57 – Grief and the Black Knights (3)

Lucy and Aaron were able to find out how the current situation was going through Maharet.

An attack by unknown undead knights,

Bligh’s death confirmed,

scattered members,

…..and even the death of one of the crew members, Raiden Lisitt.

The two, who heard the story from Maharet, were speechless due to the shock that hit their heads.

“…Bligh is dead?”

“……Raiden?”

A word from each of them spat out empty.

Small murmurs are crumbled in the blowing autumn wind.

Fragments of the sound, wandering about in the air, returned to their mouths and chewed.

“……”

“I-I can’t believe it… it can’t be…”

Aaron opened his mouth, closed it repeatedly, and eventually closed it.

Lucy denied Maharet’s words with a trembling voice.

Maharet… was looking at the two with blank eyes.

It was none other than Aron who was the first to come to his senses in the chaotic situation.

He took a few deep breaths, ran his hand across his face a few times, and wiped the agitation from his face.

“To put things together, Professor Bligh’s death is certain.”

His cool-headed acceptance of the obituary of a colleague with whom he had been with him for over five years was truly professional.

“Currently, the remaining members of the team, Golden Sun and Violet, are missing, and Raiden Lisitt is presumed dead.”

Maharet nodded quietly.

“Um…”

Aaron rubs his chin and lets out a small saliva.

A lot of thoughts were running through his head.

Among the faculty members of the academy, Bligh, who was said to be the strongest except for Coron Logesia, lost his life.

3 students who disappeared under such circumstances.

……There is a high possibility that one of them has already died.

Aaron had to make a decision.

Are you going to find the rest of the students?

Or will you retreat to base camp?

Considering Lucy and Maharet beside him, choosing the latter was the right choice.

It was much safer to get the two students safely back to base camp, and then form a separate team to search.

‘…But, it would take too long.’

Time is life in this situation.

Even a little staggered time can cost students their lives.

After returning to camp, the time it takes to come back to the forest is 4 hours no matter how short it is.

It’s been too long.

‘Is it the sure safety of the students next to you… or the safety of the students who are in danger…’

Aaron weighed the two options, then sighed as he felt his head pounding.

He eventually decided to hand over the choice to the parties.

“Princess, student Maharet. Please focus for a moment.”

With a heavy voice, Aaron drew the attention of the two people who were stunned.

He looked at the red eyes and blue eyes that were heading towards him, and explained step by step what he was thinking.

“……”

“……”

The two of them kept their mouths shut and listened to Aaron’s story in silence.

Aaron responded to the reaction of the two, ‘Am I listening properly…?’ I had to continue explaining while thinking the same thing.

Fortunately, by the time he finished his explanation.

“…Looking for other people… I think it’s right.”

Maharet, who had been sitting down and lowering his head, opened his mouth.

And, after that, Lucy also opened her mouth.

“Perhaps… by any chance, Raiden might have survived… so let’s look around…”

Two people who convey their will with trembling voices.

Aaron nodded at the answer and rose from his seat.

“Okay. Let’s start right away.”

Lucy and Maharet made a choice.

Even if the choice is chosen as if driven by momentary guilt or momentary hope,

Aaron decided to respect their choice.

ㅡWheei Iik!

Aaron whistles loudly and calls the horses grazing in the distance.

He explained the rough search route and held the reins of the galloping horses.

that moment-

“I’ll move along the canyon for now. Then go downstairs…”

ㅡQuaaang!!!

A piercing sound shook the entire forest.

“…..?!?”

The three people looked at the place where the sound came from, startled.

The place their eyes reached was the end of the forest located in the lower reaches of the Mutangang River.

ㅡBoom! bang! bang!

roaring sound in succession.

It was the sound of something hitting violently.

“…I guess I’ll have to fix the route.”

At Aaron’s muttering words, Lucy and Maharet nodded their heads.

.

.

.

ㅡBang, Giggig…. Bung!

The swords that were competing for strength while facing each other were violently struck.

As a result, the center of gravity is leaned backwards, and the staff twists in one beat.

At that moment, two sword strikes flew at the perfect timing.

Up to seven arrows aiming at the blind spot at the same time.

ㅡWhere you go!

Realizing there was no way out, I had no choice but to use one of Blink’s stocks I had been saving.

“Blink×1”

ㅡFajik

My eyes blink, and at the same time my body flickers, arrows pound into the spot where I was standing.

f*ck, what kind of shotgun is that bow?

How do you get seven shots per shot?

