Love Letter From The Future

5. Bread and Dagger (56)

The sword and the ax dance.

The silvery flash that tore through the air was fierce. Every time blood gushed out, bone fragments and flesh fell to the ground with a muddy sound.

I put on the filth and took a step. Until a pure white shadow suddenly rises in front of my eyes.

My hand holding the sword immediately became stronger.

Pak, the seed cutting that goes down.

A snow leopard rushing at me was split in half. I put my claws first, but it wasn’t enough to overcome my aura.

The hatchet was roaming the air like a swallow.

It wasn’t long before the ax returned. With a thump, the smooth sack was held in my hand.

Before I knew it, the surroundings were full of corpses.

The number of fallen snow leopards has already exceeded ten. The monsters desperately howled and replenished their power, but fear that could not be hidden came out of their eyes.

no opponent

It was not a bluff or conceited evaluation. That was the objective gap between me and the snow leopard.

No matter how many monsters came, my victory would not change.

I don’t know if it’s a high-level monster, but the snow leopard looked like an intermediate-level beast.

The wolf beast that was hunted right before the hunting festival was an intermediate beast. At that time, he had defeated more than 10 enemies, but now he was confident that he could deal with 20 of them.

It was me who had grown remarkably in the past few months.

I was lucky, and I crossed the line several times. Thanks to that, I became stronger than ever before.

Isn’t the evidence now revealed in front of my eyes.

The snow leopards showed their teeth and growled. It seemed to want to show hostility to me, but the body was hesitating and backing away.

If you ran away, I would be fine too.

I already had enough game to take back to the village.

There was no need to bleed unnecessarily. Moreover, the snow leopard served as a check on humans who would come here.

However, if you move with rational judgment, it is not a monster.

It was a creature whose only guide was hatred and violence. They seemed unwilling to run away, leaving me and the elves behind.

Instead, each of them scattered and reorganized their formation.

The intent was clearly visible.

While some strong individuals kept me in check, the remaining snow leopards seemed to be planning to bite and kill the party. And it was also a very effective strategy.

Only Old Man Pope could face the snow leopard single-handedly.

Even old Pope was reluctant to face the Witchbeast head-on. Isha or Avian couldn’t handle the snow leopard.

In particular, Avian’s face turned pale and it had been a long time since he sat down on the ground. Looking at his trembling legs, I wondered if he would be unable to move for a while.

I sighed and straightened my posture again.

The heat of the battle, which heated up the body, was scattered with pure white breath. It was then that vague instructions flowed from my mouth.

“… … Isha.”

“Yes?!”

At my low call, Isha was startled and answered.

It seemed that he had been engrossed for a long time, even jumping up and down. I felt an unknown emotion in the eyes looking at me.

Astonishment, admiration, and fear.

It meant that he still didn’t fully trust me.

I didn’t even expect it, so I wasn’t disappointed. I just decided to tell her what I had to say.

“Stand back and shoot the arrow. Mainly those who approach Avian.”

“You, you and old Pope… … ?”

“Old Pope will take care of it… … .”

I wrapped the hatchet I was holding around my waist and concluded my words.

“I have to figure it out too.”

Aww, the snow leopard howled like a wolf.

Taking this as a signal, the wild beast of the snowy field kicked off the ground and jumped up. The elastic muscles were giving it terrifying acceleration.

A total of three snow leopards rushing at me.

When I put strength on my legs on the ground, snowflakes flew. Grinding my teeth, I thought the surroundings were compressed, and before I knew it, I was standing in front of the snow leopard.

It was a particularly large individual compared to other snow leopards.

It looked like a high-level magic beast, not a middle-level magic beast. If so, it was impossible to deal with it in one blow.

Kaga-gak, sparks flew as the blade and fingernails rubbed together. The snow leopard pulled the blade like a grip and thrust its snout at me.

The pure white fangs revealed their majestic appearance. Before that mouth opened wide, I put my head on the bridge of my pitch-black nose.

With a click, the beast’s jaw muscles stopped.

In that gap, I tilted my back and threw the snow leopard’s body backwards. Right after that, the muscles were squeezed as if twisting, and they were tied and inserted with full force.

It was an application of Seongguk Vision Moon Flipping.

Dirt and moss soared with a thud. It was at the same time that the two snow leopards that were charging from both sides threw their bodies away.

The sword was still caught in the claws of the snow leopard, which had fallen to the ground.

I decided to give up the sword cleanly. Because there was still a sub-armed.

The hatchet flew through the sky again. I hoped it would end with that blow, but Snow Leopard also had the ability to learn.

The snow leopard slashed the hatchet with a kang, kang, in succession.

Unfortunately, the hatchet did not seem to serve more than a check. I leaned down and dug into the arms of the Witchbeast, who had not been restrained by the hatchet.

However, Seo Pyo was not an easy opponent.

Using flexible muscles, the snow leopard immediately crouched down to respond to me. My rapidly falling body rolled along the snowy field with me.

I struggled so much, but strength was my victory.

My fists, which held down the forepaws with both knees, crushed the snow leopard’s nose.

Kwadeuk, the sound of cartilage breaking echoed.

In the meantime, the claws of a struggling snow leopard scratched my back. However, there was no way that the claws that were barely touching had great power.

