1. The First Letter (71)

It was a strange sensation. Wild magic flowed through his veins like a beast. My head was dizzy. His vision is blurry, and his left arm is tattered.

Torrents of magic forcefully widened the veins and poured down. Was there so much magical power sleeping in my body? A wild flow of magical power passed by, scraping through the imaginary veins.

sick. The sound of a pounding heart seemed to echo through the brain. Senses throughout the body sharpened. The more you do it, the more clearly you feel the pain.

The body was full of wounds. breathing became more rapid. Hehe, he hurriedly inhaled oxygen, causing his lungs to expand tightly. Then my mind came back a bit.

Where is this place? Yes, it was the forest south of the academy. The place where the hunting festival is held.

My eyes blankly turned to the man shaking me awake. It was Fermin senior. Hearing was gradually returning.

“Junior, junior! You must wake up!”

A man with a sunken cheek looked down at me with worried eyes. He was indeed a religious monk.

Of course, not all priests were good, but if they had deep faith, they were more likely to live a sincere life according to the doctrine.

It is because he has such a deep faith that he can walk the path of a monk. In order to make the skin tough like an iron plate, hot sand has been poured over the body since childhood, and the body itself is forged as a weapon by painting over it with divine power.

I couldn’t use one arm like now, and it wasn’t an enemy I could deal with in a situation where I was suppressed. If you can subdue him, there is only one way.

It was just a surprise. I instinctively made that choice. It seems so natural.

“… … Bae, pay, heuheu, Lemin sunbaenim.”

Seeing me muttering such words blankly with widened pupils, Fermin-senpai’s expression became even more urgent. It was hard to hear my small murmur, so he brought his face to my side to hear my voice a little more closely.

that was the patch I’m sorry to Fermin-senpai, but this was the only way for me.

Kwajik, and the sound of cartilage being crushed echoed.

Fermin-senpai’s eyes blankly turned to me. Blood spurted out, and I was biting Fermin-senpai’s nose.

Even if you trained by pouring hot sand, you wouldn’t be able to pour it all the way to your face. So I bit off my nose, which could be said to be the weakest part. Even so, it was tough skin.

But I did my best and bit the flesh off Fermin-senpai’s nose. Senior Fermin screamed in sudden pain and covered his nose. I took advantage of that opportunity and kicked Fermin-senpai in the stomach.

It felt like hitting thick leather. However, as if the shock had been transmitted properly, Fermin-senpai staggered back. My body reflexively raised the hatchet.

With a bang, the hatchet sank into Fermin-senpai’s temple. Of course, it was in the opposite direction to the day, but that was enough.

No matter how much he trained his body, he couldn’t train his temples. Like Thean, he could only endure with magic, but Fermin-senpai was not in a situation where he could generate magic.

He collapsed, covered his face with both hands, and let out a scream.

“Aagh!”

It only took a few seconds for Senior Fermin to collapse. It was a very natural connection. As if it should be like this, the body moves on its own.

Seething magic pulsated through his heart. Vitality pervaded the dying body as it intersected and intersected.

My eyes turned to Delphine-senpai.

that man is my enemy It was a very strong enemy. A woman resembling the sun, strong and beautiful.

Even in a fine state, he was not an opponent. When they were unarmed, they were tied at the cost of only one hand. But now, the other person was fine, and I couldn’t use one arm, and my whole body was a mess.

It was normal to be bent. Still, I had no fear.

Anger burst open the door in his chest and surged to the top of his head. It was an emotion of intense color that I couldn’t figure out why. My body moved on its own and threw the hatchet.

The blade of an ax slicing through the air barely passed by Delphine’s face as she was about to look back. And as it were, it completely bent its trajectory and got stuck in the neck of the beast.

A hook, sharp punching sound belatedly passed Delphine-senpai’s side. She was staring blankly at me.

Blood spattered like a peacock feather. It was an appropriate direction to decorate the background of a beautiful woman named Delphine.

I said, and the flesh of Fermin-senpai spewed out of my mouth. I laughed.

“Let’s play somewhere, Lady Pink.”

And I’m sorry, Fermin-senpai. I’ll buy you a meal next time.

