Chapter 223 – A Bloody Funeral
“Cheuk…!”
A cut opened on Allen’s neck, and crimson blood gushed out. He cupped the wound in his neck with his left hand and swung his sword behind him with his right hand.
Yuseong jumped backwards to avoid the swordsman.
“Kuh… Kuck… You bastard… When…”
“The smell of your disgusting blood made me vibrate. So I chased after him to catch and kill him, but he’s already on the verge of death? No fun.”
“This… Goddamn… Bastard…”
Allen rolled his eyes and looked around. A way out of somewhere…
“You can’t survive. The knights are chasing after me. If you’re lucky enough to get out of here, the knights will soon catch you.”
Yuseong turned his shoulders and relaxed his body. In his right hand is a mithril dagger, and in his left hand is a half-charred dagger of Orichalcum.
The condition of Orichalcum’s silver dagger was because Orichalcum was consumed excessively when killing the cult leader.
At Yoosung’s assertion, Allen gritted his teeth.
How did I get here…!
It can’t end like this in vain. Allen turned her around and tried to get her out of the alley.
“Where?”
However, the speed of the meteor was much faster than that of the wounded Allen. In an instant, Meteor reached Allen’s side and kicked him in the shin.
Allen fell forward. Blood gushed from a wound in his neck, and Allen held on to his wound, trying to stop the bleeding somehow.
“What are you doing? Not getting up.”
Yuseong stood in front of him and quietly waited for him to wake up.
‘Who is this bastard teasing..!’
Allen raised his sword vertically and cut it. Meteor took a step back and easily avoided it. Taking advantage of that gap, Allen stood up from the floor.
‘I can’t help it if this happens. I have no choice but to kill them all and get out.’
Can I do it in a moment? The thought passed through his head, but only for a moment.
Who is he
Allen, who was called the genius swordsman of the Red Heart Adventure Corps. Yooseong already has the experience of winning. In addition, now he has received his grace.
Even if your body condition is like this, you will be able to win enough.
Allen aimed his sword at the meteor.
“Okay. It should come out like that.”
Yoosung grinned.
Okay, let’s see how long you can laugh.
Allen set his sword horizontally and kicked the ground.
High-speed stab.
A technique that Yuseong had struggled with before.
However, the current meteor easily avoided it.
Allen immediately followed the sword. It’s not fast, but sophisticated swordsmanship pours down on Yooseong.
Unlike in Dalian, each sword attack had a strong intent to kill.
The meteor used the black side of the dagger to wipe it all away.
‘This bastard?!’
It drains more easily than in Dalian.
What happened?
Are you not good at attacking because your body is not in good shape?
‘No, that’s not it… You bastard. I’m more seasoned than before.’
After Dalian that day.
Yooseong chewed over his sparring with Allen all day long.
How could he have avoided it better.
How could he have shed better.
How could he have won.
Think about it, imagine the movement, and move it yourself.
Each time he grew up little by little.
Allen’s feeble swordsman, now wounded, posed no danger to him.
“What are you doing Allen? Not doing it right? That’s not all of you.”
“This… Bastard…”
Allen changed his mind. Yooseong was not an easy opponent than I thought. Now that this has happened, he abandons the idea of hurting with a sword.
He comes with the idea of making a short gap somehow, not a wound.
When there is a gap, it is to hit the condensed demonic energy.
Although it is his own demonic energy, not the demonic energy given by him, he should be enough to inflict a fatal wound on that guy.
Because that guy isn’t Siegfried.
From the moment he made up his mind, Allen’s swordsmanship changed.
The sophisticated swordsmanship gradually became crude.
It is intentionally creating gaps to induce big actions.
‘Ask. Ask…’
The meteor that shed Allen’s sword.
Using the gap Allen had created, I thrust the dagger through his neck.
‘I asked!’
“Stupid… Bastard..!”
Allen immediately turned his head to avoid the dagger. Black demonic spirits condensed from his gaping mouth.
“Porridge… Big… Eh!”
The condensed demonic energy, like a sphere, headed for the meteor.
It’s such a close distance.
Too much to avoid…
Ting-
Allen’s eyes widened.
The condensed demonic energy he shot was ricocheted off by the meteor’s dagger and scattered in the air.
‘How did this happen…?’
How could he deflect his demonic energy with just a light swing of his dagger?!
Mithril Dagger.
Allen, unaware of its existence, was shocked. I never imagined that a mediocre adventurer could have a dagger made of mithril.
“Is that all?”
“…What?”
“Did you do something like this just to gain that much power?”
Meteor kicked Allen hard in the stomach. Allen was pushed back and rolled across the floor. His blood gushed from the wounds in his chest and wounds in his neck. He stood up unconcerned and glared at the meteor with furious eyes.
“Only? Did you say only!? The guy who couldn’t beat me before is cool… He’s alive! Even if you and I were fine with my body… It’s too big..!”
“But in the end it looks like that. Even though I hit the daguri, I was robbed by our adventure captain, and I went through everything and survived servilely by myself, and now I’m getting beaten up. That’s your reality right now Allen.”
“…Damn it…”
Allen’s eyes darkened.
It seems to be gradually reaching the limit.
Well, it’s strange that he’s moved so far even though he’s shed that much blood.
