Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 52

Eldmia Ega.

Among the adventurers in the capital, he is now a man whom no one knows..

He started out with all kinds of ugly nicknames, such as mad dog, madman, human hunter, etc., but soon he began to go by other nicknames among talented people..

Among them, two tinnitus remain after being filtered out. Light sword and counterattack.

The former was a nickname that came about because, as everyone who saw it said in unison, an accelerated slash was swung every time the sword shined, and the latter was a nickname that arose because anyone who touched him in any way was sure to get hit..

It was a natural thing to say, but if you live a normal adventurer's life, you will never see anything worthy of the name of a counterattack. Therefore, Eldmia Egar was commonly known by the nickname Lightsword..

However, in an extremely brief moment, the party was able to clearly see why he had once been given the nickname human hunter..

"What are you doing making a bonfire in the middle of the street, friends??"

After reducing the distance to some extent, Eldmia naturally got off the horse and approached the men with a smile. They were momentarily taken aback by the lack of vigilance, but then burst into laughter and began to surround Eldmia. Nevertheless, Eldmia's back looked very relaxed..

Soon, when the completely off-guard bandits surrounded him and were about to draw their weapons, Eldmia made his move..

'auror...?'

Ekatrina only wielded a heavy war hammer with her naturally gifted body, but she had not yet awakened her Auror skills. However, her natural ability affected not only her body but also her senses, and although she could not use Aura herself yet, she was able to accurately grasp the heterogeneous energy created by the flow of mana and Aura..

Because of that, he was able to notice that Eldmia was using something completely different from the aurors he had seen and felt so far. The power wielded with a heavier, heavier, unknown feeling was similar to that of an auror at first glance. She thought that perhaps an Auror who had reached a level she did not know about might feel that way, but the fact that it was a feeling she had never felt before remained unchanged..

As soon as she felt that, it took less than 20 seconds for Eldmia to snatch the thieves' weapons without even drawing her sword, stabbing three to death and fatally wounding four..

"That's amazing skill.."

Even Gaendal could not help but be impressed by the sight. His eyes, who must have fought the most diverse battles among the group, were also full of surprise..

He snatches the sword, cuts, stabs, and throws it in a neat motion, as if he had originally planned to do so, while snatching the weapon from another thief and repeating the same thing. There was not even the slightest hesitation in that series of processes. Rather, his bold and uninhibited actions make the thieves hesitate and panic, creating new loopholes..

While the three of them who were still okay were unable to even scream and hesitated to run away, Eldmia, holding the two axes she had taken from the dead thieves, lightly threw them once to gauge their weight, and then threw one at each of those running away, killing the remaining one. ran into.

The group applauded heartily as they watched the two axes precisely splitting the backs of the two men's heads and Eldmia grabbing the remaining man from behind, pulling out the dagger from his waist and stabbing it into the man's spine..

◈

Honestly, there was only one thing on my mind when they surrounded me..

Equilibrium.

The sight of John Preston jumping between six people and shooting them while fighting to save a puppy remains one of the many famous scenes engraved in my memory. I never thought I would be able to do that with a cold weapon rather than a gun..

In any case, the gap created by the magically strengthened body and the unwary thieves created a more perfect surprise attack than I expected. I also had the intention of checking to see if the scar on my palm that occurred when I met Ragnis was bothersome, but it ended neatly without any inconvenience. Since decapitating Delt, my view on combat that surprise always gives an advantage has become stronger day by day..

"That's amazing! It's like seeing a skilled mercenary! Even if I surround myself with auras, I wouldn't be able to see that movement.!"

Although I was overshadowed by Gin's loud shouts and applause, the other party members also applauded as if they were satisfied with my skills. In fact, it's embarrassing compared to the guys you'll have to fight from now on, but with this, you won't have much trouble asserting your opinions according to the situation rather than being dragged along when the battle starts..

"I think the same thing. Even though the aura I feel is minimal, I'm really good at handling it. It's only a matter of time before you reach self-sufficiency.."

Since I couldn't say that it was because it was magical power and not an auror, I shook my hands and smiled in response to Gaendal's compliment..

"It's embarrassing to hear something like that from thieves. Still, it's not bad because I can prove that it's not a piece of luggage.."

"Speaking of luggage, I actually feel like you might be the best fit for this request? Even though I am officially the leader, I wonder if it would be better to change it.."

Unless Engrim drew Gaendal by flipping a coin, there is absolutely no reason to doubt his abilities..

