Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

“Aren't you wary of traps? ”

“He's that confident in himself. ”

“I'd better hurry.”

The sunset rolls its wings quietly.

By the time I arrived at the seventh dandruff graveyard in the suburbs of the capital, I could only hear the sound of a fly crying in the darkness with no stars or moons. It seems that the wingworms have eaten away the last light hung from the awkward tombstone.

“I'm on ambush. ”

Trophin Nanao in a thin mask hides on one side of the cemetery.

I could feel the tree's origins, the stone's origins, and the leaves' origins, but I couldn't detect her anymore.

I hid myself in the woods nearby.

We don't know how the Marquis will appear.

It was possible to bring Azura's Wizards or the Blue Lion Knights would appear.

I hid and waited as long as I could.

After waiting a long time, even the weeping worms lie next to the dead, keeping their mouths shut.

The cemetery was still.

Following the tranquility, a human slowly walks to the meeting place.

He was a man in normal clothes with nothing but a knife around his waist, no helmet, no armor.

As a human being made of blood and flesh, it is unlikely, but the temperature of the cemetery seems to decrease with each step.

I called her to meet me, but she just walked right in front of me.

I became anxious.

I scoured the area with a detection skill that had been activating since I arrived.

I felt nothing other than a man.

I was alone.

I didn't bring the Wizard or accompany the Blue Lion Knights.

There is no suspicious impression of pretending.

The man stands in a void in the middle of the cemetery, the meeting place.

He folds his arms and stares into the air, his knife completely locked inside the sheath.

Suddenly, the strong wind shook the bush and the mantle of the man dizzily.

I went out without unmasking myself just in case.

But also, before I could even take twenty steps inside, the man stared at me.

It was a fixed gaze that cannot be mistaken if it was a coincidence.

The man relaxes his arms and lowers his hands slightly down.

“Trying to control me from behind. Is that you? Undead. ”

It was a dry tone.

I didn't mean to be hard or get rid of it.

It's as natural as it has been for a lifetime.

It feels completely different from chasing me from the boat.

Maybe it's in its original nature.

He looked at me with a burial expression that even felt normal. I nodded at him.

“I have something to tell you. ”

Even though I know I'm not human, the Grand Heir is not pulling out his sword.

“Let's hear the story. ”

I didn't feel life or pressure. We might actually have a conversation.

I said it directly.

“Lord Leandro, stop the imperial war. ”

“Hmm.”

He turns his neck slightly.

It is enough to be interpreted as a story of rebellion. However, the reaction was not more severe than I expected.

Do you already have something on your mind? Four swords of the Empire.

As he's in charge of inspecting, he may know more about the imperial background than I do.

“The ghosts of Duke Laurence. Do you know you're assassinating an anti-war faction? ”

The baron nods.

“It's a common power struggle. Even if it leads to war, there is no reason to intervene. I am only the sword of the Empire. ”

Strange.

There is no mention of the Emperor, Clemens II, who intends to wage war.

I took his word for it.

I don't know, but did you know they're backed by the Demon King? ”

“" • What? ”

He raises his flawed eyebrows.

“The duc is being favored by Vibrio, the Deputy of Bothys. ”

The user inadvertently says it as an alias, but the target seems to immediately understand.

“Duke Laurence. Protected by the Demon King? ”

It's working.

He is tracking down a representative of Botis to eliminate the Darkness in the capital.

In the force.

I went to the end to tell him that I wanted to kick him out.

“The duc may be on your side now, but in the end, he only cares about himself. You know that, don't you? ”

The Marquis's lips twist.

However, he did not laugh at it, but he had a worried face.

You might be able to talk.

I'm sure he's got a point.

You couldn't detect any ghost activity, could you? Thanks to the blessings of the Demon King. ”

“Vibrio. If he threatens to take the blessings of the ducs and ghosts, the duc will kill you without hesitation." ”

Though the Duke was grumbling about Leandro, the consequences of killing him are important.

“That's just the situation. You want me to challenge the Duke for something he didn't come up with? ”

It's cold.

The atmosphere is bad... But let's calm down.

Just show me what you've prepared. “I know the future. ”

“Prophets?”

“Sort of. Regret. ”

The baron is silent.

I don't know what he's thinking, but at least he listens to me.

Maybe he knows how to listen. It was a horse riding a stream.

“I've seen you die in vain more times than you deserve. Holding hands with me would be incredibly helpful. First of all...

A little weak, though.

“I'll show you the evidence first. ”

You twist the prepared wire in twelve directions to show the duchess.

“This...! ”

“If you have something to say, you promised to show Isabelle this, right? ”

A token that only two of you know.

