Chapter 364 – 364. Struggle and Struggle (12)

– One –

Aww!

The warden’s blade flew towards Zwei’s forehead.

However, the tip of the knife does not fly in a straight line.

Woo woo woo woo!

It vibrates minutely and creates a blurry afterimage.

As if the end could be headed anywhere, it changes direction several times even in the blink of an eye.

Zwei’s eyes trembled.

‘Shallow water… !’

Was it because he was convinced that a knife stuck between his forehead would be a definite future if he stayed as it was?

Shashak!

Zwei lightly lowered her body.

At the same time, lightly twist your body to the left.

I don’t think of getting hit with a sword.

Even if the warden moved the sword gently, he couldn’t win with brute strength, and his sword and hand were already in a state of disrepair to the point of being no different from a rag.

Shikaaak!

However, he fails to completely avoid it.

The blade grazed his right ear,

Chaaaaagh!
Spam.
Chiyiyi profit!

Blows out his earlobe

The feeling of the flesh and cartilage that make up the auricle being cut off, and at the same time, the feeling of the cut surface being burned by the high heat emitted by the auror, Zwei felt in detail in the extremely high tension.

Gurgling.

Perhaps the severed auricle was burned entirely.

But I don’t have the time to check it with my own eyes.

Even the time to frown in pain, the warden seemed unwilling to allow him at all.

The moment he stopped rolling his eyes even for a moment, the warden was ready to dismember his body into more than thirty pieces.

DUeeeee!

Again, look with your eyes and dodge the blade.

The warden’s blade relentlessly aimed only at Zwei’s forehead.

Although this time he dodged by a sufficient margin,

Spot!

‘Kuh… !’

Blood oozes from the tip of his right shoulder.

‘When the hell… !’

Zwei couldn’t believe it.

I looked at the point of his sword and avoided it, but before I knew it, a long cut was carved on his shoulder.

Aww!

At the same time, a subtle sound was heard from a different place than the direction the sword point was facing.

He was fighting a speed battle that exceeded the speed of sound, so it was natural that such a phenomenon would occur.

Shashak!
Shuck!

‘Something is strange!’

However, this time Zwei senses a subtle discrepancy between the sound and the visible shape of the knife tip.

It was as if someone else had fired a slash from a different direction and angle than the warden.

‘The other way… ?’

Oh so so so.

Goose bumps all over Zwei’s body.

As soon as you feel uneasy,

Papa papa papa!
Shasha shak!

Zwei hurriedly backed away.

As his field of vision widens, he sees not only the tip of his sword, but the warden’s entire body.

“Huh. I thought you were a quick-footed idiot, but you’ve got some sense.”

Gee ying.
Woo woo woo.

Suddenly he drew a dagger and held it in his left hand.

It seemed that he was planning to dazzle Zwei’s eyes with the long sword in his right hand, and release a sword aura with the dagger in his left hand to deliver the final blow.

Contrary to his sloppy appearance as a commander, he was a very experienced warrior and a skilled fighter.

Jerk, jerk.

The warden moves slowly.

However, contrary to the apparent ease,

Shashak, shashashashak!

“…!”

His new arrival came very quickly.

He closes the distance with Zwei in an instant.

By engaging in a skillful number fight through the gap between the slowness of movement and the speed of movement, the warden completely blocks Zwei’s response with absurd ease.

After realizing that Zwei had little experience in confronting a true strongman, the warden was able to fool him with only rudimentary tricks.

“I can’t let go of the traitor,”

Shashak!
Wedge love!

The warden waves both hands.

Let the blade dance while drawing a gentle curve,

Tsuung, Tsuuuuu!

Two streams of sword aura passed through Zwei’s body.

“I’ll go first.”

“Uh, uh…?”

Squeak.

Zwei’s body leans to one side.

As if it had nothing to do with his will, Zwei desperately struggled with his hands.

Iron pudduck.

His body falls to the floor.

The bottom of his right thigh and the bottom of his left ankle are still standing on the ground, but they are completely separated from the top.

Because of that, his legs could no longer support his body.

Chiyiyi profit!

The flesh of the cut surface burns.

Even his two legs standing on the ground crippled in a deformed way, as well as the parts still clinging to his body, all cuts started to burn by the aura.

Then the pain comes,

“Ughhhhh!”

Zwei struggles on his limbs and screams.

Tup, Tup, Tup!
Chaeng-Geurang!

A knife with a lot of cracks is scattered on the floor.

Push!
Aaaaagh!

Compared to the size of the wound, the amount of blood he shed is insignificant.

The wound that the aura had been burned by itself had a great hemostasis effect.

“You rest there for a while. Well, if you die, there’s nothing you can do about it… Our competent Imperial Army soldiers won’t let you die easily.”

The warden mocks him, shrugging his shoulders.

The match was won in an instant, and Regal’s wagon did not even go very far.

When it was time to take a few breaths, he seemed to be able to catch up.

Tat tat!
Woo woo woo!

