Chapter 149 – Rescue the Sick Princess (3)

“Hit the wizard!! Shoot the crossbow!!”

Where

Hook!
Awesome!

“Aaah!!”

I pick out crossbowmen and start killing them.
The crossbowmen rush to shoot at me,
Breaks the magic ring and spreads the shield to charge.

“Gather the crossbowmen!! Paladins’ shield deployed!!
Squad 2, to the building!!”

Damn, busy busy!

No more.
First of all, stop the crossbow!

“Distortion of vision!!”

“Huh?”

“Whoa, eyes… !!”

We have to catch the commander!!!

“Shield!! Hurry!!”

The commander who saw me running
Wipe the paladin next to you to spread a shield.

That color… Physical shield.
Then?

“Fire Arrow!!”

Whoop!! Roaring!!

“Keuuugh!!”

Shoots magic fire arrows with the commander’s shield,
Surprisingly, the commander evades by rolling on the floor.
Shit!!

Beep-!

The sound of the firebird announcing death.
The firebird, now as big as several bulls put together,
Swallow 8 soldiers.

Roaring-!!

The flames gradually spread to the soldier next to the soldier,
Fire carries fire
A person moves a fire.
Vitality burns

“Aagh!! Sa, save me!!”

The sound of burning flesh, the smell.
Deafening scream.
Soldiers who have to watch their comrades burn in front of their eyes.
Who will be next
Fear is contagious like wildfire.

“Ahhh!!”

I run towards the commander.
If you dodge from a distance, stop attacking from close!!

At some point, more than two paladins gathered,
The defense shield is spread by type.

To break through with physical force, you need a big one.
Write ‘that’!!

[Connection of joints, transfer of weight, concentration of power.
Always think of these 3 things.
The basic principles of any martial art are the same.
… I’m an illusionist, so I don’t know much about martial arts.
But how about learning martial arts from another master?
There are many great martial arts teachers I know.
Shall I introduce you?]

[No, I do not want. I want to learn from Master.
… Or I’ll learn later when I need it.]

[Why? Martial arts also need to build a proper foundation.
It takes double the effort to correct what you learned wrong later.]

[… If you take another teacher,
It means less time to spend with Master.]

[Oh, oh my!
… How can he talk so beautifully…
Come here. Side, chook!! Ah, it’s cute!!]

Yes yes. My master my love.
Watch me.
That the disciple grew up like this.

“Aaaaa!!!”

Cat’s step increases movement speed.
He throws his sword at the same speed as he runs.

Coo!!

Stomp your feet in front of the shield.
The principle of cheongeunchu.
Keep your weight on your stepping feet and keep your balance.

The moment the sword touches the shield,
Joints are fixed with the principle of Geumgangbulgoe.
So that the body and the sword function as a carrier of kinetic energy like a battering ram.
Not beggy
To cut off

Yongsal Taekwondo ‘Shooting Stars’
Camus style swordsmanship version.
It’s Death Blow.

Quaang!!

The shield vibrates,

Hard… !!! Paang!!

“Bar… A shield!!!”

It’s broken.

Hooked! Thanks!!

Stab the commander’s neck and cross it.
An officer collapses with blood gushing from his throat.

“Did you guys agree to sacrifice Princess Anne to the dragon too?”

“Ugh… !!”

These guys are incompetent.

A paladin who hastily draws his sword.

Seruk. Chin!

“!!”

Before pulling out the knife with the palm of your hand, push the handle
Prevent knife draw

Hooked!

“Kreak…”

Blood foam coming out of the neck.

“This bastard…”

The sword wielded by the paladin next to him,
It blocks the one who stabbed the neck as a shield.

Kang!

“!”

Block it with the corpse, and extend the blade that pierced the neck.

It’s ugly!!

Master’s dagger is the sharpest knife I’ve ever seen.
Enough to pierce one more person with their neck pierced.

“Kreak…”

Dump.

All 3 people inside the shield are knocked out.

“Your captain is dead!!”

Beep-!!

As if responding to my call, the firebird that suddenly grew to the size of a house
It was devouring more than 16 people and 32 people at once.

