Chapter 449 – Headless Horseman -1-

Originally, in this world, creatures called war horses were used to prove the prestige and authority of the rider.

No matter how carefully they are raised, their pedigree is excellent, and their horsemanship skills are amazing, the reality is that on the battlefield where famous people who use their strength on the continent are participating, they are evaluated as being like scoundrels.

The reason was obvious.

Of course, those skilled enough to cut rock and steel with a single sword are rotting away. It’s a world full of wizards who pour out the power of nature from their hands.

No matter how strong it is, it is clear that Byeongma’s inherent limitations are that he cannot handle the power of mana.

But.

For the first time, Roman encountered the existence of an unconventional warhorse that went beyond common sense.

Although it was an exceptional entity that came over from the hell called Pandemonium.

– Purr!

The hooves and mane of the horse carrying the Dullahan are burning with the red flame of pandemonium.

Although it was neither a unicorn nor a bicorn, its body had sharp thorns and armor-like shells.

– Under! Hey!

A Dullahan named Gankan pounded the horse’s body with his feet.

Pandemonium’s horse, which started running without wings using the air as a stepping stone, was incredibly fast.

“!”

Lance got closer to my eyes in an instant.

It’s trying to pierce your chest.

Roman responded by raising the sword of the Rakshasa.

Kaaaaang ───!!!

A clash of pure strength.

The chandelier and window burst and glass flew.

Neither weapon had any damage.

“Whoo!”

Instead of resisting the force that hit Gankan, he gently accepted it.

Roman, who floated backwards, planted his feet on the wall and threw away his Rakshasa.

– You act like a spider, not a human!

Cheaeng!

The Dullahan deflected the flying sword with his lance and rushed into the air.

Something like a green stream began to appear around the running Gankan and the warhorse.

‘Is it like an aura wrapped around your entire body? It’s faster than before.’

Scream!

As the Rakshasa flew away, it was tied to the base of a pillar that had already been shattered according to Roman’s will.

As Roman pulled the rolled Gleipnir in his hand, his body shifted.

Kwaaaaang!!

A slight difference from Roman, who moved on a chain.

Even though Dullahan missed Roman, he broke through the wall with the momentum of collapsing the mansion and advanced quite a distance.

When Gankan stopped and turned his horse’s head, the head of the four knights held in his palm his mouth his opened.

-Where did my confidence go to overcome this body? Are you planning on just avoiding it for 10 minutes?

“It’s urgent, not even a minute has passed yet.”

The headless horseman floating in the dark night sky was clearly caught in Roman’s eyes.

A mocking expression seemed to be visible from the dull flames spewing out from the empty neck

Tak!

Roman, who retrieved the weapon tied to the pillar, rotates the Rakshasa again to create a strong wind.

Dullahan attached the lance to his side and took his stance again.

– Naberius! Please watch the bravery of this Gankan!

– Heeeee!!!

The horse gained momentum by raising its front paws, and its mane and hooves burned green like the flames of Gankan.

And an air current of the same color swirled around the rider who started running.

[Lance Charge]

Powerful hooves on the subject of running while treading in the air.

As I was looking at it, I had the illusion of hearing a clanking sound.

‘Was that the reason I ran so far on purpose?’

The reason he broke the wall and ran all the way there even though he missed Roman wasn’t simply because he couldn’t stop.

Keeping a minimum distance to use charge.

Gankan used a skill to accelerate and started running towards Roman like crazy.

A reckless rush that could shatter your entire body if you hit it.

Even so, I have no intention of avoiding it.

‘Geonganjeong (乾降精), Gonwonryeong (坤援靈), Sun and Moon Sang (日月象), Gangjeonhyeong (岡澶形).’

‘Hwiroejeon (撝雷電), Unhyeonjwa (運玄坐), Chusanak (推山惡), Hyeonchamjeong (玄斬貞).’

One day, the Rakshasa went out of his way to tell his master in detail the purpose of creating the shape of the sain sword.

Roman remembers it well.

“Let’s try.”

Roman slightly bent his knees to balance himself.

There.

Now that the rotating Rakshasa is returning.

Peeing ───!!

A sword thrown away along with a chain at the perfect time.

The Rakshasa flew towards its nose with a sharp sound penetrating the wind.

The engraving on the surface of the sword flew away with light still in it.

Tsuruuk! Crunch! Teeing! Ting!

The rushing Gleipnir snapped into a constellation-like shape and pushed the Rakshasa behind.

[Heart – Chamyojema (斬妖除魔)]

The embodiment of ideal exorcism and destruction of evil portrayed by Roman with EX skills.

