Chapter 178 – Wandering Knight True

#178.

─Rumble!

As soon as I felt the carriage stop, I immediately opened my eyes and got up.
Looking at Nia’s surprised face, who hesitated as if contemplating whether to wake her up, she kissed her briefly and then stood up.

“Let’s go.”
“Yes.. Bocchan.”

Even though she knows no one is there, her voice creeps in as if she is so shy.
It’s just a few hours ago that she was depressed saying she couldn’t help but she was back to normal before she knew it.
Nia has the prettiest smile, so I like it too.

“Hu.. Is this place?”

When she got out of her wagon and looked around, she saw a large rocky mountain.
The fact that pickaxes and various equipment were scattered in front of the caves that were drilled here and there indicated that the situation at the time was quite urgent.

“I’m seeing you for the first time today too..”
“Okay..?”
“Yes. Because it’s dangerous here. I heard she forbade entry so as not to irritate the monsters.”

Nia gestured and looked back to see her soldiers blocking the way.
Having barracks and guard towers that were made hastily seems to have been a good preparation.

“Heh heh… The young lady explained it first. As the saying goes, you don’t know when a monster will pop out of the mine, so you’re controlling the road.
“Okay.”

The Viscount, who had overheard our conversation, came over and added Nia’s words.

Behind him, the knight commander named Richter was giving instructions to the members.
After all, they were knights, so they immediately started looking for their respective seats to see if they had had basic training.
It was a structure that could not be penetrated without passing by themselves in a form that surrounded the Viscount and us.

“Then, is Lord True ready? I’m thinking of entering the mine right now. Lord Richter will explain the detailed operation.”
“No problem. We go right in.”
“Your spirits are great. Then Lord Richter. Please.”
“Yes. Be aware.”

After hearing my confirmation, the viscount laughed heartily and called the knight commander.
As if the match should be divided fairly, the knight commander explained the strategy without leaving out anything in particular.
In the first place, if I had put my personal feelings first, I would not have been able to come to this place.

“The operation is simple. There is a core of the mine. It’s about getting this stuff installed there as quickly as possible.”

A long stake was held in the Knight Commander’s hand.
It seems to be a magic tool that has subtle magic power flowing through it.

“What kind of effect does it have?”
“This is an object that creates subtle waves when plugged into the ground.”
“Wave..?”
“Yes. In the case of the Iron Mall, it is quite sensitive to earthquakes. Gnomes will probably sense danger and jump out of the mines even with weak pulses. Then wait at the entrance beforehand and subdue them.”

It was definitely an effective operation.
We don’t have to fight on their home ground, so if they’re already vulnerable to sunlight, their fighting power will drop sharply the moment they come out.
If you fight at that time, you can also reduce the damage of your allies.

“It is a good operation. Let’s go right away.”
“However, in order to do that, someone has to quickly get to the center and drive a stake into it. That’s what I will do. Are you okay?”
“I said no problem. Let’s go right away.”

While answering Richter’s words without wavering, when he turned his gaze to the viscount, he could see his eyes averting.

It was impossible to dare to push a knight with connections to Arisha to death.
So, let your limbs bear the burden instead.
This could also be said to be a great example of nobility.
It’s not my taste to be bullied, but it’s first to finish the job first.
Of course, it was also to blame for seeing Nia pushing hard.
Perhaps a clever Nia will remember this and somehow rip it off some more.
Some of them will be mine

“Get a map. If you memorize them all, we’ll start right away.”

It was very easy to memorize maps because of synesthesia and spatial understanding skills.
I feel like a quasi-genius. The structure of the map was stored like taking a picture and inserting it into the brain.

“I memorized everything. Let’s go.”
“Hmm.. I see. Take it.”

As if he had prepared two in advance, the knight commander pulled out another stake from his chest and held it out.
The stake was the size of an adult man’s torso, but it looked like it was taken out of a pocket in the subspace.
After receiving it and putting it in the inventory, I headed to Nia while watching the knight commander check the knights for the last time.

“Young lady.”
“Sir True.. Please come back safely.”

