21. My Knight (3)

“Ray”

Shione seems to be trying to say something in a serious mood.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t pay attention to her words.

Because there were five people wearing black robes that were pressed deep behind her.

The sudden appearance of five people who are suspicious to anyone.

I can’t help but think that the situation I was worried about happened.

While watching them, I drew out my sword without hesitation and stood guard.

Seeing me like that, Shione’s expression hardened.

“…Ray?”

Well, I think he was trying to talk about something important by calling my name.

It would be embarrassing to pull out the sword like this, but I couldn’t help it.

Her life could be in danger if it happened.

I immediately approached Sione and pulled her toward me.

Perhaps because of the sword in my hand, I felt a sense of resistance from Shione.

He seemed to have read the sincerity from my face, and he followed my will without muttering.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Suspicious people have appeared.”

“A suspicious person?”

“Look over there.”

Sione turned her body to face those I was guarding.

Lee, who was approaching us first, and Shione’s eyes crossed.

Then I heard the voice of a woman whose eyes met Shione’s.

“From the Cianella family pattern engraved on the carriage, to that silver hair. As expected, Cianella was right.”

She quietly drew her sword.

A well-maintained sword had a cool anticipation at the end of the day.

“It takes a while to be the incompetent second rather than the easy-to-get and talented third. Even if you are incompetent, if you, who inherited Cianella’s blood, were to be summoned as a sacrifice to the devil, what kind of person would emerge?”

She pointed her sword at Shione and me.

Unmistakable animosity was directed at us.

“Aren’t you excited too?”

She asked my colleagues.

“Let’s hand it to the shaman quickly. As it’s Cianella’s blood, you’ll receive a lot of blessings.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been blessed, so I’m looking forward to it, believers.”

There was a reason why she gave off a more gloomy atmosphere than Sione, who had been stuck in the corner of her room since the first time I saw her.

Of course, I’m reluctant to talk like that with b*tches praising the devil.

I ignored the fanatics talking nonsense and looked at Sione.

As if the story of those who treat themselves as sacrifices is not easily understood.

It was not very nice to be there with a bewildered expression.

In this state, I don’t think I’ll be able to wield a sword properly.

I think it would be better for me to step back and block it somehow.

“Stand back. I’ll protect you.”

“Huh…?”

Oh, really.

I told you to step back a bit so you can bounce whenever you want.

Seeing her mouth open like a goldfish in place, I was stunned.

Took.

I slapped her on the shoulder and pulled her back.

Circumstances are circumstance. I wouldn’t say anything about hitting the shoulder.

“No matter how incompetent he is, he’s the second most famous, but he’s hiding behind a male attendant. It’s amazing.”

The demon worshiper, who was aiming a sword, raised the corner of his mouth fishyly.

At the same time, her new shape was shaken.

Taat!

The speed at which she came to her land and approached me was beyond my imagination.

… I think it’s about the level of a sword user.

If I tried to avoid a sword user’s attack with my pure physical abilities, her sword would pierce my stomach.

I began to use the tiny amount of mana stored in my heart.

One of my other talents is spirit magic.

Originally, I was able to use a total of three attributes, but now only wind is left.

That alone is enough to catch such a clumsy b*tch.

I put elemental magic on my body.

At the same time as the feeling of the breeze brushing my cheeks, my body felt lighter than ever.

“Don’t think that you will die in peace as you belonged to Cianella as well!”

Her sword aimed at my heart and pierced it.

A very linear attack.

This is a characteristic of those who have reached the level of mana users only with their talent for mana.

Lowly swordsmanship that couldn’t even make use of my enhanced physical abilities.

I simply turned right away and dodged the attack.

“How about the male subject?”

I couldn’t believe I was the one who avoided the sword user’s attack.

She took a break for a moment.

I didn’t miss the chance and operated mana in an instant.

What is needed is instantaneous acceleration.

As soon as a tornado burst out around me, I threw myself away.

Fu-wook.

A sharp sword lodged in the devil worshiper’s neck.

She tried to tease me all the way with an expression of disbelief.

I’ve seen this expression many times in past dungeons through the guys who were pierced by my arrows.

I ignored it without anything unusual.

Retrieving the sword, I pushed her limp body away.

You can’t just fall in front of me and block the space to move.

After I dealt with the sword users relatively easily, the remaining four pulled out their swords.

“…Work has become a nuisance.”

Half of the mana he wasted for just one stabbing escaped in a lump.

If all four of them are skilled sword users, even I can’t handle it.

I looked at Sione behind me.

I could see her hands trembling slightly.

I felt completely terrified as people died right in front of my eyes.

Somehow, for Shione, who has lived with the same ceiling in her room for years, this kind of scenery must have been very shocking.

No matter how long her hiatus was, Shione wanted to borrow her power as she is a sword user’s knight.

What kind of help is there in such a state?

It was obvious that if I intervened here, I would only get in the way.

I swung my sword once to shake off the blood before taking a stance.

