Chapter 165 – Nakhwa (3)
I cleared the road once, but I had no intention of going inside unprepared.
“Bianca, please stand at the front.”
In terms of physical ability, Bianca has the highest among us.
In other words, when an unexpected situation occurs, you can react before anyone else.
“The saintess is in the middle.”
Protecting the healer is the basic of the basics.
In addition, standing in the middle has the advantage of being able to respond immediately even if there is an injured person from either side, front or back.
“I will go last.”
Bianca and Lilith’s abilities were biased, so it was good that I, who can flexibly respond to various situations with magic and unique abilities, stood in the back.
After the position check, we relaxed in our own ways and moved our feet into the wall.
“Then, let’s get going.”
***
「Wind—the blade」
A low-level monster resembling a bat flew in and was cut down by the blade of the wind.
Contrary to what I was worried about, no special traps or dangerous monsters appeared.
At most, all the low-level monsters like the baby bat that came out now.
However, in a dark space, the tension of not knowing when and where something would pop out ate away at his physical strength and spirit his.
… But that also ended with Bianca’s words her.
“It’s a dead end.”
When I followed and checked, I saw a dead end just like Bianca said.
“…”
An alley with a big door.
The door was made of an unknown metal, and the handle was also non-existent.
“Sir, I can feel demons through the door.”
I nodded.
Even if the saintess didn’t say anything, she could feel it.
“I have to open it first.”
Having said that, Bianca puts her hands on either side of her door and tries to force it.
“…Ugh!!”
A tightly closed door does not intend to open.
“Ha…Ha…This is heavy…”
“Let’s do it together. I’ll open the right side.”
I went forward and pushed the door with both hands using ‘body strengthening’.
Intercepting –
As Bianca and I applied force together, the door opened slowly with an unpleasant metallic sound.
“…What is that.”
Through the crack in the open door, Bianca frowned and stared at her as if she had discovered something in her.
…At the same time, he also looked at Bianca.
“Look at Bianca!!”
I shouted the moment I checked his red eyes, but it was already too late.
“…Uh…Uh…Ah…Shi…I don’t like it…!!”
Bianca, who met his glare her squarely, sat down, holding her head in place.
‘…That guy, of course!’
Based on past experience, I expected that there would be a fake boss, but the eyes of the dice picked the worst number.
The number of times I’ve played ‘Aka Assistant’ is countless, but I’ve only met him as a fake boss twice.
And both of those…
‘I was beaten…’
At the same time as I clenched my fist, the guy sitting there raised his spear.
A knight wearing red armor all over his body his, radiating red eyes.
A symbol of corruption that is born after greeding for the power of monsters with a human body and repeatedly devouring demonic energy.
‘… Death Knight’
Even in terms of combat ability, Death Knight is at the top of the ranks among advanced monsters.
Even more so, since that Death Knight is connected to the power of corruption, it can amplify negative emotions even if it is not a complete corruption like ‘resurrected corruption’.
Standing between Bianca and Death Knight, I bit my lip.
Even if I was defeated by that guy in the past, that’s just past data.
With the current specs, I can deal with anything
‘However…’
That’s the story of dealing only with the Death Knight, and if Bianca runs out of control here, it’s all over.
‘…Better to calm down Bianca than deal with the Death Knight.’
After judging the situation, I shouted at Lilith.
“Saintess, please defend yourself for a moment!”
“Yes! All right!”
With those words as a signal, the Death Knight grabbed the spear and charged.
Kwaaang-!
A translucent barrier blocked the Death Knight’s window.
“Aww!!”
Lilith’s last unique ability Her, Defense, unfolded.
Heal, purify, defend.
Lilith’s unique abilities are her.
Having just one of these abilities is enough to be treated as a high-class person, but Lilith had all three.
“Seo…Sir!!..I…Lilith…I can’t stand it…For long!!”
Lilith closed her eyes and I nodded her head.
“…Shi..Hate..Yu..Yujin-ah..Don’t…Don’t throw away me…”
“Bianca!”
Bianca grabs me, her body her trembling.
Still, seeing who I was, it didn’t seem like the worst stage.
“…Yu…Yujin-ah…Yujin-ah…Don’t go…Don’t throw it away…My…I was wrong.”
“Bianca! Don’t be swallowed up by nightmares.”
“…You…You…Abandon…Abandon me.”
I grabbed her Bianca’s chin and kissed her roughly, sticking my tongue in her mouth her and licking every nook and cranny of her mouth her.
“…Peck…Poke…Poke…”
As I kiss her until she is out of breath, Bianca’s eyes her slowly come to life.
“…Ha…Eugene…Ah…”
“Bianca only remembers this. I will never abandon Bianca no matter what.”
