Chapter 27 – Wolf Time (3)
“You fucking dog!”
The guy in the lead swung a stick and attacked. The momentum was great, but it was too reckless and immature. I waited until he got close enough, then when I raised my weapon, I cut off his entire arm.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Aww…!”
The two of us screamed at the same time in the pool of blood. The sore muscle pain felt like the shoulder that had been moved would come off.
But there was no time to rest. As soon as I managed to straighten my posture, another guy came into sight.
“Catch!”
Gripping my teeth, I stabbed my sword at the man’s outstretched hand. The sharpened sword pierced the center of the palm and lodged in the forehead. A shudder shuddered at the cold sensation of tearing the brain.
And this time I felt excruciating pain in my ankle. Even though it was only slightly twisted, a moan flowed involuntarily. It seems that there was no place free from the effects of the fall.
“Shit…”
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Get lost!”
Between quick breathing, the two came running this time. As soon as I drew my sword, I cut the eyes of the one who rushed in first, and then cut the neck of the one who ran up. A red line appeared on the white flesh, and in an instant, blood poured out like a fountain.
“Ugh…”
“Whoa…”
Blood poured over his eyelids and covered his vision. I rubbed my face with my sleeve and straightened up. When I opened my eyes again, this time three guys came into sight.
“I … That fuck!”
“Bring something! Don’t you have a club or something?”
“Throw a stone!”
“At least stop me from leaving!”
“Ha…”
No. Is it four people? I blinked frantically to wipe the blood from my eyes. Every time the eyelids moved like that, the number of them gradually increased. Four people. Five people. Six people. No, ten people. The calculation formula for this absurd win was, damn it, multiplication.
Fortunately, they didn’t run right away. Did the value of the name built up over the years finally take effect?
But it was by no means good news. As if the academy felt nauseous belatedly, it was spitting out the parasites in its stomach. The appearance of pouring out of the front door scattering madness and stench was exactly the same as vomit.
“Is that the bastard? Lope the bastard?”
“Fuck you bastard…! He’s hurt too! Now’s your chance!”
“Don’t be scared and run! How long do we have to be scared by that bastard!”
“The bastard killed a few people alone, but fuck!”
Haha…”
The karma they had committed so far leaked out of their mouths one by one. Roselia was right. I guess I did a lot of hateful things. Well, I’m not alone in getting my wrists cut off.
Still, I tried not to kill him as much as I could, considering the friendship I had in the past.
It seemed that it was already too late for such a trivial excuse.
“이 개새끼야!”
In the end, the most courageous guy jumped in first. However, the size of the courage was not proportional to the skill. I swung my sword once more and cut off his wrist. A familiar scream rang like a class bell.
“Sir Baal!!!”
“Catch that bastard!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
As a sign of that, the shouts of the dead and those who were about to die began to rush in like water. Dozens of footsteps ran towards me only.
And I started running too. After that, my name, which was shouted like a curse, ran like crazy.
“Lope!!!”
“Ugh…!”
Every time I took a step, every joint in my body rattled and screamed. The aftereffects of the fall and the fatigue of the ensuing battle had not yet fully recovered. Even her vision was blurred because of the bloodstains sticking to her eyes.
Besides, I wasn’t even a very fast runner. Among those following, of course, there were those who were faster than me. Eventually, after a while, Hannom came to the side and brandished a club.
“Stop the fuck!”
“Damn it…!”
The awkwardly outstretched hand was cut off with a club. But thanks to that, the speed was slowed down and the steps were twisted. I only stumbled for a moment, and an iron skewer flew right away.
“Ugh…!”
I hurriedly lowered my head, and a sharp piece of metal passed by just above my head. Without even looking back, I grabbed the sword in reverse and stabbed it backwards as hard as I could. It was a risky move, but it stabbed the black guy deeply into the belly and made him fall out.
But right away, another guy reached out his hand as if grabbing at the hem of his clothes. There was no end if we went on like this. Unlike the frenzied ones, I was already quite tired. It was clear that sooner or later he would run out of breath and not be able to run.
Find a way to get away somehow…
“Wow!”
“…Shit.”
Another body rushed into the gap between his thoughts. The man who ran fast despite his heavy body couldn’t even raise his pants properly. Dirty child. Did you run while you were doing it? Disillusioned, I thrust the sword into my bare chest.
