3 – Raeli Karis (2)

Goblins are the lowest level monsters.

If you look at it, it’s a level where an adult man can win enough 1v1 when he is heavily armed.

That’s why the atmosphere didn’t change just because the goblins first appeared.

I feel like I’ve seen something interesting.

And I remember seeing this and running away.

While I was seriously thinking about what I was in the past, I felt something strange.

“why… .”

It was so bizarre and familiar.

When you made a contract with the Prime Devil.

And when facing the demon king.

A very strong, very dirty feeling.

“He has demonic energy.”

It was when I mumbled that.

It was not an aura that a goblin, an unknown monster at best, would have.

At my words, the young lady turned her head for a moment and then slowly drew out her sword.

Anyway, a monster is a monster.

that must be cut and killed.

I don’t know what happened after this.

At that time, I ran away without looking back, and I don’t know what happened because I was distracted after that.

…Really, I think I need serious reflection on my past self.

As a result, Youngae returned with an injury that resulted in the loss of one eye.

There were many possibilities, such as whether there were more attacks by monsters after they escaped, or that goblin with demonic energy was too strong, but the situation was still a crisis.

Besides, I am almost alone.

Even if he had immortality, he had a contract with the great devil and a black magic that he risked his life not to die, so he rose to the position of an executive in the Demon King’s army, but if he didn’t have it now, he was practically a skill close to an ordinary person.

Just don’t die

– Kihehehe!

“Quit!”

Raeli managed to slash the nails that had gone forward in an instant with her sword.

It’s not the speed of a normal goblin.

It could be said to be comparable to a low-level demon.

Even low-level demons can be caught if they are knights.

However, Raeli is still a sprouting seed.

Far from being on the level of a knight, he was only at the level of an ordinary cadet.

-Kieek!

“Oops!”

Raeli fought bravely against the goblin’s ferocious attack, but her skills were lacking.

Besides, I was paying attention to myself behind me, so I was even selling one eye.

In a situation where it was impossible to be sure whether he would be able to win even if he fully engaged in the fight, revealing such a weakness could only be said to be fatal.

“this… .”

Besides, it wasn’t just about one eye being blown out, it seemed that his life was in danger.

The goblin’s claws extended in a lethal direction.

Raeli didn’t seem able to afford to stop or avoid it.

Originally, I had intended to be on the sidelines.

I didn’t intend to pay special attention to the loss of one eye or damage to the corresponding body part.

But letting him die too soon wasn’t what I wanted.

Even now, in the yard where we don’t know what variables will arise, the death of a person who was not originally dead would have unimaginable results.

So I stretched out my hand.

Pooh-!

The goblin’s claws pierce the fragile body.

Intense fresh blood splattered my vision, and I silently swallowed the pain.

Madness swallowed reason, but it also crushed pain.

I had no choice but to hesitate at the intense pain that had come to me, who had lived in insensitivity all my life.

Raeli exclaimed in astonishment.

“Argal… !”

“Calm down!”

Recovering his senses, Riley swung his sword while the goblin was briefly captured by me.

No matter how demonic a monster is, if its head is cut off, it will die.

The goblin, who did not expect my intrusion, was struck by the sword and died.

-Dang-Geurang.

Raeli, who fell into a panic at the unexpected situation, threw down her sword and sat down.

Her fierce gaze was on my bloody hand, which had pierced a large hole in it.

There were complicated emotions intertwined, but I tried to reach out my hand, as if I wanted to pay attention to the wound first, but I brushed it off.

Chak-

“Do not touch.”

“ah… .”

If you went to touch the wound without proper knowledge, it could cause a problem of swelling or festering.

That’s why I was about to return to the estate of Viscount Karis for treatment after stopping her.

In the meantime, I turned my head to her one word.

“sorry… . do.”

I’m sorry.

I wonder

Is there any need to be sorry here?

Isn’t it me who really should be sorry for killing your family in the past?

Worthless than the death of an undead is the wound of an undead.

It’s really nothing.

It wasn’t.

“no. young lady.”

The sky is dark.

Clouds obscured the sun, and forests covered the dim light.

“Today was just an unfortunate day.”

Originally, she lost one eye and lived her entire life within the family.

Such a twist of fate.

she must have been lucky

unintentionally.

“Regardless of anyone’s intentions.”

Raeli’s eyes widened at those words, and she lowered her head.

And muttered in a voice that could not be heard.

“sorry… . really… .”

I already said it once.

no need to be sorry

I didn’t feel the need to say it again.

I turn around and walk to where I was originally going.

**

Raeli couldn’t come to her senses at all.

It was successful in leading Argal to the forest where monsters appeared.

However, the monster that appeared was strong.

It was a goblin at best, but the goblin was so agile and strong.

Moreover, Argal’s reaction was calmer than expected.

Rather, to the extent that I analyzed the goblins.

“why… . Do you have demonic energy?”

magic

That one word hit Raeli like lightning.

A monster possessing demonic energy will have strength equal to that of demons.

An opponent that Raeli, who was only a knight cadet, could not overcome.

As the goblin’s attacking speed increased while the sword’s movement and reaction gradually became tired and slow, she began to become more and more impatient.

‘Am I dying here like this? No, then what about Prince Argal?’

