Chapter 365 – 365. Struggle and Struggle (13)

– One –

Shuck!

Eins’s blade aimed at the warden’s face and flew.

She probably wanted to cut off the warden’s tongue.

Along with a protruding mouth, bright yellow eyes, and red hair growing only near the top of the head, a flat, flat, straight body that is hard to find with the curvaceous charm unique to women, and even messy teeth.

She was a woman who looked as if she had been cursed by a goddess.

In addition, her intelligence was somewhat diminished by the aftermath of her torture and brainwashing, and she hated being called a chicken head by anyone.

The warden didn’t know that and said that, but he properly touched the detonator inside her.

But,

‘It’s a lot slower than him.’

Poof!

The warden lightly avoids the sword holding her resentment.

Wedges, Wedges!

“Die, die! Die!”

When Eins’ attack fails, Dry charges in promiscuously, brandishing her twin swords.

She also has an appearance complex.

She has a large mouth, an unusually long tongue, a wide face with a snub nose, a thick chin and angular chin for her size, large earlobes, and short, thick limbs.

Her appearance reminded me of an ugly dog.

Aside from the aesthetic point of view, her appearance was close to a kind of disability with a structural problem.

Because of her deformed appearance, it was habitual for her to drool or gasp through her mouth.

So when she called her a dog, or called a dog bitch, Drey hated her fitfully.

The warden teased her tongue and uttered only a few words, causing even her to have seizures.

Twik, dwii profit!
Shasha shak!

However, their anger does not guarantee the accuracy of their attacks.

The Warden steps lightly, moving her upper body minimally.

Swish, swish!

“Iiiiik…!”

Not even a single attack can reach her.

It was as if the blade was deflecting by itself.

Wedges, Wedges!
Snap, snap!

“Kiyaaaaagh!”

“Aaaaagh!”

They screamed and brandished their swords desperately, but

‘It’s slow, it’s slow… Besides, he’s sloppy, even worse than the rat-like man from before.’

Their movements were not systematic enough for the warden to be able to evade while thinking about it leisurely.

To put it more bluntly, it was a mess.

Even though it was hardened in real battle, it was too crude.

‘These are not systematically trained fighters like traitor-raised fighters. It’s like a child who suddenly gained overwhelming power… !’

At that time,

Shureuk, shureuk!
Chaaaaagh!

Streams of water flow towards the small intestine.

Hiss!

Lightly avoid it

This time, with minimal movement, move your body along the optimal circulation.

Sniff sniff.

‘What smell is this?’

The intestine detects suspiciousness in the stream of water that brushes the side of the face.

“Sigh…!”

Shasha shak!
Fault!

The moment the warden hastily withdrew from it,

Chaaaaagh!

The stream of water that grazed his face suddenly burst out.

Shoot aaaaa!

Particles like a fine mist spread out and landed where the warden had set his foot.

Chiyiyi profit!

The ground melts

Shiver.

A cold sweat flows from the back of the small intestine.

If he hadn’t noticed in time the sour smell of strong acid coming from the stream, his face would have completely melted into the earth.

Chureuk, churrureuk!
Gloop, Gloop.

Strongly acidic liquid roams around the small intestine like a living snake.

A woman on the roof of a running carriage seemed to be controlling this strong acid stream from hundreds of meters away.

‘I can’t even memorize a spell while maintaining concentration in such an environment! You can do this nonsense without casting a spell? Besides, it’s not just a one-time thing, it’s constantly manipulating the water stream? This is absolutely not the scope of sorcery or magic… !’

Oh so so so.

A cold sweat breaks out on the back of the small intestine.

He comes to a terrible conclusion.

‘How many superhumans does that traitor have under his command… ? No, are you even going to make a superman… !’

The conclusions he drew were not completely true to the facts.

However, from the fact that there were somehow sloppy powerhouses around Regal, the warden couldn’t get rid of the idea that Regal was mass-producing powerhouses.

‘It must be stopped! That traitor must be punished here… ! For the sake of His Majesty, even for the sake of this empire… !’

Zuzie.

The warden bites his lip.

‘We cut them down at once, and even secure the recruits of the traitor… !’

Clearing my mind,

Woo woo woo woo!

Raise the aura to the fullest.

“Kuh, kuhh…!”

“Monster…”

Eins and Dry looked at him with tired faces.