But that was a mistake.
“Uuuuu!”
“This crazy…!”
He groaned and gripped the sword firmly in his body. Even though he was stabbed right in the middle of the day, he closed his eyes and didn’t show any pain. Seeing that he kept drooling, it seemed that he had inhaled some sort of poison and rushed at it.
Whatever the cause, that single mistake was fatal. A huge crowd rushed behind his huge back. I hurriedly tried to draw my sword, but in the end I clenched my teeth and head-butted.
“Gagging!”
“Ugh…!”
Beep beep…
For a moment, I heard tinnitus and my mind was clouded. In the meantime, a huge figure was hovering in front of my eyes. Even the twitching of his hand seemed to be trying to grab hold of me again.
“It’s a little out of this fuck!”
I screamed out loud and drew my sword. And after that day. No, actually, for the first time in my life, I cut off a person’s head.
“Aaaaagh!”
…!
…
When a person’s throat was cut, there was no creaking sound. Instead, there was a soft, soft sound, like the flesh of a tree being forcibly torn apart. The fountain of blood gushing from the severed neck overwhelmed the vision with the sound.
The vast night sky dyed in deep blue. The red tribute of her land to her. In that blurry landscape that seemed like a dream, I took a deep breath for the first time in a long time.
And before I could exhale, three bodies attacked me at once.
“Got it!”
“Ugh…!”
“Everybody rush! Grab the knife first!”
Fuck this…!
Drenched in a dream, I bit my tongue and urgently sought my senses. But six hands were already holding the hem of my clothes. I somehow held the sword short and danced like crazy.
“Uuuuu…!”
“Just keep calm…Ugh!”
“Fuck…Fuck!”
“Push it! Push it first!”
Poking cut. Taking During the biting, the blood that I don’t know who it belonged to splattered in all directions, staining my vision red. Even in the middle of it, they somehow ran to catch me and I kept walking backwards.
“…!”
Then a mound of dirt crumbled under his heel. Looking back, I saw a slope leading to the forest. The horse was a slope, but because of the sheer slope, it was practically no different from a cliff.
It was clear that he would fall if he went on like this. But there was no way to resist the pushing force. I smiled at the realization of the coming future.
Damn.
It’s already the second time today.
“Eww…!”
“Whoa!”
I finally gave up and hugged Hanom’s body. And without even thinking, he jumped off the cliff. Once again, a cold wind brushed against my ears, and harsh curse words ripped through the air.
“Lofe you crazy bird…!”
“Ah…”
…
“…Ah.”
Sick. Bones are cold
And it’s cold.
“Aww…”
Dirt and pain crumbled from under the palms. Unlike usual, the red soil was particularly irritating.
“Ha…”
The breath he exhaled turned into white steam, making his previously blurry vision even more hazy. In the meantime, I looked around for the sword like an instinct. Infantile attachment to a bottle. More obsession brought tears to my eyes.
Soon after, I was able to find a pure white blade embedded in the ground. You were there, you son of a bitch. It was within reach if I stretched out my hand, so I raised my arm while lying on my stomach.
But then something moved behind him. And before I could react, a dull shock hit the back of my head.
“Die…!”
“Ugh…”
Something heavy dripped down from above, crunching and crushing. At first, I thought my skull was cracking and my brain was flowing. But when he touched the back of his head, all that came out was dirt and blood. The hitter also seemed to be taken aback, and he opened his mouth and sighed in vain.
“Shit…”
“.Haha.”
It wasn’t a situation to laugh at all, but I raised the corner of my mouth. Did you think it was a stone and threw it down? However, what was in his hand was not a hard rock, but a pile of soil entangled in tree roots.
I drew my sword, savoring the luck I had in a long time. Then, he plunged the blade right into the man’s throat with his mouth open.
“Ouch.”
“…”
Another person died in front of my eyes. Even so, I didn’t feel the same shock as before. Seeing that I’ve already gotten used to that sense, I guess I’m a natural bastard.
I barely stood up, using my sword as a staff. Now, my legs, tired of fatigue, can’t shake and feel like they’re about to break at any moment. I can’t even tell if the blood flowing on my skin is someone else’s or mine.
In the meantime, I looked around and saw not one or two bodies lying down. In addition to the guys who fell earlier, it seems that there were guys who couldn’t beat the speed. Most of them were not in a rational state, so no one showed any movement.