The warden runs.

Death, which had been distant from Regal for a while, begins to take a step closer.

– 2 –

“Z-Zwei…!”

“Damn it…!”

Hard!
Knock!

Eins and Dry grind their teeth.

As usual, it was clear that Pinot would have scolded them, telling them not to be rude in front of Regal.

But even he has no time to point out such trifles.

According to the loyalty algorithm created by brainwashing, it was concluded that finding a practical way out is a more correct way to express loyalty than being polite.

“… Hey.”

Pinot quietly and calmly opens his mouth.

In order not to arouse Regal’s anxiety, he pretends to be as calm as possible.

“I’m in a situation where part of my optic nerve is burnt out, so I’m on the verge of severe myopia, and my physical abilities are insignificant. It’s okay to say that I’ve been self-inflicted while doing stupid things, or it’s good to see it as the limit of a person with a sensory system ability.”

The gazes of Eins, Dry, and Echo converged.

“Even if I dare to lift the limit, it won’t help anything now.”

“I guess so.”

Drey responds in a somewhat sarcastic tone, glancing up and down at him.

Between the prototype developed in the transitional period and the first-generation power unit that was formally mass-produced, conflicts due to the loyalty competition toward Regal were commonplace.

At least it was an emergency situation like now, so the dry stops at that level.

Echo and Eins showed restraint to the point of not being sarcastic toward each other,

Shrug.

“…”

Pinot shrugged his shoulders lightly, maintaining enough reason to deflect her gaze.

“I heard that two of you, no, three of you, have developed a system that can enhance your five senses and physical abilities, right?”

“Then?”

Swoop.

Pinot habitually turns her head towards Echo.

When I look at it with my eyes open, I see nothing but blurry shapes and crushed shadows.

The fact that Echo was giving him a pitying expression was, therefore, never confirmed by Pinot.

“Echo. Go out with the two of us and stop that crazy traitor.”

“Okay.”

Echo’s gaze turned to Dry and Eins.

“I can only provide long-range support.”

“You’ll be fine. Don’t bother me.”

Dry spits coldly at Echo.

“I’ll do my best not to interfere with you, so you risk your life so that they don’t reach His Majesty.”

Like Pinot, Echo does not develop conflicts with them.

Looking at Pinot’s behavior, she seemed to feel something too.

“You don’t have to say that much, just do it yourself.”

“Joy.”

Eins and Dry grumbled until the end.

However, it was just a complaint about Zwei being helplessly subdued and facing a frustrating situation, not really expressing ill feelings toward the 1st-generation power unit.

“We’re leaving, so you can climb up on the wagon and apply.”

“Okay.”

With that said,

Click!
Shashak, shashak!

Eins and Drey burst through the wagon door.

“I’ll be back, Pinot.”

“Okay.”

Regal, who is in a state of panic, does not leave a separate greeting.

Instead,

I will sacrifice my life to achieve the glory of the Whiskai family!

The sound of the three women shouting the limit release trigger at the same time echoed throughout the carriage.

Clap.

The door closes.

Only the unconscious Gallo, the blinded Pinot, and the pale, trembling Regal remained in the carriage.

It was dark.

– 3 –

“Yeeeeei!”

“Kyaaaaagh!”

Shashak, shashashashashak!
Papa papa papa!

Eins and Dry screamed and ran toward the warden.

The reason why they didn’t follow Zwei from the beginning wasn’t because there was a very special reason.

It was because their physical abilities were not up to Zwei’s, and they were weak compared to him.

To put it more bluntly, it was to the extent that it directly hindered Zwei from dealing with a strong player like the warden.

‘Hmm… Even compared to the bodyguards mentioned earlier, they don’t seem to be that special…’

Tutu tu tu tuk!

Just by looking at the movements of the girls, a seasoned person like the warden could not help but see through that fact in an instant.

Because of this, the warden was somewhat careless.

Sureureung.
Woo woo woo woo!

‘I’ll cut them both down at once…’ … !’

In order to split them in half, I loaded the aura on the tip of my sword, and retrieved the aura I spread to expand my senses.

Because of that,

Smack!

“Oops…!”

I couldn’t avoid the water stream that suddenly flew from the blind spot.

His vision is blocked for a moment.

But he was a seasoned fighter.

In an unfavorable situation with his vision blocked, he predicts what will happen in an instant.

A suitable response comes to mind reflexively.

“Huh!”

Shush shush shush shush shush!
Fuhuaaaaa!

Regardless of front and back, up and down, he thrusts his sword closely in all directions.

The aura was loaded and released there, so it was as if he had become a hedgehog made of aura.

Chwack, chuaaaaagh!

As Eins and Dry slipped, they managed to stop a few meters ahead of the warden.

They look at the warden with tired faces.

As they stop, pebbles and sand dust fly toward the warden instead.

Those are,

Whoops!
Tick ​​Tick!
Passsss!

Grinded by sharp thorns of aura, it instantly turns into fine dust.