Feeling ominous, he hesitated and retreated.

As the small intestine releases aura to the limit,

Tsupat!
Support position!

A discharge-like phenomenon occurs around his body.

Parching!

A blue glow flickers in his eyes.

“Haaaaa…!”

Paperweight!
Tsupat!

At the same time as sparks fly,

Squeak.

His new form dissolves in the air.

Disappear

Swish swish!

“Where are you?!”

“Come out!”

Eins and Dry looked around.

The appearance of the warden is nowhere to be seen.

“This, how can I stop this…!”

“Do, you have to run away!”

Two people get scared.

The moment they turned their backs and tried to run away,

Dismissed!
Tsupapapat!

With a slight rupture,

Tsuung, Tsuung!

The air is shaking.

Spatula, spatula, spatula, spatula!

Immediately after hearing the sound of something being cut,

“Ughhhhh!”

“Ah ah ah ah!”

Patter.
Dump.

They become unable to escape.

They scream and struggle, but their bodies betray their will.

It was because their limbs had been severed near the root and were lying on the floor.

The body and mind play separately.

Body and body are mixed.

Since they were wearing black leather clothes made of the same material, it was difficult to tell which one had fallen from whose body at first glance.

Chee Hee Hee.

“Turn off, turn off…!”

“Keep it off…!”

Along with smoke, the smell of burning meat at extremely high temperatures also rises from the wound.

Their eyes roll

As the cut is torn, the blood no longer flows.

Won’t die soon

Squeak.
Passeuk!

Next to them, the body of the warden reappears.

Gloop, Gloop.
Shrrrr

As if to protect them, a strong acidic liquid swirls around him.

However, because he was so close to them, he couldn’t attack the warden recklessly.

The warden also couldn’t finish them off with certainty.

No, it doesn’t.

Papa papa papa!
Hey hey profit!

I just run towards Regal’s carriage.

He did not forget that they were only obstacles to his true goal, and that Regal was truly a more important goal.

Charreuk, charreureuk!
Whoops!

Strongly acidic liquid follows him.

However, the distance gradually widens.

Even when rescuing Gallo, her stream never quite matched the top speed of the elite combat agents.

It was obvious that the warden had a much stronger physical ability than them, as he had a mighty force that was embarrassing to compare with them.

Therefore, it was only natural that the stream of water she was manipulating could not follow his footsteps.

Shrrrr!

But she doesn’t stop manipulating the water stream.

But lest it become meaningless,

Shureuk, shureuk!
Shoot aaaaa!

It shoots streams of water from the front and sides of the small intestine, even over her head.

“…”

The warden calmly glared at the stream of water.

I’m contemplating whether to choose the fast route or the safe route.

Make a decision.

Even if it is somewhat risky, he chooses the way to capture Regal quickly.

Woo woo woo woo!

With the aura wrapped around the sword and his body,

Spot!

Become a ray of light,

Aaaaa!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Regal gallops with all her might towards the wagon she is riding in.

Shoot, shoot, shoot!
Chaaaaa!

Strongly acidic water stream pours toward the small intestine.

Maybe it’s a deadly poison.

However, the nature of the stream is not very important.

More importantly, capturing Regal alive.

I forgot about the merits and demerits of the warlord.

Aaaaagh!

Run

Shoot aaaaa!
Shashashashashak!

Avoid

Toward the wagon, run south.

Even though he wears an aura all over his body, he doesn’t forget that it can’t be a complete defense.

Dig in the part with the least amount of water.

However, as if the water stream had a life, it persistently aims for the warden’s life.

“Sigh…!”

Shoot aaaaa!

A stream of water stretches towards the place he dug in.

The distance is shortened

In an instant, the entire defense is surrounded.

“Haaaaa!”

At the same time as the warden exhaled,

Whoa!
Aaaaagh!

The aura he was wearing exploded.

Instantly pushes the water out.

Fuhuaaaaagh!

Water droplets scatter in all directions.

“Haaaaa!”

Shush, shush shush shush!
Woo woo woo woo!

He swings his aura-clad sword like a windmill.

In order to remove the pouring water, I put an aura on the sword wind and shoot it in all directions.

However, it is not enough to block all the droplets.

Strongly acidic liquid splashed on the exposed skin of the forearm,

Patter.

In an instant, red spots form on his skin.