“I heard the story with Juana. You said you did it because you felt the wall and wanted to jump over it? I don’t understand. You had everything Popularity, status, wealth, and even youth. Wasn’t it okay if I tried slowly and got over it?”
“Kuh… Kuh… This is why I hate bastards like you. Can’t you just try and get over it? If that was possible, I would have done it long ago. Because you can’t do it, because you can’t do it but you crave it, you choose it! Even if I say this, bastards like you will never understand. For guys like you, the walls we feel are just light obstacles.”
His words were to Yoosung, but not to Yoosung.
Self-help close to lamentation.
Yoosung sighed.
Soon, the eyes looking at Allen are full of anger.
“Actually, I wasn’t curious about how you were feeling. I wasn’t interested in what you did to get over that wall or something. The important thing is that you made my precious person cry.”
Yuseong walked towards Allen.
“Go away!”
Allen swung her sword to drive away the meteor. However, the sword wielded by a guy who couldn’t control himself was no threat to him.
He took a flick and cut the tendons in the hand that held the sword.
Dang. The sword fell to the floor.
Yoosung put his fist into Allen’s stomach. Allen’s body bends like a shrimp. Grab his hair, lift his head, and place the dagger around his neck.
Originally, I had planned to capture him alive.
We’ll have to catch it and kill it so we can find out who’s behind this guy.
However, this guy’s physical condition is not enough for that. Maybe he will die on the way. He tried to use a potion, but Allen became more like a demon than a human.
There is a high possibility that the potion will not work, just as Siegfried suffered from Magi.
And more than anything, Yoosung wanted to just kill Allen. I still feel sick to my stomach when I think of the chicken poop-like tears that fell from Orca’s eyes.
It was the moment Yooseong was about to stab his dagger into his throat.
“For a moment!”
Juana, who had been quiet all along, called him up.
“Let me finish.”
She said in her determined, determined voice.
“…”
Yooseong stabbed the dagger deeply. Allen’s body shuddered and he stopped moving.
[You have acquired 300 Karma.]
“…Pup.”
* * *
I dealt with Allen and went straight back to the funeral home. Sober atmosphere. In the center of the ceremony hall, Orca was holding Siegfried’s hand and crying.
The face of Siegfried, who held her and her hand, was lifeless.
She lost her father
He was left alone in the world.
What words of consolation should I offer? Nothing came to mind So I just wanted to stay by your side. When you’re having a hard time, just having someone by your side is comforting enough.
However, it seems that it was not an orca.
-Sorry… I want to be alone for a while.
At first I refused. If I’m alone, I’ll just be depressed. You may have extreme thoughts.
-Please… Just leave me alone for a moment…
However, she couldn’t win over her earnest pleas as she spoke with tears in her eyes.
I came out of the funeral home with the other adventurers and knights. The cracks were also gone, so there was no major problem.
The knights said they would be waiting at the entrance of the building.
Sister Seris and I returned home without much fuss. After a moderate wash and sitting in a chair, fatigue sets in. Both physically and mentally.
Too many things happened today.
“Master, here is the car.”
I took a sip of the tea Maria gave me. As the warm tea went down my esophagus, my body and mind felt a little calmer.
“Thank you, Maria.”
“It’s nothing. Then.”
Maria lowers her head and immediately starts cleaning the house.
I looked at her and opened her mouth to her sudden thought.
“Maria. You were a saint of a cult, weren’t you?”
Maria stopped her cleaning and turned her body towards me.
“Yes. I’m ashamed of her, but before she became my master’s, she was that mischievous religious saint.”
“Then do you know how to do heels?”
“Heel… You mean?”
“The miracle of healing that the nuns use.”
“Ah, is that what you mean? I’m terribly sorry for betraying your expectations, but I can’t use them.”
“Okay? Well, I kind of figured it out.”
Even if she is called a saint, she is a saint of a cult who does human sacrifices.
If you can heal, that’s weird.
“But why are you asking that?”
“I just asked.”
Maybe she could have saved Siegfried.
Could there be something I could do to keep Orca from being sad?
Well, that’s what I thought.
If there was, that would have made me feel guilty.
“Enough now. You can do what you have to do.”
“Yes, then.”
Maria started cleaning again.
Cerris and Kara are washing up while Ariel is stuck in her room.
I sat idly by and watched Maria clean up, then turned on her status window thinking that this wasn’t the case.
‘The karma has accumulated quite a bit.’
The original 600 karma plus the 700 karma obtained this time made it 1300 karma.
‘I didn’t know Allen would give her 300 karma.’
Ordinary demons give karma between 10 and 20, but why does that guy give so much?
Could it be that it has something to do with the man behind him?
‘…I don’t know.’
I gave up on the idea. It was an accident for which the answer could not be known anyway. I decided to just think about the use of this karma.
‘Should I buy poison?’
You must have knowledge about poison. Drinking poison to build up your tolerance for poison is not a bad thing.
But it didn’t pull.
It was a waste to spend the huge amount of 1300 karma on poison.
‘Or martial arts?’
What if it’s unarmed?
Things like Mancheon Hwawoo lack karma, and even if you learn it in the first place, you can’t use it now.
Sammae evolution was a special case, but usually martial arts are learned by gradually raising the level like a staircase.
Even if you buy it, it’s just a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.
I was troubled for a while.
Then, in a flash of thought, I opened the store window and searched.
Summoners – 1250 Karma.
