Chapter 258 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task
“Aaaaa!!!”
As he approached, wiping the back of his hand from the blood that had splattered on his face, the frightened soldier turned around and started running away. Just when you thought that was better and tried to approach the remaining soldiers, Paang! The fleeing soldier glowed and exploded.
Shake, shake- The pink petals filling the hallway, the soldier who had been trembling while sticking out his tongue at the harrowing scene rushed at me.
“Quaaaaa!!!”
The soldier who uttered the terrified eyes and screams from hell! Tuong! I shouted while pounding my shield like crazy, and I cut off my thin forearm with a clumsy look at the clumsy way of swinging my sword like chopping firewood.
Took
“Turn it off!!!”
The soldiers staring at me with watery eyes along with the desperate screams that made me suffer, and I even felt a strange sense of freedom! He hit the soldier’s head with his shield, and the soldier, who hit his head against the wall, collapsed with trembling eyelids.
“Perisha?”
“Whoops, whoops, whoops… ! Are you okay… ?”
“I am fine. Don’t come close, it’s bloody.”
Dori-dori shook her head and said in a trembling voice as she threw herself on my back.
“It’s the blood shed to protect me. It’s really fine.”
[Yeah, but did it end very easily? You seem to be much stronger than when you were trapped in the cave?]
“When is that the enemy?”
I laughed it off, tousled Undine’s hair and passed through the hallway full of bloodstains. Perisha, who stood up on her toe to avoid the blood stains and the puddle of her blood, was imprisoned. She hugged my waist and looked around her worriedly, but fortunately, no one showed up until she arrived at the banquet hall. .
Her hands trembled with a sense of resentment, tension, or excitement, so she gripped her handle tightly to control her heart. I stared at the door again while looking at the girls embracing each other.
[There are no traps, so I can come in?]
I opened the door with a snort at the relaxed countess, Stelgia’s voice. It was a drunken action, thinking that he would not have dug a trap when he knew that he was already approaching.
Kiyi Iik-
With the eerie sound of the door, I opened the large door and looked at the countess sitting on a throne-like chair in the distance, arrogantly looking down. Also, the two escort knights who spotted me took a step forward and looked at me.
“You arrived earlier than expected. I was supposed to wait with a cute girl… “
“Are you old and senile? What are you doing all of a sudden?”
In response to my arrogant tone, the Countess’s breathing became rough as she tapped her armrest. But whoa, she let out a deep sigh and regained her breath, and she answered me with a sharp voice.
“It’s just a simple test. There is a reward for Cassano-kun, and there is someone to introduce you to, so it was to see your capabilities, right?”
“Fuck you. Who asked? Even useless people are involved and my tongue is getting longer.”
“… Please, I want you to keep that petite snout. Just because I’m sitting here leisurely doesn’t mean I can’t twist Mr. Cassano’s thin breath.”
Despite the rustle, the pink petals dancing in front of the countess’ eyes, and the blatant warning, I aimed the blade at the countess, expressing the anger I had accumulated so far.
“I did everything I was asked to do, and I knew that she was a bitch without shame, even threatening to kill me first, but she is more bizarre than I heard. Huh?”
As he mocked the Countess with a smirk, her black gloves gripping the armrests vibrated. While snorting at the outright anger, the knights standing on either side of the Countess drew their swords and shouted loudly.
“Even with the countess’ favor, you’re stupid! You arrogant Cassano!”
“I’ve heard that voice before, isn’t it the knight I saved?”
As I turned the blade with a smirk, the trembling knight looked back and forth between the countess and me. When I struggled to save him, he always jumped on a collapsing ship and wielded that power at me. Deciding to trample on the knight’s pride, I spoke to the knight with a smirk.
“It seems that you are proud and nabal, and aiming a knife at the person you saved is a level. It’s so arrogant to say that you’re so reckless even though you’re receiving grace from me. Draw?”
As I sarcastically felt that it took a while to get pissed off, the knight’s armor vibrated. I smiled at the menacing eyes that flickered through the covers and glared at me without avoiding it, and the Countess let out her blatant sigh.
A sigh soon became a signal, and a knight with a drawn sword shouted and charged at me.
“Ahhhhh!
Footsteps covered with rage led him and I to meet. The wind-slicing blade extended toward the nape of my neck, but bounced off helplessly.
Chaeng, Chaeng, Chaeng!
The sword eaten by anger was more sophisticated than expected, and I, who couldn’t easily find a gap, exchanged swords with him several times. Slowly, slowly, holding a spear as if to surround me, I watched the other knights approaching, but came to my senses at the thunderous roar.