“Kuh…!”

Chi-Ik, Chi-Ik!

Along with burning pain, acrid smoke rises.

Whii-ik, whi-i-ik!
Woo woo woo woo!

I swing my arm to shoot out the sword wind, but

Chiyiyi profit!

As if the liquid had a strong viscosity, it showed no signs of dripping even with violent movements.

Rather, it burns even more violently.

It spreads.

Hard!

The warden gritted his teeth,

Spot!
Rumble!

Thinly slice the burning flesh.

By removing the source of the burn before it spreads further, you are freed from the constant threat.

However, the pace slows down a bit.

Without missing it,

Gulleong, Gulleong!
Shrrrr
Chaaaaagh!

Echo fires more water.

Suddenly, the warden is surrounded.

But far from stopping, he

“Huh!”

Cooong!

After hitting the ground hard,

Fuhuaaaaagh!
Wooooong!

Raises dust and jumps into the air.

Shoot, shoot, shoot!
Charleureuk!

A stream of water follows him closely.

Its movement is reminiscent of a giant snake.

Pang, Pang, Pang!

The warden emits an aura with the soles of his feet.

Get a boost from it,

Poof, Whiririk!
Shoot aaaaa!

Turn around a few times in the air.

By doing so, he evades the streams of water that are closely following him.

However, there was a limit to gaining momentum in the air,

Charreuk, charrrr!
Shoot aaaaa!

Again besieged by the stream of water.

As is the case with wingless things, the warden plummets downward.

In the air with no place to escape, he is completely surrounded by water streams.

Moment of despair,

“Haaaaa!”

Whirly Rick!
Aaaaa!

The small intestine rotates the body violently.

That moment,

Visor!

With the sound of breaking glass,

Pass suk!

The dagger he drew shattered before he knew it,

Papa papa papa!
Wooooo!

Shoots metal fragments with an aura in all directions.

They strike the streams precisely,

Boom, puffer puffer!
Shoot, shoot, shoot!

Explode with them

They all explode before they even reach the body of the small intestine.

It was difficult to cut them all off with a single sword, so the warden burst the dagger and cut all the streams of water with the fragments.

The director, a seasoned matchmaker, does not miss the momentary void created by it.

Fault!

Landed on the floor in an instant,

Papa papapat!
Aaaaa!

Run towards Regal’s carriage.

Close the distance with the wagon in an instant.

The wagon grows.

Echo’s frightened eyes widen.

Hotch, hotch!
Hee hee!
Climb up, run up, run up, run up!
Kurrrr!

“Run! I mean run, damn you…!”

You can clearly hear the agent sitting in the driver’s seat, terrified, bloodying the horse’s rump.

Chow Chow, Chow Chow!

Echo shoots a stream of water towards the warden, but the warden doesn’t even think about avoiding it.

It was because I was trying to attack him, but I was so close that the carriage could be sprayed with strong acidic liquid.

Just as expected,

“Tch…!”

Echo clicks her tongue and deflects the flow of water.

Just by getting close to the carriage, the warden was tantamount to neutralizing Echo by taking Regal’s body as a hostage.

“Go away!”

Poof!

Echo throws a dagger at the warden.

Chuck.

The warden catches it with his hand.

Holding it tight,

Awesome love!

Echo is thrown towards the forehead.

Although she reflexively raised her hands to cover her face,

Hooked!

“Kyaaaaah

The blade of the dagger loaded with an aura pierces both of her hands at the same time.

She is incapacitated

‘At las… !’

With no obstruction left, joy spreads across the warden’s face.

My heart is excited at the thought of capturing Regal.

Papapat!

The warden leaps toward the carriage.

To split the outer wall of the carriage, I raise my sword over my shoulder.

The moment I was about to hit the wagon gently,

Woo woo woo woo!

A line of sword auras flew.

Piercing the warden’s negligence permeated in an instant,

Squeak.

“…!”

Dig into his shoulder blades

Took.
With chaeng.

The warden’s right arm holding the sword falls out of the fierce pursuit procession toward Regal.

Stumble.
Dump.

After losing balance for a moment, the small intestine falls to the floor.

I barely straightened my posture, but I got further away from the carriage again.

“Heuk!”

Cadde deuk!

Looking at the carriage, the warden gritted his teeth.

I couldn’t give up after coming this far.

“Aaaaa!”