“…The man who killed the sword user. Avoid being careless as much as possible.”

Two women jumped out first.

Judging by the speed at which they kicked off the ground, it seems that those two have reached the level of sword users as well.

… I lost half my mana to catch a careless sword user.

To think there are two sword users like that.

I am already stressed out about how to overcome this difficulty.

Feeling my head pounding from the stress, I rolled mana again.

This time, I also applied spirit magic to my body.

Half of the remaining mana was drained out in a lump, and at the same time my body became faster.

“Hurry up and get some cyanella!”

The body of a sword user exceeds that of a normal person.

Thanks to the power and speed of that attack, which the crazy fanatic b*tch ignorantly draws down in a straight line, I am reluctant to deal with it.

In order to split my head in a straight line, I turned my body to the side and flowed the attack with my sword at the same time.

Chaeng! Chizuzuzuzu!

Blades collided with each other, and the scoundrel’s sword drifted down the path my sword had made.

“…f*ck.”

Because of the shock of the moment I clashed with the sword, I almost missed my sword.

My hands are still tingling and my wrists are screaming.

If it had been too late to twist it right away, he would have lost his weapon and had his heart pierced.

Damn it, I felt resentful of my weakened body.

I immediately burrowed into the arms of this devil worshiper b*tch.

Puck!!

Her fist pierced my belly, and I felt a tingle in my stomach and my mind went giddy.

But even so, the sword was stabbed somehow.

“Ouch…!”

Her body drooped along with the final horse.

As I quickly processed the year, caught my breath, and looked around, I saw another sword user passing me and heading towards Shione.

Damn Shione drew her sword against such a fanatic, but no matter who saw it, she was confronting her in an awkward position.

The person who wants to kill me has his eyes wide open in front of me, and he is so worried about swinging a sword.

That bastard is such a great bastard.

“…Damn it.”

I immediately collected all the remaining mana.

If you fight awkwardly like that while swinging swords around, Shione will lose in the end.

You should be able to kill it in one shot somehow.

At the same time as the mana and empty, I threw the sword.

At the same time as a fierce whirlwind burst out, my sword flew away at terrifying speed.

“Cheer!”

Trapped on her defenseless back, the devil worshiper who threatened Shion died thanks to the sword that pierced her chest.

Feeling a strong sense of exhaustion from mana exhaustion, I immediately approached Shione.

“Are you okay?”

“…Me, I’m fine, but you—”

Her eyes trembled like crazy when she saw a person being pierced to death right in front of her eyes.

What are you worried about when your condition is not normal?

“Please bear with me a little longer. It will be over soon.”

I hurriedly retrieved my sword and prepared myself to face the other two.

Now, the only ones left are two who appear to be normal swordsmen, not mana users.

Originally, they were at a level that could be handled somehow.

It caught me being in a state of mana exhaustion.

My legs were trembling little by little, and the feeling of helplessness was quite dangerous.

“Damn Cianella!”

I approached her, letting go of the clean but unremarkable devil worshiper’s blade.

In the aftermath of the clash just now, my arms are shaking to receive such a sword strike.

She had to lead her body somehow.

The target is the neck.

The moment he turned to deal with the last remaining enemy after clearing her throat immediately after spilling it.

A deep sense of exhaustion came over me like a wave.

Fluff.

Her legs, trembling from mana exhaustion, finally collapsed.

When that matters the most.

“You damn bastard… I’ll tear you apart and kill you and use it as wealth.”

At that moment, the last remaining enemy approached to thrust his sword at me.

Fu-wook.

There was the sound of something sharp cutting through the fabric.

“…Cianella’s seed, which would be fine even if it was torn to pieces.”

She looked at Shione, who had pierced my heart, with her dark flesh.

“I will wait in hell.”

After her death, her model collapsed, and Shione approached me and lowered her body to check on her condition.

“…Ray, how is your body?”

“…A simple mana drain.”

“Wasn’t sword users your opponents…! Was it really all about mana exhaustion…?”

Shione’s eyes were shaking like crazy.

As I looked at her, the hand holding her sword was shaking unnaturally.

Only then did I see Shione crouching down as if she had done something wrong.

It was too much hostility for someone who was confined to a room.

Killing people would have shaken her morality.

I quietly hugged her.

“You don’t have to feel deeply guilty about this.”

Shione flinched at my words.

“…I didn’t kill people with my own hands.”

“They were devil worshipers, enemies of mankind.”

“The b*tch who cried out that she wanted to become a proud knight of Cianella couldn’t help even one of her attendants who fought for me, even shedding her blood.”

“In the end, didn’t you save me at the end? If it wasn’t for Sione-nim, I would have collapsed on the cold floor.”

I quietly patted her.

“You said you wanted to be a proud knight of Cianella.”

“…….”

“At least to me, Sione-nim, who protected me, seemed more proud than anyone else.”

At those words, Sione silently hugged me.

I accepted her foolishness for a while.
