It was a tremendous intimidation that just seemed to erase my existence. [M]
Light shines all over my sight, and a golden blade with a sleek arc swings down my skull. If this had been the first, I might have made a terrifying mistake.
But it wasn't the first time I was in a crisis of absolute desperation. Therefore, without any resistance, I held Tino firmly in my arms and arbitrarily activated the second junction finger (Safe Ring).
I'm not proud of it, but I was confident that no one had beaten me just to treat my junction finger (Safe Ring). In other words, no one in this age of mighty hunters would have abused this means of evasion for emergencies as badly as I did.
In my previous experience, from around level 3 hunters, I can't handle the attack at all. If the opponent is after me only on a one-on-one basis, whether he flies sideways or backwards or moves forward, I can't avoid that attack, and it's another dream of a counterattack.
So I take the attack as it is. Activate the junction finger at a time that is lost.
The blade, the electric shock, plays hard at the junction where my body was drained. Apparently, Arnold's fighting methods are the type that fights with the weight of a single blow, not the trick, but I still have no idea how many times the blade was swung down in a second.
That's fine. That's what hunters are for. But no matter how many shots are fired, the blade won't hurt me knowing all about the performance of the junction finger.
Eventually, the attack, waved down in anger, stopped and Arnold took a step further. Unlike before, the eyes narrowed like its sharpened blade see strong vigilance, not just anger.
The ground - there was a giant hole behind me. Probably due to the aftermath of Arnold's attack. Releasing Tino, who was shrinking in his arms, Tino took a step back without alarm as he blued.
I'm finally going to put it in the 'negotiations'. Thanks to the presence of Liz and Citries nearby, I can be stronger than usual.
I don't know why Arnold is so angry. I'm sure it's the usual mistake.
"Are you ready?
"... why... stand, can you stay? Ariem."
I trust my fingers. [M]
It is commonly believed that the "Safe Ring" is an automatic and invincible treasure that binds a deadly attack, but that is only slightly different.
The "junction finger" has several functions. And you can only use it to extend my survival a little bit.
One of them is "Arbitrary Activation", which activates the junction finger of its own volition, which is inherently automatic. This activation method can only slightly change the breadth of the junction that is normally out of control.
And in my case, if it's against an attack that's swung down from the front, oh, if it starts at the moment you think it sucks, it's more or less just the right junction (and, by the way, in case you don't make it, the other junction fingers start automatically).
I accidentally brag about it.
Arnold looks scared, but I've been attacked by people who look scared before. It's not something you can be proud of, but a normal person like me has survived hell, so you can take a little pride in it.
"Mr. Arnold, calm down. This... is a difference in experience. I've been attacked before, but no one's ever hurt me before."
"Huh!"
Arnold's giant disappears with the sound of something disappearing small. Before I could grasp the situation, a loud noise sounded from the back of my head.
"Mastard!?
Tino screams.
One junction finger, automatic start. Apparently, he sensed he couldn't break through from the front and switched to an attack from the blind spot. It's incredible speed from its height.
But it's no use. It's no use. Arnold doesn't seem to understand, but what he's fighting for is not me trying to break through.
What he's trying to break through is - the history of the "Safe Ring"!
It is the history of the "Safe Ring", now considered one of the strongest of all defenses, East and West!
I am tiny, but I am equipped with seventeen "Safe Rings" that are traded at a price that pops out my eyes.
Bad times, Arnold cut off my back in a row without stopping the attack.
"Yes, eh!
"Calm down. It's time to stop."
I'll die, I will.
The remaining number of "Safe Rings" replenished by the clan members was scratched.
The junction finger maintains strength with activation time and trade-off. In other words, seventeen shots can be prevented for sure, but not a single blow after that.
A normal warrior would find a thread to fight back from there if he could prevent a blow, but all I can do is prevent it.
I looked back and shook my right arm wide to buy some time. A golden blade with the force of his right arm and all over his body hits and stops.
The junction finger junction does not pass through more than a certain amount of impact, light, or sound. So if you count them, even I can temporarily antagonize a hero.
I'm not even wearing my armor. It's obviously unnatural that my slender arm is antagonizing with a giant blade. Arnold's eyes open in amazement.
