Chapter 220 – A Bloody Funeral
Following Siegfried’s order, the adventure party came out of the ceremony hall.
The silver ranks gathered and started a brief discussion.
“First of all, I will go to the castle and report the current situation as the adventure captain said. Then they will send soldiers over there.”
“Then, Grandpa Cohen will do so, and I will go to the west tower.”
Orca spoke, followed by Lauren.
“Then our party will take over the east side. Yuseong Han takes charge of the north, and Juana patrols the city.”
“For a moment. Yuseong Han is going to the northern castle tower? Isn’t it right to go to a party with a lot of Juana?”
Orca bet her words on Lauren’s words.
“There are a lot of them, so they patrol the city. I don’t want to cause damage to the private sector. Also, Juana’s bow skills can definitely hit the demons mixed with the people. Juana would be more suitable.”
“But…”
Orca looked at me with a worried expression. Why is she so worried about people of the same silver rank? I smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
“I am fine. Now is not the time to ask for that. Let’s go.”
“…Ok, fine. Instead of getting hurt If it seems dangerous, get out of here right away.”
After Orca agreed, we immediately parted ways.
Me, Seris, and Kara ran towards the northern castle tower as we discussed earlier. The south side was where the inner sanctuary was located, so there was no need to look separately.
As I ran through the crowds of people from the morning, I began to see the northern castle tower.
The tower, which was built to detect and defend against enemy attacks, was tall and thick.
A castle tower so strong that no danger will ever arise.
Strangely, however, there are no guards guarding the entrance.
Feeling uneasy, I spurred on the run.
Enter the castle tower entrance and climb the circular stairs.
-Keah!
As I was climbing the stairs, I heard a scream from above. The higher I climbed, the clearer I could hear the clashing of swords and the sound of cheering. When we arrived at the second floor of the castle tower, the scene was already in a state of turmoil.
The demons had already crossed over and the guards were fighting against them.
The battle was going on from within the castle tower to the top of the castle wall.
However, the opponent continues to increase as time goes by.
The guards were outnumbered and were gradually being pushed back.
There is no time for further delay.
“Kihihik? What are you again!”
An imp flying towards me with a spear point.
Seris intervened and split the imp’s body horizontally.
“Seris, Kara. You two are right. I’ll take the left side.”
“Brother, will you be okay by yourself?”
“Don’t worry about me, worry about you.”
“Chi, am I counting now?”
Kara grunted, flicking her arm holding her greatsword.
“Originally, the more precious people are, the more worried they become.”
“…You speak so shamelessly. Sister, did you forget that I got caught trying to monopolize her brother a while ago?”
“Oh, did I?”
“…I won’t tell you. Let’s go, sister.”
Kara spat on the floor once and ran towards the right wall. Seris did not immediately follow. She glanced at Kara as she ran and came over to me and kissed her on the cheek.
“Side… Be careful you.”
She smiled and turned around and ran along the road Kara had taken. I looked at her back and laughed.
‘There’s plenty of room.’
If only my eyes had become red since I went to Coromo, it would be like that. A little arrogant? Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
I ran towards the wall on the left.
Two Lizardmen blocking the entrance to the castle wall.
Pulling out his dagger, he cut the two men’s throats.
“Hehe!”
“Kahak…!”
A coughing sound is heard from behind along with a painful moan. I’ll die on my own, so there’s no need to confirm.
I checked the situation on the wall.
The corpses of guards and demons were lined up right in front of the entrance. If you look along the lines of blood, you can see the guards gathering and confronting the demons.
A number that might be nine.
On the other hand, the demons confronting the guards were over twenty.
The guards seemed to be facing each other valiantly, but their trembling legs could not be hidden. There is an obvious fear in the eyes.
Perhaps because it was obvious, the demons didn’t attack on purpose, but swung their weapons to frighten the guards. Every time the body of the guards flinched, they laughed loudly.
‘He doesn’t manage to run away in a situation like that.’
Is it simple work ethic? Or is there something else?
I do not know.
Once you have to do what you have to do
I lowered my body and immediately ran towards the demons. Every time you take a step, the blood on the floor splatters and the demons look back at the sound.
I could have gone if I wanted to go secretly, but I didn’t have to.
I can already guess the level of these guys.
Haha! Another one is coming to die!”
A beastly lion beast swung a large battle ax horizontally. I dodged it with a quick jump and thrust the dagger into the lion beast’s throat.
A look of bewilderment appears in the lion’s eyes. Wait a minute. As soon as I turned the dagger slightly, it took on a muddy light.
“Did Keldos get hit?”
“What is that guy?!”
Was this guy a bit strong here?
The demons were confused and wandered around. I took advantage of that gap and stepped on the shoulder of the falling lion beast and jumped up.
If you look down, you can see the demons and the guards at a glance.
In that state, I spun once and scattered daggers. Six daggers pierced the heads, arms, and legs of the demons.
Watching the composure disappear from the faces of the demons, he lightly landed in front of the guards.
The guards were looking at me with stupid faces.
“Hey… Are you…?”
“I am Yuseong Han, a silver-ranked adventurer. Sooner or later, the castle will send reinforcements.”
“Oh oh…! At las..!”
