Chapter 257 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task

Chin, the guard who found me blocked me with the tip of a spear. I couldn’t stand the cold feeling in my chest.

“The Countess told me not to let anyone in today. Turn around!”

Unexpectedly, a powerful fist smashed his jaw, which had been talking freely. Rattling- I snatched the spear from the guard’s hand, which was strewn like a doll with a thread cut off! I kicked the stomach of the remaining guard who was extending his spear.

“Ouch… !”

Kuuk, the guard holding the spear while being kicked, but baek! He slammed the tip of his chin against the window sill, collided with the wall, and collapsed. There were a lot of gaps, so it was easy to deal with, but I didn’t know what danger might lurk inside the mansion, so I grabbed another spear and looked at Undine and said.

“Undine, will you come and see if there is anyone beyond the front door?”

Nodding her head, Undine permeated the front door of the mansion with a slightly transparent appearance. Swish, swish-I watched Undine’s silhouette swaying beyond the window and saw Undine crossing her arms as she slipped out of the wall and opened the tightly closed front door.

The mansion, which was crowded with attendants, was perfectly quiet. Turban, tumble- Climbing the stairs on tiptoe and looking around, widening my senses and looking around, I didn’t feel anyone, so I headed to Perisha’s room as quickly as possible.

[Sister… ]

Undine worried about Perisha with a crying voice. I stroked her hair and watched the center of the empty corridor far away.

Broken doors and shattered pieces of wood.

As I approached the wall, I closed my eyes and poured mana on the wall as if I was peeping into her room.

Chizuzuzuzu-

As I expected, someone was ambush against the wall. I even checked the outline of Perisha, who was quietly kneeling while being chained there, and saw someone flinching and trembling in the ambush, so I quickly opened my eyes and grabbed the spear pole.

Ugh-

The blue mana that formed at the tip of the spearhead, prepared to explode the entire wall, knocked on the wall he was ambushing. Let’s knock on the spearhead! The walls were shattered with a blue glow.

Wow!

“Keep!”

Booths, rising dust and noise in the room, lowering my stance and approaching the door, I found a knight buried in the ruins of the wall, and after putting mana on the edge of the spear, I fired the spear with all my might.

“What a shame-!”

Kaang, the fallen knight swung the gauntlet with haste, but the trajectory of the spear blade wrapped in mana did not change. The spear blade, shimmering in blue light, resolutely landed on the nape of the fallen knight’s neck.

Grasp!

Crying, soaring blood and rattling, the helmet decoration swayed helplessly, and the ferocious eyes beyond the cover lost their vitality. Fixing the remaining spear, I tightened my eyes and looked around the room, and found two knights hovering around Perisha.

Tadadak!

Then, along with the sound of boots kicking against the floor, a silver blade that cut through the dust brushed against the tip of my nose. Blood – Recognizing the small wounds and even the drops of blood flowing down the blade, I threw out the tip of the spear with all my might before the knight drew back the sword.

Tuong, unfortunately, the armor was pierced. Clinging my tongue at the empty sound that returned, I quickly withdrew the spear and fixed it. Reaching out with both hands and holding the spear pole with both hands, I slammed the knight’s elbow straight down on the spear pole.

Caang!

“Ugh!”

The blade of the sword plunged into the ground with the knight’s groan. After confirming that more than half of the blade was stuck in, I leisurely swung the tip of the spearhead and lifted the tip of the quivering knight’s helmet.

“Doggish… !”

Uncharacteristically for a knight, he swung the tip of his spear while listening to thick cursing. Baek! The knight’s chin returned with a cheerful sound, but the murderous eyes glaring at me did not go away, and I turned the spearhead and pierced the defenseless neck with the flashing blade.

“Geuk… Ku-Hup!”

Wow! Bubbles of regurgitated blood leaked out of the knight’s mouth, and blood gushed out from the pierced throat. Wedge liquid! I quickly backed away from the two-handed sword cutting through the gruesome scene, but the spear was shattered powerlessly.

“You bastard, don’t even listen to the Countess’ message and show off your small skills?”

Turbuck, tuck- The knight who stepped out with a firm step looked down at me, boasting of his great size. Perisha, who had been leaning her head on the floor, swept her floor with her golden hair and looked back at me. I smiled at the wet blue eyes and answered the knight.

“Fuck it. What kind of message are you talking about after you’ve done your fucking thing?”

“I wonder if I can spit out such absurd remarks in front of the Countess.”

“Even if I’m curious, there’s no way to know. Will you ask your father in the afterlife?”

Tuok, taking the handle of the sword the dead knight was holding, I scraped the inside of the knight as I pulled out the sword stuck in the floor. Whoa, after reading the rattling armor with a thick sigh and the eyes that would tear me apart over the cover, I stepped back, avoiding the sound of cutting the wind.

“Where!”

Pooh, the knight with his sword half drawn threw his torso and crashed into me. The moment the hard armor squeezed my chest, I gasped, but I clenched my teeth and endured it, striking the helmet cover with the tip of the handle.