Then the blade, which was rarely shaken down, stops. This is your chance to persuade me. Arnold is trying to kill me, but I have no will.
I pretended to be calm and laughed. It was a vacation because of me, but I think I'm gonna throw up.
"I'm sorry, but you're not going to fight me. I don't like fights originally. It's pointless to do that."
I'm gonna die. I'm strong, so fight with the strong guy. For the most part, I would have been dead if the first ambush and other attacks had been decent.
This is why I'm afraid of hunters who don't know how to add or subtract. The opponent thinks we're level eight, so we're going to do our best.
"By and large, what are you doing here? It's no coincidence, is it? I'm on vacation..."
"Huh...!
Arnold glanced at me with the look of a shooter when he asked me what I thought was best.
Are you aiming even in the gap, keeping your sword in place, lowering your posture and breathing roughly. You don't have to aim for a gap. I'm always full of gaps.
But it feels good to be glued. My only weapon is my tongue.
"If Liz made fun of you, I apologize for that. I'm sorry."
…………
Say something. Why don't we just go down to the dungeon?
But even if he was suddenly raided, there's more to it than I want to say. It wasn't weird that he was dead. Especially for Tino, who doesn't have a junction finger, he could have been seriously injured.
I pulled Tino next door to refrain, stroking his head. There doesn't seem to be any damage as we have properly extended the range of the junction fingers in time. Good. Good.
Turn the pepper and tongue as you rotate your head.
"But honestly, I don't know... I'm not that interested in you guys - oh, I'm sorry. None now!
The moment I said it, I thought it was gone.
I couldn't help but notice the truth. 'Cause Liz made fun of me. It's a little tea-eye, and it's not uncommon for a hunter. Therefore, there is no justification in me for them to come after me. [M]
But if you're convinced by that explanation alone, you won't be chasing me all the way to Mountain Back in the first place.
I hurriedly retract but it seemed too late. Arnold's eyes opened wide for a moment, distorting like a demon if he understood what was said. I was totally oiling the fire.
"Ki, sama, over this period - huh!?
Liz kicked the side of it into an ambush. Arnold raises the blade almost like a reflection, but slips it through like magic and hits his jaw hard. The giant blows big, but gets in shape along the way.
Liz was completely clean. You got the aftermath of a lightning strike, a puffy black smoke rises from that costume, but you can't see anything like damage from that stand-up. My shelter for Tino, not Liz, was not a priority for Tino, but rather an extremely legitimate decision to say that Liz would be okay to take damage.
Liz was no less of a ghostly figure than Arnold.
"Are we done? Damn, here, here. It's worse than garbage scum. It's there, Liz. Get out of my way."
Apparently, it was the seizures that got in the way of Ahn. I'm totally losing my vocabulary.
In a chimpy tone, Liz jumps at Arnold. Being a bandit but flying to a swordsman with a higher level of certification than myself was too wary.
Against the kick of divine speed, Arnold stood up to the Great Sword by successfully wrapping it around.
Liz kicks without hesitation against the blade wrapped in electric shock. Definitely the electric shock should be through, but its speed will not drop fine dust either.
"This! Nice place! The horse kicked me, and I'm not dying! Death and redemption!
"Huh!!
Arnold was on the defensive side to Liz jumping at me with cursing rumors.
Liz's attack, which specializes in speed, becomes an unknown world for a general swordsman. Still enduring without being attacked defenselessly could also be described as proof that Arnold is an exceptional swordsman.
Tino suddenly sees the sight. It was a battle of heroes in heaven.
Liz's movement, which was sending out a flowing streak, accelerates for a moment. He circles back and forth under the sword he was raising to prevent war, and a blow enters the back of his knee.
Her legs are swept wide through the back of Arnold's head as she disfigured. At that moment - Arnold's flesh glowed.
"Thunder." Sparks scatter and light burns Liz. Flying through the universe like it was bounced, Liz turned about two times and landed on the ground with both legs.
Arnold stands up slowly, staring at Liz as she breathes roughly.
Is that Arnold's "trump card"? Did you thunder your body out of your sword?
Is it because you are resistant or because of another surgical logic that you are flat with lightning?
