Chapter 43 – Are You… Dying Today? – 3

A life-and-death struggle has begun.

Of course, the life referred to here did not mean my own life. At first, it was a fight between Cheshire, who risked his life, and Balrog, who risked his life, but it is not wrong.

I quietly watched the fight between the two from a very close range while remaining hidden.

‘To be honest, Chess isn’t at all good at hand-to-hand combat.’

Even if you look at the fact that Ermethylene, which was given as the main weapon, was a hammer.

Cheshire was quite good at hand-to-hand combat wielding a hammer while moving agilely. However, that advantage is also very dull because he is wearing heavy armor.

The balrog swung the helbird like a feather, and Cheshire focused only on dodging those attacks.

Quaang—!

A pit formed on the ground where the Helbird hit. Certainly, it seems that he is a trader in terms of strength, but unfortunately, if his head is bad, his body suffers a little too much.

I walked around with my hands behind my back and watched the two fight.

The reason for suppressing the desire to defeat the Balrog, the reason for not immediately helping Cheshire.

It wasn’t because I was lazy or bad. I thought that looking at the attacks of the Balrog would be helpful when dealing with other knights.

In the meantime, Cheshire’s eyes met.

-Help me! I want help! Do.Wa.Dal.La.Nyang!

Those eyes seemed to be talking to me. We only made eye contact, but it felt like my ears were noisy.

Conversely, what about the Balrog’s eyes?

‘He’s ignorant.’

He had the kind of look that ignorant, strong people tend to have.

I think there was a saying that an ignorant person who has faith while possessing strong power is scary. Maybe that’s why the Balrog’s subordinate knights are afraid of him.

Bang! Bang! Caang!

Cheshire’s evasion continued, and I left the trajectory of Balrog’s attack on the drawing paper in my head.

The trajectory of the attack is also simple. For example, it can be seen as the same as the Kalimans who attacked us before.

With the thought that it would be okay because it is strong, it was a ‘ignorant’ and ‘simple’ attack route that did not study the trajectory at all.

‘I’m suddenly angry.’

After looking at it like this, no matter which side I looked at, I couldn’t defeat the Balrog.

But why can’t such a guy be forgiven? Is it funny that you didn’t graduate from the academy? It was absurd.

I could have graduated from the academy too. If only there had been money, if only there had been a little more welfare for the common people.

“You will die today.”

Finally I got into the fight.

◈

Courage!

When I slipped my foot, the Balrog fell gracefully. It was funny, like a bull that fell without knowing why.

The balrog immediately got up from his seat, but it seemed that it was difficult to get rid of the doubtful expression.

“…What?”

The Balrog asked Cheshire.

I’m just embarrassed Cheshire was only focusing on avoiding action, but he was the one who suddenly fell.

I opened my mouth instead.

“I was so impatient that my legs got twisted by myself. Or are you afraid of it now? Huh?”

But the balrog himself would know. That he had never twisted his leg.

“You’re rolling your hair again!”

The balrog charged at me with even more force.

Still, if he had been just a farming bull until now, he seemed to have become a bullfighting bullfighter. The results would be disastrous.

“Didn’t you roll the hair balrog?”

“…”

Hung! Whoo!

The Balrog didn’t even seem to have the time to answer because he was swinging the Helbird as hard as he could. There was plenty of room on this side, so he continued talking.

“How could he have thought of sending a steel wagon full of gunpowder? He’s also a knight. It’s Balrog’s favorite carriage, so what should I do?

I jumped into the air muttering, and kicked the back of the balrog’s head with a loud sound.

Courage!

Once more the Balrog rolled to the floor and stood up. Whether he was fine or not, the knights under his command would have recognized that the Balrog was losing.

Still, Balrog seems to have pride in his own way, but he hasn’t shown any ugly behavior yet…

“My, I lost! Let’s stop first!”

As soon as I thought that, I spat out ugly words. Is praying for help in the face of an unforgivable opponent the chivalry that this guy calls out?

“Nope?”

I moved cleverly. While not overlapping the movement path with Cheshire, I put my fists and kicks only at the point where Cheshire seemed to be attacking quickly.

