The marauders groaned.

Blood was splattered, and some had broken arms or legs.

And none of them died.

I didn’t spray water.

I just incapacitated them a little too violently.

“Sir Redmill, this is… .”

I heard Beatrice’s blank voice.

Admit it.

I went too far this time.

It was too much.

And to be honest, I didn’t expect this to happen.

To wield a sword filled with aura.

I tried to release the aura that had accumulated in the sword, but I never thought the result would be so devastating.

‘I couldn’t control my strength.’

Still, the results aren’t bad.

At least, the enemy’s will to fight was definitely broken.

Just what I’m worried about.

“Ooh, looks like we’ll be standing still!”

“Our boss will definitely take revenge!”

yes, their boss.

Knowing her existence made me a little worried.

The Sword Master was an existence that could never be ignored.

To deal with her, at least Earl Millennium or Earl Warrug would have to come.

‘That’s not to say there isn’t a way.’

First of all, I saw off the fleeing guys.

Looters running away, vowing revenge.

And as I watched them, the party looked at me with worried eyes.

It is to worry about letting the looters live without killing them.

Because, as they say, they can come after them.

However, it was a worry that he could do because he did not know the sword master in the north.

‘It’s safe to return like that.’

What you do now will have a big impact for good or bad in the not-too-distant future.

And things have already passed.

There was no point in trying to turn it back.

“Let’s move.”

Rather than that, it is better to move to achieve the purpose of coming here in the first place.

Pooh, Pooh-

My feet were buried in the sand.

The more you head towards the mountains, the stronger the sand wind, and the sand dunes often appeared.

There was also a limit to the use of magic.

He couldn’t even use the magic stone often.

Even a single magic stone is too expensive for a commoner to afford, so if you keep taking out such a magic stone.

Beatrice will question my existence.

It’s a little harder than being suspicious, but it’s better to move with a comfortable mind.

“But I can’t see the monster.”

I just walked all day.

And during that time, I couldn’t find a single monster.

No matter how much you move to the safest place.

It was the northern part where variables overflowed.

I can’t see a single one all day.

Could it be that the number of monsters was reduced?

It can’t be.

It was in the north where thousands of birds were born every day.

As the number increases, it increases, not decreases.

“Definitely strange.”

Among the monsters, there are those who find their prey in the sand with vibrations or ultrasound.

And they could detect them from a fairly far distance, so they were generally monsters that people who came to the north would encounter three or four of them a day as they headed for the mountains.

However, even those monsters could not be met now.

As if the monster didn’t exist in the first place, the desert was just too quiet.

‘This is kind of boring.’

It was good at first.

It was quite boring to just walk.

It was amazing how the main character could move such a thing by himself.

Still, looking at the results, it was good.

Because you don’t have to consume unnecessary stamina.

“How are you feeling?”

And most of all, there were Reina and Elise, who were almost powerless in the party.

It was very difficult for the body of an ordinary woman to endure the environment of the desert.

Still, they persevered without complaining silently.

“… Honestly, my legs hurt.”

But even that came with a limit.

After walking silently for two days, Reina’s feet and legs were swollen.

I had never done such a forced march before, so my body couldn’t stand it.

And it was the same with Alice.

Although her situation was better than Reina’s, her legs weren’t very good either.

Even so, the reason I didn’t frown once was because of her patience and the fact that she worked out with me.

“it’s okay. I think you should take care of Reina rather than me.”

He lowered the hem of his trousers, which had been raised for a while, saying that his legs were nothing.

I was speechless for a moment and couldn’t say anything.

Why is she even doing this?

‘She must have suffered the most from Raymond.’

Her behavior in not returning when I told her to go back was definitely abnormal.

However, it was not revealed in detail about her in the original work, and it did not seem like she would say it with her own mouth.

“Let’s rest for now.”

Anyway, with just one more day, we could get close to the border.

They weren’t being chased by monsters, and they weren’t in a hurry right away, so there was no need to move quickly.

“Drink some potion. Beth, can you use some magic?”

I handed the Intermediate Potion to Elise Reina and asked her.

If it weren’t for her, I would have used the highest quality potion, but if I hid my identity and took out the highest quality potion, which even nobles would find difficult to use, I would have no choice but to be suspicious.

“under… .”

It’s definitely uncomfortable to hide your identity.

There were many limitations in many ways.

However, what I could get from that was good and precious enough to endure all these things.

“It will hurt at first, but bear with it. It will get better with time.”

Potions heal wounds, but do not relieve fatigue.