It only left a shallow trace on the body protected by magical power.

Snow Leopard, who had escaped from the hand axe’s control, roared.

Kreurreung!

Seeing that he didn’t rush into it, he seemed to realize that the war situation was unfavorable. I sighed and took a deep breath and got up.

And for a moment to make eye contact with the snow leopard.

The magic beast cleverly turned around and changed the target.

It was towards Avian.

“Isha!”

“There is one more!”

However, Isha was already pointing an arrow at the demonstration.

As expected, there was one more magic beast that attacked Avian. While Isha was struggling to keep one in check, it seemed that the snow leopard that was aiming at me started targeting Avian.

It was embarrassing. There was no weapon in hand at the moment.

It was then that a strange sight caught my eye.

Between the tracks of the charging snow leopard, a small sprout was sprouting. As soon as I saw this, I immediately ran for the hatchet that had fallen to the ground.

And just as he grabbed the hatchet that had fallen to the ground, tree roots soared as if he had been waiting for it.

In order to tie up the snow table.

It was the support of Pope inspiration. Although the snow leopard tore the roots of the tree right away, that short time was more important to me than anything else.

“Good work, old Pope!”

“I didn’t help you bastard! You saved an elf!”

Of course, old Pope couldn’t accept my praise honestly.

Hearing the cries of struggling with tree roots and bow sticks, I pierced the atmosphere.

My thrown body hit the snow leopard that had just been freed from the roots of the tree. And before the snow leopard could do anything, hatchets were stabbed one after another.

Eudeuk, Kkack, Kwajik.

Just three ax strokes were enough. The beast’s four legs trembled as if it had received an electric shock, announcing its death.

Is the only thing left now that is the one that ran into old Pope?

As I was so stunned, there was a noise that brushed my ears.

A dull voice that bounced off the leather.

My eyes blankly turned to the epicenter. There was one more snow leopard charging at Avian from the other side.

Isha’s arrows could not penetrate the skin of the beast.

Instinctively, I threw down the hatchet. Then the snow leopard rolled up his body as if he had expected it, and accepted the ax blade on his back.

Blood gushed out, but that was all.

The snow leopard rolled on the ground once, and immediately attacked Avian as if it were about to kick it.

In those eyes, a fierce life was spreading. I felt the will to kill one somehow.

“Kyaaagh!”

The true source of the Witchbeast’s hostility was unknown.

What the hell is it that makes me risk my life to hurt others?

I wasn’t in a position to talk about it either.

Wood deuk, the sound of strong teeth twisting the bones resounded.

Avian’s body trembled. A pair of terrified eyes could be seen between the curled heads.

And drip, drip, dripping blood.

The snowfield was soaked in crimson.

bite the arm

Not Avian, but me.

Isha, who noticed this, burst into a scream.

“Hey, human!”

It hurt enough to make my jaw tremble. The feeling of the beast’s fangs trying to crush the bones in real time was not pleasant.

But I was used to the pain.

Grinding my teeth and tightening my arms, my muscles contracted and grabbed the snow leopard’s teeth. The snow leopard struggled and scratched my arm with its paws.

Until my remaining fist hit my forehead.

Crack, as his fists sank into the ground, the snow leopard let out a mournful cry. It was impossible to make any more noise because the teeth were held together.

Just waiting for me to throw the body to the ground after being punched again and again.

Avian trembled and raised his head.

It was an incomprehensible look.

So I smiled bitterly.

“You said you would protect me.”

A good article doesn’t lie.

Anytime, anywhere, aristocrats had to do their duty. like right now

The last one was dealt with with a hatchet embedded in the snow leopard’s body.

Snow Leopard, who had been arguing with old Pope for a long time, could not escape my hatchet. The battle was over, and there was only one problem left.

“… … How do I carry this to the village?”

I was just worried about how to transfer the results of today’s hunting.

Even so, the elven village would be able to ease their food worries for a while.

However, there was another thing that bothered me, the strange presence I felt before the snow leopard attacked us.

It seems that the reflected light was reflected at first glance.

I tilted my head, but soon turned off my nerves.

I’d rather be mistaken.

My mind was wandering for nothing.

**

“One of the scouts said they found a human captured by the elves.”

Temporary barracks set up in a coniferous forest on a dark night.

A girl with gray hair listened to the report in silence. The pain in his heart had been so severe during that time, and the tiredness was oozing out of his tired eyes.

Still, the girl couldn’t fall asleep.

Because I decided not to do it until I achieved my goal.

The girl let out a weary voice.

“Are you human? In this deep coniferous forest?”

“Yes, it is. The exact identity could not be ascertained. At that time, he was being attacked by snow leopards, so the only thing he could confirm from a distance was that he was a young man… … .”

Suddenly, the girl’s breathing stopped.

and take a deep breath.

For a few seconds as the inhalation and exhalation continued, the girl looked at the soldier with eyes resembling aquamarine.

“How do you know you’ve been caught?”

“It is said that his hands were tied to something, and his movements seemed to be difficult.”

The girl was silent. For a while.

When those pretty lips were separated once more, it was after a chill had settled in the barracks.

like frost.

“… … Let’s go there right now.”

Fate was approaching.
