The furious Verhan raises the Battle Axe to the sky and drops it vertically toward my head.

Boom, boom!

I flew three Earth Hands to stop it. The Earth Hand, however, is torn to pieces without being able to withstand the power of the error.

The aura of error did not die, but it fell like I was about to crack my head.

“Hehe! Damn it! ”

I held up my left arm reflexively while rushing.

I'm out!

“Shhh!”

I scream with the pain of a broken arm. Your left arm is strangely broken due to a broken bone.

Luckily, my arm wasn't cut off, thanks to my red misrell coat. Misrills were sturdy enough to withstand errors.

Berhan was surprised when I stopped Battle Axe from coming to his forearm.

“Misril? Oh, you're wearing something nice! ”

“I'm precious! ”

This stubborn merchant spirit. Even though it hurts like hell, I'm not defeated by fighting.

“Kuhaha! Really? Then die, dear brother! ”

Grrr!

Berhan kicked me in the stomach. With suffocating pain, I fell under the wagon.

But I was close enough to grasp the cord of my mind.

Noum!

I was choked and unable to speak. But I commanded Noam in my heart.

-Dad!

Norm grabs me by the hand of Earth and puts me back on the wagon.

“Oh, that's persistent. You've got some nerve! ”

“Thank you. I'll need something in return.”

I sighed and persistently rebuked him.

I used the gnome to create an Earth Hand and send it straight to Berhan's face.

“So corny!”

Berhan slashes Earth's hand with his Battle Axe. But then Earth's hand exploded.

Puang!

The soil is all pointed toward Verhan's face. It was a prank that Norm had received my intentions.

“Ugh! You coward! ”

Berhan rubs his eyes with dirt and is in agony.

“You're playing. ”

I grabbed his ankle with another Earth hand. Berhan falls down unbalanced and tumbles out of the wagon.

“Khh! Not a chance! ”

In the meantime, that gorilla reaches out and grabs the corner of the wagon.

“Son of a bitch! ”

“Here we are! ”

“You must have screwed us! I'll kill you!”

Gorilla's men follow you and start hanging on to the wagon one by one. They were really leeches.

But we have an angry kid on our side.

“Salamander! Give me an example. ”

You're hurting me! I'll burn them all!

A severely angry salamander is struck by the Ice Arrow and fires at his men hanging from the wagon.

“Khhh!”

“Hot!”

“My hand! ”

How frightening is the gratitude of the Conceptual Bastard's son.

Like the flies, the men hanging from the wagon fall into flames. But those flies weren't just shovels.

A relentless, furry gorilla crawled up through the cracks.

“I'll kill you! ”

I sent Earth Hand as soon as I came upon Berhan, charging like an animal. Every time the Battle Axe swings, Earth's hand breaks and the dirt blows everywhere.

“Die! ”

Verhan wields the Battle Axe in a frenzied roar. I was punched in the left side just like that.

Woohoo! Wood Duck!

“Ugh…! ”

It looks like the ribs on the left are all crushed. I couldn't breathe in terrible pain. I almost let go of the rope of self-interest.

Is that how it feels to die in a fight?

If it weren't for the red Misrill coat, you'd almost have two bodies. I was thankful for the moment that Emperor Kars gave me this coat. Thank you, Mr. Psycho.

“Shit! His coat! I'm gonna peel it off! ”

I'm annoyed that Berhan is sick of it.

“Ugh. There's somewhere to sell... Ugh... ”

I have to say something even if I can't breathe because of the pain.

Berhan grabs the Battle Axe by the hand.

“It's over. ”

- Fuck you, asshole!

- Idiot!

Norm fires his hand at Earth and Woundee shoots at the water sphere. However, Berhan continues to swing and block the Battle Axe. I thought you were supposed to be in Expert Intermediate, but apparently, you've got enough finesse.

But at that moment,

“Tsk!”

Patrick, who is supposed to be driving the wagon in the carriage seat, suddenly climbs up to the top and ambushes you.

Berhan, who stopped the spirits from attacking, was unable to find a flying trick that lowered his posture.

Phew!

A Bastard sword lodged deep in your right thigh.