It was the moment when he turned his head and was about to shout to Argal to run away.

Due to the collapse of the movement, the goblin aimed for a gap and stretched out its claws at the vital point, and Raeli was unable to react.

I close my eyes tightly just before my sharp nails touch.

Fu-wook!

A very cruel, painful sound.

Raeli, who thought she would die like this, opened her closed eyes when she realized that there was no pain or pain.

What blocked the way was a smooth hand with no trace of training.

The hand, which she thought was pitiful even more than her, was horribly torn in half by the goblin’s claws.

Crimson blood covered her and Argal, and Raeli cried out in disbelief.

“Argal… !”

“Calm down!”

He said firmly that he was not in pain.

A chance that won’t come again.

Even though she was still lacking, she had a talent that would soon peak as a knight, and she did not miss this opportunity.

Concentrate your whole mind.

A sword wielded with its tip together.

The trail of the sword was very clear and clean.

At the same time as the goblin’s head is slashed, Raeli feels the accomplishment of taking a step forward.

The goblin that had threatened her life just now had become a mere corpse.

And the most unbelievable fact was that such a weak and timid Confucius sacrificed his own hand for her sake.

Argal frowned as he looked at his half-damaged hand.

Blood was still flowing, and bones could be seen in the wounds.

How to deal with it, wouldn’t it be best to tie it with a cloth first? Argal cut her hand off as she was about to reach out.

“Do not touch.”

The bloody gaze made Raeli’s heart ache as if it would break.

I made a mistake, but there was no way to pay it back.

There is no way to heal the terrible wounds in front of you.

All of this is the result of my mistakes and faults.

“sorry… . do.”

She opened her two lips, which did not part well, and squeezed out any remaining energy and apologized.

Did he accept the apology? Argal eased her hard expression even a little and comforted her.

“no. young lady.”

She seemed to hide her hand behind her back, perhaps knowing that her tattered hand was shaking her heart.

The two calmly changed eyes stabilized Raeli’s lost heart.

Only then did Raeli regain her composure.

Sanity, who had become whole, was able to look back on the situation so far, and only then did he know.

‘I committed the greatest sin and received the greatest grace.’

Besides, Argal seemed to know the situation to some extent.

Actually, there was nothing suspicious about it.

Because it was she who dragged me into the dark forest out of nowhere.

But he said so without any resentment.

“Today was just an unfortunate day.”

“Regardless of anyone’s intentions.”

Those last words pierced Raeli’s heart.

I couldn’t help but keep my head down.

He was smarter than ever.

‘Regardless of anyone’s intentions’

Who would have known that a goblin possessed by demons would come out?

It meant not to feel guilty about it.

It was so benevolent.

Now I look at him with a changed gaze.

He could risk his life for others, and he had the courage to do so.

A person who does not pretend to be strong on the outside, but has strength inside.

There was such a person in front of me.

That’s why Raeli had no regrets.

I was having a marriage discussion with such a person, but to break it off by taking care of myself.

One more word under the desire to be able to reverse this, or not to be given even one chance.

Apologize.

“sorry… . really… .”

**

Although things turned out this way, it didn’t take long to get back to Karis Gar.

It didn’t take long for the castle to turn upside down as soon as I went back.

Because a pretty big accident happened.

A priest residing within the castle immediately ran to take care of my wounds.

The old priest, covered in fine wrinkles, fell asleep as he looked at my scars.

“I don’t have the usual mental strength… . It must be a terrible wound with torn flesh.”

Unless he was a bishop or a cardinal-level priest, this level of wound could not be healed at once.

I was able to give first aid after going through several processes of reducing the pain, albeit in a nutshell, at least splicing the torn flesh, and wrapping it with a bandage.

It was a rather severe wound, but maybe it was because the monster’s demonic energy remained a little, so the wound stung once in a while.

Certainly my madness relieved all the pain.

In the past, far from having my hands pierced, my arms fell off, my whole body became rags to the knife, and even though my heart was pierced, I still stood.

However, he did not feel any regret that this mania was gone.

It was to the point where I couldn’t adapt to this mind that was so calm, but it was comfortable nonetheless.

Because there is no discomfort I felt when I killed someone I considered precious.

That’s why I was satisfied.

While I was resting on the bed for a while, Viscount Karis came to visit me.

He looked at my bandaged hand and bowed deeply.

Indeed, as the head of a family, it was hard to see.

“sorry.”

And this time it was different.

Place one hand on your chest, slightly lower your shoulder, and extend the other hand behind you.

It was the attitude of the knight to pay respect to others.

“And thank you. You saved my daughter.”

Again, it wasn’t a big deal.

As a result, I saved her, but I thought it was better than seeing the variables that would happen after dying.

The resulting wound was a light penetrating wound.

I don’t think it’s necessary to be thanked that much.

But there was no reason not to take what was given to them.

If a nobleman had expressed that level of gratitude, it would be obvious that he would show that much gratitude.

“no. Viscount.”

He saw countless nobles, and killed them.

I know how much profit they get from their smooth tongues.

I know, but is there any reason not to use it?

“It was the right thing to do.”

“Isn’t it something that needs to be treated over time?”

so-called.

It was a long sentence that expressed ‘don’t pay for treatment’.
