Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 423

[423[Tuesday] A nightmare overflowing from the West

"charge!"

Five knights wearing auras, holding jousting lances in the air, charged in. Every time you take a step, the ground digs, and the moment you take three steps, the knights' charge, which has already reached maximum acceleration, has a destructive power that cannot be compared to that of a cavalry soldier..

No matter how confident you are in your skills, it is right to avoid situations where you simultaneously respond to such prepared attacks. The knights who had been dealing with demons for years and working together were experts at combining their skills to exceed that level. It was not easy to find a gap in an attack that was attempted in sync with each other..

But even though he was aware of their approach, Iraf could not make a decision easily..

There was one reason. As soon as she put her conclusion into her mouth, she was so shocked by Eldmia's reaction..

Unless you understand the context in that brief moment and are acting to embarrass yourself, it is real. After making that decision, one question dominated Iraph’s mind..

Does command know about this??

'There's no way to know right now, but probably not..'

The details of the operation carried out several years ago were top secret even within the Demon King's army, so Iraf was not fully aware of it either..

He has now risen to the position of division commander, but at the time he was only a centurion commander. Although he was a successful soldier, he was far from a classified unit or operation. Even the fact that such an operation existed was something I picked up by chance a long time after becoming a division commander, so looking back on the circumstances, only a very small number of people within the Demon King's army would be aware of it..

All that is known is that there was an operation to retrieve relics from the Demon God's temple located in what used to be Demon territory. However, even those were just rumors, so it was all unclear as to what was recovered, what the process was, and how it could be moved in secret..

Only one. Except that the human village was destroyed..

"...I guess you have to die here.."

In order for no one to know what the Demon King's army was aiming for, a small nearby village had to be erased from the map..

Only that much was known, but it was enough to make Iraph make a decision..

"There are no personal feelings. A soldier must follow orders, right?."

The original purpose of the extermination was to maintain confidentiality, but the fact that the survivors were still alive is a serious problem..

If a clue to the operation is discovered due to an attempt to save them, what happens to the non-soldier humans who had to be exterminated for the sake of secrets and to those who had to endure with loyalty the guilt of massacring them?.

Even if it was deception and self-satisfaction, as someone who played a part in the Demon King's army, cutting off Eldmia's lifeline here was the only courtesy he could show to the already dead people of the enemy country..

Even though he did not participate in the operation, he was responsible for leading this long war..

"For the devil's army and those who have already died... die here.."

Throw the broken javelin with all your might towards the knights. This alone was not enough to stop those who rushed forward with desperate will, but it was able to create a very slight disruption. Some people avoided it by a very narrow margin, and some people cleverly used their armor to block it, but for Iraph, it was enough of a gap..

Iraf's hands and feet whipped around like a storm, destroying the knights' armor by slamming his legs down on the floor to create cracks and confusion, then rushing forward and slightly pushing the lance of the person in front to the side to create an opening..

-Quad deuk!

Each blow was an attack that could have resulted in death, but the knights' armor was strong enough to give their masters a brief reprieve, and as soon as the knights realized that they could not handle it, they were able to avoid death by flying away and mitigating the impact as much as possible..

In return, the two lances were safely placed in Irraf's hands, but the knights believed in Eldmia, who had made herself known through miraculous feats..

When it comes to his skills, even this brief moment is definitely a ‘gap’..

"I fell asleep saying something like a fucking side kick. What the fuck."

And Eldmia did not betray their faith..

"It will be you who die for those who died.!"

Needles and cut javelins were flying towards Iraph from all directions, with Eldmia charging at a speed that could have been the speed of the charging ship that the knights had just shown..

◈

People cannot be awakened by anger.

Well... he may be able to display superhuman strength momentarily, but if he was someone who could be killed with just one use, he would have already cut off his limbs and been interrogated. If I had been able to awaken through anger, I would have awakened a hundred times more and become a god, and this can be said to be scientifically proven..

The only things that can make a person strong are repetition, application, and talent. The bullshit caused by anger becomes an obstacle to rational thinking and only increases the chance of death..

But there are times when humans get upset even if they know that fact rationally..

