Chapter 269 – #60_Drainage Tunnel (5)
#267
One.
Eloah abandoned the idea of ’next’.
The fear of death is cut away by the movement of a clean sword.
Instead, the only thing that fills my mind is winning the victory in this chaos.
After emptying out thoughts and anguish, the body becomes one sword, and the sword becomes one with the body.
Elroa, who danced with her sword while releasing her magic to her heart’s content, was the storm itself.
The white knights, who must be tricky enemies, are cut and split like mere soldiers.
While the white spear swayed like a bamboo forest in a storm…
-Love and love liquid!
She crawls through the bright red spears with a ghastly sound.
The red knight was cautious until the end.
She never tried to deal with Elroa alone.
As if making full use of her wheel tactics, the White Knights were sent in one after another to open up gaps, and then attacked her intermittently, aiming for the moment Elroa showed her loopholes.
-Quaguaguagwang!
Even amidst the turmoil that went beyond her voice and turned into a shock wave, Elroa was clearly aware of the presence of a red branch stabbing her back.
Even if it exists in a blind spot, it is thanks to the contract that can detect all attacks within a radius of 30M, the ‘Transcendence Ground’.
“Hot!”
Elroa dodged her spear, rolling quickly over the ground already smashed like a cookie.
Directly bumping into the red branch is a bad choice.
Prioritizing her avoidance led me to even make such an awkward move.
After dodging the barrier that stretched from the red bough, she turned her body toward her enemy knight and attempted to leap.
It is that red branch that brings these white knights back to life.
In the end, if you can’t kill the red knight, this fight won’t end.
But,
-Clap! Clap! Clap!
A red knight who quickly retreats and pulls himself away.
Hundreds of white knights stood in the way of Elroa, who was about to rush in, feeling like a white castle wall.
Without emotion or reason, they were not at all afraid to risk her life to protect their leader.
Even if Elroa’s strong body and fearless sword strikes reconciled with a gale, it was impossible to pierce all the white knights aiming their spears tightly like a phalanx formation.
It was a clever subtraction.
Perhaps if Elroa starts to show her weariness, she will actively intervene and try to cut her throat.
“Heh, heh… Heo-eok… “
Her breath was already full to the point of her chin.
Her breathing is so intense that the tip of her tongue tastes like metal.
There was no need to waste any more time.
Now is the time to really put an end to it.
She had to put all her magic power and all her strength into a single blow.
– Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Two feet planted on the ground like a tree with firm roots.
A sword descending obliquely.
In the distance, I could see the red knight’s eyes shining as if he was laughing as he watched his last outburst.
– Woo-woo-woo!
The pressure of magical power that oppresses all directions.
White veins sprouted on the back of Elroa’s hand, and sparks of light pink magic began to flicker.
-Jazak—-!
At the direction of the red knight who sensed a suspicious omen, the white knights rushed at Eloah all at once.
Ignoring her life, he used himself as a shield to build a great wall between Elroa and the enemy knights.
It was the intention to block Elroa’s attack with her body.
Gather all your strength at one point, at the pole, and cut it.
If body, mind and sword become one,
That slash will reach the sky.
The moment he silently raised his sword, his thoughts disappeared.
Death and life and their boundaries are only carried on the tip of the sword thinner than his hair.
Heaven and Earth vibrate.
The swordsmanship, which was swung in a clean line as if to cut through space, showed a level of power that was different from before.
The white knights who attacked Elroa disappeared all at once, as if they were caught in a nuclear storm.
A flash of light as if it were about to explode due to the outpouring of concentrated magical power.
The moment Elroa’s sword was drawn over her head.
————-!!!
The sky was visible
Tunnel 45M underground.
Walls, bedrock, and thick foundations were cut down all the way to the ground, and as a result, gaps measuring hundreds of meters were created.
Swordsmanship, as if risking one’s life, flashed right in front of the enemy knight’s nose.
————-!!
With a roar as if an explosion had occurred, the enemy knight’s red branch collided with it.
A distortion field in the form of a semicircle that spreads out at the same time, and a barrier extending from stem to stem like leaf veins.
The body of the red knight who had dealt with Elloa without difficulty so far shuddered in an instant.
Even if the physical shock was dispersed through distortion, even if the energy dispersed through the barrier was dispersed once again,
Faced with great power head-on, he had no choice but to retreat greatly.
The shield made of the distortion field was not simply a physical screen.
An impregnable shield that distorts the ‘power’ itself applied from the outside into something meaningless by deftly changing and manipulating the direction of the physical impact, no matter how powerful it is.
Normally, Elroa’s sword strike would not have surpassed that shield.
– Kwajik!
But.
As soon as Elroa’s slash collided with the distortion field that spread forward like a shield, it began to break.
The power and physical force concentrated beyond common sense made the impossible possible.
-Fad deuk!
Even then, the slash that pierced the middle of the empty body of the red knight,
Definitely reached
The bright red breastplate, which had no scars, dented and dented as if it had been hit by a hammer.
However.
That’s it.
The ability of the red branch to regenerate the white knight must have been limited.
The white knights that Elroa cut down all at once did not regenerate, as if there was extreme attrition for defense.
Judging by the appearance of the red knight who took the blow, he was also staggering.
The goddess of victory would have smiled at Eloa if she had been able to land one more such slash.
-Krrrrrr
However, the red knight did not die and still had power.
She doesn’t fall down and glares at Elroa with her hostile gaze.
“Whoa….”
Not even a handful of magic power remained in Eloa’s body.
As the price of the contract was fulfilled, her muscles and bones were under enormous strain, making it difficult to stand upright.
