95. Dark green monsters in a blizzard (1)

The situation was not good.

No, I think it’s the worst thing that could happen.

Entered into battle.

Sia Bell and his soldiers were advancing, taking the hearts and necks of the kobolds.

Sione was shooting an arrow next to the priest.

I was no different either.

Let Shione support the vanguard from a safe rearguard.

I was only aiming her kobold close to Flora to teach her her knack as her archer.

I was hiding behind a thick wooden pole and pulling a protest silently as if a rat had died, but something happened.

Out of all the possible situations that could arise in the current situation, it would not be insufficient to say that this is the worst situation.

From now on, kobolds. And then the wolves.

Literally a quandary.

“Kong… !”

Holding Flora in her arms, who had almost lost her life due to a mistake, she pierced the wolf that attacked her again at the same time as her surprise failed.

The pure white sword pierced the wolf’s muzzle and ripped through the inside. I felt a strong repulsive force from the swaying sword for a moment, but that was short-lived.

Burr.

His body shook once, and soon the wolf’s model collapsed.

“I’m going crazy.”

Even when I went out to search again, I made up my mind to just shoot an arrow comfortably from behind.

I never thought I’d draw my sword again like this.

I immediately glanced around me and lifted Flora, who was terrified in my arms.

“Get up. There are not just one or two wolves.”

The wolves appeared as if they had no intention of hiding anymore.

However, they never surrounded us.

It’s just growling in a low voice, as if it wants to pass this place.

There was not a single one that openly showed an intention to attack like the guy who was pierced by my sword just before.

No, rather.

‘… It looks like he’s terrified.’

I don’t have the ability to judge emotions by looking at a dog’s face, but isn’t there an atmosphere that feels a bit intuitive?

At least to me, the wise hunters, the wolves, seemed frightened by something.

I am the deepest part of the pack of wolves.

I saw wolves in the back, watching carefully not for us, but for their path.

‘Over there.’

West of the county, where the Beltrin Mountains are located.

As Siabelle had said, it was the very place where the excited orcs were rampaging to the fullest.

“Ray! Are you okay!”

Shione wrapped her arms around the priest at the sudden appearance of the wolf and shouted.

“I’m fine!”

After lightly responding to Sione’s words, I took care of Flora who was lost.

“Since the situation is not good, I will speak less.”

At my words, Flora nodded after closing her eyes.

“Where was the wolf injured?”

“That… no.”

“There must have been no bending of the ankle while rolling.”

She stomped on the ground and turned her ankle to gauge her condition.

“I didn’t even hurt my ankle….”

“Then wake up and get ready to run.”

His ankles are also strong. You don’t even need to tighten it up.

After that, we went straight back to Sione.

As we turned our backs and ran, there were several wolves who tried to attack us, but Sione shot an arrow and solved them all.

As we hurriedly joined Shione and the priest, Shione blocked the approach of the wolves by firing one more arrow and asked.

“Where did you get hurt?”

“No. It’s not like you’re going to break just by rolling on the ground a little.”

“It’s good.”

Let’s engage with the kobolds in the front, and a close confrontation with the wolves here.

Eventually, Siabelle began to use mana in earnest.

She layered the condensed mana on her sword. Aura Blades that were created at a faster rate than before. By handling mana, he properly uses his body, which has become stronger, and quickly begins to deal with the remaining remnants.

‘At this rate, Siabelle’s side will soon be able to help this side after the battle with the kobolds.’

To some extent, the distance with the wolf has increased again.

After sweeping the blood off the sword, I put it in the scabbard and put it to sleep.

Then, as I took an arrow out of the quiver and put it on the string, Flora cautiously approached me and whispered.

“Thank you for saving me… !”

“Why don’t you get your thanks later, and now put an arrow through the string?”

Flora plunged into battle again, a look of tension evident on her face.

As expected, Flora was pulling the bowstring with a clear expression of nervousness.

The tip of her arrowhead was trembling little by little without aiming for a single point.

After many battles, it’s not that many arrows.

It’s a waste to consume each arrow without proper effective hits.

I opened my mouth to relieve Flora’s tension, which was eating away at her skills.

“Even if the wolf comes close, I will protect you just like before, so relax a little.”

“… Thank you.”

At my words, Flora studied my face for a moment.

Then he looked at the wolves with a calm gaze.

Her arrowheads no longer quivered.

However, after that, I suddenly felt a cold chill behind my back and my body shivered.

… It’s not even windy.

Why is that? When I looked behind her for a second to check, Shione was smiling with the corner of her mouth twisting.

“Why is that?”

From noble mtl dot com

“… It’s too kind, so I’m going to wear it.”

… Mouth is such a problem, mouth.

After muttering that, Shione told me with a disapproving expression.

“Let’s talk about this later, just the two of us.”

After hearing Shione’s words, I shook her head, and then continued the confrontation.

Thanks to Siabelle’s efforts, the kobolds were cleaned up faster than ever.

Expert knights and soldiers who soon joined us also hurriedly organized the wolves.