Roaring!!!

“Quaaaaagh!!!”

“Eh, run!!”

“Sir baaar!! What kind of magic is this!!”

… The firebird has grown too big.
Soon Ludwig will be able to do it too.

Leave the fleeing soldiers alone,
I run under the building where Ludvik is.
To hit the backs of soldiers who were trying to climb onto the roof of a building.

“Heuk!”

“Gagging!”

The soldiers who dealt with me lost their commander and wandered around.
I was struck by a fire bird and was terrified.
The soldiers in the building don’t know the situation yet.

“Your captain is dead!!
The one who is going to be killed by the phoenix, come forward!!”

Fireballs are placed on the backs of soldiers.

Kwagwawang!!

“Back, back!”

While kicking out the soldiers under the building,
The firebird grew even bigger.
Now I want to swallow 64 people, so I look around,
There is no place as dense as that anymore.
Inevitably, it attacks the place where the troops are gathered.

Beep-!!

Even if you put hellfire here, it won’t be hotter than that phoenix.
Even I, who have been away for a while, have a burning face.

Visor! Chaeeng!!

“Leader!! Here!!”

Zach alone was fending off the soldiers coming up to the roof.

I have soldiers burning wooden horses to human ladders.
Casts magic where soldiers are raised.

“Fire Arrow!!”

In the magic fire arrow that flew behind my back
The united troops burn.

“Aagh!!”

The smell of burning flesh vibrates.

“Eh, run!!”

“Sir, fuck!!!”

Eventually, the soldiers retreat.
I’m going to pounce on the dog
Some even lifted crossbows and carried spears,

Beep-!!
Roaring!!!

The Phoenix Storm immediately attacked and turned it to ashes.

… It seems that the firebird is trying to return to Ludvik.
Phoenix Storm burns too much life force,
Eventually return to the caster
He burns himself
Containing it is the biggest challenge.
Rather, burn it in moderation and finish it.
Ludvik can also easily reverse summon Phoenix Storm.

Tup.

Remembrance.

Barely climbs onto the roof.
I’m tired too. Ugh…

“Whoa.”

“You’ve worked hard, Captain.”

“What. You and Ludwig had a hard time.
Hey, fiery snake. It’s hot too.”

“Heo-eok, whoo, whoo…
It’s too much to use after a long time.”

It got too big and I tried to come back to myself
He managed to reverse summon Phoenix Storm.
Wipe the sweat from your forehead.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.
Let’s hurry.”

Mercy, who is sober
Hypnotize her and make her run to the Winter Palace,
We run north again.

Tak Tak Tak!!!

“Devotte isn’t coming yet.”

“This is not the time to worry about others, Captain.”

Damn.

Now enter the area where the buildings are dense.
The interior of the northern palace is also divided into spaces.
To go to the depths of the rose garden
You have to pass through a structure like a castle.
Apparently Catherine was preparing for civil war.
Because the Northern Palace is a defensive palace built from the beginning of the founding.

Tak Tak Tak!!

“Damn it, the enemies are back together!!”

Hundreds of soldiers who fled in fear of the Phoenix Storm
They regrouped and were coming after us.

“Then take a detour into the building at 2 o’clock.
Bullying inside the building is also a way.”

Chaeng!!

Break the window and enter.
As Jacques said, enter the hallway inside the long building.
There is a red carpet on the floor,
Colorful vases and picture frames lined up on the left and right.

“Run!!”

I ran like that in the building,
A man I saw somewhere blocks my way.
Looks like a bear
Wearing half plate mail
A warrior wearing shin guards and wrist guards.

“This is it.
Dare I say where is this… Uh?
You, you!!”

Holding a sharp ax spear in the right hand, a halberd
Aim at me

Stop.

“Captain, do you know someone?”

“No. I’m seeing it for the first time.”

“What are you seeing for the first time?!?!
Yeah, didn’t we arm wrestle with you?!
I am Count Mido!!”

“Arm wrestling?
… Ah. That weakling who flirted with Angela back then?”

“Hey, about… Goal?!?!”

Hung Hung Hung! Remembrance!

