Chapter 76 – One Knife (With Bloody Artwork)
‘Even if it’s frustrating sometimes… I do my job boldly and well.’
Because the time given to us was too tight.
Eclair’s choice to exclude the existence of collaborators was the right decision.
The very next day.
There was a physical distance, but as a result of wandering around the influential destination, I was able to face the existence of Cutler Dewar.
With the assistance of Imperial intelligence agents who intervened at the right time that day, he even confirmed the survival of the Knights under his command.
Plus the great info that Cutler Dewar rarely leaves his mansion after dinner outside.
If you look at the knights under the traitor, the big thing is the face shape, hairstyle, and body shape.
From a small point of view, everything has changed, from preferences for favorites to tastes and behaviors, so informants have had a hard time identifying a person with dusty past information.
The quality of the information received at the end of the effort was very high. To the point where the sense of running out of time disappears.
According to information.
Surprisingly, for over ten years, they have been living in Limno without a single deserter or casualty.
The outward appearance and life he was living in were about 10 million years away from the ‘honorable knight of the empire’ in the past.
As if he had been living as a backstreet bully since he was born, his familiarity with blackmail stands out, and he wears old-fashioned tattoos that are not even funny or makes fun of women who pass by with their tops off drunk.
In the life of Limno, they abandoned even the knight’s sword and were reborn.
Now, they use knuckles or daggers more skillfully than swords, and their skills are not bad, and they have established themselves as an influential group of humans in Limno.
Even the fact that all of those who reached the end belonged to a group called ‘Cutlas’, headed by Cutler Dewar.
–
The informants joined hands to set the stage, so now it’s our turn to do it.
“As expected, the store you enter without disarming is run by Cutlass.”
Éclair finished marking the two maps with ink.
These guys don’t get tired of playing, so they gather at their shop at dawn and drink until morning.
That hour rarely included all the members of Cutlass, but more than half always seemed to be present.
“What is your honest impression of Cutler Duer?”
Although the distance was considerable, there are things that can be felt through the senses the moment you identify and see the opponent.
Éclair tapped the paper with her pen and opened and closed her eyes as if reminiscing about that time.
“The scabbard that does not shake even while walking and the center of the body that is kept in a straight line. You can feel the skill and maturity. Apart from the knights suffering and falling from Limno, he must have not neglected to train himself.”
“Hmm… It’s an inspiration that seems to have many things hidden from the poisonous impression.”
I know because I read the setting book.
But what about Eclair who doesn’t know that? I will win against him like a love affair, but it is difficult to avoid big and small injuries in the process.
In the first place, even if there is no variable, the inspiration is not at a level to be laughed at.
Chloe and Sai have also fully recovered, but there is no need to worry about his sister after being injured following the frustrating Drithna story.
“I am in charge of that inspiration.”
There was Eclair’s backlash against my remarks, but there is no other way.
Because I couldn’t even properly memorize the faces of the knights other than Cutler Duar.
It was agreed that Éclair, who had memorized all of them, would finish his arrangement and join me or leave Limno first.
One sweeps out the members of the traitor so as not to miss them.
One envisioned facing Cutler Duer.
“You know you shouldn’t rush at the same time as joining just because you finished first, right?”
“After making my judgment, if I am convinced that a pincer attack is possible, I will launch an offensive…”
Even if they join, it is still out of the question for the two to attack Cutler Duar at the same time.
It is natural that many-to-one battles are advantageous, but as the level of each individual increases, various conditions are attached to the passing technique.
We’re the ones who get out of that condition the most now.
First off, I’m the problem. I’ve never had a joint venture with anyone else.
If it’s a large monster, you can gather and slash them as you see them, but the opponent is a human with a limited hitbox.
I’m used to dealing with many people, but attacking one person with many people is another story.
There is no basis to say that it is unconditional, but the warriors who have their own color cannot mix with others without many trials and errors.
Two may be effective, but may not be.
Eclair and I have never been together, and our individual tendencies are so strong that they cannot be combined in a short period of time.
‘If the swords wielded unconsciously overlap, it’s a big accident.’
That mistake could lead the enemy to retreat or open up a gap for a counterattack.
In this case, it is better to have one person blocking the retreat.
So far, I have wielded weapons according to my instincts, and Eclair has reached the realm of systematic and framed swordsmanship based on the standard.
Have you ever learned a systematic martial art in your life? The CQC I learned in my previous life is the end.
Can the two of us do a neat pincer attack without practice?
Gambling is boring now.