I can feel the eyes shaking roughly. One step closer to me.

I stepped up.

“I guess you're right. ”

“Why would I want to see you? ”

First, I rode the breeze.

“So, how do we fight Duke Laurence from now on? ”

He took a step closer and asked a natural question.

“Besides Duke Laurence, who else serves the Demon King? I wonder.”

I think we have a good conversation.

Where do I start?

First, I thought of a group that serves the Pursons.

Like deer, snakes, and harpies. But isn't the T&T cleared up now?

Should I ask Nannau?

“That's...

As I was about to tell you, the Marquis approaches five paces ahead, swinging his sword expressionlessly.

I didn't feel any preparation, any help, and I didn't even feel alive. It was an attack that didn't feel like it had to be stopped.

There was no sound of pulling out the knife, no sound of cutting through the wind.

It was near my head.

It was as if the blade had used a magic transition.

It was too late to hold up your sword and duck your head.

With the helmet, the skull was about to crack in half. I just had to look at it stupid.

Ka River!

At that moment, two bullets strike the end of the Marquis's blade precisely.

Two noises without gaps in the air.

Combined into one.

Wherever you fired it was impossible without firing it before swinging it.

“Was it a gig? ”

The monarch takes a step back and, unlike before, grabs the sack with both hands and slaps it down at an angle.

I felt confident that the bullet in the shooter's hand, knowing its location, could be cut without being affected no matter how much it flew.

The first was a linked attack that had already been calculated to bounce off.

Just a little more than a meter long.

Although it was a knife, I focused on one person with an unreasonable pressure that seemed to cover the entire sky around me. I felt the pressure to do nothing and stiff my body.

But strangely, I felt confident that I could stop it.

"Once...

I can stop bullets from flying in. The way down the blade, you see the distribution of force.

The one who should be embarrassed is the Marquis who returned from the ambush.

Even if you don't use various skills, just a pure sword...

I can't even think about it anymore, so I pulled out my sword and stopped the collapsing attack. The impact was so strong that you couldn't even hear the crash that the entire body was immediately covered by the wrist.

Once.

The moment to stop the attack.

The surrounding area is not a quiet cemetery in the suburbs, but a stormy abyss.

It seemed like the water of the sea was running through the bones of my entire body.

The blade again quickly pierces the sides, bottom, and center, almost simultaneously.

I stopped them all.

It is different from when I just watched the situation helplessly.

Each one of them moves faster than the sound, even though it can't tell if it's breathing or breathing.

< No. No... >

As I recall the nun giving up on the beetle's repair, I slammed off the Marquis's attack one by one like a rain drop on the deck.

Kaga Gaga River!

I just heard the sound.

The faint sound of air grinding on the blade, the sound of a knife and a knife colliding, echoes for a long time.

The attack, the counterattack, was faster than the speed of sound.

Dallac.

Whether the shock is recognized later, the bones that repel the attack groan in agony.

What filled in between was the Marquis's surprised look.

“Me. Slash? ”

Pa!

In the meantime, the rapidly wedged white sickle prevents the attack from continuing.

The blue energy of the blade and the white sickle collide, and a shock wave spreads out around you.

As if an explosion had occurred, the surrounding gravestones collapsed and the soil that was lying around burst into all directions.

After the first brawl, Nannau takes three steps back.

Nannau's skill was surprising, considering that she was able to leap quickly from her side.

The monarch tilts his blade back and lowers slowly.

It felt like I was standing defenseless in front of a protested arrow, or ignited cannon.

“What. What are you doing? ”

The baron frowns.

“A token for Isabelle. How dare you show up to me.

I'll figure out what he's up to. ”

“Phew. The atmosphere suddenly became like this after talking well? ”

The monarch looks at Nannau and is told.

“Bullets and sickles. Some of your men testified against you. All of Lena's followers were left unconscious. ”

“So why are you so anxious about chasing after a woman? ”

Leandro smiles, smiling and smiling.

I would have come to you myself. I wanted to see what I could do. Let's finish this while we're here. ”

“Hahaha. I didn't know you were that interested in me. But I respectfully decline your confession. You've been very good so far. I've got a lot of work to do. Why are you doing this? ”

Without an answer, the Magister tightens the distance by pulling his blade up and down.

But as Nannau wedges in between, strangely, the distance from the erl does not seem to diminish at all.

You grabbed me pointing at the Marquis.

Pa-ang!

The air cracks violently.

At the end of the sickle, a powerful flame appeared instead of a bullet, and Nannau and I bounced off the other side for a moment.