As I drool over the undead archer’s spirited shooting skills, I heard the sound of the wind behind my back.

Recognizing through my ‘super sense’ that it was the sound of a sword strike, I quickly rolled forward.

ㅡQuaang!!!

The greatsword, which missed its target, was driven into the ground, cracking and splitting the fine ground.

“This crazy!!”

No matter how much the ‘steel body’ effect is, if it hits properly, it will go to the goal, right?

Breaking into a cold sweat, I distanced myself from the great swordsman.

These bastards… the mood suddenly changed.

To be exact, after I cut down the two knights.

Perhaps they started recognizing me as a dangerous person, and there were no more puns that came from time to time.

‘Thanks to you, I feel like dying…’

I murmured as I slashed the sword attacks coming from all directions one by one.

large, well-organized

Sharp stabbing attacks between solid defenses,

Even the heavy linkages that follow.

The reason why I was able to easily cut down the first two was because they were careless…

Damn, I thought I ate a little bit raw…

I clicked my tongue lightly and speeded up the staff.

Every time it strikes the ground, a puncture sound resonates, and the body accelerates repeatedly.

ㅡWhere you go!!

The body becomes the wind and flies through the air,

After that, the blue aura emitted by the sword of sorrow flies as an afterimage.

What came into sight were two knights approaching head-on.

Explodes the momentum and swings the sword violently horizontally.

ㅡ bang!!!

Swords collided with each other, and a roar rang out.

As if they couldn’t overcome the force, the black knights were pushed back.

I drove them and moved my sword.

ㅡBoom! bang! bang!

A bloody shock sound resounded as if it came from a hammer.

Every time I accelerated my body and applied strength to my hand, I could see the opponent’s posture crumbling.

As I overwhelm the two knights, the remaining two knights join in the melee.

The sound of the Grand Prosecutor’s footsteps came from behind.

After that, I felt a bloody sword attack from a greatsword.

At that, I quickly grabbed the armour of the knight who was facing the sword and knocked it back.

A huge sword fell over the head of the knight who fell to the floor.

ㅡQuaaa!!!!

With a roar, the undead turned into lumps of porridge.

Pieces of corpses falling to the floor touches my feet.

….That really shouldn’t fit.

Watching the bloody teamkill scene, I swallowed dry saliva.

Leaping again, clashing swords with the remaining knights.

ㅡBoom! bang! Kiki…! blank!!

In the red forest with autumn leaves blowing.

A harsh rupture erupts from within.

The movement of the sword blows away as a storm, and the storm cuts through the enemies in front of it.

Silver solid lines embroidered in the air,

To those who have already met death once, they are given death again.

“Haap!!”

My legs, which had been whipped like whips, exploded at the thighs of the Grand Prosecutor who was pushing through.

A low kick that goes perfectly.

ㅡ Ugdeug!!

The Grand Swordsman’s thighs dented, and the sound of bones being crushed could be heard.

Subsequently, the body of the great swordsman tilted and collapsed.

My sword, which does not miss the gap, splits his body in half.

ㅡSuddenly!

The huge body collapsed with a bloody sound.

I kicked that torso towards the archer standing behind me.

ㅡPeruk!

With a dull sound, the archer was crushed under a huge chunk of meat.

Seeing him, I picked up the great sword off the floor and threw it at his head.

ㅡWoojijik!

The flying greatsword shattered the bowman’s head.

“haha….”

breathing hard

No matter how much the ‘steel body’ effect was, it seemed that he had moved his tired body too much.

I want to fall to the ground right now, but unfortunately there are still two enemies left in front of my eyes.

“Tsk…..”

He clicked his tongue and spat out the blood that was pooled in his mouth.

Through the dark red blood, fragments of broken teeth mixed in.

“Haa… f*ck… that’s f*cking hard…”

I spit out curses for no reason and catch up on my shaky vision.

The appearance of the black knights soaked in bewilderment was reflected in his eyes.

“What are you looking at, you f*ckers?”

“…….”

“You bastards… you ruined my first school trip because of you…”

Although I complained a little bit,

It was kind of fun though.

“Whoa…”

breathed out deeply.

Judging from the status window that I checked at first glance, the duration of the remaining ‘super sense’ is now about 2 minutes.

It was time to make a decision.

“…let’s finish it quickly.”

A weak voice raised the sword.

The direction the sword was aimed at was the direction in which the great knight was standing.

“I’ll send you where you need to be.”

I do so

“Blink×4”

recited an incantation.
