running through the sewer.

squishy, crumpled.

Splashing the Chinese New Year water up to the shin in all directions, the eyes stare at only the front.

There were two men and women.

It was a situation where the man forcibly pushed the woman against the wall and pointed a sword at her neck.

‘Well, if you left me, I’d be fine.’

I energized my hand holding the hammer and shouted to echo through the aisle with all my might.

“Behel—la ah ah ah!”

It was decided that he had to somehow draw attention and remove the sword from Amelia.

However… … .

Push-!

Blood gushed out of Amelia’s neck as his sword was pulled out.

Ha, I thought you just put it on your skin.

You’ve already been stabbed

Even when I took out the sword in the middle, I think I put it in and pulled it out once deeply… … .

“… … Barbarian?”

He turned his upper body toward me and muttered.

He was wearing an iron helmet as usual, but it seems that he inferred the race from the content of the previous shout and his large body.

I used my body vision to briefly examine Amelia’s condition.

“Ker, Ker… eww… … !”

Amelia, who had a hole in her neck, was holding the bleeding site with one hand, and with the other hand she pressed against the wall, barely supporting her trembling body.

It just didn’t look good.

However… … .

‘I wish I hadn’t died.’

You cannot save a person by worrying alone.

The most important thing in saving a person must be accurate judgment and execution ability.

In that sense, he hit the ground once more and dashed.

Cheek-!

The distance narrows quickly.

As soon as we reached a point where our weapons could reach each other, he pulled out a piercing aura and swung it towards me.

Quang-!

I caught the auror with a hammer.

At that moment, doubts appeared in his eyes.

Since I wrote the auror, of course, I thought I could cut through the entire weapon… … .

“It’s a number item.”

Like a veteran who must have gone through everything before and after childbirth, he found the answer in an instant.

‘It’s one quick glance.’

However, I decided to only think about the positive aspects.

Because of what you said, it gave me a break for a while.

whistle.

While fighting with each other, he reached out with one hand and pulled Amelia in.

As much as it seemed that he had no energy to stand, his body was drawn effortlessly into his arms.

So, are you sure you’ve got everything you need?

“… It was her colleague.”

“Can’t you see?”

“then… You are my enemy too.”

What are you talking about—

“… … !”

At that moment, the brief struggle was over.

Luchenprasar gave strength to the sword and pushed me back. It was very unfamiliar to me because I had not been pushed out of my power recently, but there was no need to panic.

‘Strength is slightly superior to me.’

I followed the backstep as my body was pushed back.

Of course, he also dashed and followed.

It was much faster than me.

‘Agility is far superior to me.’

First of all, I am pushed back in the twin stats, which are the core of melee combat.

Even the passive and active skills that I worked hard to create synergy were sealed, and in the meantime, he was pulling out even me and his superior Auror.

‘I really don’t have a conscience.’

Aside from the grumbling, I quickly finished judging.

Truly an overwhelming spec car.

Even escaping is difficult under normal circumstances.

However… … .

‘You don’t have to use it right now.’

There was no big problem.

Anyway, to put it another way.

aa-!

Doesn’t that mean that it’s okay to create an unusual situation?

yes, for example.

aa-!

or underwater warfare.

* * *

A dark sewer with flashing torches.

A dozen men and women, divided into two groups, stare at each other as if they were enemies.

“What do you mean? Say it again, Dumbo.”

“It’s not Dumbo, it’s Durbon.”

“That or that. After all, didn’t you like it when you saw him smiling in front of that barbarian?”

“What… … ? This kid… … !”

Conversation with clear hostility.

Laura Lanewales, caught in it, thought as she squeezed her trembling sister’s hand tightly.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have followed.

‘Why are these people in this situation? … .’

Laura did not understand at all.

Obviously, it was just a small argument at first.

A former explorer from the upper part of Melta, who knew the secret passage using the sewer, could not find the way properly.

So, someone scoffed at this.

This was the seed of discord.

[Hey, he’s grunting. To a topic that follows for free without doing anything.]

Durbon, a man who was acting as the leader of the group in the dark, provided guidance.

No, it was more of a threat than a daunting one.

[And come to think of it, it’s a bit unfair, isn’t it? If you’re going to say something like that, give me money. Oh, if you don’t have money, you can give me equipment.]

[What?]

[If you don’t like it, just go back?]

After a few words of conversation, the group was split in two in an instant, and we got to where we are today.

“This is the last suggestion. Give me the gear and follow me, or go back.”

“Hey, did you think I would just curl my tail when I said something like that?”