"Commanding and fighting are two different things. I'm only good at fighting."

The reason I was able to do this in the first place was because I trained all my life to kill a single demon, not because I was good..

This is the result of a life that relies on memories from a past life and devotes time to battle, even if it should have been devoted to common sense and education. If I didn't have memories of my past life, I would have spent so much time concentrated that I would have become a murder weapon, unable to live my daily life, so this is normal..

Of course, since Jindu's command was not included in it, we decided to draw a clear line before the expectations turned into poison. As soon as she got on her horse and responded appropriately, the words Katrina said, coming up next to her, were quite surprising..

"If you have time later, why don't we spar at the guild parade ground? I'm interested because the aura you just used seems a bit unusual.."

So far, she is the first person who has seen me use Aurors and said I was unusual. Others don't even feel it or just think of it as a weak auror.?

"It's unusual?"

"uh. Doesn’t the person in question know? Should I say it's something heavy? It's definitely different from the auras I've felt so far. Even though I can't use Aurors, the feeling I get is amazing.?"

"yes? He wields something like that even without using his aura.?"

No joke, Catherine's war hammer is not a normal size. There is no other way to express it, so I call it a war hammer, and it boasts the size of an anvil attached to a hammer head. Maybe there are people who believe it's a battering ram??

He even wields a weapon made entirely of iron from head to toe, without any wooden components to withstand its weight, to the point where he can fight using only pure strength.?

"Swing only with your strength! I'm proud of myself!"

"Isn’t there too much to boast about? I don't think I can wield that thing unless I use it as an Auror.."

"ha ha ha! Nice to hear you say that! Anyway, let's spar.!"

No, I meant it, but you took it as an empty compliment..

Still, there was no reason to stop and argue with someone who was happily leaving, so we just grabbed some money from the thieves' corpses and ran away again..

After that, except for one break in the middle for the horses, we ran without stopping and only after reaching the forest near our destination were we able to take a proper rest..

"I feel like my pelvis is shattering..."

Catherine smiled and held Lelye, who was unable to get off the horse properly, making a groaning sound, as she was unable to do the most physical activities..

"Well, it was a bit difficult for me too. I shouldn't have told you to take a break in the middle.?"

"Because in this case, it is better to rest for sure than to rest half-heartedly. I don't like it when plans are disrupted because of me.."

The number of times I have met wizards in this world can be counted on one hand, but it seems like everyone I meet is truly a person of character..

We decided to set up camp while Gaendal, who had a lot of scouting experience, scouted the surrounding area alone. We decided to leave Lellier to rest for a bit and then divide the work among ourselves..

At any rate, the only things to do right now were finding firewood, setting up a tent, and preparing a meal, so the division of labor itself ended quickly. Even so, if it were normal, we would have camped without a tent and only with sleeping bags, but one more problem arose because the guild, which had completed an investigation into the safe zone where we were located, personally provided us with a tent..

With Catherine and Gin tilting their heads as if they were not used to pitching a tent, I confidently decided to go ahead and prepare the tent. After completing the setup with Lellie's help, I was able to put down the hammer with satisfaction..

"and. This is how the tent is pitched.."

The reason why I was able to go out confidently even though I had never camped in my past life or in my current life was simple. What the guild gave me was a type A tent that I had seen so many times in the military.!

When I first saw this dog-like form, I felt dizzy, as if I had enlisted again, but fortunately, it was so good that it felt sinful to even compare it to that of the military. The stand did not end with two poles, but was a prefabricated U-shaped stand, so there was no need to worry about the stand falling down every time you hammered just by Lellier holding it roughly..

Above all, the material of the tent was clearly waterproof and water-proof. Sure enough, Lellie noticed this as soon as she saw it and analyzed it, revealing that it was a magic item..

"I don't know what kind of demon beast it was made from, but if it's this level of perfection, it must be the latest among the library's inventions.?"

Even if it is a temporary loan, Engrim provides solid support. After finishing it all, I decided to buy one when I go on a trip with Asilier..

We quickly completed the men's and women's tents, laid down blankets inside, put our luggage in, and went in for a moment. I felt a true sense of comfort that I could not feel in the military even as much as a grain of rice..

"This blanket is also enchanted.?'

"No, it's just a blanket.."

As expected, even the blankets in the military were assholes. He must have been mistaken in remembering that the only time he received a new blanket was a stark difference compared to the old one..
