Chapter 22 The Dead Knight
When the flame of resentment reaches the chest of the body, it slips into your chest.
A body that suddenly twitches and convulses.
"Ahhh... ahh..."
Short sounds come out of your throat and slowly start waking up.
"Do you know my magic...?
The Knights of Death seem surprised to have said it was a flame of resentment before I unleashed my magic, but we must hurry up our countermeasures now.
Etha!
"Leave it to me!"
I will draw a magical formation. In the meantime, Etha will protect me.
"... you... that magic!
When the finished magical formation glows black, a pale flame flies into another body and enters the body in the same way.
Bobby! Bobby!
A pale flame pops out from holes in your eyes, mouth, nose, etc., making a noise.
The flesh of the body evaporates and even the bones burn out.
"Nuuuuuuuuuu!
The sounds of disgusting sounds make me a wooden spirit.
It wasn't zombies or skeletons, it was lace. Translucent body and sword. Apparently it will be random and various undead.
"My...... defile my faith!!
When I thought the resulting Reis had slaughtered the zombies and headed for the Knight of Death, I was immediately wiped out. It seems to be able to use even the sword of resentment.
"What?!
"Ahhhhhh! Dirty... dirty... dirty!
The Death Knight scratches his body like crazy and speaks up.
"Death Knight?!
"Uhhhhhhhh!
Bush!
The neck of an approaching squad member flew.
"Hmm... what? What's the matter...?
"I don't know... I just know that you're stupid.
"Ahhhhh! Mine! Mine! Faith for me! Now... kill... kill... kill!!
Jakin!
Two song swords emerge from the hand of the black robe.
"Ahhhh! Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill...
"Death Knight! Oh, my God."
Bush!
The nearby Knights of the Holy Order feed on the song sword one by one, chopping it up.
"Whoa… they're killing allies from one to the next.
"You'll see when you look in the eye. That is the exact opposite of a tomato. Besides, he was called the Death Knight.
"Ah, what is the Death Knight?
"Did you know that the Knights of the Holy Order have a place and are divided into colors?
"Was it red, silver, gold, black?
"That's right. It seems that there are only a few of them who were allowed the black embroidery, but this is what they call them.
Holy Knight. "
"The Holy Knight... that means he's one of them?
"I've only heard rumors... but I never met you here..."
"Fuhihi! Fuhihihihi!
Blood is showering all over her body, and her black clothes are turning red and black.
In it, the Knight of Death smiles spookily.
"What kind of guy is that? The Holy Knight.
"Rumor has it... they are the most faithful of the Holy Knights, and they have the power to overwhelm others.
"Pheeeeeeeeeee!
After all, the Dead Knight, who killed all the members of the Holy Knights around him, is circling around with a crazy laugh in the blood.
It's broken. I can only express it.
"I'm sure you're not mistaken for someone who has the power to overwhelm others..."
"The power is real... if you let it go, you'll die.
"I know.
"Pheeeeeeeee......"
When I stopped my pleasant body, I twisted my neck and looked at it with disgusting eyes.
"Why... can you use my magic...?
"Maybe... I got it in the same place as you.
"Ah... I knew it... that's why I wanted to keep that dungeon down...
Well, okay. Kill him, kill the people in the city... and kill those people in the countryside... and we'll figure it out.
"... why are you targeting Delsmark...?
"Why... it's because it's your instruction.
I don't know that either, so I can't. I don't have enough faith. No, no, no, no, no...
I have to guide you. Hey? "
At the same time as the words are finished, the mouth under the hood is sharply distorted.
"Haaaa!!
Gakin '!
I had no idea what had happened.
Suddenly, the Shadow attacked the Death Knight from the side.
The Death Knight's Song Sword plays the attack of its shadow.
"... it's sudden.
"Lisa?!
Lisa was the one who stormed from the side. Shouldn't we have arrived at Prithue's escort...?
"You... your eyes... I remember!
"... who?
The Knight of Death answers indifferently.
"You... you look at my sister!
Lisa has lost herself completely in anger.
Lisa, wait!
"Uh-oh!
"I don't know what's bothering me..."
With Lisa's power, the Death Knight can't stand a tooth! Definitely killed!
Etha already jumped out when I was about to run away.
Don't!
I slammed my body right next to Lisa and blew it off.
