Chapter 47 – 47 – Troublesome Catch
Adamantone’s waist was bent like a bow.
No, it was bent 90 degrees like a boomerang. A blow that makes you wonder if your spine may have fallen off.
“And this one – oh, it recovers quickly. I guess it’s a bit strong?”
And even after being hit with such a fist, Adamantone swung his sword in a frightening manner with a foamy look on his face.
Eshen had to retreat after receiving a follow-up blow. Although his expression was still relaxed.
This is Eshen’s fist that smashed that hard troll head. Is the guy who chews that thing up really human?
Of course he’s human. However, he is a human being beyond standard standards. The world calls them warriors.
Its physical abilities are compatible with all combat aptitudes. A transcendent figure on the battlefield who turns everyone who is not a hero into a supporting character.
Although his recent performance may not be very good, Adamantone is also a warrior. They are also highly trained in combat by their family.
However, just as there are places that sunlight cannot reach no matter how bright it is, some martial arts exist in areas that cannot be handled with talent.
For example, a kick like that. Eshen’s knees, which powerfully stretched into the sky, suddenly stopped in midair.
Questionable mercy. The choice Adamantone made hastily when he had time to react.
Extending the long sword to cover the upper body. The abdomen was beaten so that the internal organs exploded, and the head, which was an important vital area.
But there was no choice in the first place. The question Eshen asked was not a multiple choice question.
Because it was a subjective question where you had to write down where you wanted to be hit.
Eshen’s foot falls onto the empty warrior’s shin. Kinetic energy that causes plate armor to crack open.
An expert blow thrown by Tigris with superhuman strength. Even with the warrior’s physical strength, fractures will be inevitable.
“Naaaaak-!”
“This is… So.”
Eshen glances at me. I wish I hadn’t even looked at it.
“Anyway, it’s up to an acquaintance. He said he’s very dissatisfied with you.”
···I don’t know if he noticed my identity being laundered. However, as I quietly listened to the guy spouting out a lot of swear words, it was clear that he wanted to drink Eshen with that ‘acquaintance’.
Is it possible to gain energy from vulgar words? Adamantone, who had spun half a circle and landed on his face, stood up, chattering ceaselessly from his bloody lips.
“Sit down.”
“This beastly slut, I laid her down until she cried and begged, then I drilled her hole-“
“What are you going to do with your broken leg?”
And Adamantone sat back down. His legs made him sit down. As it bends in a direction it shouldn’t bend.
“Wow! Wow! Mom Ah!”
Mom? Really? Did you say mom? Even with the blood vessels on your forehead?
“Oh, fuck my god.”
“Tan, don’t say bad things.”
“I’m sorry, sister. But after suffering for so many years, I feel really relieved.”
“That goes for me too.”
As I heard Adamantone’s scream becoming more and more clear, I inadvertently raised my head and looked at the sky.
It seems that we have moved some distance away from the scope of the storm. The wind and rain subside and the sound of thunder ringing in my ears fades.
As the battle between Eshen and Adamantone ended one-sidedly, the fighting on board reached a lull. The sailors on both sides were scattered to the left and right of the deck.
But it is clear which mood is brighter. Except for a very few, the attackers who had lost their vision were on the defensive, and our side was smiling with their eyes wide open.
···A clear feeling that the turning point has been overcome.
“I will summon ‘Meteo’ to this location.”
…It just shook. What did I hear? Meteor?
A woman with a familiar face blocks Adamantone, sweating profusely.
As soon as I recognize who it is, my anxiety fades away. It’s Mindy.
The show-off wizard of the Adamantone party who had recently parted ways with each other blushing.
“I told you, you bastards who smell like water! This great wizard is now pulling down a star towards your ship! You don’t want to get hit by a meteorite and die, do you? Put down your swords right now!”
Demand for unilateral surrender. An unreliable voice that shakes uneasily somewhere.
The crew members of the ridiculous handgun party are making loud noises, but at the same time, they are clearly shaken. A fearful murmur of ‘witch’ is heard.
Although not as rare as a warrior, a person with aptitude for magic is also a rare entity. If you are an outsider, just hearing the word ‘meteorite’ is enough to make you cringe. Superstitious sailors are especially afraid of supernatural powers.
But, no matter what.
“Mindina, you are a modifier.”
Even among those with the same [Wizard] Aptitude, there are dozens of major subjects to choose from depending on each individual’s talents and tastes.
A battle wizard who freezes and burns the battlefield. A magical engineering engineer who pursues great inventions.
And…A relatively less popular attribute grantor.
Modifiers can sharpen weapons, warm the air, and make bland chicken spicy.
But what about Meteor? What properties should be given to the sky for meteors to fall?
Maybe someone can come up with an answer to that idea, but definitely not him. How can you commit such shameless blackmail? At best, this guy knows how to light an Adamantine sword on fire.
I couldn’t even speak in a voice that others could hear. I was afraid that Mindina might recognize the cross-dressing porter and scream.