Nia glanced at her viscount as if she was still angry.
She was beautiful even in that way. She wanted to hug her right away and kiss her intensely, but he held back by kissing the back of her hand.

Side!

“Then… I’ll go. Lady.”
“Sir Tru. I’ll wait.”

After all, I’m an honest and straightforward guy, so I got used to the name True before I knew it.
The name Rai did not suit me.
Like a knight of innocence, I made eye contact with Nia for the last time and moved to the mine entrance.

“As you can see from the map, the mine is divided into two main areas. Some areas have already been developed and some have not. Each of us must go separately.”
“I know. Which way are you going?”
“Go upstairs.”

If it’s above, it’s where development has been completed.
He said that he would go to a more dangerous place.
It was annoying to have a friendly attitude towards me, but it seems that there is definitely one chivalry.

“All right. Be careful.”
“Of course. Then let’s go right now!”

Tada dat-!

Thinking there was no need to delay here, we jumped straight into the mine.
Doo doo doo… And the sound of footsteps echoed loudly in the mine.
At the same time, signs began to awaken one by one in various places.

“Ignore it and go! Then see you later.”

After saying that, the knight commander threw himself into a large hole in the floor.
I ran all the way, and when I thought I had widened enough distance, I hid myself using fairy tales and visions and ran with all my might.

The iron moles couldn’t detect me, who left no sign of me, let alone the sound of footsteps.
As he reached 8 stars, he headed towards the center of the mine enjoying faster movement.

Of course, all the guys I saw on the way cut their heads and even ripped out their souls and converted them into karma.
They covered their whole body with steel-like carapace and possessed claws that were so great that they could be said to be the best swordsmen.
It’s particularly hard, so it looks like it could be used as a weapon.

“Huh!”

Of course, no matter how hard their carapaces were, they were easily split by my single sword and reached the end of their lives.

‘It’s pretty deep…’

If this is the case here, it means that less developed places are worse.
There are even many places where the topography has not been identified on the map, but it is questionable whether the human will be able to return alive.
He wasn’t a bad person, so shall we go help him?

“Because it is necessary to install stakes to kill all these guys anyway..”

I wondered if I could just install one side first and subdue them, but it would be a big deal if the rest of them hid.
Rather than wandering around the mines looking for people you don’t even know where they are hiding, it’s better to install magic tools and kill them at once.

After a while while running while accumulating karma, I arrived at an open space.
The holes drilled here and there let us know that it was a center connected to all kinds of places.
But what stood out more than that was the iron mall tucked away at the bottom of the center.
They seemed to have chosen this place as their home, where they could freely move to other places, and there were more than a hundred of them.

“Hmm.. I think I need to go help quickly?”

If this is the case here, it’s probably the same for the other side.
Wouldn’t those who say they are sensitive to waves really feel the impact of driving a stake?
Of course not.
And the knight commander knows that too.

But..

“I guess I’ll just do it…”

If he was more chivalrous than he thought, he would probably try to complete his mission even at the cost of his own life.
It’s not part of the job to die, but it would be annoying if the magic tools were damaged in the process.

“Eutcha!”

Without hesitation, I drove the stake into the ground.
Fairy tales were great too. The stake dug into the stone floor and was driven into it, but there was no shock at all.
There was no sound, no shock, no dust flying, and the piles dug in began to emit magical power.

“It was 5 minutes..”

The magic tool’s timer is automatically set to 5 minutes, so you have to get out of the mine before that.
I immediately turned my back to head for the undeveloped area.

Of course before that…

“Die well.”

─Fu-bu-bu-bu-bu-buk!!

He thrust his sword into the ground and killed all those who were asleep.
The accumulation of karma came into my eyes, and I laughed happily, drew my sword, and immediately kicked the ground.

Chew! Chew! Standing and giggling—

I didn’t have to worry about the cave collapsing in the aftermath of the storm, so I ran with all my might.
At the same time, he sliced ​​up the people he saw from all sides and adapted to the 8-star realm.