Tat tat tat!

Even though one of his arms has fallen off, he runs toward the carriage again.

Slap!

Raises his left hand.

Whoa!

An aura was wrapped around his entire left arm.

Woo woo woo!

He slams his left fist down at the carriage.

Just before his fist touches the outer wall of the carriage,

Shashak!

Someone gets in his way,

Snap!
Awesome!

Even cut off his left arm.

“Ah…”

In pity, a sigh escapes from the warden’s mouth.

Dump.

He sits down

Climb up, run up, run up, run up!
Kururrrr!

The carriage moves away.

Rumble, rumble.

The warden only then realizes that blood is welling up from both of his shoulders.

Unable to overcome the feeling that the world is spinning,

Swoop.

The warden lowers his head.

As if light and darkness were mating in front of his eyes, his vision flickered, faded, and distorted.

Along with the exhaustion caused by the aftereffects of squeezing the aura to the limit, the symptoms of anemia due to excessive bleeding overlap.

He was completely incapacitated.

Maybe because of the frustration caused by failure, he let go of his will to live.

“Did you want to be told that you were good even though you were enemies?”

Someone’s calm voice pierces the warden’s ears.

Swoop.

The warden is on his knees, struggling to raise his head in the direction of the sound.

But his vision went mad, and all he could see was a fragmented blob.

Food.

“What bullshit is that?”

The warden smiles self-deprecatingly and replies.

A voice leaked out of his mouth as if he had completely lost his nerves, to the point where he couldn’t believe he was the one who had been chasing madly until just now.

“In order to achieve the sole purpose of capturing my lord, I abandoned his subordinates, abandoned his right arm, abandoned his left arm, and finally failed and even gave up his life.”

“Heh… That’s how it happened…”

Aaaaa!
Jang Goo Woo Woo!
These traitors aaaaagh!

The cries of the Imperial Army soldiers echoed in the distance.

As the reinforcements of the rebels, disguised as latecomers, entered the war in earnest, it seemed that the defeat of the Imperial Army had deepened.

“I wondered where such tenacity came from, so I just asked you. Of course, it’s also an act of formality to listen to your will, the enemy commander.”

“Is it.”

No.

Perhaps it is the rebels who are screaming.

Just because he was in danger, his lieutenants and subordinates couldn’t help but cry out in sorrow, and it may be that his proud imperial army is seizing the victory.

But his vision was so blurry, he couldn’t be sure of anything.

No matter what, there was a lot of such feelings.

“Even though I failed, I did my best, so are you satisfied with that?”

“Maybe…”

“I see. Now that you’re here, those things have nothing to do with you.”

The man who cut off the warden’s arms looked as if he was ruminating on the life of a dying man in order to recite a eulogy.

“My name is Absinthe.”

“Is that so? Before I die, I know at least the name of the person who will take my life. This is a real honor.”

The warden gives a light sarcasm to the absinthe.

His voice had faded a lot.

It seemed that the time had come for his spirit to leave his body and head to the side of the goddess.

“Before I put your death to good use, let me say one last thing.”

“What…?”

Hearing Absinthe’s words of using his own death, the warden’s mind flashed.

He blinks and desperately tries to clear his mind.

But absinthe seemed to have no intention of stopping.

“What is that?”

“I salute you for your foolishness.”

Squeak.

A knife of absinthe passes through his throat.

“Greuk, geureuk…!”

The warden licks his mouth.

However, only the sound of boiling blood lingers around his mouth, and no proper words come out.

Thus, the unfinished half-question became his will.

Tup.
Swoop.

Absinthe grabs the warden by the hair and picks him up by the neck.

Fuhuaaaaagh!

Then, a fountain of blood shoots up from his neck.

Tick, drop, drop.

Absinthe lifted up the head of the small intestine where fresh blood dripped.

His chest swells to the fullest.

[Master’s first sword, I, Absinthe, killed the enemy general!]

His aura-laden voice swept across the battlefield.

Aaaaa!

Shouts echo from the Regal side.

The battlefield falls into a lull for an instant.

[There is no chance of winning for you! Lay down your weapons and surrender! I will guarantee the lives of those who surrender!]

It was unclear whether the warden heard his cry.

However, judging from the fact that only his severed head was held in someone else’s hand and his facial expression was distorted, it was clear that his end was not peaceful.