I apologized to Fermin-senpai in a low voice and drew my sword.

When you injure your nose, blood overflows and you try to block your airway. So he wouldn’t be able to return to battle for a while, and if he went to the high priest, he could quickly restore his nose.

It was the best decision for me. How did he make such a judgment in such a short time?

It was a meaningless question. Every time I let out a heated breath, my memories mixed into a mess as if my brain was overloaded.

don’t forget? what the hell

At that moment, what stood in my way was a man with a shaved head. The hatchet came down with the momentum to cut me in two.

As soon as you take a step back, the space splits. It contained so much power that the sound of the buzzing and quivering air was fierce.

When a hatchet is swung, another hatchet naturally follows.

It was a chain of hatchets that swung one after another. To make matters worse, in the distance, Aisia senior was chanting and preparing magic.

Is it an auxiliary magic? Or he could have tried to hit me directly. It didn’t matter anyway.

Senior Fermin’s movements flashed through my mind.

Read at readwn

Just before the arms were swung, the jujutsu suppressed the movement and threw my body to the ground.

It was an arcane combat technique that only monks trained in the Holy Kingdom could use. I didn’t know the detailed principle, but it would take a long time to train just to grab the arm by digging into the crack of swinging the blade.

The reason was unknown. I just thought that it should be. So, in that tiny gap where the hatchet was swung once more.

My body, which had been taking backward steps, kicked off the ground. Older Olmar had already been hit by this sudden rush before entering the forest. Naturally, I tried to step back and prepare for my follow-up, but my target was not his body.

Tak, my hand naturally grabbed Olmar’s strong arm. The movement was so smooth that Olmar could only stare blankly at me.

He only had one arm that he could use. It was common sense that they could not pass over Olmar’s gigantic figure.

But it goes It was an incredible sight. Older Olmar’s world turned upside down, and with all my might I slammed the giant into the ground. As I grieved at this, bloodshot eyes stood in my eyes.

With a thump, the ground explodes.

Stone fragments from the smashed dirt floor were scattered in all directions. It was as if a bolt of lightning struck the center of Old Marr’s huge body.

“Keep, keug… … !”

Blood gushed out of Olmar-senpai’s mouth. The dust was so thick that it was difficult to see. But there was no time for me to hesitate.

Senior Olmar’s huge body had dug into the ground to some extent. It was such a shock that I couldn’t move right away.

My knife was thrust into Olvar-senpai’s shoulder.

“Quaagh!”

With the feeling of the blade tearing through the muscle, Olmar’s scream resounded. I didn’t stop there, I put more weight on the knife and pushed the blade even deeper.

Another scream escaped Olmar’s mouth.

The pain was so great that Olmar used his trembling arm to grip the blade that went into his shoulder. There was a clear look of pain in Olmar’s eyes.

I made eye contact with senior Olmar and said. like chewing.

“… … It belongs to Celine.”

As soon as I pulled out the knife with a push, the clogged blood gushed out. And once again with a drawn sword. It was a blow that severed even the tendons of the remaining arm.

Screams and blood once again colored the air. There would be cumulative damage from being stuck on the ground, so it was good that senior Olmar didn’t have to worry about it for a while.

It was then.

Something was fired with a pop. It was the ice pick, Aisia-senpai.

I tilted my head and easily dodged it. My eyes naturally turned to Isia-senpai.

“Oh, Olmar! you, you really… … !”

Aisia-senpai seemed angry. An old colleague was hurt, so it was understandable.

Because now I also have a fever in my head because of it. As my ferocious eyes aimed at Aisia-senpai, Aisia-senpai shuddered.

But still, the anger seemed to outweigh the fear. She bit her lip and fired dozens of ice picks one after another.

Pak, Pak, Pak. The ice bullets fired one after another with a strange firing sound drew a strange trajectory. It wasn’t just a straight line. It was a magic that gradually encroached on the space, so that in the end it could be weighed.

Trying to slash the ice pick will only get you more and more surrounded, and trying to avoid it will only get you more and more cornered. It was a magic that required a thoroughly calculated trajectory and a sense of space beyond that.