Of course, you can’t just shut up forever. If the tide of the war changes because of that lie, there will be bigger problems than my reputation or unemployment.
But before I could resolve the conflict in my heart and expose that lie.
“How long is it?”
Rubbing her eyes in frustration, the elf Nenya strode forward. Mindina was very embarrassed when she saw the long pointed ears.
“W-what?”
“What I said was informal. I was talking nonsense to a senior like me. Which magic tower is it?”
As Mindina, who was sweating profusely, pursed her lips, Nenya picked her long ears and rolled her eyes.
“No, don’t say it. No matter where you are, I’ll be higher than your dean. Meteor? Gravity magic at that age? Are you serious? Even if you’re a genius comparable to ‘A Thousand Nights of Dreams, Aneola.’ Let’s see if it works?”
“Well, that is…”
“I understand. I know it when I see it. I need to hold on tightly to my connections as a hero. To come from a poor background with no options other than becoming a self-made man, and to play a wizard who is crazy about research funds. But, he’s a bad debtor.”
“Non-performing loans?”
“This guy is in big trouble. Don’t you even know what a bond is? It’s a debt document from a debtor who won’t pay back. Even if you rot, I’ll give you a lifeline as a junior. Put down your cane and surrender. Then, you’ll be saved from all the punishment and suffering you’ll have to go through because of that hero who almost killed several people. , I’ll leave you out.”
“···Yes, Meteor was a lie. But I did cast wide-area silence on this staff. I can suffocate you all to death by holding you by the throat! Don’t look down on the ‘grantor’!”
“Are you sure you won’t regret saying that?”
“This is the middle of the sea, you little bitch! You only know how to use plant magic unique to your race, and you’re a clumsy pacifist-“
Nenya, with a shadow on her face, snapped her fingers. Then Min Dina’s staff, which she aimed at as a threat, snapped.
“Plant magic ‘out there’?”
As her jeweled head rolled to touch Nenya’s toes, Min Dina froze in shock.
“Isn’t that staff wooden?”
A skit that makes you lose your will to fight unless you are blind or deaf.
Some of the enemy sailors gave up and threw away their swords. However, many of them looked cornered and held their swords more tightly.
Morgan stepped forward and persuaded them.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just surrender? Don’t you want to live?”
“Bullshit. Do you think a guy like Tomko would show mercy to those who challenged him at sea!”
“My father is not that kind of person. Now he is a nationally recognized hero in his own right. How about this? I will drop off the half who surrender first on a nice deserted island where ships pass by. The rest will be thrown into our country’s prisons. First come, first served.”
“Fuck you, you son of a bitch! Even if you surrendered in the first place-“
“What in the first place?”
Morgan, clueless as he was, neatly ignored her insults. Instead, her eyes lit up as she took note of the next phrase.
However, the enemy soldiers did not explain further. I just blush with embarrassment, as if I made a mistake.
Taaaaang.
At that time, a gunshot suddenly rang out from behind the enemies like a thunderbolt.
The astonished attackers look back. And with his hands shaking, he started to step aside.
“In the first place, even if you surrender, you won’t be safe. That’s what they were trying to say. They must have heard that if they come back alive, they will kill you.”
Again. Again. The sound of shoe soles echoing coolly across the deck.
Blood-red shoes and a green long coat. Impressively large brimmed hat and hooked nose.
And what was held in that strong hand was the back of the blonde-haired healer’s back. And on the other side.
Adamantone’s hair, falling off his feet and fainting with foam at the mouth…?
“Your commander tried to sneak away. As soon as his leg healed with the help of the healer, he set you up as meat shields and launched this brazen attack on my ship.”
Captain Tomko looked around him. And he put down the nun and the adamanton as if throwing them together.
“You won’t accept the invitation to surrender? Then how about this? If you don’t put down your sword now, I will tear off your limbs and hang you on the mast myself. The sun will slowly burn you to death. If those who hired you promised a worse end than that, then keep holding that sword. It’s okay to hold it.”
The enemies threw away their swords without hesitation. It would be nice if that happened a long time ago.
Meanwhile, the healer nun, who had been struggling to get free while holding her back, ran towards Adamantone, crying.
However, there is no way to grow back a leg that was amputated by gunfire. All that can be done is to stop the bleeding that remains on the deck.
That woman also knows someone. Sister Moriba. He is the healer of Adamantone’s party and the person who took the lead in slandering me to Adamantone.
As the bleeding did not stop, Moriba desperately looked around him as if seeking help. And as if she recognized the nun’s uniform, she cast a longing look at Sister Monica.
It was the first time she had ever seen him do that,
Her sister shook her head.
———–
“You survived.”
“I survived.”
“That’s right.”
In front of us who looked on in bewilderment, Adamantone, hanging upside down, shouted powerfully.
“I was wrong. Please help me!”
After capturing the loot, the Handgun Party, by virtue of their rights, buried both of the raiders’ ships.
