Chapter 181 – The First of Two Chances -4-
Jeongjeojiwa (井底之蛙).
A well is such a space.
It narrows the frog’s knowledge infinitely and makes it unaware of the existence of the snake lurking outside.
“Encircle!”
They took off their scabbard and showed the iron blade that had been soaked in blood, and they looked at each other.
Even if the sum didn’t match, he drew a half circle clumsily to block Roman and Chloe from standing at the entrance to the hallway.
There are things that have been handed down to their residences, which are coiled in remote areas or on the periphery.
Stories you won’t believe unless you see it with your own eyes.
That he blows up the mansion with a single blow, or that he is a man who can defeat an ogre with pure strength alone.
A saga about those who have crossed the limits of their species to be human beings.
Each of the famous knights and adventurers in the empire is one-of-a-kind, so even dozens of people attacking them can’t hurt them.
Isn’t it funny?
Those who had all these stories thought they were exaggerating to enhance their honor.
Some of the crowd can pull off that great aura.
How much of a difference would it make if the same person who was lucky enough to be born was great?
It was also possible for them to slaughter armed peasants or ordinary imperial soldiers.
A land where the law does not affect.
Forming a group in an area where defeat is death.
I had no doubts that it was a gift from heaven because I managed to survive until this age.
If they themselves had been born into high-ranking nobles in the capital, they would have been enough to become famous knights.
He accepted the request because he was confident that he could easily defeat a knight with a high nose.
In that way.
Intoxicated with the courage given by the majority, they try hard to turn a blind eye, but they feel it.
That there are creatures of a really different class wearing the same human mask.
Prioritizing survival over pride, they waited to see who would rush first.
The moment you jump in first, the probability of the target being hit is absurdly high.
“How many heads are there, but they don’t move! Go in quickly!”
“That sucks. The big-throated bastard has to go first. Did you get tired of peeing because you were scared?”
I said that there would be no great person other than the target when the client’s limbs confirmed it.
A man attached to a target was the problem.
“Fuck…”
A hulking man who fell to the floor and lost the shape of his face.
Even if you try to attack, your eyes will naturally go there.
A murder that occurred in an instant caught the group’s ankles, reminding them of their own future that would possibly happen.
They have no noble destiny to complete their missions on the basis of sacrifice and death.
‘It’s understandable that they don’t attack, but there are people whose eyes keep going toward the door…’
Did the reinforcements come?
To be honest, most of them don’t seem to have the heart to do it right.
The ones who seem to have a desire to kill are the ones who grabbed the corpse earlier and got angry.
Watching the idiots who are best kept in a semi-circle with a buzz.
Roman placed a hand on Chloe’s gray hair.
The large hands startled her for a moment, but Chloe soon felt a surprisingly calming feeling and calmed her breathing.
“It’ll be a review of a class I did one day, but what should I do in a state without weapons like this?”
A calm tone that doesn’t feel threatened at all.
When I asked, looking at Chloe, she answered softly, without taking her eyes off her enemies.
“Mu, taking away weapons or throwing or spraying surrounding objects to do so…”
She remembered well every single word I threw at her in passing during class.
“Okay. But that’s only when it’s necessary.”
Seeing-!
A thin piece of iron was pulled out of the air with a cry.
A sword that looks functionally great with neat proportions.
“···Uh?”
Even without a scabbard, the perfectly maintained sword surface was enough to reflect Chloe’s surprised eyes.
Ignoring the other side of her buzzing about the unknown phenomenon, I put the sword in Chloe’s hand.
“Chloe. Once you have made up your mind with your sword, never hesitate. Remember that the only answer to a complicated mind is honesty.”
“Brother··.”
An action that is possible because I know it is in my favor.
Let’s stroke her hair gently.
Chloe’s eyes glowed with life as if they had been anointed with fire.
Clap!
Her black armor, which started from her brooch, envelops her, and blue eyes shine through the cracks of her helmet.
A craftsman’s artifact that neatly hides a huge chest and gray hair that used to come down to the waist.
“What, what is that!”
