Chapter 425 – Escape

The day has dawned.

Karen and I started moving along the road again.

And not long after we moved, we heard the rough sound of horses’ hooves from behind.

-Quit! Shut up!

Moreover, those who ride horses are usually those who have some money or status.

There is no way they would be considerate of innocent passers-by like us.

Even after taking Karen with me, I moved to the side and glanced in the direction where I could hear the sound of horses’ hooves.

Knights on horseback were approaching quickly.

“…”

For some reason, I had a bad feeling.

When I looked at the direction they were coming from, it was obvious that they were Crea’s knights… And when I thought about the reason why I left, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

As expected, the knights did not pass us by but stopped in front of us.

Five knights on horseback were looking down at us with sinister gaze.

“Those rat-like kites have come a long way! I finally caught them!”

“…”

Among the articles, the one with a messed up face who appears to be the leader is absolutely disgusting.

“Who…”

He gets angry when I seem to not know him.

“You don’t know Crea’s angry brown bear Colin!”

How could I know?

If you look closely, it’s a face that seems like you’ve seen it somewhere.

And I remembered.

This is the guy who excitedly hit me at So Young-ju’s party.

Unlike back then, my face was more damaged and I just couldn’t remember it.

“Okay, what’s going on?”

“Youngju So told me to catch you.”

“I don’t think I did anything wrong.”

“You leave Lord So without permission and don’t know what’s wrong?”

“I have never heard that I need permission from the Little Lord to leave Crea.”

Of course I wasn’t convinced, so I answered with a sullen face.

“This guy still hasn’t regretted his mistakes!”

“So what was my fault?”

“It was Lord So’s order to bring you that bastard! Don’t you think it was a sin to disobey that!”

I could only think of it as a useless place to live.

Well… The words of the nobles are the corporate world, so there is no point in looking into the reasons.

It seemed like these guys were planning to drag me away somehow.

Youngju So must have been upset that I was friendly with Hestia.

So he invited me to his party.

Things didn’t go as planned, but anyway, I broke up with Hestia, who he liked.

In the end, it worked out as he intended.

So I felt a little relieved.

If you lose a duel, you think about saving face. But I thought you would stay quiet for a while… Did you know you would react like this right away?

So Yeong-ju’s small-in-class attributes were beyond my expectations.

I don’t think it would be good to go back… I walked for a long time, but I didn’t even want to go.

“… What if you don’t want to go?”

“Kuk… I didn’t want to be harsh, but… I couldn’t help it.”

The knights got off their horses and drew their swords as if they were waiting for my words.

-Sereung…

Especially when I look at Colin’s happy expression, I think he was hoping for me to rebel.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like he was holding a grudge against him for getting beaten up at the party.

“I can’t tell if he’s a knight or a thief.”

“Are you scared? If you accept the arrests calmly even now, I’ll let you avoid the asshole.”

It doesn’t seem like a situation that can be resolved amicably with words.

‘Will we be able to deal with them all in the current situation?’

Right now, I am not in a good condition to fight a duel with Lord So.

Karen is also a problem.

Even though she was trained by me these days, she couldn’t use her magical powers to deal with her knight.

You wouldn’t know it if they were thieves, but these guys aren’t such shabby things.

Even though they are knights who cannot use sword techniques, they are superhumans and human weapons with powerful physical abilities that allow them to sense and utilize magical power.

The current Karen cannot handle even a single knight.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was impossible to fight while protecting Karen in my current state.

There is only one way.

Fortunately, I don’t see anyone else other than them around.

I quietly unsealed the blood magic.

I even felt a refreshing feeling as the seal on the core in my heart was released and the tightly bound blood magic flowed through my veins.

“Tsk… You’re going to regret your choice. Lord So told me to bring only you. He didn’t tell me about your woman.”

A gloomy aura lingers in the eyes of Karen’s knights.

“Be careful. Even if he looks like that, he’s still quite capable.”

The knights who received Colin’s attention adjusted their swords and slowly approached, surrounding them.

I winked at Karen and made her move away.