Maximizing the symbolism possible thanks to Gleipnir.

Kuuuuung ───!!!

As Gankan’s charge collided with Roman’s weapon, a rumble similar to an earthquake spread.

The mansion that lost its owner collapsed.

In the rubble of a collapsed building.

The two shadows jumped out and continued to merge.

– I dare to take the famous horse of Pandemonium that Naberius gave as a reward… Igaaaaan!!!

“If you survived by sacrificing your horse, you should be thankful.”

– I will steal your soul and torture you for the rest of your life!!!

Gankan returned the lance to the great sword after losing her horse in the previous battle of strength.

Roman’s entire palm was torn due to the force of the impact, and blood was flowing.

Jjaeang!

Every time the two swords collided, an ear-piercing roar rang out.

They swung their weapons without taking a single step back.

Kagak…! Kagagak…!

If the head was attached to the Dullahan, the forehead would touch.

Completely attached.

Each other’s legs, enduring a struggle of strength, dig into the floor and break the stone.

“Hey.”

– !

While Roman was receiving the force, he suddenly tilted the blade and released the force.

Teuong!

The sound of hitting metal with bone.

With a swing of her elbow, Gankan’s great sword was completely pushed out of its orbit.

Not a bad opportunity.

He immediately stabbed and swung the Rakshasa.

Shaak -!

When the Rakshasa brushed against her armor, part of it was cut like butter.

Roman continued to attack with momentum.

[Gyoryongak (嚙龍脚)]

A straight kick to the head of her, pretending to aim for the upper body her with the Rakshasa.

To protect the heads of the four knights, Gankan rolled up his upper body and used his shoulders as shields.

Fazijik ───!!!

A toe stuck in a head made of flesh with the threat of exploding.

From the outside, the shoulder armor blocked Roman’s dark red aura without any special damage.

Nevertheless, one arm of the Dullahan is trembling.

Even if there appears to be no damage on the outside, the influence of the aura that has penetrated the body is clearly present.

Sigh!

Retrieving the Gleipnir he had swung, Roman calmly surveyed the battlefield.

Gankan is extremely alert not only to Rakshasha but also to all attacks coming from my body.

‘If you go like this, close range is superior.’

The head is also on guard, but the big thing is that it still insists on attacking with only one hand.

There, Roman cuts his movements short and digs into his arms endlessly.

‘No matter how strong you are, if it doesn’t hit you, it’s the same.’

Avoiding the great sword with bold courage, like now.

We insist on tight spacing.

If you dodge with a large movement, the efficiency of responding will decrease.

Boldness is needed to win in a limited time.

Minimal movement, steps to take a seat, hand gestures that sow confusion.

‘Mixing one trick after another.’

Roman is seizing every opportunity to score a valid hit.

That time when I stretch out my Rakshasa and target the lower body with Gleipnir.

Gankan unfolded his defensively crouched body and exploded with mana.

[Berserker]

[War cry]

– Wow!!!

A shout that would tear a banshee to pieces.

The atmosphere exploded, forcing Roman, who was stuck, to be pushed out.

Roman protected his ears by hastily sealing them with mana.

-···It is a final decision. I can’t show Naberius any more shame than this.

Her whole body was blazing with green flames as she pointed towards Gankan.

[Evil focus]

A black target in the shape of a cross appeared in front of Roman.

“How much?”

– Hmm!

Gankan threw the head of the four knights, who was holding her in one hand, high into the sky.

She held the red great sword with both hands.

Gankan, who was given the name Dullahan, is a warrior type that is rare even among demons.

This demon does not require any complicated black magic. Containing a dark aura of uncleanness that is no different from deadly poison to humans.

Running. It stabs. Cut it. Crush.

It is said that what it has is a skill that simply increases destructive power and speed.

Depending on the caster’s capabilities, it is fear itself.

‘···This time it’s real.’

The intimidation and momentum of the explosively rising Gankan.

[Inferno]

The flames from the Dullahan’s body enveloped the great sword.

Swish!

For response.

Roman held the Rakshasa in front of him and closed his eyes.

[Heart – pure yang]

Gleipnir, connected to the Rakshasa, gently wraps around the arm.

There was a noble aura around the blade.

– Naberius!!!

[Demonic blow]

A voice emanating from the cut surface, showing off explosive power.

The headless knight raised his greatsword with both hands with great enthusiasm.

The moment when Gankan slams his weapon down at Roman.

Contains the energy of pure yang.

Roman opened his eyes from his seat and swung his sword, pouring mana into Rakshasa and Gleipnir.

[Heart – Jeganseoak (除奸鋤惡)]