In fact, I didn’t even have time to get used to it, so I jumped right in, so I couldn’t properly grasp the extent of my powerlessness.
The results of that experiment were staggering.

“The ship has become stronger than ever.”

Compared to before, I can’t judge exactly, but it is expected that even if there are 4 of me when I was 7 stars, I will be able to compete with them.
If the difference between 7 and 8 stars is this much, it means that the difference in power is even greater above that.
So don’t be satisfied with this and keep going.

Of course, I cannot motivate myself to train simply for the sake of improvement.
So, I decided to set a new goal.

‘I’m going to eat the guardian goddess!’

With the experience I saw last time, she seduces the woman who is sure to be 100% tax-free beauty!
To do that, you would have to be incredibly strong.
Rumor has it that she’s fighting demons, but she’s probably talking about the Apocalypse.
If you want to seduce the Guardian Goddess, you have no choice but to kill them all, and eventually you have to reach an equal level.

In other words..

‘I will rise to the level of a god!’

It is a body that was a god in a previous life.
There’s no law saying you won’t get there again.
So, you must reach the realm of God.

When she thought that she was going to seduce the most noble woman in the world, she was very motivated.

But for a while-

“Huh.. From here..”

As she ran, thinking about the goddess, she saw the hole that her knight commander had jumped into earlier.
It reminded her of the somber underground that she had seen on Earth as a child.
It was a place that exuded cool energy with humming mechanical sounds.
As a child, it was a place of fear and curiosity.

Adults used to block entry, saying that children should not enter.
Feeling the same feeling as back then, soaked in memories, I shook off my thoughts and jumped right away.

I secretly landed without even making a landing sound, looked around, saw the trail of the knight commander, and ran.

As soon as I landed here, I was attacked, and the corpses of the Iron Mall were lined up everywhere.
In this state, everyone who would have been on this path would have caught up with them.
Please, I hope you’re not dead yet.

‘It’s cumbersome to retrieve magic tools, so stay alive.’

The deeper we went, the more the number of corpses increased.
At the same time, a rupture of iron against iron could be heard from far away.
I kicked the floor even more hastily at the roar that echoed from far away.

Koo-ung! Kugung..

─Keugh…! Go away!

The voice of the knight commander reached with a dull impact sound.
Fortunately, those who are still alive don’t seem to have to worry about the magic tools being damaged.
At the far end of the widening aisle, I could see iron mauls crammed into the cavity.
In the meantime, a human form was reflected in the eyes at first glance.

“Huh..!”

Kwuuugh—!!

Seeing the precarious appearance as if he was going to collapse at any moment, he appeared and rolled hard on the floor with the intention of attracting aggro on purpose.
At that sound, the guys who were about to rush at the knight commander turned their heads in shock.

“Your face is fucking ground.”

Real moles have a cute taste, but those guys were surrounded by carapaces, exposing fat bodies and sharp teeth like sharks.

─Kigigigigi!!

Among them, those who had been lagging behind and only sucked their fingers rushed madly, indignant as if they understood what I was saying.
He flashed his sharp nails over 1m long as if he was going to tear them apart at any moment.
I smiled at the bloody figure that looked like it was about to explode all over my body, and I wrapped the film of Kanggi all over my body.

Boooooung-

The strong winds vibrating at a tremendous speed made a chirping noise.
The moment they hesitated at the bloody appearance as if everything they touched would be shattered.

“Haap!”

He kicked off the ground and jumped forward.

Kwagwagwagwang─!!

Having acquired formidable physical abilities by investing karma like crazy, when I started to run without hesitation, the surroundings were smashed at once and an explosion sounded.
At the same time, my body was shot towards the mountain of monsters.

Kwajajajajajajajak—!!

Sharp claws flew from all sides, but to no avail.
Rather, it was all ground up in the bloody river and scattered into powder.
After the claws were smashed, their carapace, and then the fabric, was torn into pieces, and they were not even chunks of meat, but were splattered in blood.

Penetrating through the

With a flash of light that pierced the mountain of monsters, everything that stood in the way of reconciliation was torn apart.