But things aren’t over yet. Another voice came from above.
“I… That idiot…”
“Is there any way down? It must be here somewhere…”
“I found it! There it is!”‘
“Under…”
Like stubborn guys. Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand. I’ve come this far, but now it’s a shitty situation to go back to. Besides, looking at my current state, giving up feels even more strange.
Eventually I started running again. Without knowing where this is. Between trees and trees.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…”
“Where is it? It was near here…!”
“Be quiet, idiots! I can hear you from over there!”
“Haa… The plague…”
My mind collapses from irresistible fatigue. It is said that superhuman strength is displayed in extreme situations, but the accumulated injuries have suppressed even the survival instinct. The more you run, the narrower your field of vision and the more simplified your thinking. Absolutely have to turn away. Only that thought filled my head.
Okay. Have to run away But the moon is too bright today. No matter where you go, you can’t hide yourself in the dark.
My legs hurt too. Out of breath It’s hard to run. I wonder if I can somehow hide if I lie down like this.
Of course that is suicidal. Suddenly, many voices followed. Are there even bloodstains on the floor? No matter how much I run, they don’t get far. If I take a step forward, the voice gets two steps closer. I’m always twice as slow.
Should I rather stop here and deal with them all?
Just as I was thinking about such non-ideal thoughts, a voice jumped in from behind me.
“We are here!”
“Eww…!”
I turned right back. And this time, without hesitation, he swung his sword at his neck. The guy who screamed without even realizing it had his throat cut in half, and his blood gushed out.
“Ouch…!”
“이 개새끼가!”
But I wasn’t satisfied, so I stuck the sword into my torso and twisted it as hard as I could. It was very emotional and overly irrational. Even though I knew that fact, I howled like a beast without knowing it. The blood that splattered in his mouth was not fishy and tasteless.
“Come! Come!”
“Hey… There! There he is!”
Then, as if answering my call, three footsteps rang out. I thought there would be more, but strangely, the number was greatly reduced. It’s only three. Maybe some of them gave up and went back.
Could this be the last one? In vain hope, I gnashed my teeth. I’m tired of killing now. I want to quit even now because I’ve never felt such joy.
Still can’t stop ‘Cause it’s all what I did I’ve been told I’m lacking information now. There is no excuse for not knowing that Roseria would know that there were elves on this island. A variable is a variable and an outcome is an outcome. While I was making my resolutions, I heard a voice from nearby.
“I see! There he is!”
“It’s all gone! That’s it! Just run!”
“Yeah fuck. Come on…!”
While muttering in anger, they finally appeared. Just as I was about to think this was the end, I heard another voice from the other side. Somewhere, a pitiful, miserable voice called my name without swearing.
“Lope!”
“…!”
At that moment, my breathing stopped. The voice I just heard was so soft that it couldn’t be compared to the others. He didn’t have to think long about who the owner of the voice was.
“Lope! I’m on my way!”
No. Buy
She was coming this way It seems that he noticed the situation in this distant place with his sensitive elf senses. Could it be that the number of them has decreased because of Saya? I thought so, but quickly erased it. I couldn’t possibly imagine that.
The important thing is that Saya shouldn’t come here. Her presence must not be discovered by them. And more than anything, I don’t want to show Saya this sight.
“Eww…!”
So I took up my sword. And I ran towards them first.
“Please let’s finish it!”
“Aaaaa!”
Three figures leaped toward me at the same time. I swung my sword at the guy who ran first. The bloodstained blade tore through the night sky again.
But I was already too tired. The blade he barely swung was weakly blocked by the crowbar he had raised. When I realized my mistake, his head hit my forehead hard.
“Ah… Ah…”
“Ugh…!”
For a moment, my eyes went black. I desperately tried to come to my senses, but my body was already lying on the floor. The one he bumped into was also knocked down as if the impact was strong.
I got goosebumps at the touch of the earth on which I lay. It was as if the soft earth was whispering death in my ear.
But the other two didn’t come. They looked towards the bush as if they had discovered something. Unbeknownst to me, the leaves moved slightly where my vision followed.
At that moment, something bright yellow came out like a flash and hit them both.
“What… What!”
“Whoa!”
“No!”
Only I knew what it was, so I screamed in despair. She appeared in the darkness with her blonde hair scattered and looked back at me with a teary expression.