Although Karen was sneaking around, her knights didn’t even pay attention to her.
It seemed like the idea was that if you subdue me, Karen will automatically fall into her hands.
That was also true.

Colin and the two knights attacked first, and at the same time, red energy flowed from my right arm and created a blood-red sword.

Shock appears on the faces of the knights who saw it.

“What is this…”

I strengthened my damaged arm with magic and swung the blood sword at the panicked knight next to Colin.

He quickly raised his sword and blocked the blood sword.

However, the blood sword lightly cut his head in half.

It was impossible to block the blood sword with a sword without a sword.

-Boo!

Blood gushes from the cut side of the head that has been cut in half horizontally.

The blood gushing up is sucked into the blood sword, turning the color even darker. And the life force that flowed out as he died was quickly absorbed into the avatar, quickly recovering the damaged arm muscles.

“Yes, you… What on earth is this!!”

The blood sword was struck indifferently towards Colin, who was shouting with a look of shock and fear.

Colleen dodged the sword that fell on her head, but her arm was cut off starting from the shoulder.

-Squeak!

“Ahh!!”

Colin screamed, and at the same time, the blood sword passed through the guy’s throat. The guy’s head floats in the air.

The blood sword absorbs the scattered blood into its sword body and uses the life force within it to reduce magical power consumption.

Although it was an unpleasant sight, there was no denying that it was quite effective.

Another knight belatedly stabbed his sword with a look of fear on his face.

I lightly turned my body to avoid his sword and struck down the blood sword.

The knight looked despairing as he saw the blood sword falling on his head.

-Boo!

The guy’s body was neatly split in half.

The two quick-witted knights had already turned their backs and were running away.

I was caught using blood magic, so if I miss it, I’m in big trouble.

The blood flowing from the bodies of the three dead knights floats into the air. And he created 10 pointed spears.

Blood Spear.

Ten blood-red spears rose in the air and were fired at the fleeing knight.

-Puff, puff, puff!

The blood spear flew quickly and pierced the armor and stuck in the knights.

-Wow…Oh, wow!!

The knights, each of whom had five Blood Spears stuck together, turned into hedgehogs and died.

Five knight corpses appeared on the road.

“…”

I briefly thought about what to do with these corpses, but decided to just leave them alone.

There is no inventory, so I can’t clean up these traces. I thought that if I couldn’t handle it cleanly, it was better not to touch it.

If someone comes while cleaning up the site, it’s even more of a headache.

Although I wanted the knights’ warhorses, I decided to give them up.

I only found their money pockets and took them.

Perhaps because it was an article, that alone was salty.

You can’t move along the road like this.

Even if you happen to meet an official from the Church of Terra, it will be difficult. No, it’s a problem even if you just meet an ordinary passerby.

What I killed were the knights of Crea, not an unidentified thief.

An investigation will definitely be conducted.

Moreover, blood magic was used to deal with them, and traces were left behind.

It’s certain to cause chaos.

Since this is what happened while they were tracking me, I am definitely a suspect.

This is Crea territory.

If Hestia had not yet left Crea, the situation would have been quite dangerous.

I decided to conceal the fact that we were on the road.

The core containing the blood magic was tightly sealed again.

As the magic power circulated around my body and disappeared, I felt a little frustrated.

I left the road with Karen and headed toward the forest.

-All right. All right.

Hestia quickly rode her horse in her haste.

And after discovering the corpses of the knights scattered on the road leading to Ramona, he quickly stopped his horse.

Hestia got off the horse and approached the corpse.

The body doesn’t look that old.

At most it is half a day.

And when she saw the corpse, her face changed seriously.

The emblem engraved on her breastplate indicated that they were knights of Crea.
Cut to death.

These are the corpses of Crea knights who died after being pierced by something.

They probably looked like knights chasing Bark.

She simply said she saw the corpses of the knights, and she didn’t think it was anything serious.

This is because Hestia, a paladin, was able to immediately understand what kind of entity this was.

“Demons…”

The energy of the demon was strongly felt in the corpse.

Hestia’s eyes sank coldly.