When Lisa's eyes saw Etha, a color of surprise and regret appeared on her face.
Bush!
A Knight of Death song sword waved at Lisa crawled over Etha's back.
Blood splashed and hit Lisa's cheek, which had been blown away.
Shit!
Etha!
"Eh... sister...?
"Huh? You cut a different one. Well, we're all gonna die anyway, right?
Blood is seeping from Etha's back, which fell to the ground.
"Sister! Sister!
Disturbed Lisa rushes to Etha, shaking her shoulders.
Lisa, calm down!
"Sister! Sister!
"Shut up... yeah. I've made up my mind. I'll lead you first.
The Death Knight made a clattering sound and turned to Lisa.
Speed that looks like it's gone.
Gakin '!
I managed to stop the sword that Lisa waved down.
"Did you... protect my sword...?
Fly right behind you and distance yourself from me, Death Knight.
"Hey, Lisa! Calm down!"
Covering their backs, they pointed their swords at the Knights of Death.
"Sinya! Sister... Sister!
"Calm down! Are you hurt?!
Don't turn around and ask questions.
"Kuhaha...!... it's okay, it's okay..."
It wasn't Lisa who responded, it was Etha.
Sister!
"It's okay... this much...!!
Etha, who tried to get up, distorted her face in pain.
"Don't move!
Etha frowned and then meditated.
Sister!
"Lisa! Did you bring the wound medicine?!
"Uh-huh!
My words seem to have arrived.
"I can use all of it. Just put it on the wound!
"Okay!
"You... prevented my sword..."
The Knight of Death in front of him is standing still whispering something. Anything now is fine if you can buy me some time.
"... I have to try it again... because it can be a coincidence..."
Her downward-facing eyes slowly rose, pointing towards my face.
Gagging!
The trajectory of the horizontal rake toward the neck, which was packed in time in an instant, was close to sight. The tip of the blade that I managed to catch in response touched my hair, and the cut hair fell to my feet.
"... I stopped again..."
Boom!
The Death Knight slightly avoids the sword I paid back and falls back.
"It's no good... it's no good... it's no good... it's no good!
I scratched my whole body again and started screaming.
"Dammit... I don't know what you mean, you're so cute! You're a pretty young man!
Sinya!
Lisa's voice from behind. It seems that Etha's treatment has been completed.
"Lisa, get Etha back!
But!
"Just back off!
Lisa walks back with Etha as a bikry to my yelling voice.
"Ah... I can't believe Lisa remembered him..."
Etha raised her face in pain.
Dogo!
"Sister...?
Shit...
Etha's elbow grabs Lisa's back of the head and Lisa loses consciousness.
"I'm sorry... he's my cause.
Etha looked down at Lisa and laughed helplessly.
"I'm out!
Several soldiers broke through the undead and headed our way. The fire in the back is burning everywhere, and it seems to be getting pretty excited.
"Sorry, you guys. Bring Lisa to Prithue.
"What?! Why would we do that?"
"Just go!!
"Ha, yes!
He was an amazing soldier obedient to Etha.
Returning to the path through which the soldiers holding Lisa fell.
"Eh...."
Etha distorts her face in pain.
"Back off, Etha.
"I hate it... because I owe it to him. I won't give up. I can't forgive you for targeting Lisa again.
……
Etha's not feeling well. I'll tell you one more time to step back...
"It's no use looking at me like that. I'm not coming back because you killed me.
Apparently, they won't listen.
"It's tough on me to be nice to the soldiers.
"They're not dying right now. You carry your luggage well.
The soldiers let me get away with it, but I can't.
……
"Please... Shinya.
Etha's eyes will never get away from here. That's what I said.
"For a moment.
"I'll make a gap for just a moment. Decide once.
"... Kuhahaha! That's good! I don't hate beatings!
Etha smiled with both corners of her mouth.
"Stay there until then.
"... okay. Please."
"Leave it to me."
Even if you say so, it is more difficult than you can imagine to fight while protecting one person. You must always be careful to be positioned between the opponent and the object you are protecting, and naturally you are not allowed to be attacked behind you.
You should have punched her like Lisa, but it's too dangerous to keep an eye on the Death Knight now.
And Etha is ready for everything. It's hard to move such a guy.
