Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 185

Should I call it a blessing among misfortunes? Even though the carriage flipped over and rolled several times on the ground, no one died..

The driver, an adventurer in heavy armor, jumped out of the carriage as soon as the horse fell to avoid injury, and the people in the carriage, who were completely unaware of the situation, rolled over several times, but thanks to the strong carriage, they only groaned..

One horse was crushed by the carriage and died, but seeing as the two remaining horses were broken somewhere and unable to get up from the ground due to the impact just now, it might have been better..

Of course, it didn't matter to Carls, who was rolling around on the dirt floor. No matter how much he loved horses, he was not at the point where he cared about the fate of his horses even when his own life was at stake..

'Fucked..'

It's a situation I could never have imagined..

If you're lucky, they'll help you, and if you're unlucky, the enemies will just keep chasing you, not even paying attention to the adventurers who are trying hard to run away. Even if the adventurers figured out their intentions and were hostile towards them, I never thought they would attack them, even if they would curse at them..

"What is it, what is it? What happened??!"

The other members of the group were unable to properly control themselves in the completely overturned carriage, but Pooling, a woman who was able to stick her head out the window thanks to her small body, was free. Carls looked at her in astonishment, rolling her two large eyes around her, and burst into laughter without realizing it. There comes a day when that thoughtless response helps me relax..

"sen. First, get them out of the wagon.."

"aha. I'm so frustrated that I don't even have time to explain.."

Although he must have been aware of the seriousness of the situation, Fulling, who was called Sen, came out with a smile and a relaxed look, breaking down the door of the carriage with a harsh kick. It was a very cool sight that did not match his small body, but it was a little less cool because he was whimpering to get the companions who were still in the carriage..

Merdella, who crawled out with her help, opened his mouth without being able to control his embarrassment..

"Fuck, fuck. What the hell is going on?...?"

Carles didn't blame her. This is because it was not something that could have been expected in the first place. Instead, she took out the two daggers she wore at her waist and answered softly..

"Merdella. Fucked. An adventurer attacked."

"what...?"

"Suddenly...your name? Or an unidentified title? I don't know what it was, but I shouted anyway and suddenly smashed the horse's bone with my fist.."

"fuck."

Although his eyes were still spinning, Merdella was quick to judge the situation. Her enemies were getting closer, the adventurers were hostile, her carriage was smashed, so all she had to do was recite her attack spells.

"Where can a dog like that order?."

An unfamiliar voice and a sound like cutting through the air came together..

In Carls's opinion, it was an unremarkable action, as the adventurer drew his sword and cut the air once, but it was a sight that made Merdella's complexion pale..

"Yes, magic..."

The gist of Dispel magic is simpler than you might think. Temporarily blocking mana generated around you. There is only a difference in level depending on whether a similar method is solved in a more advanced and detailed way. As a result, there is a gap where no one can use magic while the dispel magic is activated, so the key is how much mana can be wasted by stopping the opponent's magic at the last minute..

However, no dispel magic can touch the mana that has been safely collected and cause it to go astray. At least as far as she knows.

Merdella felt fear in the unknown situation and moved her gaze in the direction from which the voice came..

"If you get an innocent person caught up, the law of the world is to hit them head first, but like uneducated bastards, you don't know the law.."

When I saw it with my magic eyes, a large man whom I had not recognized due to strong distortion was approaching with a drawn sword. Although it is clear from the circumstances that he destroyed the magic, Merdella's mind could not accept that fact..

Instead, I grabbed my wand again with trembling hands and tried to cast a spell..

"Do the damn thing."

A sword that cuts through the air once again. And the magic is destroyed again. Mer Della's trembling hands forced her to drop the staff she was holding..

Only then did Carls realize something strange and urgently asked:.

"what? What's going on Merdella??"

"Me, that man. It's interfering with casting.."

"......Fuck. What on earth did we mess with??"

Did I hit a dragon while trying to avoid a wyvern??

Rather than pointlessly questioning whether Merdella's answer made sense, Kals decided to trust her and adjusted his dagger, feeling his mouth go dry. He can kill a horse with his fists, can unilaterally block a spell before it is cast, and is a relaxed warrior who is full of thoughts of ripping off the heads of those who have tried to manipulate him even while 10 monsters are chasing him. Well done.

"I thought it would be safer for the kids in the carriage, so I left them there... Wow, look at how big he is. Is it going to be quarterling in front of that friend? Is that the person we messed with? I feel like I'm really screwed?"

There was no one who could stop Sen, who rushed up from behind to join them and took out a dagger. It was a chatty tone that the companions had already become accustomed to, but it was also a cursed snout that often offended the enemy for no reason, so Merdella, Kals, and the adventurer in heavy armor were very nervous..

"...pooling?"

That's why I couldn't help but be taken aback by the man's reaction, which changed from an expression that looked like he was about to kill someone to a strange expression. The only thing that didn't panic was the strength of the cursed snout..