"Around the corner, depressing, little girl -"
"Thunder has just increased my resistance during this time."
Liz says with her carnivorous eyes. But I was totally unexpected.
Because I thought Arnold and Liz were stronger.
That's level 7, so I knew it wasn't weak, but it's unexpected that I can't compete due to an ambush.
I said granny, thinking maybe praise would make me feel better. [M]
"You know, Liz and I, Mr. Arnold, we're strong."
"Huh..."
"Could that sword be made of thunder dragon material? Bones, I guess? What a shame... I should have made it too. I had no idea. Damn, that's a big deal, yeah."
A voice came from behind me, upset but still trying to lift it up. I was preparing a carriage, Citrie.
Apparently, he was anticipating the timing. Say it in a calm voice.
"You took soup stock and threw it away, didn't you? 'Cause I'm in the way."
"Ah... uh... is that right?..................... Oh, was it delicious?
"Chicken tastes better..."
"Oh, haha... you don't remember at all... see, I, because I'm forgetful. But you can't make swords with chicken bones, and in a way, you're sharing roles -"
"There's nothing I can't make... but I made it during this time."
I don't know what I'm talking about myself, and Citrine gives me a deviant response.
Shit. Arnold builds his blues and he still looks like he's going to jump at me. Without Liz, they would definitely have attacked me. It's completely behind my back.
So Citrie turned her hand from her back and whispered in her ear.
"Run away? I'm ready."
That's right, Citrine, you know me very well. I'll run, of course I'll run. In the first place, it wouldn't have suited me like this if I had escaped the moment I saw thunder on my mountain skin.
The problem is that Arnold's legs are faster than a dozen eighty-nine carriages. Running away won't work unless you do something about him.
"Uh, Mr. Arnold. Actually, I'm busy..."
"Huh... with a woman, dairy, busy," he said?
Misunderstood. But yeah... if you think calmly, maybe it also makes sense that Arnold came because he could have taken that situation off. No, I don't.
I want to get away from Arnold, but I have to do something about Arnold to do that. It was a blockade.
Liz's and Arnold's flirting continued. The endurance of a high level swordsman is ridiculous. I trust Liz's strength, but I didn't know which was the advantage.
At that time, I raise my voice as Tino beside me had decided to.
"I will... I will fight too!
"Huh...?
It is the most unlikely option. No matter how good Tino is, I don't think he can fight Liz and his mutual Arnold opponents well.
But when Tino strained his chest, he looked at me with straight, pure eyes.
"You can't stay, not just be protected. Now I know - but it was for this time that you imposed special training on me to be struck by lightning!
"Huh..."
"Huh!?
I did that special training section, not me in the first place...
Arnold looks at me with the same look he sees in the monster. No, because you're not. Because it's not me.
"Even me, if it's two to one with your sister - if it's about a gap - I'm sure."
Why does a hunter really want to die?
It's not training this time, if you take a decent shot at that giant sword, Tino's body is two things. I've actually seen Luke turn people into two. [M] It's a possible story.
Well, that's right, the sword may be fine because Liz will tow it, but the next problem is the thunder that's entangled. No matter how much resistance I tell you, I don't think you'll be safe in that bath. Unlike a sword, thunder is hard to avoid. Even though there's no anthem at the party right now, it's reckless.
But no one seemed to agree with me. Neither Citrie nor Liz have any signs of stopping Tino. They were women who plunged their children into the valley of Chihiro.
And I remembered a good thing there. [M] Explore the nostalgia and retrieve the nudged. Tino's complexion changes. Arnold's complexion also changes.
I'm glad I brought it just in case. Rounded it stretches it out a lot.
"The Evolving Side (Over Grid)", which was forced into my pocket, said in a fed up voice.
"I had a terrible eye - my turn...?
"I will, huh? It's..."
The Evolving Side (Over Grid) is a treasure that unleashes the potential of the victim.
In fact, the last time Tino wore it, he did enough to devour the pair of Liz and Citrie against him. I honestly wasn't sure if I'd bring it, but I brought it because it's definitely a powerful treasure.
Anyway, if it's just Tino, then Tino must also be able to fight Arnold opponents.