Now they fell into Tomko’s hands. However, as if he had made an agreement with the gods of the other world, he never opened his mouth no matter how horribly Tomko threatened to kill him.
Judging from the fact that they cry every time provocative words like ‘shark’ or ‘saw’ are mentioned, they all seem to be overflowing with regrets about life.
The captain and Morgan concluded that something was strange, and decided to interrogate the person who seemed to be the quietest. Adamantone.
“First of all, I am the son of the Sunstorm family. Please allow me to write a letter to my father. He will send you a good ransom!”
“Do you think I’m ‘that’ pirate?”
“Of course, Captain Tomko is not such a petty person! He is noble, honorable-“
“No, I don’t protect my honor or take ransom. What I’m thinking about right now is not honor or ransom, but just how many pieces I should tear you into and throw into the sea so you don’t float up again. This is the middle of the sea. I’ll take you to the port. “If you don’t drop it off, no evidence will remain.”
Adamantone’s face turned black.
“Now tell me why I should keep you alive.”
Adamantone’s face became bright white. And he confidently shouted:
“The Sun Church is behind me!”
Tomko looked back at our party with a truly perplexed expression.
Even Nidro, who is weak to the logic of human affairs, and Eshen, who is mocked as an idiot but is not really an idiot, are confused.
There were only three people who nodded calmly.
Me. And instead of hanging, Moriba and Mindina only had their wrists tied. Experienced adamantone.
Adamantone was smiling heartily as if everything had been resolved with the confession just now. He seemed to be asking with his eyes when he would be sent home.
Tomko sighed and tilted his head towards me.
“Are you really that kind of guy?”
“That’s just the way he is. It’s not that he lacks intelligence.”
“Are you sure?”
“… It’s true that it’s a bit lacking, but it’s more of a matter of just interpreting the situation the way you like rather than an issue of intellect.”
“You’re not stupid, but you’re ignorant?”
“Anyway, since he is a hero, he is the type of person who believes that fate will be on his side.”
“It’s crazy. I can’t believe there’s an idiot like that in the famous Sunstorm.”
“But where were you during the whole battle, old man?”
Eshen subtly pushed his head in and intervened.
A few days ago, he would have treated me like a child and paid attention, but Tomko just answered calmly. It seemed like they had decided to treat our party with nothing but boundless respect, at least for a while.
“A hero can feel the energy of a hero. Usually, there is no one other than the Hero to deal with the hero. He sensed that the bastard was trying to board our ship. So, he decided to aim for the king of the chessboard.”
“You were hiding your cards. To catch the enemy commander.”
A flash of bizarre power that blinds even healers. The only ones who were covering their eyes were Moriba and Mindina, who had anticipated Adamantone’s misdeeds.
In the worst situation that can be encountered in the middle of a storm, Tomko seems to have taken a gamble, even preparing for annihilation.
However, the situation did not go as Tomko expected. Thanks to our party’s performance, and.
“How could you have thought of attacking us with this little preparation? Of course there would have been many casualties, but I have no idea that you could defeat my father. If you blindsided us, how were you going to get back home? “
Adamantone’s incredible feats. Morgan nudged the guy and shook her head.
The body of the warrior hanging from the hook of the food warehouse swings like a swing.
“So, the Church of the Sun? The Mithras sent you? Why?”
“I volunteered. Because we matched what we wanted.”
“What did you want?”
Adamantone began to ramble on about something. Everyone was at a loss for words once more.
A series of vain remarks that repeat a story that only one knows. If we summarize all the salient points in it…
“You were bitten by a snake?”
“Have you lost your stamina?”
“Are you too upset about that fact?”
“That’s it! Now you understand what I’m saying-“
Tomko pulled out his three-barrel handgun and struck without hesitation. Adam Manton, who had lost one more leg, broke his voice and screamed.
Eshen and I succeeded in covering the eyes and ears of the sister who was screaming in surprise in time.
But I couldn’t cover my eyes with my hands. Holy shit. Twice I saw a terrible scene that seemed like something out of a dream.
However, in a corner of my heart, I feel a little naughty. Fortunately, since the victim was Adamantone, I think it won’t be just a nightmare even if it appears in a dream.
Tomko growled, barely suppressing the urge to shoot him in the head.
“No one. No one is interested in what’s going on between your legs. Just what purpose did you have for targeting our ship?”
“Succubus Queen-! Queen-! I told you to secure the queen’s sealing sphere! Those Mithraic fanatics wanted it so desperately!”
The confession was quick again this time. Adamantone, who was missing two legs, shouted with sincerity.
However, I ended up adding unnecessary words. Is it because he didn’t get the point even though his leg was cut off, or is it because he still has so much resentment?
“They said that with that, my penis, which had died from snake venom, could be brought back to life!”
Sigh this is problem with Korean authors, they have the concept of no one dying and no revenge. I can already imagine they let shitty hero go and the hero came back with revenge