For example, when the perpetrator told me to die in the name of saving my parents and other people in the neighborhood who suddenly and unfairly died..

"Eat and drink, you bastard.!"

I don't know anything else, but I can't stand it. It's an insult. Because there is so much to find out, it is insulting to the point where the phrase "kill even if you can't kill" pops out..

The attack did not stop at throwing needles and javelins, but accelerated the attack by detonating magical energy in the tail, similar to the method used when throwing the sword at Envelde. If the horn of a buffalo that a knight faced without even looking at it makes him have to turn his eyes to understand it and swing his weapon, then it can be said that he played the role of bait properly..

Now all that's left to do is trust the conversation from the meeting with the spirit after dealing with the orcs and overdo it..

As soon as I became aware of that, the magic power began to run wild inside the magic engine..

Is it because it has become a little more solidly established in the meantime? Even though it feels like I'm using almost as much horsepower as opening the gas tank and pouring in oil, the resistance I feel is just like being administered antibiotics to my blood vessels..

It's a similar sensation to when I split Siegfried's great sword at the Academy, but perhaps because of the amount of magic used, even my muscles and skin are tingling..

Unlike the relatively slight resistance, my movements and the sword I swung were sharper than ever..

"Inhale!"

The buffalo horn quickly crossed the two lances as if using a javelin to block my attack, but it was a futile move. I cut off the Majanggeum, so why can’t I cut off the weapons of the human race??

However, since he had already experienced this once, he must have been expecting this, and rather than aiming to block my attack, he attempted a very crazy counterattack by using the cut section of the weapon at the moment the weapon cut into me and pushing the sword away..

-Tuong!

If it were a game, it would be like trying to parry by timing commas. He has counterattacking skills that are unbelievable even with the naked eye, and if he grows to the same level as that guy, the feeling that something like this is possible, and the feeling that it is shit pass through my mind at the same time..

And faster than that sentiment, the reflexively swung foot flew towards the guy's solar plexus..

-bang!

"Big!"

"fuck!"

The armor was made of magic magic and the boots had iron plates, but it hurt to the point where I thought my toe bones were broken. Fortunately, the guy couldn't react properly to this surprise attack and flinched a lot, so it was a shame, and it almost left an opening for me to attack..

Yes, this is how we exchange and show each other every now and then. Isn’t that humanity and affection?.

"Long live the damn Eunsuri!"

With my team.

Ranje, who ran with the agility of a real squirrel despite wearing a huge iron club and armor, shouted and swung his weapon, aiming for the horned head of a buffalo. Although it is common sense to keep your mouth shut during a surprise attack, the reason for acting like that was simple. Since you are not sure that your attack will work, aim for a joint attack by exploiting his gap..

The problem was that while Lanje and I were the only ones holding the buffalo horns, he had enough skills to keep both of us in check at the same time..

Without even having time to be thankful that the only thing in his hand was a lance, the attack was unleashed on both sides..

Of course, my sword, which I swung in preparation for Ranje's attack not working, cut off the guy's spear again and was parried, and Ranje's iron club smashed the spear he was holding into powder, almost crushing his hand. The direction is forcibly changed when there is.

It didn't end there, he turned his body like lightning and threw a back kick at me, and threw the spear that was still cut at me like a dagger at Ranje, so we had no choice but to naturally widen the distance between us..

Isn't this bastard at a level where it can be called the union of God and Mother? It is clear that it is not just the javelin that is bad, but the single spear technique itself is advanced..

I had no idea what he might do if I kept my distance like this, so I was about to cling to him again..

-Bubble bung!

"Wow?!"

After throwing the weapon at Ranje and throwing a kick at me, three arrows made of flame hit the man's breastplate, which was opened at the same time, causing an explosion..

It was so threatening that even I had to flinch slightly, so I turned my head to see who had taken such perfect timing and helped me with the surprise attack. I saw a spear and shield aimed at the horns of a buffalo, twirling what looked like a dozen flaming arrows far above my head. I saw Ragnis.

"join in!"

Honestly, the sight of her setting up a circular shield with a laurel and shield pattern engraved on it and swinging her sword to use magic was honestly cooler than ever..