"Hey. Even if I did, I touched a noble person with dignity. I didn't touch Carls because I sensed that he was a million times better than you and told me to fuck him.?"

"It doesn't sound like anything..."

"Pooling. Do you know shadow feet??"

Carls couldn't finish his sentence. This is because the man's face has once again returned to a state that could kill a person. Even in a completely different form from the bully-like attitude just a moment ago. That's what it means to stab a person to death with your eyes..

I just knew this was a hunch or something. I don't know what shadow feet are, but I should never say I know....

"Of course I know. I am proud of my maternal lineage! But judging by the look on your face, I don't think you'll ever hear about Shadow Paw's proud heroics and deeds from me. I don't think my tongue is as long as your height, so go for it.."

Cursed snout. Pooling of the cursed family society. Although it is impossible to curse their love for family, Carls thought it was cursed anyway..

Still, Sen was their colleague, and it was clear that that man was their enemy anyway, so Carls didn't necessarily blame her. Because she did not welcome Pulling as her colleague without knowing that he had anger management problems due to her family history. It's just sad that it's at this moment..

Amidst the waves of complex emotions, Carls quickly used his head to organize and understand the situation..

Because the carriage has already overturned and because they are confronting an unidentified man, the gunmen are approaching slowly and without any signs of haste once they have reached close range. At a glance, it seemed like they had a clear intention to figure out who the man was that created this confrontation, and to put it another way, it also proved that they were completely strangers..

At least. It's really a hopeless situation..

The man became angry and took hostile actions with the sole intention of getting himself involved. If enemies who don't know that attack only one way, the man's sword, which is like an explosive magic that can explode at any moment, might head in the opposite direction....

"After seeing the shadow feet, I help him for now. I'll hear your excuses later, so you'll have to act wisely.."

"Just talk about cancer... huh? what?"

Did I hear correctly? Sen looked around her, but no one could give her a clear answer. Because she was sharing her embarrassment..

"...He's just looking at me?"

However, the man turned as if it were natural, planted his long sword on the ground like a knight, and began to confront his pursuers while standing up straight..

"No, now, really? uh?"

Seeing that he wasn't worried at all that an attack might be coming at him from behind, he kept looking back at his companions who couldn't even show their astonished reactions and just kept talking about his nonsense. Meanwhile, one of the assailants who had arrived in front stepped forward, bowed his head politely and greeted the man..

"...I don't know who you are, but they are the only ones we have business with. Please make way for me?"

The attitude of the assailants, who were wary of the man who overturned the carriage because of a hole in his eye, was very polite..

First off, that's the worst reaction. This is in sharp contrast to those of us who pretended to be friendly and tried to get them involved in the incident. Carls frowned unconsciously..

But as soon as the man answered, my eyebrows straightened and my eyes widened..

"I also have business with that pulling lady, so I don't think that will be difficult. If we can end it through conversation, I would like to cooperate as much as possible to resolve the situation amicably.."

Is that really the man who was glaring and swearing with intent to kill just a moment ago? Not to mention the rest of the group, even Sen had his mouth wide open, but the gunman shook his head and responded calmly..

"Unfortunately, I don't think that will be possible. They are sinners who insulted the church. No compromise in the name of God."

"Um, those fucking pseudo-cult bastards, who says they are sinners at will?! That's the God who picked up the scattered human flesh and ate it like a dog.?!"

"...Especially if she's that cursed half-cut bitch.."

"hmm."

I couldn't tell what expression the man was making because he was turning, but his sword spun around and headed towards the sky. Then he slowly came down horizontally from above his head and aimed at the lead gunman..

"Those who do not wish to fight may at any time drop their weapons and dismount. This is advice because you recognize that you are a third party.."

"crazy. Am I in a storybook now??"

Sen's muttering still couldn't read the atmosphere, but no one said anything..

Even if one is wearing gauntlets, it is not unusual to shatter one's skull with a single blow. Needless to say, it was only simple superpowers, and even if aurors were used, it was clear that it would only be possible if they were used very skillfully..

However, in front of 10 horsemen, the man was wearing little more than a leather breastplate, so despite the majesty he showed earlier, distrust and doubt could not be seen in the eyes of Carls and others..

The opponents were warriors who, although they were cultists, were treated as elites in their religious order, different from the bandits that were spread all over the world. These warriors are so strong that Carls and his party didn't choose to run away for nothing..

"I appreciate your courage and will and will let you go without pain.."

The gunman spoke as he adjusted his weapon, but the man did not respond. He just flinched for a moment..

By the time I realized that the twitching was not due to tension but a preparatory movement for an attack, the body of the gunman who was in the lead had already been cut diagonally along with the horse he was riding..

While everyone was unable to come to their senses, the man's sword cut through the air, emitting a sharp blue light..
