Chapter 9 – Seris and the Village (7)

“Seris! Kara!”

Gedrick’s voice was heard from close range. I hid myself and found Gedrick’s location.

‘There it is.’

Found Gedrick. A bloody sword is in his hand. There will be no head-to-head competition. I drew my dagger and slowly approached from Gedrick’s blind spot.

‘Do I really have to go this far?’

The closer I got to him, the more I felt that way. Do I have to kill it? Can’t we just threaten or tell them to leave us alone?

I shook my head. He was the one who killed the goblins with his sword and pursued them. There is no way it can be solved with words.

I approached him, wiping out my weak thoughts and silencing the sound of my footsteps. It has reached a point where it is difficult to approach without being noticed anymore. I grabbed my dagger and charged at him.

“Ugh?!”

Hearing my footsteps, Gedrick turned to me. As soon as he saw me, he twisted his body.

“Damn it.”

I couldn’t dig deep. I clicked my tongue and swung the dagger.

“Han Yuseong! What are you doing! Stop!”

Gedrick shouted, avoiding my dagger. But there was no reason for me to stop. This is because now, with Gedrick’s foot twisted in the surprise attack, is my most advantageous moment.

I silently moved the dagger.

Everywhere was good. You only need to cut it properly once. Gedrick would then become increasingly exhausted by bleeding and pain, and would lose his pace.

But I couldn’t land a single effective hit. Gedrick flexibly blocked my attack even though his foot was twisted.

Eventually, Gedrick got his slack back. I distanced myself from him.

“Are you done, kid?”

“…What are you doing?”

“That is what I want to say. What are you doing? Rather, where is Seris?”

I gave an estimate without answering.

As for technology, Gedrick is much better than me. It’s enough to flexibly deal with a surprise attack from behind. You must have learned it professionally somewhere.

‘Are you a knight? No, it can’t be.’

It is a knight to easily hunt trolls. If Gedrick was a knight, I would be dead.

“Are you not answering? If you bring me to me now, I will save you.”

If the skill comes with me, what about the weapon? I am the dagger and that man is the sword.

The difference in range is significant.

I decided I couldn’t beat Gedrick. I rolled my eyes, determined the escape route, and immediately ran.

“You bastard!”

I heard Gedrick’s angry voice behind me. I didn’t look back Looking back, it inevitably slows down.

“Stop! I’ll take care of it if you bring it now!”

Hearing the sound of Gedrick chasing me, I ran without stopping. After a long chase, we arrived at our destination. I stopped running and looked back.

“Heo-euk…Heo-euk… You damn bastard…”

Gedrick gasped. He was 20 years older than me, so his stamina was not good.

“Are you aware now? How can you live…”

Gedrick’s elated expression twisted. It’s because I saw the wooden fence behind me.

“What is that?”

“The goblin lair.”

It wasn’t exactly the goblin lair I was looking for. It is a den that I encountered while running there. I just needed a goblin, so it didn’t matter where I was.

I inhaled.

“Goblins! Help me!!”

Cried out loud

Gedrick looked at me with a crazy look.

“Are you crazy about this baby? Let’s die together, right?”

Gedrick came towards me. They’re going to kill me or subdue me. But I stopped, frowning at the sound of footsteps behind me.

-Kirik? Human? Why are humans here?

The entrance to the barrier opened and several goblins came out. I told them with the most servile expression on my face.

“Please save me! That guy, that guy is going crazy, hurting the goblins, and then trying to kill me too!”

Gedrick must not be let go. He might tell the baron about Seris and me.

So I chose to gamble.

I confirmed that the goblins could understand my words when I killed them.

The important thing was how the goblins reacted to what I said.

Believe me and attack Gedrick for the best. If you try to kill both me and Gedrick, it’s the lesser evil.

‘There shouldn’t be any goblins I saved here.’

If they are there, my words will be exposed as lies. I checked the goblins outside to see if they were there or not.

I don’t know if that’s where all the goblins come from. It was like distinguishing ants.

I just prayed

“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard!”

“Hey, hee! Save the goblins! He’s trying to kill me!”

I quickly hid behind the goblins. The goblins were confused and unable to distinguish the situation.

– What’s the situation?

-I don’t know either. What do we do?

– Should I just kill them all?

-That would be great!

Fuck. For these stupid goblins, worry was a luxury. If this happens, you will have to stab Gedrick in a melee with the goblins.

Can I do it

No, I have to I also got the status window, but I can’t go back here.

I made up my mind and tried to draw the dagger. Until I felt a huge presence behind me.

I looked back. A goblin taller than me was standing there.

‘Is the goblin bigger than me?’

It wasn’t huge or anything, but the fact that the goblin was taller than me was a little shocking.

-What’s going on?

The giant goblin asked in a low voice.

-Kirik! Tribal chief. Humans are here! Kill it now!