“I’m bragging about being friendly with the guide. After all, you only need that guide to find your way to the city, right?”

“… … It means you want to see blood.”

“there… Everyone calm down… … .”

I opened my mouth thinking that I had to stop it somehow, but Durbon stopped talking in the middle.

“Laura, you stay still. Because it was better.”

“Yes? Well, how are you… … .”

“Isn’t there going to be a lot of money going forward? To get back on the ground.”

At Durbon’s words, the man standing at the opposite angle nodded as if he agreed with this.

“Yeah, if only half of them die here, the rest will be more human.”

At that, Laura realized.

That there was no such thing as a seed of discord from the beginning.

Contrary to what I was told on the ground, this way of thinking is natural for people from Noark.

It was just an opportunity to argue that they couldn’t find a way.

No, maybe he said that on purpose with the intention of this situation.

‘That’s why I tried to take him out somehow… … .’

Noark, the city of beasts.

Laura trembled again, feeling disillusioned with the city.

And he put his hand on the sword.

If it was a battle that could not be avoided anyway, the Durbon faction to which she belonged had to win.

Only then will I be able to go out and live like a human being.

no matter what he is

At least as much as my brother.

“Amelia, get ready.”

“Yes, sister.”

At Laura’s whisper, the younger brother also put his hand on the weapon.

One way or another, their sisters were also beasts that successfully survived in this world of savagery.

“Come on, let’s begin—”

The moment the opposing side took a step while holding a weapon, the Durbon group fired arrows and a battle began.

and how much has passed

aa-!

A rushing stream of water spurted out of the dark passageway and swallowed them up.

* * *

Quang, quaang, quaang, quaang!

It was when he hit exactly four times at regular intervals while running away from the rushing Ruenpraha with his vicious Auror pulled out.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah-!

Like a spider web or a broken mirror, the cracked ceiling collapsed.

and… … .

aa-!

It started pouring out torrents as if the dam had collapsed.

‘Water was really flowing over it.’

In fact, I wasn’t sure until I swung the hammer.

I just judged that the possibility was high through the ‘observed future’ through the eyes of Amelia as a child.

[At that time, there was a division in the group and a battle broke out, and water suddenly poured out of the passage. I was swept away, and my sister and I both lost our minds. And when I wake up—]

I wiped away my thoughts and hugged Amelia with more strength.

The rapids that would have been washed away by ordinary people already.

Both me and him were far from ordinary people.

Quang-!

When I instinctively covered my body with a hammer, a tremendous shock was transmitted on the rod.

Beyond the rising depth of the water, even when the water was already full to the head, he was wielding his sword.

‘Jinghan.’

As I was pushed back by five or six steps in a situation where it was difficult to focus on the rapids, I closed my eyes.

After all, vision was meaningless now.

Whether there was a light source or not, in this muddy water, I couldn’t tell even an inch ahead.

‘Oh, so this is a real mud fight?’

All of a sudden, such a thought popped up, but I quickly let it go.

There was something else to focus on right now.

‘one two three four five six… … .’

With the elbow of the arm holding the hammer against the wall, I quickly turned back the way I had come. This made my back defenseless, but I wasn’t too worried.

Probably because he just swung his sword, it was most likely that he just relied on his senses to attack the spot where I was standing at the end—

Sigh-!

Then I felt a tingling sensation in my thigh.

It seems that they are following them, wielding their swords recklessly… … .

‘Aww, that crazy bastard.’

but it’s fine now

Because you have reached your destination.

‘Fifty-one, fifty-two… … After all, luckily, I found it.’

As I walked along the wall with my eyes closed, as soon as I arrived at the fork in the road I saw earlier, I went inside and hid myself.

This was a feat learned from Rotmiller.

As I made the map, I was able to measure the exact stride length, and my ability to memorize the road once passed has improved a lot.

And there’s no way he has this kind of ability.

‘Okay, just looking at it, it seems like he passed without knowing that there was a fork in the road.’

However, I did not settle down and continued to move along the road.

‘Giantization.’

I quickly moved away from him, and when I saw that the skill started to work normally, I was able to take a breather.

‘Mac is running.’

Amelia is still alive.

And now, a passive skill that shows survivability like a cockroach, [Source of Fire] must have worked.

Injuries to the neck should not be a concern.

It was just pierced through a fatal spot, but considering the extent of the injury itself, it wasn’t that serious. One minute would be enough for that area to be regenerated.

‘Is the problem oxygen? … .’

In my case, breathing was not a problem thanks to the lung capacity increased by the Essence of Stormgash.

However, Amelia was a little different.