“I thought I was going to die like this, but I’m glad I did..!”
Hope spread among the guards.
This is a good phenomenon. Because that hope will lead to high morale.
I pulled out the last two remaining entry-level daggers.
“So let’s hold out for a little while.”
* * *
Grab the imp’s horn and insert the dagger into the top of the head.
Dig out the troll’s eyeballs with a dagger. Three guards stabbed their swords behind the troll, who was wandering blindly.
The large pig demon died while picking up the intestines that spilled out when the belly skin was split.
It was around the time that the demons on the wall were being sorted out to some extent.
Quaang!
A loud sound of destruction came from the castle tower. Until you feel an unusual energy.
“What? What’s going on over there…?”
The attention of the guards was naturally drawn to it. The dying imp laughed loudly.
“Kee hee hee! You guys are done now! The centurion commander has arrived!”
‘Current centurion?’
Isn’t that the position of leading a hundred soldiers?
You don’t have to be strong just because you’re a centurion since you’re close to the commander, but…
Bang!
Looking at this unusual sound, it doesn’t seem like that.
“I think I need to go for a while.”
“Uh? Oh yeah! It’s okay here, so let’s go!”
The remaining demons were few and far between, so the guards nodded easily.
I went straight over the castle tower and headed for the opposite wall.
“…Sickness. What else is that?”
On top of the castle wall was a giant that looked three times the size of the other demons. It has two horns on its head, and its upper body is larger than its lower body.
In his right hand he was holding a huge iron club, which he was striking at the guards.
Was that the unusual noise I had heard earlier?
‘Is that an ogre I’ve only heard of?’
How did Allen catch that stuff by himself?
Isn’t it gura?
Muttering to himself, he searched for a suitable weapon.
I don’t think my dagger will be able to pierce that thick flesh.
‘This is fine.’
I picked up the long spear used by the guards.
With this, I’ll be able to pierce the flesh and reach the intestines.
I inhaled.
Feel the air flow.
Surrender yourself
By the time you get used to the flow little by little, slowly lower your body.
Kill breath
Close your eyes, close your ears, and kill all signs.
Then the feeling comes.
I feel like I’m floating in another world alone.
‘Come.’
When I slowly open my eyes, I feel that no one cares about me.
You can’t run right away.
Just as the train slowly heats up, I have to speed up gradually.
So that there is no discomfort.
One step.
Two footprints.
Three, four.
Five six seven.
Even though I gradually speeded up my steps, I was not included in the eyes of the demons. Of course. Because they were busy cheering for the ogre’s majesty.
I sped up a bit more.
Light leaping.
And when the distance with the ogre was not long, he sprinted and jumped upwards.
“Uh? Is that?!”
Only then did the demons notice something strange, but it was already too late.
Poo-wook.
The long spear pierced the left chest area of the ogre’s back.
“Cheuk..! Cool. Cool!”
The ogre stopped slapping his stick and started coughing bloody. Since it is a different species from humans, I wondered what if the heart was in a different place, but looking at the reaction, it seems that it was stabbed properly.
But here a problem arose.
He stopped coughing and grabbed the club, which he had wielded with one hand until now, with both hands.
The ogre swung his iron club, sending one guard flying away.
‘What? Wasn’t it the heart?’
No, even if it wasn’t for the heart, looking at the reaction he just showed, the vital spot would be clear.
I watched the ogre carefully while avoiding the attacks of the demons that were rushing at me.
Then he could understand.
That baby, that’s before you die.
It’s like using both hands when writing with one hand until now, and there are many gaps in movement.
“Seris, Kara! Kill that ogre!”
If left alone, it will die someday, but the damage is not easy to wait for it.
At my shout, Seris and Kara started running toward the ogre at the same time.
“Cool… Whoa!!”
Perhaps the ogre intended to kill the two at once, he stuck the stick to the bottom of the castle wall and swung it like a scratch.
Hard. The sound of the stone floor grinding with an iron club.
Seris grabbed Kara with one hand and threw it high toward the ogre. And she immediately jumped high herself.
A group of people passed by the place where the two of them were, but they had already arrived in front of the ogre’s head.
Maehwa sword method 6th planting plum plum blossom fall.
Seris’ sword fell vertically and split the ogre’s skull.
Giant tree cutting
Kara landed on the ogre’s shoulder and swung vigorously. Half of the ogre’s massive neck was cut off.
The ogre’s body collapsed.
The two jumped down and landed on the wall. Seris softly, as if coming down the stairs. Kara is as rough as falling from a high place.
Eventually, the ogre collapsed and the walls of the castle shook greatly.
“Bae, Captain Centurion was attacked..?!”
When the remnants of the demons saw the fallen ogre, they backed away little by little, then completely turned their backs and started running away.
Of course, but I have no intention of letting go.
As I was chasing after them, the spear blade pierced the imp’s head as it tried to climb the castle tower.
“What!?”
The bewildered Lizardman’s head is cut off and blown away.
The demons sneaked back and knights in full plate armor appeared inside the castle tower.
The knight in the lead raised his sword.
“Kill every single one of them!”
With that as a signal, the knights rushed at the demons.
It’s coming very soon.
I chuckled and put the dagger into the scabbard.
It’s time to go back to the funeral home.
