355 Isolation (2)

The body raises the body.

The skin is red as if it’s about to burst, and there are stitch marks here and there.

“no way… corpse collector… … ?”

Amelia’s remarks brought out a sigh of relief.

Yes, you were thinking the same thing as me.

Speaking of Noark’s Necromancer, he’s not the only one.

‘If it’s really a small number of elites, there’s no way this bastard will fall out.’

Abed Necrapeto.

A criminal belonging to Orculis who has the nickname of a corpse collector and specializes in many-to-one battles.

My head hurts already.

If he even came this far, wouldn’t that mean that Noark had a plan at all?

‘Ha, it’s been said that the rear has never been attacked since then. … .’

I can’t help but spit out slurs, but it won’t be a problem if I put off complaining until later.

Tadat.

He immediately dashed forward and hammered the skull of the corpse.

There was no need to even use [swipe].

Kwajik-!

A corpse that was crushed in an instant and bursting with blood.

Due to the nature of melee warriors, I had to turn it over… … .

Chewy profit-!

Whoops, seeing it mixed with poison, it looks like he’s the real one.

“Are you okay?”

“never mind. It’s okay.”

There is no need to get an immunity bonus with [Spiritization].

With only +120 poison resistance attached to Vol-Herchan, skin contact is sufficient.

Well, it’s a little itchy though.

“It seems to have started more slowly than that… … .”

As I was muttering something strangely feeling that my hypothesis had been accepted, I saw Erwen as hard as a stone.

“… … Erwen, are you okay?”

“… Yeah? Bar, what did you just say?”

“I asked if you were okay.”

“ah… ah! yes… … .”

Erwen nodded, but his voice was still dazed, and his gaze was fixed on the mutilated corpse.

“dead body… collector… … .”

Oh yeah… … .

If you think about it, you must have met your sister’s enemy now.

It was the Doomsman who killed Daria, but he also had a significant stake in the process.

Immediately, Erwen asked with a trembling voice.

“… Can you kill me?”

can you kill me… … .

I pondered for a moment and answered.

“perhaps.”

Yes, it would be possible to kill him if it goes well.

However… … .

“Still, we must survive today.”

I spoke firmly.

If you lose something while trying too hard to get revenge, it will be a major evangelism.

I don’t know if I understood it, but Erwen looked at me blankly for about 5 seconds.

Then he bit his lips and clenched his fists.

“… … I see. I will do as you say.”

After all, this makes me feel uncomfortable.

I approached Erwen and put a hand on her shoulder.

I don’t know if this will help… … .

“Erwen, don’t worry. Because I must return what I received to be able to release my personality.”

“… … ?”

“It means that they never forgot what they did.”

The beginning was comforting, but they were all sincere.

Dragon Slayer, Regal Bagos.

Corpse Collector, Abed Necrapeto.

Annihilator, Belvev Ruingenes.

It’s not that I forgot my grudge against them.

Just waiting for the time.

yes, so… … .

“wait a moment. It won’t take long.”

“… … yes.”

Okay, then I think that’s enough for mental recovery.

“Emily, but where did he go?”

When I asked the whereabouts of Alex, the assistant manager, wiping away the blood on her arm, Amelia answered.

“As soon as the body fell from above, it went into the barracks.”

Well, did you go to report to Raven?

But why isn’t it out yet?

In the meantime, corpses keep falling—

“Really, you did what you said.”

Oh, and even the tigers will come if I tell them to.

When I turned around, I saw Raven coming out of the barracks with the assistant manager Alex.

For a while, my expression didn’t get much better.

“I should have spoken out louder when the command team gave it away without a big deal… … .”

What do you mean, I regret it unusually.

There is nothing more wasteful than dwelling on the past.

“What about now?”

“I just got an order from the command line. He told me to lead all the troops of each unit and assemble them to the lake. It seems that they plan to fight back using the magic circle of the hull.”

It’s a gathering, not a fight.

I don’t know the enemy’s strength, so it seems like I’ve chosen a strategy that is as conservative as possible… … .

“Then are you moving right now?”

“no. Wait here for a while. I’ve contacted the wizards in the Mage Corps, so I’ll be gathering here with the explorers soon.”