“It must be something nobles have, you idiot!”
I watched her, listening to her subtle hints and information in her ears.
Who would think that there is an introverted beautiful girl inside this dark and hideous armor?
The moment she grabs her sword, holding her defensive stance as in her class, watching her keep her silence, resumes her advice.
“It’s a situation that worked out and a war situation that I never cared about afterward. At a moment like this, we don’t have to go in first.”
“Yes··!”
Chloe has more strength than usual, but still responds with a soft voice.
‘Huh?’
Since I was aware of the existence of her skills, I was momentarily suspicious.
Her curiosity came to her, but she looked ahead.
“Shall we call the opponents who don’t seem to have any plans to come?”
From forks to knives scattered here and there.
There were a lot of things that could bring out the opponent who was dragging the time to the point where it was obvious.
She reached for the table and snapped the metal she grabbed at her wrist, throwing it forward.
Pak!
“Huup…!”
“Crazy!”
Have you ever seen a spoon get stuck between your eyebrows in your life?
It’s my first time doing it too.
A spoon dug into her head and one fell behind her.
With that as a signal flare, the semicircle narrowed and they began to charge one by one.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take responsibility.”
Widely! Widely!
As the hard back of her armor was pounded, Chloe nodded her head and took her heart.
Dirty young men come running with a thump.
Hwareuk-!
“Uhhhhh!!”
The big man with an aura on his long sword shouted and charged.
Chloe slightly bent her knees for balance and raised her blue aura.
Crack!
Even if you have rolled in an overwhelming number of real battles, you can never ignore opponents who have received professional and systematic training.
Kagagak!
Sliding the falling sword gently diagonally and cutting the waist neatly like it would appear in textbooks.
Spark-
A watery sound and a pop! And the feeling that something is cut off.
A sword with an aura cuts through the man’s waist.
Chloe squeezed her teeth and pulled out his hand while frowning inside the helmet at the terrible sensation of cutting flesh and skeleton.
‘Without hesitation!’
She said that she would come forward with her own mouth, but she did not want to appear a foolish figure who was only protected.
Even if she is immature, weak-minded, and at a loss in everything.
She wanted to prove in front of him that she was a single woman and unmanned that she could do it right when she had to.
…
I admired her as she neatly blew her neck off her waist.
‘You are good?’
I was stupid because my head and insight were buried in the ‘setting’ that I knew in advance.
Even Robert did not have a controller called a player, so he was in that state, but anyone could change and change in any direction depending on their efforts and circumstances.
The knife cutting in Chloe’s hand was a refreshing slash that made me forget my worries and reminded Ricke of Chloe’s feelings.
She was blooming with her own efforts and determination.
From the actions of receiving the opponent and using the power against them, to the hand movements that receive the force without burdening the body.
The image of her performing techniques that are difficult to use in real life like a precise machine.
It was proof that he had endured the arduous and lonely time of staring at the wall and swinging his sword.
The time I worked hard in an invisible place is finally seeing the light.
“Keah!”
The man whose arms were blown clean by Chloe’s sword fell backwards.
Hooked!
As it was, I strongly stepped on the fallen man’s chin and finished it off by accurately thrusting my sword into his open neck.
‘It will be great in the future.’
Like Ricke, Chloe was not an average bet because she was determined.
So that Chloe, facing her first real battle, can concentrate as much as possible.
Kicking and shoving the heads or stomachs of the rumblings.
He was watching the situation by controlling the majority with blows that broke his nose and dropping them one by one towards Chloe.
‘Hmm.’
In the meantime, the two look through the window.
With a guy who trembled when my eyes met.
I see Isaac, Robert’s friend, stuck in the corner of the room and not coming out.
Things that scratch your head.
The setting and reason why Robert can’t touch Chloe’s liking in the original work.
And openly hostile feelings towards me.
‘I lack shamelessness.’
The difference between the high-ranking guys here and the great people in the previous life is that most of them can’t manage their facial expressions.
Seeing me, biting my teeth and widening my eyes, made me hate the situation.
