Chapter 134 – Bandit

Certainly, Pellinore’s ability was great. It absorbs the damage received by allies, but the person himself endures even after receiving damage that would be left after dying dozens of times… Honestly, just looking at his toughness, it reminds me of a hero in mythology. In addition to that, it also looked like a huge statue of King Inwang when it was combined with a huge body.

“You’re quite fast! It seems that archmages are as good at martial arts as knights?”

“In the past, my older brothers taught me basic swordsmanship and martial arts.”

To be honest, even now, I was avoiding them with a piece of paper. It would be a different story if I could counterattack with taijutsu, but if I did, it would be the same as breaking the promise I had just made to myself.

I will always deal with this guy as ‘Werner’. Even if it means dying.

“Quit…”

Pellinore let out a short moan, unable to overcome the bitterness of the burning burn. And most of his men were lying on the ground, unable to overcome the pain.

Pellinore clearly said it absorbs damage, but he didn’t say he could absorb the pain. However, I was not sure, so I continued to experiment with magic that was quick and easy to use. As expected, it didn’t hinder movement, but I could confirm the reaction of biting my teeth or slightly squinting my eyes the moment I was hit by the attack.

However, the pain of the moment could not subdue Pellinore’s men.

At that time, I remembered that the greatest pain in the world I had seen somewhere was being burned. So, he used the magic called ‘Fire of Hell’ developed by Werner. The intense horn flower that burned for the guilt of the target was enough to subdue Pellinore’s men.

“As expected… A tiger’s subordinate is a tiger, isn’t it?”

They were like bandits in the green forest. The power of ‘Fire of Hell’ was a magic that changed its power according to the guilt of the target. Burning so fiercely, with a blue flame, it means that you have a great sense of guilt for condoning this situation. It was different from the trash that killed Count Holstead’s family.

“I will ask you one last time. If you surrender even now, I will turn off the lights and let you work under me. Do you really intend to walk with me?”

Even as his whole body was scorched, Pellinore did not lose his smile. I don’t know how the hell you got it. His tanking performance alone must have far surpassed Ricardo and Melchior.

“Even if they’re bandits, thieves have to live in the shadows. Just as lions don’t eat grass, thieves don’t get paid by the country.”

“… what do you mean?”

“Even if they are righteous, thieves who break the law should be punished with death. If you use us like that, there will be chaos in the country, and there will be people who will suffer in that chaos. Didn’t you say you would save people close to you? It seems we are destined to fight like this.”

He hated beautifying the villain. But… I wanted to make this guy on my side no matter what. I wanted to bring this romantic, upright person to this side by all means.

“Then, if you secretly make an offer as my ally…”

“Do not underestimate the Black Round Table. Such shallow pranks will soon be discovered. And… I hate using the shadows of darkness to deceive the people.”

yes it was me who was wrong Even if this guy’s one conviction was connected in the wrong direction, it shined more uprightly and purely than anyone else.

“You’re the best… yes… it’s a pity that I can’t walk with you. How nice it would have been if I had met you before you were here.”

“I agree. It would have been nice if you had been a little more flexible.”

“Isn’t it common for each other to be inflexible?”

Pellinore was laughing at my joke. Even if it absorbed only this amount of damage, it was clear that it would be painful if the body took dozens of times more damage from being burned.

“You are upright enough to reject my proposal while pursuing your dreams…”

“Like you, who doesn’t hold hands with me, who has fallen into the path of evil because he doesn’t know compromise…”

“I will resent the fact that I didn’t meet you before I entered the path of evil, and I will punish you.”

“I will fight with hope that the right people are still out there.”

I summoned Armadura. That was my respect to him in my own way, saying that I would fight with all my might.

“Die Archmage!”

“… I wanted you to live, bandit.”

As I always did, I gathered magic into my fingertips. Killing someone who might have been a really good friend was painful.

Pellinore raised his dagger again and lunged at me. The burns were severe, so even if he killed me, it was certain that he would die. Do you want to beat me like that? Even if you die yourself? Then, even if you can’t establish the justice you want? Is pride that important?

“Steel spirit king, forge a sword that kills even gods.”

I could have made a long sword, but I deliberately made a short sword that fits my hand. I fixed my dagger and watched Pellinore charge.

“Ha! If even a great wizard thought he could beat me with the dagger skill he learned from peeling watermelon…”

Woowook!

My dagger pierced Pellinore’s skin and pierced his heart.

“This dagger skill… is not the usual magician’s hand movement…”

The wounds suffered by Pellinore were serious. If I had just used lightning attribute magic or fire attribute magic, I would have collapsed right away. But I deliberately made a dagger that never breaks with steel attribute magic.

“Yes, this is not the skill of the Archmage.”

If you want to fight for your own pride, even risking your life… I decided to forsake my oath. If he wanted to beat the Archmage that far, he wanted to help him win. Because I can’t give up my life for my own romance or pride like this guy. I just wanted to do something about it.

“Congratulations Pellinore… No, Olag. You defeated the ‘Archmage’. And you were defeated by a coward.”

“Ha… that’s very nice. By the way, I have a request for you.”

“Please… listen and judge.”

“Now I’ve removed the shock absorber imprints on my men’s bodies. Now that I’m down, they have no chance of defeating you. Please let them go in peace rather than continue to suffer from burning.”

“yes.”

If that was a request, I could grant it.

“Iron dragon, pierce my enemies with your teeth.”

The spears I created went up and pierced the bodies of his men. He died instantly without even feeling any pain.

“Thank you very much.”

“By the way, I’m surprised you’re so lively when your heart is stabbed.”

“It’s just squeezing power. The fact that the captain dies before his subordinates… What could be more funny than that?”

Ha… what an idiot. It really sucks that I didn’t meet this guy sooner.

“Finally…”

At that time, the voices of children came from outside.

“Uncle! What happened! Did you fight?”

“I kept hearing strange noises from inside!”

“Did you fight the new guy? Say it, say it!”

Hearing the children’s voices, Olag groaned and forced himself to his feet. And with a weak step, he barely leaned against the iron door and shouted.

“Guys, this uncle is fine! Look, his booming voice as usual! What could be more proof that he’s fine?!!!”

The guy was screaming forcibly. Even though he was dying, he squeezed his voice with the intention of reassuring the children.

“This big uncle and the other uncles have to go away for a while because they have work! So can you listen to the new guy for a while?!!!”

The Angs hesitated for a moment, but when Olag asked, they said yes. Only then did Olag turn his head toward me with a smile on his face.

“Lastly… I’ll take care of those children. Unlike me, you won’t compromise… You’re the one who will save the enemy right in front of you…”

“Yes, I promise. Do you have anything else to say?”

“Ha… I’ll say thanks for that fact. The owner of the Magic Tower of the Earth… He’s a person from our Black Round Table… He’s actually… the leader of a huge gang of pirates… Please get along well with him. Talk to me… He’s a stray… foolish man like me…”

“I see… I’ll do as you say.”

“I wanted to die as a righteous man… But as you said, I compromised with evil… I die as a mean thief… I really regret it…”

So Olag’s breath was cut off. He persevered despite the damage that an ordinary person would have died dozens of times, no, over a hundred times, and even left behind a wonderful will. He was really stupid, but he was a great guy.

I went over to him and closed his eyes.

“Unfortunately, there are no tears to shed for a member of the Black Round Table.”

I took a piece of bread out of my pocket. It was a piece of bread that Amy, a little girl, had just been forced to hand over.

“But… I can leave you a tribute.”

Had it been said that it was the creed of the Green Forest to distribute bread without hesitation to the poor and hungry?
