Chapter 48 – Qualifications of a Hero (7)
◈
Kalt advanced further inward, taking care of the kobolds.
Kalt is slaughtering kobolds with movements that seem unrealistic to the average person.
However, Kalt did not use the Mana Blade while eliminating so many kobolds.
In the first place, with Kalt’s skills, he can cut down a kobold’s body just by swinging his sword, even without using a mana blade.
Cut and go inside.
Cut and go inside.
Cut and go inside.
After cutting down only as many kobolds as Nellis and his party could handle, Kalt continued onward.
And at the end of moving on.
‘I found it.’
Kalt was able to find the Kobold King.
An individual that is four times the size of a normal kobold and has one eye colored purple.
In addition to the Kobold Warriors, two Kobold Knights, a higher species, were surrounding the Kobold King, holding huge swords in both hands.
‘I’m getting tired of cutting down kobolds, so I’ll finish it all at once.’
“Whoa…”
Exhaling, I tighten my grip on my sword and infuse more strength and magic into my strengthened legs.
The moment Kalt hit the ground, the wind became stronger than the gale that had slaughtered the kobolds so far, and cut down the kobolds blocking his path.
-Crrrreut!
The Kobold King noticed the presence of an enemy approaching him, with a bloody wind rising in front of him.
However, no matter how many kobolds died, the Kobold King did not fear or run away.
You can make as many kobolds as you like anyway.
There are masterpieces that you have grown around you now.
They are powerful warriors who can crush and cut down all arrogant humans with their leather, which is several times thicker than that of kobolds, as well as their enormous physical strength.
-Crrrr!
The Kobold King ordered his men.
Kill that human!
First, the Kobold Warrior at the front rushed towards Kalt.
A kobold warrior swinging his sword at Kalt, who is in the middle of cutting down a kobold.
The intention was to take advantage of the opportunity and kill Kalt while cutting down the lower-ranking compatriots.
But.
The Kobold Warrior’s actions had to be interrupted midway.
Suddenly!
The Kobold Warrior’s arm was cut off by Kalt’s sword, which had already cut him while he was swinging his arm.
The moment his eyes widened when he saw his own severed arm.
Already at that time, the Kobold Warrior’s neck was separated from the body by Kalt’s sword.
-Crrrr!
Even though their own people died easily, the other Kobold Warriors were not afraid.
This is because the instinct to carry out the king’s orders, low intelligence, and the monster’s instinct to attack humans eliminated the very thought of being defeated by the Kobold Warriors.
The Kobold Warriors all rushed towards Kalt.
Patter!
Just like the previous Kobold Warrior, he ended up having his arms and neck cut off and falling to the floor.
I didn’t like the Kobold King.
Why do you lose so easily?
Pathetic things.
I can’t believe they can’t catch a person like that.
Stupid guys.
It’s a waste of magic that created you.
But it’s okay.
In the end, that person dies.
The strongest subordinates I have created will tear him apart.
Look.
My strongest subordinates swing their weapons at him with both hands.
That sword will not be able to cut the skin of my strongest subordinates.
He will tremble in fear like any other human being and turn into meat paste.
He dies.
Humans die.
A person who can beat me…
Suddenly.
The arms of the strongest subordinates were blown off.
Suddenly.
The knees of the strongest subordinates were cut.
Suddenly.
The throats of the strongest subordinates were cut.
What is it?
What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what is that monster!
It’s dangerous.
It’s coming.
Call your subordinate again… !
Sigh!
-Krraaaaa!
The upward trajectory of Kalt’s sword cut through the Kobold King’s torso and into his purple eyes.
“Huh, even though you’re a king, the leather is really tough, isn’t it?”
-Krrrraaaaa!
The Kobold King swung his hand towards Kalt, covering his cut eye with one hand.
The Kobold King’s nails have destructive power that is incomparable to that of the Kobold Warrior’s nails.
However, in front of Kalt, such destructive attacks were nothing more than slow attacks that could be easily avoided.
Chop clap!
“Hmm, it’s tough as expected.”
Several sword wounds are left on the arm of the Kobold King who swung, and blood bleeds.
Kalt didn’t bother to use the Mana Blade because it was tough.
When I used it on the Kobold Warrior, it was just to demonstrate to Nellis.
The magical eyes have already been cut.
There is no need for him to create any more kobolds.
Moreover, this guy can be said to be the main culprit in harassing the villagers, including Nadia and Runia, who had made him feel good for nearly a month.
“If you finish it easily, it’s too bland, right?”
-K, krraaaaat!
Seeing Kalt raising the corners of his mouth, the Kobold King felt fear for the first time.
With his heart pounding in fear, the Kobold King instinctively swung his claws recklessly using his gigantic body to get rid of the person causing fear.
“Even if you say he’s a king, he’s ultimately a kobold.”
Kalt easily avoided the Kobold King’s claws this time.
