chapter 39
Chapter 039. take care of yourself
The identity of the gradually approaching shadow was a dark knight.
It seems that the demon in the sword sent it.
It felt like my eardrums would explode at the sound of my heart beating.
‘Should I run away?’
Zeke swallowed dryly and looked at the tree where Leah was hidden.
He could have lived if he left her and ran away even now.
What they’re after is a bowl for Bronkel, not a kid like Zeke.
‘sh*t.’
I closed my eyes tightly.
It was only yesterday that I promised myself that I would never become a coward again, but I was already thinking about running away.
I felt sorry for myself.
But on the other hand, I also thought it was natural to run away.
When he had made that promise before, he had a strong ally named Aaron, but now he was alone.
Even if we hide here and launch a surprise attack, it’s unclear if we’ll be able to defeat them.
Failure would only result in death.
Do I have to risk my life here?
Is Leah worth it?
I don’t want to die here.
Can I beat them?
Sweet temptations from fear floated through my head.
“Brother Zeke.”
Suddenly Leah’s voice came from the trunk of the tree.
Jack turned his head in surprise.
The rock blocking the hole moved aside and Leah came up.
She tried to stand up on her feet, but when she couldn’t, she crawled on all fours and came to Zeke.
She was naked, not wearing a single thread, but she showed no signs of shame.
“Leave me.”
Leah said in an urgent voice.
Zeke hardened his expression.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It smells. A dark knight or something stronger is coming.”
“… … .”
Zeke tried to hide that the Dark Knight was coming.
No, in fact, he tried to hide his feelings for abandoning Leah.
But she was already aware of the pursuer’s existence.
Thanks to the treatment she received in the process of becoming a vessel, she was able to feel demonic energy.
“You already knew.”
Leah’s face hardened.
The boy, still not good at lying, couldn’t hide his emotions.
“It’s okay, let’s go.”
Leah’s hardened face quickly softened. He smiled softly as if he understood everything.
The sight pierced Zeke’s heart painfully.
“you… … Aren’t you afraid of death?”
I met her yellow eyes.
The appearance of a Maggie Syndrome patient who would not have even glanced at it, saying it was dirty.
But now there was only a poor girl who had lost everything in front of him.
“How can I not be afraid? However, I only pursue something more valuable.”
“You mean my life is more valuable than yours?”
“Odd Haken’s blood is much more precious than Jaqueline’s, who has become like this because she couldn’t protect her neighbors and vassals.”
“… … .”
Jack kept his mouth shut.
Leah was afraid.
He pretended to be resolute on the outside, but he couldn’t hide the trembling of his voice and body.
The bloodshot yellow eyes contained resignation, not determination.
‘You bastard.’
Sieg shook his head vigorously and gripped the hilt.
‘Take pride. You are Odd Haken.’
Aaron’s words lingered in his ears.
Throwing a woman who can’t even resist as bait and running away is what is Odd Haken and what is the kick-off.
After living as a coward all my life, I finally got a chance to surpass myself.
If I ran away from here now, I would be able to save my life, but I would never be able to overcome the wall of cowardice.
“If it doesn’t work, make it happen.”
He hugged Leah while reciting a long-forgotten family motto.
Leah looked up at him with rabbit eyes open.
“young master?”
“It’s our family motto. Aren’t you tired?”
“… … If you don’t go now, you’ll die too.”
“I will no longer be a coward.”
“… … .”
Leah said no more.
He realized that Zeke’s words were not bluffing.
“Be quiet.”
Zeke hid Leah under the tree again and took off her armor.
I tore off the sleeves of the jacket and the hem of the trousers and tied the removed armor together, and a plausible pile was completed.
From here it takes half a day to Mainville.
I was already worried at the thought of going through the dangerous rocky terrain and crossing the dangerous forest.
“Whoa… … .”
Zeke let go of his worries with a sigh and raised his head.
A handful of remaining faint auras lifted his tired body.
“let’s go.”
He slung the dummy over his shoulder to replace Leah and sprang out.
f*ck!
Minutes of running desperately off the rocks.
Something flew from behind and lodged itself in my left leg.
My body leaned forward with a terrible pain.
The thin aura that supported the body disappeared in an instant, and the loosely woven pile shattered with a loud sound.
“Grow!”
Sitting next to the pile, Zeke gritted his teeth and lowered his gaze.
The longsword that flew from behind pierced his thigh like a skewer and protruded forward.
“oh! Is that right?”
“You madman. Are you throwing a sword for that?”
A hoarse voice came from behind.
The Dark Knights, who had been seen far away, were coming close at hand.
Before they even reached the fork in the road, they knew the prey had stopped moving.
It was because the smell that had been emanating from a certain distance suddenly became thicker at some point.
“What did I say? Did you say it would bounce?”
“Sick bastard. You should be quietly hiding, so why are you coming out and f*cking?”
The two made a bet before going hunting.
Will the prey remain hidden, or will it run away?
The answer was the latter.
Zeke chose to flee before the pursuers arrived.
“As promised, that guy is mine.”
“Not everything. I got it right.”
“Even if you didn’t hit it, I would have caught it.”
“Still, I guess I was right.”
Light bargaining continued as if dealing with items on the market.
The negative emotions of the intelligent body are good food for the renegades.
He’s still lively, so if you torture him to the fullest, you’ll be able to extract high-quality demonic energy.
“Patience. Then just pull out your nails.”
“Are you doing that lightly? You have to do your claws.”
“Ah, how long does it take to open it? Okay so finish it quickly. If it’s late, we both die.”
“Okay, man.”
After bargaining, the knights approached Zeke.
Zeke didn’t even move as if he passed out from the pain.
“Oh, this is no fun.”
