Chapter 45 – The Hunter’s Tale and (2)

#

Yuri runs ahead first. As if trying to preoccupy the high ground, he jumps up a nearby high rock in a few steps. A movement so smooth that you can admire it. He’s retired, but being a Ranger doesn’t seem like a lie.

“They are coming!”

I followed the sharp cry of the glass, and the black dot rushed towards me as if there was no roughness. The dot gradually changed into the shape of a wild boar.

The distance between the boar and the wagon is about 500…400 meters. It’s fast approaching. It’s like watching a dump truck rushing at you. The huge beast that charged as it dug into the ground had all its fur erect like a porcupine.

-Ping!

I heard the sound of Yuri standing on a rock shooting an arrow. But… Missed. The distance is three hundred. Yuri pulls the string once more with flowing hands…And then lets go.

– Kheung!

With about 200 meters left, the wild boar staggers down. An arrow sprouted from his back. Because of its large size, it looked like a small thorn. However…

“It is strange. This should be enough to run away…Come this way! Continue!”

Only see it now He is no ordinary wild boar. A small horn sprouted from its forehead. An intense feeling of déjà vu overwhelms the body. But worrying about identity later. Now is not the time for that.

“Lenny. Enhance strength, Haste, right now. And according to my signal, protection. Got it?”

“Yes!”

Lenny learned various divine magic from Kate last time. Unlike mine, Lenny’s buff only lasts about 5 minutes, but that’s good enough.

In the meantime, another arrow sprouted from the boar’s back. But this time he didn’t stop or fall.

“Mister Yuri! Backwards!” “Sure!” “Hurry!”

I left the two behind and jumped forward. An accelerated sense, jumping 30 meters in an instant. And open the torch.

-Fury!

When the wild boar saw the fire-breathing sword, it instead ran towards it.

Seeing the fire and running. It’s not a normal animal either. Great. I kept using the torch to get his attention.

-Kooooong!!!

A gigantic wild boar rushes at me screaming as if it is in pain from the arrows on its back. Distance forward… 50 meters.

“Lenny!”

Immediately, a blue film appeared 5 meters ahead. Protection was manifested.

Protection is a simple shield, but as simple as it is, its strength is proportional to the output of holy power. With the divine power of Lenny, who has awakened as a saint, it should be able to block this much mass.

-Quoo oh….!!!!

He noticed the obstacle in front of him, but it was too late to change course.

-Bang!

-Kheuuong!!!!

“Ugh!”

Lenny’s moans. The feedback that blocked the huge mass was transmitted indirectly. But I can’t afford to care now.

“Turn off!”

A shield that disappears immediately. The wild boar was stunned and staggered from the shock.

After using the ultra-vibration cutter, I stabbed the holy sword deeply between his eyebrows. A creepy sensation in your fingertips. The holy sword pierced his skull with sparks!

-Cooooo!!!!!

The sword pierced his skull, but he was still alive and tried to get up.

-Keruk… !

An arrow soon sprouted from his waist. Yuri, who had turned to the side before she knew it, fired a supporting shot.

– Kreuk, Kreuk, Kreuk, Kreuk….

But he was still moving.

Still not enough?! Then…

I let go of the holy sword and quickly stepped back, then used a message to the holy sword.

[Burn! ]

[ The Holy Sword opens the Holy Fire at full power. ]

-Fury!

-Kooooo!!!!!

Flames flowed from every hole in the bore. Eyes that breathe fire…Nose….Mouth. It’s a look that could be called the incarnation of anger.

-It’s… It’s so… It’s so….

The guy who poured out the flames came towards me as if he still had anger that he hadn’t poured out… And soon turned into ashes.

#

[Hey. Turn it off now ]

Boar carcass still burning. The wild boar had long since died, but the sacred sword was still emitting flames.

[The Holy Sword says we need to prevent danger in advance. ]

…This guy. Excited. He makes a lot of noise because he lets you use his holy power at will. Who the hell do you resemble to be so selfish?

-Pushk. Pick.

The holy sword stopped breathing fire only after it burned away his skin. Now I can get it back
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you recover it as it is while burning. Because the torch is a holy attribute, it didn’t feel hot when I touched it.

Still, he felt a psychological reluctance to hold the burning sword with his hand. You look hot just by looking at it.

[ Holy Sword「Splendor」]
[ Holy Power : 40 / 300 ]

This, this guy. So many batteries at will…

[The holy sword requires replenishment of holy power. ]
[ The Holy Sword needs to be trimmed. ]

“…”

Like a shameless guy. I guess I inherited this personality from the goddess, right?