-Clap!
The enemy knight moves.
The movement is obviously not normal.
The movements of the limbs are unnatural, as if they had just been electrocuted by high voltage.
-Kra ra ra ra ra
Nevertheless, the bandit walks over to Eloa with her ecstatic smile on her face.
It was a very human laugh for a monster subject, so Elroa felt uneasy.
The red knight stepped on the remains of the white knight who was no longer reviving and stood in front of Elroa.
-Fuck!
“Cuck!”
The red branch that swung around hit Elroa’s abdomen.
It is a 3M spear spear wielded by a 2.5M giant.
Eloa, hit by her unbladed rear end, flew through her air and flew a dozen meters before crashing terribly behind her.
It wasn’t a blow to kill her.
As proof, Elroa was still alive, holding her stomach and raising her wriggling body.
Even if she can’t fight, she has no intention of dying ugly.
-Clap clap clap clap
The bandit moved her steps back to Elroa.
-Puck!
The gauntlet that was roughly swung on the cheek of Elroa, who barely stood up, exploded.
With the sound of whipping her dry hide, Eloah tumbled several meters again.
The inside of her mouth exploded, causing blood to flow and the impact of her skull splitting.
On the second day, I was able to fully understand the bandit’s intentions.
The red knight intends to punish the enemy who has been harassing him for a long time.
She was a very human-like idea, but considering the human side she has shown so far, there is nothing surprising about it.
Eloah got back up and tried to raise her sword, only to find that she couldn’t lift it.
There is not even as much energy left as chick tears.
The only way forward for her is to become a target for taking out her anger and become a tattered corpse after being trampled on.
-Krrrrr
Eloah covered her face with her hair disheveled.
The red knight erases the shadow on top of it again.
The moment her enemy knight’s arm rose once more, Elroa saw.
Particles shimmering in black like a cloak that came in between the red knight and Elroa.
A sword the same color as the black armor that wrapped around her whole body.
It was the back of someone very familiar.
“Do it in moderation, bitch.”
The main character with a voice full of anger is Siwoo.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slash with all his might was swung at the enemy knight.
– Kwajik!
The sword of shadow, swung just as Eloa had taught me, burst into the enemy knight’s helmet.
With a crackling sound, the enemy knight’s body staggered and flew away.
Of course, if the red knight’s condition had been intact, there would have been no such thing as allowing Siwoo to attack.
No matter how strong Siwoo is, the gap between the two can’t be filled with luck or skill.
Even so, the fact that the red knight flew away proves that its condition was not intact.
Just as Eloah did everything in her power, that enemy knight was also suffering a considerable level of attrition.
Siu looked back and asked.
“Master, are you okay?”
Eloah was listening to Siu in a daze, and her spirit flashed.
Before, I felt like I was in a dream because I was ready for death.
When he saw Siwoo, his reason returned.
“Now, what are you doing? Didn’t he just run away?”
“I’m sorry for not listening to you. I should be able to escape alone.”
Distortion of space seems to have acted dirty and wide.
Siwoo was able to find Eloa only after running over 10 km.
It was a scene in which the victorious red knight was persecuting Eloa as if playing with him, so how could he not turn a blind eye and intervene?
Was it that his heart weakened in the face of death?
Elroa forgot about her situation and barely suppressed her tears.
“This is not the time. We have to run!”
Eloah grabs his wrist, but there is no shaking in his eyes.
It was not difficult to see that she had finished some kind of resolution.
“Master, isn’t that guy not normal right now?”
A red knight who slowly gets up after being beaten by Siwoo.
A long sword scar remains on one side of the helmet where the sword of shadow had pierced.
Originally, the attack that should have been intercepted by the distortion field or easily avoided was hit and left an effective hit.
In a way, a great opportunity.
If Eloa had had a little more of her strength, she could have won.
“Master, can you retrieve the contract you gave me? It seems like the best case scenario is to finish it here.”
Eloah understood the meaning of the words.
She defeated the white knight and drained the power of the enemy knight.
A 1v2 chance that was barely created.
If Siwoo and Eloah escape, it is unclear whether they will be able to seize such a good opportunity again.
The cowardly witch will come up with a countermeasure.
Let’s work together, it seemed to mean that.
However, Eloa shook her head.
“It is impossible. I have no strength left.”
Even if you recall the contract, it is not possible to change it right away, and the guardian’s contract is not for combat in the first place.
Above all, Eloa’s body was already in disrepair to pay her price.
“Then I will have to do it myself. Is it possible?”
Eloah was troubled.
Although it was a sudden surprise attack, the fact that it allowed a blow in itself was proof that it was sufficiently weak.
And she’s thinking that this might be her last chance to never come back.
Eloa believed in Siu’s strength and talent.
Perhaps he could land the final blow on the red knight.
But is it right to push him to the limb by leaning on the possibility of a ‘maybe’?
If Siwoo really goes wrong…
Elroa, who was about to express her concern, looked into Siu’s eyes.
These were not the eyes of a hero who forgot her fears and embraced absolute confidence.
Endlessly doubting, fearing, terrified…
However, it is the eyes of those who have the courage to take a step forward.
Maybe she thought of him too much as something she had to protect?
If he had thought of Siwoo as a ‘colleague’ rather than a ‘disciple’, what kind of judgment would Eloa have made at this moment?
Slowly chewing her thoughts, Elroa closed her eyes and opened them.
“It might be worth a try.”
As soon asheheard Eloa’s words, Siu raised his sword without hesitation.
“Then, let’s do it.”