If the girls had not instinctively sensed uneasiness and hadn’t immediately stopped, had they rushed straight to the warden, it was clear that their lives would have been no different from pebbles or sand.

Weeeee!
Chuck.

“…”

The warden reaps the sword.

Whoa oh oh!

The sweat he shed and the streams of water Echo sent out evaporated in an instant due to the high heat of the aura emitted by the warden.

A haze rises around him.

Ominous turbulence roams around his body.

Gulp.

Looking at that figure, they swallow dry saliva.

The warden looks at them indifferently.

However, unlike the apparent composure on the outside, he could not hide his nervousness in his heart.

It was because the distance between the wagon ridden by Regal and the reinforcements of the second generation was getting narrower and shorter.

So he decides to abandon the regular method.

“Are you also servants of the traitor?”

“Go, how dare you…!”

“The petty traitor sneaked under your majesty’s umbrella, and it seems that he prepared thoroughly for a rebellion.”

Hearing the words of the warden demeaning Regal,

Hard!

Eins grinds his teeth,

“The traitor is you! He is the minion of weightlifting, and the rebel’s pawn!”

Bang, bang, bang!

Dry vents his anger by stamping his feet.

Flash

Seeing their reaction, the warden’s eyes light up.

The warden could think of a way to quickly organize them relatively easily.

“Looking at your insignificant skills, they don’t seem to be proper bodyguards… Are they prostitutes who usually wait for the traitor Regal’s bed?”

“What, what…?!”

Eins and Drey pursed their lips.

Blush

It seemed that they were somehow happy, and the warden was dumbfounded in his heart.

However, because of the situation, I couldn’t stop it as it was.

“Hmm… To say that, both of them are just, a little… Yes, it seems like they came together. A year is,”

Swoop.

The warden’s gaze turned to Eins.

“It looked like a chicken head, and the other year,”

Swoop.

His gaze turns to Dry.

“Oh… You really look like a dog.”

“This, this profit…!”

Their faces blush again.

This time it was clear that he was expressing his anger.

The warden seemed to have touched their complexes properly.

The warden calls for pleasure inwardly.

“This is true… Isn’t that what the traitor Regal’s head was like? If it’s not that, I think he has too low an eye for girls… Ah, if you’re a pervert with an abnormal sexual desire, you can fully understand me,”

“Yo, I can’t forgive it!”

“Kyaaaaagh!”

Papa pat!
Aaaaa!

Dry and Eins lose their temper and run towards the warden.

The warden holds a fishy smile.

– 4 –

Same time.

– That… Did you expect it to work this well, honey?

“Uh, uhm… To be honest, I’m embarrassed… It’s a bit strange…”

Upon hearing the situation from Margarita, José broke into a cold sweat.

This is because no matter how positive the results are, it is impossible to predict what the uncontrolled variables will produce.

Whether it will come back with positive results or bring catastrophe, you can only predict if you have all the variables in your hands.

Since that was the gist of Jose’s mercenary skills, he couldn’t be too happy to see what was going on.

“My love.”

– Yes, honey.

“If it’s not too much, can you read their past lightly?”

– It’s not that hard.

Jose hardens his expression.

He asks Margarita again.

“There is no need to ruin your body by groping for a long time. Read it for about a week, and if the cause is not identified within that period, wait and see.”

– Hmm… Yes, got it.

Despite her slight hesitation, José did not pursue her further.

After a while,

– Honey. It didn’t even have to last a week.

“Yes?”

Margarita speaks to Jose first.

“What do you mean, my love?”

– It’s just, I think they’re stupid? I mean…

Margarita tells José about a misunderstanding between the Warden and Regal.

Jose’s expression subtly changes.

With a look of disbelief, he asks Margarita a question.

“That’s why… You mean that the person called the deputy commander was trying to pass on the responsibility, and the person called the commander-in-chief was doing tricks to seize the initiative, and then this happened?”

– I understand you very well.

“This is really… It’s so absurd that I don’t know what to say…”

Jose shakes his head.

– What shall we do? Shall we go home like this?

“Um…”

At Margarita’s question, Jose looked down at his feet from the high altitude.

Woo oh oh

A cool autumn wind brushes his side.

Margarita waited patiently for him to organize her thoughts.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

– No. In the meantime, I shared the situation with others.

“Well done, my love. Do you think Maman has room for this ability right now?”

– Ask and I will answer.

It seemed that Jose could not stand the pounding.

It was because it seemed that if Urmama accepted her offer, she would be able to drive them into a rather dramatic situation.

– They say I can use my strength enough now.

“How much?”

– Enough to recreate about 10% of the fence I made this time.

“Haha! That’s enough.”

Jose whispers some plans to Margarita.

Margarita gave a cheery voice and told it to Urmama.

Urmama was also excited and followed José’s instructions, and they made it home safely.

All that was left there was a bloody war between Regal and the Imperial Army.

It was truly pointless bleeding.