If you can't move it, you'd better stay calm.
"Let's do it. I swore I'd never miss it again.
Once again, hold the handle of the sword firmly to confirm it.
"Am I... Am I... short of faith...? This isn't enough...? Believe me, I'm weak...?
The Death Knight with his head lying down to the left and right.
"That can't happen... it can't be good!
A song sword came at me as I shredded the cobblestone.
Even though it only looks crazy, the sword muscle is sharp and accurately targeting the emergency.
Ginnh!
Every time I receive a song sword, a spark splashes in front of me.
Even though you are wearing a small body, you are also strong.
"Ahhhhhhh!!
The round eyes that you see behind the hood are bloody and your eyes tremble.
Giggggggggggggh!
Even if I managed to prevent the sword muscle that I saw just momentarily, I couldn't completely prevent all the raging attacks.
Every time the neck of the Death Knight's swinging sword passes through his skin, he runs a sharp pain.
Cuts are engraved all over your body.
"My faith!
Ginnh!
Two song swords hit the sword in parallel.
I tried to endure it with strength, but my body floated with fluffiness.
"Huh?!
When I was thrown into the air, I flew backwards.
Shit!
At the same time as the impact, the body rotates sideways and rolls over the cobblestone.
Sinya!
"Don't come!
"Hmm!?
Stop Etha with a strong tone of voice.
"Always make a gap. Wait for that time. Don't miss it.
Stand up with your hands on your knees.
"My faith... my... my... my..."
"I don't know if it's faith, but all the screws are blowing up.
Speed and power levels are abnormal.
Fighting as it is cannot create a gap.
We need to control Sinya's body perfectly.
Until now, the control didn't work if I put all my efforts into it. Your legs get tangled and you can't move as you think.
But we'll have to force it.
"Sure... you hated using this magic.
Draw a magical formation with your fingertips.
"That magic is mine! It's just me!
A white fireball pops out of the finished magical formation and flies towards the Death Knight. Instead of avoiding the Death Knight who saw it, he plunged straight into the fireball.
"I won't forgive you!!
Swing the sword down on the fireball and cut the pale flame. The opponent is a flame. Even if they were, they wouldn't be intact. Besides, it will be difficult to take my sword in pursuit with my sword down.
"Raah!
Cut the sword straight down from the top.
At that moment, the vision is dyed black.
"Huh?!
I realized that the black robe worn by the Knight of Death blocked my vision, but I couldn't stop my arm from moving.
Bili Bili!
The sword slit the robe, but I can't see the Death Knight.
Fuck!
The blade tip of the curved sword protruding from the shadow of the robe pierces the robe and stabs it in the shoulder of the left arm.
Gu!
Fly back and take a distance, but your wound hurts and your fever spreads when you twitch.
A black robe hanging on the Death Knight's song sword. At the tip of the blade, a flash of red blood falls on the cobblestone.
When the sword is swinging down and the blood and robe are out of sight, the Knight of Death is in sight.
Blackish, crispy, stretched hair. A distorted mouth in a round eye.
Comes with a neutral body that neither man nor woman can take.
I wonder if it's a black cat... I can hear it on my head, but they're both gone like they were ripped off on the way. The black, elongated tail that stretches from the waist area is slightly cut in the middle.
Above all, the marks of severe burns from the face to the neck and from sleeveless clothing to the arm and cuts that fill the visible skin without gaps.
"That body..."
"I knew it... I should guide you..."
Instead of talking, he didn't even hear me.
"Ahh... everything about me is for you..."
The Death Knight stares into the sky with his soft eyes.
I don't know what happened to the Death Knight... and I don't want to know.
Right in front of him is the man who attacked Popol, and Sylvie is dead because of him. That's all I need to know.
The sky has already turned purple. Every time the flames created by the battle between the undead and the soldiers shake Yurayura, the shadow of the Death Knight and I move.
"I don't need that power... for someone who doesn't have faith!
The sword reflects the light of fire.
My left arm didn't move as I thought.
Ginnh!
When the sword strikes a straight sword, your body is pulled back. My feet rub against the cobblestones, and if I don't step on them, I'll get my buttocks.
The pressure on the Death Knight has increased since I came here.
"Lead meeeeee!
Giggggggggggggh!