“Rope…”
“Buy it…!”
“What else is this!”
Before I could call her, her goons raised her weapons. Saya looked at it and pulled up her collar to cover her nose and mouth.
Then, at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, he began to collide with the two.
“Wh… What!”
“Oops!”
“Huh…”
Saya’s breath blended in between the groaning sounds of astonishment. Every time I blinked, dozens of flashes hit their shoulders and torso. They also waved their hands to counterattack, but each time they twisted their bodies in the air and lightly avoided their touch.
It was as if he was alone in the water. If I had been more skilled, I would have knocked them out a long time ago. It would have been best for Saya to just stab her in the shoulder at random.
Besides, the weight was too light to subdue them just by bumping into them. At least for now, it was all I could do to stop my feet.
“Ughhhhh…!”
As she tilted her head, the missing sword caught her eye on the other side. First I had to stand up. But I wasn’t the only one who thought that.
“Eww…!”
“…!”
The crawling ankle was caught by a large hand. When I turned my head, the conscious man grabbed me by the neck.
“Die… Die!”
“Keuk…!”
Breathing was reversed by the ignorant force, and the oxygen in the brain began to dry up. I gritted my teeth and reached for the sword. Then he grasped my wrist as if he had noticed his intention. Really an inch. It was just one inch short.
“No!”
Then Saya’s pitiful cry was heard. Before the cry was over, two dull blows sounded, followed by the sound of urgent footsteps. I tenaciously reached out before the sound could reach it.
At that moment, the sword was sucked into somewhere. As he raised his head, bright yellow hair cascaded down into his field of vision. She raised her sword as high as she could, her hands trembling.
“Ughhhhh…!”
Ah…!
I raised my hand in amazement. Saya was about to walk the path of no return. However, she couldn’t get enough strength in her arms, so she opened her mouth in a suppressed voice.
“Buy…!”
Crisp.
…
The next moment, the familiar sound of a head being smashed echoed. Blood dripped from his tightly closed eyelids. Then, with a thump, his body collapsed, and the hand that gripped his neck was released.
“Cheuk…”
I immediately turned around and let out a cough. Oxygen clung to his throat, making a gurgling sound.
“Collock…Collock…”
“Ah…”
“Collock…Buy…Buy…”
“Ah…”
When I opened my eyes, I saw the blood-stained figure of Saya. She was leaning against her tree, still holding her sword, gasping for her breath. I hurriedly approached and grabbed Saya’s hand.
“Saya. Wake up. Look at me.”
“Lo… Lope.”
“It’s okay. Look at me. And give me the sword. Huh?”
“I… I…”
That little hand didn’t know that it would come off the sword. Her skin, which had been white and soft, was now stained with dark red stains. It was so sticky that it seemed that no matter how much I rubbed my face, it wouldn’t come off.
When I tried to forcefully remove her sword from Saya, she shook her head. Then she suddenly raised her head and looked to one side of her.
“…Look over there Lope.”
“Yes?”
“That… Over there…”
I then turned my head to follow her gaze. Then I saw the corpse of the guy who had choked me earlier. I thought it would have been split in the head by the sword, but it wasn’t.
An arrow was stuck in his head. It wasn’t even made roughly, it was a crossbow arrow made for military use.
“…Uh?”
As I raised my question, Saya grabbed my hand. Then she said, passing her sword with her trembling hand.
“It’s him.”
“Who?”
“The one who called your name in front of the dorm the night you brought Haru.”
Suddenly, memories from the past flashed through my mind. Okay. I’m sure you said something like that. There were so many things that I forgot about for a while, but that night someone came to visit me. He quietly called my name and his name and said he was going back. Because the voice was so small, only fragmentary clues remained that his name ended in car.
Anyone I know knows how to use a crossbow. Anyone with that letter in their name…
“That…”
“Whoa…”
Then, a familiar sigh was heard from somewhere. His breath gave off the smell of cigarettes that had been stale with the years.
“It’s not too late.”
“…”
It was a familiar voice. It was the same voice I often heard at the school gate when I was in the academy. I thought it was Erica at the time, but in reality it was a completely different person.
The person who used to talk to me at the school gate sighed again. A clatter of metal mingled with each step. Coming in front of us like that, she threw a longingly familiar scolding.
“That’s why I told you to learn some magic.”