The knight in charge of the claws gripped the sword stuck in the prey’s leg.
Zeke’s body, motionless for a moment, spun around.
“aaa!”
The knight grabbed his arm and stepped back.
More than half was cut below the elbow, and he was dangling in the air.
It was a surprise attack with a sword hidden under the body.
“Big!”
Zeke gritted his teeth and pulled out the sword stuck in his leg.
Then he threw the drawn sword down the cliff and stood up with a limp.
Every time his heart beat, blood gushed from the pierced wound.
I’ve already been prepared for this kind of situation.
I braced my trembling chin and lowered my posture to avoid collapsing.
As the fear reached its peak, the mind rather calmed down.
“I thought it was a bug that couldn’t even hold a knife, but it seems to know how to wriggle.”
The dark knight next to him pulled out his sword.
Even though his colleague’s arm was cut in half, he didn’t give a glance.
“Jerk the. Did two knights follow me to catch me?”
“hehehe. okay. this is fun It would be fun to play with.”
The corners of the knight’s mouth went up at the pretentious provocation.
A mouse driven into a corner will bite a cat too, but a mouse is still a mouse.
visor!
With one sword strike, Zeke lost his balance.
He pretended to fall and thrust his sword into the knight’s chest.
“Puhahahaha!”
The knight burst into laughter and let go of the sword, then caught up with the falling Sieg.
Crunchy!
His right leg was grotesquely broken by the strong kick.
A broken shinbone protruded through the flesh.
“Keuheugh!”
My eyelids trembled in agony from the pain.
But he didn’t let go.
He turned around and swung his sword.
The same way the first article was hit.
A bloody sword grazed his neck.
“Wow, this guy is poisonous.”
The playfulness disappeared from the knight’s face.
He wiped the blood from his neck and swung his sword again.
The first sword attack was withstanding, but the second was too much.
The strong impact tore his grip and the sword was pulled out.
“Kill it! Kill, this dog! ”
As the sword flew away, Zeke shouted with bloodshot eyes.
Supporting the body with both arms and screaming was like seeing an undead without a leg.
“Let’s just kill it and go. It’s like stepping on sh*t.”
The dark knight muttered with a tired face.
Humans who lack mental strength sometimes go crazy because they can’t overcome fear.
There was nothing to be gained from torturing these guys, so it was best to just kill them.
“What are you just killing! Cut off all limbs and gut them!”
The knight with his arm cut off approached in a fit of rage.
He snatched his comrade’s sword with his one free arm.
“… … ?”
He was about to cut off Zeke’s arm, but he hesitated.
When I raised my head with a creepy murderous intent, I saw an unknown red haze.
jump!
The haze blew away the entire top of his eyebrows and flew away for a long time before disappearing.
Blood and brains flowed from the sloppy shattered head.
“crazy!”
The dark knight standing next to him opened his mouth wide.
Just as he was about to snatch the sword from his fallen colleague, a chilling voice came from behind.
“Couldn’t you have been a bit more hasty?”
Something sharp came softly down the back of his neck and protruded from the neck.
“Curr… … .”
He collapsed, blood pouring from his throat.
A clear sky cleared of demons.
It was the last sight he saw.
“… … older brother.”
Zeke looked up at the head that had fallen beside him.
Aaron, covered in renegade blood, was looking down at him holding a strange sword.
“Good work.”
It’s a simple, yet incredibly calming word.
Zeke did not catch the consciousness of moving away.
* * *
“Lord!”
after a while
Raast and the Dwarf warriors arrived at a crossroads.
Rhaast and Exar were treated by Aaron and regained their vitality, but the other dwarves were still in poor condition.
The Raguz rune could not heal everyone because it consumed twice as much mental power when used on others.
Therefore, the two strongest were treated first, and then the others were led.
“Welcome.”
Aaron, who was sitting on a rock, jumped down.
While he was waiting for the party, he healed Zeke after filling his mental power with fast sleep.
I wanted to treat Leia as much as possible, but it was not easy to treat her because she absorbed Bronkel’s demonic energy.
“ostrich!”
“brother… … . Ugh.”
Leah, who was being looked after by Zeke, tried to get up as soon as she saw Raast, but collapsed.
“Don’t overdo it. It will come on its own.”
Zeke picked her up and put her back down.
Rhaast hurriedly ran and crouched down in front of the two.
He glanced at Leah and saluted Zeke first.
“thank you. young master. You have done a great job.”
“My brother made it. I haven’t done much.”
“… … .”
Rhaast looked at Zeke with bright eyes.
Zeke furrowed his eyebrows.
“Why are you looking at me like that? feel bad.”
“I just think you’ve changed a bit. Haven’t you been flattered when you hear something like this before?”
“… … I was like this.”
Zeke fired at him with a shy face and left.
Raast bowed his head once more at his consideration.
“Is there a warrior whose life is in danger?”
While the brother and sister shared the joy of reunion, Aaron checked the condition of the dwarves.
Most of them were able to walk on their own, except for Exar and Raast, who stood at the forefront, but there could be some who came this far and deteriorated.
“Thanks to you, everyone will be able to walk to Tmolia. Don’t worry.”
After checking the condition of the warriors, Exar spoke as the representative.
Aaron nodded and went straight to Jaqueline’s brother and sister.
“Lord.”
“Brother Aaron?”
The siblings who were chatting looked at him at the same time.
Aaron grinned and put his hand on Leah’s shoulder.
“If I pass out, take care of it. You will lie down for a while.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
“Emergency Resuscitation.”
[Removes all status ailments from the target and maximizes physical strength and mental strength.]
[Stamina and mental strength are reduced by 99%.]
With the dry message, the son-in-law was dyed blue.
