Chapter 419 – Where Lightning Grazed.
“Are you trying to tame Hildisbini? I know you’re in a hurry, but you still…!”
“Do not disturb.”
Rachel caught his step for a moment, but Usher cut her off. I know she cares about herself, but it was a hindrance. Because he had no intention of backing off from him. Everyone did. He said it was too early for himself. He said he could still take it easy. It’s still okay
But has anything changed so far? He already understood that it wasn’t something that could be done just by working hard, but even so, he hated himself for not being able to do something more than that, and he was angry again. Does he have to wait for it again?
It couldn’t be. Isn’t it so terrible to have to just watch the pain and suffering that will come before your eyes?
“Hey, hold on!”
Rachel was intent on catching the boy ahead of her. No matter how much he learned paladin magic, he thought dealing with Hildisbini was a different matter. Thinking she was in danger, she tried to grab her, but she felt someone grab her by the back of the back.
“Who…?!”
Rachel wondered if someone had grabbed her by the back without fear, but she couldn’t say anything. That’s because it was none other than her Hill Dis beanie that caught her trying to stop Usher.

“Coffin, why are you?”
She was panicking when Rachel called out the name she had given her to her interrupter, which she had never expected.
“She must have judged him worthy of her.”
“Cardinal?”
It was Kayaba, who would have commanded her knights from the center, who addressed her. He was approaching with raindrops hitting his helmet.
“How do you conduct…”
“Leave it to the adjutant. And call it comfortably. Now there won’t be any problem if you call it like in the past.”
Rachel looked at him blankly and nodded her head. Kayaba, because of her strength, was sitting in the cardinal’s seat and was half-stuck atop her, just as she had to leave for a long time to lead the faithful to the Holy Land.
“But you deserve it, how does Coffin know that?”
“Since it’s the same Hildis Beanie, wouldn’t there be something we can relate to?”
“Until the saintess.”
Rachel belatedly found Diana following Kayaba and covering her with an umbrella.
“I think I know why Coffin grabbed Rachel.”
“But still that child.”
“Does it really look like a child’s stroke? Why don’t you take a closer look?”
She listened to Diana’s words and looked at Usher’s back again, but she thought she was too old to challenge Hill This Beanie.
“Uh…?”
In an instant, Rachel realized that Usher wasn’t just going blindly toward a group of Hildydisbinies. Her back straight, her chest open, her rapier in her scabbard and her shield in her left hand, she advanced calmly and confidently.
The group of Hill Dis Beanies, who were drinking rainwater and resting as if they were staring at each other to search or play as if they were distracted because they were blocking their way, all of a sudden raised their heads and looked at Usher, who was approaching them all at once.
It looked menacing at first glance, but at least Rachel knew it wasn’t a negative sign.
“He, what is it? She’s approaching Hill Dis Beanie?”
“Are you going to tame it?”
“Shouldn’t that be stopped?”
“But the Paladins are also quiet.”
Whether they know it or not, the knights and soldiers who discovered Usher look at each other and hum.
“Huh? Kayaba, Rachel, and even the saintess?”
“Speak quietly. What if others hear?”
“What, how is it? We’re together.”
“Ha ha, really.”
Soon even Arun and Boaz approached them, and all those who had once been taught under Yakaf gathered together.
“Will he really succeed?”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
Rachel could also see that their thoughts were similar.
“If you ever fail…”
“At that time, it would be our role to stop Hildisbini.”
Again, she was concerned about Usher’s failure, but Kayaba’s firm voice forced her to keep her mouth shut and watch.
‘Hildisbiny are definitely ferocious guys. But it’s not like I’m not sensible enough to go wild.’
Usher kept thinking about Krikaliev’s words.
‘The Hildisbini you need to be most careful about is Chin.’
‘I heard she’s the most gentle guy.’
‘It’s not like that. If she seems to be friendly with the owner, she’ll give you a ride anyway.’
Still, he didn’t change the word to be careful.
‘However, there are very few knights who have tamed Chin. Why do you think?’
What came to mind at that time was Hildisbini of Donar and Aiolos. Their Hildisbini also had white feathers and had memories of burning Medea or herself.
‘…I heard it’s tricky.’
Even now, if you look around, there are only two or three knights, including Rachel, who have tamed the white-feathered Hildisbini. The rest are mostly gray or black.
‘Yes. Branta is usually the most ferocious, but it’s a different story when tamed.’
After Branta sees her fight, she has no regrets whether the opponent dies or not, and Answer stops moderately unless she really likes it, but she kills opponents she can’t tame unconditionally. Even though Chin is relatively docile, that’s only when she doesn’t touch herself.