…
…
The time limit is right in front of your nose when you plan a route and decide where and in what direction you will be in charge.
The day of decision quickly approached as he moved without hesitation.
We sat down on the second floor of the tavern where Cutlass gathered every morning to drink.
The second floor is narrow, but the center is open so that the first floor can be seen clearly.
-Yaya!! Empty the store!!
-Close the door! All out!!
I checked yesterday too.
The drinking party of Cutlass begins as usual today.
There was no set time, so I waited randomly, but it was faster than expected.
Looking down from the railing on the second floor, a group of people of no different races flocked to take their seats.
Customers on the first floor left their seats as if they were accustomed to it, and they started opening bottles without even checking the second floor.
A handful of guests left and only the two of us were left on the second floor.
“What do you think?”
Looking at her level, I honestly don’t see her being in any danger.
“No problem.”
She picked up a butter knife lying on the table.
It was a natural choice since I returned my weapon at the entrance.
“I used a crappy weapon and got hurt for no reason.”
I took one of her swords from her inventory and handed it to her.
“Where is this…?”
“All adventurers are like this. They hide at least one secret number.”
Éclair smiled at the answer he had heard many times.
…
Talk-
A person fell from the second floor of the tavern.
She fell like a feather on the only empty table and took off her hood.
The gazes of the self-styled cutlers on her first floor gathered on her.
The noise of chattering and drinking stopped in an instant.
Even though the windows are closed, chicken skin grows on the skin as if the cold wind of the cold winter has penetrated the store.
“Bruner, Hans, George, Dorunez, Bahoten, Neray, Islands, Kenwood …”
Even though his voice is beautiful, he has a coolness that gives the illusion of standing on a well-honed blade.
The name of the empire that has now been erased.
When the name of the past was called, everyone stood up awkwardly from their seats.
Crackle!
Hana broke the bottle and fashioned her weapon, and Hanna lit a cigarette and pulled out a hatchet from her waist.
Someone grabbed a dagger and another grabbed the chair they were sitting on.
In terms of experience, each of them are veterans with over 10 years of experience.
Living in Limno, I would be lying if I said I didn’t imagine that one day this day would come.
Rather, I still thought it was too late.
“Red eyes and silver hair…!”
There’s a rumor that I hear here, but I don’t know who the executioner sent from the empire is.
At the words of Hana, everyone stiffened with tension.
“ㅡ I will punish all the persons named below for treason.”
After reciting everyone’s name, she slowly slipped her hand inside her cape.
At the same time, the men who exchanged signals bent their knees and threw their bodies forward.
“Kill-!!!”
“I can stab you even once!”
“Ugh!!!”
“Split directions and run at the same time!”
The method itself was ignorant, but like former knights, the speed at which they used mana to attack was not comparable to that of a bully.
Eclair did not move even though many enemies reached right in front of his nose with their weapons on hold.
–
Someone say
Eclair is a grim reaper who is kind to enemies.
Most of us will think about it at least once in a gloomy or depressed moment.
‘Ah! I want to die as if I were sleeping without pain.’ Called.
She has excellent skills than anyone else to make that dream come true.
The characteristic of the majority of corpses that have stopped metabolic activity after facing Eclair Dritna on the battlefield is their ‘expression’.
A face with an expression that might have killed him.
Right before she was appointed as the 5th Knight of the Empire.
This is the story of the time when he was active in the battlefield of the north, where he clashed with barbarians in the cold.
According to the eyewitness accounts of soldiers who returned from the small war at that time, there were many grotesque corpses at that time.
Than the painful look on her face as she intuited her own death, or the corpse with her eyes closed accepting the end of her life.
It is said that there were corpses that contained the emotions of anger at the empire as they were, or that were frozen with eyes glazed over and frozen in tension….
ㅡ
Éclair checked the door of her tavern first as she watched the people running.
‘… There are no people who run away.’
Eclair Dritna’s strength and true value.
A quicksword that laughably ignores the basics of having to draw faster than the opponent in order to cut faster than the opponent.
Clap-!
When the iron to harm himself came close, he grabbed the handle of the sword that was caught inside the cape.
Eclair’s eccentricity was neither a skill nor an unnecessary waste of aura.
It’s not conceit or arrogance about speed, it’s her way of seeing the best path for a blow.
Shahah-
Grab the sword, spread your legs, and sit down.
While grasping the tension of the muscles coming from her thighs, she drew the sword with her waist and swung it.
A single trajectory drawn by a blade gripped by a long, thin finger.
In one fell swoop, everyone fell asleep.