Yes, when everyone gathers, then we will go to the lake.

After that, get on the boat and activate the magic circle to save time.

I don’t know if this is a good plan.

But, because there is no other way.

“Report the number of people.”

“Three confirmed fatalities and two missing persons whose whereabouts are unknown!”

“Two missing people… I can’t delay here because of two people who don’t know if they’re dead or alive. We are moving too.”

After waiting to process the corpses, the wizards in the corps gathered together with the escort explorers.

Then it’s time to head to the lake.

「Arua Raven has cast the 7th grade support magic [Neutralization].」

Proximity explorers, including myself, made their way with the support of wizards and rear-type explorers.

There was no hesitation in the process of moving itself.

Because, at best, all the bodies were still there.

It was difficult to stop the hundreds of explorers in the landlocked system supported by dozens of wizards.

However, the moment he was heading to the lake so quickly.

aah

The ground shook with a roar that looked like even a nuclear bomb had exploded.

and… … .

“It looks like the magic circle has been damaged.”

Fogs scattered by magic began to form in the air again, obscuring the view.

Well, it did have its advantages.

The alarm magic that sounded like an emergency siren had also been shattered, so it became quieter.

“What are you doing? Don’t stop!”

Soon, Raven used wind attribute magic to remove the surrounding fog and resumed movement.

Before long, the blood-red lake became close enough to be seen with the naked eye, and the wizards summoned small ships and floated them on the water.

That was the moment.

“Get on the boat one after another—”

“aah-!”

A man’s scream echoed from behind.

***

A desperate scream from an unknown man.

Since no one was injured in the battle with the corpses on their way here, the scream was particularly loud in our ears.

Is that so?

tuk.

Raven, who was the first among the crew to get on the ship, took back the half-draped leg.

and… … .

“… What happened?”

“Checking. It won’t be a big deal, so go first—”

“no. I want to know. So, Halo Deputy Chief, you remain here and lead the rest.”

Raven ordered the others to get on board first.

It seems that he didn’t want to get on the Holadang boat alone in the absence of information… … .

Wow, is this the military commander’s responsibility?

Raven has a high reputation within the corps, so I think you can understand why. Raven was a sincere and reliable boss.

However, the problem is… … .

“what are you doing? not following.”

Our mission is to escort him closely.

If he doesn’t get on the boat, neither can we.

“… … Where are you going?”

Raven answered my question briefly.

“It’s the back. Something doesn’t feel right.”

No, if you don’t feel well, isn’t it right to run away immediately?

It was a time when I had that thought in my mind.

“aah!!”

Another scream was heard from behind.

and… … .

“Deputy Chief! The enemy has been identified!”

Finally, the situation behind the scenes was passed on to us.

Surprisingly, there was only one.

However, no one took the current situation lightly.

Because that one person’s impression of wearing was very famous in this city.

“… Are you an old knight in dark red armor?”

“Yes. It has been confirmed that Aurors are also used.”

blood knight.

A criminal belonging to Orculis, who was born in Bifron, became a soldier, became a knight, and gained notoriety by killing the former Royal Knights Commander.

“Emily, do you know anything?”

While Raven was having a conversation with his subordinate, I also sneaked out and got information from Amelia, but nothing particularly meaningful.

Wasn’t it because you didn’t do outside activities so much that there was no contact?

I’ve only seen them a few times in Yeongju Castle, and even they say that they didn’t even talk to each other… … .

“Deputy Chief… … ! You must go quickly while blocking from behind!”

“no. If you really do encounter a Blood Knight, the damage will be outrageous.”

“However… … !”

“But what is it? If someone has to stop it, it would make sense for me to take over. Get on the boat first.”

“… … .”

“This is an order.”

“… Yes!”

The wizard, who received Raven’s order, salutes with a worried expression on his face and a moved face.

It was a very heartwarming scene.

If only we weren’t the only parties to this.

“In that sense, Erwen, will you help me only until the members of the corps get on the ship?”

Raven, who had finished persuading his subordinates, earnestly asked Erwen.

“You just need to buy some time. After that, we can use multi-teleport magic to get out.”

“Multiple teleportation… … ?”

Can’t this school learn this magic?

As I muttered involuntarily, Raven answered.