And now Usher was standing in front of those white-feathered Hildisbinies. Because it is not cold, the feathers cover only part of the body, so the blue scales form stripes based on the orange scales that reflect light like hard jewels. The raindrops flowed through the sharpened muscles that even those scales couldn’t hide.
‘Hildis Beanie, she’s remarkably recognizable when she’s intimidated by her.’
They never accept as their masters those who are weaker than themselves.
‘So act confidently as if you were a group from the beginning. Like a member, not a predator that sneaks up on you.’
For a while, Usher hoped to face the impressive pupils with vertical slender pupils looking down on him without hesitation, even as he felt that countless Hildis Beanies were watching him.
-Kurreuk
The Hill Dis beanie, which rang lightly at her neck, moved out of the way in front of Usher.
“Are you successful?”
“Not yet. I think I’ve passed the hurdle…”
At some point, it wasn’t as successful as the people watching him said. Because now I just got the minimum qualifications. What was important was the following.
‘Hildisbinies will see if you like them as you pass them by.’
As Usher passed among the guys, he looked to see if anyone was blocking his way, but he was halfway through and there was no blockage. If no one got in their way, they would end safely, but that wasn’t a very good sign.
That means he didn’t like any of the Hildisbinies in the bunch. Even though he feels nervous, he continues to make his way between the guys. It was the moment when I almost reached the end and thought it was a failure, but I was walking to the end.
– Kwaaak!
A Hildisbini blocked Usher’s path at the end, as if stamping the floor with his front foot. Usher looked at the bridge and looked up.
-Kurrureuk!
There, a Hildisbini was breathing hard and looking down at him with blue eyes glistening with unknown emotion.
‘What if the road ahead is blocked? Simple.’
With the sound of his heart pounding in his ears, Usher could laugh for the first time, even though he wondered if he was really crazy.
‘Then it’s one of two things. Die or tame.’
He straightens the loosely held shield, draws a rapier from its scabbard, and aims it at Hill This Beanie. There was no need for anyone to signal.
– Kkaaang!
I somehow endured the scream that almost leaked out from the shock that rang the shield, by biting my teeth.
‘It’s dangerous if it’s not magic to block it with a shield.’
It was pointless to wait until the shield was exhausted because it was still small and pushed out of the weight class. In the first place, Hildisbini is a creature that can run fine even after running for several kilometers. There was no way he could catch up with the guy who survived to adapt to the endless wilderness with his physical strength.
‘I have to see the game as quickly as possible.’
– Kaang!
“Big!”
In particular, the hooves flying towards him in succession are so heavy that if you don’t deflect the shield even a little, you’ll miss it. However, this shield should not be missed.
‘It’s still so hard. It’s the end if you get hit with your bare body.’
Even if you don’t know what material the shield is made of, it’s as unusual as a magic tool. I can barely block it with this shield. There was no way it could be prevented by a protective plate that was nothing more than a thin iron plate sandwiched between the leather he was wearing.
It was fortunate that the hooves couldn’t hit the wet shield properly because it was raining.
– Kaang!
“Ugh…!”
In particular, every time his hooves hit the shield, his feet are buried deeper in the sand, so he is in a hurry to get his feet out, let alone avoid it.
‘I have to find an opportunity.’
If it continues like this, you will die if you continue to block it.
“If it stays like this…”
Rachel watched the scene with a sense of nervousness. After all, Usher was the last disciple Master left behind.
“I think it’s still too early to make any conclusions.”
“Why do you think so? It looks like you’re barely holding on even now.”
That’s why Arun asked at the voice of Kayaba, who could be heard muttering while watching with more anxiety. That question was also harbored by Rachel, so when she looked at it, he glanced around.
“Aren’t you curious about why, out of all the Hildis Beanies with me, the boss stepped forward?”
“A boss?”
When Rachel looked back at Usher in surprise, she realized that the Hill Dis Beanie she was dealing with was one head taller than the others. If it was just a question of size, it wasn’t.
“I’m sure you all saw it. Even before he got in the way, there were several Hildisbinies trying to step forward.”
Come to think of it, even when the Hildisbinies tried to step in front of Usher, they would back away again.
“It’s just that he didn’t come out because he noticed that he would be in charge.”
Rachel realized what she hadn’t seen until she heard Kayaba’s words. Even knights can’t withstand the unique kick using the hoof, so they try to tame it by avoiding it as much as possible.
“How many times does he block it? I think he’s already over 10…”
Like Boas’s dazed voice, Usher continued to block the kick after blocking it several times.