Caang! The knight, whose head was shaking, stepped back and took down the two-handed sword he was holding, but he was able to block it with the sword he raised quickly.

Chick-Gig, Chick-Geek!

Kuuk, I was blocking the two-handed sword with my body weight, and I was blocking it with one hand. The battle was against me, but I put mana in my empty left hand and, Kuuk, grabbed the blade and pushed the sword I had swung down to the right. Paid

Grasp!

“This! An insignificant mercenary, a braggart… !”

No matter how hard he was pressing it, when the trajectory changed, the knight spat out a vulgar curse and slammed the ground. Like the knight who died earlier, the blade with more than half of it buried in the ground, I smiled at the reversed battle, I put the mana in my left hand on the blade as it is and wedged it! He cut off the empty knight’s head.

Caang, Gurrrr, Tuuk.

The head that fell helplessly rolled and stopped at my feet. After kicking off my heavy head and asking Undine to look around, I put down my sword and hugged Perisha.

“Ooh, ooh, ooh… “

Tears welled up in Perisha’s eyes as she mumbled and muttered at the gag that sealed her mouth. I wiped away my tears with the back of my hand. Dou-wook! Grabbing the gag, I cut off the rope with the sword that I tore off and set down to free Perisha.

“Ha, ha, ha… “

Freed, Perisha sighed softly before she came into my arms. I took a deep breath while dealing with her knights. Perisha, who quietly buried her face in her bosom, patted her head with admiration.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

[I am? Don’t I praise you?]

After telling me that there was no one there, Undine, who flew through the sky, glared at me with puffy cheeks. As I opened her right arm to make room next to Perisha, Undine, who immediately smiled, took me into my arms, and I hugged the two girls and quietly enjoyed their body temperature.

“Casanonihiing… “

Quickly, Perisha, who had her snot on her chest and shook her shoulders, raised her head and called out to me. Laughing at her cute figure, I grabbed her blushing cheeks and shook them, and Peri Shah, who had been dripping with runny nose, buried her face in her arms again with a groan.

[Seeing… ]

Bubi Bubi, and even Undine who imitates her sister’s mean words. After enjoying a moment of leisure while stroking their heads, I felt that my body had become somewhat more comfortable, so I pushed them away and said.

“I think I need to go see the Countess, would you like to wait here?”

Ugh, I looked at Undine and sent her eyes asking me to protect her, but Persia shook her head roughly and grabbed my collar.

“I want to go with you… “

“Yes, Undine will protect you, so be careful.”

Perisha looked at the floor with her arms stretched sobbing, unable to show a confident face, as if she was quite shocked by being subdued and tied up by her knights. Swoop, snooze-I calmed her down by stroking her back, and then I held out a finger to Undine.

“Should I replenish mana?”

[Yeah, I think I’m going to die because I’m having a hard time right now… Give me a little more!]

I used mana countless times against the knights, but I nodded her head and wrapped the mana around her fingers as the remaining mana was more than I thought. After kissing her fingertips, Undine closed her eyes and began absorbing her mana.

[Whoa!]

Gulp! She put her arms together and showed her biceps posture, and Perisha, who laughed at her tricks, seemed to regain her energy again, pat, pat – brushed off her dress and crossed her arms with Undine.

“Casano-sama, I’ll follow you carefully so as not to get in your way!”

Kuuk, I nodded at the eyes of the two girls, who showed firm determination, and took off the dead knights’ gauntlets, boots, and leggings. Thinking of blocking it with my legs if I had to, I grabbed the sword that I put down with a clicking sound after I had everything fitted according to the size of my limbs.

“Stuck behind you. Understand? Undine will protect Perisha as much as possible.”

“Yes.”

[Huh!]

Iron gruck, iron gruck-

Instinctively sensing where the Countess was, I headed towards the banquet hall with the support of the wall. As I was advancing forward, swallowing saliva in the cool silence, I sighed at the approaching footsteps like a herd of cows across the corner.

“There it is!”

“A rogue boat causing disturbances in the mansion, the Countess said it was okay to kill her right away, so don’t back down!”

I gave a signal to the trembling Perisha to close her eyes, but Perisha with her frightened eyes looked at me to the end and rejected my signal from her. Laughing at the odd courage, I rushed at the soldier in the lead.

“Stop! Membrane-!”

Suddenly, the silver blade wrapped in blue mana returned intact, leaving a solid bloody line behind. Retracting my sword and taking a stand, I looked at the man who was commanding the soldiers collapsed with empty eyes and said,

“Don’t jump? Come on.”

“Quaaaaagh!!!”

Relation? Senior? I don’t know what it is, but at the death of the superior, a soldier threw out a clumsily clenched shield and a sword with trembling hands at the same time and charged. Loud screams and tight posture! Kicking off my shield, I thrust my sword right into the staggering soldier’s chin.

“Kkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeuk!”

Less, less – like a penetrating type, the soldier whose chin was penetrated struggled with blood bubbles, but soon slumped. Clearly, grabbing the weakly falling shield, I looked at the two trembling soldiers and approached them.