Count Mido spun his halberd brilliantly,
They grind their teeth and aim at us.

“How dare you!! Losing then was just careless!!”

“I think you know each other well, right?”

“I don’t know. I don’t remember the fucks.”

… But that guy
The right arm is broken and the right hand is not crushed?
How did you get better soon?
I don’t even have Marianne.

And … Why is there a bandage on your right arm?
While using a weapon with his right arm.
Like… Like trying to hide something.

“Get out of the way, little pony. If you don’t want to fall behind.”

“Keugh!! These worms!!”

That rushes in.
I hit my back twice with my fist.
A sign of a rear attack.
Jacques and Ludwig follow behind my back.

“Aaaaa!!”

Regardless of anger, keep a certain distance
Count Mido who strikes diagonally.

He said he was self-made, but he is calm when fighting.
Also keep your distance.
It’s not a wide hallway, but I’m thinking of blocking the road alone.
But we’re in a hurry.
It’s a quick fight!

“Chaha!!”

Roll forward to dodge,

“Waist!”

Shout and stab the leg.

Visor!

To him blocking with a window,
Jacques and Ludwig attack the time difference.
And I blink.
The location is behind Count Mido!!
If it’s a distance fight in a narrow hallway,
Stop attacking back and forth!!

Huung.

I blink behind him and stab him in the back.
The half-plate mail worn by Count Mido
Because it doesn’t block your back!

Pooh!!!

“Aaah!!”

I was paying attention to Zach and Ludvik’s time difference attack.
It was only for a moment that I missed my blink attack.
However, even a momentary mistake is fatal.

Spaw! Hooked!

Jacques’ Scimitar and Ludwig’s Estoc
Cut and stab his body.

“End. Let’s hurry!”

I indifferently shorten Master’s dagger and run.

Tak Tak Tak!!

Jacques and Ludvik following me.
I hear the footsteps of the soldiers running across the corridor.
Getting more and more anxious
However… Why are you getting goosebumps?

“Kuruk, karuk, kreureuk.”

… This sound.
That sound came out of the mouth of the assassin I met in Cheonghaejin.

“Damage!!”

Shuwook! Duum!!

Several tentacles stretched out from the back of the hallway.
‘Push’ the wall like tofu with a fist.

Kurr!!

When the tentacles returned to their original position, the wall collapsed.

“Crack. Coo. Oops.”
“I do it, I do it, I do it”

“… This fucking thing.”

The tentacle monster I saw at the Humpback Whale Fortress.
From the right hand of Count Mido
A black snake-like monster with red eyes jumped out.
… It was probably sleeping under the bandages.

“Kirreuk. Coo. Kluck krk.”
“Nannannannannan gang gang gang strong haha.
Nanannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang haha!!!!!”

A frothy sound from the tentacle’s mouth,
From the mouth of Count Mado, who is still in human form
A self-hypnotic voice that says I am strong comes out.

“Run!!”

And, unfortunately, unlike the assassin in Humpback Whale Fortress
That tentacle monster… Run towards us!!!
It’s very fast too!!

“What, what, what, what is that?!?!?!”

“The tentacle monster that Balak said!!
A biological weapon created by Alberic and Catherine!!!”

“Aaaaa!! Gross!! I’m scared, boss!!!!

Thump thump thump!!

It runs through the hallway with a tremendous roar.
Tentacle Count.

Whoo!!

Tentacles once again,

Kukkoom!!

Gaze us and break the wall.
I was lucky this time.
Not avoided,
Because it was just crouching down!!!

But we weren’t the first victims.

Chaeng!!

“Stop!! How dare you guys… !! Uh?”

Kwaaang!!

The soldiers of the Templars broke through the windows in the hallway.
As soon as I entered, my face was crushed by Count Mido’s tentacles.
No, the whole body… Crushed like a burst cherry
Only blood was left on the walls and floor.

“Ugh, ahh!!”

“What, what is this monster?!”

The soldiers and Count Mi-do, who entered without knowing it,
Started crashing.

Kwak!! Coo!! Softly… !!!

The vibration of the collision is transmitted intact to us.

