plaque carried by mercenaries.

Although there was a high probability that the mercenaries were the ones who used the swordsmanship.

In any case, it became a pretty difficult situation.

Are you saying that these two guys aren’t everything you’re after?

You need to find out what’s behind it.

“Garret and Pearson.”

When their names came out of my mouth out of nowhere, Garrett couldn’t hide her bewildered expression.

It seems that Pearson died in a single blow and is unable to make a proper judgment, weighed down by the fear that he may die soon.

Even though he should have noticed that they weren’t as skilled as they thought from the fact that they were cut in the side by Pearson, Garrett didn’t notice at all.

“Your background investigation has already been completed. you have only one thing to say Who is the client?”

“Sa-sa-save me!”

The facial muscles move wildly.

I’m confused by the pain that shoots up my side, but I have to pretend I’m okay.

It seems like there is nothing wrong with such an injury.

“It’s not about saving me.”

I approached Garrett and thrust my sword into his abdomen.

“Keep it off… … !”

“What you say is who is behind it. do you want to live No, soon words will come out of your mouth asking you to kill me?”

A low, subdued voice.

Garrett’s face was growing pale.

“Heh, heh, warlock! I don’t know any more than that!”

“… … what?”

“There was a strange pattern on their robes. Here, I have a bronze plaque with their designs in my pocket! Well, he said you only need to bring the remains from Decane! The commission is so… Cursor… … .”

From nob le mtl dot com

Garrett began to speak gibberish, distraught.

But I was able to figure out the circumstances.

‘Tsk.’

Warlocks, the group I am most wary of are them.

A group presumed to have summoned demons.

‘They said they killed Spencer.’

At this point, wouldn’t the black magician and I be inevitable fate?

“ha… … . Where is the meeting place with them?”

“Mo, I don’t know. They show up on their own when the time is right… … .”

Even though I was terrified, it seemed that I really didn’t know anything that I couldn’t say.

I rummaged through his pocket and took out the bronze plaque with the pattern of the black magician group he was talking about.

‘It looks bizarre.’

A picture resembling a demon is drawn and unknown letters are written everywhere.

[I found the traces of the black magician.]

[Main Quest – Traces of the Warlock]

[The warlocks are plotting something. Find their traces.]

– Traces of Warlock 1/3

The numbers went up.

I didn’t expect to find traces like this… … .

Now this guy’s role is over.

“Live… … Queue!”

squeak-!

Took.

I immediately dropped his head.

This guy can’t be saved.

If he was thrown into the kingdom’s prison, there was a high possibility that the kingdom would become involved with the warlocks.

It’s better to die here and not know.

After all, they don’t really know about the existence of me.

I put my sword in and approached Rayman who was lying on the floor.

“are you okay?”

“Huh, as expected, the shooter… Awesome… … .”

Rayman, who was barely holding on to his senses, lowered his head.

For a moment, I thought Rayman was dead, and my heart sank, so I checked his pulse.

Fortunately, the pulse is beating well. However, this guy’s shoulder needs treatment urgently.

I quickly tore off my clothes and wrapped them around Rayman’s shoulders to put pressure on him, and also wrapped around my waist to suppress the bleeding as much as possible.

I took a sneak peek at it before wrapping it around the waist, and it seemed that the intestines were also slightly protruding.

“Ugh!”

With Rayman on his back, the pain in his side aggravated him, and he almost lost consciousness for a moment.

“ha… … .”

If he went to his mother and Lesia like this, he would only cause great worries.

Also, if I showed myself like this for no reason, my mother could have prevented me from raising the sword.

never go home

‘It can’t be helped.’

I didn’t want to go to him even if I died… … .

* * *

A woman with golden hair in a ponytail looked at the eastern sky while cutting a tree.

Dawn was falling.

A small village located in the mountains a little far from the city of the Brilliant Kingdom.

From early morning, guests came to her cottage located in the corner.

“ha… … , ha… … .”

Two men came to visit.

One of them must have had a big cut on his side, and red blood was soaking all over his clothes from there, and the man on his back had almost a rag on his shoulder.

“Who are you… … .”

dump.

The man who looked at the woman with bloodshot eyes collapsed on the spot.

“hey! are you okay?”

The woman hurriedly checked the condition of the two and took them into the house with a frown.

* * *

A dim light flickers in front of my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the fire on the ceiling was swaying in the wind.

“Ugh!”

Every muscle in my body is screaming.

The right side cut by Pearson is insanely cold.

“Are you awake?”

A calm, yet irritated voice is heard.

‘I’ve come to the right place.’

When I turned my head with difficulty, a woman who looked much younger than the one in my memory was looking at me with a hard face.

A sharp nose, sharp eyes, golden hair, and golden eyes.

And above all, that annoying expression.

I immediately opened her status window.

[Francis]

– Attribute: Stigma double

– Skill: Lesser Divine Magic

– Strength: 5.3

– Agility: 6.0

– Stamina: 6.2

– Sense: 4.0

– Holy Power: 13.7

The general ability was mediocre itself.

However, she had the characteristic of stigmata, magic using divine power, and high divine power.

‘also.’

came right

The owner of the stigmata that only a very small number of people with divine power have.

And the clergy who are in seclusion because they don’t want to be bound by the church.

The only person around here who can heal Rayman and me is Frances.

Instead, she will have to pay the price she wants… … .

“Ugh… … .”

I got up and saw the wound on my side.

I couldn’t see it with the naked eye right now because it was surrounded by bandages, but judging from the pain I felt, it seemed that the dangerous situation had passed.

“me… Did you treat me?”

I asked pretending not to know anything.

“okay. I just turned off my urgent complaints.”

When I looked at my body, it seemed that I had really just turned off my anger. Well, this is enough to recover slowly and return to the original state.

“thank you. Maybe my colleague… … ?”

“He is also lying inside. It will take a little longer to wake up.”

I deliberately under-recovered so that I could not fully recover.

They must be using that colleague as a hostage to get information about us.

“Is that so? Anyway, thank you for your help.”

“Thank you, answer my question.”

her voice is a bit chilly

He seems pretty angry.

“Yes, anything.”

“Name, age, occupation, why I came here, how I got hurt so much. tell me everything.”

Her demanding needs began.

This is the biggest reason I didn’t want to meet her.