Every time you receive a blade that is hit violently, blood blows out from your shoulders and your hands tremble to keep taking it.
"I'll give it to you!
Giggggggggggggh!
Strong.
That was a candid feeling.
There's no shape, just a sword swinging violently.
"Fuhihihihihihi!
Gah! Gah!
The face of the Dead Knight illuminated by the flame has an ugly smile.
I answered a joking questionnaire and came here.
I didn't even think about being the strongest or famous.
I didn't even want to be strong until Mr. Sylvie died smiling and tearing in front of me. I wish I could have enjoyed myself.
But I saw it.
In just a few seconds, the person who has ever smiled at me will never laugh again.
I thought about it.
I don't want to miss anything I can grab with my hands again.
I wanted it.
I want to be strong enough to protect someone.
"Ahhhhh!
Gakin '!
I bounced back the sword that had been forced to wave. Brutally, full of strength.
The swinging sword was largely played, and the Death Knight's left arm stretched back.
Shit! Shit!
The left foot that stepped out crushed the cobble and rolled it up.
"Ahhhhhhhh!
Ignoring his painful shoulders, he waved his sword sideways with both hands.
"I'm aaaaaaaahh!!
The Holy Knight of Death waves down his right hand sword to catch my sword.
Baggin!!
The steel sword that hit the sword broke into pieces.
Blow the Death Knight's song sword and right arm to pieces.
"Fuhihi.
The left arm that was being played backwards came back.
You said your right arm blew to pieces, but you weren't scared for a second.
The light of fire illuminates me with a red sword.
Cashan!
Eight blades wrap the face of the Death Knight with a smile on his face.
"Huh?!
The eyes of the Knight of Death move sideways, trying to see the back.
"I owe you my left eye and my sister. I'll get it back.
From behind, Etha murmured, enveloping the face of the Dead Knight with her claws on both hands.
"My faith!!
The blade pulled from behind swallows into the face of the Death Knight.
Blood overflows from under the blade, and the entire face is dyed red.
A few drops of blood also hit my cheek.
Zashh!!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Once upon a time....
My parents, who don't even remember my face, threw me away.
My parents abandoned me when I was still small and didn't know anything about the world.
I only remember it was a hot and humid day.
A small village near Delsmark.
I think I was born there. [M]
I haven't cried at all since I was little, and I'm not angry at all. [M]
I think it's creepy, and I've been abandoned...
Behind the woods so far away from such a village that children cannot go home alone. The roots of the lush trees. They took me there and left me there.
Did you cry and try to stop it, or did you just sit back and watch your parents leave? I can't remember that.
But perhaps I was just watching in silence.
Why I cry, why I get angry, why I'm happy... I didn't know. I... didn't know what that feeling was.
Where the monsters were, it was very difficult for children to live alone.
I caught little insects and other creatures and put them in my mouth, and I was hungry.
I don't know if it was a few days, a few months, or a few years... but I was picked up by a group that kept going there.
"Hmm? What...?
One day, a man with a strange face appeared in front of him.
………
"Ugh! Your head! There's a kid here!
Kid?
"Look at me!
The forcibly grabbed arm hurt badly, but he didn't make a sound.
"... it's too small to sell. Leave me alone.
"Really..."
…………
I thought you were looking cold, but I didn't think anything about it.
……
"Your head?
"You. Do you have a name?
Somehow the man called your head looked at us again and wondered.
"... bits.
"... I'll take you with me. Hey, put the kid in the truck!
I was thrown into the truck. [M]
I was taken out of the woods by a group of men dressed in shameful clothes.
They were all Wesen, commonly known as bandits.
The man who was called the head was always hanging on his hips with a sword in a sheath that wasn't the right size.
I've learned a lot since these guys picked me up.
Especially the big lesson was that you had to kill something to get something.
Food, drinks, clothing. It meant that when someone had it and wanted it, they had to kill it.
It was a small knife that my head handed to me, who was too small to even hold a sword.
"A man who can't kill anybody has no right to get something. Kill and take it if you want it.
That said, I put my head on my hand with a slippery knife.
A sharp, sharp, dull glowing knife.
When you crawl it to your fingertips, you feel sharp pain, and then bright red blood flows from your fingertips.
I understood immediately when I saw it. [M]
This is the power we need to get something.