And.
“It’s just a big body, but it doesn’t have anything on its head.”
Chop clap clap clap!
It became a gale again and swung the sword towards the Kobold Kingman at a speed invisible to the ordinary eye.
-Crrraaaaat!
My arms are cut, my feet are cut, my stomach is cut, my back is cut, my shoulder is cut.
Even though I roar in pain and swing my arms around, the sword does not stop.
Even as he kicks the ground, the gale follows the Kobold King and cuts through his body.
Blood splatters around.
Life is gradually decreasing.
Instead of ending it all at once, the Kobold King felt it instinctively as he continued to receive sword wounds on his body.
He says his life is getting smaller and smaller.
We are approaching death.
It was the fear of death that the Kobold King felt for the first time since he was born.
In a panic, the Kobold King struggled to escape from death.
I kicked the ground more.
It’s no use, the gale continues to follow.
I grabbed the kobold in front of me and threw it away.
It was no use, the gale immediately cut down the kobold and then itself.
The pain felt from the ever-increasing number of swords could not be felt in the face of overwhelming fear.
The Kobold King simply ran forward for his own survival.
Meanwhile.
Kalt thought as he looked at the Kobold King, who was almost dying from repeated sword strikes.
If I do well, it will be a good opportunity to test Nellis one last time.
While teaching Nellis, Kalt thought that Nellis had the mindset to be a better warrior than Maybelle.
But how strong is that heart?
Even though she is faced with a stronger enemy than herself.
Nellis is timid and scared in front of strong enemies, to the point where her divine protection is affected.
Will he be able to show himself as a warrior?
Even if she runs away, I have no intention of blaming her.
It’s important to cherish her life, but Nellis hasn’t even been hypnotized yet.
Even if she runs away, just encourage her to do better next time.
But she knows that if Nellis fights back…
‘Ah, we’re almost there.’
While Kalt was lost in thought, the Kobold King was about to get close to where Nellis and the others were.
‘Okay, then…’ .’
For your safety.
Suddenly!
-Craaaaa!
Kalt clearly cut the tendons on both wrists of the Kobold King.
◈
A huge, bloody kobold is running towards the village.
Nellis was embarrassed and astonished at the sight.
Where did such a monster come out?
Why is it so bloody?
Where is Mr. Kalt?
At that moment, such thoughts passed quickly through my mind.
But those thoughts came to mind as the Kobold King got closer and closer.
‘Ma, we have to stop it!’
“Ha! Ha!”
Even though it was covered in blood, it was a completely different monster with a sense of intimidation radiating from its body.
My heart is racing, and my teeth are chattering together without me realizing it.
Nevertheless, Nellis did not back down.
Because if you get out of here and that monster keeps charging, you might end up inside the village.
At the same time, there was hope that if he blocked well, Kalt would come and deal with that monster.
Above all.
“What is that! Haaaaa!”
“God! Throw a sword at that wicked man!”
Pooooo!
Pup puk!
Seeing the monster charging, Scarlett and Aria also respond by using magic and holy attacks.
My colleague is doing his best.
As a warrior, I couldn’t back down from here.
“Aaaaah!”
Nellis rushed forward, tightening her trembling hands.
“Should I let you go?”
The size difference is clear.
So first, swing your sword at his leg to make him fall.
I had such a plan in my head.
However, before Nellis could think, the Kobold King’s flaccid arm struck Nellis.
Whoa, whoa!
“Ugh…!”
An attack in which the tendon is cut, and the fist is not properly clenched, and the fist is simply swung.
However, its power is not enough to send Nellis flying through the gate blocking her entrance to her village.
Kwaaaaang!
The flying Nellis had enough power to break the door blocking her entrance and fly all the way into the village.
“”Nellis!””
“Cough! Cough!”
Even if you feel fear, Nellis’s protection does not mean that you have completely lost its power.
Because the Kobold King’s attack was sudden and faster than Nellis realized.
Nellis did not weaken sharply because she did not properly recognize the gap between herself and the Kobold King.
That’s why Nellis was able to maintain enough strength to withstand it.
Even though his arms were numb, and his back was very sore from hitting the village entrance, Nellis was able to stand up.
‘Well, what is it? Me… Did it fly away? Even inside the village?’
And the moment it happened, Nellis could feel what she had experienced.
At the same time, he could imagine how strong the monster that had just attacked him was.
I was lucky just now.
Because I didn’t notice it, I realized that my protection had not weakened at all.
And now, the moment I noticed the power gap.
“Ah, ahhh…”
Due to the fear Nellis felt, the protection of the veil weakened.
“Stop! Stop!”
Puff puff puff!
“Thank God!”
Pupupupupup!
-Krraaaaa!
Kwaaaaang!
The Kobold King, who did not stop even though his body was scorched by flames and several swords of light were stuck in his body, completely destroyed the entrance to the village and entered the village.