Oxygen supply was not working properly due to a neck injury.

I don’t know how long he can hold out.

I think I’ll just have to hold out for another 5 minutes or so. At that time too, the water burst out and it was said that the water began to drain out because the water source was exhausted.

‘… … Oh, I don’t know.’

After a brief contemplation, I listened to Amelia.

Then, while fumbling, he covered his nose with one hand, which he had barely found, and then kissed him.

Underwater artificial respiration as seen in movies.

I don’t know if this will actually work, but I decided it was better than not doing it.

It’s not like there’s anything to lose.

“… … !”

But were you still in your mind?

The moment their lips met, Amelia’s droopy body flinched.

It seemed as if the force was pushing me away.

therefore… … .

Awkward-

He pulled his waist even more to mean to stay still. Then the resistance faded.

Is this permission?

I don’t know, but I moved my lips, which had been stuck together, so that the water didn’t flow, and I put my lips together as close as possible.

and… … .

Whoops-!

I breathed in as hard as I could, until it reached my lungs.

* * *

After about 5 minutes of repeated underwater artificial respiration, the water depth began to descend rapidly.

When the water that was pouring from above ran out, the water was evenly distributed in the wide sewer.

Surprisingly, Amelia was still conscious by this time.

“Let go, let go… … .”

Well, it was a first-aid operation, but it would be so terrifying.

I let go and Amelia plunged into the water.

Oh, he’s short.

The water is still down to my shoulder, so I don’t think his feet are closed.

“Fu haha… … !”

The moment she reached out and grabbed her waist again, Amelia’s head floated to the surface of the water.

Well, I thought you could swim.

“already… I say… It was useless.”

“yes?”

“I… Ever since I was little… Holding my breath was my specialty… … .”

“What do you mean?”

He was gasping for breath and talking like an ant crawling, so I couldn’t understand him at all.

Wouldn’t you like to explain it again?

Or was it because there was an even more important topic?

I don’t know, but Amelia changed the topic.

“done… Rather, why are you here?”

Her breathing was more stable than before, and her tone of voice returned to normal.

Well, it looks like you don’t have to worry about your body.

“Why are you here? What do you mean?”

Asking the question as if she did not understand the meaning, Amelia frowned.

“I would have told you to go back. Did you not see the note?”

“Oh, I saw that.”

“by the way… Why didn’t you come back… … ?”

Wow, what are you talking about?

As I found out, it wasn’t something I could use just because I wanted to go back.

The words came out bluntly as I remembered the hardships he had suffered because of his sudden action.

“Because there is work left to do.”

“to do… … ?”

“You can’t go back before that.”

“What? Why are you so… … .”

What did you say.

It’s not like that, but you have to do it to be able to go back.

It was the moment I was about to say this.

“Hey, kid.”

[Giantization] was suddenly canceled.

Simply put, it means that the gnome came within a 30m radius.

I thought that I was going straight and lost me somewhere, so I looked back on the road again… … .

I don’t think they’ll let us go easily.

Therefore, I judged.

“Hey, you go first.”

“… … What?”

“Go and rescue your sister. That guy, I’ll do anything.”

After sending Amelia to her sister, I stop her.

Amelia frowned at the simple plan.

“It is suicide. He’s an enemy you deserve—”

“Then what are you going to do? your sister? Are you going to give up?”

“… … If nothing changes, I’d rather—”

“stop.”

I interrupted Amelia.

I don’t know how his will became so weak… … .

“Trust me, Amelia. As for that matter, I’ve been thinking about it to some extent, so go and get your sisters first. Do you understand?”

“However-“

“Write.”

But that’s what but.

I laughed out loud at the reaction I had never seen before.

It’s not that bad to feel worried, but… … .

“Why do you think I’m losing in the first place?”

The essence of the 5th layer monarch [Unspoken Spirit].

It’s definitely a good cleanser.

The rarity is unbelievable.

Even in the history of Lafdonia, fewer than ten people have acquired it, and as far as is known, in this day and age, there is only one person who has acquired it?

No wonder people are afraid of that power.

Without any information, it must have looked like a scamming skill.

It’s very strange to me.

‘He’s not particularly difficult to catch.’

He devoted all his spare time in his 20s to [Dungeon & Stone].

Of course, I also hunted the Lord of Silence.

So maybe the number of times… … .

“300 times.”

Well, maybe that’s about it.

Maybe you just didn’t understand what I meant?

“300 times… … ?”

“What does that mean?” asked Amelia.

I answered.

“I’ve eaten more than 300 times, that essence.”

Skills without weaknesses do not exist in this world.