“Are you selling your eyes!!!”
Whoo! Sensing the knight swinging his sword while swinging his whole body, and the new model leaning along with the shimmering silver crescent moon, I lowered my upper body to avoid the sword blade and grabbed the twisted knight’s dangling helmet ornament.
“Huh?!”
Kuwu, as he put his weight on it and pulled it, the helmet that did not come off due to the chin strap strangled the knight, and percussion, percussion! The sound of struggling was clearly resounding, but the knight fell unseemly.
Chaeng-G-Rang, the sword that let go and the knight who stretched out with a sprawl, and the pathetic face, full of ridicule, I let go of the helmet ornament and kicked with mana-covered feet! Baek! Baek! I threw down the pitch.
At the first step, the floor was dug and the cover was dented.
“I’m sorry… “
The dented covers on his feet pressed down on his face, squeezing out his screams.
“That, that, that, that… !”
Finally, the moment the mana-covered feet thumped and crushed her face, the knight, who had sunk into her floor, wriggled her limbs like a bug and stretched them out.
Wedge!
The spear shot like an arrow aimed at the end of the neck. Pee-it, I frowned at the stinging pain and glared at the knight who took the spear.
“Isn’t it reasonable to wait until the end?”
Wedge!
Instead of answering, the tip of the spear that flew in cut the tip of my ear. Turn-up, let’s grab the window stick Huung! It was a knight who quickly reaped the spear, but unfortunately I was faster this time.
Squeak,
As the mana-covered sword blade cut through the spearhead, the knights who only reaped the baton were scurrying! He jumped on the floor and ran towards me. The smooth tip of the stick hit my chest, but despite the deep pain, I laughed and cut his side.
“Shut up!”
The armor cracked and thick blood flowed, but the knight did not back down. Tok, tok, tok- The Countess’s finger tapping sound envelops us as she watches the scene leisurely, and I, who was disturbed, let out my anger! The blade of the spear she was holding was thrown at her.
Fu-wook!
“Oh… “
“… “
The knight who blocked the spear blade with his trembling palm pulled the spear blade out of his palm and grabbed the short spear with his free hand.
Duduk, duk- I smiled at the pride of the knight who did not back down even though the dark red blood stains the floor, grasped it, and pushed forward.
Caang! Caang! Caang!
The knight’s shoulders trembled as he raised one hand to block the sword blade, which struck the spear like chopping firewood. The blade of the spear held high landed again and again, and the blade that strayed hit him on the shoulder, but the knight resisted me to the end.
Chunk!
The kneeling knight lifted the spear blade with trembling hands. After exhaling a rough breath, I raised my sword high and exhaled.
Awesome!
The knight’s head splattered on the floor with a slap and the sound of a splitting watermelon. Despite the cruel and scarred appearance of the banquet hall, the countess was still looking at me, tapping her armrest.
Whistle- A whistle that sounded like a chirping bird lingered in my ears.
The Countess rose from her chair with a fluttering cotton cloth and approached me making clicks, clicks, clicks, and I widened my distance and stared at the Countess.
“This is great, isn’t it? Of course, they thought Cassano-kun was just a mercenary-“
“Shut up.”
“Yes? Me? Huhu, did you say something to me?”
A rustling face, a rustling laugh, but the countess’s thick red lips, exposed beyond the face, were distorted with anger, revealing her white front teeth.
“If you did something like this, you have to pay the price. Aren’t you prepared?”
Slowly, he raised the blade of his bleeding sword and stared at the Countess. The countess, who had approached with her voluptuous body in front and her voluptuous buttocks twitching, looked at the scenery of the banquet hall, and then she said with a blatant sigh.
“I told you this was just a test. Where in the world is there an idiot who kills a test tube?”
“Shut up.”
I showed this in the actions of the ugly Countess, who only thought of herself, whoever’s life was sacrificed for her sake, who was in danger because of her demands. But hey, the Countess, who was looking at me with a sigh, said to me as if she was tired of it.
“Isn’t that too sharp? He will soon come knowing about the commotion in Hormia. When he sees him, he even greets him. Because if you are, you will be able to win his favor.”
The Countess, who spoke only words to say in a confident tone as if she had seen the future, soon dispersed. Lightly, lightly, the countess’s body scattered and rattled, and the wind that suddenly blew from the open window carried the countess scattered with petals and disappeared as it was.
Caang!
Throwing my sword to the ground, I calmed down my enmity toward the countess, suppressing my rising anger. She’s the one who talked her way, her gun Annie, her egg, her jaw missing, but hoping to be her bait to catch her, I stared blankly at her empty banquet hall.