Therefore, the fatigue accumulated in the legs should be rested and waited for it to be released naturally, or it must be forcibly relieved using magic.

And the process is very painful.

“Ugh… .”

Reyna Elise groaned as she felt the chill settle on her legs.

The feeling of being frozen to the bone was very painful.

While the party was resting, I walked around for a while.

To prepare for any possible threat.

… !

And I could hear a sound similar to the one I heard yesterday.

The sound of a six-legged animal crawling.

Voices of many people.

And the most pompous woman’s voice in front of him.

“Damn it.”

I didn’t expect it to come this soon.

Even though raw meat is said to be predators in the desert.

I never thought I’d be able to find it this quickly.

‘Is it a wizard?’

That would be impossible without a wizard.

Seeing that there were wizards among the marauders who had visited last time, it was clear that there were quite a few wizards with good skills among them.

“To escape… Hard.”

The party’s stamina was too low.

And even if I run away, I don’t think I’ll get very far.

It was better to respond to them with the information I knew than to run away and be caught and killed by dogs.

“Everybody get your weapons.”

“What’s wrong?”

“brother.”

At my words, Mahol reflexively sensed that something had happened.

And Reina looked at him with a worried face.

I brought Maholman to my side and told Beatrice.

“Use Silence and Illusion right now. And you mustn’t unlock it until I send a separate signal.”

Beatrice nodded and cast an incantation.

In an instant, their bodies became transparent, and even the sound disappeared where they were.

Hee hee hee!

And a step later, the looters showed up.

Their appearance was quite different from before.

First of all, the color and size of the Natas they rode were different.

It was twice as big as the marauders I had met before, and it was red in color.

And on their backs hung a banner of swords pierced through the heads of skeletons, which meant predators.

uhhhhh-

They made a strange noise.

And one of them, a woman, got off from Natah.

Then five of the other marauders dismounted and followed her, as did she.

‘The ruler of the north, taurine.’

A sword master with red eyes and red eyes.

The party that the plunderers had settled in the north and raised to a position that could not be surpassed.

She was examining me with her red eyes.

The area where her gaze touched seemed to sting.

And that would not be an illusion.

The sword master’s gaze is dangerous enough to kill an ordinary person when it contains an aura.

“Are you guys?”

The woman opened her mouth.

you guys I should have thought he was referring to me and Mahol.

Her gaze moved away from me and behind my back.

I was seeing exactly the position of the party holding their breath while unfolding an illusion.

‘I knew I couldn’t fool the sword master’s eyes. But Beatrice opened it.’

I didn’t know it would be so easy to get caught.

However, he did not send a signal to Beatrice to release the magic.

He just took a step to the side and hid the group from her.

Her eyes lighted up at the action.

“Looking at the reaction, you guys are right. Touching us means you know what that means, right?”

She showed her hostility by revealing this.

I mean you guys.

He was asking if it was true that I had attacked the marauders.

I didn’t deny it.

Because I knew there was no point in denying it.

“I don’t know what you’re asking, but if you’re asking about attacking marauders. Yes, I am.”

answered calmly.

But the answer seems to have stimulated her.

Power like heat radiated from her body.

Thinking that Mahol would react to him, I grabbed his shoulder.

Mahol’s shoulders, which had been shaking for a moment, became quiet.

“You knew that? What a funny guy.”

His momentum even affected Beatrice’s magic behind her.

The illusion she unfolded shimmered, appearing and disappearing repeatedly.

The sword master’s momentum was never light.

It was so heavy that I couldn’t even stand up, and I was afraid.

“Who can stay still when their lives are in danger?”

I calmed down quietly.

My momentum wasn’t as strong as the sword master’s, but it was enough to protect Mahol and the others.

My momentum pushed taurine’s momentum away.

“Hoo-wook… !”

I’m short of breath.

Although he used Aura, it was still difficult to withstand the sword master’s momentum.

But it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t stand it, so I looked at her with my back straight.

“Hoo.”

It must be my own misunderstanding that there was an interest in her eyes as if she had discovered a toy.

She stuck out her crimson tongue and ran over her own lips, then ran over my body with her greedy eyes.

It was as if my body had turned into a doll and was naked in front of her.

“… .”

I accepted that unpleasant stare as calmly as possible.

how much time had passed

By the time your back is wet with sweat.

The momentum that had been pressing us was gone in an instant.

“Puhahahahaha! The guy I like after a long time has entered!”

The sound of her laughter tickled my ears.