-Is it?

“Oh no!”

-Hmm? Humans, can you speak our words?

“Yes! One thing I say is good! So I’d like to explain the situation…”

-Tell me.

I explained the current situation to the chief goblin. It was not something that Gedrick could intervene in, so he distorted and fleshed it out to his heart’s content.

-So that person is the culprit who killed his own people?

“Yes! That’s right! He’s a very bad guy. When I tried to inform the goblins, they tried to kill me. Because of this, I couldn’t inform them in time and the village…”

-Hmm… I see…

The giant goblin turned its gaze toward Gedrick. At first glance, he seems to be organizing his thoughts.

“You, did you really talk to the goblin? No, it was a human word…?”

Gedrick’s face was astonished.

-What is that human saying?

“I am astonished at the chief’s arrogant appearance!”

-Hmm? Ha ha! Yes, it’s worth it I’m the second tallest of my kind.

The tribal chief spoke proudly.

‘Is there someone bigger than him?’

I don’t know what happened to the goblins here.

-Good night. I will protect you

“Thank you!”

-Kirik? Tribal chiefs and chiefs ordered humans who invaded their territory to be killed.

-This guy knows how to speak the language of his own people. He has many uses. Stop talking and kill that guy.

-Kirik! I get it!

Except for the tribal chief, the goblins surrounded Gedrick.

“What a crazy case…!”

The goblin and Gedrick’s death struggle has begun. I watched the fight with the tribal chief.

“Uh? Chieftain, it seems that the other goblins are being pushed aside?”

The numerical advantage lies with the goblins. But Gedrick was far better physically and technically than them. The goblins were easily sliced ​​through.

Seven attacked and four died. The frightened goblins couldn’t get close to Gedrick.

Useless babies.

“Han Yuseong! You’ll finish them all and see!”

– What are you talking about?

“These guys also say nothing special and insult the chieftain.”

“When did I!”

“How dare you treat the tribal chief with a big asshole! You bastard, you have a pierced mouth!”

“This bastard..!”

Gedrick gnashed his teeth. I glanced at the tribal chief. Looking at the protruding tendons, it looked like he was angry.

-I’m going you guys get out of the way

-Kirik!

The goblins stood aside as if they had been waiting. The chief swung a huge wooden club at Gedrick.

“Kuh..!”

Gedrick dodged the club and swung his sword to cut the chieftain’s thigh.

– This human bastard! Dare!

The tribal chief brandished his club wildly, as if he felt resentful of the wound. It was an attack that could be fatal if hit even once.

But it was simple.

Gedrick left a scar on the tribal chief by avoiding it. The tribal chief was getting tired.

‘I’m sure this will end?’

I thought there was something because it was a giant goblin, but it wasn’t. It was just a big goblin.

I let go of my expectations and pulled out my dagger. Gedrick threw the dagger just in time to avoid the club.

The dagger flew towards Gedrick. When Gedrick saw the flying dagger, he flinched and avoided it.

“You son of a bitch!!”

Gedrick, who avoided the dagger, looked at me and cursed.

There would be no room for that.

– Got it!

Gedrick’s stance collapsed while dodging the dagger. The tribal chief did not miss that moment. He swung his club with all his might.

Kwajik!

With a dull sound, Gedrick’s body collapsed to the floor. The tribal chief frantically slammed his club at the fallen Gedrick.

Gedrick’s body was crushed beyond recognition. The satisfied chief sat down on the floor.

“Are you okay?”

I approached the tribal chief. The tribal chief gasped and shook his hand.

-Okay. This much is nothing to me.

“Fortunately, the. We will help you.”

-Okay…No, please.

The tribal chief tried to refuse, but realized his condition and responded calmly. I picked up the dagger that fell on the floor and helped the tribal chief.

“By the way, are all the goblins here? What about the others?”

-I left to punish the village with the chieftain. You should be enjoying yourself by now.

“So you’re saying all the goblins here right now?”

-Okay. A little faster than that… Bigger?! Dude what is this…

I pulled out the dagger that had been inserted into the nape of the chief’s neck and stabbed it again. Continue until the chief dies.

[You have acquired 15 Karma.]

It wasn’t until the notification window popped up that Karma had been obtained that I stopped swinging the dagger. I got up and looked around. The goblins glared at me in terror.

-Ki, the chief of the Kirik tribe..! Human! What are you doing!

I approached Gedrick’s body. Seeing the corpse crushed with a stick made me disgust.

I tried my best not to see the corpse and picked up Gedrick’s sword. I tried to cook and cook.

“I don’t care…”

Is it because I only used a dagger for two years? It didn’t fit in my hand more than I thought.

“It’s still better than a dagger.”

I walked over to the trembling goblins.

-Kki, kkirik…!

Delayed too much time I have to finish it quickly and go back.
