LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 438
Side Story 1: An Old Story Told by a Grandmother (12)
“I never thought a brat like you would stand up to stop me! I like that spirit!”
With Count Vitray laughing, the sword fell on Teddy’s head. A speed at which I wouldn’t have been able to react if he hadn’t spoken.
Teddy immediately pulled his body back and avoided the attack.
However, there is no way a seasoned swordsman could not anticipate his movements.
Count Vitray’s sword rose from the floor and aimed at Teddy’s chest once again.
‘Damn it!’
Die.
The unexpected attack cuts Teddy’s body in an instant at such a speed that only an afterimage can be barely seen.
But it wasn’t just Teddy who was here.
“Teddy!”
“You’re bothering me!”
A huge foot blocking Teddy’s vision.
Teddy realized that it was Tom’s foot his, which he had seen a few days ago.
Huge feet that could crush a person. However, there was no way that a superhuman, even among the rebels, would die from being trampled by a monster.
“Sweetheart, your lifespan has been extended a little.”
“…Thank you. “Maria.”
“Get ready to fight.”
It was a cold voice, but Teddy smiled.
Because I could see the warmth hidden in her chilliness
Count Vitray, who was looking at the two of them, looked at them with an expression that made him feel sick to his stomach.
“I wonder who these damn guys are dating in front of…”
Tendons sprouted from Count Vitray’s temples. Some people are rolling on the battlefield, but others are enjoying their youthful days. It can’t be fun.
The aura on his sword he became even darker.
“I will make you pay for your cruelty in front of me!”
Count Vitray kicked the ground. As his body he was shot like an arrow along with a hollow ground, Teddy put his aura on his sword and took the stand.
‘You have to deal with it calmly.’
You must remain calm when exchanging swords with an opponent who is clearly superior to you.
Because even the briefest of gaps will blow your head off.
‘I can’t let you go to Maria… ‘
“Tom!”
A huge hunting dog leaped towards Count Vitray. Teddy realized that the lunge he was a signal and he kicked the ground.
Not alone, three.
With the three of us, we can somehow defeat the mighty Count Vitray.
At least that’s what they believed.
No, I had to believe that.
The opponent in front of you is a margrave who has guarded the border for a long time and a man who once competed to be the best swordsman in the kingdom.
Teddy, who had just taken off his rookie shirt, was not an enemy he could face.
But what is the point of being scared? If he is too scared to do anything, he will lose everything.
Teddy remembered Maria behind her and swung her sword with all her might.
It’s awkward, but it’s also a knight’s sword.
Count Vitray snorted at the neat sword strokes and tried to strike Teddy’s sword.
But Tom’s front paw swung as if to block his actions. Although it does not have overwhelming strength and speed like the owner of the forest, it is a power that is difficult to ignore even with human skin.
Count Vitray’s sword twisted and tore off Tom’s front paw.
“Kang!”
“Get the fuck out of your asshole.”
“Tom!”
‘Gap!’
While Tom was taking a step back with his tail hanging, Teddy jumped out from Tom’s shadow and swung his sword. However, the opponent is someone who has lived most of his life in the battlefield.
This was not a man who could be defeated by a surprise attack like this.
‘Damn it!’
Teddy gritted his teeth at the heavy vibration he felt in his arm. His arms were thrown out and wide open. And Count Vitray kicked his empty body his his his.
“Ugh… !”
“Teddy!”
“What are these little flies doing? I am the body that has been rolling on the battlefield since you were a baby. Do you really think someone like you can put a scratch on my body?”
He looked at Teddy’s shabby figure rolling around on the floor and a sneer appeared on his lips.
A kid who doesn’t even know his fraction
‘I have to deal with it quickly and go back.’
No matter how he was, fighting forest monsters in the dark forest was not a pleasant experience, so he walked straight towards Teddy.
Tom rushed at him once again to stop him from trampling on the dirt and grass.
However, even if a being that was just a pet dog goes on a rampage, it cannot defeat the worn-out Sword Master. Tom couldn’t even react before his body split in half, spilling out his wad of cotton.
“Tom!”
“Maria…Run away…”
“B-but…”
Maria’s eyes were shaking frantically as if an earthquake had occurred. Her usual cold expression changed to an urgent one, and she tried to support Teddy, but she was unable to lift the knight in armor alone.
“Where are you going?”
“Teddy!”
Count Vitray once again kicked Teddy’s body and sent him flying far away.
His body flew like a ball and stopped only after hitting a tree. Maria’s eyes were full of worry and anxiety as she looked at him.
“Teddy…”
“I was wondering why that little girl was so cute, she was such a beauty that it was a shame to be stuck in a forest like this.”
“Turn it off…”
“Antalburigin.”
Count Vitray held his sword to her throat. A strand of red blood flowed down her neck.
It’s not deep, but it will soon get deeper.
“It makes me angry to think that you manipulated that damn b*stard into killing my men. “I just want to throw it to my subordinates.”
“…”
“But as a knight, I can’t do such a thing. I’ll kill you cleanly here. Witch.”
“…If you want to kill me, try killing me.”
Maria glared at him with her venomous eyes.
The fact that she might soon lose her life shook her to her core, but yet there was no fear in her eyes.
“Goodbye.”
Count Vitray’s sword entered Maria’s neck.
No, I almost dug in.
If only Count Vitray hadn’t been pushed away by the sudden goosebumps.
“This… !”
Baekja’s body was pushed far away and hit a tree. In a sudden situation, Teddy and Maria’s gaze moved to the source of power.
Maria’s body her trembled as her gaze her she remained fixed.
Sudden situation. One word flowed from her mouth
“Mother… ?”