“…Yes…”
It’s only then that Bianca blushes to see if her sanity is coming back.
Normally, I would have gone to bed like this, but now the situation is very urgent.
“Bianca, are you okay now?”
“…Yes.”
“Then I’m glad. I want to do more, but I’m busy right now. I am resting here.”
As I stand up, Bianca grabs my wrist.
“…Bianca?”
“I will.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
“It’s not too much. I really can.”
Bianca’s eyes that said that contained only the truth.
“…Hah… Got it. Instead, if it is judged to be unreasonable, I immediately leave.”
“Yes. Okay.”
Bianca gets up and walks forward, loosening her neck.
Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!
In the meantime, the defense shield that received the Death Knight’s crazy attack slowly begins to crack.
“…That bastard gave me fantasies like that dog.”
Bianca gritted her teeth and glared at the Death Knight.
“Sir.. Sir! I can’t… Hold on… No more…!”
“… You don’t have to hold out. Release the shield.”
“…I…Really relax!!”
Paaang—!
At the same time, the barrier was released, and Bianca kicked the floor.
“You are behind!”
Bianca jumped up with her purple hair fluttering, and mana wrapped around her body her.
The Death Knight thrust her spear straight at Bianca, but Bianca, who redirected her mid-air by releasing her mana her, burrowed into the Death Knight’s arms her.
As her distance she drew closer, the Death Knight immediately threw away her spear and pulled out her sword, but Bianca, as if expecting even that, slammed her blade and bounced it off.
“Not through! You fucking bastard!!”
Kwaaang—!
Bianca’s fist flew precisely into the Death Knight’s heart her.
Her chest her was dented in the shape of Bianca’s fist, enough to kill an ordinary person instantly, but her opponent her was the undead.
Feeling no pain, the death knight continues his attack.
Blame—!
Bianca, who supported herself on one of her feet her, rotated her body her, dodging the sword by a piece of paper.
Kwaaang-!
Using that rotational force, Bianca kicked the Death Knight in the head.
The Death Knight’s helmet was blown off, and the red-eyed corpse was there.
“Asshole, you look so fucking ugly.”
Was it because of Bianca’s words her, or was it because the helmet flew off?
The enraged Death Knight screamed and ran, but Bianca, who had been waiting for his fist to be loaded, put his fist into the position where there was no error in the first attack.
The moment the red armor is shattered, the Death Knight staggers backwards towards her.
“Where are you running away, you bastard!”
Once again, Bianca’s fists her slammed.
Quaang—!
The shattered armor could no longer block Bianca’s fists her.
“…”
The Death Knight looked at her open chest and slowly knelt down on her.
“Heh, he’s messing around.”
The Death Knight crumbled into dust, and only the black demon remained in front of Bianca.
Bianca raised the corner of his mouth with a confident expression like the first time I saw him, and said smirkingly.
“How was it?”
“…Was great.”
I said it with sincerity.
The Bianca I knew would never have overpowered the Death Knight.
At least Bianca, who fought with me, did.
However, Bianca, who was standing in front of her right now, played with the Death Knight like a child.
It showed how much Bianca had polished herself over the past year.
“Huh, of course not! Who am I?”
“You did a great job, Bianca. I am resting.”
“Yes. Okay.”
I stroked Bianca’s hair and looked at Margie.
“Saintess, please purify the magic.”
“All right. Teacher!”
Lilith sprints in front of Magi and infuses her with the power of purification.
‘In the meantime I…’
While Lilith was cleaning up, I moved my feet further in to search for the ‘host’, which was my original goal.
‘…Can’t you see?’
But no matter how much I search, I can’t find the host.
“…Where the hell are you?”
“Teacher! Purification is over!”
“Thanks for your work. Then look for a ‘host’…”
Creepy─
At that moment, the hairs all over my body stand on end and my heart races with fear.
In the ‘it’ that came down from the ceiling, I felt a ferocious and rich magic that was incomparable to Death Knight.
“…You…”
The despair I felt the moment I confirmed the guy’s identity.
And the hesitation that resulted from it.
He didn’t miss that chance.
Kwaaang-!
When I came to my senses, he was already swinging his sword in front of me.
‘I can’t avoid it…’
The moment I swung the sword at him, I felt death in my gut.
Even if I tried everything I could, I couldn’t get out of the sword’s path.
“…Eugene…!”
Then, Bianca’s small hand pushed me away as hard as it could…
Bianca was standing where I should have been.
“…Bianca!”
Just before the sword slashed his body his, Bianca laughed.
She smiled contentedly, as if she had done her own thing.
The guy swung his sword.
…The blood welling up hit my cheek.