At least that much, it could be said that he was a competent person worthy of going with Delphine.

I ducked my upper body to avoid the ice pick. Then, as if scratching the ground, my hand gripped the hatchet. It was the hatchet that senior Olmar had dropped.

My response was simple. It was like throwing a hatchet.

The hatchet spun as it tore through the air. The trajectory of the hatchet flying among the ice picks was breathtaking. The blade of the ax passed between the shooting ice picks and headed for senior Aishia.

Aisia-senpai had a visibly flustered expression. It was as if I didn’t know that the ax blade would fly right in front of me through the ice picks.

However, no matter how fast the hatchet was, it was already within sight. An ice pick was fired at the hatchet and managed to collide at an angle.

The hatchet rose up into the sky with a booming sound and drew a parabola. Seeing the hatchet fly overhead, she finally put on a relieved expression.

Pak, until the ax blade was stuck in her calf.

“It’s dark… … ?!”

Aisia-senpai’s posture collapsed immediately. Her eyes turned to my calves in disbelief. There was a hatchet stuck there. it flew in from behind.

How could it be that Aisia-senpai looked at me like that. The answer was simple.

The hatchet flew in a parabolic arc, and it drew a return trajectory like a disk, cutting Aishia-senpai’s calf from behind.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to answer this. After avoiding the ice pick, I grabbed the rest of Olmar’s hatchet. The moment Aisia-senpai’s attitude collapsed, it was no different than the end.

My foot immediately kicked the ground. The crouching body pulled up and accelerated. In an instant, the distance between Aishia-senpai and me narrowed.

Aisia-senpai fired the remaining ice picks like a madman. However, even the trajectory of the ice pick fired from the collapsed position was a mess.

It was enough to break it with the blade of a sword. After a moment of hesitation, a silver aura shot from my sword leaving an afterimage like a brush.

Bang, bang, bang!

With just one swing, the ice picks shattered one by one, leaving behind beautiful debris. The halo of light penetrating through the ice sculptures created a mysterious atmosphere. However, Aisia-senpai’s face, who witnessed that dreamy scene, only grew more pale as time passed.

There were no ice picks to stop the next surge. Seeing me kicking off the flying debris, Aisia sunbaenim shook her head and screamed. was sitting down.

“Oh, oh, don’t come! stop! Don’t… Kyaagh?!”

Approaching her, I stabbed her remaining leg without hesitation. Aisia-senpai’s scream echoed with the sound of wheezing. Then, he raised his hatchet and struck Aisia on the side of the head, who was screaming in the direction of the bladeless.

The light disappeared from Aisia-senpai’s eyes with the sound of “Pak”. There was not even a scream now. Her body collapsed like dry straw.

“This is up to Elsie-senpai.”

At my chilly voice, Elsie-senpai stammered as she pointed to herself as if embarrassed.

“… … Yes? Nana?”

Come to think of it, Elsie-senpai’s ankles were still bound by ice shackles. I don’t know what happened to her, but she doesn’t seem to be able to use magic yet, so I tried to approach her first out of concern.

Because the priority was to free Elsie-senpai. If it wasn’t for the voice tickling my ear, I would have headed straight for Elsie-senpai.

“… … How did you do it?”

My steps stopped abruptly. Without words, my eyes turned to the source of the voice.

It was Delphine senior. She was looking at me with an expression of incomprehensibility, with her eyebrows slightly narrowed.

She was always laid-back and proud. Even the change in facial expression you see right now belongs to an explicit expression of emotion. It meant that I had lost my composure.

I looked at Delphine senior as if he was saying something. My arms were still throbbing, my body was not in pain, and I was short of breath, probably because I was working too hard in a tired state.

I was just pretending to be calm. I hope that both Celine and Elsie will be at peace.

“Isn’t that the taijutsu that defeated Olmar, the secret jujutsu of the Holy Kingdom?”

“I do not know.”

“And that strange trajectory drawn by the ax thrown at Aishia… Have you ever been taught in a sword circle?”

“I don’t know.”

Delphine-senpai’s eyebrows twisted in dissatisfaction.

Without a word, gold and blood collide in the air. And his hand went to his waist.

It was just before the crash.