“Eugene-!”

“You can come now!”

When I waved to the two of them to reassure them, Lenny ran ahead, flirting. Stable shaking. Great

Lenny ran straight to me and hugged me..

“Mr. Eugene? Just what the heck…”

…I’m not hugging you, I’m staring at the holy sword I’m holding. I’m a little embarrassed Is it because he cares about the glass behind him?

“Mr. Eugene?”

“Ah. You said you could talk to the Holy Sword, right? This guy got excited and made a fuss by himself.”

“Wow… He’s really alive. Holy sword.. Minutes? Holy Sword?”

Looking at this guy’s real face, can I really call him that…

“… I’ll ask you to replenish your divine power.”

“Ah yes!”

At that, Lenny squeezed the holy sword into her hand and poured her holy power into it…

“Holy Sword. Can you hear me? Can I use the torch too?”

Are you talking

“…”

“A holy sword… What the hack was that… “

Yuri, who had come to her side before she knew it, let out a voice mixed with admiration.

“A real veteran adventurer… Aren’t you? Or…The…Paladin of the church? Paladin?”

…How far can this woman be mistaken?

Turning her head, she made a face that dared to mix things up. She changed her expression like flipping a palm to the subject that she looked like an unemployed person who hadn’t been able to find a job until now. I’m all awkward

“Well…Long story…I’m a little tired. It’s late, so let’s go.”

“Ah yes…”

…

After a brief fuss like that, she turns off the lights and goes back to the wagon…

Lenny continued to slowly look at Yuri. As if she had something to say.

“Hey, there… Yuri-san… “

“Yes?

“Ho, are you… Not tired? If you are tired, you can get some sleep…”

“Ah. It’s okay. Even though she looks like this, she has confidence in her stamina. Besides, it’s rather refreshing because she’s moving her body. Miss Lenny, if you’re tired, go to sleep. I’ll wake you up if something happens.”

“…”

…Lenny. Looking at me like that, I can’t help it. I don’t have the ability to put people to sleep.

“…”

Don’t twist your body like that. If you do that, I’ll die too…

By the time we arrived at the village, it was already sunset. It is said that there is no inn, but it is indeed a small village. Still, it felt free and peaceful to see the little ones running around. The atmosphere is fine… Then why did the family die?

“It’s late, so let’s hurry.”

Saying that, Yuri tried to lead us to the road outside the village, but she screamed when the village kids looked this way.

“Ah! It’s Yuri’s sister!”

“Yuri sister! He said he left for the city and he came back!”

“My mom kept looking for it!”

The little boys made so much noise, and when they found me, they made a fuss. Why are you like that

“It’s a man!” “I’m back with a man!”

“Hey! You guys are not standing there!”

The kids run away after saying that. Was it to avoid these kids by trying to get out on the road? Looking back at Yuri, her face is about to explode.

“Uh…Ah. I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I’ve known them…”

Model walking beauty with a young wolf-like impression…Where did you go…

“Ruler. Come this way. It’s late, so hurry up.”

Yuri with a nervous face started to walk at a brisk pace. It’s not walking, it’s almost like running.

…

Yuri led us to a house on the mountain side. It looked like a decently large, nice house.

– Ujijik. Quick.

Yuri quickly, as if she had no time to watch, removed the pieces of board nailed to her door and turned on the light.

“I’m sorry. Go in and rest. I have business in town for a while…Please wait a moment. Do not go anywhere.”

Saying that, Yuri ran towards the village as if flying.

“…”

“… Let’s go in first.”

“…Yes.”

It’s ridiculous. He’s a temporary colleague, but he’s someone you don’t know, right? Can I leave the house unprotected like this? Besides, they don’t even give you a car.

…

The house was quite large for a woman living alone. No, on the contrary, it is not difficult to live with a large family. There are many rooms.

I wanted to look around, but it’s not polite to gossip about other people’s houses, so I sat quietly and looked around the living room.

There was fur on the floor, stuffed wolf heads and deer heads on the walls. It was cozy with a lot of hair, but I don’t like it for a woman… Maybe it’s because I’m a hunter? Still, I think it would be quite scary if I met those eyes at night.

“Wow…”

Lenny messing around around the deer’s head. Lenny seems to have seen this for the first time. But if you mess with it like that, it’ll make your hair fly…

-Thud!

“Hick?!”

The door burst open without any warning.

“Yuri! You’re back!”

And in front of him was a plump middle-aged woman with black hair. Her familiar face changes in an instant, as if seeing something suspicious.

“Who are you guys? What are you doing here?”

…I’m curious too. What the hell are we doing here