“Khhh! You little bastard! ”

After an angry verhan tries to swing the Battle Axe, Patrick hurries back.

The Future Mercenary King Condolence Sharp Raid!

I told Patrick the hard way.

“Hold it... tight...! ”

“Yes?! ”

Patrick tilts his head in surprise for my warning.

“Noum, Earth Wall……. ”

That was enough. Norm knew what I was thinking. I felt a huge spiritual affinity escaping.

Eat this!

A wall of soil rises from the ground, blocking the left wheel of the wagon.

Kuaang!

The wagon is shaken by a heavy shock.

The whole wagon was blown up in the air because it was a fast car.

“Huff!”

Patrick grips the wagon tightly, thinking about it.

Soon, the wagon flipped in mid-air.

Noum!

I couldn't even shout anymore, so I shouted in my heart.

Norm stepped out of the Earth's Hand and freed Patrick.

“Khhh!”

Berhan hurls his leg to the ground with the wagon turned upside down.

But I wasn't normal either. The left arm and the left rib are all broken and each breath seems to pierce your chest with a knife. In that pain, I commanded the spirits with my heart.

Kill all living enemies.

Keep attacking until my spiritual affinity runs out!

- Okay, Dad!

- Yeah!

- Hehe! Burn it all!

The gnomes fire their traps and Earth spheres at the fallen Verhan, and the undead continue to make water spheres. The Salamander flew mad and burned a member of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Army to death.

“Aah!”

“Help me!”

“Spirits are going crazy! ”

A frenzied fight.

I looked up at the sky and lay down.

Spirit-affinity leaks out. A headache and dizziness occurred as the spiritual affinity was consumed. I feel a rush of heartache and the pain of my whole body being crushed.

By the time I had almost run out of spiritual affinity, I had left the rope of consciousness on.

Is she dead?

I shouldn't be alive.

Anyway... I have to leave the rest to Patrick.

* * *

Patrick stands up with the Bastard Sword as the frenzy of the spirits subsides.

“Baron?"

Caroc lies unconscious. He must have squeezed the remaining strength to carry out the attack.

Patrick looks around to see if he's ever been alive.

You see someone writhing near the wagon.

Verhan!

The leader of the monstrous Blue Wolf mercenaries was still alive.

Patrick runs toward you.

“Ugh... Those bastards! ”

Berhan's grit is ragged.

When the wagon flipped over and crashed, it became a ruin because it was attacked by spirits. It was a miracle I could barely get out of Norm's grave alive.

“You're still alive! ”

Patrick fixes the Bastard Sword.

“You little...! ”

“Here we go!”

Patrick lunges at you quickly. Berhan staggers and swings the Battle Axe.

Ka 'ang!

“Hehe!”

Indeed, Mr. Expert. The moment it collides with Battle Axe, the hand holding Bastard Sword appears paralyzed. Luckily, the opposing Pokémon is able to withstand the error.

‘The opponent is tired. This is the best time! ’

Patrick continues to swing his sword from side to side, spreading his attack. I quickly stepped back and forth, raising the tempo. It was a plan to compress Berhan's exhausted strength.

The operation worked.

Berhan is exhausted.

“You rat! ”

Berhan runs out of patience, tempted to finish him off in one shot.

But at that moment, Patrick notices the aura and pulls back.

“This guy……! ”

It was Berhan who was depleted of stamina due to the use of error.

Got it!

Patrick lunges at you. Battle Axe is swinging his neck, but he's not as energetic as before.

Patrick lowers his stance to avoid it.

Phew!

Bastard Sword pierces Berhan's abdomen.

“Woof!”

In shock, Berhan stumbles, missing the Battle Axe. He looks at Patrick as if he can't believe it.

“Just a little... baby... ”

Qajik!

Patrick slits Verhan's throat. The infamous Blue Wolf mercenary commander was a worthless end.

Once the fight is over, Patrick rushes to Caroc.

“Baron!"

Caroc, who was confused, was unresponsive no matter what he called him. Patrick splints at Caroc's left arm, broken from branches and cloth.

‘We must go to Kunt Castle and heal her! ’

In a hurry, Patrick carries Carroc on his back.