The Empire has virtually no chance of an uprising from within, and there is no voting.
There is a clear indicator of class, so in most cases, emotions are revealed transparently.
“Hey… Back! He came from behind… Shall we just leave now?”
In the midst of the commotion, a small muttering voice caught my ear.
As the situation gradually changed, the personnel in the back row began to change their response when they saw the two standing outside.
Me and Chloe had no wounds, and the corpses began to pile up in front of me, so the picture was strange to anyone.
‘Indeed···.’
The fear spreading at the sight of the piling up corpses created a murmur.
The conversation they mumbled in small whispers.
Often, as a punishment from a mana contract, even a guy who gets his eyes wide open trying to speak out and becomes stupid.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was a frequent occurrence when the terms of the Mana Contract were violated.
Separately, the information that came into my ears was enough to know.
‘Why do the main characters who have their own share eat and break like this? Is it innate if there is no controller?’
Just thinking about it, I don’t know why I chose this situation where my face is hot.
From the beginning, the right to escape his death was in my hands from the day I saved him from Deganello.
Time to punish for ruining the place.
The point at which Isaac stood by and looked away from me to see the stern man, his face reddening, reprimanding him in anger.
Yep!
“Omg!”
Let’s break the sword of the man who is holding on to his crushed nose with the blade of his hand.
He hurriedly took out the dagger from his belt and raised it reflexively.
The dagger that was pulled out hastily is not maintained at all, so the entire blade is a lump of rust.
Originally, I was going to use the blade I just broke, but that one seemed more reliable.
Seeing that, he deliberately kicked out.
Unable to resist the monster’s bone pain or the ridiculously breaking legs, the blade of the fragmented dagger flew through the air while spinning round and round.
Clink!
Orange pieces of metal, full of rust, broke through the shop windows, shattered Isaac’s glasses with precision, and mercilessly lodged in his pupils.
It was a product and event of truly unavoidable, irresistible misfortune.
“Ahh-!!! P, Phillip! Phillip!! Hurry up, church!!”
A scream through the broken glass.
‘Academy Blind Wizard!’
Somehow, I completed an existence that seemed powerful just by hearing the name.
I pointed my finger at the guy whose name I knew thanks to his scream.
“Philip.”
Let’s call the guy’s name exactly with the shape of his mouth.
He couldn’t even turn his head toward Isaac, who had collapsed.
Like a frog in front of a snake flicking its tongue, it froze in an intelligible fear.
It’s a waste of brain capacity, but I remembered the face and name of one husband accurately.
It’s Isaac… Not a single bit of rust has gone deep into his eyeballs.
Even if you rush to the church immediately and get treatment, the result will be difficult to escape from despair.
It wouldn’t be enough to run with such a target on his back, but the guy named Philip next to me was still staring at me and unable to move.
‘There are many wizards with good abilities, so should I just get the data and kill them?’
There were many ways to kill Isaac, even if it wasn’t through my hands.
The real key to unlocking another dimension is Robert, not Isaac.
Isaac is involved in the story because he majored in that field, but in reality, there are plenty of substitutes.
Even if there are only two things that have been done so far, there is also a good chance of saving time if there is data organized about it.
‘It’s over for now.’
All of that thought was a very brief moment.
Ignore the screams outside now.
I kicked the guy who was holding the dagger with the missing blade blankly and put it in the corner.
He continued her pace so that she could focus on her practical work.
When Chloe’s sword accurately cut down 3 more people.
Security guards rushed into the store.
“What a commotion in the middle of the empire’s capital!!”
I liked the quick response of the guards because it was a point where practically no time had passed.
“Fuck! That bastard blocks it!”
“Fucked!”
Those were the soldiers that Isaac raised as privates.
It’s really hard to believe, but if this hair were the ones in charge of cleaning up the family.
The thought crossed his mind that there might be a chance he might get caught and escape alive.
I lifted the old sword that had lost its owner on the floor and pulled out the dark red aura.
Paji weave-
Unable to handle the aura, he swung the sword before it broke and cut off the remains of the remaining party.