The battle did not last long.

The wolves were overrun in front of the Aura Blade, and when their numbers dwindled, they hurriedly chose to flee.

If there’s one catch, it’s that the wolves look scared no matter how you look at them…….

It was then.

“Keruk!!”

“Kong!!”

What happened from the forest where the wolves appeared?

One after another, kobolds came out.

“… You seem terrified.”

It was as Shione said.

I didn’t feel any fighting spirit from the kobold that came out of the bush.

All I can feel is fear and fear, just like those wolves.

I wrinkled my brow, feeling the ominous feeling growing deeper.

* *

The weather suddenly turned bad.

The cold wind harasses us as a cold wind blowing through the northern permafrost.

I wish I could shine a little sunlight on my cooled body.

Thanks to the gloomy, dark gray clouds that filled the clear yet empty sky, the reality is that not even one of them is difficult.

Wow!

As the strong wind blew, not only the bushes but also the branches of the trees shook greatly. The wind is getting stronger. Same with Flora and Sione. In this situation, there is no one who is not shivering in the cold.

Before the weather gets worse than this.

“Today ends here, let’s return to the base!”

In the end, Sia Bell decided that it would be difficult to advance further than this, so she decided to return to the base.

We started slowly going back the way we had come.

I think I walked for about 5 minutes.

Shione, who was rubbing his hands together and trying to cool off somehow, looked up at the sky.

“Ray, Ray.”

“Why is that?”

“Look up at the sky.”

“You mean the sky?”

I looked up at Sione’s words, and I was able to see them.

“The first snow of the year is finally falling at the count’s house.”

From the sky, fluff of white trash was falling.

“Looking at it like this, even a forest road like this looks very elegant.”

After saying that, Shione walked forward briskly.

* *

“I want to go home now… ….”

Shione wiped away his runny nose and whined.

They were so excited when it first snowed.

Now, Shione was praying with her hands together for her eyes to stop.

Bad weather.

We ended up on a forest road in bad weather.

The sharp wind blowing and the snow falling incessantly. The two blended together to create a blizzard that made it difficult to see ahead. We are just praying that a foothold will appear by moving forward somehow in this terrible situation.

Those women, including Siabelle, are facing each other through a blizzard.

I was in the midst of following them, taking care of Shione, whose stamina had declined, using the people in front as a shield from the wind and wondering if she might fall behind.

“Write… ….”

The body temperature begins to drop.

Even the fur hat Shione put on her gets cold and gnaws away at my spirit.

Then my body froze in the cold and I couldn’t move well.

Because I also needed to share my body temperature with someone like them.

Immediately clung to Shione.

“Ooh… ray… ?”

Without answering, I wrapped my right arm tightly around her waist.

It was an action to block the wind blowing from behind.

“Would you like to put your hands together and cover my left hand for a moment?”

“Suddenly… ?”

“Please try it once.”

“Ummm… okay.”

Shione covered my left hand with his hand curled up.

Then I used mana.

Hwareuk!

There are two attributes of spirit magic that I can handle. Wind and fire.

Among them, he used the energy of fire to create sparks.

Although the distance between Shione and the flame was closer than necessary, there was no need to worry. The spirit’s flame can interfere so that the caster can burn only the things he wants.

I captured the warm heat in Shione’s hands.

“This is… !”

A typical reaction from someone who saw a glimpse of new hope.

Shione’s dead eyes began to shine brightly.

I warmed Shione’s hands.

I immediately grabbed her hand and put it on my cheeks.

“Haa… ….”

I think I’m going to buy some now.

Since my face is a bit warm, it feels like the headache that was pounding from the cold has calmed down a bit.

“Shione-sama, show your face like this too.”

“Huh? Are you talking about me?”

“If you do, who else is talking to me?”

“… I get it.”

After saying that, Shione brought my face closer to me.

I put her warmed left hand on her cheek.

“How is it, isn’t it warm?”

“… Huh. It is very warm.”

“If you do, please put your hands together again soon.”

Roughly, I was moving forward, warming myself by the fire without the knowledge of the women in front of me.

Kung…. Thud….

“…… ?”

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood.

The beating of the ground rode up through my feet.

The echo rode up on me and put my nerves on edge.

I looked back as I extinguished the small fire I had lit in the palm of my hand.

“Ray, why are you like this?”

“That is—”

I lingered and delayed my answer.

Beyond my vision, limited by the blizzard.

Because I saw something, what appeared to be a dark shadow approaching, hiding itself from the sound of the strong wind.

Soon, the shadows narrowed the distance from us even more.

Me and Shione were able to clearly identify its true identity.

“Ah….”

A grim-looking goblin costume with an impressive pig nose.

His huge body, broad shoulders, and even that dark green skin.

Chwiik.

Seeing him snort strongly, I nervously recited Korean.

“f*ck it.”

Why does the ominous feeling I always come to come true?

The orc’s pupils were bloodshot red.

As if he were proving that he was ferocious.