[HP reduced by 3.8%.]

I even lost my stamina at this incredibly violent moment.

The scorcher who was caught in the flames of the sickle did not change his expression, and chased him away.

Nannau shrugs her shoulders, pulling the handle of the sickle horizontally.

“That's a nasty one. ”

Hrrrrrrr!

A blazing silver flash pours down on the duchess.

“Whew. Tough. ”

Trophin Nannau sighs, leaning against the wall in a tired tone.

“For saving me. Thank you."

He escapes, but in a short brawl, Nanyau is not outnumbered by the duchess. Without her, of course it would have ended there.

I can't believe you're not defeated by the sword of the empire. It's bigger than I thought.

“No, no, no. You were amazing. I heard Leandro was surprised. ”

“And I don't know if it's the right thing to do. Even if you run away today, it won't be the end of the day for a man chasing you like that. We'll see it through one day, just like he said. Convince, kill. ”

Did I force him to meet the Marquis?

I didn't know where to bounce because I provoked him for no reason.

After using the fences around the place, we headed to rena's rendezvous point.

I felt relieved in Lena's counting face.

“How did it go? ”

“Failure. Me. I didn't convince him properly. ”

“Too bad.”

However, unlike what I said, there was no regret on my face at all.

“I'm sorry I put you in danger because of me. ”

Lena shakes her head, smiling.

“No. That's what he said, but shaking it should do the trick. And... anyway.

He can't afford to care about us until he's done with Vibrio. It's used a lot overnight. ”

Lena looks up at the sky.

The darkness slowly walks, and the sound of blue birds proclaiming the morning pecks at a dark dawn.

After hiding quietly in the place she spoke of, a day passed. I promised to send word as soon as something happened, but there were no errands nearby.

Maybe one night, like Lena said, he spent enough time in the position of the Marquis of Vibrio.

Should I try to convince him again?

But with what?

I opened a clean inventory to get some advice, but Isaac was also asleep.

[Immersion operation…]

[Converting English phrase...]

[Measuring…]

I just noticed a new phrase.

[Getting into spatial dispersion…]

We still don't know the meaning.

It was after another day.

The aftermath of ‘shaking’ the Marquis was different from what I thought.

_Cough...

Lena opens the passageway underground and raises her head.

Her face is so tired, she opens her mouth.

“You can come out now. ”

“What happened to the Marquis? ”

“He's as good as dead. ”

“Dead. What do you mean? ”

I asked for an explanation.

Lena shakes her head to the side and says,

“Son. I've asked the duc publicly to cooperate with the investigation. ”

It's a good story.

Maybe Leandro took my story more seriously than I thought.

Based on what I've said, there is one thing that is clearly suspicious about the Duke.

It wouldn't have been two.

It's a good thing, "she said when she tried to ask Lena.

“And the duc asked him to fight. He took it without hesitation. ”

It's a personality thing.

Even when it was replicated as dozens of larvae, he asked for a duel, and it only hit one at a time.

“Duel? Where? ”

Lena's jaw twists.

“That's the problem. Fighting outside will damage the capital.

He called the monarch imperial scourge to fight. ”

“Imperial Violence...

“I went to die a fool. A dog without a collar walked into a trap layered on its own.” “Let's go after him. ”

“Yes?”

Lena asked again, ridiculous. But I haven't changed my mind.

“I'm going to save the Marquis. ”

I got up.

Lena blocks the door with her embarrassed face.

“But this is absolutely not going to happen. It's too dangerous.”

“I can't lose him for nothing. Besides, if the Duke had invited you, you'd probably be open to slander by now, wouldn't you? ”

To be honest, I wanted to enter the imperial slander more than I thought I should save Leandro.

A slander I've never even been inside.

I recall speaking with Isaac, the words of the ghosts in Erasts.

It's ridiculous that the story written in the Imperial Slander is true.

< Didn't I tell you? It is the blood of theorists who tore up the apostle. Of course it's in the imperial slander.

It is strange to penetrate through power.

Even if I die here, I don't know when I'll get this chance again.

If the Duke has invited someone as an Imperial Vigilante for a short while, there should be a gap somewhere for uninvited guests to enter.

“I agree."

I followed Lena from below.

Trophin Nannau nods.

“Ancestral!”

“It's not an easy opportunity. Obviously, the seal that was closing the slander was opened. I don't know when it's gonna close. I'll go with you.”

“Then I...

“No.”

“No. ”

Nannau and I said at the same time.

“What is it?”

“Please stay here. I don't know how long it's gonna take down there. I don't know what's gonna happen. In the meantime, I need someone to manage the guild. ”