This side didn’t even look at him, but fixed his gaze on Erwen.

“I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn. If there was this… Because there may have been another way that day. of course… It was already too late, but it was already too late.”

“… … .”

“I beg you.”

At the repeated request, Erwen glanced at me.

It looks like I’m going to have to decide what to do… … .

“Why that man… … ?”

Raven looked at me with suspicious eyes at the appearance of delegating the decision-making authority.

“I wonder if I can even imitate a relationship like this… … .”

Well, he seems to have understood on his own, and since I don’t have time, I briefly checked one thing.

“What if we don’t follow?”

“You will be punished for violating the military law. I will never again be part of the royal family in the future.”

Uh, is that a threat?

But this is not what I asked in the first place… … .

“You asked what to do. If we say we won’t follow, whether we’re disciplined or not, are you going to go alone?”

“ah… … .”

Raven thought for a moment before answering.

“It’s impossible to be alone. Perhaps I will go with other explorers.”

Yes, there is no option not to go.

He’s obsessed with something weird.

After all, wasn’t it that there wasn’t altruistic tendencies at all in the past?

“Okay then, let’s go together.”

After making the decision, there was no time to waste.

It’s not too far from the rear, isn’t it?

When he arrived at the rear, where the constant screams were resounding, the first thing he saw was a mage who was sitting defenselessly in front of the ferocious Auror.

「Arua Raven has cast a level 4 secondary magic [Orbital Interference].」

Instead of blocking the Auror with an insignificant defensive magic, Raven casts a utility magic and twists the sword’s trajectory.

Whoops-!

A great sword that glides over the top of the head, not the neck.

“… … !”

Upon seeing this, he dashed forward, pulled the panicked wizard and rescued him from danger.

“Goo, thank you for saving me… Deputy, deputy chief?!”

“Rymond, you did well. Leave the back to us and lead the explorers to join as they see fit. It is an order.”

“… Yes!”

Soon after, the wizard led the explorers out of the place as Raven instructed, and surprisingly, the other party only watched us from afar.

with some creepy eyes.

‘He’s a blood knight… … .’

First, he took the lead by covering his upper body with a shield. And facing him, he looked up and down.

First of all, my first impression was that I was shorter than I thought.

Looking at her cancer, she looks like she’s in her early 160s… … .

It doesn’t feel like it’s comfy at all.

‘What kind of mood is that guy?’

A stout body shape that can be seen from the skeleton.

There is a sense of intimidation emanating from a small body, as the unique energy of a person is mixed with it.

The best of them was the voice.

“Gold mage, Arua Raven.”

Beyond the squeaky sound, it was clear that there was something wrong with the vocal cords.

With that voice, he spoke slowly.

“One of the targets to be killed.”

As soon as he said that, he raised his sword in a professional manner.

Well, we don’t even care, do we?

Looking at the red auror, like the nickname of the blood knight, I muttered.

“Erwen, [Spiritization].”

“What shall we do?”

any there.

Do you have one more thing to take out against the knight?

“rock.”

As soon as he answered, Erwen’s body turned translucent.

And the moment we held hands.

“The spirit of the earth dwells in the character’s body.”

You can feel the power of the earth dwelling on your skin in real time.

「Fire attribute damage is reduced by half.」

“Water property damage is doubled.”

「Poison immunity bonus.」

“A strong correction is added to vandalism when using a blunt weapon.”

“Physical resistance value increased significantly… … .”

“… … .”

Whoops, it’s been a while since I’ve been in Eli Baba (land) mode.

“The character’s physical resistance value is at least 350.”

“Damage is reduced by 50% only for penetrating wounds.”

Anyway, at this point, even if it wasn’t [Giantization], the 2nd level integument would have been activated… … .

“You’re doing something pointless.”

Well, if you’re arguing that you know how to write one.

Where can I live because I’m shy about tanks?

“die.”

Seeing the old knight closing the distance in an instant, I grinned.

who dies who dies

Why did I follow you all the way here?

「The character has cast [Iron Ong Castle].」

“The effect of [Evolutionary Outer Shell] is increased by 1.5 times.”

‘Knight Crusher’, which was also my nickname at one time.

The day has finally come to show its true value.