Because it was an attack that added mana to the body, it was impossible to block the attack with only armor.

“Cheer, cooer!”

“?”

It seems that it was not that difficult for the body to collapse after the mind collapsed. At all, the Balrog sat on his knees, clutching his stomach.

He even shouted this while pointing at Cheshire with his index finger.

“Hey, kill this guy! You continue to attack even after the duel is over!”

Even the knights under his command wouldn’t be unaware that what the Balrog was doing was ugly. However, since it was an order that could not be disobeyed, they began to step forward one by one.

‘Are these things crazy?’

Will you be quiet just because you say me?

No way. I immediately took out the trivi that was tucked into my waistband and fired at the attacking knights.

‘The bullets used are explosive type.’

If you recall Alice’s senses, it wasn’t that difficult to put explosive circuits on bullets. She fired the bullet quickly and accurately.

Kwaaang—!

Because it was black armor, it was hard to see that it was scorched by the explosion, but the knights who rushed at it were caught in the explosion and turned into black charcoal.

“…”

It is only natural to become stiff after seeing a colleague suffer an attack that he did not even know what it was.

Anyway, these guys were just rushing at it out of a ‘sense of duty’, so they easily hesitated.

Bang! Bang! Kwaaang!

I continued to explode the bullets on the ground as if drawing a border. It wasn’t long before a line dug like a pit, and the area of ​​the duel site became a little clearer.

“Anyone who crosses this will die. How he dies, don’t try to predict the process. The only thing left is that the guy who comes over will die.”

The result is a very good arena that adheres to the dueling distance rules.

Were only his subordinates frightened? The Balrog also seemed to be at a loss for words at the sight of the whole armor being turned into grilled meat.

The Balrog put the Helbird down on the floor. And he spoke urgently.

“Now, wait a minute. I didn’t know there was such a great Kaliman. Starting today, you should balrog. I’ll let you do that, so save my life.”

“Oh, kids, have you all heard this? What do you think when the Balrog asks to save your life?”

Everyone had no answer. However, deep down, he must have been disappointed in his boss.

I can’t see the balrog’s expression either. However, his face must have turned red. It’s embarrassing, but I guess I still want to live somehow.

“You there.”

I raised Cheshire’s arm and pointed at one of the knights. The pointed knight immediately stood at attention.

“Are you perfectly memorizing the spirit of chivalry?”

“Yes. I can proudly say that I memorize it perfectly.”

“Is it part of the spirit of chivalry to beg for your life if you lose a duel?”

“Not included.”

“Then what should I do?”

“…It is right to die.”

Yes. That’s right I nodded.

Grabbing Cheshire’s arm again, he moved it and pointed at the balrog.

“Why don’t you know that the articles below clearly know that? Did you not even graduate from the academy?”

“…”

Fuck! He hit the guy’s helmet once with his fist.

“This is why it is wrong to blindly take only nobles and send them to the academy. If you’re going to take care of it, the commoners should also take care of it.”

I put the hammer in Cheshire’s hand. Then Cheshire started hammering the Balrog’s helmet with a bang-kang-kang on his own.

Just enough to make your skull shake and give you a little motion sickness? Now that I see it, Chess also has a bit of a cruel side.

“Hey. Balrog.”

“Yes.”

KANG, KANG, KANG, the Balrog replied as he was beaten in the head.

At some point, that tone became respectful.

“I will give you one way to live.”

“Yes.”

“Take off all your armor, lay down naked and pray. Then I will save you.”

Actually, I had no intention of keeping the Balrog alive. After the Balrog showed such an ugly appearance, he would be killed by other knights on his own.

Will it really save you if you do that? The Balrog didn’t even ask about that, and he immediately went into action.

‘Shall I just kill him?’

I seriously thought about it. Seeing a man naked is actually a bit of a loss to me.

Swoop—

However.

“…?”

“…!”

“…?!”

Everyone was in shock.

When the balrog took off his helmet, what was revealed was a fair-skinned, brown-haired girl.

“I’ll beg you to save me. Please save my life…”

When she took off her helmet, her voice was also that of a young girl.

“Please…”

And the beautiful girl was still getting out of her clothes one after another.