“Keep running!!
They will try to surround you!!”

Like the previous battle,
I’m thinking of trapping us in a double encirclement!!

Clink! Cheng Kang! Chaeng!!

“There! Catch them!”

“Besieged! One squad to the north!”

“Squad 3, block the road!!”

Breaking windows all over the hallway
Templar soldiers entering.

“Captain, come here!”

With the guidance of Jacques, who is familiar with the map,
Make a right angle and enter the room.

Jump!

Open the door,

Quadang!

After entering, knock down the furniture to block the road,

Jump!

Open the door again and pass through several rooms
Run to another hallway.
Sometimes I go up and down the stairs and pass through complicated passages.

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!

“Toward 1 o’clock!”

“Magic Missile!!”

Whoops!! Jjoong!

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!

“Two o’clock, two people!”

“Ax!”

“Fire Arrow!!”

Hong Hong Hong… Kwajak!!
Whoa… !! Pew!!

“Quaaaaa!!!”

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!

“Hey, hey! A good hundred followed!”

“Come this way!”

Again, make two right angle bends and go through several rooms.
Jacques is like the internal structure of a building
It guides us like a clear thread.

Jump!

“Ride outside here and go all the way!!
Open the window at the end and enter!”

The window that Jacques ran to and opened first.
Me and Ludwig passed through again and again,
Zach closes the window and runs the outer wall.

It’s an outer wall, like a potted plant
A very narrow stone railing outside the third-floor window.

We run and run over that railing
Open the window at the end and enter.

And outside the window,

Blood shot!!

“Excuse me!! A pillar of light!!”

… Suddenly in the rose garden
A golden pillar of light rises.

“The ceremony is going on! Hurry!!”

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!

A human sacrifice ceremony to dedicate the sick princess to the gold dragon.
It’s already underway!!

“There is only one hallway here!!
If you go straight through several buildings in a straight line,
It is a rose garden!!”

“Okay! Come on run!!”

Tak tok tok… !!
Stop.
Kiki!!

… Guys, why don’t you run?

Jacques and Ludwig look at me with sad eyes.

“Captain, let’s go first.
There is no time.”

The usual mischievous Zach…
Why are you talking with such a confused face?

… Ludvik helped with a firm expression.

“Captain. We’re going to block it.
It’s a narrow hallway, and it’s the only passage.
The enemy will take a long time to bypass…”

“What are you talking about!! Let’s go together!!
Can’t you hear those bastards coming in?!?!”

Shout out loud
What…
Why… With that expression… Are you watching?

“Captain, the ceremony is underway.
I’m running out of time now.
You have to run straight away.
Be cool.”

Sereung.

Zach pulls out the scimitar from his waist.
The sound of a knife being drawn chills my heart.
My heart aches terribly.

Kudangtangtang!!

“There it is!! Catch!!”

“Those bastards, tear them limb from limb!!”

“Catch it and open its mouth!!”

Soldiers rushing in from across the hallway.
… There are well over a hundred people in sight.

“The two of you… !”

“I don’t have time to argue.
If you can’t stop the summoning of the gold dragon anyway,
We are all done.”

“Yes, chief.
Hurry up and stop the obese lizard.”

Jacques.
Ludvik.
My men.

The guys who came to hear my love story.
The guys who attacked me and tested me.
Guys hung with ropes.
Nu-Seok who performed various missions.
Royal Griffon The guys who were afraid of flying.
Jacques enjoying his honeymoon.
Bride-to-be Ludwig.
…
Damn it

“Captain, please accomplish a great cause.”

… I was speechless for a moment at Zach’s stern expression.

Swish

“… Do not die.”

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!!

The duration of ‘Cat’s Step’ has expired.
I cast acceleration magic,
I ran through the hallway with all my might.

Damn Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit!!!!!!!!
Fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking!!!!!

I hear something from behind.
The sound of a knife clashing.
Desperate screams.
A roaring voice that sounds like it’s going to explode.
The sound of something exploding.

I tried hard not to listen.
Repeatedly… I got something in my eyes
Running is difficult.
Just…
Running down the aisle,
Ran again
Towards the rose garden.
